The two are related, aren't they? Record cold in one place, record heat in another. Due to disturbed weather patterns that are deviating far from normal. Result - threat to life in many places. Possible future societal breakdown due to crop failures, famine, even affecting Western countries (including spread of nasty diseases previously limited to hot countries). Likely to get far worse over time, unless we find some silver bullet technology for sucking pre-emitted CO2 out of the air. Thank goodness the likes of the Guardian are reporting this, when so many people are in denial.

The EU has both a higher quality of life and standard of living. Here's Investopedia's list of stuff [0] you'd measure for standard of living (FWIW it also mentions HDI as a good measure of standard of living, which the EU generally beats the US at, especially IHDI):

- Life expectancy

- Inflation rate

- Number of paid vacation days

- Class disparity

- Poverty rate

- Quality and affordability of housing

- Hours of work required to purchase necessities

- GDP

- Affordable access to quality healthcare

- Quality and availability of education

- Incidence of disease

- Infrastructure

- National economic growth

- Economic and political stability

- Political and religious freedom

- Environmental quality

- Climate

- Safety

Generally other than the GDP/economic growth points, the EU beats the US.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of hype around generative models, but in my mind only a few use cases that will really stick.

Small nitpick: in game theory, "solved" means something very specific. At the very weakest it requires the ability to prove what the result of a game will be from the initial position given perfect play.

Chess AI is nowhere close to this. They easily beat humans, yes, but in the game-theoretic sense chess is not solved.

That's not how things used to be.

Some people approach movies/music/books etc. as entertainment and some people approach them as Art. Neither is right or wrong, but it does fundamentally affect how you consume and judge them. A lot of the reasons people talk past each other in these discussions is that they have rather different 'use cases' for movies/music/books. If you consider music and books as entertainment then it makes no difference how it's produced as long as it entertains. If you consider them art then it makes a much bigger difference.
I once owned a copy of The Gospel According to St. Barnabas (English translation - I'm no scholar), a deuterocanonical gnostic text. Very weird and magical. It describes the events of Jesus' descent into Hell, and his return. There are many resonances with "The Egyptian Book of the Dead".
Today? No.
Tomorrow? Maybe.

I think it will be an expensive luxury for another while, but commonplace in a decade or so.
The point of higher resolutions is bigger screens with the same quality.

I was able to snag a 8k 55" tv for USD ~1000 a couple of years ago and it's absolutely glorious as a monitor. Basically it functions as 4 4k monitors in one unified canvas.

When I sit down to work, most of my field of view is screen real-estate. I can have several pages of code vertically surrounded by handfuls of terminal windows and reference material, and it's all perfectly crisp since it's 8K on only 55".

I think we are basically brainwashed when it comes to monitors. Monitors grow a few pixels in resolution and a few inches in size every decade or so, and I've heard the argument repeated - "I got a 21" (22", 24", 27") screen, it's nice but that's as big as I want to go". Somehow when a new few inches larger becomes the norm in the market, everyone thinks that's OK too.

I think most knowledge workers would get hooked on 55" within a few hours of using it. I know I was.

Unfortunately this TV seems to have been a bit of an anomaly. The market today is filled with worse products costing more money. :(

LG was able to make this and ship it everywhere in the world for sub-1000 usd years ago. The technology exists and is not expensive, it just needs to be set free!

fair point :)
One thing to watch out for (check the reviews) is most multi-port chargers have a total power maximum limit which is less than the sum of each port's maximum. So they renegotiate all ports when something is first connected. In other words, if you plug in a second synth, the first synth will probably be power cycled.

Another tip: if something takes a voltage not available in PD, for example 7.5V, you can often open the device and near the power connector find a voltage regulator. In the regulator's datasheet you will often see that it will accept a higher voltage (like 9V in this example). Be aware that a linear regulator will dump the extra power as heat.
The artist means nothing to me.

Honest question. If the artist means nothing to you, do you still judge their work as art, or do you consider music more as entertainment?

Top speed of most trains is below that of a Tesla let alone super cars. The trains that can go significantly faster (but not really hundreds of miles per hour faster - Maglevs - are capable of similar acceleration). This analogy is not the greatest for the point being conveyed.

How is open source supposed to compete with commercial players that can get a lot more data with unethical means (like say Adobe using all pictures their users sync with Lightroom).

Generative AI will face the exact same problem, along with the other difficulties of funding such models
The curious Soviet mini-sub of South Alabama
They say no customer data was compromised and are investigating "potential impact" to customers.

The potential impact here is an attacker now has access to some of their code which could let them find and take advantage of vulnerabilities resulting in customer data being accessed.

Technically "potential impact" is correct but I think companies often underplay how severe a source code leak is. It's the exact blueprint of how their app is built.

Hi, author of litexplore here!

I agree remote management is the "least convenient" aspect of SQLite. If you have control over the remote VM where the DB is hosted, you can also run something like ClouDBeaver[0], Datasette[1] or sqlite-web[2] as a Docker container, then connect to it from your laptop.

The reason I wrote litexplore was that those approaches require exposing extra ports, managing authentication, etc. With litexplore, you just need the sqlite3 CLI (compiled with the JSON1 extension) installed in the VM and a way to access it over SSH.

litexplore is still in early stages and I have some updates planned in the following 2 months, but the basics are working.

Yes. Except that it’s not physically painful not to eat (that would happen probably at 1 1/2 pizzas, but I almost never go there).

I’ve been feeling this way and limiting my food intake since teenage years (almost half my life). Sometimes more, other times less successfully (six pack to love handles, but never beyond that).
“Has a high amount of fat” isn’t the same thing as “unhealthy”. “Has a high amount of calories” isn’t either.

Wanting to lose weight isn’t necessarily about health, and eating a lot of fat is an effective way to lose weight.

I've played guitar and piano for 35 years, primarily improvisational styles (blues / jazz). I had a year of classical training, but gave it up - and only returned to music several years later.

In my view, music is whatever you want it to be - you play what you want, and if it appeals to people, they will listen. Of course there's knowledge to be passed on (harmony, scales, patterns of rhythm) - but that's all it is - knowledge, which might help a player to better express what they want. A lot of music education treats these concepts as holy writ, which they are most definitely not.

Hi everyone,

I am happy to present to you - Controllable, a centralized remote configuration management platform. Building software at my last stint, I frequently ran into problems around storing dynamic application configurations. If we stored configs in static locations like config files - they couldn't be changed at runtime. If we wanted dynamic configs, we ended up storing configs in random databases all over the places, where we would run into issues around access management / ACLs, figuring out who changed what a.k.a audits, building dashboards to view and modify those configs, data validation issues (which led to a downtime on certain occasions), scale, etc. Controllable provides a config platform to address the above issues.

On top of that, Controllable also provides a powerful segmentation engine to define configurations across a segmentation tree. It also contains a rule engine to apply configurations based on logical expressions.

For the future, we plan to introduce features like Change Requests to have an entire change-approve-apply configuration workflow, A/B testing to integrate with the segmentation engine and an insights platform to track how metrics corresponding to the configurations are trending.

Same for me - 8 years of piano with regular exams, gave it up in my teens because I didn't want to play just classical stuff, and all that practicing was just plain boring. Haven't touched a keyboard since (and have carefully forgotten all that music theory).

I did pick up an old classical guitar at a girlfriend's house and started on Simon and Garfunkel and Beatles, and have been playing guitar (and bass, mandolin, slide guitar and lap steel) for the past 45 years, so the music was there!

Having brought up 3 kids, it is sometimes hard to know when to encourage them to push through on something and when to let it die.
I'd guess your 1080p plasma also weighed 50+ pounds and consumed a few hundred watts of electricity vs. new TVs that are super light and much more energy efficient. So that's another big reason to consider upgrading from a plasma (or at least one less reason to hang on to old tech).

Non physicist writing here, so maybe this is dumb.

What I've read about entanglement is this: do something to a particle, and a predicable thing happens to another particle.

So, I am dreaming of a "radio" that has no interference because instead of agitating the electromagnetic field, it manipulates one particle.
On the other end there is another "radio" that measures the entangled particle and turns the movement/spin/whatever of the particle on that end into data (voice/video), and vice-versa.

The problem, I guess, is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (again, non-physicists so possibly there are workable cheats around this). So, measuring of one particle already changes it, therefore any incoming data is nullified?
I didn’t say they had to be a celebrity. But to be a musician you have to actually produce music, its among the performing arts.

Solo piano players have recitals, or make and share recordings of themselves, or do things that aren’t solo too. I stand by the idea that musicianship is a thing that involves other people, at least in some manner or another.
I know the danger of thinking this, but maybe we're just less wrong than we used to be?
> OK so does this mean that OSS is vulnerable by default ?

No, but I don't think that's a fair comparison. An open source tool or app is open source by choice so they have an advantage of knowing what they're getting into.

In Slack's case maybe they have a bunch of undocumented APIs which are publicly accessible and now with access to the source code you know what they are, and when you hit them they result in customer data being returned. It runs in their production environment off the live site so it doesn't involve anything crazy like you needing VPN access to their DB to get production data.

That's just 1 basic example of what could happen when a private code base becomes public due to a leak. I'd like to think an open source site wouldn't do that because at a fundamental level the app is built in the open. Also, there's likely many sets of eyes from different folks looking at it from different angles.

Having undocumented publicly accessible API endpoints isn't an option in an open source world but a private code base could maybe get by with security through obscurity on a few things thinking "well, the code is private...".
My idea is to target alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo, Ecosia and even Bing to broaden audience and reach "not Google users".

I still remember those from my airplane model building years! When I joined the airplane modeling club at the local House of Youth here in the Czech Republic, we had a few of them still hanging around under the ceiling - but we never flew them by that point.

People were mostly building analog glow spark or detonation engine powered planes or electric and unpowered gliders.

Interestingly the thing basically all people built at tje start was a throwing balsa plane and then an uncontrolled glider, that you would drag up using a line, kinda how manned gliders are lofted with a winch.

Then every year we would hold a competition where members would compete with the planes they built - IIRC my glider was in the A3 category but I don't think I won any top spots back then. Also one way to assure victory was to build a bigger glider in one of the categories no one else competed. :-)

By doing it this way the club members learned how to use the tools and materials to then build more advanced designs - I managed to also build a RC plan eventually, powered by a 1,5 cm3 glowspark and controlled by a SkySport 4! I think 9 still have it somewhere.

Then high-school started and I had much less time and that was it with airplane building back then. :P

> Unfortunately the AI completely faceplants, placing an enormous pause right in the middle of the phrase "all places wild". It actually changes the meaning of the text, making it sound more like "...the beauty he saw in all places. Wild!"

I disagree for 2 reasons:

1. There's a perfectly fine reason to put a pause between "places" and "wild": to put emphasis on "wild". Bill doesn't see beauty in all places, but specifically in all wild places.

2. Interpreting the narration as "[...] all places. Wild!" is farfetched because the narrator pronounces "wild" very calmly and softly.

I agree the pause is a bit too long, but I was expecting way worse when I read your comment about how "the AI completely faceplants".
