TIL that the Clojure rationale doesn't mention or motivate lazy sequences which are all over the place in Clojure.
That laziness (in collection APIs, duh) was a major reason that I stopped using the language more after 1 or 2 years of toying around. Maybe that concept was too foreign for me, but objectively lazy seqs don't compose with other language features like dynamic scoping.

Yet I'm happy I tried it, learned a bunch of stuff along the way.
Thanks for proving the point!
To me, the greatest proof of the "lack of love" Google is putting into Maps is seen when I zoom in the city I live in and I get a bunch of hotels.

Adding a "if user lives in $city then he probably won't stay in a hotel in $city" would have a positive impact in all Google Maps users, but the measurable impact is likely too small to make a difference in a Staff Engineer's Perf so it's deprioritised under another new set of check-in notifications.
They don't say "only teach phonics", they say "always teach phonics no matter what even if it fails a significant number of students". It's an issue of forcing teachers to do things they know won't work or aren't working.

I'm not saying there aren't bad teachers, and I agree that's a problem and that the solution (get good people to be teachers and give them the autonomy to be good) depends on addressing it. But using bad teachers as a reason to strip all teachers of their autonomy is a huge step back.

My world depends on writing TBs of data to micro SD cards in difficult environments right at the limit of write speed. These tools are great but our devices are linux (embedded), so this really is a huge help.

For anyone else out there who needs high performance out of an SD card... fstrim is your friend. Seriously, nothing comes close. Run it regularly when not under load.
Sorry, what did you try to do and what happened?
Still ironic. Twitter had rolled out the "government-affiliated media" tag as a panic signal to mark -adversary- states' media, on the old chestnut of "other governments do propaganda, Western governments are honest!", combined with "governments lie, corporations are trustworthy!" - nobody ever labeled anything as "profit-driven corporation that will boost any foolish moral panic to make money off off you".

Nobody in their right mind should ever have fallen for this in the first place, but here we are. It made the "government-affiliated" tag toxic. If you want to right this ship somehow, two options for immediate first steps: Leave this foolishness completely. No labels by the platform.

Or add other tags, like they do now; but then you just add to the bezzle, why are profit media still not labeled? Why .. not a million other things you could? who would even decide what the labels are? With what justification? Labeling by a central authority is bound to be a joke.

Elon went for option two, which makes the joke that are labels obvious. This is, of course, the social function trolling has always had (there's a great study by Whitney Phillips, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, which emphasizes this: On the surface, trolling is just silly, perhaps "dirty"; but it also reveals the foolishness behind the outrage machine.)

> IMHO something about 10,000 sqft yards and deep setbacks destroys any hope for communities.

I doubt it's the case. I moved to outskirts from the city. Even with lower density and fewer people, 2 years in, I already know more people than I knew after 7 years in the same apartment. I also talk to and hang out with my neighbours much more. Community events are a thing here. Local FB groups are friendly and supportive, which is probably the biggest difference.
Yeah, srsly. Just inserting the word "more" suddenly ties the comment to an entire discredited life philosophy of competitive acquisition.
Very interesting book review. I think popularizing the unconscious is different than coming up with it. It’s like when the Greeks would use the word “logos” to refer to it. Many around the timeframe of Freud popularized it. Freud, Jung, Nietzsche, Janet, etc.

From my studies it just sounds like people didn’t like how authoritative Freud was. Which is funny given the line about the necessity for a confident doctor leading to positive outcomes. Jung even had a falling out with him. But the author is also a neurosurgeon, quite a brilliant one at that. It sounds like a cyclical review in itself. Almost like a modern version of the exact book he is reviewing given his own relationship as a neurosurgeon potentially being forgotten alongside Freud.

Great article!

> It's weird having real spacial memory of places I've never been. From 30 years ago.

You were there, it was real. The memories are real. The spaces are real even if not corporeal.

For me it's places from my childhood I can still visit without feeling alienated. If I visit my childhood home that we sold decades ago, there's someone else living there and I don't see with the same eyes either. But the multiplayer maps are the same.

I play the FOSS FPS called Xonotic now just for the entertainment. I realize I was never as good as teenager me believed I was. But I can learn. Sometimes when I'm gibbed early in a Clan Arena match, waiting for the round to end, I'll just rise to the top of the map and see the fake sunrise backdrop of my childhood. I can also recommend defrag mode, just running around a track parkour style trying to maximize efficiency is extremely relaxing.

Gotta wonder if this could be used to improve elder care for our generation. Imagine being in an old folk's home with VR headset and playing with your peers in familiar surroundings?
Same problem for me. It absolutely refuses to recognize some major roads and will keep diverting me through longer routes. Which is baffling because it worked well for yars before that.

There is a fairly brief technical report discussing the training etc [0].

The abstract: "This preliminary technical report describes the development of GPT4All, a chatbot trained over a massive curated corpus of assistant interactions including word problems, story descriptions, multi-turn dialogue, and code. We openly release the collected data, data curation procedure, training code, and final model weights to promote open research and reproducibility. Additionally, we release quantized 4-bit versions of the model allowing virtually anyone to run the model on CPU."

> My expectation is that all NSA CNSA[1] encryption standards are backdoored at the implementation level (by the NSA who uses Suite A for its own communication and I suspect military communications outside of that in weapons systems that can fall into enemy hands)

CNSA / NSA Suite B are pretty much entirely public encryption standards that have stood up to public scrutiny for decades at this point.

They are also approved by the USA to encrypt TS SCI information, why would they approve that if they had backdoors?.
In windows XP, microsoft learned their users accepted some abuse,e.g locked theme engine, plastic default theme, DRM. There were complaints, but users took it because where else to go? And to be honest, XP was still an upgrade coming from 98 and 2000 was not available for end users.

Vista was an universally loathed disaster, but users took it because where else to go?

Windows 7 was better, but still an UI downgrade. Users took it because where else to go?

Windows 8, the your-computer-is-now-a-tablet edition. Users took it, where else to go?

Windows 10, forced on user PCs, universally loathed. Still an user experience downgrade, but users took it because where else to go? And after a few years, memory of old versions faded enough that some people actually believed win10 was any good.

Windows 11, ad ridden malware by any definition from 10 years ago. Users will take it, because where else to go.

Microsoft leadership is not utterly stupid. They know users will take the next windows, whatever it does. Notice how every version gets more bold in the abuse. They expect your complaints. They are even polite enough not to laugh at the whole thing until they are in their own ingroup.

I am speaking user experience here, there was some windows tech advancement in the last 20 years. And I know how availability of OS, software and drivers means tou have to upgrade if you want to stay with Windows.

Even so, I never thought the whole world would go from a mostly competitive software ecosystem to stockholm syndrome from 1 abusive software vendor, but here we are. The sheer power of avoiding some short term pain no matter the long term cost is unbelievable.
This issue with not being able to identify street names became a massive problem for me while traveling in Iraly this year.

When walking from place to place in cities, I like to memorize the entire path so I can actually look around on my walk as opposed to having my face buried in the phone. But Google Maps made it almost impossible to identify the names of at least half the streets I would try to know (so I know what streets to turn into, etc). Looking at the text directions doesn’t help because my memorization requires me to have a mental image of the path, and correlating the text directions with the maps image is way too time consuming.

Now, this actual use case might be rare. But the idea that a map cannot be used to identify street names in large European cities is just terrible. And for comparison, I’ve done this for over a decade and I don’t remember this ever being a problem before say 2017-2018 even though I was visiting far smaller cities over that period.

I see only three paths of progress:

a) space colonization (however that may work, I don't think there's a way)

b) embracing stagnation (in all countable units, except perhaps transistors)

c) buildup to violent collapse (which may or may not be followed by something capable of written history)

b in particular goes far beyond just "a sufficiently large number of people don't procreate", because if it's not somewhat evenly distributed, all future generations will be descendants of high-reproduction ancestors and you're back at square one.

>The stock price has little to do with product quality, especially for a company like Microsoft with multiple revenue streams.

Product quality has little to do with profitability, and really isn't very important to the company that makes the product, except as far as it helps them make more profit. With MS, quality just isn't very important: their customers will buy their crapware no matter how bad it is, as long as it does what they need most of the time. Windows actually works pretty well these days (i.e., not blue-screening if you look at it wrong or wait 30 minutes like in the Win95 days); the complaints are mostly about adware now.

>these days I suspect it’s going to be difficult for Microsoft to find enthusiastic PC buyers.

Microsoft doesn't need enthusiastic PC buyers. There's hordes of people and businesses willing to buy their adware-laden OS for $reasons; MS can simply milk them for more and more money with things like ads and tracking.

Maybe next they can take a page from the budget airlines and car companies and charge people extra fees (or subscription fees) for generally-necessary add-ons, like networking/WiFi support, external drive support, etc.

>Most buyers grit their teeth and spend time undoing Microsoft’s obnoxious defaults.

Exactly. Why should MS bother making products people really want, or not annoying them with stuff like ads, when people are going to buy their crapware regardless? It would be a breach of their fiduciary duty not to take advantage of their customers with this situation. The PC market is saturated anyway, so there's no room for new growth; the correct course for them is to milk their existing customers who refuse to go elsewhere.

> fear of changing DNS settings

I recently had to migrate DNS to Cloudflare to stop a 40,000 QPS DDoS attack. DNS migration was slow, but painless. As long as you plan accordingly and set up the new destination in advance, it should be fine. Hosting DNS at a DNS provider will give you extra flexibility in the future.
I'd highly recommend is HERE Maps

I've tried using HERE Maps and I loved the offline maps and navigation. However the business and point-of-interest search was pretty terrible. I had to basically use Google every time to find the address of the place I was going to and then enter that address into HERE.
Same here. The reason I'm not taking another job/position is exactly that my current one offers me free hands to work on R&D stuff on a scale where with some help I get to implement stuff myself.
Next obvious step would be a technical manager in the same organization, but I can't seem to be able to push myself knowing other things that would be required of me (non-technical).
Another advantage to greatly-overeingineered random string lengths is that it makes brute-force namespace search technically infeasible. This is an increaasing problem with PSTN (public switched telephone networks) where there are simply too few digits in a phone number to prevent comprehensive dialing attacks. (Number reuse would be another principle problem.)

Long ago I'd read a Douglas Hofstadter essay (probably from his Scientific American puzzles column and compiled in Metamagical Themas) where he'd commented on the apparent idiocy of having very long account numbers which were clearly far larger than the possible object space.

That critique fails to consider any number of points, including the challenges of non-coordinated UUID assignments (as Lemire writes), the practice of coding other semantic information into parts of a larger string (e.g., branch or office identifiers, years, or other redundant information), systems which have grown out of mergers of multiple independent systems (where accounts from systems A and B might have collided, so A and B now require distinguishing, as well as C, D, E, ...), and as I've noted, the ease of searching the namespace for valid / assigned values.
From that theory, it sounds your conclusion is wrong:

> I personally think that when you take away the ability for people to explore their passions because they're working two jobs to survive it removes culture and takes potential genius out of the human race.

Simply, there is too many people. Thus, the events cited in the theory revitalized humanity by culling the population.

It's not the most comfortable theory, but reality is not comfortable.
Curious - many people do see those "problems" as the "opportunity" of our time, just as past generations had their own bleaknesses to overcome.
In another discussion about birth rate, somebody wrote something like this here in HN. "It's a lot safer on the street since we drink less and drive. So this saves many lives.

Hyepaper, a ChatGPT summarized eInk newspaper
> fear of changing DNS settings

Is that really a thing, with HNers of all people? You just use your registrar's/nameserver operator's web tool to point your DNS name to a new IP. Transferring your DNS to a new registrar might be a bit more involved but is guaranteed to be also possible by domain market regulation. Or maybe it is a problem of cache invalidation and/or lack of control over exact timing of DNS switchover? Or, idk, possibly Google-owned TLDs like .dev require Google Domains as registrar? Or does Google Domains (or GoDaddy or other big registrar) make transferring your domain difficult in a dark pattern way? Doubt it though, if even changing pointed to IPs appears difficult, which however shouldn't be something a registrar would have an interest in making difficult.
