My guess is this is mainly from the native json support. If you are using lsp, fast json will be a necessity.

But the external processes is fixed with better use of async calls to other processes and tighter sentinel functions. Right?

As a general rule, fruits and vegetables don’t taste good in the U.S, compared to countries like India. They last much longer here though.

I don’t know the reason, but I can speculate - too many chemicals probably? Every time I am in India, I pig out. Yet, I rarely put on weight. I eat way less (like 50% less) in the U.S, and put on weight easily unless I am super careful.

This is not to say all foods are awesome in India of course. But there is something not right about the quality of food here. Everything seems to be optimized for shelf life, profit, looks and taste, rather than nutrition.

A single mango in my town costs $2.79, it has zero smell and tastes like cardboard. But it doesn’t go bad even after ten days, on the kitchen counter (I mean, outside the refrigerator).
Yode (the POC 4 years before) itself only worked with a (JavaScript) AST to create seditors. Tree-sitter would have helped here to provide an AST for different programming languages uniformly directly in NeoVim. Yode-Nvim is more powerful than the first version because it operates on lines to create seditors. In this respect Tree-sitter doesn't matter for Yode-Nvim. If someone uses Tree-sitter to select code in visual mode, he can easily create seditors for code objects like functions. This is also possible without Tree-sitter, but you have to select the function yourself.

Rationalization means to find a respectable explanation for some choice or behavior when acknowledging the true motivation would make you feel bad. Its irrelevant if the choice turns out better or not.

The problem is that by finding an alternative explanation which is more in line with who they want to be, or what society finds acceptable, their ability to recognize what drives them, and predict their own behavior, becomes worse.
It's a shame there are not very many devices working in audio range (sub 100khz).
You still have to scout eBay for a device from the 80s-90s and they are still expensive as hell.
There appears to be a certain irony in how, in your rather sanctimonious posts here, you seem to have generally failed to act in accordance with the very principles that you accuse me of violating.
What the frequency range means in vector network analyzers is that the device is capable of generating a pure tone up to 4 GHz or so, and it's internal transmission lines and parts are spec'd to not be too lossy up there. A VNA generates a pure signal of a known power, puts it out the port 1 and looks how much of that power (at that freq) is reflected back by the device attached to that port (and how much makes it to port 2 (vs frequency) if it's a two port device).

It is not doing any sampling or receiving really. And concepts like instantaneous bandwidth don't matter much.
Perfect example of a brilliant thinker who needs to be contained. It's great to begin with ways of thinking like he does; but his love for secrets make him dangerous; people like him do more harm than good to the world because they're very bad at the whole "don't tear a fence down until you know why it was put up" thing.
> electricity usage has an upper limit of $37m per day

I don't see how you compute such an upper limit given that it depends on the transactions fees. You're talking about the profitability if miners don't mine any transaction, and maybe this used to be a reasonable approximation, but as the block reward halves it will become less and less accurate. The profitability limit can be just as arbitrarily high as the transaction fees.

> We are getting money that is unforgeable, uninflatable, irreversible, uncensorable

The article convincingly argues that it's not irreversible nor uncensorable given that it's centralized, and that any similar permissionless blockchain would tend towards such a centralization.

> capable of millions of transactions per second

Are you saying that the 14 cents a month would cover the transaction fees? That's not the case right now with way less transactions, I don't see how that will ever be the case if the number of transactions increase to this number.
How AI Is Changing Chemical Discovery
The problem with systemd isn't the modernization, it's the utterly ungrokkable bloat caused by not making a clean break from many old customs. Countless .ini files splayed across /lib/systemd and /etc/systemd with symlinks setting additional properties? It (ab)uses the filesystem to create the illusion of being able to grok it with standard file manipulation tools, despite that being impossible.

The general concept needs little more than a single dependency graph, and yet they've created like 3+. Services are enabled/disabled by a separate graph of Wants/WantedBy, plus a whole bunch of ad-hoc look-them-up-every-time PartOf/ReloadPropagatedFrom/etc. It's like they did the brainstorming design phase, but never did the design optimization bit where you try to simplify the model.

Much of the pain of systemd goes away under NixOS, with the functional/exit (as contrasted with mutable/voice) thing of hiding all the tedious stateful complexity behind persistent objects, and leaving you with just an overly ugly config format. But then you've got to ask why the systemd designers couldn't have created that interface in the first place! One file per service config and one (conceptual) top level file for the dependency graph! Then the traditional distros could manage the complexity of needing to reference every possible service package with their usual include .d schemes, and anybody breaking from that could just augment or fork the toplevel config as usual.
The story timelines largely predate the availability of cell phones, but Rowling was quite specific about when it is set, with exact dates mentioned for key points in the story:

It seems to be hype and speculation in its purest form. Pure as in having no actual utility. Reminds me of things like high frequency trading. Just expensive computation that extracts value and distracts people. With the difference that high frequency trading is less inherently dumb and feels more like an exploit rather than a scheme.

A digital file isn't scarce. I can make as many copies as I want.
> Sometimes, our sense-making machinery has a glitch too. Many years ago, a McKinsey study concluded that nobody in the developing world would buy smartphones because they were too expensive. Based on that study, they held off on launching a smartphone for another three years. Around that time, an anthropologist who had recently returned from Chinese refugee camps saw how people would sacrifice half their disposable income just to own an iPhone. Though Nokia had an internet-enabled phone with a color touchscreen display and a high-resolution camera in 2004, the executives held off on launching a smartphone for another three years. Between the peak of their mobile dominance and their sale of the mobile division in 2013, Nokia’s value fell by almost $250 billion.

The first half of that paragraph is misplaced; "they" int the 3rd sentence doesn't refer to anything, as Nokia is only mentioned later in the paragraph. This would benefit from a bit of proofreading. (Edited; the first version referred incorrectly to the "2nd" sentence instead of the 3rd.

> I recently had dinner with Peter Thiel (...) the contents of our conversation will remain private

The whole purpose of the article seems to be to brag about having dinner with Mr Thiel.

It doesn't discuss anything else and offers nothing except banalities about the Bible, Jesus (speaking in Parables) and Rene (sic) Girard, a French author who was ridiculed in France for his obsessions and circular thinking, but enjoyed some kind of cult following in the US, apparently.
Yeah, this happened to one of our sites, and we resolved it by making a blog we post to every couple of months. We get basically zero sales through the actual blog posts.

It's probably their AI just sensing an abnormal signal because of the huge spike in traffic your sent their way.

How to Skate a 10k
Splits are not based on content, but are controlled by a layout algorithm. For horizontal splits, for example, the size changes every time you create a new one. Yode-Nvim is based on the size of the seditors and enlarges/reduces them automatically. There are more layouting algorithms planned and they can be different for each tab, the code is already set up for that.
Thank you for confirming my biases :-)
Writing Functionally Pure Code
For a short period of time, I've worked for a company that was writing software for Slot Machines. The mathematics was quite interesting, but somehow my morality compass kicked in,and I've decided to quit after 6 months. I couldn't do it.
The main difference is fruits and vegetables in the US are bred for storage and transport, and not for flavor.

This is starting to swing back, with people appreciating flavor, but this will require people to accept that there are seasons to fruits and vegetables, which is hard when you're used to year-round supply. But if you want a tomato in January or an apple in June, those just aren't going to taste as good.
That's pretty much what I'd know about it, too. IIRC its supposed purpose was to fix distortion on CRT displays caused by, uhm, probably something magnetically related. Exactly the level of "knowing" where I'd feel ambivalent.

Pretty telling that the first instinct of the video poster was to ask about cutting the incident.

Even the most cherry-picked, edited-more-than-a-Michael-Bay-blockbuster videos recorded by fanboys on bright, dry days with at most medium traffic still make everyone go "This entire industry should be regulated to death asap".
Look to the subgenres of science fiction called "hard" and "high concept".

In hard sf, scientific plausibility is a major desideratum - Andy Weir's The Martian is a widely known recent example, with the entire story built on a foundation of entirely plausible near-future space engineering. (It's also a somewhat rare example in which this focus on feasibility does not come at the cost of characterization.)

In the related but distinct high-concept sf, the story is designed around a given concept such as "what if humans became telepathic?" or "what if FTL communication was possible but FTL travel was not?", and serves to explore the consequences of this idea in great detail. Unlike hard sf, the concept doesn't have to be plausible, but like it, one often encounters stories where the concept outweighs the characters. I think Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time is a good example here, outdoing the reputation of its field by using its concept to tell a compelling and beautiful story that also happens to be about giant sapient jumping spiders.
> Why would it be quackery? This is a pain point that my family faced. My brothers cerebral palsy was an unforeseen circumstance due to a near drowning accident. The odds of that happening are unpredictable, but it did happen and my family wished as a result that we had cord blood stem cells.

Do you have any evidence that the treatment would have cured your brother? Wishing for a miracle treatment is something anyone with a child or sibling would do. That doesn't mean it would have done anything.

Do you have stats on the number of such incidents that occur annually and how many of them may be solved with such a treatment? Wouldn't that be part of your market analysis?

Do you have stats on the number of people who would not be able to get the same treatment from a public bank? The ones that offer this service for free and add it to a general pool for anybody that it could benefit. The bi-racial angle is interesting and maybe that changes the statistics, but without real numbers it's more hand waving quackery.

Do you currently or plan to ever provide kickbacks, either directly or indirectly, to doctors to promote or advertise your services? That's a massive conflict of interest and the coord blood industry is particularly dirty: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cord-blood-banking-...

I have a very dim view of medical services that are directly advertised to consumers. This type of "product" simply preys on the fears of parents-to-be by pitching it as either a cure for some statistically insignificant risk, or even worse, a "theoretical" cure for unknown diseases that might be developed from it in the future.

And any industry that compensates medical providers to promote its services is inherently corrupt as it's violating the sanctity of the relationship between a doctor and patient.

> Annualized rate of 370 goes for 8 years but covers 20 years of storage. Others with 125/year - at the end of 20 years - amounts to more

Based on what math are you cheaper? Your offering is clearly more expensive.

At an interest rate of 0%, the total expenditure is 8 x $370 = $2960 v.s. 20 x $125 = $2500.

At an interest rate of 4%, the net present value (NPV) is $2491 v.s. $1698.

At an interest rate of 7%, the net present value (NPV) is $2209 v.s. $1324.

At an interest rate of 10%, the net present value (NPV) is $1973 v.s. $1064.

In every situation the competitor is less expensive. The higher the interest rate, the larger the discrepancy.

Plus your prices being front loaded means that customers lose the option of canceling after the 8th year. All the money has already paid. It's worse in every way.
I usually use SSEs for personal projects because they are way more simple than WebSockets (not that those aren't also simple) and most of the time my web apps just need to listen for something coming from the server and not bidirectional communication.
I'm probably one of them. Sometimes when I'm very bored I spend some minutes watching the ads from foreign channels. Every country does them slightly different.

Intel to Enter Bitcoin Mining Market with Energy-Efficient Hardware
Intel insists the effort won’t put a strain energy supplies or deprive consumers of chips. The goal is to create the most energy-efficient blockchain mining equipment on the planet, it says.

In addition, the company is avoiding the term mining. Instead, Intel is using the phrase "blockchain accelerators."
And the original question says:

>Was it a snazzy little all in one number, or a hideous boxy thing?

Which would also say something about the character.
That happens sometimes, but just like the talk OP posted, it requires imagining the coal plants and ignoring all the other operations more applicable to what I described

Although relaunched coal operations or weak electrical grids is what makes the news, the other energy use is just a much greater opportunity for miners and much more prevalent already in use and scale.

I think anti-POW vigilantes actually have a role in making sure it stays that way because there is a real threat, but it requires then acknowledging that it already happens that way, but since people are searching for ways to be anti-POW instead of looking for energy uses that were worse before POW moved in, it is an ironic way to lose this battle.
So do I understand correctly that when using SSE, the login cookie of the user is not automatically sent with the SSE request like it is with all normal HTTP requests? And I have to redo auth somehow?
I have a pretty similar system, except instead of pen and paper and 'symbols', it's "folder with files with custom icons" (a process made extremely easy with Total Commander on Android).

It works like a charm, and can be synced with Dropbox for access from all relevant devices. In theory you can go nuts with it and even create scripts when things change in dropbox, but I haven't seen the need for that.

It is true, however, that there is something about having a piece of paper in front of you that still beats having to physically grab your phone to check stuff (and obviously I don't have devices to spare in order to waste one of them as a glorified picture-frame so that it's in front of me all the time). Which means I've often found myself jotting down notes on paper anyway. So Analog does seem interesting in that regard ...
Or if Discord decides storing unlimited history isn't something they want to provide to everyone for free anymore.
> WASM shares more ideas with CIL than the JVM [..] In WASM the memory management strategy is up to the application.

That level of difference doesn't matter. The point is that WASM is a portable and sandboxed target (like JVM) which is (or will be) faster, more secure (e.g. capability based security in WASI) and with more language support (strictly more when optional GC becomes a thing) and other differences are implementation details.
Thanks for sharing your experience. So it really looks like Amazon expects a blog-like page.
A lot of tropical fruit is uninteresting in the USA: bananas, pineapple, mangoes etc have little flavor and typically one variety is available at most. I sometimes have 50 year old memories in dreams of eating fresh fruit and they are so different in form and flavor I wonder if they are hallucinations.

But as you point out, they require a climate unavailable on the continent so have to be harvested unripe and transported a long distance. I should be amazed they exist at all.

This supply chain aspect operates both ways: pineapples are grown in Hawaii and shipped to the mainland; as a result the only pineapples I’ve ever eaten there are the big flavorless ones sold all around the country. Hopefully the small flavor-packed ones are still grown locally and just provided to locals.

It’s not just tropical foods either. Everything from tomatoes, melons, and grains to chickens and turkeys have been selected and modified for the needs of the supply chain. Although flavor, texture, and, I understand even nutrition has suffered, the net result is that there is a lot less hunger, so I have to consider it a net positive.

My hope is that widespread automation and cheap clean energy will allow more local production and make “small batch” varietals cheaper. And in such a world, instead of indiscriminately pouring herbicides and pesticides to protect the productive crops' robot labor can pluck the weeds and bugs individually from the crops which should improve the quality of the result.
These time lapse videos are an incredible tool to teach kids about plant growth. It was really hard for me at school to visualise plants as living beings and their "life" was always an abstract concept.

The channel has some more interesting videos. I wish someone did videos to demonstrate phototropism, hydrotropism etc. It would be much cooler to have those videos around, which could be used to explain such concepts to kids.
> people like him do more harm than good to the world because they're very bad at the whole "don't tear a fence down until you know why it was put up" thing.

Quite wrong. The article mentions that Thiel is anti-consensus - to him, 100% agreement with no real space for debate (on an issue with any amount of inherent complexity) is inherently fishy. This means that trying to figure out why the fence might be there is an especially worthwhile "search for secrets". And once you've done that work, you might end up tearing that fence down after all - or perhaps not.
Americans are poor compared to who? Europeans?

Funny how when I encounter (mostly upper middle class) Europeans that have been to the US almost all of them mention being blown away by our high quality of life.

But what about our “poor”? The US has significant social
safety nets which provide free housing, food, healthcare, cell phones, internet, etc.

Given our non homogenous population, percentage of non-productive people, and diverse, expansive geography I would say our system is doing one hell of a good job for our citizens.

But yea, sure. Keep pushing the cool kid woke narrative of: “America poor, America bad”.
Flutter is built on top of Skia, and Dart AOT produces compact, fast native code. Dart only has a small runtime, it's memory usage is measured in megabytes. Chromium need gigabytes of memory and a powerful mobile or desktop processor. Dart can run on IoT devices like a fridge or thermostat. You can use Flutter in cheap infotainment systems.
I’m a huge fan of SSE. In the first chapter of my book Fullstack Node.js I use it for the real-time chat example because it requires almost zero setup. I’ve also been using SSE on https://rambly.app to handle all the WebRTC signaling so that clients can find new peers. Works great.

I thought the Nokia story was a pretty bad example because it’s not like they got everything else down perfectly.
The motility of plants is fascinating. The growth patterns of the leaves, for example, are utterly mesmerizing. I have a thicket bean plant that raises and lowers its leaves in response to changes in light levels. The motion is too slow to see normally but with a time lapse video it becomes visible, and you can see that the plant "flaps" its leaves.

Time scaling (slower or faster) is almost like an additional sense, in a way similar to micro- and tele-scopes, eh?

What do you mean by Tesla giving Elon? What did I miss?
It's pointless because Neuralink solves literally none of mankind's problems (like in "our life sucks mightily without that thing") that would warrant someone, let alone someone from a different species, dying in any shape or form. Not even mentioning that those devices would primarily serve us approaching the most grim cyberpunk dystopia ever.

The description also hints that those surgeries were botched as fuck. Likely because who would care, it's just a monkey after all. I'd expect higher standards, and here they seem to have no standards at all. This is really the "forgot a meter of gauze inside someone's skull" level of botching things, I thought we'd left those in the early XX century.
I wonder if this is the reason the GP has such luck with it. From the linked Wikipedia article:
