> I'd argue that if you're smart enough to be reading this website, you're smart enough to create and sell a piece of software to 10 businesses.

it's both fascinating and horrifying to think through reasons this doesn't happen, the many complications that get between raw ability/acumen/interest and such straightforward outcomes!
Good question. I think that is a major problem with electric vehicles (and modern cars in general). The abuse potential of such data is just too large, as is the invasion of privacy.
I mean, a nice feather in the hat of someone's resume. "Migrated legacy application to web-scale multi-region cloud"
Same. The only ones that seem to have problems are the ones that explicitly don’t support Linux via anti cheat or weird launchers or DRM. If it’s just a normal game, it runs fine.
Twigs has been parroting on about Green Hydrogen for at least a decade. I feel like every time he thinks FMG stock needs bit of a pump he'll yell something about Green Hydrogen ...
"Production of anything, including hydrogen produces a lot of additional emissions"

Why would you say that? I mean, some sort of pollutant emission is inevitable in any heavy industry, but there's no physical reason it has to involve the transfer of carbon that's been locked under the ground for 100s of millions of years into the atmosphere, which is the only thing we really need to stop doing (unless some sort of process for extracting it from the atmosphere again at the same rate we add it is feasible, which isn't looking particularly likely).
You can have many small states within a larger context, and each consumer component can choose which states it wants from the context. Basically it's a bunch of global variables.
The most dangerous thing about ChatGPT and “AI” in general is the horde of media editors, marketers and self-proclaimed influencers hyping it up. Aside from that, exciting times.
That's awesome, it does seem to be quite good at writing code. But in that case, you can test for it's weaknesses by asking it anything recent. The models are only trained on data through X date. Ask it something after X and it wont have the data to answer you correctly. Like about some new framework or feature.
There are a few homebrew releases that used WinCE, but that makes up something like 1% or less of homebrew software. I think there was some MP3 player, a 3D FPS that was never released, and a Duke3D port? Maybe a couple more? KallistiOS is, by far, the most popular choice, and is used in probably 98% of homebrew.
DAW developers have historically advised users not to upgrade MacOS versions until it is explicitly supported and professionals in the space resist updates at all costs.
It's not even that complicated with hardware of that era.

Let's say you are afraid to destroy the through holes of the multilayer PCB by de-soldering the broken parts, or heating bordering parts up too much, whatever.

In most cases you can pull the caps just off from their pins, clean the pins, (even with paper tissue only) and simply solder the new ones to the old pins still anchored in the board.

Looks weird, but works :-)
> or who doesn't believe in anything they themselves say,

Disagree with this. I think it is important in conversation to attempt to defend all alternate views even without believing them

> We self-organize into interlocking circles of trust. That's how circles of friendship work.

circles of friendship are ~100-150 people , but if we look at recent decades, in the most advanced economies people freely choose to be atomized while using use the State (~millions of people) as their support network.
You are right in some respects. There are moral issues, and this is a machine coming for (parts of) your job.

That said, it is not theft, however you slice it. What you express is what a lot of other workers feel when they see automation and mechanisation making progress in squeezing them out of their jobs. It is normal to be afraid, but you are not going to stop the tide. Some people will get out of business, some people will keep doing their thing until they retire, and over a generation or two a shift will have happened.

If it makes you feel better, pretty much no job is immune from this, in the same way that all manual labour is susceptible to be replace with robots. Other people will feel the same way you do now before long.
I did overclock it. It's a 3200 MHz module running at 3600; pretty typical for a gaming machine.

Of course, overclocked or not, I don't get memory errors. Just the occasional EDAC event.
Um, the phone boots. Only the screen is broken. "Unlocking" in this context just means entering the PIN on the lock screen.
I can't count the number of times I've clicked through to a link expecting to find more context than the excerpt on the search page and that content isn't there. Instead I get trapped in a sea of circular SEO spam that all promises to give me the answer I originally searched for but ends up leading me nowhere except to other article summaries with content I didn't even want to read about. Where's the source?

A good chunk of the remainder of the times I click through - especially on work-related stuff - it turns out the page is some kind of cribbed content from GitHub, StackOverflow and so forth, but mangled together and reskinned with different randomly-generated usernames making the "comments", so it seems like it's a different site, and you can only really tell by picking a specific sentence that appears unique and then manually searching for that same sentence on several different sites. No clear source there either.

Web search is broken, and it has been for several years now.
They used to have the concept of 'airtime' that you paid for, is that still the case?

The effect was that spam calls directly benefited the telcos at the expense of the person called if they answered the call.

I've lived and worked in Canada for many years, the longer I was there the more the outward shine wore off and eventually I just saw it as a loosely collected set of monopolies with the state backing them filtering every dollar from Canadians that they could get their hands on.
It's a great almost-specific prediction! Followers of ancient prophets would be proud. It's the kind of thing that has a 1% chance of being accurate--it sounds very specific because it mentions France, but has ample wiggle room:

- It includes "any major world leader" not just French leaders;

- If a world leader of any stripe were to die in a plane crash next March, people would still argue in favor of the prediction being correct, because the line between "not a major world leader" and "a major world leader" is quite fuzzy with room for "reasonable" debate.

- "Part of an attempted coup" is a great specific-but-broad constraint. What is an "attempted coup", exactly? A "successful coup" would be much more strict, but "attempted coup" leaves both the attempted-and-failed as well as the attempted-and-succeeded variants on the table. Also, one could argue that an "attempted coup" has many possibilities that are not immediately identified as a "coup"--for example, would a violent protest count? What does it mean to be "part of" an attempt? For example, suppose a leader is not part of the attempt personally, but is associated with someone who is. In that case, would the leader who left the country be considered "part of" an attempted coup?

For context: I grew up Mormon and grappled through many prophecies that seemed incredibly "specific" and somehow, incredibly, turned out to be true. This proved Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God.
I loved reading about creating simple protocols that fit on a napkin in ,, Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet''.

I feel the same way of nostr right now as a decentralized alternative to Twitter. It's super simple and there's nothing to take away from the basic protocol:

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md

I think it's time to get back to developing these kind of simple protocols that incentivize a healthy competition between clients and servers (and maybe other participants).
Regarding web compatibility, it's actually ok, you can use front-end packaging tools to output the minimum browser version required. But tauri itself is more demanding on the system, for example in higher versions windows will use edge by default, lower versions need to bootstrap, or package specific browser versions into the application (but it will increase the size of the application significantly).
well for me thay have already replaced, my first preferences. I used to google or go to stack overflow for resolving issues and woul need hours to come to conclusions. Now with ChatGPT i simpy start my research from there.
But it does. Both my grandfathers died as a result of infections with resistant strains, one of them after surgery, and the other after an extended hospital stay. Cause of death for both of them was persistent diarrhea over a few weeks. It’s quite common for tissue to become infected after major surgery (eg hip) with resistant bacteria, often necessitating another round of surgery and/or Dr-House-esque search for a particular antibiotic that will work. Older patients might not survive for long enough.
5.5 million tonnes of it annually counts as a bit more "we don't [produce steel]" - even if it's a drop in the bucket to the 1100 million tonnes China produces. Apparently we're about the 28th largest producer worldwide (which obviously suggests we're one of the lowest producing OECD nations).
I did not know that… Mosaic had an edit button? What did it do?
>Where are all those “it’s a private company they can do what they like” folks now? I haven’t seen that posted recently.

Those people were responding to arguments that social media platforms banning people, moderating content or even presenting content under an algorithmic feed were violations of the First Amendment, Section 230 and freedom of speech, by pointing out that all of these actions are allowed by the aforementioned principles and laws. That argument hasn't been posted recently because the threads in which the free-speech absolutist arguments to which it replies haven't been posted recently. It isn't germane to the situation wrt Musk and Twitter because, for whatever reason, the free speech absolutists no longer have a problem with censorship by private enterprise when Elon Musk is doing it, and so they no longer post angry, long-winded screeds against it.

And notwithstanding that Twitter banning journalists (even for just 12 hours) is a much more serious deal in terms of freedom of speech implications than banning some shitposting Nazis, no one complaining about that is actually claiming that Elon doesn't have the right to do what he's doing, nor are they calling for the government to make it illegal, as the free speech absolutist crowd has - they're just calling him a hypocrite and an asshole. Because he is.

This really isn't the dunk you and the countless others who keep bringing it up is, it just demonstrates that the free speech absolutist crowd were never arguing in good faith to begin with, because none of them ever bothered to actually listen to or engage with the arguments being made.
>"Would it be possible to share one of your own compositions"

One does not have to be composer to judge music. Also it is very subjective. In my opinion the piece is a short phrase that does not cause immediate allergic reaction. But it is not a composition.

Some math translated to notes and producing reasonable harmony is not really that exciting imo.
Sure looks like a PocketPC app to me:

Understaffed because with the microservices fashion you can get 100 engineers to be satisfied and think they are doing meaningful work while producing the output of 10 engineers. The industry believes the fashion is the only way to work by now, and shortage results.

(Of course, there are several other ways to get 100 engineers to have the output of 10; but I think microservices makes the engineers a lot less frustrated when it happens compared to more traditional alternatives)
Lot of very cool stuff in here, but I really don’t get leading with vaccines similar to the covid vaccine. It just seems like propaganda compared to the rest.
Yes, but the whole argument about washsing the oil off cylinder walls is irrelevant to diesels, as excess diesel lubricates, rather than dries cylinder walls.
This sounds like a malfunction?

I am charging my Model S as we speak at 10amp 230V in about -19C here in Norway :)

My cold record was a mountain supercharger at about -27C, was a little slower the first 10-12 minutes, then no difference.
If they get enough angry expletive-laced rants about how horrible their system is, maybe they'll pass that feedback on. And you get a good catharsis out of it.
Dreamcast ran windows ce, so it would be easy (ish?) to port it.
> you can name your price (as long as it's below the amount of revenue you generated or money you saved).

Incremental gross profit, not incremental revenue, would be a better reference as the ceiling (and even that’s high for a stable business, who might use net profit as the reference figure for their reservation price).
> ChatGPT, if asked correctly, will instead generate one perfect document based on millions of the documents

This is the "self-driving cars will obviously be better than human drivers given that they're trained on millions of humans' driving behavior" of chatbots.

In my experience, this is a huge stretch and wishful thinking.
It is a big deal, but throwing money at the technology provides limited runway as a strategy for impressive gen over gen uplift

"Nazi" is such an annoying term these days... if a group shares a single idea or belief the nazi party did AND one doesn't like that group then they get called Nazis. Whether it's nationalisation, nationalism, not liking new pronouns, anti-immigrant sentiment, believing in violence to achieve political aims, state surveillance or ethnic segregation, believing Jews have too much influence or even having not disassociated from a group or individual with one of the above beliefs... having even a single thing in common (even if every other belief is different) is enough for the label these days...

Makes virtually every group (including antifa and BLM ironically) a "nazi" group, rendering the term meaningless.
and here i am just sticking with MySQL for the past 20 years.. hasn't failed me yet
my post wasnt a matter of pro- or anti- driving. personally my preference of mobility is walking. i am grateful though for the freedom of being able to drive to my loved ones at wish. i would hate it if i had to count on a bus to drive me 100kms, whereas a car would get me there in under an hour on a motorway. that said, i dont think anyone finds driving in the city enjoyable. my point is that driving is a matter of utility, not product purchase. purchasing a car is a matter of product choice for that utility, and you will pay a premium for better ux. same as computers. computers are a utility. people would go through hoops to learn how to use it because of the utility. purchasing a macbook is then a matter of product choice. in this vain mastodon seems to me to be a utility. clients that connect to it are a product

Pages and pages of SEO spam, generally ranked by how big & established the site pushing said spam is, rather than any unique insights contained within.
Sending events in unfocused window is quite nice I would say.

The issue is the scroll speed and amount is inconsistent between applications.

And now with some applications trying to implement smooth scrolling it's even worse.
> - China will attack Guam then Okinawa within 5 years. These bases need to be destroyed as part of its invasion of Taiwan

China will attack the US (Guam and Okinawa are basically US military bases, Guam being US territory as well) on their way to Taiwan? seems very unlikely (there are 20k-30k US marines in Okinawa for ex).

> - Canada will have a privatized healthcare system alongside its public one.

Possible, but will require a majority conservative government, which today seems unlikely
> I'm participating in community moderation to the extent that this website enables me.

Yes, but when Musk talked about freedom of speech but not freedom of reach he wasn’t referring to flagging that leads to removal. He meant you might not get as many views as you had hoped.

So your approach of flagging is actually more extreme because the content will be completely removed in some cases.
"Preventing RSI" isn't the reasoning behind where to put Ctrl, though. People don't like it in the corner because it's (much) faster and less error-prone to put it next to A. Moving your whole arm is going in entirely the wrong direction.

FWIW: if you are RSI prone, you to be minimizing time spent on a keyboard in the first place, and heavy editor use is probably just a bad idea in general.
Grep for the internet works if and only if the most appropriate page on the internet is actually good.

There are many questions for which the ChatGPT answer is more useful than the canonical documentation page I already have open in another tab, which includes a huge amount of extra information that is irrelevant for me (and thus requires effort to parse) and the key bits are scattered all over it; the chatbot can do the extraction and summarization work for me.
I certainly wouldn't want such a policy to be enacted as law, but I'd never fault Kickstarter for allowing a fundraiser for a policy just because I disagree with it.
Okay, so the actual quote is:

Wanted — An archaeologist with high academic qualifications willing to spend fifteen years in excavating the Inca tombs at Helsdump on the Alligator River. Knighthood or equivalent honor guaranteed. Pension payable but never yet claimed. Salary of £2000 (or $6000 U.S.) per year. Apply in triplicate to the Director of the Grubbenburrow Institute, Sickdale, Ill., U.S.A.

And there is a job ad for a circus acrobat before this one in the book, so I've conflated the two together. And BTW, if you google just "pension payable but never yet claimed", this quote won't come up either. But googling for "pension payable but never yet claimed parkinson" works although only the first link is about the book and it leads to a Russian(?!) website of all things. Misteries of the Internet never cease to amaze me.
Ahh… the new Notepad.

It used to be a ~60kb executable that worked even on open files, enormous log files, or on servers on their last legs due to memory exhaustion.

The new version takes a solid second to start up, can’t open a one gigabyte text file in under a minute, and can’t even align tabs and spaces despite using a fixed-width font.

It’s the simplest text editor that is so slow that its menus visibly stutter and lag if you simply move your mouse.

If Gates was still in charge he’d have summarily fired that entire team.

If you want nice things, you can’t have nice people in charge.
Monero P2Pool is now live
Piracy is the moral option.
Yes. But also no snap, telemetry or other Ubuntu shitfuckery. It only just takes the good stuff from Ubuntu.

Being based on Ubuntu is pretty great because is is allows access to the huge package ecosystem. Lot's of commercial software is (sadly) only targeting Ubuntu so you can just use the .deb without problems.

Stock Debian is also a great choice (Ubuntu uses Debian as a base) but a bit harder to set up for beginners. (There is also a Debian based Linux Mint variant.)

There are many good Distributions but strictly for beginner "I don't want to tinker" suggestions, the Debian-based ones are a safe choice, again because of the package ecosystem. (Though something like OpenSuse is also very friendly).
I’m saying that production shifts to produce more of what poor people want (food etc) and less of what that rich people want (Lamborghinis etc).
Just because people who make money out of repair are making this claim, doesn’t make it true.

See for example: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/04/apples-self-service-r...
I see this all the time in software development. Developers adding a before/after filter/fix on top of a buggy component instead of just fixing the bug. Developers adding a cache to try and improve performance instead of finding out why the system is slow in the first place. Developers adding more expensive hardware and complex distributed failure scenarios instead of (again) figuring out why it is slow in the first place. Layer after layer added on top of a bad system/component instead of just fixing the damn real problem. It drives me crazy!
It is, but yesterday's high in SF was 55° with a low of 48°. LA's high was 83 and a low of 54. Global climate change will probably turn our summers super toasty, but this past week's bomb cyclone makes me grateful I'm living here. Not sure it's worth $3.2k for a 2 bed, but I'll take the good things I can get.
From what I can tell, 1Password 7 runs native on Apple Silicon.

"file /Applications/1Password\ 7.app/Contents/MacOS/1Password\ 7" says "Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
- Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64]"

Activity Monitor says that all 1Password things are of Kind "Apple" (not "Intel").
It seems like weird logic to legislate that Apple and Samsung must make their phones less reliable for everyone simply because a 5 year old phone made by a cut price manufacturer is no longer supported.

Why did you buy the ASUS phone if you don’t expect to get support for it?
Deploy != Release
I think the goal is more ‘always have an exit strategy’ but for small children they can’t be expected to maintain a self awareness at all times. So the idea is to just remove the possibility entirely. Perhaps a statement of ‘don’t spend more than a few minutes talking to strangers’ or ‘don’t follow a stranger to a second location’ would be better as kids grow older.
Svelte stores.
I think you are replying in good faith but you are overreacting to the “help” comment which I do not think was intended to be offensive.

I think “convergence” is a good term which the Parent used, and based on the context I would interpret it as a “shared understanding” or mutually benficial exchange of ideas. Convergence also implies agreement and maybe partial agreement could be a part of that, but even “agreeing to disagree” seems like a good faith outcome.

So do some people post without this intent? I’m sure they do but I will always assume the opposite until they prove otherwise.
> Just let people buy the devices they want

But that's not what will happen. Instead people will have to buy the devices manufacturers force on them.
Nationalization of research laboratories is a very socialist idea. That doesn't make it bad or inefficient, but government takeover of research and education has pretty solid roots in socialism, Marxism, and fascism.

The US does spend the most and that leads to output, but that doesn't mean it's the most efficient or does the best job of prioritizing the populations best interests over political or business concerns.

The selection process of awards like the Nobel Prize is also at risk of bias given that many of the people involved in picking the winners are themselves part of the national laboratory machine.

Regardless, my point was simply that we probably have a better chance at a Swedish effort leading to less biased and more efficient research than one from the US right now. I wasn't aiming for a debate on the relative political roots or leanings of publicly funded research labs.
I'm very aware of the "paradox of intolerance". It's the most cited dogma used by the deliberately intolerant to excuse and even demand intolerance from others.
