Voice assistants are useless tech that has been shoved down the users throat to attempt to gain adoption. Google attempted to hold me hostage to this with android auto. Previously: voice recognition worked just fine. At some point they decided to integrate their stupid voice assistant, which probably was the same back end anyway… but now it required all sorts of permissions (like web and search history) just to do basic things like send a text message.

Lost yet another another use to ios.

No wonder it's not doing great. There's zero progress in this sphere. Google Assistant if anything, feels worse today than many years ago.
In C++ you'd want to still also offer std::mutex because C++ doesn't have Zero Size Types, so a C++ Mutex<T> equivalent would always need space to store something. Mutex<()> is the same size as a hypothetical "mutex only" type and so Rust has no reason to offer a separate type representing a mutex which doesn't protect anything in particular.

In fact even without actually putting anything of substance in the mutex, you can get value from type system judo using this mechanism, which C++ doesn't appear to do either.

Most likely wrong if you compare to how most other development in engineering happened.

From my point of view, the most likely path towards some form of weakly general intelligence at this point is emergence. We keep working on these narrow problems and from the broadening networks at some point we end up with something indistinguishable from a general ai inadvertently.

BREAKING NEWS. Thats how news works.
I don't get it.
Can someone kindly explain it to my smooth brain?
I think the problem is that a lot of PKM articles are about _the PKM_, rather than the knowledge captured. Endless articles about 'hammers and chisels' in abstract, and not about 'woodworking', or how to use a chisel to accomplish a certain task during woodworking.

However, it's rare that I actually see articles talking about WHAT they capture. They never put the PKM into context. So again a lot of these articles feel like 'just take notes, DUH!'...and yes that's mainly what it comes down to. But with blog post after blog post, there seems to be so much added 'ceremony' to note taking. If there wasn't so much ceremony, one blog post would likely do. Adding all this ceremony just feels like you (the amorphous 'you') are trying to complicate the process so that you can monetise the solution.

If some of these articles explained their thought process about capture and organisation in a real world context, rather than just the abstract notion of 'tags are good', 'organisation is good', 'notes let you follow up on stuff later!', they wouldn't seem so vacuous.

I generally am also quite interested in PKM, and have maintained a git repo of markdown for the best part of a decade, augmented with pinboard and goodnotes for bookmarks and handwriting respectively. I've tried various tools such as evernote, obsidian, physical notebooks, zettelkasten, personally hosted wikis, tiddlywiki, trello, onenote, zenodo, mendeley etc over the years, and even wrote my own bookmarking solutions and CLI tools.
You can be a whistleblower, you can be a journalist. I don't think you can be both. It's the job of a journalist to keep personal grudges out. It would be their job to keep political bias out too, but I guess we can't have that.
I just wonder why all that can't be uploaded into Library Genesis? They already have the distribution part sorted out (IPFS, Torrent, even ed2k!).
A couple of NPR shows have covered this. Disability is a federal program and states (especially poor states) are motivated to get their unemployed people off of state benefits (like unemployment) and onto disability. For one, it saves the state money and it also removes those people from the state’s unemployment number.

https://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/

> There's no diagnosis called disability. You don't go to the doctor and the doctor says, "We've run the tests and it looks like you have disability." It's squishy enough that you can end up with one person with high blood pressure who is labeled disabled and another who is not.
This is like telling someone who got a terrible haircut that they should have shaved their head instead. If they got a haircut it's because they wanted a haircut not a shaved head.
Lots of people were saying he was gonna win, including me to everyone around me. It's not that we were so smart, I'm sure of that because Michael Moore is an idiot much of the time.

Nobody cares, though, what he thought he was doing. In social justice circles, we talk about impact being what matters, not intention. There's a lot of impact that he has to answer for.

Are you sure it's not a resonance elsewhere?
(disclaimer: former Yahoo employee)

Yahoo at the time was clearly underestimated from a developer point of view. Everyone just saw them losing ground to Google in web search, but they had a really strong development team at the time. Lots of great stuff was open sourced, even though they did not win the same status as Google

- YUI was a really good frontend framework based on components and events. It was so easy to create complex interfaces compared to others at the time.

- Hadoop open sourced big data management

- Vespa was a really good search engine in terms of performance and functionality. It seems to still be alive at http://vespa.ai

- They provided several useful APIs without the restrictions that Google and others often placed on their products.

They made some bad strategic decisions and other business decisions, but they had a lot of exciting technology that was often overlooked.
Intel will sell you a CPU with high end features you can't use until you pay and obtain a license to unlock them.
>Critical thought is the fundamental of education.

I haven't seen any school that explicitly and effectively teaches critical thought. Many seem rather offended by it. As to your main point, I wonder if you've heard of Brian Caplan's "The Case Against Education"? In it, he (a Ph.D professor of Economics) ruthlessly analyzes exactly what you mention in the end, examining the actual provided value of higher education and concludes that for both the individual and society, it's rather shockingly overvalued. If you want a very data-driven analysis of the question of the current value of higher education, I haven't seen a better one.
They're half-baked and I sense consumers starting to lose interest. Third party developers have to do a big deal with Amazon to have a "skill", rather than having an open marketplace where consumers can choose what their device will do? The devices don't really cover all the things consumers might want from them. Years ago, I had assumed Google or Amazon would launch a marketplace akin to Google Play and whoever got there first would be the category winner. Instead, the category became a race to the bottom. Big tech cynically chasing the big deals rather than opening up the platforms.
All the discussion here seems focused on mitigation of upsets. What about total dose? Clever architectures and error correction don't mitigate that. Effective shielding is impractically heavy. You really need total dose hardness at the process level and that severely limits your choices and performance.
Thank you kindly. :)

Refactoring components in React with custom hooks
IMO, Personal databases are really underrated. They can effectively replace a lot of "apps" while adapting them to our exact custom use-cases.

The problem of LibreOffice Base is that it is still replicating a 90s Access-like user experience. Tutorial like this one will not mitigate this problem, especially that users those days are more and more used to "newer generation" services like Notion.
I don't follow anything, the big and important things either bubble up on places like HN/reddit or I'll find them when I need to (if I'm working on a specific problem, I can always look up what the latest / state of the art solutions are).

> This is just edgelord stuff.

Did you accidentally reply to your own post?

The person pointed out that the NYT and journalists more broadly engage in overt propaganda — eg, lying about the Hunter Biden laptop during an election. And so the distinction the person above them was drawing between “journalists” and politically motivated actors is nonsense: the mainstream journalists routinely spread propaganda as a core part of their work.

I think you made a vapid edgelord post because you don’t have a real defense to your position:

“Guys, guys — I really trust the people who lied about Iraq WMDs to tell me the truth about Ukraine!”
Indeed. Store it all on some high-to-low blu-ray, and the media is good for 10000 years. Way less rot than paper.

As others have said, circumstances have changed (Brexit).

The handling of Covid was a reminder too. Consistently rules would (or would not) be made in the south, yet here in Scotland we'd have a firmer stance and/or clearer guidelines to follow. For example, lifting mask rules and so on. I know opinions differ on this subject, for many people that I know the difference in the Scottish gov's handling was appreciated.

It's also interesting looking at result maps for the Brexit vote and the last General Election. These maps show the Scotland / England border, yet that's just a result of showing the differences in how these nations vote.
"Someone has to say it:" It's weird that they are pretending to do some cutting edge/against-the-grain journalism/research in this article.
It does. "Hey Siri, set a timer for 45 minutes called pasta bake", "Hey Siri, how long left on pasta bake?" works.
Most real world situations are often modelled in simulation software now. Look up CFD / FEA. Only the very early front end engineering design is applying engineering science on paper.

Other than that it's the tribal knowledge of the company and a smattering of "what we did before" + what the supplier can provide, that drives new designs/mechanisms etc.

In Civil engineering everything is designed to building codes so they should have standard templates for showing that the thing they are building is up to code and have it signed off by a Chartered/Professional Engineer.

Probably less than 5% of an engineering company today is actually doing math / working through free body diagrams and calculating component cross sections based on strength of materials / engineering statics and dynamics principles.

> have been fine

Citation needed, there's a lot of disagreements and misunderstandings (some have cost lives) that could've been avoided if we didn't have 10 different ways to say the same vague thing that can be interpreted in 20 ways. You think the military uses a phonetic alphabet and specifically structured communications for fun? Or the way planes talk to ATC for example. Where precision and unambiguity is crucial, natural language always gets ditched for something more formal.

For a moment, I thought the article would be about ORM. oh, is it? :P
I think there is a semantic difference.

To me, "How to explain the..." is a statement of fact. "I'm going to tell you how to explain...". The "I'm going to tell you" is unwieldy for the title of an article, so it's omitted.

"How do you explain the..." is a question. Saying "I'm going to tell you how do you explain the..." sounds ungrammatical.
There is an artist's gallery in my town. The artist sells lots of pieces (or tries to; no idea how successful). If I go and look at each piece, really take it in and absorb it fully and internalize it, but buy nothing, have I done the thing that's not exactly like stealing?

If I download a PDF and read it and then delete it as soon as I am done, have I done the thing that is not exactly like stealing?

If I go to a library and read that same book in its entirety without checking it out ... doesn't seem much different than reading and then deleting a PDF.

Stealing someone else's book definitely seems wrong, but reading it while you are visiting their house seems fine?

I am not claiming to know the right (ethical, moral, whatever) action here. I just have a super huge problem calling it "piracy" or "stealing" or whatever. Figuring out a way to support creators is hugely important, but criminalizing the mere viewing or hearing of art/music/words/etc seems extremely wrong.

Anyway, I've been thinking about all this since at least Napster and I still have no idea really.
"hey siri, when I get home every day, turn on all of the lights, change my focus to personal, and turn on the news"

I think the problem with that is that even I, as a human, struggle to know for sure what you want.

You want to turn all the lights on in the house? Does that include the lamps in the bedroom? How about new lights that you add later? Or the ones in the garden? It's full of ambiguity. What device do you want to watch the news on? Or did you mean the radio? Do you want this to apply when you get back at 2am one night, meaning your family gets woken up when you turn on all the lights and start playing the news in their bedrooms?

I think that's probably why voice interfaces aren't likely to work well for anything beyond direct, specific, well-scoped requests: turn on the lights in the bedroom; turn off the heating at home; roll up the blinds; what's the weather like today; what's the remaining range on my car. They really struggle to deal with anything more complex – not so bad in theory, but really incredibly irritating when they make the wrong decision.

If you had some kind of 24-hour live-in assistant (a butler, maybe?), then they probably have the knowledge and intuition to make sensible decisions in response to fairly unstructured requests. But I think we're miles off getting a voice assistant to do it – not because they can't, necessarily, but because if they mess it up at all it's infuriating.
But teams hasn't figured out how to send text in a coherent way.

It's used because companies can cheap out on buying a license for other communication applications, it is fundamentally worse than anything else in any other metric. If voice lets me respond to a message without hunting for the hidden reply because Teams shoves it below the bottom of the screen then it could be a win.
Considering UX is so low for Teams I doubt it will.
Getters and setters will also desynchronize for similar reasons (new properties being added/removed).

In JS you're better served by proxies or to set things up ahead of time so you're not passing a direct object reference, but a mirror instead.

<https://bracha.org/mirrors.pdf>

Once you've got all relevant consumers using a mirror or a proxy and all access is therefore mediated, that's when you can freely perform these kind of swaps.

As noted by the commenters, however, this is quite a heavyweight solution.

Related:

> Inside the engine, a clever trick from Smalltalk called `becomes` is used to swap a newborn Proxy and an existing object that has arbitrarily many live references. Thus an object requiring no behavioral intercession can avoid the overhead of traps until it escapes from a same-origin or same-thread context, and only if it does escape through a barrier will it become a trapping Proxy whose handler accesses the original object after performing access control checks or mutual exclusion.

> The local jargon for such object/Proxy swapping is “brain transplants”.

UK held an EU membership referendum in 1975, with 67% in support for being in. In fact the UK had been in for 2.5 years at that point so really that was a "remain or Brexit" referendum. And yes 40 years ago it had another one.

That was written for the referendum of 2014. Today of course, the situation is completely different.
There’s still not been an “official call” on this either by Poland or the US. And Ukraine still insists they weren’t their missiles and insisting they have access to the investigation. It’s very peculiar.

My personal view. They were Russian missiles, but it was 100% an error. NATO doesn’t want to have to respond so they blame Ukraine, Ukraine will use this to negotiate more weapons and air defenses.

There is a monetization path, but not likely easy like selling direct to consumers. As others have commented - voice (and google glass!!) are useful when you don't have hands. For example, a dentist frequently needs to look at the computer screen or have the computer screen change a display while they are in the chair working on a patient. Making a command via voice seems useful (change to the next screen, etc) and/or also potentially showing some data in a heads up display. Another vertical could be hospital - being able to use a generic voice UI to turn on the lights and summon help seems useful.

Is the monetization path hard - yes. Trying to break into specific industries takes a ton of work. Additionally - you already have staff in these cases. Would a dentist get rid of her assistant for some voice commands? not likely. A hospital still needs nurses.
