To be honest, I think it is my history with the vendor. I know them to be flaky so I keep anal documentation of minute changes one version to the next. It is genuinely just an excel spreadsheet, but there is a focus on changes they introduce along with dates since I was burned before.

The issue was fairly unique and actually tested for and the list of implemented defect fixes in testing env. was listed on our end ( and maybe for once the fact we don't use confluence helped ), which helped to narrow it down on the vendor's side ( I am not sure what they use internally ) and it certainly helped that there were only two related projects for that specific move for the date the issue occurred.

FWIW, it is possible that I am just still relatively new to this ( 3 years for the testing part ) so all the issues we experience don't all blend together yet.

edit: Apologies, as I re-read it, my response feels fairly generic, but I am not sure I can discuss more details.
1. Inflation does not make it more useful for exchange.

You want something that holds 1-to-1 exchange through time for it to be useful for exchange. E.g. stock market appreciate versus goods, and dollar depreciates. You want something that's actually stable.

2. Just because there's more liquidity available, does not the dollar have better monetary properties than Bitcoin. I think the author is talking about monetary in the terms of monetary policy of the dollar versus Bitcoin.

3. I don't see how Bitcoin's appreciation versus other cryptocurrencies prove any point.
>Europe is aging, it's looking backwards and has very interest in the future.
Really curious of what you call "future" here. I could be wrong, but this concept usually hides some very dogmatic opinions.
I think this is one of the few things Prusa actually gets right- it takes serious gall to carbon copy something (there are plenty of cheap, mostly Chinese printers out there, but the vast majority are fairly different to the Mk3, not outright clones)- but not even the cloniest of cloners would dare to call it an Original Prusa i3 MK3s sold by Prusa Research by Josef Prusa.
I think there's some ambiguity re Windows 11 hardware reqs. I was unable to upgrade an older laptop, with it labeled as "not supported" (Older Surface Pro), but I was able to do a clean install from USB.
It's just a silly scenario. Nobody gets more in assistance then it costs to raise a child.

People might scam the system because they can't afford the kids they have, but nobody is having more kids just to scam the system.
> It is backed by the only thing that backs any form of money: the credibility of its monetary properties.

The “credibility” of the US Dollar, or any government-backed currency, has a lot to do with the amount of power that government has.

If, in America, an American citizen has a bunch of USD stolen from them, they can go to the government. In an ideal world, the government will find the thieves, get the money back, and dole out justice.

If that same person gets Bitcoin stolen from them, there’s nothing they can do.

Similarly, if the USD starts to lose its value, you can bet the government will do everything in its power to stop it from losing value. The US government has a lot of power to make changes that will actually effect this change, too, such as raising interest rates to fend off high inflation.

If the value of Bitcoin starts deflating, however, no one can really do anything.

So yes, sure, in a philosophical, pedantic way, Bitcoin is backed by something. But it’s worse than any major currency. In fact, it’s worse than the worst stock, because if market sentiment changes, there’s quite literally nothing _else_ propping up its value.
I've never conceptualized of burnout as trauma, but this makes a lot of sense. The best definition I've read of trauma is, "an event or series of events that overwhelm a persons' ability to cope." Almost like tearing a muscle by trying to lift something that's just too heavy to bear.

But if burnout is trauma, is taking a break from work really enough to resolve the trauma? I ask because that seems insufficient in the case of other traumas, e.g. undergoing physical or emotional abuse, surviving violent accidents, etc.
When it comes to colorblindness, it doesn’t make much sense to ask if a single color is recognizable. Color blindness is a difficulty in distinguishing between different colors - some pairs of colors that are visibly contrasting to normal sight may not be visibly contrasting to colorblind sight, such as red/brown, brown/green, and red/green.

There are three main mechanisms of colorblindness, corresponding to the three main types of light receptors in the eye: deutan (green-weak), protan (red-weak), and tritan (“blue-weak”, although this is not a common term). About three quarters of color vision issues are deutan, one quarter is protan, less than 1% is tritan.

When you go out into the world and start interacting with contrasting color pairs, both green-weak and red-weak color vision cashes out as “red-green colorblindness”, while blue-weak cashes out as “blue-green colorblindness”. None of these have issues distinguishing yellow/orange from blue.

Presumably this is actually the motivation for the international air safety color being orange, as it’s easily distinguishable from blue sky.

As a lawyer friend of mine put it, when working between academics and industry in other countries: "Contracts and licenses are not deflector shields. You have to be willing to sue in that country. If you don't trust your partners, a piece of paper isn't going to fix that."
Didn't I say Twitter would turn into Parler 2.0? It's well on its way.

EMI-RFI Hunting (2010)
I've heard all this. What I've not heard is a plausible, concrete mechanism for it to happen. Only wild speculation.

Questions: define "better then human levels"? Better in what respects? What is the mechanism by which it improves itself, especially one that isn't wholly reliant on human cooperation? What is the actual motive for "turning on humans"? Current AIs don't seem to have motives at all; it's kind of a bio-evolved thing. How will a suitably motivated AI get access to enough physical power to "wipe us out", bearing in mind that would be a tall order even for a major nuclear power going rogue, to say nothing if having to work through manipulated servants (and don't forget that "human level intelligences", or greater if you don't collaborations, armed with dedicated neural circuitry for empathy, have been working on how to manipulate people for literal millennia with spotty results.

All of these things have to go exactly wrong for AGI to be what kills us. Something else will almost certainly get us first.
I think some people have a romantic vision of open source contributors: nerds that feed themself with "likes" on GitHub, simpleton that waste a significant part of they free time to write code to benefit few smart guys able to valorise they sweat enriching their companies. But "Open Source" is NOT free, there are licenses that must be respected and a company that use 1:1 an open source project , WITHOUT contribute to it development in any way, WITHOUT to release the modified source code, using the open source material to COMPETE against the entity that respect the license, commits a crime. You reflect on that primarily when the economy isn't that good and massive layoff leave the same open source contributors without a job. IMHO, I think that the system of licensing and enforcement of the open source licenses must be rethought. Moreover I personally saw company using 'free for open source' tools to develop commercial products , doing, in that way , unfair competition to honest companies that pay the due licenses. I'm also reflecting about my open source stuff, for sure I'll make some change about what I release and how. So, in short I think Mr. PRůša is right, releasing later the blueprints ensure at least some level of protection against unfair concurrence by cloners that if you have a company with employees expose them nd their families to layoffs. It is HIS RIGHT. But, again, I think the "open source system" should be modified to insure to open source contributors some degrees of rights protection.
In that analogy, what do you think would happen to Idaho if the Idaho government tried to refuse the feds from arresting the terrorists responsible?
The problem with any asset purporting to be money is that the final requirement for it to truly be money is belief.

Bitcoin can be the best technical alternative for money, which I believe it currently is, but if people in general do not believe it is money then it simply is not money. But in fact, the bar is even lower than that for Bitcoin (or any alternative money's failure) - if the government(s) decide that you cannot accept Bitcoin (or any money) easily in trade, then it loses dominance as money (and thus is not really).

When people say Bitcoin is not backed by anything, the intuition they are trying to communicate is that Bitcoin's value relies on people believing and accepting that value (of course so does the US Dollar, but look who is in the ring fighting for it).

What people truly want out of a crypto-currency is value which is more objective, which is not reliant on the belief of others; it is the difference between a monetary chain, like Bitcoin, and a commodity chain.

> The author pulled an old laptop from under their desk

The blog post doesn't say it was old. Did you misread So far, I have only used it a couple of times to debug old software I wrote long ago that needed some fixes ?
Windows 11 is horrendous but so is this article. I've installed Windows 11 on probably 10 machines and I've never seen 'TikTok' preinstalled but assuming that it can be in certain regions it really isn't that difficult to remove the default bloatware apps. As for the rest of the problems this guy mentions, has he ever heard of Group Policy? Even if you're on a version that doesn't have access to GPEdit, what about the Registry?

Windows 11 has a fuckload of problems and is objectively a step or 12 backwards in terms of configurability, but this article doesn't really sell the problems very well IMO.
Awesome! It was in Russian Hill Bookstore on Polk. Lmk if you find it!
The author never uses the word ‘old’ in regards to the laptop.
This statement is a theory and it is not a widely accepted or a proven one. Yet, I do see it in my lab research notebooks on generative AI (that date at ~2017). I think it is a good theory. Haven’t seen anything that contradicts it badly so far…

If you haven’t done the above, I’d suggest doing it. It’s fun and gives a good perspective :)
Unfortunately in corporate America there are many people who are simply coasting towards retirement. It’s quite difficult to motivate someone when they only have three years left.
If it can be reproduced, that'd be helpful. We'd need to know what the client was, what the requests were like, etc. Caddy 2.6 works great with videos from our own testing and production experience.
Not quite:

Bitcoin is backed by greater fools trying to pump the price up and other fools trying to buy into the pyramid scheme.

But seriously it is backed by entirely nothing but speculation.

History will not be kind to Bitcoin and its delusional supporters. It will definitively and inevitably end up on the scrap heap of other failed experiments and bubbles like Tulip Mania and Beanie Babies.

It (through its Interbase inheritance) was the first production database to implement MVCC.
He also gets goodwill from it. The number of people, including fairly significant figures in the 3D printing world, will knock some of his logical competitors (Bambu) for not being open source.

Each Prusa printer has some of its price premium attributable to "We like Joseph Prusa", and a lot (but not all) of that comes down to being open source.

Gabriel Fauré's Pavane Op. 50 is an example of a song that really turns into something drastically different when played much slower than the prescribed tempo. To me it sounds much better that way. In the case of this rendition of Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, it's a bit more subtle though. It really does allow you to hear the strings resonate more like you quoted, and to me, it makes the entire piece sound even more contemplative than it already did.
It’s kind of weird that you saw those. I got to the end and saw “More Tweets” and left. I had to go back and scroll further down to even see what you were talking about.

Doesn't Group Policy only work in Pro, which costs $100 to upgrade to? Even if you're rich enough to afford that without thinking twice, do you really want to reward Microsoft with more money for their bad behavior?
Yours and the other 2 comments are a descent into madness.

It's insane.
I initially closed the tab in disgust but reopened it to hate read it further to even more completely confirm my own disgust. This is why modern "gaming" which is closer today to flashy fantasy oriented story telling (where you press (x) to advance the story) just doesn't appeal to me. I have nothing wrong with movies or RPGs of the old sort where it's just one drawn out story, but I usually expected most of a "game" to be playing a game, where there is skill involved, where you can lose, where there is difficulty, where there is fun. I literally ctfl-f'ed "fun" and it doesn't appear in the article at all, what is the point of a game that isn't fun?

It's good to see game "designers" from the big studios really are to blame here. While I've long since grown out of my teenage elitist disgust concerning "top 20" music the truth is games continue to a good place where "popular" usually defaults to "bad."

Because I believe that in my essence I am essentially just information contained in my brain.. and I believe that if such information can be sufficiently preserved for a sufficiently long period of time, then I believe that such information can be recovered in sufficient quantities so that the person that I am can be revived or live again some other means or ways.. that might mean immortality for me because information could be considered immortal.. therefore I signed up for cryonics, the practice of freezing the brain after death so that the brain can be preserved for long periods of time in order for some revival to take place in the distant future.. if there were no such thing as cryonics, I would be floating on a raft in the Amazon right now, because there really isn't much point to all this other stuff in my opinion

"We rely on plants for everything we eat"

This struck me as a bit absolute, and I immediately thought of mushrooms, but I believe they may in turn rely largely on organic matter such as plants. There are some worms and other animals that can survive on bacteria, so I suppose you could theoretically eat those and invalidate this quote. However, it seems to be more true than I immediately suspected.
I’m not a big fan of these features and i turn them off right away. MS is going to where the consumers are. anyone under 30 will expect this content . imagine a 20 year old using windows 2k and the only real apps are notepad and ms paint .

We give companies too much blame for providing consumers what they want.

MS could do a better job with transparency and control of these features. But i don’t believe the blame is being put in the right place .

also the hyperbole is too much

Yeah, I don't 100% trust the new CurseForge app for updating World of Warcraft addons, but it's kind of necessary when you have 10+ addons. But with some poking and a Windows Sandbox configuration file, I can just launch it in a sandbox now and mount the addons directory, update/install, and wipe the sandbox.

It's a neat Sandboxie replacement once you start playing with mounts and startup scripts.

Yes, you're correct. However, nonlocal hidden theories bring other issues that don't seem plausible. That's why the best current quantum field theories do make radiation a purely random event. None use nonlocal hidden variables.

Having never lived in a Windows world I had no idea what life was like on the other side.

So many times on HN I read about how MacOS is bad for the user, locked down, rubbish etc etc.

But if this article is true then Windows 11 is absolutely insane. That is what anti consumer looks like. Not SIP. Not poor documentation. Not first party apps.

While those of us who use Apple’s OS fear for the worst, those in Windows appear to be receiving it.

"By law, after insured depositors are paid, uninsured depositors are paid next, followed by general creditors and then stockholders. In most cases, general creditors and stockholders realize little or no recovery. Payments of uninsured funds only, called dividends, depend on the net recovered proceeds from the liquidation of the bank's assets and the payment of bank liabilities according to federal statute. While fully insured deposits are paid promptly after the failure of the bank, the disbursements of uninsured funds may take place over several years based on the timing in the liquidation of the failed bank assets.

Sous vide is long waterbath at around 55 C or lower. Not a typical plastic safety issue temperature.

You might consider it unlikely, but would you bet the future of our species on that?

A couple reasons why it might kill all of us before leaving the planet:

- The AI might be worried if it leaves us alone, we'll build another ASI which competes with it for galactic resources.

- If the ASI doesn't regard us at all, why not use all the atoms on Earth / in the sun before venturing forth?

In your comment you're ascribing a specific desire to the ASI: You claim it would try to "preserve that bright blue dot". Thats what a human would do, but why would we assume an arbitrary AI would have that goal? That seems naive to me. And especially naive given the fate of our species and our planet depends on being right about that.
> Some people recommended tools to me which can be used to switch most of those things off. But honestly: How do you trust a system (or its manufacturer) if you can't even know if those settings, which you deliberately chose, persist?

Good perspective for businesspeople who tend to create a false equivalence between being a successful fast follower in the market and being a successful innovator, as though the market oxygen which fast followers seek were simply something that would still be 'in the room' without innovators' R&D and commercialization first putting it there.

Nitpick, but:

> Arduino literally opened their platform to competitors and flourished.

Arduino as a hardware manufacturer has collapsed in relevance in the last 5 years, in part because they were continually undercut by clones and similar/compatible hardware. In their case, it seems intentional, Arduino IDEs openly allow other manufacturers to add support for new boards. I think this was always the ethos of the Arduino project, so it’s hard to make a comparison to Prusa

Abortion was only legalized in Ireland in 2018.

Abortion is one of the few cultural topics which doesn't tend towards borad consensus. E.g. acceptance of gay rights has a tipping point and then drifts towards the 90s+%, but abortion does not.
