> The housing space metrics seem very far off from my experience

I have friend living in Tokyo paying <10万円 in rent for a (very small) single unit. A couple other friends share a larger unit and pay similar per person. All are in the 23 wards. This is unimaginable for other friends living in Paris (one of the 20 Arrondissements) and New York (one of the 5 boroughs), regardless of size. I have no anecdata on London.

Regarding size, I was far more comfortable living in a ~550sqft 1LDK in Japan than I ever was in 800sqft-1000sqft apartments in North America - everything is geared to living in tighter quarters (from furniture to fridge to food packaging) making it much more convenient than trying to fit a full size couch into a small western apartment, or trying to save by bulk buying ingredients when you don't have the space to store it.

So I think the title of the article is half right (rent is cheaper than you'd think), missing some key info (wages are also cheaper than you'd think), half of it is roughly incorrect (housing is not any more spacious than you'd think), and the article itself doesn't back it up well.
That's why I said virtually; in Tokyo you know where you saw one at some point as a curiosity. In many European cities just walking around aimlessly you have high chances of seeing some homeless people. In SF I had to literally jump over homeless' people stuff to walk down multiple streets in my last visit.
Yeah, I also made the switch. It was something like a ten-year process, and I have a lot more relationships and connections from pushing myself a bit to be more outgoing and social. With the changes in behavior my personality shifted as well, and I now like a balance of intro and extro to recharge.
I would assume we are like living pixels on a computer monitor, and black holes are the boundaries of the display viewport.
> And as long the emulation speed is indistinguishable from native (Like Rosetta 2), end users won't notice it and won't complain.

Apple could do Rosetta 1 and 2 because the emulated CPU was considerably slower the new architecture. No evidence at all that this would be the case here.
And what kind of fuel would it add? That systemd has corporate backers?

Systemd was 100% created by redhat, so no, corporate backers aren't the problem.

The real problem is that Microsoft has historically tried to destroy linux, and beyond that, has a huge history of FUD and embrace and extinguish.

Many in the OSS community consider Microsoft to be pure evil.

And if their historical behaviour is any indication, nothing they do with/for Linux will turn out well, or good for the community.
OP here wrote this the most verbose way I could think possible. Most commands are pre-aliased in PowerShell and arguments are fuzzy matched as long as they're not ambiguous.

For example:

Remove-Item $directory -Recurse -Force
rm $directory -r -fo

For this specific example ConvertFrom-Yaml actually doesn't exist as a standard cmdlet and ConvertTo-Json isn't aliased by default:

gc ./something.yml | ConvertFrom-Yaml | ConvertTo-Json > /some/file.json
With any shell:

$ brew install yq
$ yq -o json . < config.yml
The thing is that I recharge by being alone AND by being with friends, and am drained by being with people I don't like. Either I don't fit the standard, or the definition is too narrow.
Oh, I'm very interested in being satisfied, but I think the problem is way harder than people assume it is.

We had the luxury, for decades, of a de-facto mechanism of tamping the noise in the SNR culturally: the press was free, but only some people could afford it (and, at least over the airwaves, the press wasn't even technically free, as the AM / FM bands were considered shared natural resources that were parceled up by the FCC; break their rules, and your privilege of throwing signal through America's finite bandwidth was curtailed by law).

This is no longer the case. The modern, dominant, massively-distributed, massively-parallel peer-to-peer communications media doesn't follow any of those old rules. IP addresses are a constrained resource, but not enough to actually care. Anyone who can get a peering agreement with an internet carrier can communicate. As a result, we are freer than ever to speak our minds to every corner of the Earth at near lightspeed... But a lot of old assumptions that were implicitly baked into the question of how mass communication technology was used no longer apply.

It is not guaranteed that democratic society survives in this new normal. That is the interesting question. So when people assert, unexplored, that you just "inform" people by "adding signal," it's worth raising the question of how that signal cuts through the noise. In the old days, it'd cut through because various broadcast comms organs, from NBC down to individual stations, refused to carry the noise (either by their own standards or by implicit threat of loss of broadcast license). What makes it cut through now? It isn't whether it's true (we have observed how easily people can be deceived if someone spends enough money to culture-jam them with an alternate narrative of reality). It isn't whether it's important (we've observed people turn to triviality to disengage from painful reality going on outside their window).

We should think hard about these aspects of the new normal.

> are those risks worth being free

I don't think freedom is guaranteed by maximizing everyone's ability to speak at all times, unfettered, to everyone. Trivially, you could assert the one kind of freedom (the freedom to say anything, at any time, unfettered, to anyone)... But if nobody's listening, if you're just screaming into the void, what is the value of that freedom? And what if that freedom is used to deprive you of other freedoms? That freedom can be used by the wealthy and connected to craft narrative that says people like you and me don't deserve to be treated as equal members of society (and, more importantly, say it loudly enough and often enough to drown out counter-narratives by simple weight and the finite nature of human attention... Unfettered freedom of speech means a billionaire can buy up every billboard and ad slot in your town to push the narrative that you belong in jail). Do we just trust that some cosmic justice undermines that narrative? And if it doesn't, what happens to all our freedoms?
What I want is pretty simple (and isn't for everyone): I just want a spot I can keep tabs on the broader goings on of other people in infosec.
either monopoly or cartel or mafia rule.

But it's not like people are forced to use apple, nor should we force apple to stop taking their tax. But with great money comes great responsibility, Apple should be 30% financially liable for anything that happens to the makers of the apps they host as well. Not sure if it s legally valid, but we can make it so.

Huh?

What form would give validation error or warning that a note the Dr is making either raises a new question by the patient or is in conflict with something the patient knows?

(& yes, from what I could see, there were also fields for patient data, date, etc, that are presumably validation-checked)
Nice, the T14s also looks good.

Does it support S3 sleep state?

One downside I see is that it seems to be 130g heavier than the X1 Carbon series.
You’re replying to a post about the frequent misuse of “introversion”, and are (I believe) misusing the term in the manner discussed, yourself :)

(You are not alone in believing that the current Mozilla Corp. leadership are incompetent to uphold the original ethos of Mozilla, and worse, are selfishly prioritising their relationship with BigTech than their users).
Yes, any given extrovert may not have good social skills, but extroverts as a class have better social skills on average through use.
You can run windows programs from whatever Linux shell (in WSL) you want, because the Windows filesystem is mounted and Windows executables run in the Windows environment.

OTOH, if you are doing anything complicated, it gets weird because (e.g.) file paths have to be passed as windows paths to windows programs, not using the linux mount path that you would access the path from in linux. But, you can, in principle, use a Linux shell in WSL to run Windows PyInstaller to build for Windows.
Totally agree that it's difficult.

> Symlinks are brittle.

On the Mac OS, aliases are a lot less brittle. You can move aliased files around, and they usually won't lose their connection.
Probably better to write this with the standard alias's so people don't complain about verbosity:

gc ./something.yml | ConvertFrom-Yaml | ConvertTo-Json > /some/file.json

Also I don't think ConvertFrom-Yaml actually exists as a standard cmdlet.
Yeah, 2 in rapid succession for each of the boosters. Really took us by surprise just how loud they are from the SpaceX hangar.
That's completely unrelated though? Of course people do like to have a phone that gets security updates for more than 2 years. Apple makes a phone which gets security updates for more than 2 years, and also is applying mafia-like extortionary tactics.

>(And no, this isn't because of Japan's demographics. While Japan as a whole is stagnating, the population of Tokyo is still increasing as fast as London, New York or the Bay Area because of high rural to urban migration.)

Tokyo had negative population growth in 2022 and is forecasted to continue decreasing in population. That said, these differences existed before Tokyo's population stagnated.
Hard to tell, TSMC's faster cadence means you'd have to get a snapshot of total output on N7 and newer but I don't think they break that out. They report numbers here and there in the press but usually only for the new process they're promoting and for example a lot of N7 from two years ago probably got cannibalized by N5 etc. For N5 and newer Intel doesn't have any equivalent process, and it sounds like they will be doing some products on TSMC at N3? If you did a histogram of wafers by effective feature size I think the shapes for Intel and TSMC would be very different but we know TSMC has at least two big customers selling N4 product today (Apple and NVIDIA).
How would you react if someone came in and said "there is no real gravity; it's just that the earth loves us very much"? Or "there are no viruses and bacteria; we get sick from bad air and evil spirits"?

That's more or less the level of wrong that deepstack is. The Big 5 Personality Inventory is probably the most robust, reproducible piece of psychological science we've got, and while there might be arguments that it needs more nuance in places, the bare existence of introversion and extraversion as traits is not even slightly in question in the scientific community.

Your feeling that it might not be true—or that I'm "overly confident" in its truth—just doesn't hold up to decades of scientific consensus.
American Physical Society Tutorial Papers
There is a summary of what this means from their first press release:

https://journals.aps.org/prxquantum/edannounce/new-in-prx-qu...

"PRX Quantum began publishing Tutorials to help the quantum community educate the next generation of quantum scientists. Rather than provide a comprehensive overview of the field, as is typically found in a Review paper, Tutorials are hands-on guides written by experts invited by the editorial leadership of the journal. Tutorials focus on the essential knowledge and relevant references that will allow newcomers to a research field, approach, or methodology efficiently move forward with their work. For example, they should ideally help researchers migrate to a new field, bridge knowledge gaps for interdisciplinary collaborators, and contribute to the education and development of PhD students and postdocs. They focus on explaining well-established milestone concepts, the latest techniques, and developments in the field, providing a flavor of current research."
I guess maybe it'll have a chance with low-profile "Meta glasses". The joy of smartphones is their ubiquity and super low friction to use - until one can easily pull out the AR during a boring moment in a restaurant I can't see it having the same draw.
This sounds way worse than email in the spamhaus etc blacklist sense, because all new instances will have to go round all the existing instances asking to be recognized as a "good" instance. This is very centralizing.

Yes, wrong way to think about it. You want the conversation to immediately be about something you find interesting. You have to learn to use small talk to get to the big talk, otherwise you won't get to have those interesting conversations you want. There are no shortcuts there, following basic conversational norms are table stakes.
Thanks for the refreshingly honest response. I like the idea of using a low-friction bounce board of raw thoughts and ideas, some of which may graduate to a blog post. I will continue to use Nicheless. Cheers!

> TBF you may need custom codepaths because defaults diverge as well, IIRC postgres and sqlite default to ESCAPE '\' while mssql and oracle default to ESCAPE '' (the latter being the actual spec behaviour).

The trick is to just avoid the default, and always use an explicit ESCAPE, which should work the same on every database (except mysql without NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES in which you also have to escape the backslash itself, otherwise it will escape the closing quote and get very confused, but that issue can be avoided by using a character other than backslash as the escape character).
The view from below of the boosters after entry burn where you can clearly see they're not just falling straight down but actually achieving some horizontal velocity across the ground was really cool. I've always known that they had some cross-range capability, but this was a really excellent visualization of it!
I predicted a LONG time ago that once we reached the physical limits computers would get bigger. Starting out with chiplet designs and then moving on to dinner-plate type systems such as Cerebras.

Our computers will become larger in size, maybe the size of a fridge in a couple of decades. Power requirements too will increase.

I'm still hoping some wondrous material will be invented which will allow us to shrink chips still further. But it's obvious there's a limit how far we can go. The theoretical limit is still way off, though. It's about several million times the speed of current CPU's.
Well personally I'd rather not be any of the 1.35 million annual road deaths. It wouldn't make a huge difference to me if I was one of the 0.000001% got by a Tesla or one of the other ones.

The trick, in my experience, is to use very fast drying joint compound always in powder. You can mix joint compound that will dry faster than you can put it up, which enables you to put multiple coats on. Sanding stinks, but if you've a good hand you can minimize the amount of post skim finish work.

Used this technique to rip out and then match a ceiling in a bathroom, and also to patch up work after some HVAC dudes blew part of a wall out for mini splits.

It was tough to learn as there is a knack, but paid off. Having good hand eye coordination pays off in many ways.

The most important part was learning from an experienced person: "No wall on earth is perfectly flat, you just want it to look flat." Good advice, especially in a town (Philly) where there are old houses with not a square corner in the whole place. :)
I think the main reason for the "introverts" draining, is a set of preconceived notions about social interactions, they expect certain answers and not receiving them will be frustrating and confusing.

Therefore, the best thing they can learn is to be "outcome independent" in all their social interactions.
If a bank left $1b of cash at a bus stop and somebody takes it, it's not an explicit bank robbery, but it's still a theft.

This however is worse, as the property they were negligent with wasn't their own property. It's the bank taking your safe deposit contents and leaving it at the bus stop.
The enduring sexism of India’s tech industry
What is this obsession with the Amazon? There are far more important things to worry about here. This is a profoundly unequal and violent country. We don't have universal basic sanitation. Right now it's descending into chaos, people are already protesting the election of this socialist by closing down major roads. It looks like Lula supporters are going to meet them head on in the streets and it seems like they are armed, ironically. All this is happening right now and uncomfortably close to my home.

But all people talk about is the goddamn Amazon?
I think that due to how much F9 has managed to eat into FH's market, FH flights we see are more likely to only happen when the payload is heavy enough to need the center core to be expended.

For example, for a GTO insertion, an expended F9 can do 8.3t while a completely reusable FH can do 8t, but the expended F9 is going to be cheaper overall. Thus FH is only worth using when the payload is heavy enough to require at least the center core to be spent. This might be different for Lunar payloads though.
I wish I had time to have built that part myself! I'm leaning heavily on open source plugins like these [1][2]. The gradients are representative of elevation. So red = highest points along the trail and green = lowest points. Where you see sharp gradients from green to red is where the steepest slopes are. There is slope graph that can be setup in the plugin configuration.

I consider all of those as nice-to-haves. We have over 7B people in the world and got to this point without the technologies you mentioned.

We already have the technologies today to allow people to live way longer than would otherwise be possible, to find and use any natural resources the planet has, and to dominate any other organism that could threaten our lives. I’m content with that.
Nice project, sleek UI and performant. Didn't realize Indiana had hills like that!
Twitter is not a technical problem. We as a society are simply unable to wield such a tool in any useful way.

When you combine three obvious truths:

* people are tribal to the point of irrationality

* controversial clickbait bullshit travels fast and right to page 1, erudite corrections go on page 7 and are cheerfully ignored (see point 1)

* people don't listen, they wait to talk

There is no value in giving everyone such a platform. It achieves no useful purpose whatsoever that cannot be achieved more neutrally, deliberately, and less sensationally.

On Bullshit is required reading.
I would certainly like to see more attempts as time goes on.

My experience may have been specific and circumstantial, but somehow, Google Plus for a while was some perfect utopian Star Trek ideal of what Social Network should be like.

* Circles that were super easy to use and organize. All other social networks work hard to deter you from organizing and customizing your feed

* Enormous amount of good content and easy curation and sharing. People would make Circles of e.g. "Really Good Photographers" or "Interesting Physicists", and then share those circles. So in the morning I could go "Hey I'd like to read a bit about interesting physics" and click my Physicists circle, and in the afternoon I could say "I want to see some pretty photos" and see various photographers.

* It was good for customizing both content consumption as per above, but also content creation & sharing - I have a funny IT joke, I'll share it to my "Coworkers" and "Coding nerds" circles. I've done a really great wedding shoot this weekend, I'll share it to my "Photonerds" circle. etc.

It was genuinely amazing and awesome and perfect, for me.

Everything since has been actively moving away.
