Helix is awesome but have been disappointed by the core devs stance toward integrating some form of copilot. It's really difficult to use an editor that doesn't support it at this point.
Are we at a point where all weather events should be classified as climate change regardless of any proof or reason to do so? Some places are generally dryer than others and weather patterns aren’t restricted to small timescales just because that’d make things easier.
I do, and it has been true (I believe it still is, that's fundamental to the notion of freedom): https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

> When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users' essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.”

These are actual hashes for books that exist somewhere on the IPFS network. You can get a lot of them to resolve. They've just never been requested from the site the DMCA notices are being sent to.

It's more likely that someone downloaded an IPFS hash list from LibGen and started sending emails generated from that.
It seems that this problem has been somewhat tackled already (Apologies for the sensationalized video title): https://youtu.be/SCfCuLy4RJA?t=298
No, since the law is what defines whether you're actually under penalty of perjury, and the law says "A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed". You're only committing perjury if you falsely assert that you're authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed right. Incorrectly asserting that you're under penalty of perjury if you falsely assert that the information in the notice is accurate is further evidence of incompetence rather than of fraud, sadly.
I agree that we are already massively terraforming the planet, and that there is some terraforming we should stop and dinner we should do more of.

That sounds like an opportunity to improve on collaboration (i.e. people talking, notifying each other) as well as trust ("compare with the figma board and flogg you because it looks nothing like it")

For instance, if something is agreed upon and a designer changes it afterwards, they could simply give you a heads up that they intend to do so with context so the two of you can discuss.

It’s fascinating that it’s robust to noise injections, especially lossy compression and blurring. I suppose it makes sense given the latent space water mark presumably makes global changes to the significant features even if imperceptible. It feels like this might be possible to use as a upscaling technique to inject the watermark into existing photographs without directly manipulating the photographic content.
I had a bad first impression when the Zig compiler refused to compile a file with Windows line endings. For all I know it might be an interesting language, but to me that decision indicates a level of pedantry and hostility to non-Linux environments that doesn't look too promising.
I struggle with this question too. It's always tough since as the creator you always see the flaws in what you're building. Here are my 2c, hope it helps:

1. What is your core value prop? An MVP isn't a set of features necessarily, but it should solve a specific problem that you think your users have.

2. What do you still need to learn about your users? What is the shortest path to learning those things? If your product is like most others, it will almost certainly change once you get it into the hands of users. Optimize for learning, not "correctness".

3. What is stopping you from launching? For me, it's often a fear of failure. When it isn't, I rarely question whether I should launch or not. I know the product isn't ready. I then ask myself, what am I afraid of? Usually it's that either 1) no one will care or 2) people will care and the product won't be ready so people will churn.

Taking those individually, I try to shift "no one caring" to actually relieve pressure. If no one cares, then what's there to be afraid of? As for 2, if the product isn't ready and people churn, there will be more users and you will learn a ton.

I find it's helpful to think of launching an MVP as a learning opportunity. I mean this in the most genuine, helpful way: the most likely case is that people won't care and there is a ton of learning in that.

One last thing: you may have already read this but PG has an essay called The 18 Mistakes That Kill Startups that covers both launching too early and launching too late: http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html

I hope this was helpful, best of luck!
I liked how the Hard Fork Podcast compared it to Wikipedia. When Wikipedia first came out, people were up in arms about how dangerous and untrustworthy it was. Wikipedia is going to ruin society with widespread misinformation!

Then we adapted. People learned about Wikipedia's strengths and weaknesses. People use Wikipedia as a useful tool for research but don't trust it blindly. I think the same will happen with LLMs.
A few companies I subcontract for pay a service to take and destroy perfectly good computers. I've seen i5-8400 machines get dragged away, never to see the light of day again.
> Not going to mention the Odyssey would have been the more appropriate reference? The Iliad isn't really that long.

The odyssey is modeled after the iliad. Both poems are divided into 24 books and both the trojan war and the voyage in odyssey was 10 years long. Iliad has more lines though - 15,693 (Iliad) vs 12,109 (Odyssey).

Well in addition to the four values there are also 12 principles of the agile manifesto. And agile leaves plenty of room to deal with the issues mentioned.

The actual problem with agile, as I’ve seen first hand, is that teams adopt Scrum as if it’s some Agile Silver Bullet. If you just do what you’re told by the CSM, then projects will go better. This is especially true when there is a power imbalance, developer problems are swept under the carpet, and retros are discouraged or non existent.

It’s nonsense. Like all practices, there are all sorts of problems intrinsic to Scrum that need to be considered carefully and resolved.

How do you manage a large backlog?

How do you deal with unexpected complexity discovered at the very start of a sprint?

Where are the overall project goals documented - and how do we measure against them?

This is not to say that these problems can’t be dealt with in scrum. The Agile Manifesto leaves plenty of room for resolving them, but Scrum is being taught by many as the One True Way, and if you dare suggest changes or deficiencies in the process then you just Don’t Get It.

It’s the rigidity of these practices that has become the problem - the way I’ve seen Scrum implemented in several large projects is effectively waterfall with a scrum veneer.

When you’ve been shipping software for more than the length of your adult life, it gets tiresome to have someone with a dodgy certification in agile project management explain how to ship.

> This is an assumption you are making that many (most?) religions do not.

We're really only talking about the Abrahamic faiths here, which are the ones making claims about God being omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.

Any limitation to God's abilities implies that God is not all-powerful. If it is the case that this universe of sin and decay and the literal hail Mary of self-sacrifice on the cross with the result, as described in the book of Revelations, that the vast majority of humans who have ever lived will still burn in Hell for eternity is really the best God can do, then God cannot be all powerful. If God is all powerful then everything is arbitrary to Him. He chooses to allow evil. He chooses not to forgive sin. He chooses a pyrrhic victory at the end of time where evil still mostly wins.

Incompetent, yes. Malicious, certainly. To quote George Carlin, this is not work that belongs on the resume of a Supreme Being. All powerful? Obviously not.

Other religions don't have this problem. The gods of many other religions are limited in their capabilities and often exist within the framework of a cycle that allows constant redemption and renewal through reincarnation. In many ways, the cosmos itself is the highest power, and the gods are just what sits above humanity, but it's all still a part of the same flawed yet transcendental machine. There's always hope. With the Abrahamic faiths, there is only always existential dread. God by default will cast you into perdition, your sins are absolute and immutable, and if you fuck up the one life you have there are no second chances.
the problem with all these hipster vims is that it's too late in the game, vi is everywhere you're going to be remoting into and these are only going to be on your localhost, not even off a fresh install. your muscle memory might as well carry over, same reason evil mode is the only modal extension for emacs that matters and QWERTY is the only keyboard layout for sane people
I mentioned Python simply because it was ranked highly in some of these kinds of surveys, even though it has quite a few well-known problems as a language. It demonstrates that ranking in such surveys is not necessarily correlated with the capabilities or fitness for purpose of the language.

In some ways, Python is in fact worse than many of the mainstream alternatives - for example, it's not unusual for people to look to rewrite Python systems in some other language because of performance issues at scale. Same (if not worse) goes for Ruby.
Im there with you, LLMs don’t understand in the same sense we do. But they can transform a well written compressed spec into code. The spec becomes the true source and can be tweaked on and chatgpt regenerates the whole code over. It’s nondeterministic so everytime it will be slightly different but with multiple renditions its average should look like the travel salesman graph of the problem itself
Mg is better migraine medicine than actual headache medicine. Try it next time you feel one. :)
...well... Then clearly they should have put more time into the control system to allow for remote control from a submerged audio relay?

We've got more than enough ways to rig up signalling networks that there is zero reason for any submersible to not be remotely tested to crush depth.
IMO, as a lay guitar player of 25 years only recently taking it a little more seriously, overfocus on technical skill and overtraining can actually be a detriment. Overplaying is absolutely a real thing, and nothing kills the soul like being self-conscious.
I think I had to use Access in the databases class too back in 2003; they taught SQL but also had a practical project that involved building something in Access.

I could see it as a legitimate use case-- in a real business environment, even in a software-centric organization, you might have a need for light-duty database stuff where the UI is 90% of the value, and Access could give you that while trying to tape together an interface atop SQLite or MySQL is a lot of extra effort.

Reagan, who started off as a Democrat, is famous for saying, when he became a Republican, something to the effect "I didn't change, the Democratic Party did." I'm not sure how accurate that was in Reagan's case, but it does seem to apply to RFK Jr. When he was interviewed by Gerry Baker for the WSJ Free Expression podcast it was evident to me that he continues to think very much along the lines of his father and uncle (leaving aside vaccines and maybe the environment). He struck me as very intelligent and sort of an anti-Biden in the sense that he requires no handlers to prop him up.

The first thing I thought of when I heard him speak was that he needs to have whatever that surgery was that Elton John had to fix his voice. Unfortunately, Kennedy's problem is due to a muscle (or nerve?) disease that affects just the larynx. Sad to say it is probably a career-limiting condition for someone running for the presidency. I am a Republican myself, but I grew up in an Irish Catholic Democratic family -- the Kennedys could do no wrong! Needless to say I would much rather have him as president than Biden.
You used word 'haul' in context of transporting ~10-20kg, twice.
It is a correlation. Most of European decent can drink milk, and most of European decent of leaned English. There is however no relationship between them and so it shouldn't be a surprise that you can find exceptions either way.
Did you read the post? I didn't think it was too subtle. Especially because it was so out of place.
Not to rain on the parade, but I've found pea protein to be one of the least pleasant-tasting plant proteins, at least in beverages and smoothies. Not even chocolate covers it up. I just think people deserve a heads-up before they go and buy a big canister.
OpenAI's motive here is clear as day. They want additional regulations for everyone else to create a barrier to entry into the industry they have an advantage. It's the same story as medical companies actually lobbying for more regulation when you'd think they want less. They love the red tape and high investment amounts needed to break into the industry.
There's plenty of physics you can teach without calculus. I wish the curriculum here wouldn't start with kinematics. When I did physics without calculus, I was taught forces, force diagrams, torque, pulley systems, buoyancy, work and energy, and some basic electric circuits (including Kirchhoff's Rules). The only bit of kinematic was motion with constant velocity, which doesn't need any calculus.
There is more than one Midwestern culture.
>We were way better off before smartphones. Looking back on it now, we may have been even better off before the Internet.

Not to contradict myself, but I have to disagree.

Smartphones and the internet have improved the quality of life for a significant fraction of humanity. Given the choice between going back to a pre-internet technological paradigm of landline phones and total corporate control over media and communication, or somehow learning to deal with opening Pandora's box, I'll take the latter.
I mean, at those pressures, yeah.

> Law Enforcement - I.C.E Referrals

Maybe it's more the "customs" side of this department that this referral is going to, but it also sounds to me like trying to wield the sledgehammer of an ICE officer showing up to an immigrant's door, a notoriously evil strategy employed by all sorts of businesses and government agencies to get what they want.

The DMCA abuse is disgusting, the ICE threat is evil.
c and cpp are great. definitely worth learning, sometimes worth using.

probably best avoid for the first few years of serious engineering as a beginner.
You mostly see water.
I'll add my anecdata. I'm dark skinned and an engineer, so sunlight and me are strangers at best.

I've taken 5000 IU/day (with vitamin K2) and have my blood levels tested every year. I don't remember what my serum levels are but they were on the high end of healthy individuals. Last I checked, my levels matched what a person reaches who spends the day in the sunlight, perhaps like a outdoor worker.

Whatever you try, if you have an annual check up, you should get you blood levels tested to verify you reach sane levels. I think most studies and articles fail to mention how dark the subjects are.
Ugh yeah when designers change things after a client signs off and in the middle of implementation. It confuses everyone and no one remembers what was actually signed off.
In this case the URLs contain valid IPFS hashes. The ones that I've tried all resolve to real files with the IPFS CLI.

The issue is they've never been requested from the gateway that the DMCA notices are being sent to. They might be blocked by the gateway, they might fail to resolve on the gateway for other reasons, or they might work. Nobody checked before sending the complaint.
Right, so you might have, for example, FreeBSD, which as distributed by the FreeBSD developers is free software, but which can also potentially be used in a proprietary downstream product, which is not free software. The FreeBSD developers did not deny users any of the four freedoms. They just allowed other people to potentially do so.

I'm surprised that none of these comments address the completely new interaction paradigm -- eye tracking + hand gesture tracking. Previous devices couldn't track accurately enough to provide high quality user interaction this way. All the ones I know about required holding controllers.

If this is successful it will be the first completely new interaction paradigm since the mouse. Of course so far interactions are mapped down to hover and click because existing software can then run, but the UI tools aren't limited to that at all.

I'd expect that in five years we'll have a completely different sense of interaction with content through Vision (or Vision like products).

(For those who want to quibble -- Touch is somewhat new relative to the mouse, and multi-touch gestures are truly new but very limited. But the design of apps and user interaction hasn't significantly evolved relative to the mouse-bound era.)
This is awesome and exciting. Thanks for sharing. The demo video demonstrates exactly what’s on my mind with the awkward latency.
But it's not "removing items", at least not for all meanings of the word "removing". You can see this with something like:

s := []string{"hello", "world", "foo", "bar"}
fmt.Println(s) // [hello world foo bar]

s = s[:0]
fmt.Println(s) // []

s = append(s, "XXX")
s = s[:2]
fmt.Println(s) // [XXX world]

Which will print back "XXX world" because it's using the same array, and nothing was ever "deleted": only the slice's length was updated.

This is why "delete(slice, n)" doesn't work and it only operates on maps.

I suppose clear(slice) could allocate a new array, but that's not the same behaviour as clear(map) either, and doesn't really represent the common understanding of "clearing a slice". The only behaviour I can think of that vaguely matches what "clearing a slice" means is what it does now.

The backlog helps solve problems above my team not for my team. I tick tok between sprint planning and kickoffs with developers. My superiors need to prioritize and literally rank the stuff they need done. Otherwise everything is a priority and nothing gets done.

> "I don't make trucks regular people want... I make trucks for people who want to spend lots of money" – a more accurate statement, I think.

I don’t think these people want to spend lots of money. It’s just that this is all that’s on the market in North America.
What if I said "expect" rather than "demand"?

I agree that one of the problems is that we've sometimes been given reason not to expect an institution to have integrity.

One of the other problems is that public discourse is often lacking in integrity, as well.
It boggles my mind that we basically have an on-shore tax haven and nobody seems to give a shit.
This is something that I've also been wanting to play with. The token limit is too small for my codebase so I haven't really bothered, but it would be nice to tell it all my code and then say "refactor everything of the form `err = foo` into `if err := foo; ...`". If AI is going to take my job, it is going to have to learn to do maintenance!
I'm not sure what you're talking about. It's a skill with limited usefulness that has real drawbacks. The comments seem well aware of that.
Like humans, context matters.

“This reminds me of… that movie where uhhh… the big guy goes to death row and he like… he can help people with his special powers, like that mouse he names or.. uhhh…”

You’d probably interrupt me and it would be appropriate and welcomed.
True. Rivians scare me, as a pedestrian and cyclist. Not only heavy, but blazingly fast. In 5 years when they get handed down to teenagers, well, shit.

Specifically: high-density, climate-controlled storage. Books are boxed, palleted, and shrinkwrapped.

They can be retrieved, though not especially speedily.

"Internet Archive founder turns to new information storage device – the book" (2012)

"There is always going to be a role for books," said Kahle, as he perched on the edge of a shipping container soon to be tricked out as a climate-controlled storage unit. Each container can hold about 40,000 volumes, the size of a branch library. "We want to see books live forever."

So far, Kahle has gathered about 500,000 books. He thinks the warehouse itself is large enough to hold about a million titles, with each one given a barcode that identifies the cardboard box, pallet and shipping container in which it resides....

If someone does need to see an actual physical copy of a book, Kahle said it should take no more than an hour to fetch it....

Electro-Harmonix ships an expression pedal with the HOG2 that uses an accelerometer rather than a pot, and that also takes a power cord or batteries.
