But open source libraries have a price point of zero - competing on a lower price would be negative. Other paid libs at least have a price that sustains the developer and/or company behind it.
why is the school monitoring how kids commute and using airtags? it's not airtags fault, it's your orwellian government. this is such a dumb take i can't even.

airtags alert people when they are on someone's person that they are not registered to, on iPhone and Android.

kids commute on the train in japan, germany and other places, this is absurd.
That's a quick way to lose sales. It's like asking a backend dev to make a pretty frontend website to impress a visually oriented client. Roles are stratified for a reason.
This is board dynamics. The CEO runs the company but the board decides whether the CEO keeps their job. Since Ev controls the board he is effectively the decision maker on my job. Thus he is my boss. I talk to him because he knows a lot and we had a prior working relationship. It ends up that he is my sounding board and advisor. But he doesn’t make decisions or plans or lead the teams.
The benefit of Hydrogen is not as a means of energy distribution but as storage. We have grappled with this problem for a while and it’s becoming more and more pertinent as we transmission to using the electrical grid for more and more.

Batteries have their limitations, they require specific materials, slow
to charge, and difficult to recycle. Hydrogen is the most abundant substance in the universe, and just needs to be crested and stored.

We will eventually get to point with solar that we will have excess energy that needs to be used but nothing to consume it.
Modern hydrogen electrolysis is about 80% and once the hydrogen is stored, using a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity is about 60% efficient. That’s a 48% efficient process which is still better than 0% by letting that energy go unused.

This space has not seen significant innovation because it has not been a major focus. Given a significant political or economic force, we can bring the efficiency up, waste down, and standardize hydrogen containment and pressure systems. Complaining that a solution is inefficient, which has not been innovated on, is small-minded thinking.
I think it was just perspective. I don't see where they directly disagree with you based on their anecdote
Vapor stays in the air until it condenses and falls as liquid rain.
CO2 is denser than air, and though it billows with the wind, it tends to stay low; That's why spelunking is so dangerous.

Another thing that someone brings up most time zoning is brought up: there used to be a time when Americans did it right, and they tore it (almost) all down for what it is now. Culture is shaped and can be changed, it took a wrong turn and is now in a bad state for zoning, but it shouldn’t be impossible for work it back to a state that works well for zoning.

Notice that while “etymonline” may not like it, serious dictionaries like OED give its meaning without any value judgments.

Because scientists who study language seriously understand that trying to stem the tide of random language change is futile and pointless.
Whether people “should” use a particular word is your subjective aesthetic judgment.
Medium was always a hobby for Ev, it seemed. You guys were in the same building as me for a few years (760 market). I think we may have even subletted from you at one point. But even back then it seemed like you had too many people. You can't get rid of substack, but you can differentiate. I'd suggest going all in on a decentralized platform. It's clear mastodon and others currently on the market will never cross the chasm. You have the network effect to do so while at the same time offering something different.

It is horrible. It is also the last resort. I guess we will never know how many hobbyists or tiny businesses it actually helps, unless Canonical adds a tracking id to the links.
I assume the satellites are synced so the handoff could be scheduled in advance and done in milliseconds. All you'd notice is some jitter.

I don't think it's any harder than driving on a highway where you'd do a cellular handoff every two minutes or so.

Distributing hydrocarbons means the emissions are also distributed and thus difficult to capture. Converting to hydrogen at the source allows more efficient carbon capture, which means the only distributed emissions are water.
I don't even know if I'd go that far. I use "we" a lot in my comments if I need to refer to a person. "We" or "us" unless I know for a fact only I will look at the code. If I am working on an Open Source project, code I know I will share/open source or code at work, I always use the plural. Bitcoin is open source, so very likely "we" just means anyone who wants to take an active role in the code for the project.
I use Emacs and occasionally paredit-mode for Lisp structured editing, so I know what you mean.

However, typing a few keys on the keyboard is still not as fast or as automatic as moving the mouse pointer to where your eyes are looking, IF your hand is already on the mouse (such as when scrolling around the code). Of course, if you have to move your hand from the keyboard to the mouse (such as when actively editing), the opposite is usually true.
Was I in that sublet with you? I was running Lift then.

It’s wild to me that anyone ever accuses Ev of doing this as a hobby. He has been running media platforms for 22 years. That’s an obsession.

Fastmail does have a decent contact sync. In my opinion better than O365.
I’m pretty sure people were aware of trig functions before they became aware of Euler’s identity, and became aware of the general idea of “oscillation” before that.
This is exactly EasyMotion, a bad solution from 10 years ago. I’m a Vim power user and I’m happy to not use Vim for daily editing. Vim is full of painful “Vim problems” like the one this is trying to solve. The mouse is much more efficient for selection.
On unix: no problem backslashes are only used as escapes

No one is abusing the legal system. They're using the legal system. The way to fix it is not to try to stop people using the system 'wrong', but to update the system so it's appropriate for modern tech.
A few companies I have worked for have had a strict no gifts policy. Many of our customers had similar policies, to the point that we couldn't even pay for a customer's coffees if we have a meeting at a cafe.

These policies are aimed at preventing even the whiff of bribes or favoritism wrt purchasing or awarding of contracts.

Mostly this was in the Oil and Gas industry. We had a few mining clients that were less strict wrt gifts/swag. I now work in the banking industry where there are strict regulations against bribery, facilitation payments and many types of gifts.

So I find it a bit weird to hear that sellers provide "swag".
Why don't you list your non-propaganda media sources? The only one I can think of was WikiLeaks, but your trustworthy, benevolent western governments made sure to destroy it.

I am really curious about the thinking behind the “wrong turn”. Was it not obvious that changing the incentives would poison the original intentions and destroy the quality?

I would be shocked if this was not blatantly obvious to the people who created Medium in the first place.

> You don't have the density of sensors to see even at a meter resolution, to say nothing of femtometer.

At the moment, no. But maybe there will be a way to accurately sense weather data at any location from LEO. IR thermometers are pretty neat, maybe something metaphorically along those lines, a satellite with a laser technology that could beam back accurate weather data from any location, and all atmospheric locations it can see along its orbit, sending the data to ground-based ultra-computer networks running simulations.

In 1933, no one would have believed that GPS was 40 years away. In 1985 most would not have been able to understand how flat and thin color monitors were only a decade away, nor that mRNA vaccines were less that 30 years away. Similarly, we really don't know what the future of weather sensing and prediction will be like in 2070, and if we could know, we wouldn't understand how it would be possible.

I remember making so many mistakes with those. Still do sometimes.

But at first I know I had to remember them like this: "Top is left side, or top is right side?" like where is the literal top of the shape at. Then I made a little memory aid out of that.

Comparing the usage in OSes: You can imagine the backslash as the front of the W in Windows, and the forward slash as the front of an italic L for Linux, for example. Or any of a million other ways to think about it, probably.

My sympathies though, it's not fun or cool and while the post title may not describe my feeling at the moment, it's fun to see someone else working through it like this, because we all have little battles to fight along the journey.

This seems to be mostly about formulas for checking for various curve conditions. Which is nice, but there are two problems: (1) computers don't use real numbers (2) operations take time. Regarding the second, it is probably possible to use the AlphaTensor work to find an optimized algorithm. But for the real number issue I don't think AlphaTensor is flexible enough to handle floating point yet and there is probably still some work to be done.
It's so funny to me that people seriously claim that open-source projects do not benefit from this. As hard as open-source projects try to warn their developers against looking at leaked sources, are we really supposed to believe that no one looks?

It's the exact same story with Intel Arc GPUs. The ASRock A380 is nowhere to be found. People have to import the Gunnir Chinese models if they want one. Shameful.
Yeah, that's fair. I was thinking more the post-WWII population which became centered more in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood. Pre-WWII Los Angeles was very different.
You can have 240 TB in a suitcase with 20 LTO magnetic tape cartridges.

The volume is about the same as it would be with hard disks of 24 to 30 TB per HDD, but the weight and cost is much less.

It seems to me that once you are an established writer you can go to substack and get something worthwhile out of it, but otherwise - let's read this suggestion on how to grow your audience

https://on.substack.com/p/getting-your-first-100-signups

I guess this is useful if there is no difference between your professional and non-professional personas, then you can get a lot of people reading you from linkedIn that are your professional connections and interested in what you write because you write about your professional interests.

Or if you are a naturally convivial person who has done nothing but expanded their supply of friends from high school on.

Or who has the free time to go to social events and socialize.

I'm writing on Medium https://medium.com/luminasticity because it seems to have an understandable way of building an audience that does not require you to do much other than write (although there is a detestable social aspect to it as well), it certainly isn't going great and it has taken 3 months to build 97 followers, most days I get only 4 or 5 views with every now and then a large amount for no discernible reason (by large I tend to mean 70 views), pretty much everything I write gets less than 100 views - whether a short funny piece about how suggestions by computers tend to be useless if you are actually competent [Suggestions from Idiots](https://medium.com/p/6b023acc30ae ) to a multi-story time travel narrative https://medium.com/p/adb84f467d8a with a recurring character.

I have however had one article that got 4.500 views - [To Speak Meaningfully About Art](https://medium.com/p/329093dbce7f) - why? Not sure, the Medium stats don't really tell you much.

As disheartening as it all is, looking at substack and I can't help but think I would probably be much less than that. Maybe I should have put both up and posted to both to see which got more traction instead of relying on my personal sense that Substack is for people who have an audience, and while Medium might be a ghetto you can maybe build something there.
Maybe you could think of the forward slash as making progress on a graph. Things are growing over time, so (at least culturally in a business and economic context) they're getting better, so we're "moving forward".
I don’t really see why a vegan option isn’t considered vegetarian. Does it have to contain milk, eggs or honey to be acceptable?

When I was vegetarian, I ate at vegan places for years without really being aware of the difference - all I cared about was not eating meat, and I don’t remember thinking “this doesn’t feel complete without cheese” or anything.
How does such a simulation work?

Eg how do hou predict the temperature at x,y? Is it ground type, water, sand?Altitude? Neighboring values thereof?

What are the inputs? Do you give it a starting point and apply it to a bunch of elements like some giant automata like game of life?

Some kind of finite element analysis thing?

So many questions.
Life is just is a way for water to transport itself.
Right. In a sense even when planning for the future we are living 'in the present' since we aren't actually taking a time machine to the future but instead looking at present circumstances and planning some future change that we hope to enact or predict.

I think the issue raised by the article is that people's 'present' seems to be shrinking. Which as the sibling comment expands on means that people can't plan effectively.

Now with that being said I think that the article is a load of B.S. It is a ridiculous shirking of responsibility to say "I can't plan because I have this issue called 'temporal disintegration' caused by the vague trauma of current events". I am not saying trauma isn't real, but sometimes I see it used by people to externalize their locus of control. When has it ever been easy to be a human on this Earth? Get over yourself.
The beam hopping (TDM) part of the article is similar to satellite handover. There's a lag before a beam returns to a location or a new beam is over a location, and the beams can't overlap (nco=1).
I appreciate your comment - and I admire your belief in Medium's ability to go back to the right path, but why do you think Medium will be able to get people to its platform, considering Substack is already on the right path?

As far as I can see, Medium's unique competitive advantage is its recommendations - most of your competitors are individual tools, but do not have Medium-level recommendation and content discovery systems. Substack, though, seems to me to be on the right track - good recommendation system and good content creation tools.

Why do you think Medium will recover to go back to the right path? How do you know it's not too late?

You develop a parallel, compartmentalized sub-personality that makes eye contact, smiles, and poses for a kiss, while the rest of your brain keeps thinking.

That's how I deal with this. Seems to work. The wife is happy for the little bits of passing contact, while she remarks later how "out there somewhere" I've been all day. And then I summarize what I've been thinking about and genuinely listen and connect for our dedicated together-time.
I didn't say there wasn't, but your comment seems rather disparaging of those writers, almost as if you think a good deal of them might not be worth reading? If so we are back to my argument that there is in fact not an infinite supply of writers worth reading who have the time to produce quality writing without compensation.

on edit: fixed you have the time to who have the time, writing on 2-3 hours of sleep does strange things at times.

Their official way to configure the system file is creating a overlay image that contains all necessary change to root file system and load that into system. This way may be more complex for a developer to do, but is much safer to end users. Because you aren't changing anything, you only add. And fxxk up only means you need to unload the newly added image.

It'd be easier to use if it can automatically do it for you though. Something like, enter a special env, install packages, leave and it automatically pop up an image for you would be nice.

I think this is quite similar to docker image layers except it is composable

The hardware is great, but I can't bring myself to buy anything that requires running Logitech's software.

I've heard elsewhere Logitech devices are laggy on bluetooth. Why isn't this an issue for Apple and other manf?

I've moved from mech keyboards with O-ringed MX blues to pretty much using the Apple magic keyboard and trackpad anytime I'm at the desk. Sometimes I still reach for the clicky-claky, but integrated Touch-ID is so useful I've taken a liking to using the Apple magic keyboard (with touch id) and grown accustomed to the feel.
[ This was a fun read and worth far more than the comment I'm about to place here ]

There are times when I wonder whether we fail to spend enough time understanding one another. Failure in this generally creates many distractions and unplanned after effects that really do add right up over time.

Take this idea:

Thiel says we have made significant progress on things related to air travel, but the actual aircraft flies slower than it did back in the day.

I've seen this put in front of me a few times in various contexts. One common conclusion is we are leaving real money on the table by ignoring the speed of air travel, despite the fact that actual travel from point A to B may be quicker and or far more accessible than it was in the era of faster aircraft.

To that I would argue failure to understand one another goes well beyond the classic "what is worth what?" conflict inherent in so many of Thiel's points.

The real money left on the table is massive security theatre!! We have bogged down air travel, and perhaps other travel as the tentacles of the TSA continue to work their way into the machinery of society. That growth is driven by our failure to understand what creating an entity in charge of reducing risks presented by threats it is also supposed to identify! Fact is the incentives are in the wrong place here!

I would question any mandate to grow. Growth may be indicated as growth in real threats grow. Fair enough. However, when the identification and mitigation of said threats is within the scope of the same organization, any growth comes with serious questions about "security theatre." It's obvious, yet here we are continuing to ignore a basic problem.

[none of this should be taken as an attack on the TSA, which is simply operating as intended, nor Thiel, who is arguably operating as intended :) ]

Given the current state of affairs, Thiel talking about airplanes needing to go faster, and why we aren't doing that, makes a lot of sense too, and I will stop the security discussion right there really wanting to make a point more than continue this discussion.

That point being we do not understand one another as a nation of people and it's chronic, impacting almost everything we do.

And, like with the security example above, this failure to understand one another has left us a nation with peoples in it[0] rather than a nation of people. This has left us with many expensive symptoms inhibiting progress and or valuing it in ways that aren't doing us any favors.

[0] "Peoples" taking the definition referring to many distinct groups, factions, sects...
I have also been floored with their output, but it's because of that that the comparison to self-driving vehicles is so relevant. Even if we saw impressive growth over 5 years, it doesn't mean that growth will continue for another 5.

It's possible that Stable Diffusion, or minor improvements of, is our peak for the next few decades.
