Well, the problem I see is the following:

- Claim that Twitter is a private corporation and its their rules (Btw, you can check my history in 2020 where I did support purge of Trump from social media, but I am now comtemplating).

- But, anyone who starts a new platform (let's assume similar to r/conservative which is absolutely not neo-nazi or fascist), gets intense pushback from the existing incumbents not with market forces, but rather with censorship, algorithms, political and misinformation driven opposition.

So now we have public square that enjoys monopolistic powers (yes, government officials exclusively publishing on Twitter. Your tax money cannot buy a platform where you can listen to the constitutuents that you voted for), but also prevents incumbents from rising through political proxies that I mentioned earlier.

This is scary.
There's a certain type of person who loves buttons and knobs. They're also the same sort of person who might decide to make a new search engine. But yeah, more knobs is definitely not something the market is asking for.
FYI, most barcode readers just “type” the keys into the keyboard buffer or HID. You could literally just have a text input box (that honors enter key) to make it barcode enabled. Of course x-reference this info with something like the “what” database and you’d have great input.
>> Plans for a “gain” experiment (more energy out than in) are advancing at pace.

So the headline is very precise: they achieved fusion, but not power production using fusion. And as far as I can tell, achieving fusion is not the hard part.
I hope that's the reason. I've always said Twitter has unbelievably untapped potential that for whatever reason, its current management is unable or unwilling to realize. Over the years they've kept the platform stagnant at best or filled with user dark patterns at worst. Not to mention their hostility to the developer community.

Anything specific that isn't working for you? I've had great luck with it.

Apps force you into a single-threaded experience, which I dislike. Browsers have tabs, which I like.
Results like these, you mean? https://electrek.co/2022/03/16/tesla-employee-fired-sharing-...
Interesting. I recently installed jellyfin and have no issues streaming it to my chromecast. It works beautifully.
Most people don't want to tinker if they can avoid it, but many will come to appreciate the power of the advanced tab if and when they need it. These startups should take the "people are lazy" line of thinking to heart and make customization profiles easy to share, whether by direct link posted to Slack or a public customization "store" a la Chrome Web Store.
We ran into the same issue! We actually implemented a feature we joking call clown-car scrolling to handle this. If you want to steal the basics of it you can see it here: https://github.com/glideapps/glide-data-grid/blob/main/packa...

Feel free to steal and improve, we only enable the clown-car mode when the desired scrollable area is larger than what a browser can support. With our implementation scrolling is still handled by the browser, but the scroll location can be subtly recomputed as you go from time to time. We only do this when interacting with the scrollbar directly to avoid weird artifacts like scrolling feeling faster than normal.
I wrote this, happy for any feedback or to answer any question about the methodology or otherwise.

One thing note is that the headline difference between these instances types is the CPU architecture, the value offered by these instance types is as much about how many IOPS and how much SSD space EC2 chooses to offer for each family, especially for this IO-bound benchmark.

It is entirely plausible that EC2 will offer more hardware bang-for-buck on Graviton instances in an effort to encourage adoption so we can't necessarily draw a strong conclusion about the future of the Arm vs x86 battle on the server CPU front since Amazon is not an Arms-length entity here (pun intended).
There's a button to turn off the nags the menu. I don't think you even need to be signed-in.
The credential issuer is (in general) not in a position to make a determination whether the device is trustworthy or not. In an ideal world, I (the person responsible for the security of the device) would be able to ask the issuer to delegate that decision to me (which is what we want for a full ZTA experience), but in the absence of that it's legitimate for the issuer to assume that when the client asserts that a key was generated in hardware that it was telling the truth.
Unreal was already the best engine purely on being easy to work with, support from third party programs and community, none of those things can be said about CryEngine.
pnpm as well supports all three modes. But I think it is better to use Yarn for the PnP mode and pnpm for the symlinked mode.

Here is a feature comparison: https://pnpm.io/feature-comparison
VSCode collects stats and that's where all the proprietary code of your company is. As long as there is a kill switch, I feel this community is focusing too much on this.
So it should just be backported to npm to show that the authors are serious about backwards compatibility.
That's literally xkcd #927: let's make a standard that encompasses all previous standards, what can go wrong?

Now you have to maintain three different code paths, two of which depend on the behaviour of external projects, so you're always playing catch up.

That's such a bad idea on so many levels.
"Exploring the use of Iron" "Limited by Nickel"

"Limited by Nickel": This is just lithium ion battery storage, it is plainly obvious.

"Exploring the use of Iron": using LFP (which will be 200-230 wh/kg in production later this year)

"Added some sulphur": great, but you're wayyyy behind the current state of the art research in Li-S.

That cost is appropriate for maybe a day or two of storage. Months between seasons? That's ridiculous, even if we had a dirt-cheap 200 wh/kg sodium ion battery which COULD probably hit 6$/kg, unlike their unnamed/unspecified techs they are "looking into". Likely it is since every other battery buzzword was notched in this article.

The use case, providing more energy in the summer, is covered with solar + couple day grid storage and existing nuclear or gas turbine for load leveling.

What we need is to install as much wind and solar as possible to immediately eliminate coal, then add storage and more wind/solar as needed to start eating away at gas turbine. Nuclear should stick around for long-term load levelling until batteries become dirt dirt dirt cheap.

This article is so poorly written that it might as well be unintentional FUD.
There's a running joke about the Indy that it's the Indigo (its much-more-expensive brother) without the "go".
Could you elaborate? Today in western democracies we have literature addressing almost every imaginable condition and human activity. Certainly basic aspects of humanity such as sex which the victorians felt completely unable to contemplate.
And how is Redux science? And is it provenly correct?

Perhaps Abramov took discreet math class the first year… what is the invention or new theory in Redux?

Abramov didn’t write Facebook either. Actually Mark going to university was important for Facebook to take off.
Zizek, as usual, is saying something facile but with flowery language to make it seem insightful, but the idea that in order to understand his culture a man must leave it and view it from the outside, the same idea Zizek is sharing here (amid sniffs) is an idea that goes back at least as far as Buddhism, as it is present in the story of the youth of the Buddha.

Zizek is very ironically an ideologue himself (a "Hegelian" in his words) and as such his version of the story only contains half the lesson -- that culture, which he calls ideology because he seemingly refuses to truly understand what ideology is, lest admit he is an ideologue, can blind members of that culture to certain things, but without addressing that culture and ideology have positive aspects as well.

The man is a neverending font of faux insight and obscurantism posturing as wisdom and this quote is no different from any other.
I gathered that the point of the question is whether one would be able to distinguish between a power company drone and some random person flying in their back yard.
It is a lot because the platform is now so expansive. I mainly use it for my AI/DL projects and it took me about 6 months to get up to speed. There are many Youtube tutorials. It helps if you know how to use Blender and other DCC tools such as Houdini.
Just like how Putin would never invade.
You grossly overestimate how important HN is. Didn't Dropbox get beaten up on HN?
Raising the cost of spam would be a good first step.

At the moment, spamming Google seems to be trivial with no long-term penalties if you get caught doing something nasty.

A simple rule (manually enforced on a case-by-case basis) that would ban your brand/domain for a year if you get caught breaking the rules would get Pinterest into compliance from day 1 for example.

Using ads/analytics/affiliate links as a negative ranking signal would make a lot of blogspam/listicles/clickbait disappear if their only funding method immediately makes them rank much lower below where they are no longer profitable.
The hypocritical interpretation: He saw the opportunity for positive marketing for his company with only little investment.
And if you cut down every #ifdef in the code base, would you be able to stand in the winds that would blow then?

It's not just GNU make. Lots of GNU software is as you describe, because the GNU project took on the burden of abstracting the mess that was interoperating across many very different platforms -- many of which have far less capability than a modern or even decade-old x86-64 box -- and so became an internal reflection of that mess. It's not pleasant, I wish I could chuck autotools into the fucking sun, but it gets GNU going on a variety of exotic platforms that still run and are made more pleasant by the presence of GNU there. This effort is not helped by you going in and trying to yeet all the code you personally have decided is obsolete and gets in your way. GNU Make doesn't need such a "service", it's not "held back" by refusing it, and if you want a build tool that runs on and helps you build your little inner-platform effect without considering anything you personally deem irrelevant, write your own! Maybe start with Plan 9's mk as a base, it's tiny and comes from a somewhat similar philosophy.

Sheesh. Terry Davis believed he was important enough to be gangstalked by the CIA, and even he took a hobbyhorse, take-it-or-leave-it approach to TempleOS.
That's kind of the issue I have with those engines as a programmer not coming from games.

Is there any good engine made for programmers? A kind of "bootstrap" of video games?

It's more yesterday or never. Of course, scientists pointed it out then, with the same exact phrasing, to no public effect.
C# and .net 6 are not windows-centric.
I consistently rolled in at 9:30. Unless I was hungry for breakfast, then I'd probably start at 9:45.
Can you use darktable without the import step?

The place where I store my RAW files is not where I work on them - I'll typically copy them from a memory card to my machine, do whatever processing, then shift them away to storage, so I find the whole idea of a 'library' unecessary.
I also don't follow. I get that there is a halo effect around Musk's 'Iron-Man' persona.

Nevertheless, he is still a minority shareholder. How much power can he really have at board level?
It will still pay to put ads in to paying customer's feeds. It's more or less inevitable if the customers tolerate it. If you think that's impossible I'd point to how streaming services are now serving up ever more adds.
I have my personally owned media on Plex so this is natural progression for me--to use it as a hub.

I have been using Roku TVs for years and if they have this feature I'm not aware of it. I also have various TV's around the house that have different OSes and apps...Plex can simplify that cruft.
Well, the definition "awful for society" is fairly anecdotal, so my reply won't be able to be built upon hard facts.

But in my opinion, Elon Musk is a very smart man who not only sees, but has reaped massive value from Twitter. He is notable for tweeting misleading information to affect the stock price of his companies. These actions resulted in a lawsuit from the SEC in 2018.

The ripple effects of stock manipulation are hard to directly tie to the concept of "awful for society". But it certainly feels like when money is given one place, it is taken from another. When that transfer of money is based on misinformation, it creates pain. I personally am doubtful that the billionaire feels any of it, but someone else will.

I also don't believe that Musk has learned any lesson from the lawsuit either. He is currently trying to fight the tweet pre-approval stipulation in the courts. Putting a financial investment into the company to me personally, looks like someone who has found, or is looking for a loophole.
> If there are clearly better algorithms, why not refactor npm and add them in experimental flags to npm

While node_modules has many flaws, in the current ecosystem all modes have their own pros and cons, and there isn't a "clearly better" algorithm: node_modules has less friction, PnP is sounder, and pnpm's symlinks attempt to be kind of an in-between, offering half the benefits at half the "cost".

Like in many computer science things, it's tradeoffs all the way. Part of why Yarn implements all three.
I think you misunderstood the article - they're talking about the capacity of the battery in terms of kilowatt-hours, not its cost relative to round-trip efficiency. If the cost were $6/kwh, you could build a 100kwh battery for $600, and charge/discharge that many times. I think this is supposed to be interesting both for its relatively cheap materials (and useful level of energy density), and its ability to be 'frozen' in a room-temperature charged state for long periods of time without much loss of charge.
Warp engineer here. Really appreciate your ideas here!

> Warp's more visual completion is super welcome. Does it work with the shell's standard completion scripts?

It does not. But we have completions out of the box for 200 commands.

Warp's input is a text editor instead of the shell input. This means we ended up building completions by hand and soon, via the community. We think this is a better experience because we can provide more in-line documentation.

> Warp's blocks look like a nice step in the right direction. How do they work?

tldr; shell hooks

Most shells provide hooks for before the prompt is rendered (zsh calls this precmd) and before a command is executed (preexec). Using these hooks, we send a custom Device Control String (DCS) from the running session to Warp. Our DCS contains an encoded JSON string that includes metadata about the session that we want to render. Within Warp we can parse the DCS, deserialize the JSON, and create a new block within our data model.

Re: impersonation: that's a good concern we will consider.

> It'd be interesting to further extend blocks with some protocol that allows programs to output within their block using richer elements.

Absolutely! This is definitely in the roadmap. We want rich output like adjustable tables and images. We also want to support a protocol so other CLI programs can use it.

> Likewise, when launching alternate-screen terminal stuff, to allow them to do more with the rectangle than a grid of text.

Yes we are thinking of supporting blocks within tmux, for example.

> And at first glance, looks like it's missing tmux-like features (whether integration with tmux proper like iTerm has or its own thing).

Yes, other than split panes, we do not have tmux-like features. We've begun mocking out what those features could look like. We are thinking of a native window management solution and a native way of saving workspace/session templates.

We are also thinking of what a deeper integration with Tmux might look like.
Wow that brings back memories. What was that other one? Started with a J I think.
This tends to work for me as well but signal vs noise ratio has worsened over time. Despite Reddit's questionable decisions in the past years it still has useful information for all sorts of things.

Reddit's own search has become less reliable so I search via DDG like `<query> 'site:reddit.com'`, falling back to `!g <query> 'site:reddit.com'` if the former doesn't get me anywhere.
yes, Chromecast with Android/Google TV is all ads all the time on home screen it is rather unpleasant.

I agree 100% but for corporate usecases many would be slightly uncomfortable giving Google (or a competitor) access to all of those to search though
Other parts of the world have realized that this is impacting insects and birds and have started cutting down on light pollution.

Having used both - I also strongly prefer Jellyfin.

You get the whole service, open source, easy to run as a docker container or on K8s, love the web UI.
Some companies do use things like a mavic 2 pro for inspections, which consumers also purchase, there are no specific marking requirements (other than strobe if authorized for night operations) that a part 107 operated UAS would have that would be visible from the ground compared to the same hardware operated by a hobbyist.

If it's large and expensive the likelihood that it's some random person decreases, it's easy for a UAS with a thermal camera to be $8,000+.
Remember Google Desktop? I want Google Desktop back. (Google Desktop was discontinued in 2011.)
Get Infuse for Apple TV, it's just a front-end app / media player, but it works much better and leverages your existing Plex server installation.
Utilities around the US are working in numerous states to get favorable legislation letting them pay a fraction of what they do now for solar and wind energy fed back into the grid by residential and commercial customers. Once you even out your meter and reach net generation, any further generation into the grid you'll soon be getting bupkus for. Sorry, but I got better things to do than line the pockets of my state's for-profit utility company.

In rural areas, getting connected can mean tens of thousands of dollars...if they even offer it to you at all.

No matter where you are, you have to pay a monthly connection fee. It really adds up, and given how cheap solar and wind are now, you don't really get anything for it. Battery storage systems a couple years ago were very expensive, but prices are crashing and safer tech like lithium iron phosphate are becoming more commonplace. Heatpump systems have gotten so efficient that I'm pretty sure my next furnace isn't going to be a furnace, but an electric heatpump.

In my area, we lose electricity for a day or so in the winter, 1-3x a season. A year or two ago we were without power for 3 days. Everyone has generators; expensive, noisy/annoying (especially given they conduct a weekly "exercise"), wasteful, polluting, and expensive to maintain.

Having at least a large battery backup would mean I don't freeze, I can cook, take a hot shower, do my laundry, and my food doesn't spoil. And I don't need to pay the electric company for a product that just isn't very reliable and is increasingly irrelevant.
There is none I am aware of. It all focuses on eliciting and measuring and making good use of the capability.

The lack of an explicit external memory is not too surprising because the text is fed back in at every iteration. That fakes having a memory: the prompt just gets bigger. That's ordinary enough. What's critical, it seems, is being able to decide on the next incremental step and executing it within the space of an iteration, rather than simply 'guessing' the final answer.

As to how that actually happens inside a large but not small Transformer, I suspect that there is a phase transition inside the Transformer itself where it changes how it fundamentally thinks, which doesn't lead to any obvious changes the training dynamics because the two ways of thinking are initially equivalent in a loss. An example of this, where the Transformer computes in a radically different way before and after a certain point in training, is Anthropic's new work on the "induction bump": https://transformer-circuits.pub/2022/in-context-learning-an...
Fuel has gone up in price this year as well. If the pay per mile isn't matching the increase, that makes a big difference. Even before fuel shot up, the price of basic needs was increasing at a good clip, making it harder to make ends meet.
Generally I've found sticking with npm to be best. It's not the super-slow thing that it was before, and I can't remember the last time a package didn't install
because it wasn't compatible with npm.

I tried pnpm and it didn't just work, so I gave up. I would revisit it, but npm works.

These days I don't really see a reason to use yarn (but would like to hear them).
The spam issue can trivially be addressed by implementing actual penalties for rule-breakers. If it takes a long time to acquire a good reputation & ranking on the search engine, you're unlikely to risk it by doing something nasty in fear of your domain, keyword or brand name being banned for a long time.
I got so fed up with Plex constantly shoving their streaming service and nagging me to log into Plex servers when I just want to stream my own files locally that I threw my hands up and installed Jellyfin[0]. It's severely lacking in the same polish and functionality as Plex, but I'm pleased that I can run Jellyfin without ads or having to create a non-local account.

Take a look at https://mrchromebox.tech

If your brand/model is supported and you have no reasons to stay with Chrome OS, you can unlock your Chromebox/book and flash a full Coreboot/UEFI firmware, so that you can install whatever OS you want. Linux runs circles around Chrome OS just about in everything.
I've "liberated" a good number of Chromeboxes so far and never had any problems.

We ought not allow production companies to own distribution channels (and vice-versa), nor long-term exclusive deals with distributors. That's how we solved this when similar issues arose with studio ownership of movie theaters—those restrictions just ended a little while ago, IIRC. But then, that was back when we, like, ever told companies "no" when it was clearly in the public interest. Not sure we can still do that.

Ideally, a production company shouldn't give a shit where you watch their stuff, just that you do. That'd remove most of the friction that makes creation of a universal streaming UI difficult. It'd push distributors to compete on price and features, not exclusive access to content. All around a win for viewers, creating a healthier, more robust market.

So, probably won't happen :-(
haha well "decent" is in the eye of the beholder, I'd argue that vim is not only "decent" but by far the best general purpose IDE available.
