Nah.

Prefer the DIY version where I have to put the work in myself.

I can appreciate professionally managed green spaces, and do enjoy them, but they have nothing on the space that I myself get to experiment with.
You will need to define "successful" within the context of your question; only then you will get meaningful answers. Because there are lots of solo entrepreneurs who are successful as per their own definition of success which may or may not match with your definition.
> My company has offices in Europe and I _love_ going to the office over there. Hate it in America. Love it in Europe

I was in US only once for business travel, in large city. Seeing the sea of people during rush hours on the sidewalk and in trains, moving towards dense "downtown" looked like every hollywood movie, in negative way. I like commuting by bicycle in European cities.
Low slides are the best and kind of fun… when wearing a race suit on a race track.
It was most often the case that my racing motorcycle and my protective gear was still in one piece after a low slide. Race tracks typically have a mixture of grass, sand, and rocks that you slide into.

Fortunately I’ve never experienced a high side. Those can be dangerous for a person, as the head or shoulders are the common impact points.
Nice library.

I also like very much to use the floating ui headless component

Oh sorry I didn’t look properly then. I thought it outperformed GPT-3.5 consistently. My bad. Thanks for the correction.
Bitcoin would solve this, if it was actually used (or fit to be used) as intended - people keeping their own wallets and making on-chain transaction.

However, because it is so poorly designed, almost nobody does that, and instead store their crypto in exchanges. Which have all the downsides of banks (they can hold your money hostage) but none of the upsides (security and regulation).
Who determines the oil price ceiling if not some “global board of price regulation”? Is it just magic?
Google's app submission process is increasingly awful. How do you deal with it?
Hey all, we've been publishing apps on Play Store for many years now. The process, when you encounter any hitch, is just god awful now. Two examples: Our latest app version keeps getting rejected without any clarity on what the issue is. There's a generic message that there's a "stability issue". There were very few changes from the previous version. And now, of course, once the automated processes fail, there's the manual process hell that was always a pain, but is worse now. Having the same issue with bank verification. Google keeps appending a branch code to the account number for test deposits. I keep getting what seem like AI-aided customer support messages that ask for the same details over and over again before putting me on to a specialist. Has anyone experienced this? How do you deal with it?
Yes, that’s the crypto use case. Make a ledger a billion times less efficient than an ordinary ledger, so that you can circumvent regulations (until the regulator catches up).
> As I said, and as also your reply shows, you are closer to 1984 than Russia..

Nice work refuting all those points go scurry back into the shadows like the rest of the Russian propagandists when they get challenged.
It can be less mental effort, not necessarily faster.
Sorry but, do you know exactly what trustless means?

This concept applies to custody, not to fiat-to-crypto exchanges. Because a fiat-to-crypto exchange is an on/off ramp into/outside crypto. And as fiat cannot be held in a trustless way, the most "trustless" way to make a swap without the exchange holding the fiat amount is by using an escrow system. If the escrow system can only be moved to party A or party B during a trade-dispute, then it's the most trustless thing you can get, my friend.

PS: Your 2nd link seems to suggest that you're saying "DEXes are better than p2p exchanges!", well, DEXes don't have fiat-to-crypto pairs, only crypto-to-crypto. Nice try.
Reminds me of dash cams which almost all use the same image sensor even if they advertise different levels of image quality.

It's to respond to the remark that people are simping for Apple while in fact, they're just after a good arm-based laptop.
The email password reset feature is an overlooked part of modern security. It has become sort of like a master key for every service. Combined with password reuse it becomes really risky (but oh, so convenient).
If Bernie Madoff had been responsible for the vast majority of dollar trading in the world, then people might make those comments when he was shut down.

How much of crypto is collectively going through FTX, Binance, and Coinbase? If they are really shut down, especially in a way where it's clear their business model will not be tolerated in the USA (so no one will take their place), how much will that pull down on the whole ecosystem?
working social systems instead of neoliberal theocrats with weapons/police/prison-complex.

Cities are walkable by design (most built before there were cars at all) and you can clearly correlate quality/quantity of public transport with quality of live.

More money ends up in regional projects/maintenance of public goods instead of either going into private billionaires pockets (trickle down!!…) and/or military industrial complex.

Specifically China: high coverage of CCTV and effective police forces. Like it or not, but even young women feel save going alone through a big city at night.

Specifically Japan: society is very collectivistic and people go out of their way to not even disturb others. People even carry their trash in their pocket instead of throwing it on the streets.

Specifically Europe: the richer you are, the higher the chances you live close to a city centre, villages/suburbs are for poor people/families/weirdos.
This article makes many glib assumptions about RSS and Hindu nationalism. Most Americans don't understand the RSS, so its quite natural that a rabble-rousing author might pander to their antipathy of the Nazi and conflate the two organizations. However, this assumption cannot be further from the truth. The RSS was build on principles of nationalism and a one India philosophy, as opposed to the divided India "lie" perpetuated by the British rulers. The RSS considers Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians as brothers from another mother, as children of the same soil, as Indians.

Secondly the assumption that RSS is ruling India since 2014 is farcical and ludicrous. It's the BJP which is ruling India, and while they might have roots to the RSS politics and philosophy are two very different things. The BJP is as much aligned to RSS as much as Republicans are aligned to the gun touting midwest in US. And like the republicans the BJP has other constituents and parliamentary constraints before they can enact a law. For eg a law to privatise farmers output was quashed by farmers protest.

BJP has a soft corner for the Hindus who are continually persecuted in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan which is palpable buts whats wrong with that ? Islam is a unipolar religion with no option to cohabit as equal citizen under the same roof.

India continues to have Sharia law and allows 4 marriages per muslim man, while most islamic republic like Turkey and Pakistan have banned the practice since 1960's. Isn't the Government supposed to remove such archaic practice ? Whats wrong with that, yet successive Governments have sidestepped these matters leading to a majority Muslims, remaining poor and living in a tribal format devoid of modern education.

Thus this matter needs to be understood in context of the complexity of India.

Now coming the caste system, again disingenuous remarks are made, as regards to them leaving hinduism and joining Islam. If thats the case then why does India still have a substantial "lower" caste population? Why didn't they convert to Islam ? Perhaps they didn't get the memo despite 700 years of muslim rule in India ? These matters are far more complex than are made out to be by some whippersnappers.

India has to transform its 200 million muslims and 400 million Dalits into a modern forward looking society and some dislocation from their past practice is necessary.

As far as I can tell, biometric authentication is locked to proprietary operating systems. On Linux with a yubikey, for example, it seems like you're not only limited to only 25 sites, but you're also at best going to have a pin, and in many cases the hardware alone may be sufficient to gain access. Sure, you need to know what site the key has been registered with, but I'd bet if you found a random key at a conference you'd have pretty good luck trying it with google and github to start with.

edit: after some digging (which was a lot more involved than it should have been) it seems like the current state is:

There is free software to set and manage a pin for a yubikey on Linux. Firefox historically didn't support yubikeys with a pin, but it seems like that was recently merged. Yubikeys still have a 25 site limit per device, and no sync across devices. As long as sites let you register multiple yubikeys as a backup, and support pins, then it's a reasonable workflow. I'm not convinced it's better than passwords + a yubikey for 2fa, but it seems like in practice it's probably not worse either. It still feels like, even if security is a motivator here, there's a lot of opportunity for Google, Apple, and MS to conveniently and "accidentally" cut free software users out of being able to access a lot of the internet with the move to passkeys, and I remain skeptical.
So what? at the time they payed her nobody knew it will be a huge hit, she was an unknown singer who got a chance to sing a song created by famous and talented creators of her home country. So they payed her a payday salary of a singer. She probably got payed more after that for live performances.

> > It is all about probabilistic guarantees

> So are cryptographic hash functions.

Cryptographic hash functions like MD5, SHA-2, BLAKE2, etc are deterministic functions, so it doesn't really make sense to talk about Pr[h(x)=h(y)]. Either the collide or not.

It's muddied a bit by the fact that cryptographers also use universal hashing (or probabilistic hashing, or what I called algorithmic hashing) for stuff like UMACs, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMAC#NH_and_the_RFC_UMAC , but they often have a lot of extra considerations on top of just collision resistance.

Some algorithms also need stronger probabilistic guarantees than just collision resistance (see e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-independent_hashing#Indepe... ). These properties are usually too hard to test for with an experimental testing suite like SMhasher, but if your hash function don't have them, people will be able to find inputs that break your algorthm.
Wrong grocery store man, how about choose one located in El Salvador.
Let's try something else, because you seem to take it that "brain = physics" is a strong enough argument to believe that all of human creativity is inherently systematic.

The definition of creativity itself should include the ability to subvert a system through abstraction. AI is a system so it cannot subvert itself (or, it hasn't yet). As humans, we subvert systems in mathematics by creating higher dimensional abstraction and shattering previous understanding of the fields. Often, mathematicians achieve this with a "lightening bolt-like realization" that they do not attribute to systematic thinking.

Please reconsider whether systematizability should be so quickly assumed through napkin philosophy. If you want, prove with a topological map of the creative apparatus in the brain that it produces results in a systematic way. That would at least scratch the itch and get the conversation going somewhere interesting.
Things were in steady state. The actual momentary supply and demand shock caused prices to naturally inflate. And when the supply returned they noted that prices didn't go down. Now they were free to test more increases.
You have to gather a lot of information and answer dozens of questions before you start a project. In the planning phase you have to do scoping, make a public notice, consult the local communities, take wildlife, insects, wetlands, native tribes and many more things into account (which require gathering all sorts of data from national databases). There are multiple people inside a National Forest’s office that are working on all this.

Then the other hard part is gathering all this data from all the people in one place and writing documents that will be published or submitted to various government agencies. This process is at the moment manual and extremely time consuming (because it’s basically an email back and forth that can take weeks or months). And that’s only the planning phase.

The app I’m working on tries to automate as much as possible both the data gathering part and the document preparation part, letting multiple people collaborate together to create necessary paperwork. This drastically cuts on the time needed to complete the planning phase and thus lets them do more projects in the same amount of time.

What a thing to say. The occupation and ethnic cleansing of that “strip of land” has produced millions of refugees whose lives have been - and continue to be - upended for decades. I wonder if you were one of the children of these refugee camps — would you say the same?

Strange erratic use of figures.

> Three‐ fourths (75 percent) would oppose government surveillance cameras in homes, including 68 percent who “strongly oppose,” while 10% don’t have an opinion either way.

Three fourths - is that the same as three quarters? 10% - What's that slash with the little circles?

> 3 in 10 (29 percent) Americans under 30

3 in 10 - I would call that 30%, but wait - it's 29%

i heard about this related book recently -- it says we had (at time of publishing i guess, 2017) almost 1,000 US military bases -- semi-officially, at least, but that are probably hundreds or even thousands of semi/secret bases/outposts that are not counted in the offical records (from the Pentagon, etc.).

Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World

American military bases encircle the globe. More than two decades after the end of the Cold War, the United States still stations its troops at nearly a thousand locations in foreign lands. These bases are usually taken for granted or overlooked entirely, a little-noticed part of the Pentagon's vast operations. But in an eye-opening account, Base Nation shows that the worldwide network of bases brings with it a panoply of ills and actually makes the nation less safe in the long run.

guess the author is an anthropology prof at American.

anecdote: pretty wild to think that a US military base in UK influenced or help create the Beatles:

It's really nice to see that C++ implementations in the ML field are growing. Personally I do not like Python very much. C++ does not force you to do things in a specific (Pythonic) way.
Yes. Why wouldn’t I? When I first started working from home after Covid, I had a separate bedroom that was converted to an office and across the hall I had a home gym fully equipped with cardio equipment. I had no distractions from a loud open office and I could block time off for deep work and shut everything down - Slack, Outlook etc.

I said “had” because admittedly now I’m a corner case. My wife and I nomad around the US 7 months a year staying in mostly extended stay hotels and the other 5 months (October-March) we “snowbird” in our home in Florida that’s rented out when we aren’t there to cover the mortgage.
> not being affected by QE in the medium-long term (e.g. put your savings in it and forget about for 4 years[2]

Sure, why care about the possibility that cashing out early might mean you lose half your money? Trust instead in the long long long history of BTC as a stable currency.
But when you say hybrid, does that mean people can go to the office if they want or they're controlled and forced to go at least X days?
With that attitude, probably good for everyone.
Only if your definitions of "easy" and "hard" are based entirely on complexity classes.

If you show me a setup where "easy" is n^3 and "hard" is n^15 I will happily call that a trapdoor function.
Just tried the first prompt with ChatGPT... : "One kilogram of steel and two kilograms of feathers weigh the same. The weight of an object is determined by its mass, not the material it is made of. In this case, one kilogram is equal to two kilograms, so they have the same weight. However, it's important to note that the volume or size of the objects may be different due to the difference in density between steel and feathers."
Okay...
The average civilian will harp on about OpenAI collecting their data but will never give two thoughts that their own elected officials are tracking everything they do on the internet.

I ponder on this often.
Bad—depends a lot on the circumstances.

Regular tax paying people who want to alter their mind; ok.

But also customers who break the law in order to pay for drugs.

And when and where is it okay to deal? Personally I would not want drug addicts frequenting any place where I am trying to live.

Then what about the product they sell: supplied by violent cartels? No thanks.

Designer drugs laced with who knows what manufactured in an overseas lab? Again no.

It seems so, indeed. You are closer to the ground and slide on the road rather than hitting something with your head or shoulders. I often complained to myself with "who put the rocks there right beside the track?" when I was little and watched the sport. In my mind, the racers got hurt by those stones when they fell off their bikes.
Except that you can't take his place.
I’ll guess that anything other than a small cruiser is going to be some combination of higher center of gravity + more weight, which just gets harder and harder to learn farther (accurately) at very low speeds.
Thanks heaps for the details.

It is difficult to write a good blog post, and the extra detail is interesting.
Micropayments have been around since the 90’s, and never taken off. At any rate, a centralised version would likely be cheaper, more efficient, easier to use, with more functionality and better customer service.
incredible. As a non native speaker, I always want to improve my speaking skills. And I also thought of building something using AI. But you have nailed it. Kudos.
> The story that solidified is: Use Boring Technology. Use [...] Ruby [...]

Sorry, but this whole section is bollocks. I've never heard anyone call Ruby boring, and I've had one too many methods monkey-patched in from halfway across the universe to ever call Ruby "boring". Basically no-one seems to use Ruby for new Serious™ Programming™ Projects™ anymore.
I also enjoyed the sound that the HDD made when something was happening. So even if the computer froze, the sound gave me a bit of hope. If there was no sound from the HDD and the computer froze, I just restarted the computer, abandon all hope.
You were repeatedly warned about not expanding NATO to the west, violating promises made to Gorbachev. And you never really ceased to speak of Russia as an "enemy" whereas the Russian government insisted until february 2022 to call you "our western partners".

You are disingeneous and hypocrite, or ignorant.

But isn't it still the most succesful application of VR?

I don't see another application of VR / AR that will prevent the device eventually gathering dust once novelty has faded. Certainly nothing in the presentation from Apple.
In my experience about a quarter of the younger generation give the wrong answer to long text based questions.
The question stated was:

"Would you favor or oppose the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity?"

Very bad question, especially if your possible answers are
[Yes] and [No].
What is a household? Just the entrance?
Also, doesn't llama.cpp use ggml.cpp ?

Or at least has parts of that project copy pasted into its tree?
Or they have no idea what matters so use something easy to measure as a proxy.
Yeah I'll see how it goes. Tbh at the moment I expect those bottom end devs are worse than just using chatgpt directly. I'll probably have to spend more time explaining to them what I want.

Once IDE plugins can scan the majority of a codebase it'll be easier to just write a bulleted set of requirements and let it get on with it.

But anyway I was talking to a friend who's hired some great Ukrainians quite cheaply and I hear there are some good devs in the Philippines.
