btrfs was merged in Linux in a very different state than bcachefs is now; bcachefs already has about ten years of development behind it, whereas btrfs "only" had two years of development behind it when it was merged. It would almost certainly not be merged today.

I'm not saying you should switch all your critical systems to bcachefs on the day it gets merged as you can never be sure about the absence of bugs (even the relatively simple ext4 had some data-eating bug a few years after introduction), but the path to "recommended filesystem" will be a lot shorter than btrfs.

At this point, I would already feel comfterable running bcachefs on my laptop – the only reason I don't is that I just can't be bothered running a custom kernel for it.
Ah, a post about my "Book of Doom" :)

There are plenty of good ideas already, I will add mine.

My wife will be devastated when I die and she is not the kind of "business oriented" person. So I rely on my best friend to help her, as well on my children who will then be young adults (even if it happens tomorrow). My friend has access to basically everything I own and he could make terrible things, but I could trust him with my life - I think it is rare to have someone you can completely trust (even though he lives 1200 km away).

I use Bitwarden to keep all my passwords and secure notes. Most of the passwords are in the "family" section so everyone has access no matter if I am alive or not. Since this is a self-hosted system, I need to dump the passwords from time to time and print this out, just in case. I need to do this today :)

My friend above called me one day to say "hey, I cannot get to your bank account". To what I said "WTF dude??". To what he said that he is doing a DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan) test and one of the passwords changed.... So: test your stuff.

I automated a lot of things at home, they usually work 70% of the time :) I realize that there is no way someone can maintain this after my death so I added a "how to dumb down the house" section that describes what can be removed.

I am still investigating the email part. I currently use my own domains and Google Workspace (grandfathered). I think I will be better off switching to fastmail so that what remains of my family can have a single point of contact. I also need to find a way to manage the domains.

Money: my wife is not very good with it so I did a very rough excel sheet to show her how much she can spend to comfortably live her life going on. This is more in the "recomforting" section but this will probably help.

I specifically did not put any nostalgia-inducing elements because this is not the right place for that - she need to be able to read it like a tax report.

One word about the death itself. I am a (fervent :)) atheist and never wondered too much about death but, like everyone, this was not my favorite philosophical topic :) Then I had an operation that required a total anesthesia. This is when I stopped worrying about death - the kind of "switch off" you experience then was eye opening.

Great no nonsense article!

I'm surprised how bad xeon scales to 8 cores. But isn't the xeon instance the only one not running bare metal?? Maybe he is paying for 8 cores but gets only 2-4 physical cores?
It is a tax on trade. It hurts both the seller and the buyer. Changing the label does absolutely nothing.
My company certainly does. We use signiant to shift large files around, api is bound on a non routed network segment client certificate proxy to reach it.

Which is what makes it even more annoying when someone decides “oh I can save a few bob by giving our employees private information to the lowest bidder as the cost won’t fall on my departments budget”

My wife is possibly about to be forced to throw away a $8k pair of hearing aids because after 6 years they are no longer supported by the manufacturer's software for hearing care professionals so it's likely she won't be able to get them readjusted.
Also, keep a copy of everything with a trusted lawyer who can execute your will (if you are on this forum, you can mostly likely afford one). Hardware and software can fail, don’t put all your faith in automated systems.

I think stress is the clear negative factor.

I can easily work my day job, go to the gym and give it my best, and then come back home and fire up my own project if I’m generally feeling happy.

If I’m stressed it can lead to some other mental health issues and then even my day job is effected.

I think anyone can do this if they were allowed to structure their work the way they want and work on the things they want to. Then we’d all be Carmacks in our chosen field. But we aren’t all so lucky.
Key passage: The activist playbook here was simple: get the Diaz and Bailey paper retracted over a technicality, then spin the retraction as an invalidation of the study’s main findings.

To elaborate on the full absurdity of that technicality: Springer chose to disregard the spirit of the consent requirement. Consent for the publication of anonymized data on a public website, it alleged, does not equate to consent for that data’s publication in a scholarly peer-reviewed article.

That aside, I'm still wondering what you are on about. The "internal logic" of something like a 7400 is fully defined by the transistors, so to understand that, you have to understand how transistors work. Luckily, we are not dealing with analogue computers, but digital/binary ones, so things can be simplified to on/off. Transistors are something like switchable resistors, ideally between zero resistance ("on") and infinite one ("off"). This state is controlled by the "base" (BJT) or "gate" (FET). Which means if this base/gate has a defined state, the output will have a defined state, and that is where the specifics of the respective 74XX chip are important -> chip manual will give all the required details. But as such there is no "start-up procedure" or anything with these things as long as they have no internal state, and NAND gates don't have that. Once we talk about flip-flops, latches, registers, and similar things, then we have state, and usually also some way to reset that state. 8 bit CPUs all come with a reset line for some reason, or handle this automatically as part of their power-up.

And that is where these "we build stuff from 74XX chips to a 8 bit CPU" video series come in, because they show all the CPU components, their wiring, and potentially also give access to a full schematic so you can follow the traces and see + understand what happens as part of the power-up.

How to Survive on Mars – Mitsi Studio
Great article, thanks for sharing!

We're using Hetzners new ARM servers ourselves, to convert images to WebP (Yes, your company name is really confusing!) and they perform almost as good as the Hetzner AMD instances.

But since they're so much cheaper, we can easily fire up many of them and use a load-balancer in front, saving a ton of money compared to dedicated servers.

>Exercising to lose weight is a myth and this is well known in all circles relating to fitness, sport, etc.

I cycle I lose weight...and I also eat more.
The real myth is that what suits me suits others - it mostly doesn't.

Yes! We are all individuals!
I respectfully disagree with the latter part (as for the former, you’re obviously free to like or dislike anything :)). I think we should each play to our strengths - and this is especially true in marketing. If this is what ends up grabbing someone’s eye where they would have otherwise ignored it, then good for the author. It’s unusual to launch a startup at that age, and therefore (in my view) interesting and merits discussion.
Recurring Revenue: Engineers
Hi,
Am I the only engineer that is looking to build a recurring revenue stream from building out tech solutions for real business problems?
The core problem for engineers:
- I don't have 8 hours a day to build
- I am happy to take 4 years to build an income stream that can replace my job
- Business development during day hours is rough
- One and done deals means you spend more time on sales than on delivering value.

GPT's might be able to help with getting the sales pipeline built.

I am keen to talk to people who have problems that are in the $2000 range, but can't commit day one to paying $2000 but rather are happy to pay $200 for 12 months to get a hosted solution.

On the otherside, engineers, happy with this type of setup? Get a well written problem statement, a clear price and freedom to build? Get a "Rec_Rev" stream setup, its not a huge at first, but builds up over time as you have more tools/solutions deployed.

Business owners take a look here: https://defiant-bone-dca.notion.site/Rec_Rev-5a430a4243834513b7266c05d23904ca?pvs=4

Let's chat!
Not necessarily. I think if the only way to make your business work is to start off by manipulating your customers, that's a problem. I would suggest one possible alternative is to target sellers and give them the tools they need to easily list their home and promote that listing off the platform. If sellers can see the value add, it shouldn't matter so much that there's no existing listings in their area.
Obsidian plus various plugins would be my recommendation.
Btw, information is the removal of uncertainty. If it does not remove uncertainty, it is not information.

You can see how these simple truths interrelate.
Is there someway to do a controlled double-blind study that I just can’t imagine? Because I can definitely imagine other causes in the studies described in that article.
It’s pretty simple: I can probably squeeze out any number of hours if I’m thrilled by the work. But few or no employers are going to manage to motivate me to do it because as Carmack says “my goals don’t align with my employer’s” or perhaps better put: my employer’s motivation doesn’t align with my motivation.

So yes I’d be as effective with a 30 hour week as a 40 for most jobs. And I totally agree with Carmack: it’s *mostly* a motivational issue. But perhaps that’s a sign I we should just hire more people, pay them 75% to work 30 hour weeks.

I use an iPhone. I tried switching to Android 3 times over the years since the first iPhone came out. Same plan, same provider, grandfathered in, same house, same spot. Each Android phone did not get the same level of cell service in my house as the iPhone. I have side gigs I do contract work for, and I have had cases of missing calls where the Androids have cost me $100's of dollars; the phone didn't ring... just a voicemail notification showing up hours later.

After the 3rd attempt, the last being a Nexus 5, I gave up. I draw a line when a device messes with my income, regardless of my ideological stance on open source and not having a Windows device or even an Apple laptop in the house for the last 15 years. I'm hitting 40 this year, and switching doesn't have the appeal it once did, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort at this point.

To answer the question, yes we do try, and some of even want to. In my case it just wasn't in the cards
My experience:

1.Taking PED's is amazing.

2.Permanently shutting off your own test production is complete nonsense.

3.PCT did nothing for me. When you come off expect to feel low. Bridge with HGH.

4.Arimidex etc. is not always necessary. I never bothered and had no problems.

5.Microdosing is complete bollocks.

5.Be sensible. Unless you are going for peak athletic performance look for other ways to increase your testosterone levels etc.

6.Start slowly and build up your dose and the compounds as you require.

7.Tren is the absolute last thing to try.

8.There is no magic bullet. Results take work and dedication.

Questions? Details? Disagree? Comment..
What I am thinking of putting together is:
1. A good system prompt for a "product owner" who can really deeply care about the problem you are facing.
2. A second system prompt to write a product spec for the solution.
3. I'll be the first engineer on the platform, happy to build starting at $100 a month
4. Clients happy, engineers happy :-D

"... sellers savings are between $22,000 and $60,000"

This must be talking about multi-million dollar properties? 60k is a deposit for most home purchases! And if you're talking about million+ dollar homes then don't waste your time, those people won't just sign up to a site and put their properties up themselves. Just by giving it to the right estate agent will give them tens of thousands over a price that you could potentially get from individuals browsing a site for buying.

Sorry but this a waste of time.
What's an example of a business problem that's worth $2,000 to solve but where people only want to pay $200/12 months? Most of the ones in this range feel like they're handled by low-code/no-code tooling.

>The thing that always struck me most about that passage is the determination to fulfill the lust even after being struck blind and being undeterred and persisting in groping for doorknobs and looking for a way in to Lot's home. If that's an accurate representation I can't imagine how anything other than getting my eyesight back or figuring out what happened to it would not be one's top priority in that moment. It may be a figurative use of the word blind though, like a mirage, or some other confusion ploy, or a mental fog to obscure the entrance somehow.

Maybe you could look at it under the optics that modern people think their freedom to say "merry christmas" is under attack. Why not think that even if it's totally absurd, people would be morally outraged and believe that people would ignore their blindess overtaken by lust and the wish to rape.
The efficacy of neural networks really boil down to the efficacy of linear operations, which in turn – I suspect – are efficacious because all smooth functions are linear when you look closely enough.

That might help with the intuition for why neural networks seem to represent such a fundamentally useful operation. I'm the wrong person to speculate about the future.

But again, Logseq is by far the closest to my style of taking notes (short, usually one/few lines blocks)

I agree, low-code tools are excellent to get these types of problems solves (CRUD apps for internal maybe?)

What I have in mind is:
- a forecasting tool (bit more insight into what is being done in the business, not just plain vanilla)
- Optimization tools: inventory, routing, sales, risk distributions etc.
- IoT integration for a small realworld tracking setup
- Specific business rules that need to be implemented in a Low-code tool
- Low code implementations (not everyone has the time, skill-set to get going with these providers)

Thank you very much for the feedback jxf!
I'll spam my comment on the recent, latest repost of "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36285097 here, because it's relevant and because someone ( https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=shanusmagnus ) posted a sociocracy link ( https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy/ ) in response to this my comment:

> This is really a good essay and surely deserves a high profile, but it's disappointing that it, and some bits of angst about Valve's internal situation, seem to be the only discussions of organisational structure that get widely shared these days. Back from about the '70s to the early '90s it seems that there was quite a lot of management-theory/theory-of-the-firm research into different organisational structures and how they affected innovation, ability to change and other desirable or undesirable characteristics of organisations. And it didn't just stay hidden in academia, as the results got a fair amount of coverage in newsmagazines and the like in the early '90s. (Which is how I heard about it: I'm no expert.) As you might expect, the findings on relatively "structureless" orgs seem to have been pretty compatible with Freeman's observations. But there was also research on many other unusual forms of structure and hierarchy, for example the "matrix management" which famously got implemented at Dow Chemical in the 1970s https://hbr.org/1978/05/problems-of-matrix-organizations .

> But for some reason interest and attention seems to have completely faded out, at least at the popular level, by about 2000 or so. So the Valve situation gets reported on as if it's some kind of unprecedented novelty, and not an example of a sort of situation whose outcomes had been hashed out pretty thoroughly a decade or more earlier.

When talking about a business doing business, the concept of "evil" is non-sensical.

A business will do everything to stay profitable. That is the purpose of a business.

Any alternative to Reddit that gain some popularity is doomed to meet the same problems of scalability, infrastructure costs, and content moderation. Those things are not free, they cost money, therefore will be run by a business, doing business, trying to stay profitable, and will become "user hostile" once it is not profitable anymore.

This is the fate of any successful centralized social network.

Clicking through Reddit seems to burn the same mental energy needed to program. So you can't program for 6 hours, Reddit for an hour, then program like you're fresh again. If you sit outside and gaze at the clouds & trees for an hour instead, your programming neurons will be rested and ready to fire again for a few more hours.

YMMV I guess, but I'd be surprised if anyone's programming neurons are replenished by memes. Maybe by a nice movie.

Mental faculties are like muscle in that they get tired and need rest. A difference is that it's easy to sense how tired muscles are and hard to sense how tired the mind is.
