I don't think it makes sense to expect XMPP to "make an impact" ever, if by that you mean "to spontaneously become the next dominant network" (or it already is, under the guise of WhatsApp, bar the federated aspect). The forces in presence are too uneven and the modern internet is too consolidated to permit that to happen (even google cannot dislodge WhatsApp/Messenger).

IMO, what does matter for XMPP's future is that it remains appealing to a growing niche of users who want to be in control, for whom self/local-hosting is important (XMPP excels at that), who care about privacy (OMEMO is state of the art, and XMPP offers gentler alternatives where PFS isn't desired), and who understand the benefits of federation for resilience. This niche will grow naturally as more and more people get deceived by every monopolistic network being doomed to grow beyond a threshold of sustainability and implode as a result. By that time, it only matters that there are enough sufficiently well maintained and user-friendly clients on all platforms for those "super-users" to embark their peers (which is currently largely the case).

This is how I ended-up here, in fact. I refused to join WhatsApp because I was tired of previous forced migrations from protocols I thought were "too big to fail" (MSN, Skype, …), WhatsApp was already banned in some of the countries I was travelling to for work, and I so, after a failed errand with Matrix, I rediscovered XMPP 10 years after I had my first account on it. Today I have about a hundred contacts there, and the less tech-literate of my peers notice no practical difference in usability or features compared to something like WhatsApp: it just works.

In the initial installment of this series, I employed Langchain and OpenAI’s function calling to construct an AI-powered financial analyst. This system, when provided with a company name, scrutinizes the recent news concerning the company, its balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, and investment ratios to provide a comprehensive recommendation on whether to purchase the company’s stock.
You have 10 months in your life a year dedicated to learning. Please dedicate the remaining two to something else. You would benefit the most from going hiking, tours, programs, camping, parties, concerts,movie nights, you name it - and meet a lot of other people. There is no aim - but if you are lucky, accidental regular meetings will bring you life long friends and memories.
Exactly right. TrueNAS is designed to work as an appliance, rather than an infinitely tunable "Unix variant with ZFS preinstalled."
Yes, I would prefer that. Give a year of notice then turn off the service. I can choose where to send my business next.

And I am, I'm moving to Cloudflare. It's a superior service anyway and they support my TLDs. I never bothered moving before simply due to the minor effort involved.

> I feel like this is one of the things that Gergely has sensationalized recently to drive attention.

It's important to remember that Gergely is in the business of clicks and views. While I've enjoyed some of his reporting, it's very clear that he's optimizing his reporting based on what gets engagement. On places like Twitter, sensationalizing topics and riding waves of outrage is a cheap way to drive engagement.

This material plays well to certain subsets of Twitter, HN, Reddit, and other social media sites where people thrive on sensationalism and outrage. His previous thread about leaving Google Cloud because it might be abandoned at any minute (lol) was sensationalist enough that even the usual outlets were starting to call him out on it, but I'm afraid the engagement may have only incentivized returning to the well for another dip into the "Google Bad" outrage pool.

This isn't the only Substack author I've followed who veered into audience capture like this. There's something about the ultra-tight feedback loop where authors/influencers can see the real-time engagement with their topics and continue pressing whatever button drives the most engagement.
That sounds like a distinction without a difference to me.

Right. Being common doesn't mean it isn't problematic, though. This is one of the reasons to minimize the amount of data you reveal to any company.

i haven't come across a single language that would limit me in how i structure my code. that is, i didn't feel limited. whether it was python, ruby, smalltalk or even lisp. heck, once i translated a program from pike to common lisp. the structure of both programs was identical despite everyone claiming that lisp is so much different. it can be, but it doesn't force you to be.

>Maybe people are more afraid these days to pursue romantic relationships with people they meet at work due to fear of the consequences that have been smeared all over the media in recent years. I think this is a shame. I'm happily married but I've worked in a few jobs before where I've really clicked with someone, and the thought did pass through my mind that if we were both single, maybe there could be something there. And I wouldn't be surprised if the same thought occurred to them. I have no idea how, in that situation, I would have gone about it though

Anti-sexual harassment training, and more broadly the discouraging of socialization between men and women as bushbaba mentioned, has definitely reduced the opportunity for men and women to marry. The flip side of the male executive no longer being able to chase his secretary around a desk to try to pinch her on the butt is another executive not being able to politely court the secretary he is in love with (and vice versa).

I don't have a good answer for how to get the one without the other, but both are consequences of modern sensibilities.

> Also, who cares if they did lie

They didn't just lie, they tampered with collected data used for scientific research, harming their co-authors' work and reputation and giving fake leads to their field of study, thus wasting their peers' time spent on reproducing the case. It may also have had an effect on promotions that their peers should have gotten and on the way people got managed, based on these behavioral studies.

Yes, I find frequently it's hard to know exactly what people are linking me to. Usually it's to some arbitrary view in a file.

So the solution is to put more material in your toe area, taking up more space inside the shoe? That doesn't make any sense. Socks don't really push your toes together, your shoe does, and more sock just means pushing your toes harder against the shoe (and each other).

Once Vision dropped it was clear to me that ARkit was always meant to be used with this device, and that most of the iPhone/iPad apps that use it are not the final intended use case. I don't think you can judge Apple's AR success based on the existing hardware.

Funny, I just encountered the same experience.

I cancelled Prime after 12 continuous years of subscribing. I placed my first Amazon order a few days ago sans-Prime and was amazed at the blatant dark patterns put in place to get me to sign up again. When I finally got to the checkout page, I had to manually change the shipping for each item from $5.99 standard shipping to free shipping (because I hit the $25 threshold).

A few hours later, I get a solicitation for Amazon Music (not sure if I would have gotten this if I was a Prime subscriber).

Then the next day I got an email saying "Your package is arriving earlier than we previously expected"... the same as Prime 2-day shipping. Maybe it's logistically easier to just ship 2-day instead of holding on to inventory?

I thought cancelling Prime would have been difficult (especially with Prime only discounts at Whole Foods), but finding alternatives to Amazon and Whole Foods has been easy. I guess it's no wonder Amazon tries to push it so hard because it's relatively easy to live without.

Using a human host was just an example to show there are certainly real possible applications whe magnitudes of these units is useful. DNA-based data storage doesn't necessarily mean humane genome data - you can store any data (1) in a DNA strand and the strands in a container could all be unique datasets. Possible, albeit not yet practical - but to discuss the realm of the possible you still need appropriate units, and TB/ns seems to be appropriate for such an application.

Big toes poking inwards is a huge issue. It’s a awful terrible design that makes no sense.

Also people don’t get shoes that fit well because they don’t know shoes that fit well exist because they barely exist.

Altra and Topo make some shoes that fit okay but still are only going to fit certain small segments of the population.

Altra’s size wide also is the common wide = more volume but not actually wider ridiculousness. People don’t buy shoes that fit because they don’t know they exist nor do they realize their shoes don’t actually fit. But even if they did realize both things, most people would not have access to the few modes that fit better.

I should probably give KSP a try again. I guess there's an initial threshold I got to power through first, as I got a bit exhausted after the first mission hehe.

I'm actually working now on a game of my own, with themes of science, and it's indeed a game-first approach rather than an educational game, but I do hope to maybe inspire some ideas and motivation with at least a few players.

I totally believe there's a lot of untapped potential in this area, and advancing towards cracking learning motivation + capabilities could have a huge impact.
Googler, opinions are my own.

I will say, I'm super frustrated by the Domains sale as well. I also work on Payments, and can at least give some insight here. The amount of data given to a payment processor definitely differs by country and form-of-payment. But one big difference is that a full billing profile tends to have lots more data than just what is required to process a payment. Many payments (like credit cards), just need a payment description, name, address, and the card details. But this doesn't always include stuff like email address, IP address, phone #, etc. So the card processor will get the minimum info required to process the payment. There are also agreements in place with what these processors can do with this PII data.

I'll definitely be interested to see what Google does regarding data transferred to SquareSpace. It's unclear right now what kind of restrictions will be placed on any data (if any) that is shared with SquareSpace.
If someone can crack the VR/AR code, it will probably be Apple. Not saying they will though.

It bodes well that Kara Swisher seems to really like the device and she's one that has tried all the headsets and been fairly skeptical. Using hands as the primary control seems like a pretty big breakthrough. The default of mostly pass through of the surrounding environment sounds like it also addresses the nausea.

You're right at this price point it's definitely a gen 1/dev device. Gen 3 is where it'll likely get interesting, assuming some killer applications are created.

The need to express polymorphism manually in C, the need to remember to check errors returned by functions (instead of the monadic style of computation), the need to define closure's environment structures (those that are passed via something like `void *arg`), etc.

All these things are pretty tedious. And all these things are what other languages are doing under the hood. The difference is that C gives you a choice of _how_ to do (more) things; other languages do not.
With recent integration of Copilot Chat in vscode, I’m less inclined to use Neovim or any terminal based editor. I think terminals had a time and place, but it’s time we moved on to tools that are more user friendly and provide better features.
I don't think there are many deep theorems about subtraction, but there are a lot of very deep theorems about powers (and polynomials), the exponential function and logarithm functions (especially in complex analysis).
iXsystems sells turnkey TrueNAS boxes with Atom CPUs, which are comparable in terms of TDP, clock speed, core count, etc. Though the Atom CPUs support 16x more RAM, which ZFS will definitely take advantage of, and 50% more PCIe lanes.

So they're not exactly apples-to-apples, but I don't think encrypted datasets would be the bottleneck.
Isn't it JH7110 like VisionFive2?

> First, when you create a ZFS pool, it partitions drives and puts swap on all of them.

If you have a drive fail, you don't want to replace the failed drive with one that is slightly smaller. It won't work. So they pad with swap.

> IIRC it may have even set up some mdadm RAID mirrors.

Yes in case the drive fails with the swap on.

You don't want to use ZFS for swap, it can require extra memory to allocate blocks. Not what you want when you are out of memory.

> It's a bunch of complexity and can leave you with swap on spinning disks if you don't notice and override the behavior.

If by "checkout" screen you mean the "Review items and shipping" where the yellow "Place your order" button exists to actually "order" the items, then "delete" is hiding behind the "Qty" dropdown that is present on each item (at least for me). You have to click the "Qty 1" dropdown, and only then does the "delete" option appear.

So it is well hidden away, but at least for my Amazon account, one can delete from the "checkout" screen.
