Just today I was listening to Consider This on NPR (transcript [1]) about the increase of election worker harassment. It's quite scary the level things have gotten, with serious death threats, harassment, vandalism, even one election worker's dog being poisoned.

What we still haven't come to grips with is that the internet and the information age have made propaganda and the ability to sway large swaths of the "stupid" (which I would more accurately call the uninformed credulous) exceedingly easy. Network effects cause this mob behavior to accelerate much more rapidly than before.

In Carl Sagan’s The Demon Haunted World [2], he starts his book with an account of what Dietrich here would call the "stupid", a taxi driver that begins to question Carl in earnest about all sorts of conspiracies.

Carl shows through this exchange that it's not that people are stupid. Often many of the credulous are very intelligent, and curious. But what has happened is that our society has failed to teach critical thinking across the board, and has also failed in its ability to democratize education in a way the reaches everyone equally.

Public schools have been a failure in teaching critical thinking. Teachers are not versed or required to have standards in critical thinking skills. Our society also lacks a focus on childhood mental health, so children the most at risk often can't even begin to benefit from school, and will continue down the same paths as their parents. And so we are left with a perpetual problem that continues generation to generation.

If we fix our education and mental health systems, I believe a lot of the worlds problems will follow.

If you want to talk about customers actually receiving stuff, rather than announcements or taking preorders, then the timing is:

- Nezha: late June / early July 2021

- VisionFive 2: February 2023

- Star64: May 2023

The PineTab-V also uses the JH7110. It was supposed to ship late May at the same time as the (very similar) A55-based PineTab2, but according to the company they found something they wanted to fix before shipping. Hopefully soon! My VF2 that arrived in February was supposed to have been in November, and the Star64 was scheduled to ship in December, so slips of a few months are just in the nature of the industry, especially at this time.

I think the answer to all of this is that Google did not see Google Domains as part of the GCP umbrella. Unlike AWS Route 53, it had its on website separate from GCP. What that website did do was sell and bill Google Workspace.

SquareSpace is a reseller of Google Workspace (for people who use SquareSpace for their company homepage), and will not only be taking over the domains, but for those who bought Workspace within Domains, they will become their new reseller.
Sure about that?

I really need a TL;DR on everything that's happened over the past month!

Is it correct that Reddit hiked its API prices in response to realising their data is worth a fortune (since it can be used to train/update LLMs)? Is this understanding correct?

Wouldn't it be possible to do a 'Common Crawl' [1] just for reddit, or would the lag (of perhaps a few minutes) make third-party reddit apps built off crawled data too slow? (if LinkedIn couldn't stop scrapers, why does Reddit think they can?)

I don't know the answer to any of these questions, but I'm really curious.

Interesting read. I don't know if I completely agree, but I don't disagree either, and appreciate this kind of bluntness.
I wish they provide only maintenance updates. I hate all their updates for I think 5 years or something like that. The only reason that I update is because I need new Java support. Their updates bring nothing but issues to me. This year I just migrated to vscode for everything but Java projects. Unfortunately vscode Java support is atrocious, so Idea is not replaceable at the moment.

Believing that society should hide debates on truth from the ‘ignorant masses’ for their own protection is the reason we are in a low-trust situation where people refuse to get vaccinated.

Also, I think this view aligns with TFA. Don’t try to convince stupid people because they will just be reactionary. All you can do is give them the evidence, but to do that you need to take their hypothesis seriously.
A “risk assessment” by customers is typically based on attestations to safety made by the company. If the company is hiding or misrepresenting pertinent information then the customers have been denied the opportunity to make a reasonable assessment. At best it’s a case of gaining money by deception. At worst the company principals will be liable for deaths the deaths of those customers.

We're trying to build a community driven project in this space - https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar. We just did our alpha release a couple of months ago.

I'm not fully nomadic, but I generally do a month on the road and a month back at a place I rent for cheap.

I've been slowly building out a 10-foot cargo trailer similar to this: https://www.trailersplus.com/Nevada/Las_Vegas/6-Wide-Cargo-T...

I got laid off at the start of Covid, but I had enough money saved up that I wasn't in a hurry to get a new job. I looked at lots of manufactured trailers and considered vans as well.

Vans are great because you always have everything with you, but that also means you always have everything with you. Trailers are great because you can drop them and just have a normal car, but then you have to find somewhere to drop them. In the end, I went with a trailer because they're a lot cheaper and I didn't want to go cutting holes in van.

I'd initially planned on getting a manufactured trailer, but all the ones I looked at didn't seem worth the money. The real deal breaker for me was I wanted to do a lot of camping near ski areas and cheaper trailers (sub-$50k) all have plumbing outside the insulated area. I didn't really want to spend $30-50k and then not be able to use the plumbing.

Driving back from an RV dealership, I saw someone pulling a U-Haul and that got me wondering. Sure enough, there's tons of content on youtube of people building out cargo trailers. I actually started by renting a U-Haul for a week and camping out of it in the middle of winter. It wasn't great, but it worked.

At this point, I'm pretty happy with the choice I made, but it's been a ton of work and lots of uncertainty. It's a lot less stressful cutting a hole in a $5k trailer vs a $20-70k van, but it's still pretty stressful. I basically knew nothing about building when I started out. You can just start camping in a cargo trailer right away and it's still better than a tent ... or a teardrop trailer imo.

I've come up with lots of tricks along the way and at some point I'll blog about them. I still have a million ideas I want to try building too though.

The timeline of Google’s domain registration business, according to Wikipedia:

* 2005: Google became a domain name registrar.

* 2015: Google Domains was publicly launched under a beta test mode.

* March 2022: Google announced that Google Domains was officially out of beta.

* June 2023: Squarespace concluded an agreement to purchase the Google Domains business.

Exiting beta in 2022 after seven years suggests Google planned to get serious about Google Domains. What happened between 2022 and 2023 that made them decide to kill it? I guess when a hobby becomes a business, the bar to keep it going is a lot higher.

It doesn't at a base; both render via Skia and have completely bespoke widget systems, not tied to AWT/Swing or the native platform. They could implement the Fleet widget system on top of Compose if they wanted to invest in the effort.

Personally, having worked with multiplatform Compose, I very much appreciate it over the plain "widget objects with callbacks" approach.

This exactly. If an LLM can do your task, then maybe your task was not that exciting to begin with. Let the LLMs to do the mundane coding.

I do bunch of this "exotic" stuff, OpenCL kernels, matrix multiplications in Rust, Lua-written game development, Bezier curves, I write a lot of Haskell, other of random stuff. I feel like if you are doing something that's a bit off the beaten path suddenly the LLMs are not as useful anymore (I use GitHub CoPilot, and occasionally throw something in ChatGPT). And I don't know how fixable this is with the currently known techniques if it's more of a dataset problem.

LLMs are going to need a major leap forward in their abilities before I get afraid of becoming obsolete. Time will tell.

Even in that video, Alec manages to slip in numerous disingenuous arguments, such as when he held up an adapter and suggested size parity between the (larger) female socket end of a complete NACS connector and the (smaller) male plug end of a AC-only J1772 connector.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjny4u5THpU&t=290s

More to the point, the debate isn't about NACS versus J1772, it's about NACS versus CCS1. If you compare CCS1 to NACS, the difference is substantial. This graphic is probably showing best case for NACS and the worst case for CCS1 but the connectors shown are dimensionally accurate:

8 passes so 50B tokens seen. Still, any other >50% HumanEval model is much much bigger https://twitter.com/SebastienBubeck/status/16713263696268533...

Now this wouldn't be possible without the high quality synthetic dataset produced by GPT(1B tokens) but this is more evidence in line with Tiny Stories (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759). That is, LLMs only need to be so big (both data and parameters) to learn the total sum of human knowledge (and deal with trash data).
No, it's neither of those things IMO. (I've driven a lot in Australia and in the US.) The latter you mentioned sounds like a truck-specific rest-stop - there are loads of those on the Stuart Highway, or heading over to Eyre Peninsula.

What they're talking about are turnout lanes which are a lane beside the road with no median/barrier and you're expected to slow down or maybe stop very briefly, purely to let faster traffic through. There are some up on the road past Pichi Richi Park to Quorn if you ever drive through the Southern Flinders, but they're not overly common in SA.

I've seen them formally in northern USA (Idaho going into Washington state, maybe) where they are risky and unclear, and I've seen informal ones on roads east of the Sierra Nevada which are like your quote - rough, unpredictable poorly laid asphalt or gravel.
If you wait until you start to notice it immediately around you, you'll already be a late adopter.

That's ok though. Playing with new paradigms is a young person's game.
Coalton, being a strictly typed language within Common Lisp, addresses type errors showing up at runtime and not having certain useful abstractions. Since it’s not practical to rewrite an entire compiler, we opted to implement a significant new feature of quilc in Coalton called discrete compilation. In this post, we’ll walk through what discrete compilation is, how Coalton made it simpler to implement (compared to Common Lisp), and how we tested that such a complicated feature actually works.
lol only if Google would do things that made sense in anyway.
I'm talking about the predictable effects of such posts in general, not in this specific case. This is not a borderline call.
Depends on the language you use really.

CLion is the best cross platform C++ and Rust IDE there is imho. Everything from target management, to debugging integration and integration with CMake (no having to go back and forth with generated projects) is so head and shoulders above alternatives.

Rider is similarly so well tuned to game development needs. There’s tons of quality of life features in the IDE for Unity and Unreal developers.

PyCharm Pro has great multi language support within a single file which is great for web frameworks, and an integrated database inspector too.

But I’d go back to the : “why would I want to use X over Y?”

I use both. VS Code for small projects and quick edits. Jetbrains for larger projects where I need the better tooling like inspection and refactoring. They’re complementary.

That said, I don’t think I’d be anywhere near as efficient a dev if I didn’t have my Jetbrains stuff on hand. I could replace VS Code with any number of smart text editors like sublime or fleet instead.

That's terrible. Not every domain is on GCP Cloud domains and falls back to Google domains by default. It's quite obvious even as a user.
