> You won't get it if you're in the EU

I'm dreaming of a day to come where all people on earth get a bare minimum of freedom to install, remove and disable whatever piece of software on their devices. As a non-EU citizen, I have to confess I'm having some jealous feeling of European citizens because they have a superior authority fighting big companies on behalf of them.

I've tried the google sheets 'gemini' integration. And it is honestly not usable at all. It hallucinates much more than if I just download the data as CSV, upload to the actual gemini, and then ask the question.

It was so (comically) bad that I ended up sharing a lot of screenshots on my process trying to make it work with my team just for entertainment value lol.

One time I asked it to do a diff between "col A" and "col B" and it started telling me it was a "goddess of light" blabla. I'm assuming because the random values in col A and col B completely polluted it's context window so it spewed nonsense back.

EDIT: I know the article is about the MSFT counterpart products. I've not used those with Copilot so can't speak to their quality.

I'm an old-school web guy. React is stupid easy, but by nature of things being easy it also encourages really bad habits.

Performance is one thing (the internet is getting slower! Impressively bad!), but also webapps are becoming so incredibly overdesigned, at the expense of the user experience.

Before we had the discrete fields of front-end engineering, design, UX, etc web design was inherently limited and we used standardized shorthands for everything across the industry. With React it's so easy to throw out best practices and try to redesign every single experience from scratch. Combine that with the Figma-fication of web design and teams can get lost making pixel perfect designs that are usability nightmares.

Let's be honest - what percentage of modern React websites actually provide a better user experience than Craigslist? It's fast, I'm not dealing with buttons that move around as a page loads, unusual text sizes at non-standard screen sizes, etc. (The famous McMaster-Carr website is another example).

There are fully open projects like Voron or RatRig, and sellers of DIY kits based on them. Potentially a lot of work unless you're interested in 3D printing itself as a hobby rather than as a tool.

Prusa Core One would be a bit more complete OOTB. It is 220mm in the smallest axis (Y) though. Slicer and firmware are open source, but the hardware is not (unlike previous Prusa printers).

Bambu gives you the same capability for much less, but the firmware is not open source (third party open source firmware does exist). I believe the stock firmware also has to "phone home" at least once before it can be used offline.

Even cheaper are less-well known Chinese companies, like Qidi. Firmware is usually a proprietary fork of Klipper or other open source projects; some people have had success flashing the mainline version.

I have a home in the southwest that is offgrid and runs entirely off solar. It has a 43kwh battery that covers 100% of it's needs including AC. It has a 4kw solar array.

The batteries shipped to your home inclusive of all taxes and fees, UL listed, are only $5,400 today from a variety of reputable suppliers.

This is obviously different than urban london but I wanted to point out just how economical this is for huge swaths of the country and how absolutely absurd some of the pricing I see on things like tesla powerwall are.

Note: There are a lot of components to an installed battery system that effect pricing such as racking, wires, busbars, breakers, etc, etc. I am referring only to the enclosed battery units with BMS.

Professional kitchens doing environmentally-sensitive cooking are going to have climate controlled areas and tools that make that work. Your kitchen probably doesn't. Many recipes will have wildly varying demands for flour (among other things) based on humidity, ambient temperature, elevation, the water, and the flour being used. Volume estimates end up being more accurate to the process than precise weights.

> Whether good or bad, it's important to realize this is not true in California, with regard to these laws. They apply everywhere, not only in urban centers.

According to the linked article, the only areas affected by this bills are major transit centers and high throughput public transit stops, which tends to exclude small towns far from cities. If you look at the linked map, affected areas are all concentrated in big cities

Are you commenting on the bill being discussed here or on something else entirely?

> People don't realize that lockdowns were half a decade ago already

Myself included. My perception of time has been off ever since, and 2020 quite literally feels like it was just last year.

Same for my peers. I'd really be curious to see some study done on this, and why this distorted perception of time exists now. I'm not sure I can attribute it to lock-down necessarily. I was already fully remote pre-COVID, and my habits nor work schedule changed during lock downs other than wearing a mask whenever I left the house.

We get Copilot at work. From what I can see the Copilot app is just the Copilot web interface in its own container and webview, though I've not gone poking at it.

Considering the web page in a browser can easily eat >5gb RAM just to display a single conversation (it's honestly mind boggling; how can something use 5gb of memory and a noticeable amount of CPU just to display relatively little and lightly formatted text?), having it self-contained makes killing it to reclaim memory easy.

For those of you wanting to get more angry, the "menu key" on my new Thinkpad has the default action of Copilot and the Copilot logo printed on it. On the other hand, he Ctrl key is finally in the -r-i-g-h-t- left place at least...

The rss feed title didn’t seem to align with the content. As more said they hallucinate because they were trained to give answers and a “I’m don’t know” is penalized as much as a wrong answer. And they say they don’t fix this because if 30% of time people got a I dunno they would stop using it. I don’t see how telling a user when they aren’t confident of the answer would cause ChatGPT to stop completely tomorrow. People like answers but most assume the answers are correct and would be very helpful to know when the bot isn’t sure. It could say there isn’t enough credible information or their is a lot of conflicting information on the matter and then say what those different potential answers are or how they user might confirm the answer etc. Seems like many options. And you could always let the user choose in preferences if they’d always prefer answer or not.

> Then fine the companies and don’t shackle the workers

We have been for years now, but Hyundai has not changed their practices in the US.

From child labor [0] to employees literally crushed to death [1] to constant OSHA failures [2] for over a decade [3], Hyundai's leadership has continued to have a horrid track record on worker safety in the United States.

We have been punishing them for decades, but they do not change. If this is the only way to get a message across to Korea Inc, so be it.

> Optics, in international relations, matter a lot.

Of course.

Yet the optics of a company like Hyundai getting hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in state and federal subsidizes but continuing to flout US laws also matters.

As I mentioned before, Samsung hasn't had similar scandals despite investing a similar amount in the US, nor have Hyundai's peers in Japan.

Using the ICE raid to whitewash Hyundai's obscene labor record (like a number of commentators are doing) is ridiculous.

QR codes do not qualify as Augmented Reality at all. "QR" is a data encoding format. It does not augment reality in any way.

The only tangential use of QR codes in AR is when a QR code is sometimes used as an anchor point, but the QR code isn't AR, it's merely an anchor point, and there are many other types of anchor points used for AR that are not QR codes.

If you're pointing a phone at a QR code and see some 3D thing pop out of it, that also isn't QR being AR, that's QR encoding data and the phone doing whatever it wants with that data. It could just as easily be a logo causing the AR device to do the same thing, or really any other kind of marker the AR program recognizes. QR codes are just convenient as they encode various kinds of data, so the program that scans it can react to what data is encoded in the QR code.

Yes, but when React launched, 1.x was its main competition. We started to incorporate React into parts of our app that needed better performance, and found ourselves using it for essentially all our new projects. It was quick to pick up, made apps easier to reason about, and had much more performant DOM updates. Angular's two-way binding made for flashy demos, but quickly became a leaky abstraction for complex pages with lots of updates.

That was in 2013. Angular 2 came out in 2016, and by that point React had won. Have had to dabble in other frameworks since then, and none of them seem to do anything significantly better than React. I spent my early career learning a new FE framework every year, at this point I'm happy to have something boring that does what I need and has a great ecosystem around it.

> Is a vocal anti-vaxxer dying from a 2% mortality disease, where a vaccine reduces it to 0.05% mortality a predictable consequence? Is someone standing on a rooftop during a thunderstorm, and getting struck a predictable consequence? Is inciting your country into going to war, and then being one of the small % of the population dying in that war a predictable consequence?

No, no, and no. I already explained this very clearly.

Is it really "usually?" I think that people often think of the worse cases (Argentina, etc). Looking at https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG?most_rec..., the US is at 103, there are 102 countries with worse inflation, and 215 with better. From https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/wld/wor..., the Global Average Inflation rate for 2023 was 5.7%, more than the US but not out of control.

I don't know what the effect is called, but suddenly some unrest in some country or inflation in another calls for creating a whole new money system. It seems unreasonable and I'm a bit suspicious of where it comes from.

Build those things into your estate. My family made a trust that pays bills and what not. So your income goes to the trust and you use it to pay regular bills and groceries and what not. Anything on the "not-approved" list takes a vote of the people controlling the trust (parents and kids). That has helped us avoid some bullshit so far.

That always depends on how difficult discoverability is. For example if you're designing for something like Apple Watch there's very limited place for stuff, so you either pack it or you find ways to only show what's most important, using gestures or menus to do other stuff.

Mobile apps having less UI elements immediately visible is not all bad. The hard part of new UX concepts like the new iOS camera button sliding feature is that it's new. Users aren't immediately familiar with it. Not every OS functionality uses it consistently. Etc.

It's probably better to wait a year or two before critiquing Liquid Glass. Change is always risky and takes time to fully roll out and the ecosystem to adopt it widely.

edit(timeout): If you're wondering why you can't find anything about the events I've mentioned, that's because I insisted that the involved parties keep their mouths shut about my identity, that I don't want to see any of this reported in the media, at the times newspapers, radio, or TV. Even to the police, or firemen, when they were involved. (Like trying to break open doors with an axe, when I've been doing my stuff, and some panicked bystanders called them)

I don't care about 'followers', groupies, fans, admirers, 'disciples', publicity and fame. Never did.

They are distractions. And a potential hassle.

As the metaphor of some allegedly crucified guy shows very well, doesn't it? :-)

I'm sorry, what? The Secretary of State is trying to subvert the first amendment and punish people for not supporting a genocidal foreign state by taking away his political opposition's ability to leave or enter the country.

It is downright preposterous to insinuate you can't be upset or demand accountability until after the authoritarian has all the votes and power they require and it's too late to do anything.

Proposing this alone should have Marc Rubio stripped of his position and blacklisted from office by public opinion. The fact it's not is a sign of how inept the American political system actually is.

AFAIK two effects were immediate.

1) Some CEOs stopped posting their photos and other information online, clearly understanding they too could become targets and somewhat lowering the social prestige of that position.

2) One insurance company backed down from its attempt to decide how long anaesthesia should last instead of the doctors.

A long term effect is that many podle feel empowered to talk about how big companies and abusing the system and what they think should happen to people controlling those companies.

Look how many doctors and nurses started taking about the abusive practices of insurance companies. Hopefully it leads to change, otherwise it's likely events like this will keep happening, especially when the abused are people who have little to lose.

Why do these articles keep dismissing the innovations by React itself. The Svelte compiler is revolutionary, but the React compiler is not enough somehow. The React-Team has worked on server components, concurrent rendering, suspense & transitions. They all integrate with each other to allow for some really elegant patterns.

While the VDOM overhead does exist, it's not the performance bottleneck. More likely reasons are waterfall fetching (present in all frameworks and solvable by React Server Components) or excessive revalidation (solved by the compiler)

going forward, solar pv and batteries will continue to get cheaper, but each house will vary quite considerably in how to maximise and optimise things for what will always be an exercise in averages that is modified by whatever contingencies are included, and after living off grid for decades I could care less and recomend careing less about the math, start now with something modest, iterate,learn, end then install the largest system that you can. If you are going to build new, start with site selection, plan for car charging, and use all of the best practices for integrating passive solar into the homes structure.ie : homes built with double walls and a thermal break require NO home heat source as normal domestc activities will generate excess heat that must be vented. Anywhere north or south of 30° design should be for bad weather in the winter, and the rest of the year will almost certainly be gravy. For all refits and renovations to solar, the math will always be ,the most that will physicaly fit. Regulatory limitations will most certainly restrict batteries to a day or two backup in most situations.In most jurisdictions, a large battery would require a seperate building with significant set backs to any structure, untill we get to solid state non flamable batteries, which may be on the horison now.

If you're willing to use one measly little macro - solely to smuggle the format string in a constexpr manner - instead of insisting on using templates everywhere, you can use a printf wrapper with essentially 0 compile-time overhead. And the only runtime overhead is if you have to copy a `string_view` back into a `string` to add the `NUL`-terminator.

You do still need templates for the arguments (unless you're willing to resort to nasty preprocessor hackery, which would be needed if doing this in C - hmm, are the lifetime-of-temporary rules different too?), but it's pretty easy to just do:

my_asprintf_or_whatever(to_borrowed_primitive(to_owning_primitive(arg))...)

where `to_owning_primitive` is the ADL'ed function you implement for every type you want to print, and `to_borrowed_primitive` probably only needs to be implemented for each string type (though I did find it also useful for wrapped integers of unknown size/rank, such as `time_t`).

If you want a trail, there is already the PR. It has description that explains why the change makes sense, code changes, reviewers, if relevant screenshots and videos.

If you want small PRs that contain one meaningful, easy to review change, and that change only concerns the development team, there is no reason to create a ticket for the sake of creating a ticket.

Also, in some dysfunctional teams creating a ticket means it requires prioritization and you will most likely never work on it and ticket will be deleted five years from today when nobody you know with at the company anymore.

Believe me, no sane CFO (or include any person not in the dev team or product team) will look up your Jira ticket explaining why you wanted to refactor the GitHub actions because you had to update 10 files whenever there’s is a new version of a tool used in your pipeline.

Also, usually these changes are so small and straightforward, arguing about putting it in a ticket takes longer than reviewing it and merging it.

I feel like one could imagine some hypothetical Linux distro that works out of the box, has some baseline level of coherency and polish without you having to get your hands dirty, and also hasn’t been enshittified.

I have no idea what distro fits the bill the best, but surely it’s not like the only two options are: “be treated with no respect as the user” and “sink all of your time into into fixing things up”

Like how Linux Mint doesn’t force snaps on you like Ubuntu does. Probably not it, but one step of many in the right direction. Plain Debian is probably pretty close.

Sorry, I don't understand the "^ operator" in this context. Do I understand correctly that cargo will basically select the latest release that matches within a major version, so if I have two crates that specify "0.8" and "0.7.1" as dependencies then the compiler will use "0.8.n" for both? And then if I add a new dependency that specifies "0.9.5", all three crates would use "0.9.5"? Assuming I have that right, I'm quite surprised that it works in practice.

So China is still by far the worst polluter in the world but they are also making the biggest advances in green energy, and the hope is that it will eventually replace fossil fuels.

A bit of a clickbaity and misleading headline. But what i can't understand is why the Republicans hate renewables so much. I'd prefer it gets evaluated on it's merits and it should be allowed to compete in a free and fair contest against fossil fuels. "let the markets decide". I'm not one of the people who believes that the Trump administration decides policy based on what will cause the maximum possible social and economic harm but it's things like this that makes me believe that he's not a real conservative either.

I really get sick of the comparisons to the iPhone and AWS and such.

Those things solved problems. Nobody needed to be convinced an iPhone was a good idea; it was an iPod, a PDA, and a newspaper stuffed into a device the size of a credit card that you carried around with you and worked no matter where you were. That's a GREAT idea. No one needed to be convinced about what made an iPhone (or Android, or even Blackberry) a useful and good thing.

Conversely, AWS made starting web businesses no longer require on premises servers, or really knowing anything about servers. You picked what you needed, and if you needed more at some point, you picked that. You could even dynamically allocate and deallocate servers on an incredibly widely available and robust data-center backend. That's HUGE. Numerous massive companies today may not have ever gotten started if not for AWS and it's now making far more money than Amazon's retail business does, and we know how huge it is because East-1 went down some years back, and a third of the freaking Internet stopped working correctly.

What problem even remotely on this level does an LLM solve?

Last week I launched Code Jabba, a job board for software engineers that lets you filter jobs with over 15 filters including coding language, seniority level, position type ( frontend / backend / fullstack / etc. ), salary and a dozen more.

While I was building Code Jabba I realized it would face the marketplace problem ( chicken and egg problem ), where candidates would only use the site if there were recruiters posting jobs, recruiters would only use the site if there were candidates applying to jobs, and the site begins with neither.

I decided that it would be easiest to attract candidates to the site initially, so I found a job aggregator API that lets me post jobs sourced from linkedin and glassdoor onto my site. For 30 dollars a month, I can post up to 300 jobs a day. Even though I don't have recruiters posting jobs on the site yet, I have a large pool of job posts candidates can apply to, thereby solving the marketplace problem I faced when building Code Jabba.

It’s a grift, that’s why. Pedophile protector administration has silently dropped all of the regulatory lawsuits related to digital currency. There is minimal or no oversight right now. The pedophile in chief and family himself have also rug pulled their own tokens and not many people are caring.

I used to work at a few big banks, and because of the "friendly" nature of digital currencies. The traditional banking entities are trying to get in on the grift while they can.
