Yes, they assumed that. But I'm asking about proof that their theory is true.

The arc of my curiosity is, too often we deliver technology "improvements" that don't necessarily improve the user experience.
Honestly, this makes me excited for future RPGs from bethesda. I've already seen mod demos where chatgpt does dialog for NPCs. Imagine a future elderscrolls or fallout where one could negotiate safe passage with the local raiders / bandits for a wheel of cheese or a 6 pack of nuka cola. A man can dream.
> It's really a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of sci-fi that makes humans out to be idiots or malevolent.

Did we read the same book? A huge portion was devoted to the cultural revolution, and it definitely made humans look pretty "malevolent" there. I don't think the book really tries to be optimistic, just realistic, which means it calls out a lot of good and bad.
It's up to a 4th edition now (I had the 2nd when I was in school). Here are the full contents for the current edition:

Chapters 19 on are going to be the biggest additions from the earlier editions.
I like how the cons of SPA are "you have to manage state" and "clients have to execute code".

I mean, aren't these baseline "get computers to do stuff" things?
Woodworking. I have variously built furniture and done small turning projects (bowls and boxes), which I have found to be very satisfying. Similarly, there are a few suppliers for instrument making of various kinds and from various levels of "scratch" building. I have enjoyed finishing and assembling a couple of guitars, and I could see doing that full-tim for customers who are willing to pay a premium for custom work. I've also toyed with the idea of wooden boat-building. Having put together a Puddle-Duck back in the day, I think this could be a satisfying craft to practice, but the barrier to entry is higher, and the market might be a little harder to break into.
Yes could have been a drunken fall, or someone who climbed up a ledge to try to take some nighttime photos and tripped which I’ve seen plenty of times on social media especially in NYC.
Memes are information, that's all. Just a way of imparting information in an easily digestible manner. You are really deep into this belief and it's pretty surreal.

It's easy to rug pull a cryptocoin that you created. It is not easy to pump and dump stocks with over 500m market cap. WSB is open, I wish you'd just take the time to debunk your own beliefs.
Is anyone else not seeing the article text? (Firefox fwiw)
I wonder if Bluesky is going to Google+ itself by staying in Beta too long.
Poor taste to use this as a platform for your back to office complaints.
I live in Seattle, it's cold and rainy all year long (more or less). I still prefer using my bike over a car (though I have no problem with small car that replaces big car.)
I read this as them being stashed from the inside. At least if you want to go with the theory of childproofing.
> I think it's unrealistic to expect a multi-national government funded organisation to offer a commodity service at a competitive price.

Except that they used to. They certainly beat the pants off of ULA (nee Boeing/Lockheed Martin) when it came to competitive GEO/GTO launches.

> But does it really matter? If the main objective of the Ariane Group is to offer Europe independence by providing access to space, I think that’s worth a premium.

It's a lot nicer to have a European rocket program that happens to make lots of money on the commercial market so that the member states basically don't have to fund it.

The current situation, where ArianeSpace doesn't win that many contracts, so it has to be heavily subsidized by member states is much more difficult. When it comes to politics, there are always more hungry mouths than there is available bread.
His recklessness is exactly what got him results. He is basically saying "fuck it lets blow up rockets until it works". And it does end up working because he was able to surround himself with people that are able to integrate teaching from each "failed" launch and improve the product. The day SpaceX swaps a reckless CEO for a careful one is the day they will stop blowing up rockets. It is also the day the competition will start to catch up.
Anecdataly, every small town diner I've been to since 2021 has very long waits for food and service and the kids working are family. And they all have that 1000 mile stare towards the cities. Even true for Iowa resort lakes in the summer. Before, HS/college kids fought for $10/hr jobs fueling/loading beer into boats. Now the boats are queued up waiting for the 80 year old proprietor to cart their beer down.
Fingers crossed OpenAI / Anthropic / etc do this! Would make working with these APIs for prediction projects that much easier.

Technically speaking it's pretty to force the model into an valid JSON-schema if you have access to the inference autoregressive loop and the logit activations. You can either force known areas of the template to a prefixed template, or fill in the basic JSON wrapper and force the model to choose arbitrary keys and values.

Imagine it might come down to how much of their usage is on generating text vs generating structured prediction payloads.
While I think that that the setup around SpaceX is better than etc format we have done before, I don't think it is much less of a "cathedral" model. Really the only changes in that model are that now there is a second "cathedral" (SpaceX) next to the other one (United Launch Services), and that "cathedral" is managed a bit differently (less direct government/service-buyer control). Both are controlled top-down.

It is nice that there are other players around this space (Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, etc...), but all of them are currently aiming at much smaller payloads (than Falcon 9), or sub-orbital payloads. Those are different spaces.
> What are you on about?

Sigh.

Did you know TikTok was forced to form a company in America so it could comply with American rules?

And BTW: the reason America does not care as much about these apps is because they have deeper hooks into phones and can get the data without worrying about encryption. They get their hands on the messages before they're even encrypted.
I know, magic, right?
It is if you are managing a 24/7 business. Sometimes, I think about hiring someone who take over my role and buy another hotel. But sometimes, I don't feel like expanding.

Post covid things were crazy but hoping it will be normal by end of this year.
I remember it being both and then some...

[edit: both comprising shared code between client and server, as well as, reduced barrier to server-side contribution, and then some including but not limited to the value of the concurrency model, expansive (albeit noisy) library availability, ...]
I don't get this response, at all. It only saves money to have the govt directly build this stuff. I mean take a look at this:

https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2016/09/post_183.html

If Oregon had directly hired software engineers they could have built that portal with probably a team of 6 in less time. If we continue making governments have to pay billions for shitty websites, then we'll continue to have to increase taxes and ... big government -> socialism.
> It's just a lot simpler to block than having to keep up with laws in other countries for businesses who don't even do business in those countries.

Exactly, except that it is just simpler to do nothing.

Do you (I assume you are not in either of the countries I give an examples, nor travel there) worry about laws in, say, China when you state "Taiwan is an independent country", or Russia when you say "Russia invaded Ukraine", or North Korea when you say "NK is a tyranny", or France when you say "Retirement should be at 60 and not 64". No. Because the local laws that forbid these statements are, well, local. Nobody cares outside of these countries. They could send you letters informing that you did wrong and that you have to pay 1M USD and you would just put that to trash.

> I guess my question to you is why do YOU care if they're accessible or not? If a (local) business really just wants to sell within their own (local) country (or even smaller municipality such as state/county/city), is there something wrong with blocking everything outside it out and just not worrying about it?

I do not care - it is just that I ended serendipitously on a few of these places and was wondering why they care (I would not care about the cookie law in Zimbabwe or Patagonia if I had a web site).
The first SPA I wrote, I wrote in React for my use and for the use of friends. I spent about 3 days getting it working and then 3 months getting it to usable performance on my phone. There were no analytics, no binary data (100% text), just a bunch of editable values and such. I ended up having to split it up into a bunch of tabs just to reduce the size of the vdom.
My brother is running a retreat center in Peru, I'm currently there helping out. I'm about to start a programming job next week though because I need money to build a house and to be able to travel. But basically tourism. What I miss in tech is human contact and empathy. When I'm here helping out my responsibilities are answering questions and making sure everyone has what they need (if someone needs a new towel I can get one for them, and also I do translations).

I hope work will be more fun when I work fewer hours and I will also be able to fill my social needs and spend time in nature.
I went to UND for piloting back before 9/11 - and the airlines generally only hired for life. It's fascinating to see how this is changing.
If you're trying to imply something about Google, this is probably not the place to do it.

If that's not what you're trying to do, I honestly don't see the point of your message.
I can't speak for Iowans but it looks very close to what has happened in my home state of Montana. That is, the Republican party has very successfully bonded a functional plurality to itself mostly via the culture war. In Montana this isn't just about your wedge issues like abortion. Particularly there's a long standing animice towards people who move there from California. This goes back to the 90s, long before it became an internet meme. Californians serve as an abstract outgroup that a pundits can pin any absurd or unpopular cultural issue on whilst creating a contrast to "real Montanans" whose character and interests conveniently align with all the pundit's favorite policies. For many of the voters in this plurality, what goes on on the business side is secondary to these culture war and identitarian issues.

This is compounded over time because as the empowered business interest of the party break down the social programs which were the product of a historic culture of community and combination, voters endure real deprivation and feel the pressure and anxiety from that deprivation. But instead of turning against the party and the business interests, they again find their antagonist in the culture. That is, everything has become so expensive and hostile and competitive not because of the growth of financialization and creeping capital but because of a decline in character.

These people are so saturated with culture issues that they cannot see how the very thing they are in bond with, business, is destroying the things they claim to care most about: families, communities and generosity. I am not being condescending when I say that they find themselves able to blaim skyrocketing medical costs on the fact that you cannot pay a doctor in eggs and butter anymore. (Something almost none of them ever did btw. Even in Montana that was a thing of the past by their time. But I have literally heard this argument and many of a similar for. on trips to my home state.)

Yeah it's not a novel approach, it's

1. Chunkify the knowledge database into smallish chunks,

2. When you get a question, find the chunks most similar to the question

3. Prompt the LLM to use [the found chunks] to answer [the question]

If you've ever posted a question to Stack Overflow or a similar site, think about the noise reduction “these posts may be relevant to you” feature. When you're actually asking an interesting and/or open ended question, you get a looooot of false positives. That's in the nature of text similarity search, it really hinges on strong nouns and verbs to anchor the discussion. It's no coincidence that the examples given here are uncommon names like Mussolini and Ketanji.

So while this is not terribly useful, it is interesting that it might severely reduce the hallucination rate, which is a sort of false positive rate. Does it only reduce the false positives for facts that it “knows” via the external database? The really interesting prompts and responses, where you ask it to answer questions about figures who do not exist or data too npew for it to have, see if it still hallucinates, would have been very nice to see in this blog post. Missed opportunity.
This isn't quite true. Python was certainly Guido's passion project, and it started that way. But early in its life, it was funded by the United States government via CNRI (under Bob Kahn).

At every job Guido had subsequently, he had at least some buy-in to work on Python, and some coworkers were also paid to work on Python.

There was a core "PythonLabs" group (I think including Jeremy Hylton?) that apparently moved from CNRI to the a startup BeOpen:

https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10273876... (I watched this whole video, there's also a couple Lex Fridman videos)

At Google from 2005 to ~2014, Guido nominally had 50% of his time to work on CPython, but that's pretty fuzzy because he was really productive in any case. (I was his officemate for a couple years during that time.)

It doesn't feel like hypermedia to me. It just feels like a vue-like language that is an internal DSL for HTML instead of an external DSL for HTML like svelte and handlebars.

Hypermedia advances would be microformats and RDF and the like. http://microformats.org/wiki/faqs-for-rdf
I'm not sure adding a meter value output to the server side check to use it in both places is really more engineering work. Writing separate checks on the client and server side seems much more likely to create headache and extra work.

That said, I could definitely see additional checks being done server side. One example would be actually checking the address database to see if service is available in the entered address. On the other hand, there really isn't any waste here either. I.e. just because you write the validation in server side JS doesn't mean you MUST therefore deploy and use it in the client side JS as well, it just means you never need to worry about writing the same check twice.
> I don't know if it has to do with the book being from a Chinese author

The "knowledge being suppressed by semi-omnipotent aliens" plot is a fairly heavy analogy with the Cultural Revolution and its horrors in suppressing truth and inquiry. The book even mentions it near the start in case you were to miss it. In that context the suicides are probably direct analogies for those who killed themselves in despair during that time.
You can always incrementally add dynamic features using web components when HTMX and similar things aren't a good fit. It doesn't have to be either HTMX or JS-first frameworks. Our industry's fixed mindset of JS/React vs. Hypermedia (e.g., HTMX/Hotwire/Unpoly) needs to change.
Thanks! I had run across this, but it’s a big list, so if there are any you’d particularly recommend let me know!
As I see it though, node.js on the backend is not mainstream, most sites are still using JVM or other back ends. Using the same code for the front end and the back end is a dream that has been pursued in various forms but it isn’t mainstream.
Google is among the most trusted organizations in the US? That doesn't seem right.
> Ghassan al Sharbi

Captured in Faisalabad, Pakistan in March 2002, al-Sharbi was transferred to Guantanamo Bay later that year. In 2006, al-Sharbi told a military commission that he was a member of al-Qaeda and proud of his actions against the United States. Serious war crimes charges were dropped against him in October 2008, as it had been found they were based on evidence gained through torture of Abu Zubaydah. Al-Sharbi had a habeas corpus petition which his father had initiated on his behalf; when it reached the court in March 2009, al-Sharbi requested that it be dismissed. He did not want to pursue it.

Al-Sharbi was held at Guantanamo for twenty years.

The rest of his wikipedia page is not particularly flattering. I don't know to what extent the quasi-justice system that applies to enemy combatants went off the rails here, but I do know that if you're being accused of waging war against the United States, maybe chanting "May God help me fight the infidels or the unfaithful ones" is a bad idea.

> David Matthew Hicks

His story is way too complex to summarize here, but the Wikipedia page is fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hicks

Say what you will, a lot of legal process (good and bad) was applied, and we're talking about a guy who sought out and attended an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan. He spent 5 years in Gitmo. This is not someone who challenged a political leader by calling him a funny name.

The word "vanished" is a massive over-dramatization.
Would that apply? Saying "trans people are targeting Christians" doesn't seem like a religious belief.

Basically Bluesky is getting to learn all of the lessons about why running a social network is hard, at an extremely high speed, with lots of public scrutiny. Fun.
That’s a pretty disingenuous comparison. It’s like taking a single Android manufacturer’s sales, putting it up against the iPhone and saying “look how hard the iPhones outsell it!”.

Once we stack all the non-Tesla sedans together, it paints a much different picture probably.

And that’s not mentioning that companies get big subsidies for electrification, and Tesla purchases themselves get credits on top of that (although I am unfamiliar if they stack).

I think Teslas are pretty great and Tesla as a company likely pushed electrification ahead by a decade or so, but people seriously need to stop drinking the kool-aid.
The framing was not great. "If you hate tik tok, just know that it has only wonderful qualities that are impossible to hate." You might as well be arguing that nobody should hate chocolate ice cream.

---

If you hate chocolate ice cream, I get you. Just know that chocolate ice cream is one of the most popular ice cream flavors in the world, and for good reason. It's creamy, delicious, and versatile. But why is chocolate ice cream so good?

Here are a few reasons:

- Chocolate is a natural mood enhancer. Chocolate contains a compound called phenylethylamine, which is a stimulant that can boost your mood and make you feel happy.

- Chocolate is a source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that help protect your cells from damage. Dark chocolate is a particularly good source of antioxidants.

- Chocolate is a source of calcium. Calcium is an important mineral for strong bones and teeth.

- Chocolate is a source of protein. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissues.

- Chocolate is a source of fiber. Fiber is important for digestive health.

In addition to all of these health benefits, chocolate ice cream is simply delicious. It's the perfect treat to enjoy on a hot day or to satisfy a sweet tooth. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, reach for a bowl of chocolate ice cream. You won't be disappointed.

So what are you waiting for? Go out and buy a tub of chocolate ice cream today!
I think you might be misunderstanding the amount of distrust placed in the root comment. He's claiming the more prestigious a University is, the more likely they are to take unethical funding because increased funding leads to more prestige.

I use htmx on my current project, and it's like a dream. I'm happy to sacrifice a bit of bandwidth to be able to do all the heavy lifting in python. On top of that, it makes testing much much easier since it turns everything is GET and POST requests.

I'd add a couple features if I were working there (making css changes and multiple requests to multiple targets standard), but as it stands, it's a pleasure to work in.
Not a state-sponsored and state-accredited propagandist, you mean?

It might be fair to say that Julian Assange encompassed the roles of journalist, editor and publisher in the same person, which is perhaps not the optimal setup although it's more or less what everyone publishing their work on substack does - but that's not a justification of state persecution.

It's undeniable that Wikileak's publication of the CableGate archive of State Department cables and the Vault7 archive of CIA hacking tool documentation was in the public interest. Some of the more important revelations include that the CIA has tools apparently designed for false-flag cyberattacks, that the State Department's claim to be concerned about human rights and democracy is not reflected in the content of their secret cables (which tend to focus on things like oil pipelines, arms deals, terrorist financing, economic deals, geopolitical maneuvering, etc.).

IANAL but Z-Lib is run as a for-profit business which makes it more of an open and shut case, especially if they're hosting their own files (which I believe they were, to implement that pay gate).

LibGen acts more like an archive that's hosted on IPFS which eliminates a lot of the liability and can't realistically be taken down. You can only download the books from the mirrors LibGen links to and they're often just IP addresses so there's no DNS zone to seize.
Water Pressure is a form of potential energy, like rolling a ball up a hill. The RO system is high pressure on the raw side and low pressure on the clean side - the difference in pressure is the consumed energy.
A good article (GA) is an article that meets a core set of editorial standards, the good article criteria, passing through the good article nomination process successfully. They are well-written, contain factually accurate and verifiable information, are broad in coverage, neutral in point of view, stable, and illustrated, where possible, by relevant images with suitable copyright licenses. Good articles do not have to be as comprehensive as featured articles (FA), but they should not omit any major facets of the topic: a comparison of the criteria for good and featured articles describes further differences.
