Microsoft is not my favorite company, but one thing that has stood out to me is that they really value backwards compatibility in general.

I see Microsoft bending over backwards to support old third party apps that rely on API bugs or ancient versions of windows. On the Apple side, I see 32-bit apps being cut off, Pages not supporting old versions of Pages files, etc. To me this reads as not caring much about backwards compatibility.

There are a few factor's that decide what to use. Location, price and reputation. When filling up our ICE car, I drive to Costco gas and pass quite a few stations on the way to do it. In a pinch, will I use another brand, sure. Am I in a pinch often enough to make it worth it for EVGo, or EA, to install the tesla connector? That's their choice. I have an adapter, and I don't use their chargers. Never needed it. The only time I've tested it to see how it works at EVGo, EA and Charepoint. I have all of the apps setup. I had issues at every single charger with it either not starting, or stopping after a few minutes.
It's one of those early car purchase decisions I wish I didn't make and am glad to have never needed.

OpenMW is one of my favorite open source projects. The upcoming 0.48 apparently fixes the Lady birthsign bug. Someone must have bit the bullet and reworked the magic effect system. Thanks guys!
It is not possible to systemize the founding and funding of startups based on disruptive innovations. This can only work from human insight and there will never be explicit demand signals for innovations that don't exist yet. And there's nothing sad about it. It's totally fine for some companies to fail and investors to lose money.
There is a cool site with mod lists that are confirmed to be compatible with OpenMW. I'm currently running 'I heart vanilla' which is basically the vanilla game with extra content and some balance and bug fixes. Highly recommend checking it out.

No, although there were certainly co-located or nearby individuals and teams that contributed specific chunks--certainly parts that were hardware or depended on hardware.
PowerBook G3 had expansion ports, too. Maybe it was the 1-inch thick titanium powerbook g4 that changed the game.
Great points, but yes there really is “no money.”

LPs are the real decision-makers on capital allocation and almost all of them are pension funds. Pension funds have almost zero chance of staying solvent unless they can drive above market returns.

Right now that can be done on interest rates alone.

Zero interest rates meant they had to deploy capital, so many VCs were able to raise.

But most VCs will never get a chance to raise another fund.

Like you pointed out: don’t be fooled by all the info out there about how VCs’ think. Watch what they do.

Like everyone, when it’s not clear how to deliver an expected outcome they flock to “what everyone else is doing.”

Today that’s generative AI. It’s a lottery, a few VCs will get lucky.

But the volume of future capital available to raise has collapsed & there’s no indication it will recover.

Worse, incumbents have captured almost all the advantage of AI’s current capabilities.

So VCs are going to return to funding startups in their social network, for the “hot topic” they must have an allocation in to stay relevant, and put all their eggs in the safest (perceived) basket.

Most will be out of a job as soon when the money runs out.

I post on a handful of niche reddits (science/tech, not porn, like the average redditor), and the user experience is abysmal. Besides the upvoting/downvoting nonsense and imperious mods, half the time my posts get caught in the spam filter (despite my account being 5+ years old), and I have to check incognito mode to see if they showed up, and message the mods.

At the very least, it's nice to know that rather than a lukewarm welcome, any would-be Eternal Septemberists will be met with "kys leddit spacing, phoneposting, ******" should they try 4chan as an alternative.
How much money is spent is ultimately how much money needs to be collected in taxes in one form or another. There is no way to reduce taxes on X without eliminating some spending or increasing taxes elsewhere. Perhaps you’re fine eliminating GPS to reduce your taxes, but in general people don’t want to shut that down etc.

In the end it’s not a question of obeying the rules it’s a question of individuals or companies writing those rules to favor themselves and others objecting to those rules.
Sunak needs this very much. Brexit put up a lot of economic barriers around the UK.

The US is sort of a weird place to go looking, since we're already pretty closely tied to the UK. A lot of this agreement is very long-term stuff, but not really helping the UK create new markets.

It gives Sunak something positive to say, and at least some of the points can be genuinely helpful. But I don't think it's going to save him from the fact that his party is taking a lot of heat for everything that's hard about Brexit, and they will likely fare badly in the next election.
Running Garuda Lite a Lenovo 14w and its a dream. It handles 4K remarkably well and equally impressed when watching OTA TV using kaffiene + hauppage 950q dongle. Battery life is great too. Usual apps open are alacritty (3 windows),librewolf (5 tabs max),kaffiene (for watching tv on the side) and never get the sense of it struggling.

Hats off and gratitude to the Garuda Team.
The game was fantastic. Buggy, awkward, sometimes barely functional - and yet it conjured a cohesive world in a way that every successive generation of TES game has managed less and less well for me.

The lore- and world-building, circa Morrowind, was top notch.

Well sure - this is just fairly conventional international relations theory. Trying to apply systems thinking to the question of ‘why conflict’ is basically the entire academic discipline of international politics and strategic studies.

This particular take is basically a standard neorealist perspective on how to explain the impact of globalization in reducing conflict. Basically allowing that trade changes the playing field, without allowing that states might be anything other than selfish entities, or that there might be any relevant entities to consider in international affairs (like nonstate actors, cultural power, etc). Other schools of IR theory take different perspectives, but neorealism is basically the foundational view of western foreign policy.

Reddit’s value these days is as a super-forum. Instead of needing five logins and five accounts for separate hobbies, you can have one login, one account, and if you occasionally want to comment or ask questions about something else, you can do so without having to create another account. Doesn’t hurt that Reddit has a very good network effect.
Honestly another thing I didn't like about this peace was the "Russian army is weak so maybe lots of other armies are weak" idea. That's the last thing we need the chickenhawks running DC to believe
Other periods of peace have shown up in history when one empire is the undisputed hegemon of the known world. The pax brittanica is another example, as are several periods in Chinese history.

We are living in the pax Americana right now, but it is unclear how long that will last.
Yeah, that's why I could never get into Skyrim even when playing it after I beat Morrowind a few years ago on OpenMW. It's cliche criticism, but it felt like a generic medieval setting. The generic dragon opener of an otherwise interesting hook also crystalizes the feeling.

It just can't compete with Morrowind's giant mushrooms and random people calling me a filthy N'wah.

They can. Results change as you change your models, and results aren't always strictly better or worse, which is why testing gold-standard results with any prompt and model changes is so important for applications utilizing LLMs.
I think it's a case of different platforms for different purposes.

I am still in some tight-knit communities on Twitter, rarely engaging outside of my followers and followees, despite Twitters attempts to drag me into other things.

I still occasionally read here, and even more occasionally post here.

I use an RSS reader and home-grown interactive bookmark/feed system for blogs and websites.

I spend most of my on-line time in my Mastodon instance, continuing to build and tend the community there.

So different platforms, different ways to engage, different communities.
Google Search erroneously showing safe air quality in areas with low air quality
A search for

durham nc air quality forecast

yields a "featured snippet" from accuweather, saying (in its entirety):

"The air quality is ideal for most individuals; enjoy your normal outdoor activities."

Presumably this is cached; actually clicking into Accuweather shows that the air quality is Unhealthy at 111 right now.

Posting here in case someone has a switch to turn off the featured snippets for air quality searches (with different search terms, there seems to be great tooling with Google Maps).

> Certainly, I would not want my records in the newspaper - but really what's the worst outcome? Everybody finds out just how much ED medication I take?

No. The worst outcome is the police arresting a random civilian because their medical record showed they were actually a fully transitioned person living as their identified gender (and thus the only way they would know is through trawling through medical records) and are therefore in violation of, say, a bathroom law. Or a law banning "crossdressing" or other shit.

It's teenagers and young women being sent to prison because there's a medical record where they were treated for excessive bleeding which lost a pregnancy, and are put in jail until their trial for abortion is up because they're too poor for bail.

It's buying up the medical data of jewish people to "prove" they're really harvesting the blood of Christian children.

You are vastly overestimating how much the average US citizen thinks about the military at all, except in the vaguest ways related to social signaling about their class.

We basically have a caste system for the military, so outside certain geographic regions and economic classes, military stuff happens [gestures vaguely] over there. People will posture about it, but nah, nobody will actually cut spending, as the military-industrial complex is everywhere, and “cutting military spending” actually becomes “we can’t shut down that base or stop making that engine part, because jobs”.

What will actually happen is superficial cuts to programs that don’t contribute meaningfully to the debt, but are nice culture war targets. Past that, we’ll engage in some gross race and class cuts to Medicaid. But we are not going to cut military spending, because, again, it’s a jobs program that’s protected by a vague sense of patriotic duty.
On the Front Range, where most people live in Colorado (~Denver + north and south 60 miles), the air quality can actually get pretty bad due to inversion, and this has been noted since pre-statehood. We also are lucky enough to get a lot of wild fire smoke from California, Canada, the PNW, as well as our own home sourced wildfires. Maybe 2 years ago it felt like the whole summer was smoky, and we had stretches where the AQI was 500+ here in Boulder.

> Just because it exists doesn't mean it necessarily has the universal value to be archived. Others will disagree, and perhaps most will

Most specifically, Archive Team disagrees with this, as they'll aggressively will go ahead and archive the internet, even if the hosters of said content don't want the content to be archived.

Figuring out what's worth keeping around is a lot easier to do after you've archived it, rather than before.

> especially for an organization like the Archive Team who could be spending that time and effort to fight for their own existence

The Archive Team's goal is to archive content of the internet that others won't archive. It's the explicit and only goal of the organization.

That's basically fight for their own existence, without the goal of archiving, Archive Team wouldn't exists.

And there is nothing that is working against their existence, are you maybe confusing them for Internet Archive which is under a bit of legal fire right now? Because they're separate organizations.
>I suspect that remote work success is highly influenced by an equation involving how good your manager is

> The limitations of the old style encyclopedia are immediately obvious when you go to actually use it. Thousands of articles that only barely scratch the surface on the topic.

This is a feature not a bug: encyclopedia articles are breadth-first introductions to topics. If you are just mildly curious about something you'll probably get what you need. If you want to know more you'll have a view of the "landscape" and so will probably understand a more specialized book better -- and even be better at finding the right specialized book in the library.
This is LLMs destroying the web we used to know.

The Olympics falls right in the time period were Parisians flee Paris for summer vacations elsewhere, so it's perfectly timed for a lot of people to rent out their place.

Really cool! Fun fact - the apple watch was designed based on inspiration from a mechanical watch brand, ikepod. Jonathan Ive recruited Marc Newsom who created ikepod(with another watch maker) and Newsom took alot of the design elements from ikepod watches to come up with the apple watches unique look. So I guess its going full circle again.

I think that Globalization has increased the costs of war. You don't want to attack your suppliers. I also think that China is probably a paper tiger on offense but they are trying not to look like an easy target on defense. Most of their recent battles have been fist fights in the Himalayas.

Deglobalization is an attempt to make war feasible because some strong countries feel like they are losing economic war and want to fall back on real war.
