Same, but I would say I only had these problems because I'm using arch and living in the bleeding edge. On the boxes I'm using a stabler distro (Ubuntu, PopOS, Mint) never had this problem.

It is by choice though, if you want everything updated to their latest releases you need to live with some breaking changes here and there
Or just "free hosting", no further details needed. Later they may say "this was unsustainable and we will drop this", and that would be OK.
"liquid sodium, whose boiling point is more than 8 times higher than water’s"

Ew, multiplicative temperature comparisons in unspecified units.

Sodium's boiling point is 882'C.

"so it can absorb all the extra heat"

Confusion of temperature and heat? Sodium's specific heat capacity is ~1/3 of water, so sodium's higher boiling point doesn't by itself mean that it can absorb more heat, though ofc the combination is still in sodium's favour.

More like a different kind of sharing app/company as the potential starting point to people figuring out how to live the way they want to. I am indeed wondering out loud about whether anyone would participate in such a system.

To me, it could look like a bunch of people join a company through an app or something and receive voting shares they keep as long as they are participating.

Members would contribute various kinds of property and only members can vote on who gets to use what, for how long, and what, if anything gets sold to fund the company. At least initially, it would probably also have to be funded by members working regular jobs and contributing cash to the company but pretty shortly afterwards the idea would be to have the business making money on it's own by selling things the members make and want to sell.

The cash would then be used to buy anything the members vote to buy. Which then becomes part of the property pool people can vote on using.

As long as the members are geographically distributed, the company would also need to pay for shipping stuff around when it's time to change who is using what.

If it is profitable enough, then it might be able to provide most or all of what the members need to live their best lives. Short of that, it may at least be able to create a micro version of UBI or something.

There are a lot more details to work out than those of course. I do actually want to see if this approach can do something to help people live they way they want to. However, it's hard to imagine any communists or socialists wanting to join such a company if it is run by someone with a capitalist mindset. Even if that person's motives are pure and clear. Naturally, even if I was administrating such a system, I wouldn't allow myself voting powers in it but I suspect still that wouldn't be enough.

I heard that PETG is more sensitive to humidity from the air than PLA. So maybe that is the difference? Maybe you live in a dryer climate and the person you are responding to has more moisture in the air?
Fully agree, but the research helps. I buy them sometimes if a service I have used for years offers one suddenly to get in some cash. I have not been betrayed; I do have some that are 15 years old. And they work.

Let’s start with a strict and careful definition: A racist is a
person who makes unjustified assumptions about the behavior or
character of individuals based on beliefs about group racial
differences.

I think racism, in this sense, is an unequivocally bad thing. I
think most decent human beings would agree with me. But if we’re
going to define racism as a bad thing, then it has to be a behavior
based on unjustified assumptions, because otherwise there
could be times when the fear of an accusation of racism could prevent
people from seeking or speaking the truth.

There are looser definitions abroad. Some people think it is
racist merely to believe there are significant differences
between racial groups. But that is an abuse of the term, because it
means that believing the objective truth, without any intent to use it
to prejudge individuals, can make you a racist.

You're continuing to act as if you hate his politics and refuse to read what he writes in good faith, and fail to cite quotes. I guess from the previous discussions this is a pet project of yours. Calling out problems and explicitly trying to figure out solutions where everyone is on equal footing is the opposite of racism.

For my own pet project: Public school systems are failing to teach effectively but it disproportionately impacts minorities due to systemic income inequality (suburbs with 'good schools' being richer). (My mom thinks this is done on purpose and stems from old-school racists still upset about desegregation, and lately I think she's right - too many inner city schools are turning people out without even the ability to read for it to be an accident.)
In your worldview, ESR would be giddy about this and want it to continue. Does that really seem like something he would agree with, to you?

From my reading of his blog, I can't really see my way to a world where he would. He seems like a libertarian/egalitarian that would want to improve education for everyone, so it's very difficult to see how you're getting to your conclusions, nevermind try them on for size.

I have seen quite a few people sewn up after surgery and with few exceptions the work that is visible has always looked sloppy to me. Crooked incisions, odd spacing of stitches, knots that look like 4+ half hitches stacked on top of each other, loose ends dangling, etc. I realize the point is not to make your surgery look pretty, but damn, I have seen packs of steaks tied up nicer than my wife’s c-section sutures.
We currently use postgres. The server is very dumb, verifies user authentication and allows paging through the encrypted entries.

There's a PoC that allows it to work with SQLite too for single user setups - and we are thinking of switching to a distributed object store for our public server since we don't need any relational behaviour.

Now please do same for "factoid". The recent inversion of the definition of factoid is a much bigger problem. The term originates from medical science and means "a FALSE fact that is believed to be true after appearing in print". But some journalists miss understood it to mean "a small, but TRUE fact." Their new definition was false, but is now believed to be true after appearing in print.

So, the modern definition of factoid is, itself, a factoid.

Making this, er, fact well known will be useful to future historians, who, when they encounter the word in early 2nd millennium texts, are going to have to puzzle over whether or not the factoid mentioned is actually meant to be true, or false.

Edit, btw, the suffix "oid" means "resembling", so, a factoid is something resembling a fact. Therefore, factoid contains its own definition; and we still butchered it.
Discovering life on other planets would be at least a Copernican-level shift in most sciences. I think it'd be the discovery to trump all other discoveries.

Depends on the lens. Lenses made for general photography often don't stack up against a good triplet astrograph when it comes to things like chromatic aberration, field flatness, sharpness etc. You will also need a good tracking mount and some form of guiding (e.g. dedicated guide scope + guide camera). That said, you can do much better than Hyperia with much less money.
The original didn't have to share shipping lanes with huge modern cargo ships that often rely on their radar to go quite fast in bad visibility. Faced with adding anachronistic radar vs. dying from hazards that the original ship didn't have to face, most sailors pick the radar.

What part of Germany are you from? Isn't there a clear distinction between Wolke (cloud) and Volk (people). I ask this as Dutch speaker (so, speaker of 'West Germanic') where there is a very clear distinction between volk and wolk (which presumably have the exact same meaning and origin as their German counterparts).

Anecdotally, I once spoke with Russian students (this was long ago) who insisted that there was a Russian 'v/w' sound in the word Berenburg (the name of a distilled spirit). I couldn't hear it...

World outside this tech bubble is so different.

I worked in conventional ELV systems related engineering before getting into tech. I feel like people outside high-tech life are so much behind in many aspects of life - the progress made by tech on the lives of high-tech people are yet to reach the ordinary person.

There are so many non-tech people out there we look down but in fact they are the probably 98% of humanity and their reality define how we as humanity evolve.

you can mostly do that in bash:

makes files like

stuff/logs/bash-history-2023-05-06.log

that contain

2023-05-06.11:42:38 /home/dv 3737 2023-05-06 11:42:38 cat .bashrc

then you can make some commands to grep through this

I asked GPT to write a program which displays the skeleton of a project, i.e. folders, files, functions, classes and methods. I put that at the top of the prompt.

I had a spooky experience with a project that was written almost entirely by GPT. I gave it the skeleton and one method and asked it for a modification. It gave it and also said "don't forget to update this other method", and showed me the updated code for that too.

The spooky part is, I never told it the code for that method, but it was able to tell from context what it should be. (I told it that it itself had written it, but I don't know if that made any difference: does GPT know how it "would" have done things, i.e. can predict any code it knows that it wrote?)

The article implies that sodium cooling is novel, but it's been used in (experimental) reactors since the 1950s.

If I made a joke to my white colleagues about not pillaging the fridge like they did in Algeria, it would be considered highly inappropriate (rightfully).

If it's just humour and jokes, then why do all the jokes have to be about about not being a man or not being white?

The people making those jokes are simply intolerant and are biased against others at best, but using humour as a cover.

And as I said in another post, I'm French, my native language is French, the only difference between me and most of my French ex-coworkers is my skin.

I would not have looked for a job elsewhere if it wasn't for this situation because I didn't speak English very well. I had an awful accent during my first two years at Segment, and yet I felt so oddly accepted. I felt more accepted at a US. company working from my home in Europe with a terrible accent, than in my own country where I'm a native speaker working in the office.

I don't think the best way to fight intolerance is contributing to the brain drain, but that's the only solution we have for now.
Exactly. Electricity is fungible and so is capital. Spend the capital on the technology that arrives soonest with the least capital.

Cost comparisons for nuclear are also dubious. The French are discovering their decommissioning costs are a multiple of what they predicted. Who, using what cash-generating capability, is going to pay for that?

And where to reprocess or stash the waste?

What we are seeing with uranium fission plants being touted as new tech is an attempt to forget the PWR uranium fission problems. TBF it is not for the sodium-cooled uranium reactor people to solve all the problems. But those problems still need solving.
Carbon fiber would be a no-brainer for weight and focus stability. It is not even that expensive.
The world lacks a good system for microtransactions to make paying the actual costs feasible.

Also I'm already paying my ISP for a connection, and so is everyone that views the things I host, so personally I hope for advances in P2P to leverage that existing already-paid-for bandwidth for distribution instead of having to toss more money on top.
Copilot without -x does this relatively well. But it's a hands-on process. I can't just give it some source files and say "go". But it can easily make you 10x. I often spend more time tab-completing than writing.
It is the classic & interesting question, but from watching other creators it seems to miss a key variable: Reliability of monetization.

Someone may love making videos, has a reliable core audience and good views from western audience (and thus high pay rate). However if it costs them 1k to make a vid and the algo is hit/miss as to whether it gets demonetized or not then that becomes a show stopper issue. If you make 3 vids a month and are unlucky then you've got a -3k cashflow...so you're not eating that month.

I've seen some move to Twitch as a result since core audience will follow and subs are a bit more predictable (or rather not as all or nothing)
A Note from Ray Kurzweil on the Recent Call to Pause Work on Powerful AI
> So you tolerate his racism because you like his politics? Or is tolerating racism part of your politics too?

From the start this thread is because I questioned the description of him as a racist, so I clearly don't believe he's a racist. Tolerating racism is very much not a part of my politics, or your accusation of him being a racist wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Obviously.

Still not sure why you've consistently tried to cast phrases that disagree with you politically but have absolutely no bearing to race as racist in tone, somehow. At least this last set of quotes, minus the context, facially _appear_ to be racist. That's an improvement! I couldn't substantiate the first couple. He could plausibly have just made the originals disappear, but at this point I'm losing interest. If he was a racist, and a presumably unapologetic one, why is it not in his blog, and why is his blog in stark contrast to your claims?

I've towed under sail and it works fine if done properly... certainly it can be challenging and requires an experienced person at the helm of each boat, especially if going downwind or upwind.

In this case I am sure you are right, and the size difference would make towing under sail dangerous. A sudden gust enough to accelerate the larger boat to above the smaller boats hull speed could pull the smaller boat underwater quickly.

I think that quote makes sense if you assume that the complexity is required. Over-engineering is a whole different topic.

Hi! I’m looking for a position of a backend/full stack developer. I have more than 20 years of experience as software developer. Open to remote job opportunities.
Do not attempt to push an 8-meter vessel by hand while at sea. Even a smallish 1-foot wave, when pushing against an 8-meter hull, can generate thousands of pound of force.
Thank-you. I see the SIM7600X has space for nano SIM.
Very good contrast. Usually no need for collimation. No diffraction spikes (well, SCT don't have that either).
It's very good at guessing from function names and context. This is very impressive the first few times, and very frustrating when working with existing codebases, because it assumes the existence of functions based on naming schemes. When those don't exist, you can go ask it to write them, but this is a rabbit hole that leads to more distractions than necessary (oh now we need that function, which needs this one). It starts to feel like too much work.

Often, it will posit the existence of a function that is named slightly differently. This is great for helping you find corners of an API with functionality you didn't know existed, but insanely frustrating when you're just trying to get code working the first time. You end up manually verifying the API calls.
If you want to see some big numbers, look at fossil fuel capex. Those big numbers have been spent year after year for decades on getting us into this problem. Don't expect to get out of it for much less, even though individual renewables projects look cheap by comparison. It has to add up to the same power output.
Thanks! I stand corrected, a little embarrassed, but also somewhat relieved :-P

But it's a cost shared by all open shells, right? Well, even if it was 15MB per shell session, it should still be worth it if the startup and searching is faster.

For comparison: I use extended ZSH history format, which records a timestamp and duration of the call (and nothing else), and I have ~65k entries there, with history file size, as mentioned, 3.8MB. It could be an order of magnitude larger and I still wouldn't care, as long as it loads faster than it takes ZSH to parse its history file.
