I wrote a gist about a year ago that discusses installing various tools into MacOS -- powerlevel10k prompt, fzf, ripgrep, difftastic, some git aliases, asdf and more: https://gist.github.com/aclarknexient/0ffcb98aa262c585c49d4b...

Wow, it has 40 stars! I'm kind of shocked, I think it was way under 20 last time I looked. :) Feeling pretty good about that, if I've helped just that many people, then I feel like writing that was more than worth it!
I think people have a hard time visualizing change.

It’s similar to the “what’s the point of oil exploration on today’s prices since it takes 10 years to yield.”
No this definitely feels real bad.
I personally think "chatGPT", will be a blip, it'll be remembered as a catalyst, not much more, and I'm not sure openAI really should have the valuation they do, open source is going to eat their dinner, when it takes openai 10 million dollars and an army from Kenya to create the same language a college student can build on a 2k computer for under $100 in cloud fees, it's pretty much game over... Microsoft on the other hand, because of the way they're pouncing on this and implementing it across all their products, they're the ones who really won here.

In 5 years it'll be the stable diffusions and alpaca's, and other open source models ruling and closed source will be mostly for vertical specific custom use cases. Generative AI on the hand --- it's never going back to the way it was before, not unless we have a Carrington event, that is.

I think there is a clearly positive impact in having what I imagine would be 70% less vehicles on the road. Including the added benefit of the elimination of driveway requirements and huge parking areas allowing for more dense development and thus shorter overall drive distance.

It also allows for a distribution in peak charging time.

Getting people to walk would be the biggest impact.

What if it goes up to 15%? The Overton Window is shifting.

Just this last week I saw ads for the "CPA Card" from Expensify with 2% cash back.

All those cash back offers from credit cards is from money extracted from businesses of all sizes by monopolists.

I think there should be pushback for any increases in cuts that are taken.
I am curious what you all think.
The point of the article is pricing, not preemption. The strategies you’re talking about improve preemption but they won’t save you money if pricing is increasing across the board.
Warming from greenhouse gases is the driver of the warming, but there are multiplies. Most obvious one is water vapour which is a very powerful greenhouse gas. So the warming caused by the raised CO2 enables more water vapour in the air (warmer air can take up more water) which amplifies the greenhouse effect. Then come all the secondary effects like melting of highly reflective ice and others.
Build more nuclear plants and a better grid…
Why can’t anyone see this for what it is? It’s about power.

The problem these organizations have is not that they have people working from home - they don’t really care about that, the problem is that the type of person who runs a company craves the power, and they don’t feel like they’re wielding it when everyone works from their laptops and over zoom.

It’s not about the money nor is it about the product. Very few tech companies have never cared about the product after they weren’t startups anymore. No, it’s about having power over others, and control.
I'd add that abstracting complexity should be done where it makes the rest of the system easier to understand over the abstraction. Too much abstraction can make systems harder to understand and work with instead of easier.
The problem with humanity is we look to solve our inability to create unlimited power before we solve the problem of unlimited greed.
It could be nice, although I’d expect a government to (justifiably) expect some “supply chain” type audits that lots of smaller open source projects wouldn’t want to go for.

The difference between Microsoft and the linux kernel community as demonstrated in this case is what I termed 'balance'.

> Microsoft had gone as far as emulating undocumented/undefined API behavior for misbehaving/buggy applications

Yeah, I believe Chen writes about code for SimCity. This is where Microsoft loses balance. They keep backwards compatibility to a fault. Literally a fault. At some point the kernel will no longer have `struct buffer_head`, at least not in the mainline, though it may be a while. That backwards compatibility will go away. Microsoft has been and continues to be bad about end-of-life for their software. They keep things around that should be gone, and remove or stop supporting things that should stay.
Usage is high during the way due to work and industry with a peak around 8pm.

Electricity usage midnight-5am is very low. And rates are lowered even further as many power plants produce at a uniform rate, regardless of time of day. Things like hydro, nuclear, tidal, and wind.

I agree that there are rules. I think the subject in this article is not following the rules.
I'm fine with people being careful in their usage in contexts where precision matters. I even agree that Wikipedia is probably one of those places.

It's the weird value judgements that people like the author assign to different usages that really bother me. Objectively, "is comprised of" is correct usage. It's the majority usage in books published today, and it's in all the dictionaries.

If TFA had left it at "it's ambiguous" I wouldn't blink, but they had to go off on a rant about how wrong the modern usage is, and that's a problem. It feels elitist and reactionary.
There's been a fair amount of discussion on this thread, which left me wanting to clarify my comments...

It is entirely possible to have a MPA application that makes calls to the back end to retrieve more data. Especially for things like a static page (cached) with some dynamic content on it. My problem is when people convert an entire site to a Single Page (SPA). When I click to go from the "home page" to a "subsection page", it makes sense to load the entire page. When I click to "see more results" for the list of items on a page, it seems reasonable to load them onto the page.

Side note: If I scroll down the page a few times and suddenly there's 8 items in the back queue, you're doing it wrong. That drives me bonkers.
Correction: "I'm planning on staying at four hotels, but there might be more depending on how my trip goes (because it's not completely 100% planned out)."

"Consists of" creates a minimum bound, not an exact amount.

For that matter, meaning was already lost in the original post: If "comprised of" was used in the original sentence, it would mean at least one of the hotels was a destination itself rather than just a place to stay (a historic building or something, for example).
As far as I am aware, they never work that great on UNIX compilers, as no big effort was ever spent improving them.

About 20 years ago, on UNIX workloads we used to speed the compilation via ClearMake, a kind of distributed version of code cache that would plug into the compilers, however it has part of ClearCase SCM product.

On Windows, with Microsoft and Borland (nowadays Embarcadero), they work quite alright.

Also, modules will fix that, as per VC++ reports, importing the whole standard library (import std, as per C++23) takes a fraction of only including iostream.
Funny thing with Starcraft 2 is since you can have duplicate user names, all the top players would ladder with a ||||||| user name to prevent the other player from knowing who they are and what they would do.
I'm going to follow up here incase anyone finds this via Google.

I ended up using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCgrgHgy26c

I manually copied every line of code before I realized someone in the YT comments uploaded their copy to github. lol.

This space and the relevant libraries are evolving so quickly that some changes were required.

All in all, this project took an afternoon. I'm shocked at how accessible this technology has become. Don't assume you can't handle it! Give it a shot if you're interested in doing something similar.

Another youtube comment mentions that it would have taken 10% as much coding if you use Keras instead. I cannot confirm or deny, but that would have been nice.
Let me get this straight. You're asking what's stopping people from walking everywhere?

And instead of thinking for like 5 seconds and realizing someone may work 15km away from home you write a senseless comment about people driving to the grocery store and concluding that what's stopping people from walking everywhere is that they're lazy.

OK.

> Do you think it's plausible that computers might someday have the potential to come down in cost-for-performance?

I have no idea. I do think though that it's a matter of energy, and that us, humans, are way better at creating it and putting it to use compared to potential future AGI-capable machines. Lungs + the blood system are just such an efficient thing, especially if you also look at the volume/space they occupy compared to whatever it is that would power that future AGI-capable machine.

> Cars eventually became cheaper than horses...

In large parts of the world donkeys, cows/oxes and horses are still cheaper and more efficient [1] compared to tractors, just look at many parts of India and most of Africa. Of course, us living in the West tend to not think about those parts of the world all that often, as we also tend to mostly think about the activities that we usually carry out (like having to travel between two distant cities, a relatively recent phenomenon).

[1] "More efficient" in the sense that if you're an African peasant and your tractor breaks down in the middle of no-where then you're out of luck, as the next tractor-repair shop might be hundreds of kms away. That means you won't get to plow your land, that means famine for you and your family. Compared to that, horses/oxes (to give just an example) are more resilient.
The issue with our digital library is that the search there is not indexed, and most old German texts are not searchable either [1]

You can search for "Allgemeiner Deutscher Sprachverein" or "Atlas der deutschen Sprache" or similar, you'll find references to it but not the scanned books.

Welcome to the age of Digital Amnesia :'( [2]

Maybe the dossier about the burned books of WW2 is a good start to find things about it, but it's kinda hopeless without a search index. Alternatively there seems to be a lend-able copy in the library of Dresden [3] and [4]

Ask HN: Is there demand for the data produced by all EO satellite companies?
During the current space race there seems to pop up new companies almost every week with a new angle of EO (earth observation) data collection. There are privately run satellite constellations for traditional optic imagery (Planet), SAR data (Capella Space, Umbra Space), hyperspectral imagery (Hypersat, Kuva Space, Orbital Sidekick, Pixxel), IR imagery (constellr, Hydrosat) and in the last few days we heard about NUVIEW that will map the entire land surface using LiDAR to create 3D earth data.

This is undoubtedly cool stuff, but I have started to think about whether all this data is needed (i.e. has a paying customer). Who is buying the data? I remember years ago when people anticipated that financial analysts could use "real-time" satellite imagery of Walmart parking lots to monitor the economy. Is that happening today? These new EO companies list many different examples in their use cases: defense and intelligence, agriculture, disaster management, situational awareness, etc, etc. But again, who is buying the data? Do farmers really use satellite data for crop health monitoring?

The infrastructure behind the data is obviously rather expensive. So far, I guess VC is paying for the party, but sooner or later there must be some proper revenue from proper customers.

I guess my underlying question is whether this EO satellite data industry is durable.
Pre-history usually refers to a time period approximately up to the invention of writing, so some several thousand years. If your time scale is the past 500 million years, there have been some real big mass extinctions to go along with those rapid climate changes. Not sure that's an encouraging precedent.
Now that everyone and their mother in law has chimed in about the perils of AI, folks are arguing whose mother in law gave the better talk.
this is a shallow and dismissive comment lacking any basic charity or nuance: dijkstra was just bad at “goto.”

this doesn’t worry me, though. those in the react crowd that insist on this arbitrary and newfangled “frontend/backend” stratification and are dogmatic about it are by definition going to stick with what they know and won’t come and bother us who choose tools based on real experience and their practical merits. better off they make themselves easy to spot from a distance.
After your first sentence, I thought you were going to argue the opposite. This person's arguments seem to hold water. Aren't the people that argue with him and want to revert his edits a (very strange) activist superminority?

> People are just lazy.

Do you commute to work by walking? How long does that take you each day? How about the grocery store? How many people do you have to do grocery shopping for? What about buying clothing or other necessities? If you're ordering most of your stuff in, you're not reducing the need for driving, you're paying someone else to drive for you.

No, people aren't just lazy. Most people don't have the time or money to live that lifestyle.

Except between 2021 and 2022 california lost 3GW of generation capacity. They're building new plants at the same time they're taking other ones offline and the totals aren't increasing.

This is probably why California continues to warn that rolling blackouts may become a thing. They raised that specter last year, and they're preparing to do it again this year.

Total system capacity is not improving at a rate commensurate with the forced adoption of EVs in the state.
Public transit only works when the stops are all in high density areas. Most the the US is not suitable for it. We might improve it in areas where it makes sense though.
I fed GPT-4 some really old fashioned spatial reasoning questions (inspired on SHRDLU), which it passed. Then when questioned about unstable configurations (which IIRC SHRDLU could not handle) it passed those too.

So it seems like it is definitely capable of some forms of reasoning. Possibly we both tested it in different ways, and some forms of reasoning are harder for it than others?
I wonder why creating a "space tug" to deorbit the station is going to cost NASA $800M. Won't a regular second of third stage of any rocket in current wide use be sufficient? The only tricky part / payload would be an attachment to direct the impulse exactly at the center of mass.

Unprecedented in the era of human farming is sufficient enough for my worry. Yes, life as a whole probably survives whatever happens in one form or another. But those rapid climate changes tend towards seriously limiting the resources available to species living through them. Modern civilization relies on keeping things in a situation where it’s possible to grow enough food to feed 7+ billion people, and I’d rather we not create our own mass environmental change that has a serious possibility to disrupt said food making process.
The issue here is that comprise means "being composed of". So instead of "A comprises B and C" people write "A is comprised of B and C".

Outsourcing != bad hire. Sounds like you just did bad hires, whether that's outsourced or not is diagonal.

I'm a business owner, and we do extensive outsourcing, with a very good outcome. The trick? We outsource from our home region (where I emigrated from), so we know the market better and how to hire well.
It's often a matter of framing. When you abstract, refactor or move complexity it should serve to make the rest of the system/application easier to understand or for those adding features into the application(s) to be more productive as a whole. If it doesn't do one of those things, you probably shouldn't do it.

It's one thing to shift complexity to a different group/team, such as managing microservice infrastructure and orchestration that can specialize in that aspect of many applications/systems. It's very different to create those abstractions and separations when the same people will be doing the work on both sides, as this adds cognitive overhead to the existing team(s). Especially if you aren't in a scenario where your application performance overhead is in eminent danger of suffering as a whole.
These things rust as hell in their enclosures. Volkswagen group EVs with rear drums are catastrophic development. Take press releases and advertisement with a grain of salt next time.
It's certainly an issue what goes into the life expectancy, but the question is whether that sort of thing makes sense. You could just say everyone is dumped in one table with no conditionality and that is the life expectancy. Or you could take into account all sorts of features like gender, occupation, and so forth.

But it's the principle. I mean you could also just say each kid is a quarter vote, each retiree is a half.

Quizzes, yeah, I can see why people think it's a bad idea. But what's the solution to idiots voting? You want people to actually know what's in their interest. And I'm not looking at it from the perspective of any particular country that might have a history of voter suppression through qualifying tests. Just thinking out loud about what to do about this particular issue.

Kid dying before the election is no different from a candidate dying before the election. Or postal early voter dying. We can live with it.

I am just comparing default output from each tool. OP's tool asks for what object to detect and keep, I had selected human so I guess that's why it only kept the person. But yes, my intention was to keep just the person. For this photo, I would go with Adobe because OP's tool adds a halo like outline all around the person. It would differ from photo to photo I think.
I think this only applies to photos with depth information, right?
I don’t trust that discord will prompt for handle changes fairly.

They say that preference will be given based on registration date but don’t say that’s the only preference.

It’s rolling out over months so it will be impossible to audit or test.

My fear is that preference will be given and even though I’ve used discord for many years my handle will be taken by someone else.

The lameness is that they are doing an unfair landgrab where people won’t know if their handle is safe or not for some unpredictable amount of time.

My feeling though is that most people don’t care about their handle based on all the “blarghy1988111” handles that I see.
