Lightest has little to do with thinnest.
It depends of what you mean by browser environments (integration tests?), but vitest with happy-dom is working great for testing libraries and components.
I wonder how much a few simple maintenance bots could help, basically a solar roomba that opportunistically travels along the roof, zig-zagging as far in a day as much or little in a day as it's energy supply allows. Something like that clearly can't work for a small installation, but when a city has a network of roofed bike paths, you'd expect first glimpses of economy of scale. Could nicely hit a sweet spot between doable, futuristic, real-life utility and not served by commercial offerings for a university project.
RDF and related technologies are heavily used in healthcare and scientific fields, as well as industry.

The "semantic web" or "open linked data" concepts never really took off the way people had hoped, but there's till a ton of utility in the underlying standards so you'll tend to find it wherever you need complex, flexible schemas that with good interoperability between different entities.

While you’re at it, why don’t you throw in the real cost of living “rent free”, which is a huge reason why it works.
I've been learning to code for the past year. StackOverflow was hugely important in the beginning. I haven't used it in probably 2 months because ChatGPT does an excellent job of not only answering my questions, but also allowing me to ask follow up questions like "what does that specific line of code do?"
>> dozens of shops

Do they all sell the same goods, or do you have "dozens of shops" that all specialize in a few things, like you have a bakery, coffee shop, produce shop, butcher,hardware store, etc all as independent shops

Or do you have a Kroger, Mejier, Walmart, HEB, Lowes, and HomeDepot style shopping all with in walking distance...
I felt that way until I stumbled upon a usage I didn't anticipate: Helping my teenage son with his math and physics homework.

Generally, I know the concepts he's working on but I've run into a couple problems. First, they don't use textbooks at his school. It's just poorly made slideshows from the teacher that don't clearly explain any topics. So, to get to parity with his understanding, I'd have to hear the teacher explain it.

Second, his work will generally reference names of laws, theorems, etc. that I'm not familiar with. Usually, I'd search for a document, Khan academy video, or some other YouTube video but this has been time-consuming.

I started asking ChatGPT: "Take on the role of a high school teacher in an advanced physics course. Give me a basic explanation of [insert law name here]. Please provide at least two examples and a reference URL."

This has been incredibly useful.
Do you want to avoid mathematics, or is it just part of the decision process?
it really feels like, they should have been given just pure venture capital and a lot more time and test hardware in small batches. And then with enough knowledge pick real good hardware and then deliver a kick ass linux phone. The processor is about 6 years old, a lot will not be working at this time, i still support the idea of a linux phone, i really hope it gets better in the next few years. this android, ios duopoly really sucks ass
Is there something that compares these to more consumer offering like Apple’s ANE?
The parent is likely referring to AMEX cards, which is the only issuer that enforces it as a global policy.

And hence why in developing countries only luxury and ultra-luxury establishments accept AMEX cards.
You can run Vicuna at chatGPT speeds locally off of CPU. idk about MPT.
>This is the same logic that China uses to ban all western apps

Except it doesn't. It's just that apps are required to follow local laws, and many companies - like Google - don't want to, because their entire business is exploiting users' privacy.
I may trust that slightly more. Or Amazon’s bedrock. Or Github. But wait, do I see copyrighted code on GitHub Copilot, which is owned by Microsoft?

My background is in building distributed systems for self-sovereign ownership and make them easy to use and available to everyone. Like https://qbix.com and https://intercoin.org

You should have the software infrastructure of Facebook and Twitter but choose where to host it.

In addition, I prefer Wordpress, Discourse forums, GitLab to GitHub, Redmine to FogBugz, etc.

When it comes to YOUR art, your code, your content, your relationships, you should be able to run it on your own servers.

Any analysis of your data should be done locally, with local models. You should have the open source software and the weights, and you should be able to choose which hosting company to trust, or host on-prem. Villages should be able to do this without needing server farms in California. This should be obvious stuff. But we the people need the software!

But hey, the documentation and teasers and trailers should go on YouTube and TikTok.

It isn’t even about them scraping all your content and training on it. It’s about not giving Twitter all your followers and YouTube all your hours of video production and content so they can give you pennies for being “an influencer”. Own your community!

Someone had to build it, and in the Web2 space nearly everyone sold out to venture capitalists. I was sure that in the 12 years we built Qbix and 5 years of Intercoin someone would make a better open source alternative to Big Tech and Big Finance. Nope. They all either sold out, or have a solution that doesn’t compete on features (eg Mastodon). I would say the closest is Matrix!
why? those modes of transportation are far more efficient, and the economic benefits are obvious?
On the other hand, working with a necktie can feel like working with a noose around your neck. The first (non-intern) job I had out of college required a necktie as part of the dress code, and though I got "used to" it after a while, it was never comfortable in the >5 years I worked there, and I was extremely glad that when I got to the interview for the job I'm in now, one of the first things they said was (paraphrasing, this was over a decade ago) "well, we certainly won't expect you to wear a tie if you get this job!"
The blog does a great job describing the overall arc of corporate capture of government regulatory agencies and trade policies. As other people here have said, it could have included more concrete examples - doubling the size of the article with more examples would be good. Still, well written.

I have been totally captured by the Apple ecosystem and I am not always happy about that. I am more mellow about Google because I pay for the Google services that I use and love (YouTube with no advertisements and YouTube Music, GCP, Colab). I feel that my relationship with Google is transactional under terms I like well enough. I don’t use Google Search.

Off topic, but this blog is on ProtonMail’s domain and I personally think ProtonMail+Calendar+Cloud Storage should get some sort of “most improved product” award. I have been a paying Proton customer for a very long time, but for the last 6 years I have mostly used either Gmail, Apple mail, or FastMail as my primary email with my personal domain. In the last 3 or 4 months I have gone back to using ProtonMail as my primary email provider, and for me it is now 100% “good enough.” Enough small improvements to satisfy me.

I would like to talk more about digital independence and freedom, so I am going to go try to find a Reddit community for this.
We are going to see a lot of this sort of thing. It's like the internet all over again, stuff you used all the time starts to feel old and naive in comparison to new paradigm tools. What is surprising is quite how quickly this has happened, even 2 years ago SO would have been a solid go to, only game in town.

Im also quite fond of the dandelion for the reasons mentioned, but it's about tidiness.

Tidiness reflects the care and love of the person responsible to his or her surroundings (that is, his environment). Its hard work to weed your lawn, to prune your roses, to edge your sidewalk! Keeping the lawn you painstakingly weeded weed free is a study of grass' lifecycle.

That being said we now have the worst of both worlds. We're lazy and irresponsible but want to pretend we're not to our neighbors, so we hire a bloke to spray poison everywhere. We have lawns where there is no water instead of coming up with a neat yard with more suitable vegetation.

When I was growing up I was so annoyed at my dad who made me pull weeds out by hand with him. Why couldn't we use Round Up like every one else? Now I see the wisdom of his monk-like personality.

You said the fundamental concept in Rust is ownership.

What I described is also fundamentally ownership, but much simplified.

You can use something without owning it, because to "use it" you send a message to it, and get a message back (i.e. send input, get output). There are two ways to message something in this system:

1. To own it and message it directly.

2. To own a reference identifier to it, and message your own owner to message it via the reference and return you the resulting message.

The distinction between Copy and Clone is Rust specific. It's not about deep vs non-deep, it's about whether something is moved by default or copied implicitly by default, and they wanted to copy some simpler scalars, like numbers, say, for pragmatic reason. But this odd exception, i.e. does something move or copy by default is very much a defect in Rust. It's a core behavior that differs based on whether the type implements copy or not.

In the simplified model I propose everything is copied (deep) by default, but you don't pay the cost for larger structures being copied, due to COW.

When everything you own is uniquely yours, making all copies deep copies becomes not only trivial, but also the fastest way to copy. And there's no reason to talk about "shallow copy". The concept is meaningless, you're used to it, you have a habit for it, but if people could deep copy everything, they would. "Shallow" copies are a limitation of languages where everything is wired by handles, pointers, and references in an arbitrary graph. And then a deep copy may never terminate, among other things. It's a mess.

Rust's graph is not (as) arbitrary, per se, it's stricter, but it keeps many of the same defects, in part to maintain C compatibility.

Meanwhile, your operating system has a hierarchy-based memory management (single ownership segments, at the hardware level a hierarchy of pages etc.), and COW in select places where as I noted immutability is present for some content, some of the time (like Unix forking). So does your file system.

Everything that's mature does this: DAG for immutables, TREE for mutables. Programming languages are clearly not as mature yet.
First, your search term is actually wrong (to be fair it's Google changing things), it should be lightest thinnest "homemade" laptop, not the current lightest thinnest +homemade laptop (yes, I tested this, there are now homemade included in the search unlike with your original search term). Don't ask me why Google changed this but there you go.

Second, even with this, the results still show prebuilt laptops (the word homemade is in the page, but in the places you don't expect: title of other articles). Maybe there are no homemade thin laptops (link if there's actually one) because I've used Bing and Brave and they also came back with prebuilts.

Edit: oh, jszymborski (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36001836) suggests you to use DIY the next time you've searched as this tends to be the term used in the maker community.
biggest danger for advertising revenue is ChatGPT. I visit it much less often since GPT. ChatGPT is just so much better at answering questions. I feel like I'm 10 times more productive with GPT. No more searching 1000 duplicate stack oveflow questions to find this one answer that accidentally refers to your specific use case. Long time ago I also used to contribute to site, but this was really emotionally challenging because of so many noob questions and general toxic community.

I guess SO has really bleak future both because of competition from GPT and contributor burnout.
Oh yes we can! Its already a component of these generative tools:

You might want to finetune it to reliably recognize "happy little clouds" with some samples of what you consider to be happy little clouds, as well as not happy and not little clouds for regularization.
If you're an AMD fanboy, you'd only care about Cinebench despite the fact that its results do not correlate with gaming or other common applications such as browsing, Excel, video editing, etc.

There's a reason why x86 CPU users will only want to compare Apple Silicon using Cinebench. It's because Cinebench uses Intel Embree, which is hand optimized for x86 instructions. It's like testing Ryzen or Core CPUs on software optimized for ARM instructions, and then making a conclusion on how fast they are for x86 applications.

Use Geekbench.

> We asked them to consider whether the results reflected well on their goal of becoming educated citizens. Of course they did not.

"of course not" is the answer on educated citizen question. If the question would be about educated person my answer is opposite.
Only partly, and not the part that dtagames was speaking of.

There are three families of distance units.

One is absolute length units <https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-4/#absolute-lengths>. px is the canonical one of these, but it may be anchored to physical measurements (typical in print) or the reference pixel (which in practice is generally approximated by some number of device pixels multiplied by a scaling factor from the operating system).

Then you get viewport-percentage lengths <https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-4/#viewport-relative-length...>, of which I will not speak, save to note that they’re broken by design so that they’re almost completely useless for layout purposes.

Then you get font-relative lengths <https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-4/#font-relative-lengths>. The em dtagames speaks of is one of these. The root em, rem, is commonly used as a base, and is most commonly 16px, but it depends on a variety of factors like user preferences, the root font-size, the root font-family, and the root language. It’s very messy and even mildly context-dependent.

Most lengths should generally be font-relative for most perfect compatibility and user-preference-acceptance, but doing this perfectly is harder than it may sound.
I occasionally have a new stupid idea for which I want to use a fresh install on a Raspberry Pi, so I flash a new SD card with dd maybe 4-5 times per year.

Inevitably it turns out my idea was not as useful as it seemed when it first popped in my head, so after a few weeks/months that Pi is turned off and returned to the pi drawer.... ready for the next brilliant idea.

(ps. I typically use the `pv` command to see progress with stuff other than dd)
> The idea that they could stop any criminal accessing some sort of alternative E2EE chat incredibly easily despite this bill is really a commentary on either how pathetic their technical advisory team is, or how little they listen to said team.

Totally agree. This is partly what makes me so frustrated with this sort of legislation, because the technical arguments and assumptions that they base a lot of their legislative discussions on don't seem to make any sense at all.

ChatGPT on Steroids?
Stumbled onto something nifty the other day and thought I'd share - it's a tool called DocuAsk. Basically, it lets you upload docs and then compare them, but here's the kicker - it works with any language. No joke. Kinda like chatpdf.com but with the ability to compare multiple documents.

Imagine you've got a bunch of different versions of building codes from Japan, Korea, and the US (I work in architecture), or maybe some contracts or papers in different languages. You throw them into DocuAsk and it tells you what's what. It's been a lifesaver for me, especially on those days when my brain's just too fried to pick apart the fine print.

Anyways, I've found it super useful, so I thought some of you might as well. Here's the link: https://www.docu-ask.com/invited/clhr535lh0000pcx3rq5ef98g (get me some credits :) )
If anyone else has tried it, I'd be curious to hear what you think. Later!
Apple probably will switch to a self-hosted solution.
Dandelion fritters and pancakes are also excellent and b/c they use the the flower heads / leaves they are easy to forage for.
Yeast also dies, and then is broken down, and consumed by the other yeast. Yeast also consumes other proteins and sugars in the fermenting liquid. It leaves behind a protein-enriched liquid with a unique taste. It's actually a useful culinary trick in general; allow some yeast to grow aggressively and then boil it. If you concentrate it, you end up with something much like sold commercially as Vegemite or Marmite. It's savoury and tangy. Often described as mushroom-like. Can be used to thicken, and otherwise add some flavour to, a flat stew or sauce.

Different yeasts eat themselves, and metabolize sugar, with different efficiencies and slightly different chemical pathways. It would not surprise me if this has an effect on the overall end product. Anecdotally, based on my cousin's home brewing experiments, beers brewed with standard baking yeast compared to specialized brewing yeasts are significantly "yeastier" tasting -- they start to die at relatively low alcohol concentrations and so more yeast mass ends up in the final product, I think.
Regardless of frequency of use, I always want progress and to verify we haven't stalled. With no output, I'm at the mercy of $RANDOM_BS.
Dandelion & Burdock is SO SO damn good, I always wondered why it didn't spread to the rest of the world, it was my fav soda growing up. Weird because Americans and Canadians really like Root Beer but not Dandelion & Burdock.
I was surprised in how much Beijing changed from 2010 to 2020. In 2010 it was loud scooters every where, and by 2020, it was a majority of electric scooters / e-bikes, which has made a big different in some parts of the city.

Even if you were a doctor, making a diagnosis upon reading a post is not good practice.

It is easy to find subjects who did nothing else but the suspected activity develop RSI, so it is a weird claim to suspect it might not exist. For computers in particular, the "emacs pinky" is common knowledge, unless you'd think people suffer from collective hallucination (maybe a side-effect of emacs?).

It is definitely a condition that improves with rest, even if not totally and over a long period (months rather than days).
There is also some level of evidence that suggest that psychological factors have an influence (there are a few obvious potential links that would explain it, but I'm not familiar enough with the research).
All I can say is WOW WOW WOW

Very nice!

PEP 684: A Per-Interpreter GIL for Python approved
Whst’s ironic about mid-band 5G is that the infrastructure is not just higher performing than 4G but cheaper to build out and run.

Carriers could realize large gains by switching customers from 4G to 5G for free, but the way they think, 5G has to be a pricey add-odd that reduce customer take-up and keep the carriers running more expensive 4G networks.

It's interesting how every build system, frontend framework, programming language implements its own promise pipeline/delayed execution/observables/event propagation

This is exactly the reason to use state machines/data flows IMO.

Every implementation is unique enough that simply following how data flows through the different states and transitions, and where the sinks and funnels are, will tell you everything you need to know about what your system is actually doing at any point in time.

The challenge there is, things like that are a shitload of instrumentation and requires a lot of forethought to not just jam everything into a framework that puts boundaries on what you can design and implement. So for 99% of applications, it's not worth the hassle and you're better off with just basic text documentation.
That’s literally a point I made in reverse. It’s too much work. For a good, real degree. This is not the story of a boy genius thriving on raw intelligence. I suspect this is a story of his parents manufacturing a story by figuring out how to get these degrees with the minimal possible effort.

Nobody gets 5 degrees in unrelated things out of personal interest. Especially not at 12. Normal interested people may take additional classes in other areas, but you don’t get 5 degrees unless you optimize for getting 5 degrees. Again, purely based on time.

The kid also had to be homeschool for normal school stuff the entire time. I say because I got annoyed and dug up additional info.
Did anyone else look at the code and ask themselves- what is the actual formatting standard being used?

Looks like a combination of Whitesmiths and ChatGPT.
Maybe not great compared to now, but in line with my post, not "dead at ~40", and a damn sight better than the bronze age/middle ages.
ChatGPT vs. open source (Vicuna and MPT) on harder tasks
Yeah sure, with all the advertising madness going on merit is something that will get you a polite smile at most.

But why even bother with something like a blog platform? You're not even innovative (looks like substack is simpler than medium so... cutting back on features?) so why pour all that money into it? Just to have yet another shitty platform and take investors money while trying to grow it?
To this day this is the best experience I had in VR by far. I spent hours roaming the earth, it's truly amazing. It's sad that Google is massively underutilizing this asset.

Necessity is the mother of all invention, and with Necessity also comes scale, and with scale comes less cost...

Interesting response. I develop the Julia SciML organization https://sciml.ai/ and we'd be more than happy to work with you to get wrappers for PRIMA into Optimization.jl's general interface (https://docs.sciml.ai/Optimization/stable/). Please get in touch and we can figure out how to set this all up. I personally would be curious to try this out and do some benchmarks against nlopt methods.
Not a video fan and you have another comment mentioning static analysis I replied to. I have hunch you have something important to say about C++ static analysis and I’m curious as it could be a worthy topic for people to discuss. Tell us more if you can, even high level.
