I feel this. Because of a Google Group I briefly followed one of my email addresses got incorrectly associated with my Kickstarter account on some marketing list somewhere and gets added to so much "legitimate" marketing lists for fly-by-night Kickstarters. It's really frustrating and the accident of it being a "wrong" email at least makes it somewhat easier to manage (though I worry if I ignore that mailbox too much I may miss the rare once in a few years important email to it).

For a while MailChimp was the only one of the major/reputable providers I trusted the Unsubscribe button on because they had a "I did not sign up for this button" that supposedly dinged the mailing list owner's reputation with them, but more than that would supposedly make it a bit tougher for the next mailing list to just dump that email in without a verification step or a cool off period.

That button disappeared recently and I guess MailChimp no longer cares either. Shame.
Very true. I know teachers who left public school for lower paying jobs at private schools

We have spent the last 40 years reducing teacher autonomy, so it shouldn't be surprising that it's harder to get teachers who care.
There's really not any shortage of people willing to teach the most well educated students though, especially as their parents can usually pay a lot.
Lots of visual tools run under Linux, lots of C++ written for Linux.

But general Linux devs tend to be more self sufficient and need less hand holding. Unless they are doing Java, which is almost impossible to use effectively without an IDE.

Umm, I think you're missing something big here. The only reason this was "economical" were huge tax benefits/subsidies.

Decentralized energy production that involves a bunch of large moving parts will NEVER be as efficient as centralized energy production.
Devastating to see a government come after an artist with no justification. Shvembldr has been such a positive force for good in the generative art space. Stay strong
> I mean, this all sounds like an red herring anyway if what you want is to improve maths education broadly

That's the tricky bit here, right? Math competition gamifies math, and encourages a level of play and understanding that normal math classes don't deliver.

But if you don't feel like you have some basic level of competence, being measured in this way is demotivating.

We need to figure out ways to make it interesting and involve exploration and that game-like feel for a broad slice of students.

I would rather a given student end their HS math journey in algebra I and have finished it with A) wonder, and B) a broad and solid understanding of the material that they can take into their adult lives... than to have ended it being able to do a big slice of AP Calc BC problems well, but without any kind of underlying fluency in math.

True mastery is one thing missing from all these discussions of math levels, tracks, etc.
> Correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think this is a feature in the text-only approaches.

I unless I'm missing something, all those features are available to me now.

> If one day I need an accountant to review my finances, or if I suffer an audit by the tax man, I can send on the single .gnucash file with all my data.

I can do the same with a git repo, or a zipfile.

> an accountant/auditor can easily install Gnucash and generate reports with only basic knowledge.

I'm not sure I understand the advantage here. A professional could install beancount too, and run the same scripts I do. My real life experience is they don't actually want this level of depth.

> Another nice feature is the file linkage features, where I can directly link my payslip pdf files to the gnucash entries. I have folder structure on my GDrive with all of my stored bills, payslips etc.

You can link to external documents in Beancount and possibly the others and it's kept in the same archival system:

My blog (jlelse.blog) is absolutely worth it for me for the following reasons:

1. I enjoy sharing things with the world.
2. I got to know a lot of people who wrote me mails because I posted something. Some really nice connections with people from all over the world.
3. I learned a new programming language by developing my own blog software.
4. In job interviews I can tell about developing my own blog software with new technologies.

But I just post when I want to and what I want to. That can range from tutorials to just a casual images I took when walking through my neighborhood.
Last I checked AWS has poor support for Docker and Kubernetes, they charge a bit more for those than their own Fargate. Docker & Kubernetes are a threat to AWS because it makes applications cloud-independent, and AWS would prefer for you to weld your applications to AWS.

The issues mentioned in this story are minor irritants that exist in Azure, AWS and Google cloud.
I notice nearly everyone posts links to their blog. If you write a blog and want people to look at it, do you really have to do this as much as possible?

Or another way to look at it is that American cultural value of "Individuality" has been corrupted to lean towards more and more selfishness because of consumerism ... so much that some Americans now think it is normal to have a selfish attitude and are wired (by constant consumerist marketing) to place their needs above all, without bothering to think about how their decisions and actions impact others. What you see as indecisiveness or lack of action may actually be genuine contemplation ...

thank you for checking it out! Yes, current version just uses standard bootstrap elements. Wanted to at least make it look not super ugly :)

Hopefully I can invest more time in design soon if there is enough interest in this idea overall.

Also if anything can be improved in terms of functionality (there is not a lot of it yet, but maybe something obvious can be added/changed), I'm very interested in learning that as well!

Writing and Publishing or maybe now Creating and Sharing have been incredible for my mental health. I can refine and bring clarity to my thoughts. Then sharing those thoughts I more often then not find at least one person who finds value in them or perhaps is moved by my words/photos/video, to share something of value with me.
Unfortunately this does not work automatically - it requires carrier side support. It will hopefully be widespread one day, but it may be years still.

I'm not sure your argument makes sense - Does conducting your business in a serious way as an artist involve finance-levels of know-your-customer regulatory compliance? Most business, aside from finance, do not know much about who's buying whatever product they're selling. Individual artists shouldn't be on the hook to do background checks on art buyers.

No fast food places have "fast food prices" anymore unless you heavily coupon and/or use their apps. Seems to be a method of price discrimination. If you're poor you know about the app and coupons and never pay menu prices. If you're not then you think "god damn, fast food got expensive" and pay menu price anyway, when you happen to go to such an establishment.

Like, they've always done coupons, but menu prices used to also not be a complete rip-off. They are, now.

> Personally, I strongly suspect we will have to fundamentally change as a species to get through at least one of the Great Filters looming before us. However, it's important to remember that the road is fraught with many perils and several possible paths which could lead to unimaginable suffering. It really seems to me that we're going to have to get lucky on multiple dice rolls here in the long run.

The opposite could be equally true. The evolution to use technology can make us weak / break us in some manner which eventually destroys us.

Simple examples: climate change, genetic alterations, lack of reproduction, etc.

AKA by rolling the dice we are running the risk. If you look at it another way, you're correct. But every new theoretically destructive technology is another dice role, eventually we will blow ourselves up (even with long-tail odds of failure). The only way to survive is to slow progress and roll the dice when we mitigate risk and increase our capability of surviving (running gene related experiments more slowly aka - COVID19 therapy) or testing nuclear weapons on mars, etc.

Even more "incredibly reasonable" behaviour: giving 30 day access to EAPs which always seem to be updated every 30 days anyway means that almost anyone could, with a bit of work, use their products for 'free' long term.

I know the price is going up in Oct, and I will likely 'buy ahead' 2-3 years at the current price now to save a bit extra.
One of my favorite things about Mpv is that it's basically a clear cut example on how to use the FFmpeg api. It's written in a way that's fairly straightforward to follow, and was rather instrumental in me understanding the hardware acceleration API of FFmpeg.

By my estimate they need a million subscribers just to pay for launching satellites at the prescribed replacement rate (per 5 years) presuming 19000 units. But I have seen numbers from 9800 to 42000, quoting various people at SpaceX at various times.

C'mon, let's be honest. Computing technology in the US for the first couple decades was all about calculating artillery and navigating ships and fighter jets, too.

The initial push to computing tech came from the need for cryptographic and artillery purposes. The true first microprocessor was the Central Air Data Computer in the F-14 fighter jet. The defense industry in many ways led the way on almost all fronts -- super computing, networking (DARPA etc), cryptography, etc. etc.

Initial public and defence investment. Later, private market application. The USSR mostly lacked the latter, though.
Reducing Bias and Improving Safety in DALL·E 2
Most datacenter hardware is fine at 95 degrees F (inlet temp). Approved configurations are usually available to 105 degrees F or slightly higher. Some devices can run as high as 130F.

In the operating range, you’re not going to have any measurable change in operations or failure rate - if you do the parts are defective. All of the stories you hear about this and that are conjecture.
It might be fun to implement these in something like this origami simulator: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31281700 https://origamisimulator.org ; that seems to have a bit of trouble with order-of-operation steps, but I think would still be interesting.
I'm honestly surprised how many don't even seem to take your skillset into consideration.

You don't have to know much about programming languages to know that if none of the words on my resume match the ones in the job listing, it's probably not a good match.

Maybe I need to be more clear that while I'm willing to learn new tech for a job, I probably don't want jobs where I have to learn an entire new stack just to get started.

The Federov link towards the end of this piece remindeded me of some older science fiction on the topic, specifically, C. S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength (published 1945, just before the atomic bomb got the genre's attention.) In this work, the central conspiracy has just (haltingly) achieved the artificial resurrection of a human brain, and this capability is the lynchpin of their scheme to take over the world. In the excerpt below, our protagonist Mark finally learns of the advance from the scientist Filostrato, while the slightly deranged preacher Straik theologizes (he might have been Federov-inspired.) It's all very much in line with the incredible possibilities of consciousness-abuse that is covered here.

--

"It is the beginning of Man Immortal and Man Ubiquitous," said Straik. "Man on the throne of the universe. It is what all the prophecies really meant."

"At first, of course," said Filostrato, "the power will be confined to a number--a small number--of individual men. Those who are selected for eternal life."

"And you mean," said Mark, "it will then be extended to all men?"

"No," said Filostrato. "I mean it will then be reduced to one man. You are not a fool, are you, my young friend? All that talk about the power of Man over Nature--Man in the abstract--is only for the canaglia. You know as well as I do that Man's power over Nature means the power of some men over other men with Nature as the instrument. There is no such thing as Man--it is a word. There are only men. No! It is not Man who will be omnipotent, it is some one man, some immortal man. Alcasan, our Head, is the first sketch of it. The completed product may be someone else. It may be you. It may be me."

"A king cometh," said Straik, "who shall rule the universe with righteousness and the heavens with judgement. You thought all that was mythology, no doubt. You thought because fables had clustered about the phrase 'Son of Man' that Man would never really have a son who will wield all power. But he will."

"I don't understand, I don't understand," said Mark.

"But it is very easy," said Filostrato. "We have found how to make a dead man live. He was a wise man even in his natural life. He live now forever: he get wiser. Later, we make them live better--for at present, one must concede, this second life is probably not very agreeable to him who has it. You see? Later we make it pleasant for some--perhaps not so pleasant for others. For we can make the dead live whether they wish it or not. He who shall be finally king of the universe can give this life to whom he pleases. They cannot refuse the little present."

"And so," said Straik, "the lessons you learned at your mother's knee return. God will have power to give eternal reward and eternal punishment."

I also find it hypocritical.

My ancestors on my “civilised” country uprooted an tore down all the trees and forests, most of the countryside is farmland. And now that we have destroyed our forests we go “no no, preserve the rainforests”… so we can keep planting wheat?
You say that like there's a difference.

The first person I know who committed suicide, did so after being arrested for something that shouldn't have even been illegal. But the ordeal into which he was plunged by law enforcement was too much to handle. He was very stressed out by the shame of being in the newspaper and such, but nobody realized the degree until it was too late.

The second, too. Different details but overall similar scenario; he wrote of the feeling of being ground up by this massive machine.

Want to make someone feel hopeless, start by sending police in place of counselors.

I only know two people who've committed suicide. So that's not a great track record for police making things better.
Whatever your opinions on generative art sold as NFTs, the lack of regulatory clarity seems pretty stifling.

The author asked for guidance:

>I called the VID (Latvian State Revenue Service) and asked in detail what I should do. I was told that I should first register as a self-employed person with the profession of an artist. And I have to convert my income into fiat and pay tax on the income in fiat because cryptocurrency is not money in Latvia.

...followed it by converting to Euros and paying taxes and then still had his bank account frozen for half a year without any further clarification on what he did wrong or how to fix it.

I have a house here in London where in the kitchen the cold tap is on the left side and hot on the right side while in the bath rooms it is hot water on the right side and hot on the left side of the mixer tap. Seriously I have no idea why the developer thought this was a good idea.

At least once a week I get surprised by the hot water when washing my hands :)

I expect that to happen to /360 as well (there's more than one emulator; there's even support for the old consoles), but the hardware will be gone. And --in case of the JPEG2000-- once x86 is gone, it'll be an old decoder running on an old, unsupported OS running on unmaintained VM software running on a hardware emulator (which will also have a limited support). Not a great outlook.

No, but its quite likely someone with interest in technical things has at least experimented with computing and writing their own code.

Long ago I helped a fellow with his Apple2 sometimes, he was not a "power user" but was enjoying learning through repeated failure. He repaid the help with advice and effort on antenna and crossover design that still surpasses my understanding. very technical but not very computer literate.

They would need new regulatory clearance, a new spectrum allocation, and probably all new satellites and terminals to operate in a different frequency band.

And by my estimate they need a million subscribers just to pay for replacement satellites as the old ones burn up.
My point is the label hater is a generic term that is frequently used to dismiss valid points and criticisms of others. It has such a low bar that a distaste or a popular dislike winds up having a large group of people being labeled as a "hater".

It's imprecise, it's from the subject's point of view (which makes it a poor statement to make from the journalist's pov), and it potentially leads the readers to make ill-informed opinions about the wrong people.

Honestly, you don't want everyone to be constantly iterating and trying to drastically upend things to find a new global optimum. Beyond the fact that many people are not cut out to do it (most people aren't above average ;), there's a survivorship bias in these stories. You don't hear all the times that radical new approaches had terrible outcomes.

If you want to build an extraordinary competitive program doing A, you should absolutely be doing lots different from what everyone else does. But the typical program that eschews hard-gained wisdom will do worse. Basically, you're buying volatility in outcomes for a lower expected value.
It’s at least partly caused by climate change too
As speeds get higher the amount of data that can "slip in" during the expected latency gets larger and larger. If your round-trip latency is 400 ms or whatever, why not have 1MB as your page if that comfortably fits into that latency?

This isn't true, and also makes no sense. (How would he have paid taxes? What money would the police have seized?) Speaking from first-hand experience, there's a significant community of collectors who like and will buy Shvembldr's work.
