Question: who decided Moldova [1] was a good idea? Was Obsidian.kp taken?

I find pandora recommendations to be absolute garbage and HEAVILY weighted to certain local maxima, typically favoring mainstream songs. A few that invariably came up for me that I remember and didn't block:

What we have now is essentially feudalism except instead of titles (king, queen, prince, duke, earl, knight, bishop, ...) everyone is assigned some numbers (net worth, salary). The numbers of lower ranking people are decided by higher ranking people and can be overruled only by even higher ranking people. Instead of rank being determined based on proximity to the king, it is determined based on proximity to politicians and the money printers.

All narratives about the self-made founder are complete BS. There is no meritocracy at all. That's why privilege is such a big topic nowadays except where the narrative is wrong is that it's not only about race. It's about proximity to the politicians and the money printers. Proximity to the centers of power is the only thing that counts. Successful entrepreneurs are not value creators, they are not contributors to society, they're just glorified courtesans whom, with the approval of their masters, are granted bigger numbers in exchange for loyalty and compliance. Value creation is a thing of the past. It does not get rewarded anymore.

The entrepreneur of 50 years ago has nothing to do with the modern entrepreneur. They are completely different. The system we have today is feudalism but it markets itself as capitalism in order to onboard people.

There is no free market. Central banks and their courtesans pump money into the system to decide all the prices from the top down. They can point the printer in any direction and that's where the entire global economy will go.
Yeah, I often hate doctors myself. Doesn't mean the majority are bad.
Probably confused it with Good Friday, another big day on the Catholic calendar.
That’s really really unfair. So first west fucked up our symbol and now west won’t educate itself about the actual symbol? Swastik is such an ingrained part of my culture and religion, can’t just give it up.
We keep a pantry full of pretty much all the non-perishables we'd need. We buy in bulk, and order more when we run low. We also have a couple freezers full of meat, which we fill as we or our neighbors harvest livestock, and we add a deer or two in hunting season. Then we see what is ready to come out of the gardens, what we gather in our woods and our fields, what we get from our local CSA. We freeze, can, or dehydrate any fruits and veggies that we aren't going to eat right away.

So our weekly prep is mostly just filling in gaps - we run to the store when we realize we need some cheese or something like that.

So I guess the answer is that weekly meal prep isn't really a concern if you set up your life to just have the raw ingredients always available and know how to cook from scratch.
md = markdown
I think you’ll be hard pressed to find an Irish person who’d be offended at this… I thought it was a great read (as an Irish person).
> md = markdown

Makes sense. Is (EDIT: the use of the TLD) .md a convention in the markdown community?
You could check out supabase.io, lately they seem to me like the perfect kickstarting framework for rapid development.
In theory it could inform programs like messengers to behave battery friendly. In practice I don't think that is implemented.
.md is the markdown file extension, so having a .md TLD is a clever and amusing idea imo as Obsidian is, after all, a markdown editor.

I hope the asutute reader is recognizing the classical Western European thinker mentality of "in going through this particular contextual situation where a variety of forces have conspired to create a situation. From my limited view and biasing heavily on observations from a limited sample pool, I derive conclusions broadly applicable to all of humanity across all time."

This is not to say Bonhoeffer was a fool nor to completely disregard his words, but to derive essentially that" all humans are stupid in groups " because you're living through the rise of Nazism is one frame, and is not necessarily self-evidently valid. Until culture became the cesspool of the mid-10s, we had a lot of good analytical evidence for Wisdom of the Crowds, I. E. Wikipedia, PageRank, etc.

There is a lot of battery storage projects in the pipeline now, about 20GW. They are mass producable, modular, can be containerised and built very quickly. And we need to scale up battery production anyway for electric cars. If humanity had a tech tree batteries would be a major branch. It is definitely worth pursuing and is not a zero-sum games with nuclear. And the costs have been dropping already quite a bit. It even has the potential to help cover unpredictable nuclear plant downtime.

Unless you can wave a magic wand and make alternative sources of energy sufficiently cheaper (or make people sufficiently richer, two sides of the same coin really) people are going to heat with wood where that is economically favorable.
I agree. Correcting the frame rate jitter and also motion stabilization (in addition to upscaling the resolution), really does result in a much more engaging view into the past.

I'm perfectly happy without colorization, but also willing to overlook it.
I know. I just wanted to emphasize on Zoom being the only thing that makes an otherwise perfect computer not powerful enough (for me of course).
Apple music isn't run by a profit motivated public company?
No, they have no specific vscode-extension. That would kinda defeat the whole purpose of it. But there are a bunch of markdown-extension doing more or less similar things. But IMHO a dedicated app serves the purpose better so far. VS Code is good, as an editor. But it's not (yet) an app-platform.
I have switched to Obsidian and I use multiple vaults for multiple purposes.

One is for work, one is for personal projects and notes.

One for Books and Movies I watched or want to watch.

And one for Zettelkasten[0].

Obsidian is extremely customizable and user-friendly. And to make things even better, which is a must for many people including me, it saves the files as .md in the local storage.

You can even sync it among n devices for free using Box, Sync, Mega, OneDrive, Dropbox or whatever floats your boat.

Just as a quick exercise, I spun up a fully functional Obsidian clone that runs in the browser that works locally, in four hours using React- just in case the company goes under in future. It works great.

That’s also a huge bias

They want to peddle headlines of people doing well playing the speculative economics game

Their article is simply to make it look attractive to keep playing, because of course their owners control a lot of the speculative economy

But please keep going everyone; all the tech stocks I have been buying since Apple at 6-10/share in the late 90s aren’t going to prop themselves up

> In order to fight monopoly, it was decided to introduce a maximum of money. A store could not earn more than a certain amount of money. The money that the store made more than the maximum went to charity.

When you can't earn more by working fairly then people start to work unfairly, meaning they start taking bribes or perform other corrupt acts. Current capitalism has problems but at least the system doesn't encourage corruption. Some people will still be corrupt, of course, and some companies will work like a communist state and limit income for its workers encouraging those workers to become corrupt, but corruption will always be way worse when you put national caps on income like this.
It was commonly stated (or claimed) that they didn't know how to add generics without sacrificing both compilation time and runtime performance [1]. To my knowledge they ultimately didn't choose a particular implementation strategy and instead chose a design that allows multiple strategies as needed.

>the idea of working day and night to earn "a lot more" feels like game theory.

Yeah because it is a prisoners dilemma type situation. If everyone starts working harder but people don't start consuming harder there is less work to be done which consolidates work to the hardest working members without actually helping the overall economy.

The economy wants 10 cars (aggregate demand), 10 people build 10 cars, 5 decide to build them twice as fast which means 10 cars are being built which means the last 5 don't have to work but they also didn't get paid and cannot afford the 5 extra cars which means aggregate demand is now 5 cars and some of the hard workers also get fired. If everyone built one car then nobody would be worse off.

The Case for File Cabinets
https://archive.ph/nvlSK
There’s a hype phase like this every ten years or so since the 70s or earlier that VR is going to revolutionize the world. It’s not going to happen this time either.

What’s really sad about this time, though, is that the Metaverse name comes from a dystopian sci-fi novel in which people retreat to a VR world because the real world is such a miserable place where corporations and organized crime runs the world.

Instead of embracing that, maybe we should be striving to avoid that state of affairs.

How come "now"?

Commercial JDKs have been a fact of life since around 2000.

In fact, for a very long time, those commercial implementations were the only ones offering production quality AOT compilers and JIT caches for Java.

The JIT caches that now exist as free beer on Hotspot and J9, come from J/Rockit and Websphere Real Time respectively.

Also if you want a GC with real time guarantees for embedded software, PTC and Aicas are pretty much the ones to go to.

Joplin is my choice too. I deplore the complicated codebase, unfortunately. I would have made the changes to get better linking, at least in a personal fork, but I could not find the time to commit myself to it.
My biggest protip for Obsidian would be to never look at the connections graph. If you've got any kind of "completionist" mindset, it's easy to waste a bunch of time trying to perfectly format your notes so every node has a bunch of connections to other nodes. Once I got out of the habit trying to maximize the amount of backlinks in each note, it became a useful tool instead of a chore.
Well let's go back to the statement you made a few comments ago

> Money is a proxy for power. Has a better alternative proxy to power been demonstrated to exist?

Here the a man with no possessions suddenly has power, and the richest most powerful man in the world struggles to exert power.

> it requires keys to be ordered (i.e. there must be a function that can tell whether one key is less than, greater than, or equal to another)

It doesn't, you can order by hash value. However, it's a separate question on whether the hash value is stored with each item or not.

> You quoted me wrong

I'm sorry, you're right about that, and yes, I don't know how good other approaches would have done it for me.

> However you cannot say with confidence what the future retention rate will be

At the time I studied, I stopped doing Japanese whatsoever, so retention dropped as it should. But I think if I have continued reading texts, I would have retained the meanings of kanji, just like it works with other languages I managed to stick with.

You have a fair point, I think we could conclude that both methods have its odds and cons and it's up to each to decide if they want to use it, so long as no rigid testing is provided, as you say.
Rob was opposing generics from the start. People were pointing out the need more than a decade ago, but he was firmly saying no. Now he left the team.
> I feel like I am solving problems in C++ the way that I want to, I guess, in a very opinionated way. And I don't like to compromise on the design.

Me too! I'm glad that Rust has managed to champion extensive static analysis forward, but at the same time it's clear that rustc can prove only a proper subset of correct programs correct. I don't like the idea of being restricted to a subset of correct programs. The philosophy of C++ is to allow anything that could be correct, but you can still use tools to detect suspicious code. The difference is that you can ignore the false positives.
If you have to wear physical goggles or glasses, it's not going to happen apart from some very niche areas.

Anyone remember 3D films and TV? Apparently the real killer for that was that people didn't like sitting wearing glasses, and those who have to wear glasses all the time anyway couldn't take part.

So can we expect 4 year old kids to patiently wear an expensive VR headset to chat to granny? I doubt it. People can't even be bothered to turn their webcam on for meetings - they're certainly not going to bother putting on a VR headset and grabbing controllers for a 30 minute status update meeting.

That said, I am intrigued by using a VR headset for a virtual display (rather than monitors). In my limited experience of using VR stuff from 2 or 3 years ago the per-eye resolution sucks though and there is no pupil tracking so I can't imagine it being a great experience, but perhaps that is solved now?

It would be nice if when you skipped a song it would do a soft pop up or something to ask why you skipped it. You could ignore it most of the time but if you felt strongly about the recommendation then you could at least vent your frustration on the "I don't like this song" button.

I think the main issue here is, is that users feel a bit powerless to influence the algorithm with thier dislikes as much as thier likes. Even though a song skip may be functionally similar to the dislike button, the user has no "haptic feedback", for lack of better term, when they really feel the need to have their negative opinion on the song heard by the algorithm.

I think most people's gripes with the nature of these recommendation algorithms deciding things, centre around the feeling that the algorithm doesn't listen to them and their opinion as much as it obeys other overriding trends. Giving them tangible and tactile options to deliver their opinions in hard and fast way gives them some more peace of mind that the algorithm is working for them, and not for some other entity.

I imagine the answer here varies a lot by elo of the training corpus because skill effects the probability input. In the 500s, 3. Qh5 to scholar's mate is both potent and very probable. In the 1300s it's just a mistake. It would be really interesting to see the overlap between high and low elo traps.
Maybe you don't like your VR but I actually know more and more people who use their headsets and looking at the stores and forums and so on it seems like it's gaining real traction.

Less so for AR but Pokemon Go still has users an I see ARish features integrated by default into my default Samsung camera, and ARish stuff into meeting software, streamers etc. It's not super advanced yet but hardly dead and I wouldn't be convinced something big won't come out of it.

>My take: the Metaverse is the new chatbot.

I'm not a fan of most chatbots but they've been very successful, improving and you see more of them. An apt comparison even if made for the wrong reasons.
For a poorly insulated house, it's better to fix the insulation than to do lossy and expensive conversion to/from hydrogen, not to mention investment in storage or transport, when at the end of the day the expensive hydrogen will be mostly wasted due to lack of insulation (costing yet more of the expensive hydrogen).
What this really taught me is that you can use puppies to hack into people's minds and make them upvote stories.

Both, "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" and "What Do You Care What Other People Think?"
Go has taken over kuberbetes related stuff, that is all.

Although I like it being used for systems programming stuff like TinyGo on embedded or F-Secure TamaGo unikernel, that is hardly taking over the domain where C and C++ still rule, and will keep to do so for decades to come, despite the increasing usage of Rust on the domain.
>If we didn't create money we'd have deflation (prices would drop year on year).

Calling deflation a drop in prices is misleading in my opinion. What really is happening is that money gets more expensive. People then start speculating on money the same way they speculate on stocks, real estate or Bitcoin.

I had a look and https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/amd-ryzen-9_3900x-vs...

"AMD’s Ryzen 9 3900X also has the new Collaborative Power Performance Control 2 (CPPC2) feature, which manipulates Ryzen 3000's power states from within the operating system. This is similar to Intel's Speed Shift technology and reduces power state transition latency. Ultimately, that results in a more efficient processor during all facets of operation."

Though that seems to be about boosting clocks higher clocks when it can.

https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/smartshift

Again does seem to focus upon boosting performance

So no clear-cut stand-out answer, but does seem some level of OS interaction is required, I couldn't say with 100% certainty.

Yes, if you want to curate an entire playlist. Not everyone does. And if anyone has the enough data to generate these kinds of disparate playlists on their own with minimal user input/direction, it would be Spotify.
I believe this is actually a really great point. For instance, I didn't know that it was originally Brahmagupta who started using symbols in math. His initial use of symbols to represent numbers involved using color names like "blue" and "green".

More interestingly before using symbols as variables in math Egyptians were capable of doing Quadratic equations without these variables.

If I were teaching math today I would probably teach this. I would try to do algebra without using variables, and then I would use funny words like "blue" as Brahma Gupta use to. I think that this would probably stop a lot of the questions like "why are there letters in math!?"

I think Tidal gets better recommendations for me than Spotify used to as well (lots of smaller acts I'd never have come across on my own), although it's rather irritating how the labels keep yanking things from Tidal. I really like Tidal but I'm genuinely tempted to move away because of this problem.

What never seems to penetrate the skulls of the labels is that it's their shitehawk behaviour that drives piracy, not their customer's desire to freeload. This was as true in the '60s when the only good radio content in Britain came from ships in international waters (hence the name "piracy") as it was for things like Napster and remains true today.
Lying about the fact that you are making a startup to become rich is not the definition of a “good founder”.
As everyone else mentioned here, this article refers to full packages. With that said, there is no need to be a founder to get a huge chunk of $$$ - the first employees tend to do very well.
The path to success is finding these founders and company that will move the needle.
