This is insane, I can't imagine how much work went into it.

I had a similar idea as a kid, I was pissed at all the bloat consuming my cpu and ram on windows so I wanted to build my own os that would run a single app taking advantage of 100% of the hardware. I learned some assembly and managed to create a bootable floppy disk, then quickly gave up, realizing how much work a functioning os would take...
Yep. Sorry for transposing a few letters. It’s a tremendously beautiful and friendly place. I’d love to go back one of these days.
I hear there's a lot of things "called operating systems" out there; nearly every computer seems to be running one. Couldn't one somehow run applications on those?
Honestly, this stuff bothers me so much. I’m now subconsciously nervous about clicking the wrong thing and missing the thing I wanted.
This is very cool! Love the "everything is a tab" approach and default icon theme!
This. If I can't meet a reminder when it's due, I set a new reminder that instant for the next available time. This has made me a bullet proof meeting handler, someone that 'remembers everything'. The only problem with iPhone is that reminders don't make noise if there is already an active reminder, so you have to get rid of them as they arrive.

I was sort of forced out of that identity by COVID lockdown and domestic imperatives. I used to be proud of how many cans I could pound in a session before I got kicked out of a bar. Now, if I or anyone else do that, it's a huge pain in the ass.

I still don't trust people that have never been drunks, though. There's something about the forceful rejection of social norms involved in becoming an alcoholic that I find resonates with me. It's akin to the punk ethos. The problem definitely is when people mistake being a drunk dickhead with being punk.
My daily driver is that old.

It was also built by GM.

In the last four weeks a lot that holds about 2,000 cars has often been filled with Vegas that had to be taken back into the plant for repair work before they could be shipped to dealers.

That sentence from the article alone demonstrates the huge difference between that and Tesla's response. GM actually cared about these problems and tried to fix them, instead of just letting faulty products reach customers and attempting to deny responsibility.

It also wasn't "GM forgetting pads on 4000 cars". They acted on one report, recalled ~4000, and only ~20-30 were actually affected: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29951540
I don’t know if “side hassles” was intentional or not, but it’s genius either way.
The article uses Da Vinci and Musk as examples, and they had some success.

There are various degrees of clear. You might be surprised by how much scrub can grow there between clearances. Also the grade of the land can change quite abruptly. It's not like a railroad right of way where the grade is very limited. There can be significant ravines between pylons. The powerlines don't care because they're up above it all anyway. Pipelines likely have better paths but I suspect those are monitored more closely than power lines.
Not only was it simply published as an op-ed but Scientific American's editor-in-chief publicly praised this piece on Twitter, calling it insightful, and retweeted the author and another tweet praising it. So unfortunately we can expect Sci Am to continue on this downward trajectory.

No comments on the writing, but one thing to add: the syntax highlights for code get lost a bit. I would see them better either if they were a lighter black (aka dark grey), or had a different background than the rest of the text.
Sorry about that, you're right, I'm a bit all over the place. I brought up the movie as a real example of regular folks being able to win contracts like this, but not sure I trust the movie for the finer details how it was done, etc.
Curious, is porting complex C++ projects to arm64 just a matter of updating build/CI systems or does it actually involve changing core code and adding branches if (x64) {} ... if (arm64) {}.
Envy enforced discipline in a way, which helped a lot. Sure, the devs could have had that discipline with filed out classes but because envy made sharing code easier, they inherited that process as well.
> In fact I really didn't want to want a Tesla as I'm no fan at all of the company for reasons like the OP. Tested all the competitors. But they're just legitimately good cars.

That's exactly where I am. I want to go electric. I didn't like Tesla/Musk for all the obvious reasons. I test drove every electric car I could get my hands on. I decided to test drive a Tesla just for completeness. They gave me a Model Y overnight. It was amazing. I ordered one. I hope it has all its parts. Seems like a coin flip. We'll see how I feel this time next year.

Clojure has basically this in Hiccup, far and away the best HTML templating experience I have ever had. You don't mix in code with HTML, you just write your code exactly as you normally would. It's a fantastic coding experience, and really really made me wish for something similar in Elixir.

I came here to call out that quote. Apparently this is the author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_McLemore

Only half of the story is Scientific American going downhill. The other half is that social activism creeping into science. A professor and researcher, regardless of if they're a social activist, shouldn't disparage statistics like that. It's also troubling that she either 1) understands statistics that poorly or 2) twists the meaning to make a point.
Debian: Rethink about who we are in rapid dev cycle of deep learning
Similar experience with a local jeweler high up in the church. Employees would have to sit with a coworker and stare at each for like 20 minutes or something. This in the early 2000's.

In 2019 the place was raided and the owner Leo Hamel and a San Diego sheriff's captain and two others were arrested for running a gun trafficking ring after a raid by the FBI turned up over 200 firearms and 100,000 round of ammunition in the jewelry shop that the police officer was giving him.[0]

This constantly-in-hysterics tone is why people find it tiresome to try to understand crypto advocates. Cool - you like your new technology. That’s great. I’ve been in the same boat with countless things and I know what it’s like.

But if you respond to perfectly reasonable and polite questions about its use cases by screaming “you’re just asking these mean questions because you’re jealous!”, then it doesn’t exactly help the impression that the cryptocurrency market are predominantly driven by speculators hoping they’ll get rich like a handful of early fans did.

This saddens me, because I’ve long been a fan of digital cash and its promise. I hope Bitcoin or suchlike can fix its serious flaws and become a viable means of exchange. I’ll cheer any cryptocurrency which seems to be seriously trying to do that. But, respectfully, people like you are what I hate about the modern crypto scene: tribalistic, loudmouthed, unthinking, and obsessed with the pipe dream of getting rich off the next round of buyers, rather than improving our world.

Then 24, 48, 72, 96 hours passed and not a word from the people who authorize the monoclonal antibody treatment. Each passing day was emotional agony because the therapy loses effectiveness as time passes between infection and infusion. Even a call saying “we have 50 people ahead of your mom so her treatment won’t be for three days” would have been understandable.

If (indeed) blockages and stonewalling behaviors are like these are commonplace then ... this is starting to sound a lot like what a system collapse looks like.

The thing about chili peppers is that they're not healthy (have medicinal benefits) in the way peppercorn and long pepper do. Capsaicin can be harmful in large quantities, IIUC.

There are South Indian foods and snacks like venpongal and methu vadai that use whole peppercorn, not chili peppers. Tomato is another colonialism byproduct, but there are still people who make versions that use lemons instead of tomatoes. A common homemade drink for sick people is made from grinding dried ginger, coriander seeds, and black pepper. These are all daily foods. But you're right, few households or restaurants are 100% free of these 400 year old import crops.

Obviously, chili pepper is used where peppercorn or ground black pepper used to be, for the reasons in the parent comment. It also makes sense that black pepper would have been used in various dishes because it enhances the potency of the medicinal properties of turmeric by an order of magnitude. It wouldn't be hard to go back to black pepper, I imagine, with a little retooling of recipes to rebalance flavors.
I've cooked (professionally) on both coil and induction, both low-end (sub $2,000) and high-end ($12,000+, e.g. Wolf, Fisher & Paykel, Gaggenau and that obscure European brand that's now all the rage) ranges. With fancy pans and cheap dollar store shit.

Give me gas, every time. Especially when stir frying or flambe-ing or working on the hibachi grill or teppan grill or grilling.

An electric oven is "okay" except for the heat/cool cycle which frankly is just annoying when baking bread.

I got to use an electric salamander once, and that was a huge disappointment. Nothing matches gas for flexibility and control and unassisted convection heat transfer. When I turn the pan on the side to get more heat there for braising, I get more there, right _there_, not over there, not over here, not all around, right there.

The other thing with a gas range, when I'm pulling a 500F pan out of the oven and dropping it on the range, or dragging 30lb of hot liquid in a stock pot across the top, I'm not worried about damaging anything except my back. I don't need $5,000+ of hardware in my kitchen being taken out of commission because someone was slightly careless.
The Plank scale is very tiny and we are a long way from being able to see near that level.
Roughly 0% of a typical desktop’s disk space is used by hardlinked files. You can safely double count them. That’s exactly what every disk space analyzer does!

If you really wanna avoid double counting, just divide the size of every file by st_nlink. Of course you’d have to update the cached sizes of every directory that has a link to that inode so you’d need to cache the mapping from inodes to paths too. Another solution is to cache 2 sizes per directory, one for all files with 1 link and another for files that have 2 or more. The UI could hide the latter when it’s 0GB. But this discussion is academic; Nobody really cares about hardlinks.

The headline is actually misleading. It's just that neither Egypt nor Sudan can claim it without giving up the claim to Hala'ib Triangle.

CloudFlare's stock price changes are related to narratives from the past 2 years rapidly fading, like the retail investing world finally learning what a CDN did right at the start of COVID, and expectations of the interest rate environment shifting. AFAIK there has been no material news to justify what's happening to its stock recently, other than many large players rushing to exit extremely crowded trades they all had in common.

There is currently a widespread fear that quantitative tightening could arrive very rapidly, with disastrous effects on high multiplier tech stocks and other debt-fuelled businesses. They've all been getting hammered in uniform since at least December.
The title is elusive; that doesn't make it an emergent behavior, with the term AI, implying some sort of intelligence.

The fox is programmed to run away from the player, very simple state machine. It happens to navigate the navmesh like the player and eventually will end up leading places the player didn't think of going containing secrets.

It's not emerging intelligence as much as it is murphy's law.

Heh... That supports TFA's point (if taken broadly as "old tech was better tech") in yet another way: Harking back to the famous Technology Connections YouTube video, the best toaster ever was conceived sometime in the 1940s or 50s.

I remember my dad’s subscription when I was a kid in 1970’s. It was more like a scientific journal back then. It is not even worth looking at anymore.
The late Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard Feynman famously told an interviewer that his strategy for minimizing committee work was to do it really poorly so that people would eventually stop asking him for help.

"To do the kind of real good physics work, you do need absolutely solid lengths of time. When you’re putting ideas together which are vague and hard to remember … it needs a lot of concentration—solid time to think. If you’ve got a job administrating anything, say, then you don’t have the solid time. So I have invented another myth for myself—that I’m irresponsible. “I am actively irresponsible,” I tell everybody. “I don’t do anything.” If anybody asks me to be on a committee to take care of admissions … “No! I’m irresponsible. … I don’t give a damn about the students!” Of course I give a damn about the students, but I know that somebody else’ll do it! … because I like to do physics, and I want to see if I can still do it. I am selfish, okay? I want to do my physics."
I dont believe this at all. When I think of all the code I work on, most of it is complex logic about what needs to happen in the real world. i.e. if this user has x objects in their cart, and is a rewards member, go get this data if in india else from here. All of that logic has to go somewhere. I do think things like distruted systems, auto scaling, recomndations etc will go away. But the rest is just logic, whether you code it or put it in a config file, it still needs to be done
A similar thread could be the proliferation of literature meant to help identify and condemn witches with the invention of the printing press, which greatly influenced the witch hunt moral panic that followed.

In contrast, telephones don't amplify messages in the same way, and radio had the drawback of being temporary since broadcasts couldn't easily be recorded and distributed like pamphlets and books.

That makes my regulatory capture spidey senses tingle in several different ways.
In the 70s I was an avid SciAm reader. I loved the monthly "Amateur Scientist" column, "conducted" by C. L. Stong. Lots of detailed technical info about how to make a seismometer, a nitrogen laser, an electron microscope, antibubbles, etc. etc. etc.

I have the Amateur Scientist 3.0 CD-ROM, including columns from 1928 to 2001, and I just pulled out an October 1974 column, "Electrostatic Motors Are Powered By Electric Field of the Earth". I remember reading it at the time and noticing that one motor diagram had a commutator drawn so that it shorted the supply for half of the rotation. I wrote a (probably precocious and annoying) letter to C. L. Stong alerting him of the problem, signing it as "Dan Griscom, Age 12". Mr. Stong wrote back, confirming that I was right, and signing it as "C. L. Stong, Age 72". (Still have the letter...)

And yes: the magazine has gone downhill.
It's not an accident at all. I'm sure some sites are moving content around to make it likely you'll click on an ad. Other forms of click fraud are rife:

This site has ads that cover the content

and when you try to close them you will frequently click on the ad instead of the tiny close button. Back in the day the Scientologists would have reported him for click fraud but today they are a shadow of the terror they once were.

The original article is unspeakably bad, a shameful incoherent diatribe from an apparently professional academic. Not least because it is bizarrely self-obsessed, the author cites her own research in a complete non sequitur and links to a lecture where she apparently asked Craig Venter a question…
A lot of domain-specific publications have become insufferably political; they are trading on their previous reputations but are now so ideological that they're basically worthless. A few that come to mind are Wired, MIT Technology Review, Vanity Fair, and Rolling Stone.
This is hyperscript you are unhappy with, not htmx. You can (and probably should) use javascript for this sort of thing.

htmx is a straight forward extension to HTML as a hypermedia, facilitating more functionality within the original hypermedia model of the web. A good pure htmx example would be active search:

https://htmx.org/examples/active-search/

This is purely declarative htmx that enables a UI pattern that most developers would assume requires that they write javascript.

Of course there are going to be situations when a purely hypermedia-based solution isn't going to work and you will need client-side scripting. VanillaJS works fine for many of these (htmx has an extensive event model for you to hook into.) A lot of people like AlpineJS, which is a great library. And, if you are adventurous, you can give hyperscript a try for these needs.

But that shouldn't be confused with htmx, which provides a lot of functionality out of the box as purely hypermedia-oriented extension to HTML.

As an aside, with VanillaJS you can't simply use an "on" attribute for non-DOM events, which is why people like solutions like Alpine or hyperscript, which offer general event handling inline on elements.

> The antarctic treaty is supposed to prohibit nation states from claiming pieces of it as sovereign territory, but those negotiations from the 1950s/1960s didn't really envision modern billionaires doing such things independently.

You've actually got the same exact problem with the Outer Space Treaty. It only prohibits countries from claiming sovereignty over outer space or any celestial body.

I don't think it's anything unique to the "TikTok era". It has always been like that, as long as I can remember. Decades ago was the same.

My guess is that the primary challenges are

a) finding a subject that happens to exactly fit the 60-minute time slot without requiring grievous cuts or padding. I imagine it is hard to know this in advance. I notice, for instance, the bigger, famous theatrical documentaries don't exactly have a uniform run-length.

b) production costs. Sure, you could fly around the world to interview another 4 experts and get another 3-hours of footage (that you cut down to 15-minutes) and have a graphics artist who charges $1,000/day generate more models ... or you could just recycle and pad with cheap filler to reach your run-time. After all, you were only given a budget of $X,000 to make a 60-minute documentary.
>inductions jobs will use duty cycling (pulse width modulation if we’re getting technical). But that doesn’t determine responsiveness.

It absolutely does when the pulses are on the order of ten seconds long, as in many electric ranges. But yes, the thermal mass of the heated coil/cooktop are also a major factor.
