Nice experiment.

I wonder how often do people write SVG by hand?

If often then it's definietly a good idea to simplify SVG/XML for writing.

I once experimented with some extremely minimal formats[1] built on Jevko[2] (I am its father) particularly aimed at compacting SVG. For example:

svg width[391] height[391] viewBox[-70.5 -70.5 391 391] xmlns[http://www.w3.org/2000/svg] xmlns:xlink[http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink][
rect fill[#fff] stroke[#000] x[-70] y[-70] width[390] height[390]
g opacity[0.8][
rect x[25] y[25] width[200] height[200] fill[lime] stroke-width[4] stroke[pink]
circle cx[125] cy[125] r[75] fill[orange]
polyline points[50,150 50,200 200,200 200,100] stroke[red] stroke-width[4] fill[none]
line x1[50] y1[50] x2[200] y2[200] stroke[blue] stroke-width[4]
]
]

Compared to CSS-like syntax like in the post, the advantage of this is that it is extremely simple and generic, as it works for XML in general (especially the more minimal flavors, e.g. [3]).
There are no specialized features here but also not many parsing challenges or edge cases.

Clearly, there are ways to simplify these things, but not many people seem to be really interested in that.

It's impossible to completely rule out some sort of US sponsored covert action, but that seems highly unlikely. The risks outweigh any possible rewards. If the operation went wrong and got exposed the political fallout would be catastrophic.

Right now the US is the only country really "winning" the war in Ukraine so there's no need to do anything so crazy.
I was skeptical but wow this is amazing. I am curious about the set of technologies you've used to build this.

great work!
None of this really supports your argument. 9/11 was the largest workforce reduction in tech as far as people leaving the industry.
Hi, CTO of DataBorg here. Thanks for trying it out!
We weren't quite ready to announce it to public just yet :) But hey, can't do much about it now.

Pricing is still a placeholder basically. We want to be in line with industry (which is generally ~0.001$ per 1000 characters), so the final tiers would look something like this:

Free - 3,000 credits

Hobby - 50,000 credits / 49$

Pro - 300,000 credits / 299$

Business - 5,000,000 credits / 4999$

If you could email me privately at tim at databorg.ai, I could give you a free month of hobby tier as apologies for this mess :)

Well, at this point I think you are plagiarizing other people's ideas and then asserting the rebuttal of those ideas can't possibly apply to anything you wrote here.
Please don't be condescending and wrong at the same time. The quantum tunnelling limit didn't mysteriously go away because the marketing department decided to name things based on the thickness of one particular feature. Nor do the laws of physics change when you bury your transistor in dialectric (the wavelength does, but that only works once).

Node name just barely correlates with minimum feature size (how thin can a line be drawn). That's starting to break down (hence intel 7 and 2N and so on) but that's not the limit I'm speaking of. The "2nm" nodes wind up with functional units about 30nm from center to center.

Compare to the 22nm node which was almost precisely 44nm center to center for a dram cell. In density terms there's maybe a factor of ~20 between 22nm and 2nm processes, so functionally the 2nm node can make things which are about a fifth the linear dimension.

Gate pitch has a fairly hard limit based on voltage and electron wavelength.

You're never going to put another transistor within about 2nm of a first one and have them both work. Hence the roughly order of magnitude in linear dimension past current.
What else are you working for if not the money? XD
Or they tolerate it.

I have a friend who breathes heavily when he eats. I fucking hate it. But he's been my friend since I was 16 (I'm now over 40).

Is my friend exhibiting a power play, am I being subservient, or is it just two humans getting along with each other?

Not everything is power politics.
What?

FAANGS still offer upwards of 1m/year compensation.
I'm really getting tired of this kind of take. You never really see that if AWS adds a product, or GCP adds a product or any other products from bigger CDNs.

What do you suggest? Cloudflare should stop releasing products? Regulation that you are only allowed to handle x% of the total internet traffic?
No, I am not sure about the meaning at all. Did they deploy databases that will tend to be a TB in size as something tends to infinity? Or multiple TBs? I don't know if they know about the constant factor since they don't know what the notation mean. Maybe they know what it means and are using it for a clever lie, a 1kB database is O(1TB). So is an empty database.

GGP is trying to be cool, and doing so stripped all meaning from their statement.
The ”entity recognition” is absolutely useless.

I tried it with a short text describing several entities and their relationships, yet it only spotted the word ”Users”. Not ”company”, not ”account”, not ”subscription”… not exactly impressed.

> Germany has struggled to store enough gas storage for winter. They have told the public they have enough, however those estimates assumed a continued flow along the Nordstream 1 pipeline.

This isn't true based on what I've read in German and Swedish news. Storage was filling ahead of usual schedule, already having enough to sustain through the winter. What we haven't got, in my understanding, is any buffer room whatsoever. What's your source that knows better than public service news here?

Edit: Here's a Bloomberg article about how you're wrong: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-27/europe-is...
This is why it’s best to adopt a skeptical attitude about published science at least until after a reasonable time period has passed for general scrutiny and retraction but maybe always. This is especially important if the subject is exciting, surprising, relates to some political controversy, or anything else that tends to provoke motivated reasoning.

It's a way to clear out old apps that don't make money. A freeware app can be quite popular but won’t get updated if the developer as moved on to other jobs and can't continue to devote unpaid labor toward their passion project. In order to afford to keep maintaining it, they may have to move a happily free app toward a subscription or ad-supported model. And Apple's forced updates are nudging people in that direction.

It reminds me of a class I once took where the professor stated that some colonial governments would go into tribal areas, claim land ownership, and start taxing the indigenous people. And because these people now owed taxes, they had to give up their lifestyle, enter the workforce, and participate in the money economy whether they wanted to or not. I don't know if that scenario is historically accurate but it certainly is analogous to Apple's policy. Developers who might not even want to make money are being compelled to do so or see their apps get pulled, because forced updates amount to a tax that must be paid.

This might be a "person in a country with pretty fast internet connection" opinion but I don't think I ever had that issue. Might also depend on the container size, pushing > 1GB containers might be more error prone than pushing small(ish) containers.

Many companies have a policy to give a discount, upgrade or similar if customer asks nicely for it. But somehow majority of people are just rude and they want discount because “your hotel is shitty, too expensive service, etc.” (put some lie or insult). There is no “thank you”. No “please”

So people will demand but not ask..

Sure. But if their point is not "consume a gigantic amount of stuff passively before you consider speaking", I'm not sure what the difference to the conventional way is, given that "immerse yourself in the language, consume lots of native media, ..." is extremely common and widely recognized advice.

Speaking to GitHub specifically:

1) The owners sometimes archive the project or write in the readme: complete, no more features will be accepted.

2) You can look at the number of open issues. A project with X stars/used-by/forks that hasn't been updated in 8 months and has zero open issues is probably stable.

Time. Fundraising in general requires huge about of executive time that is unrelated business fundamentals that drive sustainable growth.

If startups focused on finding and proving true product-market fit in a vertical with high growth potential, funding would take considerable less time.

Here one take on how to prove product-market fit from Entrepreneur.com:

I took a quick look at Chalk. I would say using yoctodelay dependency is kinda useless, and is maintained by a single individual. I sense potential danger there. The other dev dependencies should be audited too.
That offset would cut lines in half most of the times. Here is a visual diagram of one of examples of such layout:

0vh
margin
column 1 column 2
text text
text text
margin
100vh
margin
column 3 …
…
200vh

Content flows naturally through column 1, 2, 3 and so on. No lines are cut in half horizontally (in a sense of overflow-y). When a window height resizes, content reflows accordingly - no scrolling required to read a full page at any window height.
> no power supply

No internal power supply. Very important distinction.

"The device, a passive cavity resonator, became active only when a radio signal of the correct frequency was sent to the device from an external transmitter."

But the Thing was a transmitter. A receiver could be entirely passive and very small. It could easily fit in a dental implant. (There have been reports of people hearing AM radio broadcasts through their fillings.) But the risk of detection would be very high.
> AIs simply do not sound like people. They can fool me for a little while, but eventually you realize it's just a bot.

Why would a language learner be concerned about that? If I thought it was a real person, I'd become alarmed, because that's not what it was presented to me as.

> You take whatever biases the AI has, and encode it into a living, breathing person.

Biases towards certain adjectives? I don't even understand this comment. It could lead you into speaking weird Spanish if it speaks weird Spanish, but I imagine that would be something they were trying to improve if they noticed it. And growing up in a weird place or having a weird family could also result in you speaking weird Spanish. You still speak Spanish, which is what language learners are looking for, and if you want to sound like a particular class of Spanish speaker, you would hang out with them and consume their media.

I mean, my own English is pretty bad in my opinion, but it's a dream level for an aspiring language learner. Practicing their English with me would be useful, even if my speaking is somehow "biased." Are you telling me that language practice with an AI is worthless, or even a sin?

I really don't understand a bit of this comment. So much so that I'm suspicious that it was generated by a model.
I'm not sure why then they couldn't just apply a more standard background subtraction method and show that the result still holds.
Note that this approach was "room temperature" but under very (very) high pressure.
Yes just yes. Since that supports exactly what I wrote.
Hi, CTO of DataBorg here. Thanks for trying it out!
We weren't quite ready to announce it to public just yet :) But hey, can't do much about it now. Pricing is still a bit of placeholder - there'll be 10x more credits on free tier soon-ish.

There is quite a number of ways you could utilize named entity recognition (NER) and/or knowledge graphs (KGs). Ranging from extracting mentioned entities (to e.g. provide a quick access to all articles containing specific entity), to semantic search, to building a unified knowledge graph from text (unstructured) data you have.
Cool thing about KGs is that they are based on open standards, so once you've built them out of the data you have - there's quite a few existing tools that (for the most part) work out-of-the-box with them.
They just keep building on top of the things they've already built that are working really well, expanding into related services. Doesn't seem that different from what AWS is doing, just with a different focus and in a different place in everyone's (or the Internet's) stack.

Regulation sounds about right. Monopolies are regulated in the real world, so why don't we do the same in the virtual one?

I think this just demonstrates a fundamental flaw with our interview process more than anything else. We are modeling interviews based on companies with insane hiring demands (FAANG). At our little 20 person company we have removed most of the BS leetcode style questions and have shifted towards a more discussion based interview process.

Effectively we have switched from quantitative to qualitative where the questions are similar to start but because of the fluid nature of conversation, drift further from other candidates.
Oh duh. That's a clever trick which is rather obvious in hindsight.
I used to use Synaptic around 2010. It was great. I've never come to like things like GNOME Software Center though. They were buggy and gimped, when I tried them. Also the UI was awful (and still is from what I saw from the screenshots).

However, I've since moved to a Mac, so when I use a Linux, it's remotely over a terminal. Running remote GUI Linux applications isn't as smooth.

You do see plenty of complaining about Amazon and Google, and yes, [some] people on here are very much pro regulation.
There are several technologies that can make transistors that are too expensive to pursue in earnest until 2nm reaches commodity pricing which means multiple companies making fabs near that performance point. That will be a while probably, but it will be inside a hundred years, unless we end ourselves. Some of those technologies may exceed silicon performance and allow our continued growth. After 2nm hits commodity pricing, but before graphene or diamond or whatever hit feature parity, I wouldn't be surprised to see more intrinsics popping up to support common usecases in devoted silicon, but that just makes more work for you as a compiler developer.

I do think in the nearer term, computing will get less abstracted and people will spend more time on optimization. Not because of moores law, but because the demand for new chips is far exceeding supply from bleeding edge fabs, and it will take a long time to catch up. This may get exacerbated by politics and shrinking manufacturing workforces. So we will have to do more with older tech. These exotic architectures the author posits have to get fabbed by someone, and they won't do that while they can use existing designs to print money.

I'm confused why you need a tool for this. If you are writing the react code, and adding the script to your web page... this tool just seems to be an alternative to webpack? It doesn't seem to be solving a technical problem as much as a knowledge problem - if you don't know how to build a React app, this might make it one step easier. Is that the intent?

>Everyone has been saying "linux, learn linux" to me. I'm not understanding why that's the case. But personally, I love linux because it makes my life easier.

If you feel like you need to learn something because you're being pressured into it, you probably won't have a great time. Instead of feeling you're pushed or forced into learning something, I would encourage you to set some basic assessments and goals for yourself based on those answers.

Do I want to learn Linux?

If yes, what about Linux do I wish to learn?

What can Linux do for me that Windows can't do, or Windows can't do as well as Linux can?

What can I learn through Linux that will help me with web development?

Do I care about the desktop environment, or server environment?

Do I use command line frequently on Windows?

How long would it take me before I start to feel comfortable working in command line on Linux?

I think that if you have an honest set of answers for yourself for each question, you'll have a much better starting point of why you would want to learn, what you hope to accomplish, and what overall gains you can make by learning Linux.

Personally, I love using Linux, but I wouldn't say that everyone needs to learn it. Plenty of people can get by just fine on Windows or Mac. I don't want to force people to using what I use, just because I use it and like it.
Oh the joys of monopoly
Funny enough I ran into this exact use case recently. We have a marketing site for a client done with webflow..But we needed to add a third party widget that only had an react library. So I ended up creating a CRA project so that I could include the bundled file and render the component as needed using the same setup (it was a modal + some purchase logic). Added some bare js hooks to trigger some of the logic via a button press. Worked well actually

Only once I bought original Apple battery, it didn't last even a year. I suspect it was made at the time iPhone 6S was in production so battery was waiting at the shelf for many years. It is probably the same case with you SE, Apple no longer makes batteries for 1st gen SE, only using what was made years ago. Old batteries, even not used, don't last long.
