I'm not sure if they meet your definition of being well-written exactly as you say above, but these are extremely well-written math books.

This isn't a math book, but I was also a big fan of "Vector Quantization and Signal Compression" by Gersho and Gray.
Not much harder than finding an HDMI cable assuming the USB has a marking.

Especially if faster USB ever gets mainstream and higher spec cables become more common.

If you have a fast USB-C external drive you might be able to use the cable you got for that.

With dedicated monitor cables, they're not good for anything else. Unless you explicitly bought a spare, your only choice is to go buy one.

In the most common case the cable will probably come with the monitor, and one end will just remain attached to it, not much confusion there.

At the moment it seems people use a lot of C to HDMI or C to DP adapters, so almost nothing changed other that the device side connector no longer having a bulky waste of space or delicate microHDMI that always seems poorly made if you get cheap adapters.

To defend the website, it can still be argued to be called AI. Rule based methods are still said by some to be a section of AI.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule-based_system

I understand that nowadays when we think of AI we imagine deep learning and neural networks, but nowhere on the website does it claim that that is the case.

Think of ELIZA for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

One of the earliest chatbots. Entirely rule based, but from the historical perspective undeniably classed as AI.
I appreciate the correction; 230 visits per year across the US is indeed significantly different from 19 visits per year.

But this corrected statistic still paints an overall picture of an almost insignificant risk, hundreds of times smaller than being struck by lightning — more like the injury and death rates of shark attacks, falling cows, cactus spine injuries, slipping on orange peels, and fights between humans and roosters.

This hardly seems like an adequate justification for extensive new restrictions on valuable experimental materials. It seems more like the EU's unreasonable new restrictions on access to borax.
Does this beta has any roadmap to become "stable"? The issue with FSD is the corner cases and I doubt we will see real FSD anytime soon. I would say the beta FSD is the equivalent of an intoxicated driver.
Deep learning is not statistical aggregation, but still wouldn't solve the very example OP and I are talking about.

Deep learning is not smart nor is able to replace actual ears and understanding of music. Even a random recommendation system would be able to surprise once in a while.

Personally, I think Spotify's system is terrible and gives me a good suggestion every 100 wrong ones.
This is a problem that is so incredibly solved it has spawned a giant industry of SaaS providers preying on the fact that a lot of engineering managers don't really understand simplicity. Raking in the cash without doing much of anything.

The slow cooker is a very handy appliance for people who feel they have little time to cook, but it's not one I ever find myself using. I have never had anything that could be described as a quality meal out of one.
I've been using Last.fm for ~15 years now. I love to see my stats -even if I don't listen to music as much as I did when I was a teenager-. In the process of keeping my profile accurate I developed an open source tool (Open Scrobbler[1]) which ended up being used by thousands of users. Even now that last.fm is not as active as it was 10 years ago, the project is self-sufficient through its Patreon. I've also used it as talking point on job interviews as well. I'm very grateful for all the experiences and people I met thanks to last.fm!

> they just need to stop artificially limiting what iPadOS can do

I wish they would add a touch screen and pen input to their laptops.
> The installation process, and the documentation behind it, lead to the third virtue: a complete installation tends to be very small and simple, because you only install the bits you need. If you don't know what bits you need, the documentation will help you to work it out, and the result is something that is both fairly minimal and that, with luck, you understand. You know what's in there because you installed it.

I feel this gets to the core of why I like Arch so much. I’m a Linux novice, so for a long time I ran Ubuntu VMs when I needed to do stuff on Linux (this being before WSL). It worked well enough, but I never really felt that I properly knew what I was doing.

Then I tried installing Arch in a VM… and it took me several days and several attempts, but when I finally got it working I felt, for the first time ever, like I actually understood the system I was using. Now I have a webserver running Arch, and only a week or two ago installed Arch on an old PC to see if I could get a desktop working.

Of course, Arch is not easy, especially for a non-expert such as myself. Sometimes I have no idea how to solve a problem, or even what kind of software I need in the first place. For this reason, I’m planning to install Debian instead on the new laptop I’ve ordered (to replace my ~10 year old machine running Windows), in the hopes that it might have more stuff working out of the box. Still, I’d say that trying out Arch has immeasurably improved my knowledge, not just of Linux but of the underlying concepts behind modern computing.

(Oh, and the documentation’s amazing too!)
Who is the author? A Google search for this title didn't narrow it down clearly for me. Cheers!
They're implying it resulted in 3x the fuel economy (20% burnup) when in reality it is half by hiding the important figures (20% enrichment rather than 3.5%, and it adds a lot of other mass to the fuel that is difficult to remove when you need to store it). So that you'll assume that the bit they didn't mention is normal rather than very unusual.

An analogue would be advertising a new car that gets 150mpg, but not mentioning the fuel it uses is a special exotic fuel not made in many existing refineries that requires 6x as much oil and you need 9 gallons of non-fuel to run through the engine for every gallon rather than 0.2.

Every single statistic nuclear proponents cite that can be easily checked in a few minutes is either technically true but designed to mislead like this one, or an outright lie. It makes it very hard to believe the things that cannot be easily checked.

In all likelihood one or more of the SMR concepts around is safe and economically viable enough to fill an important niche, but when all information they mention turns out to be lies it's kinda hard to trust.
My personal guess: if Gmail stayed in beta for 5 years after it was opened to the general public, and it was "just" an email service where the only unknowns are how people and servers will abuse the SMTP protocol... then Tesla's FSD will probably stay in beta forever :-)
It is a matter of trust, but by choosing a VPN you are not limited in your options by your geographical location as is the case with an ISP.

Obviously not. If something has a negative value for society, it doesn't make sense to incentivize its ownership or use. I also think methamphetamine has a net negative value (perhaps outside of certain narrow medical uses), but I won't pay you $100 to take meth.

But if you manage to abolish cryptocurrency, or meth for that matter, then I will gladly pay you $100.

Nah it’s on PHP 7.x those are just very old docs.

I’m no longer involved with the GNU project so the site is in a weird state where the GNU docs are stuck in time. I do need to do a better job of pointing people to what’s out there though. I am considering a rewrite in modern PHP.
You can also use immutable/persistent data structures and GC, which gives the same safety from bugs, but is much cheaper from the perspective of precious time spent.
I think it's more appropriate to say Arch is "simple" instead of "minimal". It does not sacrifice features. It does things in the simpliest way.
I’ve always been interested in writing VSTs, but haven’t really known where to start (I also need a motivating idea for one, but I’m sure that would come.) Do you have any resources that you would recommend for an experienced programmer and composer?

Don't waste time trying to label me as a caricature of the side you don't like. Politic ideology make people say ridiculous things like calling someone sending money to his elderly mother a global aggressor. It doesn't matter if it's left or right.
Working at the Command Line is a superpower especially when combined with auto-suggestions from tools such as zsh + oh-my-zsh.

I would be completely lost if I didn’t have the auto suggestions as my “second brain” !

One problem though — to run a variant of an existing previous command, I find myself editing super long command lines, I.e bring up a previous command by accepting the auto-suggestion, then Ctl-b thru it and make an edit to run a new variant. This made me wonder: is there some tool that presents a TUI type of 2-dimensional interface that lets me navigate through the various options using arrow keys etc ?
1. The change does exist (although it apparently has been live for quite some time in some regions at least)

2. The change does have the effect of Google gaining more permissions (and subsequently more data) than previously

3. The author assumes that (2) is the (main) reason why (1) was done in the first place

Regardless of whether (3) is correct or completely wrong - and regardless of whether the author truly believes (3), or only uses it as a rhetorical trick to increase the controversy (and therefore the reach) of their post - both (1) and (2) remain fact.

And (2) is the actual problem here - regardless of whether it was done intentionally by Google or not.
> stop artificially limiting what iPadOS can do

Why would they do that when it would remove the incentive for their customers to buy one of each?

Give the iPad range Mac features, and it'd cannibalize Macbook sales from the bottom up. Give the Macbook a touchscreen, 5G, and the ability to run iPadOS apps, and it'd cannibalize iPad Pro sales from the top down. Neither of these are in Apple's commercial best interests.
That is absolutely not the reason. It's because slow cookers generally cook at a high temperature for far longer, resulting in far more muted flavours. People generally don't leave a stew to cook for that many hours when using the stovetop, since they pull it when it's ready. The weird "slow cooker flavour" is simply due to overcooking.

A wonderful idea!

Of course, you’d need to negotiate a treaty with the US before you left your farm. And you probably need a way to protect yourself—if I come and kill you, who’d enforce the law?! (You have laws, don’t you?). And what about trade?

Declaring your farm a country is probably more trouble than it’s worth—-but what about your state or region? Wouldn’t it be nice to belong to a right-sized political system? One where you know and have access to your political representatives? Wouldn’t it be nice to set policy based on what you and your neighbors think, without a care about the opinions of strangers who live thousands of miles away (and have their own problems and concerns)?

Sure you’d miss the single market—-but you don’t need political union for that. Nor do you need political union to provide for the common defense.

The fact that an idea appears impractical at first glance is no reason to reject it. Remember when democracy was generally understood to be impracticable?
> GUIs are just a distraction.

That's an unnecessarily polarizing statement.

No one paradigm serves all needs. I use GUIs if the tool needed is complex, and I'm not familiar with it; a well-done GUI is much more discoverable than a CLI.

I also use GUIs if the output is more than one-dimensional. Image editors is an obvious case, but how about spreadsheets? And, I love SmartGit because it shows the log and diffs in a much more intuitive and interactive way than even tig.

Note that I'm a bash-boy from way back, and spend time every day using it, interactively and in scripts. CLIs are great when they match my tasks. But they aren't the be-all and end-all.

Beyond the differences in task, I'm sure there are people whose needs are consistently best-served with CLIs (you sound like one). Just like there are people who consistently go to GUIs for their tools.

So: just because you view the world of tools in a certain way doesn't mean everyone else should as well.
Nicely done; this seems to work for me. In my own attempt, I got stock Stable Diffusion 2.0 "working" on M1 using the GPU but it's producing some of the most cursed (and low-res) images I've ever seen, so I've definitely got it wrong somewhere. The reader can infer the usual rant about dynamic typing causing runtime misconfiguration in Python.
Plugins for various things - browsers (Firefox / Chrome extensions), apps (Figma), and platform providers (Salesforce, Shopify, etc).

> Well, I can't see the value of wasting so much energy for something looking for problems to solve.

The energy is being paid for though, so it's competing in the same energy market as everything else. "Waste" becomes entirely subjective at that point.

Also, Ethereum is now proof of stake, reducing it's power usage by something like 95%. PoS has its own pros and cons though.

> Also the idea of replacing monetary systems built since the beginning of written history in a decade with cryptocurrencies is a bit naive.

That's why I say it's still new despite being 13 years old. It's naive to think it's already failed when it's barely learnt to walk.

Happy to be either totally ignored or told where I'm wrong.
I don’t think any deadman’s switch has been confirmed by Wikileaks. They did however publish insurance files which are supposed to contain full unredacted archives of various leaks.
One such insurance file was exposed when an either incompetent or malicious journalist at the guardian revealed the encryption key in a publication.

A deadman’s switch would be a specific mechanism to reveal such key. But the existence of it has to my knowledge never been confirmed by WL.
Huh? I just purchased an iPad Air M1 as a laptop replacement. With stage manager supporting external displays as of iPadOS 16.2, an iPad really is just a laptop without a keyboard.

Combine it with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, hook it up to an external display, and it's hard to distinguish from any other desktop computer. Remove everything, and it's the optimal size to consume books and video on the couch. Combine it with a Pen, it's perfect for photo editing or drawing. Connect it to your guitar or midi instrument, and it's perfect for making music.

Funny thing is, i'm starting to use the ipad as a keyboard alternative more and more, text dictation often feels more convenient than typing.

Sure, for programming you'll probably want to ssh into another machine (using blink, which also provides visual studio code on the ipad), but that's maybe 5% of my home use of a computer.

This is not always guaranteed and you may not have a choice regarding this once you pass a certain stage in your career. It also depends on your industry and the part of the world you live and work in. Work life balance is notoriously non-existent for a vast portion of the world's IT workers.
Here, let me explain how it works!

Let’s say you have 15 engineers and they each have their own laptop computer. Each of these engineers generates a pair of cryptographic keys, one public and one private.

Each engineer then gives their public key to the trusted authority that operates the ccache server. Only code that is submitted and signed by a respective private key is built and then distributed to the rest of the engineers.
This is the right advise. If you have the rare talent to build a 100K startup, you have also what it takes to execute above 1M. Stress and competition are the same.

Webmention depends on the original source to link back to those comments for discovery though, right? I think perhaps a better approach would be a way to comment on any URL and see comments from other users (or communities) that you have subscribed to. That way the author of the content being discussed is not in a position to limit the discussion to what they approve of and you can discuss things that are not even opted into this system.

Ideally this system would also be integrated into browsers you you can see and write comments even when visiting a URL directly.

Not read the article yet, but this is something that is new to me but probably shouldn't be. Hopefully I'll remember it next time it might be useful!

Also scanning the sort documentation for other bits I'd not remembered/known, I notice --parallel=n – I'd just assumed sort was single-threaded, where it is not only capable of multicore sorting but does so by default. Useful to know when deciding when to do things concurrently by other means.
