My boys are 8 and 4, and they're both only interested in "hack and slash" computer games, so I bought local co-op like Ninja Turtles and Castle Crashers. I tried giving them "puzzle" games, they're not interested. I tried giving them books (and I also read the books for them), they always "Daddy can we play games".

Still thinking how to make them interested in programming. The Pi I gave them, they use it to play YouTube only.

There's actually a pretty nice read from one of the key figures in data compression field - Matt Mahoney: "Text Compression as a Test for Artificial Intelligence" [1]. Some interesting reads are also on his personal website, though a bit outdated now: https://mattmahoney.net/dc/rationale.html

I've written an overview about the differences between Nylas and EmailEngine here: https://docs.emailengine.app/emailengine-vs-nylas/

TL;DR Nylas is hosted service that does way more than just emails. Also, it syncs all emails on monitored accounts to their DB, so when you make an API request, it hits their DB. EmailEngine is self-hosted and runs directly against the mail servers, so when you run an API request, the request ends up in the mail server. Both approaches have their pros and cons. Other than that, there aren't any other good solutions than building everything yourself by using any IMAP library.

How can you not see that "nicely" refusing is against the law after you have been prosecuted? You might argue that if someone sends you money you don't want, you only have to send it back once they get a warrant by a court but that isn't the problem here.

I created a Mastodon account, in some server that I can't remember now. I tried to follow people but couldn't figure out how to follow them if they were in different servers (back when the Twitter exodus happened, the main Mastodon server stopped new account creation). I gave up after a few more days of trying and went back to Twitter.

In all fairness, to me this reads as more of a rant man-splation for why thing's aren't productive, and largely misses the point.

Its also fairly niche and specific to developers that have a very developer-only mindset. Anyone who has spent time and designed systems with the bare-minimum feature sets needed to make operations supportable understands that most of the examples provided are very brittle, and purely opinion with little backing them. Its an overbroad generalization with a poorly thought through hypothesis that doesn't really match observations I've seen.

I've worked as a System Admin and System's Engineer over the years, most of the issues are solved when you follow good documentation practices.

If you aren't generating documentation in a way that others can read and understand, you simply aren't doing your job.

A proper IT Operations team understands this, the developers in general that I've met seem to think these rules don't apply to them, this includes the supervisors managing the business unit, and then they raise holy hell when SHTF like it wasn't a completely predictable outcome. There are exceptions but they are just that, 'exceptions'.

Average people should be able to read, and comprehend documentation needed for their position. If you can't do that, you aren't doing your job and deserve to be fired for misleading business about your skill set.

If you don't have good documentation for an existing system, you need to generate that first before you can really do anything new, its deferred maintenance that needs to be paid. Its impossible to put any reasonably accurate scope of work together if you have no documentation on a system, and only generalized requirements. Documentation is often a critical part of the initial requirement scope/process (before any work gets done).

You skip this phase, and you are tacitly approving a project that either will never complete, or will complete egregiously over budget.

I'm not sure I understand your example. What actual value would M1/aarch64 compiled steam binaries be? Practically all games available on their platform are made for x86 or x86-64. That doesn't seem like something Valve can change. The only reason gaming on Linux is becoming practical is because Vulkan support is maturing and Valve doubled down on getting windows binary compatibility.

I suppose Proton could probably be ported to OSX with enough work. Apple isn't making it easy by refusing to natively implement Vulkan, though. DirectX to Vulkan to Metal conversion on top of x86-64 emulation is just a lot going on. It seems like no one's interested in doing the work to convert DirectX directly to Metal.
If anyone wondering what that means for "optional ifs":

if let Some(new_variable) = method_that_returns_optional_value {
println!("value: {new_variable}")
} else {
println!("{new_variable} is not in scope, this wont't compile");
}

I find it powerful. "if-let" and "while-let" are part of the language. OTOH rustaceans are happy with and constantly reasoning (constantly fighting the borrowchecker?) about scopes and if a variable / it's intended value is accessible at a certain line of the source code.
All the layers are deposited successively on a larger glass panel using standard vapor deposition equipment, then the substrate is cut into the individual glass windows for the lamps.

The article mentions explicitly all the equipment that has been used in the fabrication of the prototype.

The fabrication of any semiconductor device, such as LEDs, includes many more such vapor deposition steps done in vacuum, using the same machines, but with much more stringent requirements for cleanliness and defect control.

Any defects in the deposition steps for such a lamp window will just reduce the efficiency of some lamps by a small fraction of a percent, while during LED fabrication they would have made unusable LEDs that would have been dumped.

The term may not be commonly used there, but like everything in tech, people often try to solve the same problems from different angles using different terms. Offline First is also roughly comparable to DTN and some people in the IPFS have framed it in the context of Offline First.

DTN can actually solve some of the most pressing communications issues we face today: 40% of the world population is permanently disconnected from the Internet, and many of those who are are subject to severe censorship (look up #KeepItOn).

They never said larger, and yes, more is not always better. There are simply more interesting people I want to hear from on HN than on Reddit. But this is also true in my case for Twitter over Mastodon and is one reason why I stopped using Mastodon.

To those that wondered what it was like to get Linux running in those early days, here is a post I made in April 1993 (30 years ago this month!) to the "comp.os.linux" Usenet group trying to dual boot Linux and DOD on my new 486 PC with I think no more than a 80MB harddrive. (BTW a2,a3,a3 refer to the first 3 floppy disks you need after the boot and I think root disk to start installing)

Help installing Linux.
5/4/93

Hi,
I,ve tried to install the SLS base system 99p6. I partitioned my 210 Maxtor drive to half DOS and then added a 15M /dev/hda2 (type 81 Linux,Minix) and 10M /dev/hda3 (type 83 Linux swap). After writing to the partition table and rebooting, I did a mkfs /dev/hda2 15504; mkswap /dev/hda3 4096; swapon
/dev/hda3.
After then running doinstall things seemed OK until it tried to start installing a2,a3 and a4. The system only looked at the disks for about a millisecond and then prompted me to insert the next one ( I was thinking, Boy! this installation is quick). Finally I got the prompt for formatted disk to make a boot disk. Thinking, I had finished, I attempted to boot this
disk to no avail. Of course during doinstall I got messages such as
"mv: command not found", "rm: command not found" and so forth.
I am guessing that my /dev/hda2 is not mounting and hence the file system is not being transferred. I have been trying to dissassemble "doinstall" as most errors seem to be redirected
to /dev/null.

One "error" I noted on booting is "WD8013 not found at 280 ". Can't the driver find my disk controller? I have a TMC 486/33 motherboard with a VESA IDE controller.
Linux seems to be able access the disk because the partitioning worked and mkfs -c works the disk out.

Please help me out , I would love to get Linux up and running.

Like making me login again into Steam at random for whatever reason Valve come up with? I guess there was bug on older macOS where it asked me for password every single time I restarted Steam. Now this is fixed though. There is offline mode, but it's unreliable.

I know that some games might run without Steam, but it's not comfortable at all.

And yeah It's not a problem. It's just a difference between Steam and DRM-free platforms like GOG.

The wall of text is my fault, as copying from Kindle didn’t preserve formatting.

Here Wikipedia’s definition:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop

If I have or had any misunderstanding about the term, it might be that gish galloping seems to refer esp to conversations, like oral conversations bounded in time? Whereas the Russian-style “firehose of falsity” exists along several timescales, using a wide number of voices all chattering in contradictory ways. Nevertheless, my definition or meaning of the term isn't "mine"; it's the standard.

Edit: Fixed the wall of text & some typos/false phone swypes here.
When there's articles about Gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors, you get the same comments. "Arsenic is a poison!"

Yes, we know. Are you cracking the chips open an licking the semiconductor wafers inside for their flavour? No? Then you have nothing to worry about.

This is the same category of thing. There's micrograms of carbon nanotubes in these lights as a thin-film inside a very strong ceramic casing. Unless you're smashing the thing open and then scraping the surface so you can snort it with a straw like it's cocaine, you'll be fine.
Twitter rumors also claimed a parameter count of 100 trillion parameters and they visualized it with two circles with a huge size difference to make it look intimidating.

I guess the reason why AI is so interesting is that human stupidity is so widespread.
Trial and error is pretty much what training is. You feed an input in and use the error to update the network.

What is surprising with these models is that the simple training leads to emergent behaviour that is much more powerful than what you’d expect from the training data.

With RHLF post training you can tweak these emergent behaviours by having a human (or a model trained to act like a human) give feedback on how good the output is.

So far I’ve not seen any good explanations for how this emergent behaviour happens or how it can be reverse engineered.

Rust could introduce a new trait similar to Default: let's say ElseDefault. Every type implementing this new trait could return the default value of the type of if branch when the else branch is missing and is triggered. Option<V> could implement ElseDefault and returns None as default value.

This could make `if x { Some(42) }` equivalent to `if x { Some(42) } else { None }`.

There is not, and it's important to understand that. The environment is grinding you down, which can make you doubt yourself. In essence, your mind gets tricked into taking the blame for the situation you're finding yourself in.

In the end, while you might not always be able to modify the environment, you can always move away from it. You're avoiding it - you can see that as a part of you looking out for you. It's an important part, and it shows you that you actually have agency: You can do something, and you _are_ doing something. It also means you could do something else. You can take more control and use your agency in a more directed way. See what actions you can take that make you feel better and more in control.

Resist the urge to blame yourself, but don't blame yourself for blaming yourself: see it like a natural reflex that is there, but that you want get more control over. That itch you don't want to scratch, in order to not damage your skin; when you find yourself scratching, forgive yourself for scratching it, and stop scratching.

Most of all, I'm not a professional. Find a professional to talk this over with. They can help immensely putting the your situation in context and figure out ways to interact with it that make you feel good. It works.

Most EmailEngine customers are smaller SaaS services like niche CRM providers etc. EmailEngine can also work with Gmail and MS365, as they support IMAP in addition to their proprietary APIs. So you get quite a large coverage by using EmailEngine out of the box (all smaller providers + most Gmail/MS365 accounts). Additionally, in some cases going with IMAP is the only way - for Gmail email API access, you need a very expensive security assessment that you might also fail for various reasons, like when your use case is not allowed by Google's terms. In comparison, there are no conditions for using app-password-based IMAP for Gmail. EmailEngine does not work with email accounts where their organization has disabled IMAP/SMTP access entirely (common with on-prem Exchange servers, a lot of MS365 accounts, etc.)

I appreciate the answer. I believe Nylas also has a self hostable option, just to let you, as when I was doing my research they mentioned that many secure industries like finance or healthcare wouldn't allow storage of emails on Nylas' database, so they allow self hosting. Of course, that is probably much more expensive than yours. Thanks for your last sentence as well, it clears up a bit more about the business, I asked in another thread but was just curious what types of customers need to integrate with email providers, as I'm making an email client so it's core functionality, but I assume most other industries simply use APIs from Gmail or whatever, rather than raw IMAP these days.

Edit, looks like you've answered in the other thread, thanks.

With all the ChatGPT boom and startups built on top o their API hassle, OpenAI receives troves of data to train and fine tune their models on. GPT 3 was trained on only 17 gigabytes of data, and GPT 4 is not far away with 45 gigabytes. On the other side, Alpaca or Vicuna was fine tuned from LLaMA using only megabytes, if not hundreds of kilobytes of training data. I believe it is much more feasible path to significantly improve current generation LLMs.

I used to care about this shit, but I don't any more. The experience with Steam is just that much more superior. Cloud saves that allow me to pick up my PC gaming session on my Steam Deck or MBP is something no other platform offers on the scale that Steam does. If I could buy a game on GOG or Steam, I will choose Steam every single time because of the platform benefits unless the GOG game allows a Steam redemption. To me this is the same argument as streaming video content. Steam offers enough content that I don't need to seek other services to supplement my gaming needs. This is very different from the video streaming services where content is so siloed into proprietary buckets.
