Personally I 1) want algorithms, and will do some for myself when I get a chance, and I detest reverse chronological, but I get the resistance given that Twitter has kept pushing it (e.g. you can switch to "following" but it doesn't stick - Twitter keeps switching back), 2) would like search. But to search what you need to realise to get why this resistance is there you need to keep in mind that a lot of early refugees from Twitter were marginalised users for whom search was regularly weaponised against them to harass. Search will come - there are regularly new attempts and a lot of the resistance will be less relevant as the userbase change, but to get buy-in it will need to provide a strong degree of opt-in and user control. Any system that fails to provide that will fail to win over those users who see that control as a strong reason to use the Fediverse.
Oh boi. Don't ever go outside your home because you may get robbed, stabbed, spat on, laughed at, run over, kidnapped, etc. And even worse things await unsupervised children! No fun can be had outside and all knowledge must be carefully curated.

Ugh.
According to a comment in the issues the license is GPL3 and that part of the readme was copy/pasted from another project that they forgot to remove.

But then that comment was made in 2021 :-P
Nome of the service you mention have the async nature of email.

If I want you to be aware of a long article I'll send it to you in an email because if I message it, most people will open it, see it takes more than 2 minutes to read and close it and never go back to it.
I thought it would be something more interesting than "never did it, don't intend to start now".
My late father-in-law was a manager at Hughes working on Surveyor 1. My wife shared his (unpublished) notes and audio recordings of the the project with me. It was an absolutely remarkable achievement. I can confirm that the Hughes team was devastated that Luna 9 got there first, however they actually learned quite a bit from the Luna 9 video feed.

It should also be noted that Luna 9 was a relatively hard landing, not suitable for a crewed spacecraft. Surveyor 1 was the first soft landing, and a prototype for the missions that would follow.
That's not my experience and understanding. Rates can vary substantially between Banks. Are from the US?

Today's 30-year Treasury rate is about 3.8% which put the bottom limit and the average 30-year mortgage is 7.5%. This gives about 3.5 percent spread. How much of that you can negotiate back will depend on Bank policy
I update my website by writing it in the
Squircle CE editor and then run my static sitegenerator, commit and push to the server by pressing a termux homescreen shortcut. Works great. Images are a bit of an issue, but I have another termux script that's run when use the android "open with" menu and select termux on an image.

If anyone has a better idea how I can get images into the filesystem from an editor in android, let me know.

PS: Some light ChatGPT copy paste coding also works great. My foldable keyboard mouse setup means I could code everywhere.
Has a lawyer looked over your contract and confirmed that it is actually legally valid? Can you name said lawyer and the firm they work at?

Would you be willing to publish the contract with sensitive information redacted?

All these bold claims are just claims until people come up with some substance. Talk is cheap and confirmation bias happens all the time.

I do some gamedev work and Nvidia GPUs are the standard there. They dominate the market so it's more useful to develop with Nvidia, and any new graphics library, feature or such will inevitably be better supported and tested on Nvidia. Unlike the CPU situation, where Intel and AMD CPUs are perfectly viable competitors, AMD definitely makes second-tier GPUs.

Nvidia on Linux has its annoyances but I consider the issue overblown. On desktop, it's annoying that Nvidia drivers have a separate installation workflow and require you to regenerate the kernel module after every kernel version change, but it's far from the worst Linux issue I've dealt with. On laptops, yes, Optimus is one of the most annoying technologies I've encountered but in the past, I've been able to circumvent it by disabling the iGPU (not a good choice if you need longer battery times though) and on the latest Debian, GPU switching actually works transparently.
Yes it's a mess, as confirmed by operating system vendors' constant struggle to fix it: Windows, tabs, views, widgets and mini-windows, along with Exposé, virtual desktops and now Stage Manager are all symptoms of the same issue: dealing with unlimited hierachies with limited screen real-estate.

An unlimited screen wouldn't really solve much. The real limitation is our working memory – a cognitive problem. Visuals are there to offload working memory, and when you find yourself having three different windows of the same folder, you know visuals has failed at its job.

Surely Stage Manager might give us an extra "cognitive percent". Improved visuals, cues, an extra metaphor here and there might give us another percent. But at the end of the day, I think we reached the end of the road unless we rethink the concept of files, folders and the "jurisdiction" of applications. So at some point down the file hierarchy, arbitrary applications take over and visualise the rest of the hierachy in whatever unorthodox, material style of the season. However a browser window is a container and its tabs are locations, i.e. files in some aspect. A bookmark is also a file. The Photoshop pane of Patterns is also files inside a container. And since the hierachy is hijacked by applications, browsers must afford their own ways of sharing content besides the operating systems sharing mechanism.

To add to the mess we have Open and Save dialogs, which is just another unneccessary way to visualise the same file hierarchy, with their own means of navigating and creating new folders.

My $0.05: Let applications visualise and edit files, and leave the handling of hierachies to the next generation of operating systems. That way the nice patterns in Photoshop could display as a pane in the operating system hierachy since the operating system leaves the rendering to Photoshop (if it's available). Tabs doesn't have to be tabs. They could be displayed as vertical lists or thumbnails, however the content of each tab thumbnail would be rendered by the browser. A container of tabs (really "bookmarks with a state") could easily be moved to another application or browser.
I worked as a winterover, so I was paid to go. The cost of visiting the Pole is very high if you're there as a tourist (tens of thousands for a night). I believe some of the revenue does go towards science though, because the summer camps make use of e.g. the fuelling infrastructure for aircraft.

Cruises are also very expensive. Though they're quite popular with researchers because it's a side of the continent that you don't get to see if you're not working on the coast.
Evergreen food fights (eg bias, partisanship) serve to distract from the base truth:

As usual life is more complex than any idealistic simplification - I do not believe thath you can sum up his situation in one sentence.

But it would be probably a lot easier on him if he did it becesue it kept him fed (that would at least give him feeling of necessity).

The story of his tragedy began when he was finishing highschool and could not decide what to do with himself. He literally had no idea about future, so our father, a legal council of 30 years, choose for him - he paid for five year law degree. And after my brother finished the university, he still did not have any idea what to do, so my father forced him to take law application (I'm not sure how you translate this into english - in my country lawyers are legaly obliged to take additional high level degree after law degree to specialize in being legal council, judge, prosecutor or bailiff).

There are yearly limits of applicants in my country and since my brother was quite bad at this whole law stuff (once again - this was not his thing, it was choosen for him) he could not get legal council application, so the father forced him to choose the only that left, the one that no one else wanted to do - bailiff application.

So he did it and after two years of hard work he finished the application with bailiff title but without bailif practice (which is also limited here in Poland - you are literally nominated by the government to do this here, you are legaly forbiden to practice on your own without the nomination).
Not having government nomination he had to work in local bailiff office (which was only possible because our father used to know some people) - once again this was not his own idea (he had no agancy of his own - from his perpective he would be glad to just sit and play games whole day).

He worked there for five years, and the stuff he did, the people he met, the clients he had to handle, broke him. After office was closed due to his boss retiremen he could not get another job, because once again he was psychically devastated, and people who interviewed him could sense this. And for last few years he just lives with our parents and goes to thereapy and tries to gather what left of his life together.

And the tragic part of all this if you look at cost of his education it would probably be a net gain for society, my parents, and my brother to just forget this whole law degree, bayliff application and few years of work at office and just lay down and play video games.

Each time I think about all this forced idealistic stuff where we are all supposed to find purpose in jobs, because jobs are good (TM), I think about my brother and his wasted life.

To warap this up, I just remembered a quote from song by Polish artist "Kazik" about steelworks worker who wasted his life in job in one of polish factories that were bankrupt from the get go (as the whole communistic system was also):

"Cała jego ciężka praca, wszystko było c**a warte
Gdyby leżał całe życie, mniejszą czyniłby on stratę"

Which, according to ChatGPT, can be loosely translated to:

"His entire hard work, everything was worth s**.
If he lay his whole life, he would make a smaller loss to me."
A mediocre contract can be worse than having no contract, or as bad as having no contract if it isn't actually legally binding. Yikes.
I mean, to some degree, that's what the US has historically done and can do, as a consequence of being the world trade (and therefore reserve) currency.

A side effect of that position is decreased sensitivity (aka inflation) of that currency to money printing.

Because you're effectively amortizing each new dollar's dilution of value against {everything the US uses dollars for} + {everything the world uses dollars for}. Which is a much larger denominator than national-only currencies.

(And side note that being a trade currency is somewhat of a Faustian bargain, because it carries an expectation/obligation that you will create sufficient amounts of your currency to facilitate international trade)

If the US keeps using the dollar as a fast pass to imposing unilateral sanctions internationally, and de-dollarization expands, there will be a very different level of correlation between monetary policy and dollar inflation.
What is your basis for that claim?

The fact is that people earn far more with a college degree. The rest is baseless speculation.
You may mean “funding for research projects”. I would agree. Over the very long haul a successful research program can also result in a relatively high “academic” income (ca. $200,000 in biomedical research), but that no comparison with mid and top levels of programmers at FAANG et al.
AFAIK there is no limit of depth in modern filesystems (at least in design), there is usually limit in path length (in bytes) but that's just that you have to limit somehow implementation to prevent pathological instances.

Eg imagine bug in some script that create some directory structure in a loop and bug that causes it to create infinite depth.

It makes sense to say "enough" at some point, otherwise you could destabilise whole system.
That's assuming it doesn't just enter a fail state and keep providing the same answer again and again and again, despite explaining what about the answer is wrong.
I suffer from a yet unknown chronic illness and as everyone in my predicament knows, I have seen a staggering amount of medical professionals who ranged from arrogant jerks who didn't listen not take you seriously to highly empathic and thorough people (who still failed to figure out what was wrong) and passing by overzealous specialists who sent me down completely wrong paths with copious amounts of anxiety. Last month I felt particularly low and desperate and decided to dump everything (medical history, doctor notes, irregular lab results, symptoms) into GPT4 and ask for help (did a bit of prompt tuning to get professional level responses).

It was mind blowing: it identified 2 possible explanation that were already on my radar, 3 more that I had never considered of which one seems very likely and I am currently getting tested for, explained how each of those correlated with my symptoms and medical history, and asked why I had not had a specific marker tested (HLA b27) that is commonly checked for this type of disease (and indeed, my doctor was equally stumped - he just thought that test had been done already and didn't double-check).

Bonus: I asked if the specific marker could be inferred from whole genome sequencing data (had my genome sequenced last year). He told me which tool I could use, helped me align my sequencing data to the correct reference genome expected by that tool, gave me step by step instructions on how to prepare the data and tool, and I'm now waiting for results of the last step (NGS data analysis is veery slow).

Let’s not make a joke of ourselves. Newton’s gravity equations deal perfectly well with non uniform masses. You just need to integrate properly.

But all of this is beside the point. Obviously you are not going to land open loop. You need sensors which tell you where you are and how fast you are going.

> I really think it's reductive to say that not require a college degree on every damn job is "abandoning the American Dream"

This is the quality of argument in your job? I perhaps overestimated academia after all.
I feared that there was a sweet spot for this in the past. The few modern ones where you can still get to the battery have some proprietary connector with a dozen pins where I wouldn't even know where to start.

The one I had was some Noname device from China that really only had two wires going to the battery pack, which I've never seen on any other Android device yet, so I was quite positive given the cheapness that my simple trick would work, but alas.
ChatGTP says, "The book you are referring to is likely "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster. This novella was published in 1909 and is set in a future where people live in individual rooms, connected to a global network that provides them with all their needs. The machines that run the network have become so efficient that people no longer need to learn or do anything for themselves. As a result, they have become isolated, shallow, and dependent on the network. When the network starts to break down, the characters are unable to cope and must face the consequences of their reliance on the machines."
i3 kinda does this. It manages workspaces/windows/tabs. I use qutebrowser and it has the option of 'tabs as windows' so that i3 can handle my browser tabs. My user experience is pretty consistant across my entire system.

Firefox doesn't allow each tab to be a window, which breaks the consistancy but i only sometimes have to use that.

But as has been mentioned, plan9 does this at a design level.
To late to edit here, but an additional thought: If Bluesky starts getting traction, a move to undercut it from Fediverse proponents would be embrace and extend: Augment clients with webfinger, provide bridging to the Fediverse, and generally aim to make Bluesky users expect to be a part of the wider Fediverse. Only if Bluesky very rapidly overtakes Mastodon to the point of dwarfing it or remain an irrlevance, will it have a realistic prospect of remaining what they want it to be rather than turn into some hybrid that runs away from them.
Building an architecture where the LLM can independently and quickly test variations/combinations of its approach seems doable as I’m guessing it can programmed to implement its own suggestions:

3.5:
As an AI language model, I cannot guess, but I can provide some general guidelines based on current research and best practices.

If we want to improve the results of Large Language Models (LLMs), one aspect of the architecture that we could focus on is increasing the model's capacity to learn and retain more information. This could be achieved by increasing the number of parameters in the model or using more sophisticated architectures such as transformer-based models that use self-attention mechanisms to capture long-range dependencies in the input sequence.

Another important aspect to focus on is improving the model's ability to handle rare and out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. This can be achieved by using subword-level tokenization, which breaks down words into smaller units and enables the model to generalize better to new or unseen words.

We could also focus on improving the training process by using larger and more diverse training datasets, regularization techniques to prevent overfitting, and optimizing hyperparameters such as learning rate, batch size, and number of training epochs.

Finally, we could also focus on incorporating external knowledge sources such as structured data, knowledge graphs, or ontologies into the model architecture to enhance its ability to reason and make more accurate predictions.

Overall, there are many aspects of the LLM architecture that can be improved to enhance its performance, and the choice of which to focus on will depend on the specific task and the available resources.
I wintered for IceCube. Happy to answer any questions about careers. My background isn't in polar research and while I have a PhD in (unrelated) physics, it's not a requirement by any means. Lots of jobs down there just require specific skillsets (and there is plenty of IT work).

Termux singlehandedly makes me feel like I'm living my childhood dream of having a full computer in my pocket. I use git to blog from my phone, I have ffmpeg and yt-dlp installed to download videos for when I am going to be away from internet access for a while, and I even have some home automation scripts setup that control the lights over the local network. But I am concerned about the direction Android is headed, Google policies have been aligning closer to Apple's. I don't like having to stay on a previous generation OS just to make sure I don't lose "power user" fuctionality. Just recently I had to install a root mod to allow apps complete access to SD cards, a recent update caused me to get the dreaded "To protect your privacy, choose another folder" while trying to give a gallery app permissions. I am grateful for Termux devs for working hard to maintain functionality via workarounds.

they're going too broad with it

if they can find a specific industry to go into it would make all the difference

for example i'm waiting for someone to use these to make creating an anime 10x easier, train on existing in-house styles and artists might only need to make corrections rather than everything from scratch. i can imagine an increase in the number of projects, and they would be able to put more money into writing and storyboarding instead which would be a really interesting transition.

> So much of the value is in signaling and network-building, not in the actual teaching itself.

People keep repeating that, but what is the basis? Reptition doesn't signal truth; it signals the opposite, arguably, that people are following each other rather than examining the facts and arguments.

It's certainly not my experience.
I did not say that. I think it is a good thing to do thing properly. File resolution is pretty complex (too complex) in Node/TSC. I would like others tools to support native .ts imports and translate automatically to .js on code emitting. However, it is not going to happen in the short and medium terms.

Using a fallback to .ts files when importing .js files is a minor and straightforward addition to file resolution. And this is a big gain in terms of interoperability with others tools.
I’m interesting in your statements do you have an example of a instance where it made up facts?

I’ve have yet to experience any of the domain knowledge I have being incorrect.
Liquor varies. I've seen it in numerous Safeway's on the West Coast for example. Beer and wine is still far from universal. Massachusetts still has some screwy related laws. I think only a limited number of stores in a chain are allowed to sell beer and wine. I think there may also be some exceptions for stores close to the border with New Hampshire.
