Others may not know the origin of &c., so it's great that you explained. But here's a thought: Abbreviations are not about saving time typing for me. Other reasons for abbreviations:

1. Abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms are a kind of jargon that compress long words into single tokens that communicate something in a single chunk. That is more efficient for _readers_ to parse... If they are in the know.

2. Speaking of being in the know, abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms communicate which tribe you belong to, and this strengthens social bonds between writer and readers.

3. Some mediums have limited space available. Newspaper headlines, SMS messages, and the original Twitter tweets are examples of mediums with limited space. Abbreviations help compress longer messages to fit the medium.

I happen to be a very slow author compared to just about every professional I know. Since it takes me a while to think about what I write, I find that trying to find shortcuts is not helpful with code or the written word.

It is a story-playing system. Hyper-advanced Mad-Libs.

Stochastic parrot doesn't begin to cover it, because it is tuned to play out a scene in text. How the model locks on to which scene it is playing out is the problem.

People interacting seem to have too little control over what that is, and zero ways to gain insight during the process. A seed ID (for example) isn't going to do much for anyone not trained to understand LLMs.

Does Nix still have that extremely steep and high learning curve and huge time invest before you actually grok it? I'd love a Nix that is about as hard to use as homebrew, but no luck so far.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Matrix should add it as a feature.
> Like does Elon Musk demanding that Twitter engineers add a 1000 multiplier to his popularity score seem like the actions of a happy man?

Not at all, but my suspicion is that you may have causality backwards there.

I suspect that Musk is driven to do what he does by his various personality issues, rather than his personality issues being caused by his wealth.

I can understand not being satisfied with mere early retirement after PayPal, but simultaneously gambling on Tesla and SpaceX is extremely unusual, and very little about Hyperloop/TBC, Neuralink, and the purchase of Twitter really makes much sense except as a desire to be seen as a modern Da Vinci.

I've heard him described as narcissistic; I'm not qualified to say if he is that clinically or merely to the extent of an actor or YouTuber, but he certainly doesn't seem like he'll ever really feel secure in his connection to others.

I'm still not sure what to make of his clear humility about the success prospects for each new rocket's first launch, vs. the apparent hubris in every other field.
> This is not at all how every package manager works. On debian if you install a package it will just install that package and it will warn you if dependencies will require upgrading first. It won't upgrade totally unrelated packages and break everything for you.

What you're arguing about now is just that Homebrew doesn't give you a prompt. Which is a fair criticism but it doesn't really change much because if you need that other package that depends on the latest version of node, then all the prompting in the world isn't going to change the fact that you are still going to need to install that updated version.

But, as I'd mentioned before, `brew` does let you install specific versions of software too. So it's a bit of a moot point about whether you get upgraded or not since, in this circumstance, you can have your proverbial cake and eat it (ie both versions installed).

> In addition, you have different branches where the debian stable branch is extremely well tested.

Debian isn't bleeding edge and nor is it rolling release. Arch is a better comparison and people frequently complain about updates breaking things on that too (even though that does have a testing branch). To be clear, I love Arch. It is by far and away my favourite Linux and a large part of that is because of it's package management. But no system is perfect.

> Homebrew is way, way worse than any other package manager because it just breaks stuff all the time.

I agree Homebrew has it's warts. I just disagree with this particular complaint. I think Homebrew is doing the right thing here.

If you want to complain about how it has to operate outside of the core OS because it's a 3rd party tool, or its overuse of beer jargon as cute substitutes for the more recognisable package management terminologies then I'm 100% behind you. But to complain that it's keeping your system up-to-date when you haven't asked for a package to be version pinned feels more than a little unfair.

For perspective, same conversation, but different subject:

"A bicycle is all the transportation you will ever need in most cases.

I bet most non-bicycle drivers have indeed never been anywhere which couldn't have been gotten to by bike. And the bike is in fact more fully featured in some ways than some cars (when will cars shrink down? not require fuel? not pollute? cause less harm?)

I agree it's important to realize when a car may be needed, but in reality it almost never is."

Even if all of that is true... I still want to use a car, for good reasons. I may not need it, and it's more complex to use and maintain. But I get enough value from it that it's worth it.
It is a flat tax in many states. Some have a flat amount billed at registration. Some have a dystopian location-aware mile tracker to give a more accurate read on road usage. This results in a significantly smaller bill, at the cost of giving an opaque entity access to your whereabouts at all times.

Tax rebates also do not help incentivize poor people. When I bought my EV, I had already sold my house and was a year removed from my salaried SWE role. While I am not poor, I had no taxable income the year I bought my EV, and therefore did not receive any of the $5000 EV rebate; so it is functionally only an incentive for middle class and above people.

There were EV charging credits for some states, but those are / have dried up. The incentives for owning an EV are largely evaporated, and frankly the cost of owning one has been very high. It is only cost effective if you own a home. For renters / travelers using public charging, the situation is increasingly dire, with many places charging more for electricity than the cost of gasoline — without any of the logistical expenses of gasoline. The energy sector is in dire need of reform, and the grid in dire need of mass modernization.
You seem to lack any concept that something like this can be developed, tuned and improved over time. Just because it has flaws now, doesnt mean the technology doomed forever.

tldr, visual symbolisation leads to numbers. Example being Inuit's (eskimos) have many different words for the different types of snow they experience, but Europeans have maybe a few words or even just one word to describe snow.

Vocabulary is defined by your environment, which will include concepts like numbers.

Look at Hungarian notation and decimal or imperial counting schemes. Different methods of counting numbers to suit the environment they evolved from.
LN2 is not enough you need LHe for most superconductors.
It is usually cooled by LHe that is itself shieled by LN2 to limit losses.

LN2 is relatively cheap not LHe.

That's why there are recylcing systems to recover the boiling off He in MRIs, NMRs and other supraconducting systems.

There are systems that allow cooling without wasting LHe/LN2 but they are pretty limited in size or costly:

Probably a selection bias at play. The people you meet who don't trust the news for reasonable reasons aren't going to come out and state it that simply because they don't want to be associated with the people who claim they don't trust the news because the have preconceived notions which they trust any source for (even if random taxi driver) and distrust any source against (even in peer reviewed research). They likely even purposefully consume the news, realizing that even as an imperfect information source it is still an information source worth the trade off between extent of imperfect and ease to consume.
And that is why even though Mathematics aptly represents the nature, it, at least to me, is a different thing entirely. Which again begs the question, why should Mathematics be so good at depicting natural phenomenons.

Guess I was lucky then, I flashed a very similar new asus motherboard from this same generation for AMD ryzen 7000 cpu's, I used the first random usb stick lying around, wrote the bios update to it from linux, possibly had to rename the file to something specific (manually. Who needs a tool for that? Also why doesn't asus just give it the correct name in the zip file?), and flashing worked first try. May have been a usb 2.0 stick though.

Rebooting after that does take a while though (minutes) since it needs to re-learn the RAM. And this is a painful process indeed, especially when I originally just had the mobo since I had probably not seated the RAM to the fullest extent (DDR 4 seems to require pressing it very well even after it already clearly clicked in, after pushing it harder it worked well), and the only feedback from the mobo was very similar LED codes as when it "learns" the RAM, and sometimes even half working...
The solution proposed in the article is a high tech one that might help, but the real solution should be that misaligned headlights fail inspection. Inspection needs to be updated to incorporate measurement standards, and the standards need to be followed.

The Lack of Txs. Contention and Prioritization Transparency in Blockchains
Paper title: Dissecting Bitcoin and Ethereum Transactions: On the Lack of Transaction Contention and Prioritization Transparency in Blockchains

Abstract: In permissionless blockchains, transaction issuers include a fee to incentivize miners to include their transaction. To accurately estimate this prioritization fee for a transaction, transaction issuers (or blockchain participants, more generally) rely on two fundamental notions of transparency, namely contention and prioritization transparency. Contention transparency implies that participants are aware of every pending transaction that will contend with a given transaction for inclusion. Prioritization transparency states that the participants are aware of the transaction or prioritization fees paid by every such contending transaction. Neither of these notions of transparency holds well today. Private relay networks, for instance, allow users to send transactions privately to miners. Besides, users can offer fees to miners via either direct transfers to miners' wallets or off-chain payments -- neither of which are public. In this work, we characterize the lack of contention and prioritization transparency in Bitcoin and Ethereum resulting from such practices. We show that private relay networks are widely used and private transactions are quite prevalent. We show that the lack of transparency facilitates miners to collude and overcharge users who may use these private relay networks despite them offering little to no guarantees on transaction prioritization. The lack of these transparencies in blockchains has crucial implications for transaction issuers as well as the stability of blockchains. Finally, we make our data sets and scripts publicly available.

Did you work during the Trump era? Because it’s clear to me that that’s when journalists believed that their moral obligation was to further the agenda of their respective political parties and not care about the absolute truth.

That’s when things went from bad to worse and I abandoned the mainstream media entirely.
Yeah, agreed here - workload on a departure (depending on the type of departure) can be pretty heavy compared to cruise phase. Arrivals and approaches are more commonly known to have heavy workloads, but there’s a lot to do just after departure, so this doesn’t feel wildly out of bounds for a scan recovery after an autopilot mistake.
> While I use Homebrew on my Mac — it is a major risk. I am afraid that the project is not following strict security policies and will be compromised at some point. Evil package or evil version of brew can steal or modify my data.

This is a genuine question: what is your threat model, and what security policies would you like to see? It's hard to imagine a threat model that assumes an "evil version of brew" that doesn't also prevent you from installing any third-party software on your machine. Malicious packages are always possible, but Homebrew's integrity checks do an adequate (but improvable!) job of making such attacks auditable; I'm not aware of any successful supply-chain attacks mounted against Homebrew users.

I have a lot of experience with various package managers, and Homebrew is not particularly out of band with its peers (which should be read, partially, as a general indictment of packaging practices).

That's essentially what France does (and the U.S I think, to some extent with welfare?), you have a right to the "allocation chômage" which is a monthly payment from the government and your job is to find a new job.

But I don't believe in these perfectly efficient systems, like the one you describe, in which as long as we remove friction everyone can do what they want. Humans are not robots, they need emotional and social stability to thrive. A job comes with a location, social bonds, an expertise, habits ... You can't swap one for another and call it good as long as the paycheck stays the same.
a problem with tech careers is that we have to learn all the time. it never ends.

many careers do not require this. for example law. maybe you’ll have to get up to speed on a new law here or there once a year. but you will not be learning a new tool set all the time.

in tech every year there is a new tool set which means you spend every hour catching up and you will never get caught up.
Wow this looks really cool and useful! I had a thought though, if the concept here is to create a local LAN for devices on a isolated system (satellite) to send data to each other, I wonder if there is some other model than a network that might be better. I am thinking like a shared memory store with transactional operations support, key/value and pub/sub notifications etc. Sort of like a hardware version of redis? Seems like dealing with network stuff is just necessary overhead.

> Contrary to his public claims that he notified numerous NSA officials about what he believed to be illegal intelligence collection, the Committee found no evidence that Snowden took any official effort to express concerns about U.S. intelligence activities - legal, moral, or otherwise - to any oversight officials within the U.S. government, despite numerous avenues for him to do so. Snowden was aware of these avenues. His only attempt to contact an NSA attorney revolved around a question about the legal precedence of executive orders, and his only contact to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Inspector General (IG) revolved around his disagreements with his managers about training and retention of information technology specialists.

> Despite Snowden's later public claim that he would have faced retribution for voicing concerns about intelligence activities, the Committee found that laws and regulations in effect at the time of Snowden's actions afforded him protection. The Committee routinely receives disclosures from IC contractors pursuant to the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act of 1998 (IC WPA). If Snowden had been worried about possible retaliation for voicing concerns about NSA activities, he could have made a disclosure to the Committee. He did not.

Since manually scrolling through 10M rows is not likely... at that point isn't it better to just use an SQL DB rather than a spreadsheet?

Banks, spend management platforms, hotels, concierge services, events & experiences marketplaces, employee reward providers, or any brand that has some kind of loyalty programs.

There are a few reasons why such companies might want to offer flights (and other travel services) through their own product. A non-exhaustive list:

- Retention: a credit card company or bank might offer points and wants customers to redeem these points for travel. An hotel might want to offer flights so that their customers can stay within their ecosystem rather than going to an OTA (which will offer million of other hotel products)

- Monetisation: capture extra margin points from selling these products

- UX: tighter integration between their own software and the travel booking piece, i.e a spend management platform layering approval flows, policies, on top of a booking engine
I built a PM2.5 and PM10 monitoring "box" for Home Assistant when we got our log-stove installed.

The goal was to know how bad the air quality would be in our living room / home.

Having used it for several weeks, now I've learned a couple of things;

The air quality _in_ the house is usually _much_ better than it is outside, for example, I measure an average of 1-2ug/m3 inside, but if I take it outside or open the window it can rise to 20-30ug/m3, we live on a fairly busy road. I looked into the UK air quality guidelines and the advice is literally to "close your windows".

Second, the log stove has no effect on the (PM) air quality in the living room when burning properly, however, opening the door to refuel, or not lighting it to a proper burn can cause the levels to shoot up to 70ug/m3 or as high as 200ug/m3 if you let a lot of smoke out while dicking around with the fire, this has a pretty slow fall-off and usually takes hours to drop back to "normal".

I want a CO2 monitor next to check CO2 levels too.
