These excerpts from the The Bed of Procrustes by Nassim Taleb resonated with me and I think it applies here.

“You will be civilized on the day you can spend a long period doing nothing, learning nothing, and improving nothing, without feeling the slightest amount of guilt.”

“They are born, then put in a box; they go home to live in a box; they study by ticking boxes; they go to what is called “work” in a box, where they sit in their cubicle box; they drive to the grocery store in a box to buy food in a box; they go to the gym in a box to sit in a box; they talk about thinking “outside the box”; and when they die they are put in a box. All boxes, Euclidian, geometrically smooth boxes.”

Make it easy to start, just try doing nothing for a while, it’s uncomfortable at first but the reset comes soon enough and is quite rewarding.

The bed of procrustes as a whole is also quite thought provoking and I would recommend checking it out.
It can (and often I'd guess) is both! The author of the book also apparently has ADHD (I suspect I have it too). I'd recommend going to a doc and starting out with CBT/DBT therapy and/or meds.
For me things started to get interesting once I set up CUA mode to have the same key shortcuts as in the usual Windows world (ctrl-C for copy, ctrl-V for paste and so on). Once I got that I was able to work on text file, programs etc. Then I slowly added packages (took months) as I was needing/discovering them. And now, what I like is that I can use the same configuration on Linxu and windows (I switch often between my work PC in my home PC). Org mode is really usefull although I just get the bare minimum. LSP makes a difference too. And the community is great: so much things happen all the time. The openness really makes a big difference. So in the end, I love it :-)

(and I don't like modal editors :-) )

While that is true, Germany is the economical powerhouse of the EU (and the fourth largest economy in the world). I think, these countries' GDPs combined are probably still smaller than Germany's. This gives Germany a special position here which is mainly why they're the center of attention here.
It's very close to a Sony IMX686, which would be really nice.
In the words of Terry A Davis: "scalability works both ways".
The only way to reduce exploitation among sex workers is to stop making consensual sex a crime. If you actually care at all about actually people, and not just about wishing we lived in a world that suits your specific morality, you support decriminalization of sex work. That is the only path towards reducing exploitation and protecting sex workers.
The notions of hardness for practical cryptography are a bit different than ones in complexity theory.

One difference is obviously the asymptotics. Just because something is in P (generally considered "easy" in complexity theory) does not mean it is feasible to compute - maybe the complexity is N^256 or even N^2 but with a huge constant.

OTOH even if we show that something is "harder than P", it does not mean it is infeasible to compute - strictly speaking P is only about deterministic complexity and worst case. So a problem where 99% instances are practically easy to compute can still be harder than P, yet too easy for crypto.
The arms race already exists: hash sizes and standard key sizes have increased. Because Moore's Law already applies to classical computers: you effectively lose 1 bit of entropy / security every year.
I disagree, I think the main problem is that people use the private company argument as a way to mask their emotion-based reasons for wanting someone deplatformed. My brain translates "it's a private company" into "we should not question the actions of private companies" because they're effectively the same. I'd much rather people just say "this is bad" than hide behind some bs free market argument.
I mean, idt that’s really fair. Apple purposefully makes the experience of communicating/texting with another Apple user more physically enjoyable than with a non-Apple user. I don’t think it’s a personal/shallow issue, when you’re behind a screen your brain isn’t making the same personal decisions as in person. I mean if the phone is making the experience poor compared to talking with other Apple users, it becomes unappealing to pursue more of that communication. Why power through that for a person you just met/are just dating?
> Is 2m the ideal height

I'm just under 2m and I can assure you: it is not.
This is receiving a lot of criticism that feels somewhat naive.

A terminal emulator with advanced features that are company/team aware and with collaboration features isn't a bad idea.

Product telemetry to understand in general terms how your software is being used so that you can focus efforts isn't a bad idea.

The problems with Warp are:

1. They are being vague about what telemetry they send, creating a risk that sensitive data flowing through the application may be included.

2. It can't be turned off, even temporarily. Under many computer security policies at companies this is going to prevent Warp from being used at all.

My suggestion would be:

- Remove the login requirement to use a fully local version of the application.

- Separate telemetry from service-backed smart features, allow each to be toggled individually.

- Make it clear that terminal text input/output is never shared, or be very specific about when it is so that users can understand the security risk.

- Don't associate telemetry with users or anonymise where possible.

Isn’t Kolmogorov Complexity hard to measure, because it depends on the language chosen?
I forced myself to use emacs for about 6 months coming from IDEs and vi(m) to get past the "this is unfamiliar" stage.

At the end of the day, it was a very nice text editor with a development environment embedded in it and the ability to tweak things to my work flows was certainly interesting. However, I never enjoyed the seemingly unintuitive default key bindings and I often found myself disappearing into rabbit holes and tweaking stuff just to make everything work more smoothly. Ultimately, I decided that was time I should have been spending on more productive pursuits.

To this day though, I don't regret giving emacs a spin and I still swap caps lock and ctrl on all my systems. Remapping that key binding is helpful for so many things outside of emacs.
Yes. To be fair all low value financial punishments are ethically reprehensible on this ground. They don’t dissuade anyone with money because the consequences are low or easy to appeal and people who are poor are punished harder. This ends up in a situation where punishment causes an even larger cultural divide or pushes people to other crime to make ends meet.
Let's assume a game where Alice and Bob are two military generals using One-Time Pads to encrypt a message and Mallory wants to confuse them.

Alice -> Encrypt("RETREAT", Pad[128:7])

You intercept this message and you're not sure if it means "RETREAT" or "ADVANCE". But contextually, you know it's one of the two, and you want to sew confusion.

Mallory -> XOR(Ciphertext, XOR("RETREAT", "ADVANCE")) -> Bob

And then Bob reads this message as the opposite of what Alice sent.

Bob -> Decrypt(Cipher2, Pad[128:7])

Thus, the lack of ciphertext integrity allowed Mallory to gain an advantage in her goal as an attacker to sew confusion between two generals. If Alice advances, Bob retreats, and vice versa.

It doesn't really matter, to this security game, if you learn anything about the key from the malleability. You chose the ciphertext, and thus you succeeded in dividing their military force.
The tech is fine. They want money, either by cutting corners, removing any / all risk, or data mining the hell out of anything they can.
Because it's a "growth & engagement" cancer that happens to have some terminal-like functionality with the end-game being to use said growth/engagement to solicit unreasonable amounts of VC funding, not an actual terminal for the purpose to help you get work done.
No i don't but there might be cases where such a license worked well however there are newer licenses i expect to work better.
If you decide not to go with funding and you don't get into YC? did you just kill your company?

If you decide to go with funding and you don't get into YC this time around. Would that give you more opportunity to show more traction in 6 months or a year?

Does getting funding help your odds of getting into YC? or raising money during demo day?

It seems like to me there's only one scenario where turning it down plays in your favor.
Billionaires in America.
Works for me. I spend an inordinate amount of time at the local Barnes & Noble and would be very sad if they followed the path of Borders and went belly-up. The cafe there is pretty much my "third place", the one place you will likely find me if I'm not at home or at my office. And I don't just sit in the cafe and leech free wifi, I buy a lot of physical books, magazines, etc. there (as well as cafe items). So yeah, definitely do not ever want to see B&N fold.
Elephant in the room here is inflation. Entry-level (particularly white-collar) salaries have consistently gone up. These consulting firms are now competing with big tech and well-funded startups for talent, and falling short on equity.

Esp for engineering, new grads will regularly make $150K+ in base plus equity: https://topstartups.io/startup-salary-equity-database/
I've experienced this a number of times and it's mostly frustrating. Recently though, we've had two customers come back to us after their "preferred" vendor failed to execute. So even if they have a competitor in mind, it's sometimes good to get in front of them regardless.
Obviously most devs will answer yes to this question. However, I don't think the implied conclusion (software devs copy each other, so the legal apparatus applied to software is okay doing so, too) is a valid one.

For one, this is hardware.

And second, even if this was software, that just reinforces the farce that is software patents -- another reason to add to the list of why patents on software shouldn't be a thing.
Easy to say, harder to do. I get anxiety just thinking about it.

What's the goal? You make it sound like I have an obligation to do it for some utilitarian reasons, while in reality maybe one or two previous customers would use it while migrating to something else. It's crap software with much better OSS alternatives already.

It either dies with me or dies as an abandoned repo I need to be ashamed of.
I totally agree.

> ADHD doesn't necessarily present as "hyperactive child" or the other stereotypes to which it often gets associated. Many people receive an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood after years of (more or less) successfully coping by employing organizational strategies.

That's pretty much been my case so far :') (though yet undiagnosed, only suspected).

It's not necessary to know that you have ADD/ADHD to tackle these issues, but it gives you a good idea of what's going on.
Looks interesting. Is it popular?
I don't think most of the people commenting here realize that the entire site loads just fine with Javascript disabled. Essentially this is HTML getting generated on the server.

The fact that it is in Deno rather than PHP, Ruby or Python is the point of the article.
> Who is this for, except dell? I don't see any reason why anyone would adopt this outside of dell.

Just because it's public doesn't mean it's public for a reason.

It's possible that this is just a deliverable from a design agency, put up on a domain to make it easily accessible, and that there's no need or easy ability to put it behind a login.
> Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to ...study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price.

As an individual, free software is valuable for a me if I can modify it at will, say at most with one month work and without having to learn arcane techniques. However this is not the case most of the time, so using free software not so different from using a proprietary system.

For example I type this on a Linux laptop, which is unable to enter a proper sleep mode even if it was possible on Linux 20 years ago. The fancy keyboard lights up its key every few minutes without clear reason. I am using the Chromium browser but it does not display correctly the non Western characters and when I make a right click, garbage appears.

How could I modify all this within a month time frame or even a few years? It's impossible.

The situation would not be different if I was using a proprietary system.
What did you do for marketing?
No, there were flaws with the implementation that kept many of us away. We all felt vindicated when Poyo, a sketchy character we all knew about from PredictIt, tried scamming people who bet on the outcome of the 2018 elections.
glid-3 is trained specifically on photographic-style images, and is a bit better at generalization compared to the latent diffusion model.

eg. prompt: half human half Eiffel tower. A human Eiffel tower hybrid (I get mostly normal Eiffel towers from LDM but some sensical results from glid-3)

glid-3 will be worse for things that require detailed recall, like a specific person.

With smaller models you kind of have to generate a lot of samples and pick out the best ones.
San Jose's malls are far more successful than its downtown. (San Jose has a range of malls, from high-end to strip malls with actual strippers.)

I don't know whether it's the business selection (a many of the customers will be San Jose state students), the crappy parking (which means that much of the rest of the customers are the relatively few not-students who live downtown and the lunch crowd, which are relatively few because there aren't that many jobs downtown), or what, but downtown SJ is never going to be what the redevelopment district has 100s of millions to try to make.

However, I am confident that they'll spend even more in the decades to come.
The egregious thing with Turo is that it even says "Total price" explicitly that doesn't match the daily price. And STILL tacks on more fees
I'm unsure how you rationalize calling the criticism naive, while at the same time 5 minutes later acknowledging and suggesting solutions for the exact same.
If there's no specific agreement for the code, then why would you give it to them?

There seems to be a lot of missing information here.
Is "mobilization" really the primary indicator of a totalitarian regime?

I think the root word "total" might be more indicative. When most aspects of a citizen's life are dominated by the party or the state, and alternative or competing non-state institutions don't exist, that's totalitarian.

Russia looks quite totalitarian according to that definition, with everything from local government to media, religion, business and cultural institutions tightly controlled by the the central clique of mafia-style oligarchs. Does any independent civil society exist in Russia?
Not always. Czech Republic has a higher GDP per person than Poland. Poland is much bigger and has sea access. Both countries had a similar starting point after USSR collapse.
I like having the freedom to use libre software, but also having the freedom to choose non-libre software, as the need arises.
Since a bunch of people are setting up a straw-man to criticize this post for "not just serving plain HTML" I'll share my opinions on this.

Almost nobody is going to use Deno to serve a basic HTML site with less than a dozen pages, they are going to use it to build a monolith application to get content from a database, or a service, then generate server-rendered pages, and also host an API from the same codebase, or something similar.

Setting up a monolith application means using something like Ruby-on-Rails, Django, Spring, ASP.net, or rolling your own with a Node.js backend serving a SSR front-end, or hydrating React views.

If you haven't experienced this already, you will come away with one of two conclusions.

1. Wow, this is so much fun, as long as I stay on the happy path of ... Rails ... Django ... ASP.net.

2. Wow, setting up all these moving parts really sucks' I'm mostly writing configuration files, and then Googling the error messages when I inevitably screw something up.

What I think Deno is trying to do is make the process of getting a server side rendered application with modern tooling running with minimal ceremony, while still enabling the developer to customize the system and build things that are not covered by the documentation guides. In addition, their solution is one that can be more easily hosted on edge servers than most other options out there.

I'm glad they are doing it, because it's a sorely lacking area of modern web development. They only other people who are taking this on in a meaningful way that I am aware of are Remix. I would be happy for there to be more entrants into this field.

Best of luck to everyone out there.

Well:

On November 12, 2009 AMD and Intel Corporation announced a comprehensive settlement agreement to end all outstanding legal disputes between the companies, including antitrust and patent cross license disputes. In addition to a payment of $1.25B that Intel made to AMD, Intel agreed to abide by an important set of ground rules that continue in effect until November 11, 2019.

Customers and Partners

With respect to customers and partners, Intel must not:*
[...]
Intentionally include design/engineering elements in its products that artificially impair the performance of any AMD microprocessor.

Massive salaries will exist so long as there are 10x and 100x workers and throwing more bodies at a bottleneck scales horribly. Given the normal curve holds for skill distributions companies who look for bulk cheap unicorns will always be disappointed.

Remember all of those failed multimillion dollar coding contracts? They were from factory style management trying to apply it to coding. Reality slapped the fools upside the head enough times via absolute fiascos. Even if we take conspiratorial economics as a given we already know how this will end. History indicates their hubris will bring themselves only ruin, just like the legacy rust belt manufacturers.

Also how the hell will programming tools used by programmers be used against them? That is a shallow appeal to horror. Even if machine learning became good enough to automate the low end of the programming market that would only raise their salaries even higher. It is not an easy machine learning problem to solve at all. Esoteric, obscure, and highly complex skills which can make businesses have never come cheaply.
Interesting, I'll look into it, thanks for sharing!

Stackblitz raises $7.9M for a development environment powered by WebAssembly
I think people would find ways to partially skirt the law using formulas.

There are some legitimate uses for formula pricing, e.g., rent a U-Haul with a per-mile cost, or a cell phone bill with a per GB data cost, or a per-user SAAS model.

I imagine a dark pattern for the "resort fee" might be a complicated formula described in words in size 6 font at the bottom of the page if you took the time to read the footnote.
Graphs can certainly be modelled as matrices over different kinds of scalars. But I'm not sure how relevant this is to your use case.

For computer work, I think there will be two category: Work with localized complexity (ie: draw an image of a horse with a crayon) and work with unbounded complexity (adding a button to VAT accounting after several meetings and reading on accounting rules).

For the first category, Dall-E 2 and Codex are promising but not there yet. It's not clear how long it'll take them to reach the point where you no longer need people. I'm guessing 2-4 years but the last bits can be the hardest.

As for the second category, we are not there yet. Self-driving cars/planes, and lots of other automation will be here and mature way before an AI can read and communicate through emails, understand project scope and then execute. Also lots of harmonization will have to take place in the information we exchange: emails, docs, chats, code, etc... That is, unless the browser is able to open a navigator and type an address.
For me, Rails' magic is the (now somewhat outdated) method names that were overusing `method_missing`.

Stuff like `Foo.find_by_bar`

When all you did was define a db table "foo" with a column "bar".

In the early days of Rails, that WAS magical! PHP certainly couldn't do that. I'm not sure how advanced Java's retrospection was in those days. But it seemed as though Ruby/Rails was the only (popular) language around at the time with that sort of trick up its sleeve.
Each vendor. Intel BLAS (MKL) has Intel-specific optimizations and AMD BLAS has AMD-specific optimizations.

Intel is still acting in bad faith by allowing MKL to run in crippled mode on AMD. They should either let it use all available instructions or make it refuse to run.
When talking about black and white images we take into account the full pallete of grayscale tones. For me free software is everything gray and above on the scale between pure freedom and closed.
This lines up very well with my recollection of the state of things circa 2011 when I evaluated the options for cross-platform push notifications and ended up recommending UA. I actually really _wanted_ to build the system in-house, because it seemed interesting, but I couldn't justify our tiny startup spending all that time that would be better spent on features our clients were asking for.

3) and 5) in particular were significant hurdles -- allowing UA to handle the API and TOS differences between Apple and Google was a major benefit. It wasn't just a matter of not wanting to implement it ourselves, but the risk of implementing it incorrectly and getting banned from the service.
Does anyone have any idea why this camera is limited to 1080p30 when playing video?

After all, 1080p30 is only 0.5Gbps, and with the CM4's 4 MIPI lanes at 1Gbps each, there's enough input bandwidth for 4k 60fps.
