The best tested so far happens to be the huawei matebook X and certain lenovo laptops

This guy does a lot of testing https://jcs.org/

I'd be really interested to hear if any arm64 or other RISC architecture laptops are useable! M1 is a step in that direction, it would be really surprising to me if it worked well beyond basic support yet however. Asahi linux took like over a year to get to that point but it sounds from reading that link that they're pretty gung ho on getting it working for 7.1 which is amazing to hear. It sounds like other hardware support in those laptops is the big thing.

Fun miscellaneous stuff: SMP on intel architecture is disabled on openbsd for security reasons, so looking at alternatives to make things go fast with guarantees for that is big right now.

It's interesting you say that because Hans Zimmer specifically said in an interview they tried their best to dodge the cliche' middle eastern musical tropes in this soundtrack. Perhaps they didn't go far enough for some people.

Part of the problem is that 80 bit operations were never designed to be a visible data type, you were expected to round to a 64 bit type at the end of a series of operations. There was never a good way of indicating to your compiler where and when those transitions would happen.
I read this question differently than other commenters. I think OP is asking if employees can use Google Search to search the internet like the rest of us, but they'd get decent results without the bloat.

It would make sense as it would be in the company's best interest that the employees be shown meaningful results when they're trying to solve problems. A completely different index/ranking algorithm that punishes, instead of rewarding, all the fake SEO crap.

Having said that, I have no idea.
The Stormlight Archive (series) by Brandon Sanderson has probably changed my life the most. I don't think I've enjoyed a book as much or have had one mean as much to me as I've have with this series.

The series is incredibly inspirational since despite being a high fantasy novel. In fear of spoiling the plot, I'm being vague: it tracks the stories of (multiple) people who go through difficult life situations and learn to heal from depressive moments while having incredibly, intricate worldbuilding (which is excellent for taking your mind off of reality) and a twisty plot. If you go on the subreddit for this series, r/stormlight_archive, you'll see people talking about how this book (literally) saved their lives. I can tell you that in the most off-putting moments of life reading inspirational scenes from the Stormlight Archive has helped me stand up again. The messages and themes about life are simple, but also on-point. Overall, an excellent series. I recommend it.
Trying to do too much in one large bid instead of splitting out to smaller companies doesn't help either.
Great game! The one "unfair" question I got was "Treppe Tiefgarage" which means "Stairs to the underground parking garage". Difficult to figure out how to filter these out in the general case.
The labs I've known have been happy diggers. I think it's gotta be something like direct wiring to their pleasure center.

My poodle loves to get his dig on at the beach. Really goes to town. To the point of exhaustion. Once he experienced sand, he stopped digging in our yard. I imagine it just wasn't as fun any more, comparatively.
Just last week I saw Daniel Dennet get asked by an interviewer whether he had a dog, and what it might like to be his dog, with the implication that Dennet's takes on animal consciousness tend to diminish the relevance of a dogs thoughts or emotions as lacking meaningful sapience and self awareness because of their lack of a complex verbalized langage. He said he has had dogs, but is mostly allergic, and has a robot dog of some sort now, which I thought was a complete dodge of the question, and even later in the interview, it was as though he hadn't really thought his language model of self and consciousness though. He's got a new book out, which I should probably read as he's likely more of a writer than an interview, but I heckled my screen most of the way though anyway.

If this study has more details, it would be interesting to see what consequences it has for other theories of mind.

BTW, the Tay example in the slides is bogus. Zero AI involved. You should ask what's cut off when you see a tweet reply like that. This is what's cut off: https://twitter.com/daviottenheimer/status/71288991553350041...

Tay had a 'repeat after me' feature (an ancient feature of any IRC chatbot to just echo or print a given string). That's all this is. A troll account issued the command 'Repeat after me' and then tweeted '@TayandYou HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG!', and the Tay daemon dutifully repeated it back to the troll in that thread.
Yes. Something to that effect.

Truth is a philosophical notion. It is not the concern of science.

I am aligned with model-dependent realism; or epistemic constructivism or thereabouts.

I’m fairly conflicted by this, because it’s fairly insightful, but it’s also probably overselling itself.

They expound quite hard on the idea that abstraction is inherently bad, and I feel this is a poor choice of words, and perhaps a mistake. Abstractions have cost. In many forms, and especially if the abstraction is a poor one.

However… they don’t seem to differentiate between good and bad abstractions. They seem to regard all abstraction as simply unnecessary, only used because our brains cannot deal with the entire problem at once.

I think you could make this argument to some degree but it breaks down when you start to see where abstraction is worth the cost. As an example, let’s say I’m writing a service that needs a key value store. If I make a simple abstraction for it, with well-defined properties for exactly how it should behave, how data consistency should work, etc. then implement multiple backends, this is a good abstraction. The reason for this is because software doesn’t have fixed requirements. Some users may be running a small instance of something on their desktop or a NAS or what have you, whereas others may be running software on gigantic clusters and would benefit from using clustered key value stores that are much more difficult to setup for valid, unchangeable reasons, even if we were to get rid of the abstraction and fully integrate a distributed key-value store right into our program.

Also, requirements change temporally. Clang could’ve implemented everything with no abstractions, but when Clang was created it targeted older and fewer versions of programming languages. The abstractions have cost, particularly when they are bad; but not having abstractions would’ve costed far more, IMO. Extending and reusing software that has little abstraction is very difficult because there’s very few reliable boundaries you can work off of. Adding a new operator in Clang is probably still hard, but I’m sure it would be harder if you carried forward all of the abstraction and folded it down instead. You need some kind of abstraction if you want cheap extensibility.

So my conclusion is basically, abstraction is not bad. Libraries are not bad. Engines are not bad. They simply have costs that are not accounted for properly, and may cost more than the value they provide in many cases. Intuitively, we know this; It’s basically the knee-jerk software engineers get when they get into a build-vs-buy discussion. You feel the jolt. The library has an amazing feature list, but something tells you it won’t be so easy. That’s the hidden cost right there.
Since the war I also noticed a fractal rabbit-hole flavor of the fog of war. You can be argued into oblivion because of past information. While trying to discuss with both camps I see incomplete arguments, referring to previous arguments, that refers to previous arguments. The current conflict being partly due to west/east tensions, birth of nato, cold war.. you can even go back to 1917 according to wikipedia. You can also read articles or books and may never be able to conclude anything [0]. I'm not sure it's coordinated fuzzing at the social level. Just say whatever and point fingers at "facts" so the other camp starts to wonder if there's something, meanwhile you keep doing what you do (invade).

Gas stoves get hot faster and respond quickly when you turn the dial, that's their big advantage. But electric is hotter. Even plain resistance coil electric elements put out much more heat than gas. Try to boil a pot of water on gas vs electric and it's no contest, electric wins.

And of course, modern induction electric elements are better in every way as long as you don't mind throwing out all your cheap alluminum pots

Curiously, the Prince of Wales was a big supporter of Alexander's ideas, and wrote a book about related themes. He's on the talking circuit these days, and it might be interesting for someone to ask him his thoughts on Alexander.
> They didn't choose to be with you and can't choose to leave, and you have the power of life and death over them.

This is an "interesting" mentality I see a lot. Ever dog I ever had was a stray and could leave if they wanted to. I don't really get people who think this way, but it seems really prevalent.
Climate change is natural.To much thoughtless advancement of western countries try to sell that idea to imitate the East which is evolving with what is termed as"climate Change" ..All are bunkum...Live with it and enjoy life.

this is an awesome idea!

only bit of feedback I have is that the street names may need some cleanup / filtering of some kind.

I picked a starting location in downtown Seattle (47.60882,-122.33087) and was told to locate "escalator"...it seems to have picked the escalator to the Pioneer Square light rail station as a "street" to be located.
Not to mention that the “S” in SOLID is closely related to what he is talking about here, namely that a software component ought to be related to only one specific source of changes – i.e. a box in an org chart – in order to minimize the risk of it being changed badly and consequently break something. This implies that you should have a connection between the org chart and the code, in order for the changes in the code over time to not constantly break the code.
Would you post something like "go-json is an go implementation of JavaScript Object Notation"? Or "Nginx is an Hypertext Transfer Protocol Server"? Please.... It is not that hard to search for "BGP" on the web.
With both Casey and Jon Blow I find that if I mentally prefix what they say with "When developing AAA games..." then they are almost always right. Much of it doesn't transfer far outside that domain.
So this change to the DNA exists naturally and occurs without the consent of those born with it?
This is a very common strategy for those who get easily overwhelmed with big things in life: declare that it’s meant to be that way so that you’re absolved of any sense of responsibility.

The problem is that declaring “I am but a passenger” is self defeating: it inevitably robs you of agency to do anything meaningful in life.
And surrender.
Once I installed fzf.fish[0], my command line experience was radically changed for the better. The goodness of fish’s command line with search ability from fzf and seeing context from bat. Great for searching your history, commit hashes, variable names, and just about everything else.

I think @cyberpunk is reacting to the complexity of zsh versus more traditional shells. For some value of traditional.

I look at zsh alias features and my head explodes a bit. The glob patterns can get so complex, they look like Perl or sendmail config strings.
> Nihilism then?”. The Bible unabashedly says “yes, if you don’t have God”

I am not trying to argue theology here, just giving another perspective.

I was raised an an observant Catholic household, and I went every week from ages 5-19 and missed only a few times due to illness. But I never believed, I just don't have a spiritual bone in my body. None of what you quoted from Solomon about the impermanence of our material acquisitions sounds profound -- it seems obvious.

But the main reason I'm commenting is this idea that non-believers must be nihilists [1]. I want to assure you that I find meaning and purpose in life, but it isn't dictated by some holy person. Pain and suffering and happiness are real and even though we are all reduced back to molecules when we die, what we do and how we act during out lives matters to the people (and wider world) around us during out lives and for a while after we die. I get the same impression from other non-believers. It is a colossal failure of imagination to think that without God people must believe nothing matters.

[1] This footnote is to acknowledge that different people have their own interpretations of what "nihilism" means, and so any statement I make about nihilism will result in some group of people saying "you don't even know what it means!"

Arguably this is his only motif.

It is useful outside of git, so I would suggest having both the git alias and the main command.
I'm curious, how did the book change your life? What kind of problems did the authors model using their approach? I'm new to the topic, thanks for any input.

> Pretty sure the result would have been different for us westerners being used to sleep in soft beds.

A couple of nights on a hard surface will get your body used to it. (Or at least, it did for me, when I rented an apartment where the previous occupant had outfitted the bed with a board to make it harder. I hurt all over after the first night. But I got used to it.)
You can't appreciate it without system mastery though.

How are you really paying attention to the work that was created if you don't learn its systems.

I generally just use `git gui` to make multiple commits by staging and then committing just the lines I want.
Please keep the main command too, since it is useful outside of git too, like when using the quilt patch system, or other VCSen like Mercurial.
Perhaps my biggest pet peeve. There is almost never a reason to do this.
It’s possible they’re just not for you, then. But why don’t you give Elden Ring a chance, if you haven’t already - changes have been made and maybe it will appeal. It’s a pretty amazing experience.

I guess just the last thing I would say is that one thing that ER tries to communicate to you early on is that, if something is frustrating you, don’t keep banging your head against a wall. Heed that advice: go away, explore, learn, come back later. With a new perspective it will look different.
I've found that the in-office crowd is the vocal, preachy group, always trying to convince people who are happier than ever that they are wrong. The in-office crowd are the ones trying to get everyone back to their way, rather than finding a new compromise.
I couldn't even find my street to start from. I think it's safe to say I don't know my local area.

Americans need a better voting system.

Real change is not meant to happen in the US system, unless it is pushed forward by the handful of very powerful special interests that hold the reigns, and that is by design.

Switch from FPTP to RCV or any other and the system will fix itself.

Sure, once you get an appointment. Last time I tried they were booked a month out. Then when I got there I forgot one piece of paper and another month before I could get the next appointment.

Bingo. The better ones will only accept scantags if you scan the "enter config mode" within 30 seconds after power-on, for instance. Or yes, a hidden button on the underside of the checklane.

That's rare though, and sometimes the installer disables it for convenience while they're debugging the system and never re-enables it. So the vast majority of scanners in the wild will happily accept an enter-config-mode at any time.
> No. I am saying leave truth/truthfulness to philosophers.

I think you mean scientists. I.e., construct an experiment validate, etc.

God model the least possible predictive power imaginable.

Also, according to philosophers, God must exist because it's a perfect being. And a perfect being must exist because it is perfect. They are like people left in a sensory deprivation tank hallucinating random patterns into a sensible picture.
Kingkiller moves the fantasy fiction genre past its LOTR-esque roots.

Every word is a joy to read. I haven't read anything else that brings as big a smile on my face. Kingkiller's literary qualities are head and shoulders above anything in fantasy fiction. Every word, every metaphor and every description is chosen with care, so as to convey the exact emotion that the author wants you to feel. I hope the final book comes out soon.

Kingkiller is eternally compared to Sanderson's books. But, to me they are completely different writers. Sanderson's books are written competently, but the fun is in the story and interweaving pieces. Sanderson embodies the ultimate refinement of fantasy fiction tropes to produce something that's faultless, yet traditional.

On the other hand, Rothfuss is crafting something that does not lend itself well to comparison. It is perfect, because it is what it is meant to be. In some ways, Kingkiller feels closer to Shakespeare than any contemporary fantasy fiction work.

I am inclined to refer to Rothfuss as the Einstein to Sanderson's Von Neumann. A more-apt but weeb-esque comparison would be Rothfuss's Berserk to Sanderson's FMAB.
It's important to compare translations and understand why they exist and where they differ. Books like "New Age Bible Versions" by G. A. Riplinger give insight into changes with modern versions like the NIV and NKJV that make deliberate alterations to the text. But even still, it's important to remeber that translations like the KJV has replaced words like "She'ol" and "Hades" with "hell", or even replacing the name of God with "God".

I personally find myself comparing the KJV with the original Greek as well as the pre-Challoner version of the Douay-Rheims when I want more insight into certain passages.

Commentaries also provide interesting insights. They typically cite the translations that were used as well so you can see how their conclusions were drawn
> I'm not sure I understand your confusion unless you are conflating the two?

And this is the whole point. This right here. Putin has made a very strong claim based on a kernel of truth. That kernel of truth is seized upon and amplified, which serves to amplify the original very strong yet fallacious claim.

- False Claim: Biolabs are being used by an American-supported Nazi regime to create a dangerous pathogen that will target Russians specifically with their DNA.

- Kernel of truth: Biolabs exist and have dangerous things in them. They are being funded by money that has Western sources.

- Laundered opinion: Biolabs are dangerous, we should do something about the biolabs.

- Amplified feedback: Everyone agrees the Nazi-run biolabs have deadly things in them! Here are western personalities that are also very concerned about the biolabs, so I think we're all in agreement. They are using these deadly things to produce WMDs that are going to kill us! We have to do something drastic to stop them from using these weapons against us!
It should surprise nobody that an authoritarian, centrally planned, and massively resource-rich country can perform infrastructure miracles. You don't have to stoop to conspiracy theories to understand this.
It’s common wisdom to say these projects were dubious. There’s no question they came with costs—-but would we rather not have the BQE, Cross Bronx Expressway, or Brooklyn Battery Tunnel? I don’t think we would. It’s easy to fantasize about public transit alternatives but even with Robert Moses NYC is a significant outlier in the US for public transit both in the city and in the region.
There are probably a couple good ways to avoid trying to split `git add -p` with e.g. jujutsu `jj`?
https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/git-comparis...

If CI isn't running tests for every PR, `git add -p` can create pretty patches that fail when attempting to `git bisect` later.

> Comprehensive support for rewriting history: Besides the usual rebase command, there's `jj describe` for editing the description (commit message) of an arbitrary commit. There's also `jj edit`, which lets you edit the changes in a commit without checking it out. To split a commit into two, use `jj split`. You can even move part of the changes in a commit to any other commit using `jj move`.
