Your comment really resonates with me, many thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings.

There are two sides of the coin: you as an individual, and society.

As an individual, you're doing the right things by focussing on playing your cards well. Running is much better in the long term than getting drunk or high, no question about that :)

In regards to society, the reality is that consumerism have intentionally promoted narcissism, 'use and throw away' mentality, disloyalty and other character traits that lead to anxiety, perpetual insatisfaction and disconnection with others. No wonder why a large part of the population suffers from stress, anxiety, loneliness, etc. Most people over 40 I know are on some sort of mood-control drugs.

We live in a world where companies are allowed to bombard people to a point where it's inevitable to live without seeing ads everywhere.
It's not only the prevalence of ads which is problematic, it's the fact that those ads exploit brain weaknesses to make people unsatisfied with their life. Always desiring new things. Always thinking what they have is not enough, what they do is not enough because company ads and social media project images of people that are both false and unrealistic. All this for their own profit.

Technology just made things worse by blending ads with information, and making us lose focus on the important stuff by requiring attention all the time.

I find the ad-age repugnant and highly damaging to people. We're no longer able to connect with others at a deep level. We're no longer able to think with focus and perspective. We have 100 things in our mind that require urgent attention, so there's no time to be happy.
People are now sitting in front of each other and not being able to really listen because their brain has other things in their mind.
More than 90% of the people I know are unable to have a healthy level empathy and connect with others. Their noses are buried too deep in their belly buttons.

For the 10% who listens and care, this world is a very frustrating and sad place. So they stop listening and caring, thus perpetuating the toxic cycle.

The way I deal with this problem is by focussing on my own expectations. I no longer expect people to listen or care. I know humans are highly unloyal and unreliable these days, so I rather seek happiness elsewhere (philosophy, arts, knowledge, etc.).
From a society's standpoint I became the misanthrope, anti-social hermit that no one wants to be around. And I couldn't be happier :) The moment I dropped desire and expectations to be 'normal', 'social', etc. my sadness and unhapiness went away.

I hope you also find your own path, my friend.
I think the hard part is not doing it as a false flag op, but getting away with it after the fact. There was a lot of eyes on the aftermath of 9/11.
Probably, copying ends when the original creative elements are unrecognizable. Renaming variables actually goes a long way to that, also having different or standardized (and therefore not creative) whitespace conventions, not copying high level structure of files, etc.

The functional parts of code are not copyrightable, only the non functional creative elements.

(Not a lawyer...)
I had the same issue last year when I was thinking about ditching MacOS in favor of Linux. I'm glad I chose PopOS. Elementary is beautiful but the release cycle and the app updates is way too slow for my taste.

I've been using PopOS as my main work OS (I'm a web developer) on a Thinkpad T480 for more than a year now and I'm super happy with it.
Text Similarity Using Graph ML
Exactly this. The idea was to consume as much complexity in the design and keep the build process as simple as possible so as many makers as possible with only a few tools could work with the designs.
> thoughtful in a similar way to Lex Fridman

I don't think that's a great plug tbh.
They said the same thing about HK: "If the US walked away from HK that puts Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and other allies in SE Asia at risk. Not going to happen"

Look at where we are now :|
How are some of those other apps too slow? Stream of consciousness definitely doesn't need to be recorded, you can polish the thought a bit before recording something. Even then I imagine a lot of my notes are junk I won't ever look at again. It was just useful at the time to scribble stuff down to help my own thought process, doesn't all have to go on record. OP seems to suffer a bit from "note anxiety".

Further, some minimal command line app would truly suck for me. What if I want to draw a diagram/sketch, express something that doesn't neatly fit into some text? Maths symbols? I don't want to type stuff. Embedding links? References? Screenshots?

An ipad pro has been a boon, I use notability or apple notes and just organise by date. What this is lacking is a good query feature.

The end game would be a clean infinite paper interface but still maybe something that I can go query on my desktop later. It should be able to at least parse maths symbols and convert it to sensible text. Diagrams it could stick into a picture.
Indeed. It does get more tiring on the eyes once you go below ~10 px no matter how you slice it.
It is obvious that this guy hasn’t spent any time in the non-urban South or Midwest, but to be fair, a rich German teenager would have no reason to, and would find the logistics a bit challenging even if he was really motivated to learn about life in the non-glitzy parts of the US. Life sucks for boys like him in rural East Texas if they can’t get out quickly. Life would have been kind of crappy for me as a bright, ambitious girl in the rural school district I was in through 5th grade, but I was able to transfer in to the neighboring city school district for middle and high school. High school was a waste of time academically for math and science, but spending a few more years with people who were not all bright, ambitious and/or from stable, middle class families was good for me in the long run.

“… Germany feels poorer than the US.”

Rural Franconia feels richer than East Texas outside the Houston metro area.

Mr. Aschenbrenner's education is incomplete until he works for a year outside of NY/Boston/Bay Area, supporting himself only on that income.
Amazing Microsoft. Doing good work as always to assure a secure operating system for the masses
Yep. They take on some "advanced" projects too, but at the end of the day it's a meat grinder.
Would you say the same things about John McCain during his election campaign?
When was Obama's contain China strategy declared? The only thing the West didn't predict to happen is that with the development of living standard, Chinese people become more supportive of their government. It has shown again only sanction works: make people suffer, then they will overthrown your enemy.
various replies mention java.time and the similarity Temporal has to it, so I'm posting a comparison I did a while back: https://widdindustries.com/ecma-temporal-vs-java-time/
All fine and dandy but you do see the irony of a Canadian showing American problems with legislation affecting broadBand speeds right? Canada has one of the shittiest broadband scenes of any developed country! And it probably ties directly to the systemic problems Canada faces, just like the US and every other country does. No place is heaven, only that most developed countries put in sufficient social nets before the internet came so they're more livable than the US.
I love HK, and I have friends in HK. What I've heard is very different - most protesting has been peaceful, sometimes turning violent after actions by the police or a few anarchist types on the fringes (and let's be honest, there's a good chance these are often working under instruction of the secure apparatuses). They also vehemently deny any kind of racism against mainlanders - people are against the new security laws and restrictions on personal freedoms, nothing else.
Are there any countries or communities that currently use "old English" as their native language?
But they could have lowered taxes by that amount. The argument here seems to amount to scoring one over political opponents by mis-framing the situation. Money is being taxed and spent on broadband. The fact that the opponents of that plan can be made to look ridiculous with rhetorical tricks isn't really a factor in deciding what is happening.

If the tax dollars aren't necessary & the vision is profitable, why does it need to be municipal? Can't these people just start their own company? Something here seems a bit weird.
At this point I think big tech is very interested in regulation to suppress possible future competitors. They have the resources to shape policy with large legal departments and so they will probably leverage that advantage.

This is an unpopular opinion by now, but I think the problems we see is that users voluntarily subject themselves to larger companies, mainly with sharing data. I don't think big tech influences my opinion aside from nurturing reactionary anger perhaps.

I don't see any competent policy maker at the horizon to be honest.

MS probably made a lot of cash with FUD and the introduction with GDPR laws. Perhaps they want to repeat that?
>It completely contradicts the survival of the fittest notion (here in the context of work).

It doesn't because working gets you even more money. The contradiction lies in the idea of taxing work to pay for it.
Picard is great except for one thing - its performance doesn't scale linearly with the number of files in your library. If you point it at a large library, it slows to an unusable crawl.

I don't see why the scan rate should change with the number of files in your library - it really should be fixed.
I'm not in a position to make a comparison, but I think a big drawback of cycles is it's very noisy. It's one of those things where you maybe get an OK looking render in 30s, but it takes >5m to get a render that's actually noise free. Which is workable for still frames, but painful for animation.
Just bought a new radiator from Rock Auto. I think it was like 3 clicks to drill down to the part. I just tried your method and was blown away. After I entered the year and make, and was halfway into typing the model, it autocompleted all the way to my trim level and I resumed typing "radia" where it suggested all the relevant things. Hitting enter, I watched it navigate the tree on the left.

Small delights like that are worth serious money.

I love sites that have such a structured categorization of their items. McMaster-Carr is the gold standard IMO, and RockAuto is pretty close.
One thing the whales did teach us is that at certain depths one can transmit low frequency sounds over thousands of miles. Unfortunately the navy's low frequency active sonar is also extremely dangerous and will either kill or fatally injure anything that gets caught within a few hundred miles of the sound blast, including whales. So thanks whales; also sorry whales. : (
The context just suggests the author has no idea what they are doing.

That's not how any electronics engineer would label schematic and it is clearly wrong way to do it.

Typically there is voltage reference selected and marked somewhere on the schematic. By tradition, if you don't mark it, it defaults to negative battery terminal. The rest of voltages would be understood in comparison to the reference point.

More complex circuits might need multiple reference points. For example, a PSU converting from 230V AC to 12V DC will need at least two reference points.
Did anybody tried to generalize IO_URING a bit further with something like language interoperability - platform specific swift/kotlin/objective-c/javascript with closer to the metal languages like c/rust/c++ for instance?

Let's say we have 2 main threads, one for platform language (we can't change that) and one for native language. Both of these threads share submission and completion queue buffers - so let's say Swift thread could submit to Rust thread what would be better suited for Rust and Rust could submit to Swift what had to be done in Swift. Just like in IO_URING - application thread (Rust) submits what has to be done in kernel (Swift) and perhaps the other way around too. Same for Android and Web. Of course sharing memory could be done also on other data like UI elements tree etc.

I tried to test that, but gave up once I was getting some weird out of memory errors in Xcode when tried to start threads from rust side of things. Xcode debugger could step into rust code amazingly though.

I'm really just guessing and have pretty much no experience in something like language interop, but I can't stop thinking it would be a good way to go. So, do you think IO_URING type abstraction could be a good approach to doing cross-platform development in general?
Fortunately, the person who asked the question is here (me), and it’s cool :)

What got removed from my original was effectively “could a human even hear this in principle?”, with my thoughts at the time being “or would you require an gravitational wave intensity so great that the energy of the gravitational waves would be enough to spontaneously collapse into a black hole?”

400 AU from a (stellar mass) black hole-neutron star merger isn’t going to be that intense, and is therefore implicitly gives me my answer (even if the environment itself would be deadly for other reasons).
The other comments make good points, but here's a few more:

> 1. Long running workflows - there do not seem to be popular frameworks like camunda, jbpm, temporal or cadence for elixir

Oban seems good for job processing. Otherwise Elixir builds on Erlang's OTP. That means you can also use ets, mnesia, or even Rick's distributed dynamo application runners.

> 2. Integration libraries - similar to apache camel

Nothing quite like this, but you can make use of Flow or GenStage for data pipelines.

> 3. Inbuilt scripting engines to run user scripts like nashorn, graaljs or groovy

There's a nice Lua implementation 'Luerl' IIRC. Also as others mentioned you can do a NIF. In particular Rust & Rustler would provide lots of scripting language runtime.
I completely understand this. Being an open-source software developer, I've constantly had to deliver technical talks in front of crowds of experienced, seasoned professionals at various conferences, of up to 300 people in size. And although I went through the same panicky experience in the first years of doing this, I developed several techniques that have helped me grow into actually embracing and longing for these talks:

* "growth slides": challenge yourself to deliver a slide that scares you, but which is actually a great idea! Examples: a fun, refreshing introductory story to break the ice, including your SO in the "about me" section and sneaking in the fact that you love them, a clever joke-slide at a random point that is SURELY a good idea, etc.

* writing down the difficult parts of the talk: a bit time-consuming, but writing down the exact content of the more challenging segments of the talk will help cool you off. Especially important if English is not your first language, as in my case.

* "box breathing": a US Navy breathing technique that I would perform for 10 minutes leading into the presentation, stabilizing my breathing, brain and emotions.
I am kind of fascinated how people without computers end up at a coding school. Are they paying to attend?

That said, I have an elitebook 8470p and assuming they have ssds and enough ram, they should be fine considering the situation. If the 8460p is like the 8470p, the CPU is even a socketed one, so there's room for upgrades too, assuming they aren't already maxed out. Learning to make do with older, limited hardware can be a very educational and even enlightening experience.
Advice as I see it is a bit of a risky affair because (assuming you do want to actually listen to it and implement it) you kind of give up on a situation and would like to be steered in a certain direction because you feel you cannot make the right decision at the moment.

I am well-intentioned but I don't know your life, your upbringing, nor am I empath / telepath and thus I don't know how do you feel inside. Hence, me giving you an advice assumes a lot of context that applies to myself only and not to you. So if you follow my advice you will likely end up in a situation that I can deal with. But will it be a situation that you can deal with?

Example: I am one of those people who can deal with meetings and people quite fine BUT I get tired of it and there's an upper limit to it, and surpassing that limit renders me literally useless for the next several hours. Thus, I could give people advice of the kind "you feel your job requirements are not clear and that's stressing you out -- go chat with your team lead, your colleagues, then your manager, it will help you have a peace of mind". Good advice, right? But some people can't be in a meeting more than 20 minutes a day before they need to retreat back into their shell and thus this person could have one small meeting but have no strength for the next ones. What's worse: from the perspective of the more outgoing people they started a good initiative but never pursued it to completion.

So I'd say that in this hypothetical situation I actually gave them a bad advice while still having only good intentions.

(A better advice in the above situation would be for this person to have a very quick voice/video chat with their manager and tell them they feel the requirements towards them aren't clear and that they would like to receive a document / Wiki outlining those in clear language. This avoids the additional meetings.)

---

TL;DR: Advice, even when given with the best of intentions, misses a lot of context. The receiver of the advice has to carefully weigh this factor; it's OK to reject an otherwise excellent advice if it doesn't apply to you one way or another. And sadly there's also the aspect of people blindly accepting your advice and then blaming you for the consequences.
Having sold Klein bottles from my website for 20 years and from Amazon from 4 or 5 years, here's my experience:

- it's way more fun through my Kleinbottle website. I've customized my checkout to what I sell. When there's a problem, it's easier to contact a buyer.

- I can show any amount of information on my website; Amazon has 5 bullet points and 1000 characters of description. This, of course, cuts both ways - a quick logical summary helps many people. Long, wordy websites (ahem) can be a problem.

- Amazon provides security that you'll get what they've ordered. Buying through my website, well, some people are scared off by its primitive style and mathematical humor. (well, attempted humor).

- My credit card processor takes a < 3% haircut. With Amazon, it's 12% plus $40/month.

- My customers are my friends. Likely, I'll meet them at a seminar, colloquium, or if they visit the East Bay. I hope they'll remember me by the good service that I try to provide. This tends to be easier when I handle an order through my website.
> Our ability to discuss things like adults is under threat.

Our ability to discuss things like adults has been under threat for a shockingly long while now, and only been getting worse. This is partly due to such a large portion of society being unable to discuss things like adults without lapsing into political "Us vs Them"-ism nearly instantly.

On a related note; Why exactly is it that such a large portion of the discussion here tends toward actual adult conversation? Is it purely because of the specific type of crowd this platform attracts? Is there any lesson that could be learned by the larger platforms from this to improve their services in this regard?
That isn't a Copilot bug though, it was typed by a person.
And what percent of the population do you think supports a $10/gallon gasoline tax? Just to bring things back into reality, we have "strong opposition to a 15 cent gas tax increase"
https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2019/11/06/poll-shows-s...

2/3 of Americans oppose increasing gas taxes
https://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/gas-tax-poll-090412

which leads to political realities such as "Democrats have turned solidly against gas taxes" in 2021
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/559063-democrats-have-tur...

Meanwhile, we have people fantasizing about banning things and massive gas tax increases, but the only way to make that politically popular is to ban only in the distant future and to avoid fuel tax increases.

Seriously, what's popular is more research and support for cheaper alternatives. There is a consensus around that, and only around that. Anyone outside that consensus is in a small minority.
Dumb? Who did you think owned these companies that the work gets contracted out to?

"Shrink government" shouldnt be taken at face value.

I really like Pop_OS, my nvidia card just works and my steam games were easy to setup. I can even play Fifa through Origin which I setup with Lutris.

I once had steam working fine in ubuntu, but that was after hours of installing stuff and rebooting to see if it worked. This was especially for getting my GPU to work properly. With Pop it just works.
>RenderMan XPU™
Pixar’s solution for CPU + GPU rendering uses heterogeneous computing resources to accelerate production path-tracing. Starting from a system architecture that can leverage the latest developments in many-core CPU and GPU hardware, separately or in combination, RenderMan XPU™ is being built to handle the scale and complexity of Pixar’s feature animation projects. Its first use in the studio has been focused on detailed look-development tasks, with more roles and capabilities to come.

>RenderMan XPU is only available to commercial customers of RenderMan.

>For GPU acceleration, RenderMan XPU™ supports NVIDIA graphics cards from the Quadro, Tesla or Data Center GPU ranges, with the Maxwell architecture or later.

Go XPU is Nvidia only. Not really surprised as I assume no one uses AMD in those production environment. But I wonder how hard would it be to port to something like Metal or Apple Silicon.

Every log management product I have used I hated it with a fiery passion. NTO
Thanks for your suggestions.

I think the main problem is actually the lack of an SSD. Opening programs, files and compiling takes just forever.

I showed this to my boss but he just thinks it's not a big deal.
When I was a PhD candidate, I was teaching directly what I was doing research on to bachelor and master students. So did my professor.

The research absolutely impacts teaching to a great extent. We are only humans after all, and I don't have a separate brain for teaching and for research. If you separate your best researchers in research institutes, you're going to seriously limit the flow of knowledge to your bachelor and master students. And those students are your future researchers.
Easier conditions means privatization of something and gift wrap it to the Chinese. It’s the same loan shark tactics the IMF uses to privatize things like water:

https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2007/aug/16/imf.interna...
I think you either misread what I wrote. The relevance is the that such activities have been driving up the tuition costs, so attending or not, they've a cost on the student.

Usually this extra cost is not explicit, though, as nowadays most students have to get a loan to attend university. This wasn't always the case.

I understand. Btw, what do you think about MoonZoon? (https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon) In special, the decision to not use Elm architecture. I see it's created by the current Seed maintainer.

It appears MoonZoon uses https://github.com/Pauan/rust-dominator which, like Sycamore, is also a DOM library that doesn't use vdom.
