this applies to SVG at low level as well (path data break with the semantically annotated pattern of higher level constructs). It is in some sense unavoidable / desirable to be able to include such numerical data intensive blobs.

Where PDF (and its broader ecosystem) blundered is that it feels it would be rather low cost to maintain logic and metadata that would make re-usability of document information much easier.

Of-course we talk with hindsight etc.
The thing is, though, that the value of these APIs is largely driven by the userbase, and the most valuable users tend to use third-party clients.

Now, I'm not surprised to see _Twitter_ doing this, because it's just one of a laundry-list of ideas that Naughty Old Mr Car has to make Twitter worse; it really barely registers. But _Reddit_, I would have thought, would be a lot more conservative in the "massive dangerous change" department, particularly after what happened to Digg (and more generally the history of internet forums). I'd expect that there's a huge danger for them here that the big third party apps will simply endorse a Reddit clone.

There is an interesting book called the "Jazz of Physics" and the author loves John Coltrane.

https://www.amazon.com/Jazz-Physics-Between-Structure-Univer...

I honestly have a mixed feeling about the book. On the one hand, it is cool to see the author tie together a bunch of interesting ideas about physics and math with the music of John Coltrane and other jazz artists. On the other hand, it feels like he is hand waving a lot and often spouting technical terms. But, perhaps that is just like Jazz! It was a fun read most of the time.
Well it's good, and very happy, but seriously, what is going to power Northern Europe in winter? Burning gas which is somehow seen as green? Ginormous batteries storing summer energy through until April, which people inexplicably assume will become viable by extrapolating exponential growth? Or good old coal as a "temporary measure"?

IMO renewables as a backbone for energy generation in a random locale, over nuclear, are misguided. I fear they will replace maybe 60-70% of fossil, if that, then will hit a wall and we will keep on burning stuff to patch the holes, or will build nukes anyway for this purpose, at which point the renewables will have been a waste of money and time. Or maybe we will just all burn to a crisp before any of this matters.

I hope I'm wrong, because sure enough no one making energy investments seems to agree with me.
I've tried the diy approach for programming and sports. Some limited success but it's difficult to get all the parameters like placement, duration, and current figured out, especially for sports.

Hello, lead dev here. Yes there's ugly personal history, but as I said, I don't want to get into a he said/he said discussion because it won't go anywhere. Will just say that it's bad enough that it forced us to rewrite an AGPL library (in which I was personally contributing for months) from scratch instead of reusing it, as we had all the permission to do so. That's how bad it got in the background.

> The problem is that you're presenting the problem as very one sided while it's clearly contested at minimum. This + the fact you're Russian is making it easy to guess whose agenda you're pushing.

You're literally doing what you're accusing me of in this thread. The fact that you continue to use ad hominem as a form of argument really shows which one of us has an agenda here.

> It's difficult to get neutral data. We have data from Kremlin, but it would be dumb to take their word as true.

We don't have to take their word as true, we can look at the fact that western media is now increasingly skeptical about the direction of the war.'

> An unconvential data measuring emissions suggest that Russian industry is in decline

That's really not showing much of anything, the graphs in the actual report show minor fluctuations, and don't even show longer term trends https://archive.ph/2XS6C

> I guess you're intentionally "forgetting" that the west amounts to 50% of world's economy. Being sanctioned by half the world's economy has likely negative consequences.

I guess you're forgetting that this cuts both ways. Being cut off from a major commodity exporter is currently hurting western countries. That's why Germany is in a recession right now.

Meanwhile, your argument doesn't actually hold because Russia just needs to have enough trade partners to replace the trade with the west, and the west still needs the things it was getting from Russia. So, all that happens in practice is that Russia sells to other countries, and they resell to the west. This is how supply and demand works.

> We have only little evidence unfortunately, since as stated above, we simply lack reliable data. There are a few tidbits which might suggest that the economic picture is not that rosy - the emission study above, the Russian state deficits, dropping oil/gas revenues and even Putin admitting that sanctions can hurt Russian economy.

There are plenty of tidbits that suggest western economies are in a terrible shape and that western countries are experiencing an unprecedented cost of living crisis right now. As I've pointed out before, Russia has made it through much bigger crises in 1990s and in 2014. On the other hand, the west has not had a comparable crisis to what we're seeing now in recent history. We'll just have to see how the west copes with it.

> But to repeat myself, I'm ready to admit that the sanctions regime is not perfect. It's a reminder to work harder on new sanctions and to plug holes.

What the sanctions are actually achieving is creating a whole separate economy around BRICS that will be decoupled from the west. The whole scheme can only work when the west is at the centre of the world economy. That's no longer the case, and we're seeing countries moving off the dollar now at an accelerating rate.

they are when you replace a human's activity with what's effectively a computation engine.

Those have fundamental limitations which are well known, and they did it anyway. Any reasonable professional in a position to advise should have known, there is really no excuse because this is such a fundamental limitation going all the way back to Claude Shannon and Turing. Its discussed regularly in computer science major related undergraduate coursework.

This doesn't sound right - i had gnome/Wayland running on two external displays with different fractional scaling - and a window spanning the gap or being moved from one screen to the other looked fine?

This (fractional scaling) only worked under Wayland - but there it worked fine.

I think the comments criticising the pricing are wrong, you can't compare one generalist tool to another highly specialised tool. But on top of that comparing to Figma, Framer or other VC backed products is a mistake, these products are priced to capture market share and grow rabidly. They are clearly underpriced. I may be wrong but CSS Pro looks like a small bootstrapped product, pricing for market growth doesn't need to be the strategy. This is priced for sustainable development and supporting the developer on a small niche product.

If a developer/designer is using this 1 day in 5 then they can justify the subscription.

To those suggesting this shouldn't be a subscription, keep in mind that CSS is going through a period of rapid improvements, this enables them to add support for new features without having to either eat the cost on a sold product or charge for upgrades multiple times a year.

VC backed business setting low prices for rapid growth has unfortunately damaged the ability for small indie developers to price their products sustainably.

The Japanese article does explicitly state it if you run it through a translator, and also this is from May 11

> Additionally, the group raised other issues that Article 30-4 of the Copyright Law, which permits the use of a copyrighted work for machine learning, does not include procedures for gaining permission in advance from copyright holders. The article permits the use of copyrighted material such as text and images to train AI, regardless of whether the model is for commercial use. Under the current law, it is legal to train AI with copyrighted material even if the data was obtained illegally.

> Do you think it's physically impossible to recreate human-level general intelligence artificially?

I have no idea. I have no basis for concluding it's either possible or impossible.

> Do you think it's physically impossible for any intelligence to be superhuman, even a natural intelligence?

No, I think a godlike being could materialise an entity with superhuman intelligence, or natural selection could evolve one (perhaps even on earth -- perhaps it already has!).

> Unless you answered "yes" to either of the above, why shouldn't it be physically possible for humans to create superhuman AGI?

Even assuming I believe both the above are possible that doesn't mean I think it's possible they could occur on planet earth within any meaningful time frame. I also think that interstellar travel is compatible with the laws of physics but just because we've sent humans to the moon and robots to mars we have no idea whether interstellar travel is feasible or when it might occur. For me the response to the advent of GPT is like people saying "wow, we've sent men to walk on the moon -- if we keep going people will soon be visiting mars/alpha centauri!".

There's no rational basis (scientific, logical, anything) for knowing whether AGI is more akin to mars in this analogy (and we're really quite close) or to alpha centauri (and we're nowhere near).

RiF is probably the only reason I used Reddit for as long as I did. Excellent interface, really solid client. I even paid the premium just to show my appreciation.

My hatred for Reddit the platform only grew as time passed, to a point where I mostly dropped the site from my browsing habits a couple of years ago. I hope the recent changes bring an end to Reddit, the world will be better without it.

But my hatred for Reddit does not extend to RiF, much to the opposite. I hope whatever Reddit replacement spawns in the future has a RiF for it.

Last time I looked, it basically ran per-file "cc -E" on the source machine to get a compilation unit (optionally checking for a ccache cache hit at this point), then piped the result to "cc" running on the target machine, and copied the resulting object file back.

Yes, for small N.

Overall scaling was limited by how much "make -j" the source machine could cope with.

It can be. By default it is local.

But it has protobufs interfaces (IIRC), so a distributed build farm would generate the grpc endpoints for their implementation and then you tell bazel on the command line (or via .bazelrc) the address of the build farm it can use.

It’s definitely a problem. However reducing annual global fossil fuel usage by 70% is still huge and worth doing today.

In terms of the Northern Europe winter, wind, offshore wind, and solar from Africa will hopefully make up a lot of the shortfall.
Also hydro, bio gas... And solar is working in winter as well, just a lot less efficient. But than there will still be a grid hetting electricity to those places.

It’s not that difficult to spoof the DNS server or even DHCP responses on public wifi networks (or local LANs). Yes you can setup enterprise networks to detect or block that but plenty of people aren’t on enterprise networks:

It’s also easy to stand up wireless SSIDs of common public networks (eg “Apple Store”) and have devices preferentially connect to you if it happens to be earlier in the wifi network order list.

There's some neat things in here - the gradient editor showing the stops on the element is pretty nice.

But overall the design of this tool is very difficult for me to use. It's trying too hard to be pretty, at the expensive of utility. I found the Typography section to be really difficult to grok with a complete lack of labels and borders around text boxes. It's neat that you have the same flexbox controls that Webflow had in 2015, but the way those icons are laid out makes it so inscruitable.
