What I want to have, and what nobody does, is replace the computer screen with a infinite virtual screen. Same apps, windows etc. except it is in virtual reality. This way we could replace mobile phones/tablets with even smaller devices and outsource the display function to VR glasses.

I'm happy that Rao's was the winner.

Are you disputing the existence of widespread crimes in SF?
The thing about SF is that every neighborhood has its own "downtown" in the form a primary commercial street with coffee shops, grocery stores, small businesses, etc i.e. everything someone working from home might need. Also, nearly every neighborhood has at least one park that is accessible and walkable. When people say "downtown SF" they're referring to the eastern/northeastern part of the city with all of the office buildings which is ironically the part of the city with the worst selection of coffee shops, food, parks, etc. so there is really close to zero reason for people to want to be there. Working from home in NOPA, Inner Richmond, Haight, Duboce, Noe, etc etc is quite nice and also very walkable and convenient.
I think they mean where half the screen shows a map and the other half shows Important Motivational Bike Stats (distance completed, speed, gradient, heart rate?)...

For the stats that OsmAnd can handle (e.g. speed, speed limit, elevation, ETA, you can configure what's in the pile of overlay boxes on the top right of the screen. I don't know if there's a plugin that could render the display as half-map, half-stats

Definitely - there's a whole class of stuff related to Progressive Enhancement that is being re-learned (and re-shared) every couple years, it seems like. There was whether CSS was expected to be available. In 2011, it was still being argued whether or not JS could be reliably be expected to be on. Now it's probably more about specific features of CSS/JS depending on browser support, but it's still all basically the same stuff, just maybe different techniques.

I don't know if it's still true as I heard this state a few years ago, but at one point the growth rate of new web devs meant that at any given year, more than 50% of all web devs had less than 2 years of experience.
> This is why I can never get excited about Intel doing anything outside mainline x86.

This skepticism could reasonably be extended to x86 as well, given Intel's handling of AVX-512.

The inconsistent support for various subsets of AVX-512, on different processors, makes it hard to predict whether some future processor will have the particular instructions that matter to your software.
You linked to an M1 model, but apple did not make these in 2019.
"Make it simple" is easy to throw around, but it's almost meaningless. Perception of simplicity and readability is incredibly subjective and dependent on previous experience. Beyond that it also depends on what goals the language has, because "simple" from one point of view can be oversimplified and unclear from another POV.

Rust is a systems programming language concerned with several low-level details. Programmers aren't reading Rust code for entertainment, but need to be aware of things like ownership, mutability, lifetimes, trait bounds, dynamic dispatch, and so on. Beyond being eye-pleasing, Rust also needs to be locally explicit to communicate costs, limitations, and unsafety of the code.

As the article shows, beyond just bikeshedding which ASCII sequence you use for what, the aren't many ways to simplify the syntax that don't involve hiding information or changing language semantics that could worsen performance or create unpredictability.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Deco

The covers are a 1960s minimalist deco design. Abrupt geometric shapes, the sort of stuff that is easily printed/viewed using the tech of the time. The colors are solid and few, which make printing easy. The colors are also not absolutely necessary. The shapes come through equally well in black and white media. And if you want to look good on the low-res TV of the time, you go with big solid shapes. No doubt these factors contributed to the redesign of the original cover.

Contrast the posters and covers of todays media. They like to hide lots of little detail, perhaps to promote the use of higher/brighter media formats. That's why FIFA got rid of the old soccer balls.

My personal guess is that we will first ask a computer if it is conscious and it will truthfully answer yes. Just in the same way you would try to figure out if another fellow human is conscious and in the same way a human would respond.

Then some time later as we figure out how consciousness works in the computer - as it is much easier to inspect than a human - and compare the findings with humans to see if they indeed work in a similar way, we will all be a bit disappointed that the solution is much more mundane than we thought or hoped.
Capabilities are great also! In particular at runtime.
In Erlang the fault-tolerant behavior is not builtin either, only tools to make it. You still have to make the right supervision tree, dependencies between processes, links, making sure you handle the process termination messages correctly and many other details.

In my experience in non-Erlang setups while doing requests to other services you have to check the response status and add some code handling it, so it's not really a complete afterthought. The only difference I see here is that Erlang handles failure in a real-time way, but it also can be done using some periodic task to query important services. And implementing in outside of Erlang gives more flexibility (think of Erlang cluster size and network limitations)

I'm someone who stopped after God Emperor because I was under the impression the next books were an arc and it stops in a weird place if you end where Herbert did because of his passing.

It was interesting because I struggled with Dune, made it to the time skip, and stopped. Then the recent movie came out, I decided to read the rest, enjoyed it far more, and kept going. Blasted through Messiah through God Emperor pretty quickly with I think only one pause to get another book in that had just come out.

God Emperor is certainly not for everyone but I enjoyed it a great deal.

You are completely correct if the meritocracy fails to provide a fair allocation of resources.

The way it is going, the "merit" scale equates merit with ability to gain control of money. Honesty doesn't even matter; there are many more Madoffs and SBFs of the world that haven't yet gotten caught, and everyone hails them (at least until they fall). Madoff died in jail, but only after he lived decades at the top; some would see that as a good life bargain career plan.

If we build a real meritocracy AND provide for equitable distribution of resources to even the least among us, we can do very well.

There is a lot of movement in that direction, but until the abusers at the top get the point that there will be no society even worth living above without equity, we could be headed for real darkness.
The TLDR of the article is essentially that any time a ChatGPT conversation strays to the factual (in this case a list of data ethics books), the quality of the data (whether those books exist and are written by the stated authors) is extremely low.

Ultimately this is where ChatGPT and similar projects seem most likely to hit a wall. Text generators are statistical machines, but the relationship between statistics and truth is merely probabilistic and not identical. There is no way to train ChatGPT to say things that are true, because the number of true and false statements in the world are far too numerous and too specific to ever reliably delineate. At best, we will be stuck fact-checking ChatGPT using enormously complex knowledge bases and asking it to try again until something doesn't raise a red flag, at which point it may still not be true.

For most business purposes this is unacceptable. We will have machines that can generate untruths in a way that contravene common sense, so long as those untruths don't obviously contradict whatever local database is being consulted for grounding. And the mechanisms required to re-ground the GPT output even to that unhappy state will be so complex in their own right that businesses might as well just implement a similarly complex system to handle the issue directly, without calling out to a complex, licensed GPT. Not sure whether there is a way around this.
>> All signs point to this strengthening the value of curation and authenticated sources.

> This is what they said about Wikipedia viz. Britannica...

And they were right. If "they" were wrong about anything, it was the assumption that the masses would prioritize quality over cost, but it turns out that cheap wins every time. When it comes to information, it's like most people's taste buds don't work, so they'll pick free crap over nutritious food.

Edit: Another thought came to mind: stuff like ChatGPT may contribute to killing off Wikipedia: Wikipedia is currently the cheapest and fastest way to find information (that's often crap). However, if something like ChatGPT can get information to people faster (even if it's crappier, just as long as it's minimally acceptable), Wikipedia will become much less popular and could end up just like Britannica.
That’s a fair point.

Are your rents allowed to go up that much year to year or are you moving and rents are increasing this quickly?

In Canada, renter protection laws mean rents for a tenant that stays year to year can only go up by a maximum amount set by the government, usually around inflation (though significantly less than inflation in 2022). The only way to get huge rent increases is if tenants leave the next tenant will pay whatever is agreed to with the landlord which is not capped. Many landlords try to push long term, low paying tenants out in order to turn over the unit to a new tenant at market rates, but the same renter protection laws make that challenging.
> technology does not drive history, people drive history

this fails to grasp the changing nature of agency in a world brimming with hybrid intelligence

we would perhaps like to think we and we alone "drive" history, and I agree with the author that we ought to try to, but technology carries its own inertia

nonhuman agency accretes as we interact with our implements and artifacts

this occurs even before we explicitly design autonomy into our tools, which of course we are now doing

I always thought it would be neat to have a system that takes math symbols / formulas / functions etc in the notation of a mathematician, and automatically generates highly performant implementations — sort of like Taichi but instead of using python, you just use mathematics.

Seems to me all the tools are available to accomplish this effectively now days.

Good luck on your project, in any case.

Because it creates too much friction at the point of transfer.

Decryption security should be handled in a way that the decouples user data from the device itself. There will always be theft. The impact that we have on the planet is something we can no longer afford to ignore.

This isn't an issue of turning off our brains. We have two problems we have an issue with theft and how security mechanisms that are tied directly to the device strongly prevents reuse and resale.

But for blogging it makes more sense to have those sort of platforms link to external blogs/pages.

I'm a slave to my Apple Watch and closing those rings!

It's easy to get the Stand ring closed - just stand when the watch tells you to do so. I've noticed I stand a lot longer than I'm "supposed" to.

The Fitness ring is also pretty easy to close. A brisk 2.5 mile walk does the trick. Having a dog helps in that regard.

The Activity ring is harder for me to close, especially in the Winter. I've found about 30 mins of light aerobics from a YT video closes the ring.

You're still going to need to do strength training and core training. In the Marine corps they drilled into our heads not to use weights - you gain strength at the price of flexibility and the flexibility is more highly valued. You can never go wrong with body weight. Push-ups, pull-ups, tricep dips, calf dips, lunges, planks, crunches - those all build strength. Won't do much for that Activity ring though!

Final thought - run stairs. Stairs will get you into shape like nothing else. I'm talking actual stairs, not stair machines at a gym. I know people who are marathon runners yet they're winded after running a few flights of stairs. Like I said, stairs will kick your butt and get you into shape!
LOL

I have come to both agree and disagree with you.

When I was a geeky kid, I would groan whenever someone used "football fields" as a form of relative measurement. All the time, on TV, I would be watching something educational and the host would describe something as being "more than 2 and a half football fields large!" It used to be really common and I just assumed that people were either dumb or way too obsessed with football.

As a fully grown adult, I actually came to respect the football-field as a legitimate unit of measurement. It's something we are all familiar and can wrap our minds around in a way that traditional units don't. Same thing goes for pints, cups, etc. For Silicon Valley types, maybe "Salesforce tower floors" can mean something. haha

Inches, however, can die in a bloody fire. The meter scale will always be more straight forward than having to think twice about which friggin' fraction of an inch is bigger or smaller than another.
One of the interesting things you pick up on from reading supplement blogs and fitness forums is that a lot of people have negative reactions to Omega 3 supplements. If you search for “omega-3 depression” you find a lot of stories from people whose depression started or worsened with omega-3 supplements, and resolved later.

This is a particularly interesting find given that the placebo effect would be expected to go in the opposite direction: Many of these people started the supplement because they thought it was going to improve their health, not worsen it. It can take a very long time to recognize the connection between the supplement and side effects.

Several other supplements are common contributors to depressive symptoms. Choline supplements often make irritability and depression worse. This finding isn’t surprising given that cholinergic signaling has been known to be associated with depression for decades and many powerful antidepressants are anticholinergic. Yet you can find a lot of supplement sellers pushing choline supplements as something that automatically improves brain health.

Non-competes are dog-eat-dog "fuck you" territory for me. I don't even bother negotiating. I happily sign non-competes, but will never sign a non-compete that's actually enforceable. If their lawyers want to lie to me about what's legal in my state, I'm happy to let them engage in unfair and deceptive behavior right up until there are actual damages.

More importantly, I would also happily fight them in court if it came to that (and retire on the triple damages).

I'm thinking of some of the other clauses:

1. "one-sided termination clause": Every contract in an at-will jurisdictions without a guaranteed exit bonus contains, implicitly or otherwise, a "one-sided termination clause". I have never seen a contract for "normal working stiffs" that contains an exit bonus, and I've only ever worked in at-will jurisdictions.

2. IP assignment

3. Confidentiality agreements with broad language
