“Unemployment” is people who are trying to find work divided by themselves + people working. If everyone is living a life of leisure, it will still be low.
Even looking west, people don’t commute outside of their mega region.

IMHO what the California High Speed Rail got wrong was their ambitious attempt to build the main line from SF to LA where they should have stated in the North by connecting San Francisco, Sacramento, and Stockton and/or in the south by linking LA with San Diego. These corridors are going to be more used by commuters and it’s usage would drive the will to connect them.
It has no understanding of praise or punishment, it is simply a statistical engine that correlates tokens (which are not even words but byte sequences that can be made into words by concatenation).
Is it just me, or is Lemmy.world really slow? I'm on a multi gigabit connection, and feel like I'm browsing with a 56k modem.
this is entirely on the webapps.

webauthn, as designed, can't be used to lock anybody into any authentication method, because the apps that use it should support adding as many different webauthn methods as you want. it only has the possibility to be a lock-in if you are restricted in the number of authentication methods you can add for a third-party service you want to authenticate to. and FWIW, apple and google both recommend supporting infinite passkeys, and have implemented that in their own webapps. any fearmongering about webauthn/fido/passkeys being a vendor lock-in is not backed up by current facts.
While you didn’t touch on this, it’s usually somehow blamed on grocery stores, the government, etc.

The problem is that the people in those areas simply don’t want real grocery stores. I’m not sure how you’d go about fixing that. Maybe, and I stress the maybe, a better home economics class? Ours was a joke, but it’s hard to actually teach kids how to cook (and other things) with a limited class time. Combining with lunchtime for those taking it might make sense.

My parents cooked but kids out there without that - it’s probably hard to turn it around. Laziness is a hard nut to crack, especially combined with ignorance.

The jump in address sizes starts to get too unwieldy. 32 bit addresses were ok, 64 bit addresses start to get clunky, 128 bit would be exorbitant for CPU real estate. There's a reason AMD64 still only supported 40 physical address bits when it was introduced, and later only expanded to 48 bits.

The reality is there will always be a hierarchy for storage, and paging will always be the best mechanism to deal with it. Because primary memory will always be most expensive, no matter what technology it's based on. There will always be something slower, cheaper, and denser that will be used for secondary storage. There will always be cheaper storage. And its capacity will exceed primary, and it will always be most efficient to reference secondary storage in chunks - pages - and not at individual byte addresses.
They can always get a different job instead of killing people.
What a mind-bogglingly stupid decision if so, I can just train a network on the identity function and get royalty free mickey mouse now?
Sorry, but "50x larger than RAM" is a pretty small DB - that's an 800 GB database on a machine with 16 GB of RAM. I usually have seen machines with 500-1000x ratios of flash to RAM. "RAM is relatively cheap" is also false when you're storing truly huge amounts of data, which is how the systems you compare yourself to (LevelDB, etc) are usually deployed. Note that RAM is now the single greatest cost when buying servers.

> Now that the total database is 50 times larger than RAM, around half of the key lookups will require a disk I/O.

That is an insanely high cache hit rate, which should have probably set off your "unrepresentative benchmark" detector. I am also a little surprised at the lack of a random writes benchmark. I get that this is marketing material, though.
You might enjoy https://hokstad.com/compiler . I could never get on with the traditional top-down presentation of building a compiler where you start with this idea that you're going to build a parser and a lexer and all that. Seeing someone build a compiler the same way you'd build a regular program - start from the simple cases and expand out to cover what you need to - was a real revelation. In practice it's ended up with something pretty similar to the standard architecture, but now I can understand why.
My script installs configuration as well as packages. Guix is way more complex than my script, not only in part because I would need package a non zero amount of things to have it be feature complete with my shell script, and unlike your notepad vs emacs example, people don't seem to point to anything that Guix can do that my system can't, or the things they identify I do so rarely that it would be more efficient to do them manually instead of porting my system to Guix, like making containers.

Also not a popular way to configure a system? They are THE default way, that is being tried to displaced by various configuration management tooling and Guix, no?

If I wanted to sells emacs to someone on notepad I wouldn't have to resort to things as vague and hand wavy and dubious in value as reproducible'). I'd be listing features they lack. The Guix features I want I have, which is simple install of my applications and configs

You don't need Guix to copy files to /etc, you don't need it to install your applications and you can get a pretty reasonably easy custom install with a repo of config files and a script to clone and copy.

The problems in France run much deeper than the police murdering a brown person. Massive influx of a segregated immigrant population who are forced economically into neglected areas and discriminated against routinely. Over-incarceration and prison system create a breeding ground for criminality and terrorism. Worsening economic outlook for many combined with neoliberal systematic neglect and increased taxation through austerity. The populist fascist white nationalists under Nationally Rally (National Front) who hope to push out Macron would make the situation worse. Riots are what happen when people lack jobs, money, housing, safety, love, or justice.
Out of curiosity, do you have anything actually useful to add or are just throwing appeals to authority because you don't ?
The main risk is that you will not be insured by FDIC any longer. However, if you remember 2008, the government was very interested in ensuring that money market funds did not lose any value ("breaking the buck"). So you are comparing an absolute FDIC guarantee to clean up the pieces if anything should break versus a no-holds-barred effort to ensure that nothing breaks in the first place, but then no guarantees if it does.

Other minor things to note: (1) You will be directly exposed to interest rates, and they can and do change quickly when nothing is locked in. This is usually in your favor (no more plummeting down instantly and climbing up very very slowly...), but it's worth recognizing. (2) As money market funds are security-like, it is usually slow to move money in and out of them. Securities trades do not settle instantly in the US, and this is intentional. Again, no issue if you know this is the case. Your broker may also hide some of this latency for you, depending on what you're buying from who.
Diigo has solved a number of these goals for me. It’s strange it hasn’t developed as much of the social side of the annotation that it easily could.
OAuth/OIDC flow through Facebook (or whoever) doesn't really have the same tight integration into the browser/OS that WebAuthn proposes, however. There's also no compelling reason for 'Website X' to support OIDC with Facebook/Google/Yahoo/other, because there's too many choices and if the provider of choice is down, your site is inaccessible to those users.

The major browsers and OSes already support WebAuthn, so it may be compelling for all 'Website Xs' to implement it, though the linked article presents a (dated) concern that they won't.

That's not the part I'm worried about: WebAuthn as a standard may work almost everywhere, but as a user, your ability to bounce around between browsers/OSes with your secrets coming with you may be restricted.
This is how it works in a lot of places, including everywhere in China and parts of south east Asia. The merchant’s device displays a QR code, which you scan with your phone. The details of the transaction are shown on your screen, and you can select things like where the money should come from, sometimes discounts etc, and then tap to complete the transaction.
Hm, PayPal allows passwordless? I can't seem to find the option.
Because it's not a myth for everyone?

I think issues exist on both sides, you're just picking examples that work for your argument
You have hundreds of choices to take credit cards online. You can just go the traditional method and get a merchant account and payment gateway.
i don't think most people care. or would care, ever, if the site worked without js.

the people who care about sites running without js also don't contribute to revenue either.

EMV is in a substantially better position than online credit card payments: the terminal cannot clone a card (though it sees a PIN and card number, it does not see the CVV, so it is not useful for online transactions, and the card contains private keys which are relatively hard to extract. The only remaining hole is creating a magstripe card, but these are becoming rare even in the US). The card does see and verify the transaction. The two main issues are the PIN entry onto the pad (which exposes some information, though with NFC this hole is somewhat removed), and the fact that the payment is still initiated by the terminal, with no way for the user to independently see the transaction amount before authorising the transaction (NFC on a phone can in principle fix this, though in a somewhat annoying manner: it could refuse the transaction the first time, then prompt the user, and accept the next transaction for the same amount).
Does that mean nothing ever happens until you've agreed to a serious relationship? I do not see that refreshing or better in any way than our dating style.
Native DOM APIs are a lot nicer than they used to be. Just JS will work just fine as long as you're comfortable building a whole UI yourself. You can sprinkle on Typescript for static types (which I wouldn't do without for any serious project, myself), esbuild for bundling, then serve it how you like.

The issue you might run into as you scale up is managing the state and synchronization of a large, complex UI. This is where having a reactive, declarative interface can help out a lot - which is why you arrive at React and tooling around that, or something much like it. That's where most large UI projects end up, frontend or backend.
The only ambiguity is what you put there - my past two serious relationships have started with hookups, progresses to hangouts, and eventually reached the point where I’ve said, “hey, do you want to be my boyfriend?” Followed by a discussion about what that means re: exclusivity etc.

If you haven’t had that, it’s because you’ve chosen not to partake.
It seems to a good barrier for not to overload mods. Only who really want to report send email to mod.
I'd imagine same kind of worst case access would also be a problem doing IO the "classical" way
Makes sense from a chaoticness standpoint as well. I have a transfer in my neighborhood and one downtown, where four rail lines and dozens of busses meet. The downtown transfer is an absolute zoo. Near stampedes on the stairs between the rail platforms. Absolute chaos with the dozens of bus lines on the streets above, easy to get turned around exiting the underground station taking the wrong stair out because the station is symmetrical. A lot more trash, noise, bad smells, and evidently crime from the level of police presence at this central station. I imagine most central transit hubs in places with more transit use are even more chaotic than my American example.
You might need a nvidia GPU for your LLM training case tbh.
GPT is great at writing advanced nonsense
msync lets you force a flush so you can control the latest possible moment for a writeout. But the OS can flush before that, and you have no way to detect or control that. So you can only control the late side of the timing, not the early side. And in databases, you usually need writes to be persisted in a specific order; early writes are just as harmful as late writes.
> I think you missed a crisis in Africa.

You'll find that I specifically mentioned Setser's treatments of of African refinancing attempts. Either way, Chinese loans to Africa make up a very small portion of Chinese activity. If you're talking about debt trap diplomacy, well... Chinese loans to Africa also make up a small portion of African debt. Eric Olander and Cobus van Staden discuss this a lot.

E-bikes and especially e-scooters are a great complement to trains, and potentially fix the problem in this article - if you have a scooter you can take on the train, then getting from the other end to your destination becomes a lot easier. Or even if you don't take it in the train, commuter-scale bike parking at stations is a lot more practical than commuter-scale car parking.

If you don't need special software to use passwords, you're doing it wrong.
users, for the most part, do not understand passwords.

some of them do, but a large portion of users do not understand why they need a password, do not understand how it keeps their account secure, or do not remember any password beyond a single use. there's a high proportion of people who do a "reset my password" every single time they log in to a service, and a smaller but still significant portion who are simply unable to sign in to any service that requires a password. they need a "computer-savvy" tech person to help them, or they just don't use it. the password is not some paragon of excellent UX that we're struggling to replicate.

Users see passwords as a barrier they need to defeat to access the thing they want, and will use any means available to them to defeat that barrier, security be damned. passwords are terrible.
That's a very unusual metric to use for this purpose. Essentially the "mode" of the income distribution. I'm not saying you're wrong to use it, it's just a little strange. The mode of most distributions doesn't tell you much about the distribution as a whole, which might be just fine in this case.

OTOH, the median is the number for which half the households in the country earn more and half earn less, and whatever the merits of the mode might be, I still think that's a fairly significant value too.

There's nothing mentioned in the submitted article that isn't part of "the JavaScript ecosystem"—because everything it mentions is the product of the outgrowth of Node, NPM... and that subtree exists within the JS ecosystem. But to narrowly focus on that subtree and say it's "a critique of the JavaScript ecosystem" is like visiting McDonald's and passing off your experience as a meaningful critique of the ritual of ordering food and eating it, or writing an angry blog post about the chicanery of some nincompoop your cousin knows while implying that this is what you should expect when you interact with anyone else named "Steve". It's a shameless generalization that's both stupid and unnecessary.

If you have a grievance against The Node Way of software development and you want to air it publicly, then have enough of a sense of awareness that that's what you're doing—and say as much when you do it.
This isn’t a debate about how to hydrate.

It’s a debate about drinking sugar or artificial sweeteners when you want to enjoy a drink. Why is that fact lost in this discussion?
Yes, unemployment is a good statistic in that case because it only measures those who are trying and failing to find a job, not those who don’t want or need one.
Makepad- Synthesizer Written in Rust
With the recent new QR systems around Southeast Asia, they got around this by adding support to existing terminals with just a software update. They print out the QR code for the payer to scan. It’s a bit janky, but works until the merchant updates their terminal to one with a screen capable of displaying the QR.
All of them are at the whims of the main networks, however. The policies they set trickles down to affect everyone (see for example how damn hard it is to take payment for porn).
It will be interesting to see who conquers this space
Yep, but then you force the compiler to choose a specific struct-layout which may be suboptimal if, for example, coding for simd. You also can't control the values of the struct padding bytes which may cause very interesting bugs.
> You can blame the evil competitor but the real problem is that credit cards are not the right tool for payments to strangers over the internet.

Granted the entire system needs a revamp, but credit cards are one of the best tools we have to pay strangers right now. Credit card money isn’t your money being spent, and comes with a fraud guarantee. I would rather use a credit card than something linked to my money in a checking account for sketchy transactions.

Yes, it’s a hassle when the card number inevitably gets stolen, but NFC payments, etc are starting to tackle this.

One thing I’ve seen a lot is people misunderstanding credit cards. If you pay them off monthly, you usually get some kind of reward and additionally a huge layer of fraud protection from your personal finances. That being said, I also can’t wait until more secure credit card systems become more prevalent.

Not rare at all. I grew up in such a place (well, before WiFi, but now it has WiFi and still doesn’t have cell service), and have lived in two other houses like this. On holidays I have stayed in hundreds of places like this.

I remember in Berlin going to a bar where there was no cell service (some combination of poorly sited base stations and thick walls made of something dense). They of course offered free WiFi considering this.

Where I am now, there’s a section of beach full of cafes that has no cell service. If you walk 100m north or south it’s fine, but that bit is a dead zone. All the cafes have free WiFi.
Yeah this hype has opened my eyes to the fact that there are so many people who haven't already found a flow for internet searches that's more streamlined than this AI stuff. Don't we all do this every day?
Not even a hint as to what any of this is.
> I am also a little surprised at the lack of a random writes benchmark.

Eh? This was 20% random writes, 80% random reads. LMDB is for read-heavy workloads.

> That is an insanely high cache hit rate, which should have probably set off your "unrepresentative benchmark" detector.

No, that is normal for a B+tree; the root page and most of the branch pages will always be in cache. This is why you can get excellent efficiency and performance from a DB without tuning to a specific workload.
I don't think this is a good analogy. A better analogy is the multiple previous AI hype cycles. They played out similarly. They brought some truly new capabilities that are used in production, just like LLMs will become a widely used tool, but failed to live up to the AGI hype even though everyone was convinced we're just a step away back in the 80s already and in a few years machine will do all our work.

The only reason people don't see this is because they weren't around back then. It's not going to be different this time.
Can't think of a single case where null terminated strings are more efficient. Could you give some examples?
