Tbf that ever extending timer is your average star trek ship self destruct sequence.
It isn't actually running any commands. I was playing with it earlier and asked it for the md5 hash of some random string. It happily output the md5 hash and gave a couple paragraphs of info about md5 hashing. Except, it wasn't the correct hash. It was just some random string that is a valid md5 hash for... something. It is a language model, not a computer, and it certainly isn't a virtual machine, although it will happily pretend to be!

Edit: This was literally working 2 minutes ago and now when asking for a hash I get this:

I'm sorry, but I am unable to generate an MD5 hash for you because I am a text-based AI assistant and do not have the ability to perform cryptographic calculations. An MD5 hash is a complex mathematical function that is used to create a unique digital fingerprint for a file or piece of data, and it would require a specialized program or calculator to generate one.
> 2. A decent widget showing your streak of not breaking the chain.

>> It'll come. I initially wanted to focus on the core experience and remove tracking friction.

I use the widgets to specifically remove as much friction to start the habit set and keep the feedback loop constantly in front of me.

> 3. Timers for each habit item, which then allows you to mark as complete to auto start the next habit and timer, or pause if one is taking a little longer.

>> Interesting. It's the first time I come across timers for habits. How long have you been using timers? I'd love to hear if the timers stick around for you after a few months of tracking.

I’ve been using the pomodoro technique for years and habit timers definitely have that same feeling for me. If I’m still trying to instill the same habit set for more than 3 months, I’d consider the app/habit set a failure. I’m looking to start habits, ingrain them, then move onto creating new habit stacks once it becomes rote.

> 4. Syncs to multiple devices - watch, iPad, phone, etc. I see you can export out of the app but syncing would be helpful.

>> This one is currently supported by Flat Habits, though purposely hidden until it can be exposed more seamlessly. If you want to try it, first export to a location outside the app (maybe Documents directory?). Then import and select "in-place". Import from your iPad "in-place" also and you get the two syncing.

Thanks for that!

> 5. As someone noted in another comment: A way to export and/or print a habit tracker so as to get away from the phone and tech and only come back to log it on the device, should I choose to and snap a quick photo that gets OCR’ed to update the app stats. Maybe a pocketmod.com format could work?

>> Interesting idea, speciallyl using OCR to feed back into the app.

Would love to see this since it’s easy to do paper tracking but then there’s no way to integrate the data digitally without a whole other manual process, which is just too much. Melding offline and online would be killer in this space since, like someone noted elsewhere, one of the main habits I’d like to instill is to stop using the phone for everything. So it’s a bit of a catch-22 currently.
Try to build something that makes the world a better place. This is extremely difficult, so joining others with the same aim can work better. At that point tech is no longer an aim in itself but just a means to accomplish something important. And the it becomes interesting, because you no longer focus on just the tech aspect but how it can be useful to your projects and hence other people, and it becomes doubly interesting (if it's actually useful - many modern trends are just distractions). It really works and I'm happy I took this path.
It's probably because they don't have the compute resources for this yet. I guess it would require a huge investment in hardware to release this to the masses.

Perhaps it is even prohibitively expensive.
We are all in this together*

*except the rich

So this is another measure to widen the gap between the rich and the pleb - when the pleb's travel gets restricted further, the rich can enjoy private jet hopping undisturbed - which gives them advantage over the pleb as they can get to places even quicker.

If we are serious about climate, then there should be no exceptions for the rich, in fact they should be leading by example.

I have serious reservations about India also ... but even if what you say is true (about production cost), isn't it very telling that companies are willing to move to higher production cost enviroments?

It's the price of relative independence and potentially less human rights issues.

It's simple isn't it: want less of a sh!t world, pay a price which doesn't exclude these externalities.
we would miss out on new customers

You're right about the thinking. But that thinking is flawed. Must product X be used by everyone? No, there are (literally) millions of customers out there - pick a segment and serve it well.
Even if you don't care about APA being a very weird business, the other chains that OP recommended are simply better. Cleaner, nicer, better service.

Avoid APA at all costs, especially outside touristic areas. APA is used by everyone for all things, legal or not, and the state of your room may vary wildly.
Wouldn't that make it Spacebnb
Yes, I do my best to avoid APA for this reason.

Other major business hotel chains:

* Toyoko Inn

* Dormy Inn (almost always has a bath on the top floor!)

* Candeo hotels (same!)

* M's hotels (there are many variations on the "M's" name)

* Unizo

* Smile hotel

* Hotel mystays

* Hotel livemax

* Daiwa Roynet

...and tons of others that are less universal. While there are subtle differences between them (e.g. some have better beds, others have laundry facilities, some have public baths on the top floor), virtually all "business hotels" have the same set of features, down to the layout of the rooms, and can usually be had for $50-$100 a night. That said, they are small, and you will not be happy if you're the kind of tourist who lugs multiple large suitcases everywhere you go, or if you're seeking a "luxury" experience.

Business hotels are cheap places to crash for a night and little more.
You need to install yak-shave-mode to make that more efficient.
APA hotel isn't a great choice for most (American) tourists anyway - the rooms are extremely small. Most customers seem to be solo Japanese businessmen.
The same situation for people visiting the US and they only ever go to some major US city like New York City or Los Angeles. Visit some place that's more than 100 miles from the ocean and isn't an urban downtown center.
But what about the morality/morality police?

Who are the supposed "non hardline faction inside the russian political sphere"? What's "russian political sphere"? This is pure fantasy.
I recently read The Rational Optimist, and it provided a refreshing perspective in a time where global events can often leave one feeling disheartened. Despite the challenges of climate change, political strife, wars in Europe, an energy crisis leading to financial instability, the book offered a much-needed reset for my mind.

Humanity has made incredible progress over the last centuries and decades, and it's important to maintain a sense of optimism.
Specifically because it's December, take a look at whitewater rafting in Chile on the Futaleufu River. Not cheap but looks absolutely amazing. (if it was summer I'd suggest Middle Fork of Idaho's Salmon River, which I've done and strongly recommend!)

You should really put some of this on your website. You don't have to air out all of the dirty laundry, but some clarity about what went wrong would be very helpful to people just learning about it.

That would also help explain what's Radix about and why they are the alternative you recommend.
This definitely applies to autocad though! A lot of the better products are perhaps a reaction to the bloat of older products.

That's some heartbleed shit right there.
You could at least trust how any government of a country with foreign investors would react to internal instability. An overthrow of the current government, which seems to be what you're advocating for, does not necessarily result in better outcomes for all.
Everyone's limit is different, but I would say that most people wouldn't consider contemporary Turkey (a republic speaking a Turkic language whose population is mostly Muslim) a continuation of the Eastern Roman empire in any but purely geographical meaning, so we have a fairly clean break around 1453, when the ruling elite in Constantinople was forcibly displaced by an entirely different group of people with other traditions, languages etc.

On the other hand, mere Christianization of the Roman Empire doesn't seem as crucial (pun intended) as to create a break in its statehood. Most of the institutions went on just like before, most of the important families stayed the same, the legal system and the language of the realm didn't change at all or only very little etc.

The republic period is more interesting, but I believe that the Romans considered themselves the same people and the some country in that period, without breaks in identity - which IMHO should matter more than a purely academic take from the early 21st century.
And probably when the profit starts to reach that level they can just change it again..
exactly that. It often seems correct, until you look up the actual answer. I was asking it how to unload models from triton server using the REST api, and the results seemed sensible.

However after googling the actual API, turns out ChatGPT's answer, while convincing, was utter rubbish.
André LaMothe?
Not my experience at all... I've used APA throughout the whole of Japan and they are consistently good. Especially in terms of furnishings and soundproofing. They're also extremely cheap and available in almost every city. What you say about the rooms could be said about basically any hotel of course.

I'm from the UK where even a crap hotel costs $80-100/night, so being able to pay under $40 for the quality APA provides (even if the rooms are small) is insane to me.
Bugs accumulate until people give up Yes - all those additonal (seldom used) features have costs ... more bugs, harder to use, slower app, more storage & memory.
Near Tokyo, you can visit the seaside towns, like Zushi or Enoshima, and get a small town feeling. But only on weekdays, as Tokyoites also want to flee the craziness from the city, and end up crowding the smaller places around it too.

North of Tokyo, you can reach Tsukuba, which is one of the most lovely towns in the Kanto region. Beautiful, spacious, very calm.

Yeah, navigating to the camera app doesn’t take long. But flipping a physical switch also doesn’t and startup times of both after the switch is flipped / app is started are about equal.

So: with my EVIL camera I also can be taking a photo about as fast as I can raise the camera.
My top tip is, since everyone loves Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, there's actually a fantastic natural trail network there that I saw no one on. It takes you out through a valley of smaller shrines and graves, and nearly to the top of the mountain still. Then you can take the gates walk on the way down if you still want that experience. The trail had a beautiful uninterrupted view of Kyoto from a natural clearing in the forest canopy. Some of my best photos were from that little diversion.
But such tools may help people overcome or reduce tension from cultural differences. As a Scandinavian, I prefer to be polite but very straight to the point in my emails. When communicating with some foreigners, their style makes me feel cold or impolite and I have to use a lot of time and effort to carefully word my emails more "humane". It feels awkward, unnecessary, and tiring, but I really don't want to offend anyone. Getting some help to master that style would be very helpful
One of the first books on programming I read made this argument too. Why learn programmin by making games? It's one of the most difficult kinds of programs to make successfully, so if you can master that you can do anything.

(It also had a rant about how Atari had a "gaming" reputation so people didn't buy them for office work. They would hypothetically have been great for it because video games are more demanding than word processing.)
Nice. The title should have a (2017)?
The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity
by David Graeber, David Wengrow

The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision, and a faith in the power of direct action.
>I… said I was dining out far less? I literally am one of the ones deciding to stay home and cook my own food and make my own drinks.

Sorry, that was too intense. I've never had that kind of economic security, so I reacted harshly since I've had some really rude people interact with me on and offline recently. I was off the mark in the tone of my comment, and I apologize for that.

(On my end, I keep having shit happen like I'm too depressed to cook because of a death or three, and someone picks that moment to abuse me for something like ordering with grubhub with a generous tip because I can't handle talking on the phone that day. Stuff like that makes you think your money is worthless, since the things you want to purchase will be forever beyond your reach even if you did become a billionaire rather than someone making ~70k in a low cost of living city.)

>I’m also confused how me tipping less would enable someone to short my companies stock when nowhere on my person does it say where I work.

I'm saying the barista might notice where you work and trade based on that information -- or give it to a friend who has enough $ to trade with. Hope that helps. (I know of at least one company that went completely "kaput" because of such a thing, paired with the fact the service worker knew it's unusual for folks to have a meeting outside the company cafeteria/campus/arcology

I agree - how many times have you watched your favorite movie? Favorite TV show? If only once you should watch it at least one more time.

I've only read the culture novels by Iain Banks once. I'm really looking forward to doing a second read in a few years. Thinking I might do audiobooks next time.
> Born and raised in China.

The OP made a good point that applies to all poor countries I've lived in: those jobs are the only (even the best) way out for most people to get out of poverty, which they do to help their families/children/themselves.

Maybe you were raised in a family that did not need to go through such hard labor, but that doesn't mean your right in your view of your own world ;)

P.S. I was also born and raised in a poor country.
"It is just a job."

Forget about feeling it, it pays the rent and allows you to of what you love / like. This is actually the way 80% of the employees make it through the day.
That's certainly one view, but on the other side, these people were well paid to begin with, and most of the severances I've seen are quite generous. So, given a few months off with some money, why not try out making one of those ideas floating in the back of your mind and write some new software (SaaS or an app or whatever). I remain hopeful that this will lead to another boom, just as soon as the fed stops raising rates.

Meaning the ones used by drunks, drug addicts, and prostitutes.
Do you expect that it will stop here? People usually overestimate the short-term changes and underestimate the long-term ones.
> It is not my responsibility to make sure the worker is paid a fair wage, it is the responsibility of their government and employer.

Can you vote? If you use said vote to ensure they aren't paid fairly, then you are engaged in abusive gaslighting to use this line of rhetoric rather than admit you do not want to pay a fair wage.
Well the prompt is there to provide agency isn't it?
"does not necessarily result in better outcomes for all"

You are right as far as the "there is always a worse alternative out there" observation goes. (Though I must note that this idea is rather trivial.)

But the alternative of tolerating the current regime on and on is pretty ghastly. If Iranians are ready to be shot dead in order to protest, the situation must be grim indeed.

I am not surprised the least that Russia and Iran now cooperate militarily. Birds of a feather flock together, and so do criminal regimes that waste lives of their own people.
So that’s why I’m so tolerant of those idiots on the other side of the political spectrum…

In all seriousness, as I don’t have access to the full text, I’m wondering how they measured tolerance in particular.
Scary. Longtermists are pretty shortsighted. We can’t predict the weather next year, how are we going to predict the state of humanity in 1000 years?

And hurting existing people is highly unethical. You must have ulterior motives if you deny that.
This is fair, how it is done in some places, and ideally how it would be done in the United States.
My recent experience doesn't count - frontiers shut down 2 days after I arrived, and therefore I lived a very unique Kyoto without tourists.

Truly. Even if you want to land in Tokyo (since lots of flight deals take you there or Osaka). Grab the Rail Pass before you fly in, then take the bullet train to any number of cities. You'll enjoy relatively low-cost travel thanks to the rail pass, and you'll get to see a bunch of cities that aren't as popular.
I get what the title is going for, but I feel obligated to mention that the word 'viable' covers the complaint. If you have only the set of features you need, that's an MVP.

The quote doesn't look like Swift's style of English; so I read that buzzkill article. What buzzkill attributes to Swift isn't the quote (or its origins), but the sentiment. Swift has nothing to say about how long it takes to put on shoes.

Skydio is too small to design their own chipset - they use Nvidia GPU onboard.

My comment was about people using neural network models for everything needed to fly a drone. I've seen models fail badly in ground based robots. They are flying a drone that's running so many models to be able to track, detect, localize, plan and fly. It's insane.

Jetson Nano can do stereo matching, and perhaps one can manage to even run multiple neural networks at the same time in inference mode. Getting it into production on real world systems is a whole different story. I can't imagine how Skydio manages to produce such robust and consistent outputs. I mean it kinda makes sense why Skydio is the first and the only company so far who's able to do it effectively - Adam's (CEO) been working on it for like more than 10 years now and his PhD thesis at MIT is awesome!

In the West we still have democracy - yes might be on its last few legs, but it's not too late, as the 2020 election showed - we the people just need to come together and be more organized and strategic and remove the corruption.

In the US or EU no political opposition was 'suicided' or disappeared in a Gulag like it happened in Russia multiple times.

Well, Saudi Arabia is morphing from a religious to a secular dictatorship right in front of our eyes. They (or, more precisely, MbS) are making a lot of concessions that do not matter to them anymore, like women being allowed to drive.
The point that “those jobs are the only (even the best) way out for most people to get out of poverty" stands. But the point that China has strict labor laws is laughable. The laws are indeed strict but seldom enforced.
People make a big fuss about the neuralink monkeys, which puzzles me. I think they're probably on the upper end of luxury on the bell curve scale of treatment of lab animals. It's low volume and clearly fairly decent treatment. If it was me I would start looking down towards less sexy companies which don't attract public scrutiny to see what they're doing. Better yet, spare a thought for "consumable" animals. Have a guess about how they treat birds used for down feathers for puffer jackets and such. Look it up if you're brave and haven't eaten recently.
