John Hughes captured the 80s. If you want to know what the 80s were like as a teenager, watch The Breakfast Club (1985). His best work, in my opinion. Unlike Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club is close to the reality of teenage life in the 80s.

ATM, Binance needs a lot of cash, as they are still having >$50M a day in withdrawals.

We know (from chats that were made public by FTX employees) that they are working with Tether to make sure that everything looks backed and solid and regain confidence.

It is not impossible that Binance is already in the hole, and using some of Tether's cash, or that such a position is imminent.

If we give Binanace time to stabilize before there is a run on Tether, then their combined coffers will be much larger, thus preventing the crash.

Current cars' aerodynamics are optimized on downforce, range comes way down the line. EVs are mostly optimized for range. Blobfish, or water droplet shape is the most aerodyanamic one out there. Once manufacturers figure out battery efficiency, I think we'll see more aesthetic cars out there again. Prius was a notable exception because it also focused on range and efficiency.

I recommend learning about two key figures, their principles and the way they conducted themselves throughout their life.

1. Admiral Rickover. Start with Rickover's "Doing a job" essay [1], and then move onto more detailed books, such as "The never-ending challenge of engineering" [2].

2. Lee Kuan Yew. Start with some of the more light-weight reads about the man, but to really understand what it takes to build something great from scratch, go through books by him [3]. You'll definitely learn many useful things through his books.

What? I'm talking about the UK state pension: https://www.gov.uk/state-pension/eligibility ; pay in for 30 years, get about £180 a week when you retire. For all workers.

But people who work for the government are, separately, entitled to have an employer-run pension scheme which pays some of their income as deferred compensation in a pension scheme. I don't think it would be more efficient to insist that they take out a private retirement scheme (is this "401k" in US-speak?) and then have to pay them more in the present in order to fund it.

> Dark energy is really the fudge for all this. The idea is that creating new space takes energy. That has to come from somewhere and dark energy is our fudge factor for that. No one really knows what dark energy is or looks like just like we don't know what creating new space looks like. It just solves a conservation problem.

That's simply not true. You don't need energy to create new space (and you wouldn't magically get energy from nowhere if the universe were contracting). General relativity gives you expanding (or contracting) space just fine if dark energy doesn't exist -- in fact, that was the most common cosmological model before the late 1990s discovery that the expansion was accelerating.

The fact that the simplest version of dark energy is the cosmological constant tells us your basic idea is wrong: if that energy was going into creating new space, then it would decrease over time, not remain constant.

In fact, it's worse than that, because the cosmological constant is a constant energy density. So if expansion doubles some volume of intergalactic space, then the total amount of dark energy also doubles (while the total energy in the form of ordinary or dark matter stays the same, and the energy in the form of photons decreases due to redshifting).

Conservation of energy in general relativity is messy and sometimes counter-intuitive; e.g.

Nice IPhone cluster.

Have you tried something based on deep-learning that uses Transformers :
https://github.com/roatienza/deep-text-recognition-benchmark (available weights are for tasks that seem similar to OCR so there is a good chance you can use it out of the box). With a good gpu it should process hundreds to thousands image per seconds, so you likely can build your index in less than a day. (Maybe you can even port it to your iphone stack :) )

https://github.com/microsoft/GenerativeImage2Text (You'll probably have to train on your custom dataset that you have constituted)

There are tons of other freely available solutions that you can get with a search for things with keywords like "image to text ocr" "transformers" "visual transformers"...

I wrote up a larger reply to this, but simplified it a bunch:

1. Hardware needs to be good enough. Raspberry Pi proved that. Ubiquity of common parts solves a bunch of issues. The main limiting factors here are likely transcode speed, ethernet speed, encryption speed.

2. Software needs a good modularization story. Linux in general suffers from the idea that everything is configurable and to configure everything you have to learn about how it interacts with everything. There's a lot of focus on how to do things rather than matching common use cases to profiles that just work. As a concrete example rather than selecting the "I'm at a coffee shop or airport" profile, I need to select that I'm on an insecure network that I don't trust with a specific password and a configuration for my VPN that forces traffic ... Addressing componentization via use case design seems lacking (and a good place to introduce standardization). A lot of the "tinkering" level software seems to start with "How" rather than "Why" as the impetus.

3. Security. We have security principles that are evolving to solve these sorts of problems (OAuth2 RAR, Passkeys). Invest in them.

4. Support. Common solutions for common problems breed easier conversations. There are consultants that do NAS support for small businesses because those NAS companies have gained enough market share. Secondly we need to spend more time to start with the why rather than the what. Software developers (myself included) obsess over the latter and build systems at that level that can answer (how fast is my connection) rather than systems that inherently answer the real need (why is my connection slow or intermittent).

5. Perhaps the answer is just build a better NAS company where the focus is on home server software rather than purely around adding server software to a bunch of disks in a box. Perhaps the answer is really embracing the idea of U in NUC?

Perhaps this has been done elsewhere? Perhaps it's been done too many times to really work?

I've been a member for a long time and I've helped out with a local chapter.

They're a non-profit, and not affiliated with a particular financial institution. Doesn't accept ads (except, it seems, for the Discover card). Offline: Has a monthly magazine with a variety of ideas and strategies. Local chapters bring in speakers who are asked to make educational presentations about their work. In practice, most speakers put in small plug, but it's rarely more than a slide or two.

Since they're a non-profit, I don't feel like I have to second-guess what their intentions are, like wondering how much a broker is going to make off of my business, or if they're recommending a trade because of their commission. They do have a few add-on newsletters (that I've never subscribed to), but that's also a straightforward purchase model (vs broker & commission scenario).

Hi, I think it is perfectly natural – as others write here :) But still, you can do a lot about this. I am 50 and I feel even better than in my forties. We have three kids, I run demanding business (book publishing in small country) and I have many other responsibilities.

My way to improving has been pretty long (10 years of trying) but ... TLDR: I started to be more physically active, including strength training, completely overhauled my circadian – sleep habits (I sleep 10x better than years before). I suggest to follow Peter Attia and read books from David Sinclair, Satchin Panda, Matthew Walker... It pays off. :) Keep going, you can improve your mental abilities again.

> It seems the majority here thinks the next 20 years will be like the last 20 years, with only minor, gradial improvements. And every idea of a bigger shift is a scam.

More like the last 200 years will be like the last 200 years. When has there been some truly "giant shift" that swept the world in less than a decade?

The automobile we know today was an outgrowth of the decades of developments of steam engines to farm tractors to passenger vehicles and was only fully enabled once we built the interstate system and has required decades of further development particularly of safety systems to bring us to the comfortable place we are now.

I imagine this technology will eventually be useful, but so many more developments and earned experience needs to be gained before we can build out the rest of the infrastructure that will truly allow this technology to become a ubiquitous improvement over our current state.

It's maybe not that we're negative on the new technology, it's just that we'd like to acknowledge this gap and concentrate on the issues that it creates rather than getting lost in the perennial shine of the new.

It’s failure if you didn’t learn anything from it that you can’t transfer.

What skills and lessons can you transfer and build on? There surely are some. That’s the part of your story you can write next.

> Well, you can say the same about git right?

The difference is that in git the repo structure is metadata. The data (the contents of particular commits) is completely independent of the repo structure and so you can change the latter without changing the former. Furthermore, when you try to build a program, you only ever deal with a single commit. You never build a program from multiple commits at once. Program linking has nothing to do with the repo structure.

But in unison, the "repo structure" is no longer metadata, it's part of the program. It is now part and parcel of your linker. So when you change the "repo structure" you are changing the behavior of the program.

Git works precisely because it separates data (program) from metadata (repo structure). When you glom them together the way unisom does, you get some gnarly problems to which I don't see any immediately evident solutions.

> It should be generally better across a wide range of topics and has improved factuality.

Maybe I am being naive, but this is not telling too much as there is no metric attached to it, so the average user cannot (at least immediately) gauge how impactful this improvement is.

I think it would be beneficial to have benchmarks for assessing the factuality of large language models. Now, several open questions are:

- What is the minimal (necessary) set of questions it must contain?

- Can it ever be sufficient?

- What is the appropriate metric to use?

I see ChatGPT as a sleazy sales guy.

Very good at well spoken elaborate stories. Will have a confident answer to all of your questions. Will prefer to tell you bullshit instead of just saying "I don't know".

And there lies also the problem, you will never know if ChatGPT really knows the answer, or is just bullshitting you. Just like a sleazy sales guy.

Hahaha, everyplace everywhere.

I think two things play into this: Layers.. it is just easier for people to add layers around something, not touching and understanding the original code and doing it right there. And then profs or someone else always says layering is good!
(It may sure be, or also sometimes such "hacks" are the right thing to do, but if that is always the default mode... uhh oh).

And second, university training: OOP, design patterns, software layers, all claimed to lead to structured good programming automatically still taught in 2023, which is just not true. By untrained or unexperienced personnel leads to worse than 80s spaghetti code..

Just yesterday I exercised with relative who is in university for exam.. Java, design patterns, arggh. Imo it just makes no sense at all to try to teach students inheritance and design patterns with Cat/Dog/Animal et al, it is so backwards. You need to program for a while bigger real systems to see some patterns emerge and their usefulness, and then can relate to the formal way and maybr use some patterns reasonably. But starting with those on toy examples just leads to what you describe:
People going in with their trained knowledge and applying that to everything without rhyme or reason. What could be a simple five liner function already becomes a convoluted abomination. Just one concrete example, but this then on many levels of software engineering.

Who or what will save our future? :D No, it won't be ChatGPT.

>Recently while visiting Japan, I tried to get a eSIM card...
>... Days and days of problems, hours on the phone. ...
>... I truly thought I was going to go insane. I didn't leave the hotel for 12 hours

All this just because you just had to try to use a US-spec iPhone 14 Pro instead of getting a phone with a real SIM slot. eSim isn't really a thing in Japan yet, or anywhere outside the US, so support is iffy. Dual-SIM phones, OTOH, are normal and common in Asia. You could have saved a ton of time by just buying a 30-day SIM card at the airport like everyone else. The first time I went to Japan, I just bought a SoftBank SIM card at 7Eleven, popped it into my phone, followed the procedure in the instructions, and within an hour I was set.

For people with iPhone 14 Pro phones from the US, the solution is really simple: just use international roaming. If you can afford the top-spec iPhone, you can afford roaming charges.

>The problems were mostly that I had a middle name, which Japanese people apparently never have

No, they don't. Middle names don't exist in Japan, just like names written in Kanji aren't recognized in the US. Foreigners get around it by concatenating the first and middle names, or dropping the middle name altogether.

>like removes the space between your first and middle name when you put both of them into the first name field.

Why would you put a space into a single name field? Japanese names don't have spaces in the middle; they're single words (one each for first and last name).

>For example, I eventually worked out that I must have a credit card which includes...

Or you can just buy a SIM card at the airport with cash or a credit card (paid by scanning so your name doesn't matter).

I discovered Autocode from the following passage of [0]:

> Alick Glennie (UK)

> In their contribution "Programming for high-speed digital calculating machines" (1953), the British computer scientists J. M. Bennett and Alick E. Glennie mention the name Autocode. According to Christopher S. Strachey, this compiler was used from September 1952 with the Manchester Mark 1 computer.

> Hopper published her article before Glennie. Nevertheless, Knuth considers Glennie to be the creator of the first true compiler which was actually implemented and used (see Donald E. Knuth; Luis Trabb Pardo: The early development of programming languages, in: Nicholas Constantine Metropolis; Jack Howlett; Gian-Carlo Rota (editors): A history of computing in the twentieth century, Academic Press, New York, London etc. 1980, pages 218 ff.).
