IMO, including those generated .txt files is a small[ish] feat that's important to those that are looking for it, and benign to those that don't need it or know what it is.

I suspect most users who use a site generator would be happy with more "automagic"—especially if it were 1. easy to config or turn off and 2. addressing important things like security-related contact info, or how a web-scraping bot should respect your domain.

Also: "simple" generators often veer into "complicated" territory by adding crap features. Elegant appears to lack crap features; IMO, adding *.txt would not complicate or confuse.

I've had that discussion here too. The responses to the idea that our modern concept of consciousness is relatively[1] recent go like this:

> So it seems like the argument is that consciousness didn’t exist because we didn’t have a word for it.

I wish we as a community could actually have a conversation about this history of the idea of consciousness, but it's been so well-reified over the last 380+ years that it's a tough rock to loosen and is a load-bearing idea in the public's core belief structure - to our collective detriment.

When I was in school(2002-2012), the Maharashtra state board history education was Maharashtra centric, not delhi centric. Most of the history lessons revolved around the maratha empire, their enemies. Few years were dedicated to freedom struggle, world wars and ancient history.

Even then though, there was very little about even other kingdoms who ruled present day Maharashtra, so there is clear need of diversity in history education.
IMHO this makes the PiTube Direct project perhaps even more impressive: it attaches emulated vintage microprocessors to the BBC Micro Tube interface, implementing the Tube circuitry in software.

I feel the same way as the parent. Just about everything touted in the entertainment industry fails to hold my attention or generate any desire. I haven't felt the urge to watch a movie, play a game, or really engage with much marketed media in a while. Don't mistake me for being depressed too, I am quite happy.

I get a lot of fulfillment in life from fairly mundane things: work, socializing, exercise, reading about whatever niche I am interested in the moment. I don't think it's abnormal either.

I see two community reasons for using GitHub:

1. People already have accounts, so it lowers the barrier to reporting issues and contributing.

2. GitHub provides some level of discovery that's hard to replicate otherwise.

Both of these are a function of GitHub being popular. It doesn't have to be a particularly great tool if it's what people are already familiar with. I wish it were otherwise, but I don't see a real alternative that can compensate for these advantages in the short term.

I love your idea of having issues/discussions/etc managed directly in Git—that seems like a more flexible and adaptable system. Even if somebody developed a standard like that, though, it seems impossible to get any of the big repo hosting sites to adopt it since it directly competes with their own value proposition :(.
I guess it helps that I too started computers early. My first being a Commodore 64 and basically every system in between then and now. So, I'm more inclined to let my kids use technology than my parents (who were very welcoming of tech) were. I still force them to go outside and eat dirt, like I had to as a kid (J/k on the dirt bit).
I think "us folks" is more standard than "we folks" but it's no different in meaning.

> Referentially transparent means that you can replace an expression with its value without changing the meaning of the program.

Not quite. A referentially transparent expression (E) is one where you can replace any of its subexpressions (A) with another (B) that has the same meaning (not value!!!!) as (A) without changing the meaning (not value!!!) of E. However, in purely functional languages, the meaning of any expression is a value, but that's the important thing about them, not the fact that they're referentially transparent as imperative languages equally are. We often use the word "semantics" or "denotation" instead of "meaning" in the above, and we say that a pure functional one is one that has "value semantics", i.e. one where the meaning of an expression is a value.

Most programming languages are referentially transparent when not using macros (that was the whole point of talking about referential transparency in programming in the first place), and that's important because it demonstrates both the expressive power and the complexity of macros.

Nah, many of the technical people who knew Hal Finney personally were claiming that the Caltech alumnus did write the original Bitcoin whitepaper not any random guys on the Internet [1].

The talk/conversation appeared to me not as OpenAI future plan but more on the CEO lamenting on how severely limited the company by the GPU or the lack thereof. It just a cheeky ploy by a CEO of an AI company that currently at 30B USD valuation to get more money in order to buy several [fill in the blank] of these most advanced GPU systems [2].

Meh. Another article trying to shame millennials.

The whole batch of millennials won't be graduating to 40, till 2036. Atleast, wait till then.
Externally, it seems this bond could be explained by:

1. Everyone is together, away from distractions, and unable to leave easily for months on end

2. You are working toward shared goals

3. You are friendly toward each other

It's a recipe for a strong bond. Another example of this is famous bands. They're constantly traveling for work, together, trying to write more music and become more famous as they go.

That's not how infection works. You don't clear it up by just stopping exposure. The patients in the article weren't constantly being exposed to lupus for decades. Putting them in a bubble would not have cleared up the infection.

You are making wild guesses from a place of ignorance. If you want to learn more about the science of immunology the resources are out there to learn about it.
I largely agree with you, however Superhot is the closest thing I've experienced to the "can't do it outside VR" games. I did previously play the browser version of the same game, and it was fantastic still, but there's something different about moving around in space like that.

HL:Alyx got close to the "only in VR" sort of mechanics, but change 2-3 big set pieces, and it could very much be done on a 2D screen.
Yeah the lane keeping for sure is bad because even if perfect there is a lot of real word situations where one needs to deviate from the center of the lane.

So unless the vehicle is fully self driving to the level of an alert good driver, it’s going to mess up. And lane keeping is definitely not claiming to be that.

The lane departure warning beep is fine even although its 90% false alerts for me due to non-lane lines or snow etc, and 9% when two lanes merge and I get lazy about the turn signal with no cars around. But if I were to get more tired or something it could be a helpful alert of last resort to stop driving, hope I never wait that long though because that would be dangerous.
The Quest line of headsets support multiple applications open and usable at once. So does every headset that uses a PC.
Hygiene is a problem. These things are not really comfortable, so put one on and you will inevitably start sweating into the facial interface. Safety is another issue; casually putting a headset on a member of the public led to a lot of injuries when it was tried in the past.
Whoa - the microbiome is hugely important for health in multiple ways. Most humans have about the same number of bacteria in their bodies as their own cells (https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11234). I think the consensus is just the opposite as what you're suggesting - that early exposure to more things is beneficial for a healthy immune system.

I suspect that the culprit is much more likely environmental contamination (microplastics, PFAS, etc), which I guess is one thing that you list. But "sterile" is not the solution, and unfortunately we have pretty badly contaminated the whole planet at this point...
Given that time and energy are finite and must be allocated, it makes the most sense to dedicate the most to just one or two activities so that they have the most chance of success (by whatever metric the person sets) than to evenly distribute resources among all of them. That one or two activities could be called the person's "centers".
This is ridiculous, obviously flawed in its efficacy.

My way is way better - just simply look at the entire code base, read every file, make sure nothing phones home, internally criticize the design choices, realize I could have written something way better, start on the project, get halfway done, realize I wasted a lot of time trying to do a stupid project just to save a few keystrokes on a tiny program I almost never use, give up, and finally, realize I didn't want that package anyway.

Clearly. obviously. better.

(There's probably a krazam on this, but /s if anyone needs it)
We don't host the built binaries of these scripts (we could!), but we bootstrap the local environment through a single bash script or batch script (Windows) that pulls down the Zig compiler. Then everything else in the repo depends only on that until we get until client-language specific bits which of course depend on other languages.

But yeah it is quite simple still.
Are you hinting in the "what packages do I update to mitigate CVE #123?" direction?

Or do you hint to something like "How can I mitigate this SQL injection issue in the codebase?"

The former is what my system already does automatically, the latter is something I don't think is solvable in a failsafe manner because it would need a very good Web Application Firewall approach that also knows correlations about the running processes, their opened files and memory dumps (which probably are too performance-cost intensive to be of use in production systems).
Pretty wild that someone has the audacity to claim that $500 is expensive in this case. It's basically a high end tablet with a lot of low-volume custom parts. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd need to charge $1000 with no loss in sales to break even on just the headset's hardware+firmware (never mind the "metaverse" stuff they're dumping money into)
I had quite the opposite experience. We're still friends since we ended our 6 year relationship. She is still the person I trust the most, and no one knows me as well. It requires a lot of honest communication. If one betrays the other, obviously that doesn't help.

Relaitonships are complex and diverse and there are many counter examples to what you describe.
It's important to draw a distinction between generalist AI and AGI. LLMs are generalist in that they perform better than a majority of people already on a huge range of intellectual tasks. To place your bet that we will never reach AGI is bone-headed.

>I think we're not even close to having one.

Why is this the default assumption until proven otherwise? The issue is determining what decisions bring the most expected utility. The default assumption should be downstream from the utility analysis. We don't know whether we're close or far from AGI, but it sure seems like the timelines are a lot shorter than any of us originally thought. We need to prepare society for AGI (or prevent its creation) well before it is realized. Banking on an alarm that will alert us to its imminent creation is looking more and more like wishful thinking. So the course of action that maximizes utility is to assume we're close and prepare for it.

They could have hedged their rates risk with swaps and other instruments. They didn’t do that extremely basic risk management for a bank because they didn’t want to reduce deposit interest payments or reduce profits. They essentially left unhedged a tail risk that was fairly likely (interest rates wouldn’t stay in zero range forever and mean reversion will set in at some point), and predictably it ate their lunch. The confounding factor is they probably assumed rates would rise gradually. The Feds decision to rapidly raise rates without checking rates exposure across the banking and asset management world speaks to gross incompetence. SVB and others were relatively transparent about how poorly they were managing rates risk and even basic due diligence by any of the multitude of regulators for a bank would have revealed their risk exposure to rates and the jeopardy the feds whip saw policy put them in. The fact they didn’t check to see what stress sudden and rapid rate increases would have on banks outside the too big to fail class is unforgivable.

Jerome Powell is a polisci major. That’s a great degree for getting drunk daily and still graduating. He’s not the brightest bulb that has sat in his seat. Yellen at least was a PhD in economics from Yale who was famous for her meticulous attention to detail. Notice when the regional banks blew up the treasury and associated executive functions stepped in and shored up the Feds mess, and the fed just stood there saying “oops!” The fact he was picked by DJT, the Jerome Powell’s primary qualifications (given the cabinet selection process) were likely looking the part and flattering the boss.

Project MF is super cool. I didn't know they were still around and doing stuff, but hey, there are updates on that site from after 2020.

A lot of MF signaling stuff has actually been merged into mainline Asterisk nowadays: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+19+Appli... With some dialplan work, I've used it to set up my own blue-boxable system without any project MF patches at all - which is handy since the site does say the patches only run on very old versions of Asterisk.

As for why it's merged into mainline, you can thank the Phreaknet guys: https://portal.phreaknet.org/ They run a whole network of simulated MF and SF-controlled switches with Asterisk. It's pretty sick.
People have bugs. Lots of them.
Everyone today understands "Nazi". During the WW2 it was almost completely not used. It was reinvented and popularized later in the 1980s. See for example wiki article Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact [0].

It says it was between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

While in the actual Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact[1] there is no mention of any mythical Nazis, even the title says Nichtangriffsvertrag zwischen Deutschland und der Union der Sozialistischen Sowjetrepubliken, 23. August 1939

Not a book, but a nice way to start with the task is to build up a simple JSON parser using recursive descent;

This [1] is a great tutorial to start with. Personally, I followed up with a standards compliant JSON parser of my own, in Python [2], and later ported it into a larger golang codebase. Practically building up multiple JSON parsers taught me to build my own DSL, using recursive descent parsing. My path admittedly is quite non-standard and idiosyncratic, but was way more fun than going through a textbook :)

I've always thought this was the case for writing notes. Notes and notes apps have always been referred to my "Brainlog" or my second brain.

I don't write notes to remember, I write notes so I don't have to.
