I suspect part of the problem is that since there's no "off-the-shelf" solution, and with the entire category being more-or-less off-limits for the hobbyist, pirate-style radio is going to be done with random mispurposed or home-made gear that almost certainly ignores ALL the rules, not just the inconvenient ones.

Is there a "turnkey" solution for someone who wants a broadcast radius bigger than the "talking real estate sign" with a 100-metre radius, but smaller than the smallest commercial/non-profit products? I know there was a lot of talk about low-power FM a few years back, but I think that was still at a level of cost, complexity and licensing far above a lot of the potential audience.

If we had a few nationally allocated free-for-all spots on the FM and TV bands, I'd expect to see such products appear very quickly. Since they'd be made by legitimate manufacturers with the desire to stay in business, they'd generally be well-behaved and have controls limited to stay within bounds, but that would probably be enough to satisfy the niche of "I want to control what's on the radio." Yeah, the channels would be a complete noise mess, but we already did that with CB and the various bands we allocated for Wi-Fi.
Iphones are 3 generations ahead in terms of single core CPU performance, so that’s just a biased take.
Very unusual to see so many of these in one place!
Too bad about that "share of electricity from low-carbon sources" chart[0] -- using a gradient of the same color makes it really hard to see the difference between, say, 80% and 100% when looking at the map... Would have been nice if they used a color palette with more contrast!

For me monopolies, even natural ones, are maintained due to power structures in society. If you see most natural monopolies that are privately owned there's usually a political system that allows that to occur and a well connected powerful actor. AI has the ability to break the one power structure keeping the middle class intact - that being they still technically need people to "think on the ground" to provide the things they want. i.e. output is still a function of labor. AI breaks the need for "labor" to be a required input into the production line long term - i.e. it will no longer be a large economic factor of production.

My personal view: AI makes most of the world's population in the long run surplus to requirements for people who own capital, societal power and the planet's scarce resources. That's a form of monopoly.
I am the user, and if I allow only Screenshot and Whatsapp images folder to be accessed by your deduplication app, I want it to work on these 2 folders only, without accessing my camera. Same for lets say backup app.
Oooh I had no idea we had these. I'll get one and make my next batch of kimchi in it. Merci l'Alsacien·ne!
It's hard - the fast product really required them getting a network-effect and that required a lot of hype.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad pitch, but clearly it was a business that was only ever going to either be wildly-successful or a complete disaster, and nothing in the middle.

Also they were probably way-too-late and stripe were much better positioned.

(And I'm not suggesting that those two scenarios are equally likely - it had probably a 5% payoff chance!).
From the article

> She is now launching Inclusive Sportswear CIC, a community-interest company specializing in the development of rigorously inclusive sportswear policies and guidance for schools, clubs, sport organizations and brands.
It will be little solace for the 98% of employees that get laid of by AI to know that at least 2% if their co-workers remain employed.

In other words, AI doesn't have to do anything perfectly to replace a large percentage of the workforce.
And it definitely is. We manage to do tolerable kimchi, kimchi-flavoured everything was not so impressive.

I used to use a download manager because it allowed me to pause a download, turn off my PC, and continue the next day, which made sense in the days of 56k.
> if the US was trying much harder to save babies than other developed nations (which doesn't pass the smell test IMO), that should only result in a lower infant mortality rate, not a higher one, unless their efforts were somehow having a negative impact on survival.

Think about it some more - it will result in a higher rate because others would classify it as a miscarriage. Your own cite says:

"variations in recording of births and deaths at the limits of viability compromises international comparisons."

Depreciation is a legitimate business expense. You're arguing that corporations really have two sets of books - one for the IRS and then one where we use your definition of profits. They didn't make profits according to the IRS accounting rules. IRS accounting rules on what profits are are the only rules that matter.
Glad you published this as I was confused about which path to take. Seeing complex items such as LLMs being built on top of general micro service architecture inspires me to create something with this technology.
yes, but does AI can deliver mail to Dorothy, Gloucester, VA (see one of root comments)
Kimchi refrigerators tend to maintain a temperature just around or even slightly below freezing, which would be bad for regular fruits and vegetables. (Kimchi has a lower freezing point because of its salinity.) The temperature can be adjusted to produce the type of kimchi you like, optimized for fast fermentation or long-term storage, or even turned all the way down so you can use the whole machine as a giant freezer.

They're really versatile. The oversized compartments are perfect for storing a large amount of galbi, watermelons, beer, etc. especially since you can set different temperatures for each compartment. I don't know anyone who uses one exclusively for kimchi anymore.
Can you point to some resources (discussions/blogs/papers) on these? I was under impression that the reason recent database kernels are in C++ is because the authors are more proficient in it which should change as Rust becomes more popular.
With all these advances in AI, why can't we get automated handwriting recognition? I'm still trying to decipher my grandma's letters.
> Granted, I haven't looked at prices in a long time. I am mostly assuming not insane costs

I'm not sure what "insane" would mean in this contect, but replacement blades for the no-name Gillette clone I bought are half the price of original Gillette ones.

My week using the former showed that, for me at least, the performance of the latter really doesn't justify its price. YMMV.
"enabled us to construct communities that I’ve decided to call vertical — groups of people united by identities, interests, and values rather than by physical proximity."

I'm fairly sure this 'take' is at least 30 years old, I seem to remember reading something in the early 90s describing almost exactly the same thing, along with various 'death of distance' type think-pieces.
What are you building? Then choose the tech stack.
Interesting!

Re ROI, I never thought it had to be positive for public transport... most wins from functioning transportation seem less tangible like increased public mobility (better for economy), reduced road congestion (=> less mortality while waiting for ER or police, better air quality), mental health etc. But I guess that's USA.
You should have started with administration first. Teach aren’t equipped or provided solutions for bullying and many are dealing with acting out or violent children. See the case of the teacher shot by her violent student a few months ago who kept warning school administrators who did nothing, even on the day of the shooting.
I think of ASML sometimes and its relationship to hundreds of years of Dutch work in optics.
I'm not saying you are wrong, but I personally took the completely opposite approach on the basis that I live in a comparatively high socio-economic area so you need more dollars to make an impact. I chose Medecins Sans Frontieres who primarily work in poorer countries because I believe they make more impact to people's lives per dollar spent.
The idea of "only one transmitter" might have made sense in 1950 for analog signals with no chance of replay, but I have to think we've learned a lot about multiplexing and collision detection.

If we allocated broadcast bands today, would we have a hundred narrow channels, or would we have a smaller number of channels and use a TDMA or CDMA style system to expand the number of available slots? I could even imagine packetized broadcasts-- rather than "KXYZ-FM" being on 98.6, your receiver would just scan the entire band for packets tagged KXYZ, and they could dynamically reallocate based on local noise levels or atmospheric conditions.
Celebrity/old people university challenge.

That doesn’t counter what I have said. The AI *did not* come up with the proof. It just summarized your own explanation based on the text you have given it.

Summarization of existing text is not the same thing as creating a proof from scratch.
I’ve made a dozen or so batches of kimchi, none of them spectacular; and I’d like to blame it on the vessel, though it’s probably my lack of skill.

Besides an ongi, you really need fresh minari (water dropwort). It’s available year round at your local Korean grocer, though sometimes sporadically. Now I’m craving kimchi!
Despite some pushback, I worked on something similar (internally) for a previous company.

Having React/JSX for email templating (even if it was on top of MJML) is a great win for productivity.

All our front-end devs knew React, a couple knew Jinja, Pug or mustache. And every-time a team needed to add a new email template, their frontend devs needed to learn those again.

Instead they could just write email templates as they would write their regular components the way they do every day.

Glad to be validated on this!
Yes, as someone who learned cursive but never really had good handwriting (and can't really write properly at all today), the examples seemed pretty straightforward for the most part.
If I remember the number of times teachers made stuff up and/or gaslighted me, ChatGPT hardly feels like that much of a problem anymore. And often I learned about falsehoods I had been told only years later.

A teacher, real or virtual, needs to be right most of the times, and LLMs already provide that.

I decided to abstract away the URL part as it wasn't easily explainable and not important to the story. I figured the JSON-in-JSON part is interesting enough.

Anyway, the resulting memdump with many \\s remains my most audience-engaging slide to date, and figured out the non-company audience deserves to know.
Good times.
I was thinking about this SaaS price: 10/seat/month.

I mean honestly we could run SaaS instances of Pro for a fraction of this cost, with 24/7 availability, and even less if you "amortize" it over a pool that supplies an instance on-demand.
I haven't programmed in C for a long time but know the basics from college. Can I still work thru this material?
Perhaps someone will rewrite this book (the whole book, not just the code) in Rust.
downvotes? what?

nothing i wrote is in any way controversial?

obviously you can't embed unbounded history in session state directly?
Thank you for the correction, I wasn't up to date with my information.

The price hasn't budged -- is that because it only reflects changes in gas pricing long-term, or is someone else pocketing the part the state used to take?
Athletic Greens and competitors tend to include a ridiculous “everything and the kitchen sink” cocktail of supplements with dubious sourcing, presumably in hope that one of them has an “energizing” effect on the customer and generates a good review. Which is unfortunate, since there have been times I would have appreciated a cocktail of normal food vegetables in convenient form.
The study acknowledges that:

> Although it is unclear whether the observed idiosyncratic processing in lonely individuals is a cause or a result of loneliness, the associated lack of shared understanding may lead to challenges in achieving social connections.
I'm not denying any of these improvements but there is also evidence that walking with this constant distraction and being bombarded by social media / news is bad for mental health and our ability to focus.
While division may still decode to multiple uOps, I seriously doubt that there's a loop in microcode on modern processors. The pipeline latency makes that infeasible.

The looping logic is almost certainly a bit of fixed function hardware in the execution unit.
Or malted barley -- the most popular fermented, carbonated drink in the world.
Hmm, do you know how near to freezing temperature it has to be? I'm really fond of fermentation and my understanding is that fermentation slows down and eventually stops at 3 celsius.
My source supports me attempting to steelman your claim by suggesting you mistakenly are referring to live births gestational age thresholds. That's not at all the same as a difference driven by how aggressive attempts to save premee lives are across countries.
> The Linux system API doesn't change much

really? they added epoll, aio (they later added io_uring as a better aio), ebpf. Real threads were added with clone(2). Routing changed from ipchains to iptables. They added all the stuff needed for containers: cgroups, namespaces and what else - the Linux system API saw lots of action.

Look here: lots of additions came since Linux 2.2 https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/syscalls.2.html

They even added sysfs, as procfs is now regarded as 'old and cluttered'

Also lots of changes in glibc.
8 hours later, 18 hours total, it still hasn't stopped. I've since received some other non-spam emails, but not everything has been delivered to me (I performed some tests w/ other emails)
Just like most relevant computer science sources do, only joe and jane on the street without CS background think otherwise.
Came here to say this! Excellent movie. I love the "weirdness" of John Carpenter. He had his unique style. Too bad he's not making movies anymore...
Didn't Twitter try this half a year ago? Censoring links to competitors? That was rolled back swiftly. And I assumed the CEO learned their lesson. But no.

When the bar owner doesn't let you talk about a show in the other bar, only the most resigned patrons will stay. And everybody else will avoid the pit.
I use the term class bias mainly because I couldn't find a better term. But it is unique to a particular class to see oneself as the ideal that others are held back from reaching due to environment or circumstance. It's the reason why progressives think conservatives vote against their own interests and would see things the way progressives do if only they were better educated. It's just a fundamental inability to recognize that other people are different and aren't motivated by the same things. What's so insidious about this thinking is that its framed as benevolence. But the mistake is thinking that your way is intrinsically more valuable and so it must be a disparagement to assume that not everyone can reach the intrinsic good that you have reached.

You want to see what people get up to when they have endless free time, just see what idle young men get up to.

Adding on what the sibling comment said, meaning and fulfillment aren't just about the work one does, its about the social role that work facilitates. You may hate your job yet derive meaning from being a provider, from being the man of the family, being a hard worker, and so on. We're already in the process of destroying social connections with ones community and we're seeing a widespread crisis of loneliness as a result. Take away the meaning that work provides (regardless of job) and you basically destroy whats left of meaning in a good portion of people's lives.

Man, it's 2023 and Elm is still the best thing to use for one-man SPA apps. Unfortunately, the author is right and it's Elm-or-nothing most of the time, no real coexistence of Elm components with TS/JS ones. That adds to the state of Elm being essentially abandoned by its creator.

I'll keep using Elm for now for my one-man UIs, the language doesn't feel old but rather "done". I'm still productive as hell with it, TypeScript will never match. But I'll also never recommend building their startup with it and won't force it to anyone anymore.
Lessons Learned About One-Way, Dataflow Constraints in Garnet and Amulet (2001) [pdf]
So, you say you don’t know why people are upset with these devices, but people are telling you why and you’re just not accepting it. You literally told the other guy that he’s optimizing for the wrong thing, as if his priorities are somehow yours to determine.

It’s totally fine that you have different priorities and values than us, but that doesn’t invalidate ours.
Good tip, I'll have to investigate again as it's been a while since our last check in.
Almost all the time the “truth” is less important than the values and feelings of people involved. Humans are emotional beings first and foremost. I have met a few “super rational” people in my life and they were clearly driven by strong emotions. Emotions they were blind to or refused to acknowledge. They also typically didn’t understand that all rational value judgement is relative to and built on top of a foundation of axiomatic values that are different for different individuals. So your “rational” truth might not be my “rational” truth.
> I wish reviewers would use extremely harsh words about it

Some are. Drive Tribe on YouTube has been very critical of Ferrari’s move to use touchscreens entirely and while praising the cars themselves, they outright claim the UX is is simply unusable and they just couldn’t recommend them just because of it.
London has a number of red telephone kiosks turned into libraries. I belive they are administered by local groups which move the stock around once in a while but I would suspect it's difficult to manage this online since there is no check-in/check-out process.
You made a good point. But I don't think people are advocating taxing people like you but the super rich. The disparity between the few super-rich and the poor is so huge in many countries. Wealth that is not being put to use by the super-rich is money wasted. All this hoarded wealth could be put to so much good.
Yeah, I think this is a really nice thing to have in a language, purists may not like it, but being able to flexibly pass something through layers is a cheat code for coding.
stayed in an airbnb once where the TV would take ~15 seconds to be ready to control, of that time, about 5 seconds was already playing content but you couldn't control the volume. I don't remember the brand, but it wasn't some unknown thing.
I would really recommend anyone who tries something with GPT and then wonders why it doesn’t work to read the GPT3 paper. They go into detail on what the model is and isn’t good at.

One thing to really think about for this particular case is “What is going to do the counting? Where is it going to store its running count?” - it’s pretty obvious after asking yourself these questions that “counting words” is not something an LLM can do well.

It’s very easy to fall into the trap of thinking there is a “mind” behind ChatGPT that is processing thoughts like we do.
Indeed, you’d think Mazdas take is so logical and natural in the context of car safety that all manufacturers would follow, but here we are, with new models moving away from any tactile control.
Start out with retro gaming. Kids have no standards for graphics, so they won't object. Old games are much more focused on clear mechanics, rather than flashy graphics and complex rules. The further back you go, the controls become simpler and easier to grasp for young kids.
You're fully right! I added them both - E.A. was the original toolmaker, and A.S. worked more down the chain. He definitely was the person who walked me through the finer points of retrieving the data.
This narrative doesn't falsify or go against the one you're replying to. Both things can be true - investors follow incentives and some countries try to manage incentives in a certain way.

YMMV, but IMHO it is preferable that the fundamental execution model of the app stays in control of the app-executing user and should not be affected or be dependent on the app review process. Rationale is to prevent single point of failures, especially those that are out of control of the user (compare with the emergency off switch on some bigger machinery).
Hoping that any impact to regular employees isn't too rough :-/
In the debate of "can generative AI make Art", this is Art, but the artist is the person steering the AI tools to create this.

Rust: The Language Destined to Save Developers from Themselves
I have to confess I have no idea what “state-driven” means in this context, and the website doesn’t help:

“Perseus apps can generate state whenever they like”

So it’s a… computer program?

It feels like the word “state” is overloaded with some meaning that eludes me.
The lack of comments isn't really a big deal for serialisation. Nobody is really going to bother adding comments when data is serialised. You could do that with XML if you wanted and I have never seen a single occurrence.

The issue is that JSON ended up being used as a configuration format too, and comments are critical there.

JSON5 is the best answer I have found.
The chatbot will give me an answer to each of those questions and I'll look for the recommended product on amazon.

Please don't make the mistake of differentiating SSR and SSG, even Next slowly moves away from this arguably bad naming. There is only server-rendering, and it can happen on request, or be pre-computed at build-time, or everything in between. The SSR/SSG thing is historical, trips most beginners, and may mislead implementation. Otherwise cool initiative, many Next devs are learning Rust too since it's part of the codebase.
One of these centers existed in a city in which I lived, Duluth, Minnesota, from 1995-2005. It was a fairly big deal for a city the size of Duluth, employing 1,000 people to start and ranging up to 1,400 at the peak. A former employee started a FB group that has a good photo of what these centers looked like in the 90s: https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155932292850485
