Definitely disagree on most of your points here, I think you don’t touch at all on optimistic mutations, don’t put enough weight on the extreme downsides it enforces on your code organization, the limits and downsides of forcing server trips, the huge downsides of opting out (yes you can, but now you have two ways of writing everything and two ways of dealing with data, or you can’t share data/code at all), it is in effect all or nothing else you really are duplicating a ton and then even worse DX.

Many of the features like transitions and all the new concepts are workaround you just don’t really need when your data is mostly local and optimistically mutated, and the ztunes app is a tiny demo but ofc you could easily server render it and split transitions and all sorts of things to make it more of a comparable demo to what I assume you think are downsides vs RSC.

I think time will show that RSC was a bad idea, like Redux which I also predicted would not last the time of time, it’s interesting in theory but too verbose and cumbersome in practice, and other ways of doing things have too many advantages.

The problems they solve overlap more than enough, and once you have a sync engine giving you optimistic mutations free, free local caching, and free realtime sync, you look at what RSC gives you above SSR and there’s really no way to justify the immense conceptual burden and actual concrete downsides (like now having two worlds / essentially function coloring, forces server trips / lack of routing control) I just bet it won’t win. Though given the immense investment by two huge companies it may take a while for that to become clear.

There are a few caveats with the medical expense deduction.

* It's only a deduction for income tax. FSAs let you save on FICA as well.

* It's an itemized deduction. You only benefit after your total itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction. Fewer people are itemizing nowadays because the federal standard deduction is large.

* There's a 7.5% of AGI floor: you can only count medical expenses that exceed this fraction of your income.

In addition to all 40 mentions of framework (on page 1 of your discord search), Omarchy is being featured regularly (in tandem with frameworks) as the distro of choice of our lord and savior ThePrimeagen.

But, I'm just out here callin it like I see it - Did I make the wild claim of only hundreds of frameworks? I meant BILLIONS! BILLIONS!!!

No part of the Antikythera mechanism showed any indications of being electrically powered, rather all reconstructions show it was operated by hand.

There was no "Analytical Engine" in ancient Rome. I don't even know what this could be referring to.

As your link mentions, the "Baghdad Battery" was debunked long ago, it's just a jar for storing scrolls.

The modern symbology of circuit diagrams was invented in the 20th century.

None of those cuneiform structures even work as circuit diagrams.

It's coincidence. The Dendera lightbulb isn't a lightbulb either.

Thanks for pointing out the lack of info on conflict resolution in the README! It's been reported and we'll look at getting that updated ASAP.

In the meantime, you can find a lot of information in the official FAQ on how conflict resolution is handled (https://www.pgedge.com/resources/faq), but at-a-glance, "pgEdge offers eventual consistency between nodes using a configurable policy (e.g. last-writer-wins) for conflict resolution, along with conflict-free delta apply columns (i.e. CRDTs) for running sum fields. This allows for independent, concurrent and eventually consistent updates across multiple nodes."

Something is always lost in a translation, but I always advise everyone to read the reviews of available translations of any foreign book they are planning to read. The quality of translations varies wildly.

One of the biggest things is that there are lots of old public domain translations of popular works, but the translations are very outdated. They rank higher in Amazon because either they are cheaper, or their publishers use their power to rank them higher because they are making a bigger profit. The new translations of Les Misérables are superior, but the one that is pushed highest is the 100 year old translation that is the "official" version that the (excellent) popular musical have put their stamp of approval (and poster) onto.

+1 to Windmill. Incredibly powerful tool with a simple UI. It's super easy to Self-Host using their product docker-compose.yaml file and, outside of changing a few variables in a .env file, it's pretty much plug and play.

Unlike other tools, you don't need to make any changes to existing scripts when migrating over to Windmill, it accepts plain Python, Typescript, Rust, C#, and many more.

We use it to orchestrate all internal tools and automation and has been a huge time saver.

Unfortunately, I don't think the mechanism is quite restricted enough. TFA says that repairing the BBB helps amyloid plaque clearance. Would the author of your blog post claim that as a win, or admit that the plaques are downstream of the problem, and that BBB integrity is closer to the root cause of the disease process?

The author of that blog post, for whom I am in an excellent position to speak, would point to the "sole intended mechanism" clause in the testable prediction. That is, if the therapeutic's developers do not claim any other intended pathway for clinical benefit from improved BBB integrity other than amyloid−β clearance, then it would count. If not, then it would not count, even if it's plausible or even likely that that's the main pathway by which the benefits are accruing.

However, because this is early preclinical research, it's not likely to reach a late-stage clinical trial within the 12-year window of the author's prediction. Furthermore, in every year there are about a dozen of these preclinical studies that go viral for some reason or other, often having little correlation with how promising the science is. I haven't had a chance to look into this one in detail, so this isn't a negative comment about it, but the base rate of this stuff panning out is low, even if it's good research.

The author of that article would also point out that the concept of "the root cause" isn't terribly well-defined, but that strong evidence points to amyloid pathology as the common entrypoint in all cases of Alzheimer's disease, even if multiple upstream factors (some possibly relating to the BBB) can feed into that, depending on the specific case. Similarly, calorie surplus causes obesity in nearly all cases, but the specific cause of calorie surplus may vary from person to person.

I can't guess what point you're trying to make with a long article that acknowledges the fraud in the beginning, and then rehashes the initial reasons for looking into the amyloid hypothesis. No one is claiming it was stupid to look into the amyloid hypothesis. They are complaining that it hasn't been the most promising theory in quite a long time, and it was fraudulently held as the most promising. Other theories, arguably more promising, are listed throughout your article.

A correction: the article does discuss other hypotheses, in pointing out that they can't account for crucial evidence, whereas there isn't any major evidence the amyloid hypothesis seems to have trouble accounting for, and it thus remains very strong.

Interesting read — and honestly, this isn’t unique to the U.S. or Mexico. Bureaucratic inefficiency and siloed systems seem to be universal in government operations. What’s missing isn’t just “digitization,” but true digital transformation — interoperable systems, shared data standards, and accountability built into the process.With AI advancing so fast, I wonder if we’ll see tools or frameworks that can actually help governments move past legacy workflows instead of just automating the same inefficiencies.

The special sauce here is that it is built on a very small LLM (Qwen) which means this can run on CPU-only, or even on micro devices like Raspberry Pi or a mobile phone.

Architecturally it's similar to other LLM-based TTS models (like OuteTTS) but the underlying LLM makes them able to release it under an Apache 2 license.

Ohh boohoo!!

They are mad big techs aren't allowing them to receive back the money invested. Since OpenAI made ChatGPT public, everything went to shit.

Company after company is firing folks to be replaced by AI, only to hire them back because everything went to shit. The IT job market was already broken, it is a complete mess right now.

System breach is all time high coz of vibe coding/AI/LLM is introducing vulnerabilities.

The brighter side??? Some companies are starting to realise that AI/LLM has been rushed and are creating more problems than solving them.

>You can say you're a victim of circumstance or you can say I care a lot about something and have more control over your life.

>I'm biased because I'm 45 and have never driven a car in my life.

I learned to drive when I was 24-25, after moving to Texas for graduate school, and cycling everywhere for a year.

I cycled ~3 miles for groceries.

I hauled an upright vacuum cleaner ~4 miles on a bicycle. And a bar stool.

You really can't blame me for not trying hard to avoid driving.

You can't blame me for, say, wanting to go to a movie theater, which was less than a mile away... by highway frontage, where cars would go 60mph.

You can't blame me for wanting to see places other than College Station, TX, when I was living there (despite the name, there isn't a station there, and hasn't been for the past 100 years or so).

And you can't blame for wanting to fucking live, after a good friend of mine was mauled down by an SUV when he, a non-driver, got out into the street in Long Island on roller blades.

Several were hit by cars while cycling (non-lethally, thankfully). At least one by a driver who was looking left (into the oncoming traffic) while making a right turn, and ignored what's literally in front of his car.

> then moved to Portland, OR because it was a decent place to live without a car.

My friend, not everyone has the choice to move to a handful of metro areas in the US where living without a car isn't a pain.

I'm glad you have the means and the resources.

I didn't, and still don't; Silicon Valley is where the jobs are for me. And it's not a great place to be at without a vehicle - and I say that even as I do use an e-bike for short runs.

After all is said and done, my quality of life has gone up tremendously after getting a car.

And that's why it's not a me-problem.

It's true that learning an alphabet shouldn't take as long as learning the entire language. However, there's still a difference with cuneiform:

All of the examples you mentioned are derivatives of the Phoenician alphabet, which have around 20 to 30 characters each. Even with case sensitiveness and diacritics, I think they still add up to under a hundred characters.

Cuneiform character sets are in the order of magnitude of the several hundreds or even thousands, depending on the language[1], so I imagine that the experience is closer to learning to read Chinese or Japanese and less like Hebrew and Greek.

That being said, I've never tried to learn neither cuneiform or hanzi, so I'm just guessing based on the number of characters.

If the light stays red while the "walk" sign is active (usually the case) it's a whole lot less likely that there will actually be a pedestrian there during the turn. There's also a bit more time (while waiting for the light) to see a bike approaching. Yes, all parties still violate the law and accidents can still happen, but they become less likely.

There are job objects which are similar to Linux cgroups, including the ability to set a limit on the number of processes. But I'm not sure if that limit will be tripped in this case or not because the child processes have exited, whereas the job object parameter is specifically called LIMIT_ACTIVE_PROCESS

> you can even still use class components

yes, but literally everyone will tell you to move away from that. It's like saying if you're not physically violated then you should put up with verbal harassment because it doesn't matter in any real way.

At the very least whoever using class components would have to routinely defend their decision every quarter when confronted by colleagues who understandably just wanna write conventional code.

I've been working on a project called lobbies.dev. It's a platform designed to lower the barrier for getting into game development, with Roblox as our starting point.

While our initial focus is on the Roblox ecosystem, the long-term goal is to expand to other platforms. We want players to be able to vibe code multiplayer worlds, complex games, and pretty much anything just by describing what you want in the chat box. We’re also adding collaboration features and pull requests for larger projects.

I think this could be amazing for players who want to bring their ideas to life without coding, and for those who wanna work together on a game a lot more easily and quickly. Let me know what you think of this idea and what features you'd find most valuable based on your own experiences.

Thanks for your time!

The entire scope of human storage or memory is not a constraint, but comes bottlenecked before constraints at arbitrary symbols, images and metaphors. The data even though it's analog, is still bottlenecked. Nothing specific even embedded or parameterized geometrically solves the bottleneck (AI can't do it, that's it's Achilles Heel, as it is ours). Think of language as a virus or parasite here, add symbols and logic, all a rendered from the arbitrary. How come nobody talks about this? We're mediocre thinkers using largely folk science in lieu of very evidently absent direct perception. In other words: we bought the sensation of language without ever verifying it, or correlating it to brain events or real events. The slow down to extinction was inevitable across all these mediums, technologies, preproductions, databases. Nothing solves it.

TFA makes a compelling contrarian point we probably need to consider more than we do. As someone who's been in high tech for 40 years, progress in fundamental enabling drivers like semi scaling has slowed significantly since 2010 and the industry's projections don't foresee a return to the extraordinary rates we enjoyed from ~1970 to ~2010.

This issue has been one of the biggest issues with the Claude models, not so much with GPT-4 or GPT-5.

I even had this Cursor rule when I was using Claude:

"- Do not use statements to catch all possible errors to mask an error - let it crash, to see what happened and for easier debugging."

And even with this rule, Claude would not always adhere. Never had this issue with GPT-5.

Most of them only supported the yellow RCA video in, not VGA or DVI. Just the VGA/DVI to RCA adapter costed some amounts too(not $49).

I think it was really right before COVID that HDMI capture devices finally dipped below $200. Then that Macro Silicon chip at $9 appeared out of the blue and solved PC video input problem. 20 years ago it indeed had been prohibitively expensive to capture desktop video outputs.

The challenge was high bandwidth nature of raw display outputs. Just 1024x768 @ 60Hz is over 1Gbps without overheads. A capture device for that is not something that can be "just" made.

Sidelines chat at UN was turning point for US president

A lot are talking about how useless the UN is due to vetos and such. But bringing parties in conflict together allows for such "after hours" talks that lead to real impact, and I think that aspect should not be dismissed.

This can be with the aid of neutral third parties which can provide a place where they can talk in private, QUNO[1] is one example I know of.

I didn't take your rebuttal / question as trollish in the least! Cars are a good analogy. Designers have a huge palette of historical references and callbacks to choose from, along with newer concepts and whatever is currently in vogue. The difference between a thoughtful design and a bad one is whether those things are blended meaningfully, intentionally, and finally in a pleasing and functional way. So like, not to get flamed if someone happens to be a PT Cruiser fan (because I'm friends with a guy who loves them), but I think that's an example of pastiche. The web design equivalent would be using a blatantly absurd "40s looking" font on the body text as opposed to using it judiciously on a couple of header elements, maybe.

I'm a Datsun guy myself, and I like what Nissan did aesthetically with the new Z, because it's not a replica but it's got just enough callbacks in the form.

I think in all types of design, historical reference is a large part of your "color palette". But you don't want to fall into retro nostlgia or pastiche unless that literally is the whole point of the brand (like, Johnny Rockets or something).

One of the most embarrasing things that can happen to a designer (and I know from experience) is to find out that a style they chose or an image they created because they thought it looked good was inadvertently referencing something they either didn't know about, or which they had absorbed subconsciously. When other people get a reference in your work that you didn't intend, that's a mistake. It's why when I interview graphic designers I'm not looking for whether or not their work "looks good" - which is completely subjective. I'm interested in how versatile they are at mimicking and synthesizing a broad array of visual language, and whether they can explain their choices - including their awareness of cultural callbacks and the intentionality that went into choosing them.

but there are policy differences

american cars are measurably bigger/taller/heavier than in EU/JP. and they drive measurably faster than in EU/JP. and the walking infrastructure (crossroads/pavements) is measurably worse.

also anecdotally it's way easier to get a driving license in the US than in France or Japan (I don't know for the other EU countries) so i suspect there is a higher number of bad drivers on the road, but i have no proof for that.

that said, i went to my license renewal training session in japan last month and they informed us that the most accident-prone situation is similar to the op's one. (left-turn but on green, since turn on red is illegal and we drive on the left). when those happen generally there is a big rework of the spot to avoid repeat accident. and we have a lot of old drivers too...

A leading thesis in the macro space is that the general response to interest burden is for policy to naturally shift to financial repression, or using monetary tools and regulations to suppress real interest rates and devalue the debt stock while dropping interest payments.

Ex: after 2020 debt to GDP went down in real terms despite the massive increase in liquidity.

Of course that just enables more deficit spending and shifts the world more towards a modern monetary policy model, where inflation is the limiting factor.

It's a plausible view. Just as governments that can print their own money will not default, they will print to pay, they will also generally avoid going into a crushing crisis due to interest payment burden. It's politically easier to use the currency as an outlet.

Interest rate payments are supposed to limit the extent of deficit spending (and government budgets getting squeezed by interest is arguably partly deflationary, in that it can spur deflationary crisis and bad real economic environments), but in practice increasing interest payments creates more of a phase shift where the system shifts to forced debt haircuts, and that flows in kind to extra pressure on the currency.

Just look at the current environment where Fed independence is being breached like never before, with the aim of forcing interest rates down without consideration for data driven risk analysis...

I too own no external monitors and do my dev/CAD/photography stuff on one of three laptops (macOS, linux, windows 11) [0] depending on where I am, and as much of my writing/planning on my now quite old iPad Pro away from said devices as possible.

So I use one of those cheap HDMI capture devices that flooded eBay about three months into the pandemic to watch Raspberry Pi boot logs or function as ad-hoc console monitor, either with my MBP or with the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro functions usefully as an occasional second monitor for the MBP more directly with USB-C/wifi, of course, so it all works out rather well.

[0] mostly macOS, though I am finally building up a desktop linux escape strategy, 31 years after I first ran X on linux, which might get finally kicked up a notch depending on what happens with Affinity at the end of the month
