I find the concept of pre-human civilisations fascinating. For how long would we be able to find our own civilisation’s remains and what would they look like in a million years, or a 100 million?
If you are OK with just having an IPv6 IP, you can live in a country like the Netherlands and simply use your home connection to serve your Web page. Almost like it was intended by forefathers...
Similar. Teen(ish) in the 80s. Only during my early 30s did I learn that during that era, the nuke to end us all could very well drop, and it had one of the worst economic crises ever.

Had no idea during it all, didn't notice. Nor do I think I'd worry much about it had I known.

What that tells me is that modern teens over over-informed, it is non-stop, and the messaging is extremely negative.
Also in Sweden, before the invention of postal codes the shortest address was "Bo i Bo". There was a person named Bo living in a village named Bo, and "i" is Swedish for "in".

I think we should only expect this situation to get worse, and apply to a majority of society. This will then perhaps further incentivize the Govt to put in place some sort of a universal basic income type of program. This segment of the population is most likely to vote, so it will not be long before we vote ourselves all the money.

Thoughts? Comments?
What I've been seeing with the caveat that I may just be more aware of the senior people is a significant number of people with 10+ years tenure at the company leaving.

I started painting miniatures again a few years ago and my appreciation (and vocabulary) for colors has dramatically expanded, especially when I started mixing primaries from scratch. I literally see the world in a different, richer way. I wish I would have realized this sooner.

Maybe gutting art programs in American public schools was a bad idea.
Many countries have good social safety nets. Many other countries have social ties, where the parents support the kids until they get too old, then the kids support the parents. The US doesn't really have either.
Reasonable in this context I'd understand as:

1. ThingDoerFactoryFacadeFactoryInstaniatorService trying to represent the reality of an abstraction meant to represent a reality (an indirection that isolates the domain in that level of abstraction of an abstraction).

2. ThingCreator. An abstraction named in a way that is closer to direct reality (and that can perfectly hide its own inner complexities using composition and they could be as many or more than the ridiculous example in 1).

Note that people that, conscious or unconsciously, exclude the inverted pyramid principle fall into creating 1 and people that, conscious or unconsciously, embrace it, tend to create 2 in "a reasonable" way.
I've never made music as relevant as renaissance or classical music, but that's not my goal. I play for my own enjoyment, turns out some people also like watching me play which is pretty cool.

I think it's easy as an artist to put our own social position ahead of the actual goal: listeners should be able to enjoy music that evokes feeling/joy/relaxation/excitement. Whether that's 300 year old classical, a garage band or AI generated pop doesn't really matter. Lots of people had the same complaints about 3 chord DIY punk. Gatekeeping the creation of art seems elitist and anti-listener/viewer/reader...
She's getting $0 in social security now and will be likely getting over $1500 a month at age 70. Her medical expenses will be mostly covered by Medicaid.

$1500/month is not sunshine and rainbows, but it's not starving in the streets either.
Retirement savings means investments, not FDIC insured savings accounts. However, it has not been that long that it has been as easy as opening a Vanguard/Fidelity/Schwab account and buying an index ETF or target retirement date ETF, so I cannot blame someone in their 50s and 60s today for not following advice that has only been easily accessible for 15 or 20 years.

Why should Netflix have to pay my ISP? I already paid them!
This was from 2002, when most JavaScript was authored and consumed as "JavaScripts" - little opaque snippets you could download from places like dynamicdrive.com and paste into a script tag to add some kind of "dynamic" effect to a page (hide/show content on click, for example).

It was almost universally thought of as a toy language that wasn't even as good as VBScript.

It took David Flanagan's JavaScript: The Definitive Guide and Douglas Crockford's JavaScript: The Good Parts for people to begin taking it seriously. Prior to that, any serious client-side code was authored as a Java applet or in Flash.
This trues up with what I'm anecdotally seeing in my clients. RTO-3 days or even RTO-5 days is being pushed aggressively in some of them, and the general feeling amongst their rank and file is it is a stealth layoff (no severance for those leaving due to the policy switch is a big financial incentive for the companies). A big challenge I'm not seeing really addressed though is a lot of staff at my clients stepped up big time to do more with less during the pandemic and put in more than full time hours, reasoning that they'll just work during what normally would have been their commute time. That slack their companies enjoyed is now being yanked out of the ecosystem as many simply don't have more to give once they start commuting again. Quite a few put in even put in way more.

I saw this organically happen both pre- and post-pandemic. Pre-pandemic, it was rare if a Slack or email I sent to client staff was answered off hours. During the latter half of the pandemic and post-pandemic with those in WFH situations, it became much more common as staff learned to communicate all the time during brief idling periods while going about their off hours days and evenings. I'm going to miss this low-latency communication, but it is what it is.

If this is an actual secular trend instead of mere n=1 anecdata, then it will stack on the demographic trend baked in of ever-fewer workers for the next 20-odd years (assuming there is a baby boom in the next 3-4 years, which by current family and household formation statistical trends is still looking unlikely).
Thanks for all the tips and the linked thread! Lot of good info there. I’m flying into Bogota and will be spending some time there as well as Los Llanos and the coffee regions, probably Medellin as well. I might try to make it up to Cartagena area, I’ve heard of a neat seeming “lost city” multi-day backpacking tour.
In the US, inequality has been increasing pretty steadily since the 1970s, with periodic brief dips. 10 years ago, we thought that we could hold global warming to 1.5°C over the course of the century. Of course, we've blown past that already, and if everyone cooperated, which we won't, we could probably hold it to 3°C now. Current median predictions are worse than the "worst case, won't happen" predictions of 10 years ago. Covid and other zoonotic diseases are deeply intertwingled with climate change; Covid is not the last pandemic we're going to see in our lifetimes.

When I was a kid in the 80s, we were living under the shadow of nuclear annihilation. That threat seemed to recede, but really, we just forgot about it. Now it's worse than it was then, because it seems that the social mechanisms we had for preventing it during the Cold War no longer exist.

Is ChatGPT AI an Inventor? Patent Office Challenges Imagination Engines Inc
Yeah, like I said, the article is about a 66-year-old single mother of three working two jobs to stay afloat. She already had to move in with two roomates because she can't afford otherwise. Let's not blind ourselves to our own privilege, lest we become "let them eat cake" people. Many Americans cannot afford to steadily invest in a passive portfolio and don't have a realistic avenue to live any more frugally than they already to to any meaningful, life-improving extent.
I think you are overestimating the amount of difference the special tokens make. GPT will pay attention to any part of the text it pleases. You can try to train it to differentiate between the system and user input, but ultimately it just predicts text and there is no known way to prevent user input from getting it into arbitrary prediction states. This is inherent in the model.

Note carefully the wording in the documentation, which describes how to insert the special tokens:

> Note that ChatML makes explicit to the model the source of each piece of text, and particularly shows the boundary between human and AI text. This gives an opportunity to mitigate and eventually solve injections

There is an "opportunity to mitigate and eventually solve" injections, i.e. eventually someone might partially solve this research problem.
If you have non-mortgage debt, it makes no sense saving (unless you're just saving for a temporary large purchase like a house).
My current place does that, but we still don't really hire juniors so who knows if it works.

In society broadly, you're absolutely right. For most of the folks reading these comments, we do (though that's obviously changing given the downturn).
On that note, I think the GDPR banner problem won't be solved until the UI is shown at the browser level, just like tracking permission dialogs on mobile: having the same UI for all sites would prevent tricking users into over-complicated form because at least it would be the same form everytime.

Right now, too many end users get fatigue fooled into blaming the EU rather than the companies tracking them, whereas on mobile they are aware that it's Facebook triggering the dialog, not the EU: just see how many users end up refusing Facebook tracking when they have a clear choice that doesn't push them one way or the other.

It would even help companies who currently delegate handling GDRP to thirdparty services that prey on small companies worried about being non-compliant.
Is there a universal language? (2017)
I think they'd consider that out of scope, which for me is a feature rather than a bug.

The project is really about providing the runtime, rather than batteries-included application framework as many mobile platforms provide. Perhaps they are targeting web/rust developers more than native mobile developers?

All the things you would like to see in an example have well-established ways of doing in a web application. Camera access is a good example, where the javascript way of doing is through navigator.getUserMedia(). I imagine it would be supported by Tauri where the underlying browser engine supports it. Tauri provides filesystem access as well, as you don't have that in a web page.
I see plenty of problems - for example you've got 1 supercharger in Lithuania - if you don't want to spend hours around charging station - you're forced to go that single route which doesn't work doing road trips
> True, but UTC drift calculations on earth are different from on the moon.

Hey reference clock, what time do you see? Oh, it's X? And I'm at Y? Okay, I'll adjust my drift correction factor to Z.

They might drift more than good modern-day clocks, and the latency to the reference clock might be higher, but the basic mechanism of correcting for the drift shouldn't be any different.

What's the difference between taking a good clock to the moon, where it runs 56 microseconds fast each day, versus having a less-tuned oscillator that runs 56 microseconds fast each day?
"the city" means "a legal goverment". An ISP is not a government, however much they might wish to get away with pretending to be...if and only if & when that bit of pretend happens to be convenient to them.

If the ISP's customer has paid for "Down_Mbps/Up_Mbps internet service", then either the ISP needs to deliver the bits, or deliver a refund. If the ISP's management can't figure out how to calculate their costs, and charge enough to turn a profit, then either the shareholders or the government need to replace them with management who can.
My friends and I have no formal, agreed-to system about this. But what we actually do is never use our phones during a conversation, even to search for things -- unless, as sometimes happens, the group collectively decides an authoritative answer is actually needed. Then we select someone who is the official "searcher" and they look it up.

This isn't a conscious thing, it's just the pattern of behavior that has naturally emerged.

Look, I think that it's fair to say most people don't need trucks. If you haven't driven on a gravel road, or haven't towed anything in the last year... you don't need a truck.

But I legit spend a month a year on my family ranch... I still have relatives who live out there full time. 20,000 acres, nearest neighbor is 10 miles away, nearest gas station is 30 miles away, nearest grocery store is 70 miles away.

There aren't a lot of ranchers left, but it's not a fantasy for them. They need stuff that works. I don't know why you find that hilarious.

And for that matter... CA and TX both have energy production issues. We can't keep our homes powered during a blizzard, or during August, and I have serious doubts that adding more EVs to the grid will be sustainable.

Love to be proven wrong, but all the EVs come across as "rich man toys" to me still. Would the light stay on if everyone had a Tesla to virtue signal in?
It's a delight to see smaller humans feel so happy around the bed!

Wait that's the whole article? What is this proposed "tax"? Are ISPs lobbying the government to levy a new tax? Is this just a colloquial term for a fee between private businesses? What do the ISPs say about this? Did the Netflix CEO make up this story to sound cool in their keynote?
Interesting. Still pretty limiting but I can see creative ways of working around the limitations. Thanks for sharing!
Japan is another great example as they're now seeing population decline by the millions.

I think we often forget just how many of us there are on this planet (or even in a given country). Each of those million people all had their own homes, lives, businesses, and so on. And as the country sees population decline, much of that just gets left to rot. Homes that have been completely abandoned, usually because the owner died and left no heir, even have a term - akiya. Here's [1] an image search with all sorts of them. They make up more than 13% of all homes in Japan now. They have more homes than people to live in them!

And if things don't suddenly turn around in dramatic fashion, soon there will be tens of millions of these sort of places. In some you may even find the old owner. There's also a term for that - kodokushi [2].

Sure, and if you can't get stuff in and out of Python objects with concurrency, it doesn't help you much a lot of the time. Plus, again, computing is cheap: it'd be nice to use all my cores before I spend a lot of effort optimizing and rewriting things in native code.

Me neither: probably 95% of the 200 or so songs on my Apple Music playlist are from high school (1963-66).

They sure sound a whole lot better now than they did on crummy AM car radio....

I've never had much interest in Spotify or discovering new music but I know I'm in a small minority.

qBittorrent WebUI path traversal vulnerability (Win 4.5.1)

DejaVu is not a websafe font, meaning you cannot rely on it being available.
Why we can't just require browsers to include DejaVu or another open font is another question - not like the size matters compared to all the other crap they ship. Heck, some even ship their own fonts already, but only for emojis.

Even having some defined meta fonts with rough metrics so that you could say font-face: monospace-standard or whatever and have the text be roughly the same size everywhere would save so much effort and wasted data.
Nonsense. Those things didn’t churn out new finished compositions. At best, they added a track using a few parameters.

This is entirely different. Your comment can easily have been generated by an LLM. Operating at scale, human comments and articles would literally become 0.00001% of all comments and articles, and on average probably would be lower quality anyway, in both breadth of “knowledge” and lack of civility. Once people come to overwhelmingly prefer digital content, all those charming platitudes about how human ingenuity / whatever can never be replaced, will melt away. “The crowd” will be 99.9999% automated processes.

Do you want a human to make your fries and smile a fake smile as they give them to you?

Do you want a human to operate your elevators? Produce your clothes and shoes by hand? You are spoiled by the thread count and consistency of machines there. Why not in digital content?
And if that was a point someone wanted to make, then they're free to be specific about what they think should be included - which is also widely and publicly available information because the US budget is in fact not secret in it's volume of spending by category, it's annually published information by law.
Fair. To me the important question here is, will it reach a point of being almost flawless? I have no answer to that.
This podcast launch was announced here: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/03/01/fossified-pilot-episo...

What I like about this is, it is not a commercial podcast with sponsors etc. (at least not yet) and the style of conversation reminds me of podcasts from the early days of podcasting. The only reason you would tune in is because you care about what they care about, and it is not about the style of delivery, quality of recording, pace of converstation and so on...
Ha, I dig the undertone that the key is in being at the appropriate level of effort put into the hunt for drugs&sex.
I implemented a module with objects the other day.

Five or ten years ago, in the heart of my object-oriented career, this would not have been noteworthy. The last couple years, however, I've managed to enter what almost feels like a post-OO phase of development steeped in javascript (and typescript) which commonly flows between procedural and functional.

Long story short, on this particular assignment, objects made sense. They are short-lived, isolated in a module, and model the domain exceptionally well.

This feels like the right balance to me compared to the decade of horrors I was complicit in building "object-oriented codebases". OO should be one tool that is known, studied, and reached for only when needed.

I'd go so far as to say that the literature around OO might be more useful if it was written from that perspective. Perhaps too many Java consultants, thought-leaders, and shamans have led the conversation around OO since the 90's.
I definitely need that, thanks for sharing!
I wonder if the author posted the letter from a local post box. It could be that locality improves the chances of it reaching its desired address. E.g I wonder what happens if the letter was posted from a more remote location in the UK.
My favourite was the one addressed simply “Gobshites”, with no further details.

It was successfully and correctly delivered to the Dáil (the lower house of the Irish parliament).

But all the customers of Netflix are already paying for this traffic? The reason consumers are even willing to pay what they do for Internet is because of services like Netflix. Being an ISP is already a high margin business, there is no shortage of funds for investment. EU countries have had the fastest connections in the world for a while now. If you want wealth transfer from American companies that innovate to stagnating European companies you can just say so, no need to rationalize.
I’m a bit confused, is the German government formally opposing client-side scanning requirements or not? The article is about civil society groups voicing their concerns at a parliamentary hearing and notes that the parliament doesn’t have a say in EU legislation. But it specifically says the government wants client-side scanning removed without any specifics on that part.
