I use an app called NAVITIME (Japan-only) for navigation in my car and I far prefer it to Google or Apple maps. It functions a lot more similar to a more traditional GPS navigator like a TomTom or whatever, and has a lot of nice features like showing prices on gas stations. It does have an option to show the temperature. It's a monthly subscription though.
Trying to discuss diets is always controversial, and I hope I don't sound like I'm on a high horse. Everyone has different motivations for their diets. It could be health, ethics, taste preference, etc..

I try to be a "flexitarian", because personally I find it gives me a good balance between nutrition, environmental impact, taste and ethical animal treatment (I try to animals seldomly and eat every single bit of the animal, offal, intestines, ears, tails, feet, etc).

I'm also probably in the minority that actually likes the taste of "fake meat". I have them every now and then, but I'm fully aware that it's not "healthy food" and it's expensive and I'm not sure about the enviromental impact. When I have it, it's mostly to fulfill req #4 (eating fewer animals).

Presentation from new FTX management to creditors.

Slides 18 and 19 "The $65 Billion Backdoor" and "Margin Requirements and Auto Liquidation" give a good description of the rules in place along with code snippets:

'borrow': {0: Decimal('0E-8'), 1: Decimal('65355999995.00000000'), 2: Decimal('0E-8')}
can_withdraw_below_borrow = true

It's interesting to me if this lets the software engineers "off the hook" for the fraud. If these flags, limits and values were set by SBF et al the CTO (Nishad Singh) could argue he didn't know what was going on. There was a discussion a month ago on this topic:

More like we (as consumers and technologists) still haven't learned our lesson.

A device supporting USB4 2.0 gen 2 doesn't mean that hard drive goes over 1 MB/s transfer rate.

A display supporting HDMI 2.1 doesn't mean it will output anything better than 1080i.

Specs are meant to describe interoperability. Conformance provides assurance that they're _is_ interoperability. Certifications (like Thunderbolt 4) provide assurance that they actually support certain features, and that they are supported in a way that matters.

But specs like USB 3.2 are completely forward compatible. That means they describe how a say a conformant USB 3.0 device _is_ a USB 3.2 device. What they add is a way that devices and cables that want to support 20 Gbps can do so in an interoperable manner. They don't mandate 20 Gbps support if you say you are a 3.2 compliant device.

When device makers and cable makers label them with spec internal names and subsections rather than the official marketing terms and logos (like USB 20 Gbps) it is an indicator that they haven't actually proved that they are conformant with the spec, or that they properly interoperate with others who are.

The market can solve this by preferring parts that aren't sold in consumer hostile ways. Problem is, those parts MAY work and usually ARE cheaper ;-)

I like to collect music and have been building a library of certain genres. I had been buying a lot of vinyl over the last few years but recently I’ve been getting back into CD’s in a big way because of how cheap they are second hand. Like you say, a couple of decades ago one could pick up a stack of second hand vinyl for next to nothing and the current market for second hand CD’s really reminds me of those days. For example, I picked up a recent album I’d been after on CD, second hand, for less than 10% of its price on vinyl (again, a second hand copy). The disc arrived in excellent condition with detailed sleeve notes and photos, plus it was a remaster so probably sounded better than the vinyl copy anyhow and is potentially more durable. I get the aesthetic appeal of vinyl of course, but gazing at that disc as I slotted it carefully into the player, made me think what a fascinating artefact a compact disc is too.

This is one of the best pieces of advice in the article:

> You learn so much as you’re building a system that you will end up iterating into a much better system than you ever could have designed in the first place. This is surprisingly a hard sell to most people.

And it's one I wish I'd kept in mind for a lot of personal projects in my life. I love designing stuff up front and implementing things based on that, but often that's led to sticking with ideas that didn't actually pan out the way I expected them to, especially when it comes to game design/development. A lot of the time, a good level or game or boss fight or whatever is completely different to what you initially imagined it would be, and you should be willing to change direction to fit the bill.

> Sometimes you have to stop sharpening the saw, and just start cutting shit

Also this one for much the same reason. Overplanning for things is a curse, especially when said plan hasn't quite come into contact with reality.

It’s true, if the only goal of a UUID was minimizing collisions with a given number of bits, storing the timestamp would be a waste of entropy (assuming that generation rate is non-uniform over time.)

The reason they encode a timestamp (which I learned from the link upthread) is interesting, though. They knew that people use UUIDs as keys in data structures like BTrees, and using a timestamp improves memory/disk locality.

> Non-time-ordered UUID versions such as UUIDv4 have poor database index locality. Meaning new values created in succession are not close to each other in the index and thus require inserts to be performed at random locations. The negative performance effects of which on common structures used for this (B-tree and its variants) can be dramatic.

As the post points out this involves some claims about infinite sets that are maybe not super obvious to laypeople (every infinite set of natural numbers has a least element). But we can rephrase this to avoid mentioning sets:

For any rational number p/q (with q > 0) there exists a smallest positive natural number k such that k * p/q is natural: Clearly q works, so we check the finitely many numbers 1, ..., q and pick the smallest.

Suppose the square root of 2 is rational. Let k be this smallest number for \sqrt 2, and proceed with the rest of the proof to find 0 < k' < k that also works.

Maybe I should rephrase (I'm a notoriously poor communicator) ...

Sometimes (like in the cases I pointed out), the security messages and warnings must be sacrificed because the practical security either doesn't matter (like hackernews) or hasn't been compromised (like the 5m after midnight example).
"a Star Trek type replicator would streamline that process by a fair margin and have far fewer critical links."

Would it? We're never really shown how replicators work or much else about the logistics of the Federation but I've always assumed the support machinery and network behind the replicators must be pretty enormous. Not only the manufacture and maintenance of them but just ensuring all the energy, fuel and raw elements are available and can get from A to B would be complex.
Just the other day I've encountered a cookie modal, where the enabled option was grayed out and when disabled it was colored. Only noticed this because the required cookies toggle was obviously on (though gray in color). For someone in a hurry (like we are all when dismissing those modals), you would expect to gray those out, which would actually make you opt-in to all those advertising cookies.

> Nobody actually wants to eat artificial meat

I like it, I'm a meat eater with a vegetarian partner, it works great as a compromise for us, to use every so often (not every day).

Some vegetarians (my partner included) sometimes want food that tastes and has texture like dishes they used to eat as a meat eater. So it works great for them. For her it's bolognese-style pasta sauces, bacon, sandwich meats like pastrami and a few other things.

Artificial meat has a niche.

To me, the paradigm only works if both sides are labeled in both states.

Light [* ] Dark

This is essentially how a physical switch would be labeled, and is the best way to prevent ambiguity - the current state is the label that the switch is closest to.

But most implementations don’t do that. And I can understand why, because the following…

Show Notifications Yes [* ] No

…is a bit awkward looking.

They might be an idea with a small market. But in my mind this is a lot like if Silicon Valley got really pumped up about, like, unpasteurized cheeses or nutritional shakes. (Oh, wait, that last one happened.) The problem isn't with unpasteurized cheeses--there is a small but reasonable market for such things--but with Silicon Valley.
> Linking to a github repo without any context does not prove your point.

> squeezing a timestamp in there seems to be a hack with unexpected consequences at best

It’s not a hack. It’s a future standard, and it is going to be widely used.

IETF is an organisation that publishes many of the standards that the internet and computer software is built with. Including publishing a standard for the existing UUID variants in common use today:

> UUIDs are standardized by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) as part of the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE).

> UUIDs are documented as part of ISO/IEC 11578:1996 "Information technology – Open Systems Interconnection – Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" and more recently in ITU-T Rec. X.667 | ISO/IEC 9834-8:2005.

> The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) published the Standards-Track RFC 4122, technically equivalent to ITU-T Rec. X.667 | ISO/IEC 9834-8.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

UUID was specifically created so that it could support different versions. Some of the bits in UUID identify the version.

Hence, a standard that says how to encode timestamp into UUID, and assigns a version for this format, UUID v7, is in fact the exact opposite of a hack.

And the reason they made UUID v7 is to have chronologically sortable UUIDs. They are inspired/based on ULID format, but made to conform to the UUID format.

The trick is a (by now) common one: you train the LLM on a simple programming language that's interpreted by the robot's software. So natural language goes in and the LLM then thinks out loud to figure out the needed steps, then emits Logo-like instructions to control where the robot goes. More conventional robotics AI then takes over to handle movement of the machine, the arms, etc.

> I also like to mention that many places prefer cash only in Germany for tax evasion reasons

Some do, some do it for other reasons. Especially older smaller shops are often do it for cost-reasons, or because the owners are old and don't care much for modern technology, or because they are young and hip and don't care for modern technology, which is especially in the Hipster-Areas of Berlin a real thing, which is a pretty sad thing in its own. I mean we are talking about shops who not just remain with physical cash, but where the whole shop and its vibes are oldschool, analog, without any advanced technology. At that point it's just part of the marketing and sellout-identity.

The general problem is, Cash is still the most reliable, simple and cost-efficient solution for payments. While Cashless still demands contracts and some equipment. Established Shops often have old bad contracts with high fees for cashless transfers, and prior to the pandemia, cashless was not used widely enough for them to gain a solid experience with it. This changed in the last years, but not for everyone, and old habits die hard.

I know from my own family, which is full of old and strange people, some even having smaller shops. Most of them have problem with such stuff, some are not even willing to use something like WhatsApp or a simple calculator-app. And yes, some also just don't care for tax, because this is also hard. Reasons are just manifold with that topic.

I'd like to point out the possibility that the thief used the car to steal these records from someone else... I can think of one person in LA who has such an eclectic and ratty ass record collection, who goes by "northern crates" on twitch and is a good old friend of mine; he's spent years scouring record stores for rare and unheard Motown.

Probably not his stuff but you might want to try to figure out who just lost an entire record collection... it's probably not the thief's own.

Getting in Trouble with Mixed Construction
Sadly, the moral of the story seems to be that the 1943 FBI had loads of zealous (performative?) plods on staff, but ~zero law enforcement professionals. In '43, the US had plenty of highly competent professional cryptographers, who were quite experienced with current Japanese, German, Italian, British, etc. codes. Before an entire local FBI office spent even a day on this case (let alone 6 weeks), maybe they should have asked some of those professionals to look at the supposed "Japanese code key" page? If it turned out to be a known code that (say) Canada used for low-security consular messages, that'd quickly narrow down or close the case.

EDIT: If they believed the "Japanese code key" page might be genuine, why didn't they pass it up to the professional code-breakers ASAP? Sitting on it, while the Japanese used the code to plan an attack on the US, could make that local FBI office look like a bunch of idiots and traitors. So perhaps they did pass it up, were told that it was a waste of time...but didn't want to accept that answer.
