It is client API. I was talking about server API. For example express.js or fastify-based.
Thanks for the heads up regarding mailing list mode of Discourse. I will consider that!
Agreed - the U.K.’s is around 15% higher than their closest neighbour, France.
> This is one reason I think the future of LLMs is to move from prompt boxes to GUIs and buttons - I think ‘prompt engineering’ and natural language’ are mutually contradictory.

Yes. Just like search. But that didn't mean that search was replaced by a bunch of radio buttons and click boxes. On the contrary, we learned how to use freeform search. And we will do the same for LLMs.

What I'm seeing is that the systems are most powerful when driven through and conversational interface. They are strong translation systems. They can ask questions and incorporate the answers into their outputs. The way to use them is only clear to a few people who are deep in the experimentation process now, but it will become common knowledge and their outputs will improve to the point that what we are doing with them now will seem primitive.
I agree. It may be helpful under certain circumstances, but under different ones it might actually slow you down, thereby yielding a net productivity gain of zero. At least, that's what it did for me personally.

What I worry about is human greed in relation to AI, be it GPT or anything else. The incentives are lined up to produce something akin to AGI and the tools are becoming more tangible. The goal is to tap the honey pot of automating current knowledge labor first and foremost. Later, other areas of labor.
Given ChatGPT reached 100M users shortly after launch, it must have a broader reach than just techies.

There are regular articles on it in mainstream news. Most of the people I know have tried it. Some of them can't see it will be useful, and some of them already find it useful. Some of them are techies and some aren't. Some techies are in the set that don't think it is useful.

I have ADD. The best tutorials for me are code heavy. Show don't tell. A chunk of code to illustrate a point is a million times better than a couple of paragraphs of text.
People act like this is inevitable, like the Google-vs-SEO cat and mouse game has been finally, authoritatively won by SEO. But I see it differently, I think that Google has stopped fighting back against SEO. Using Cory Doctorow's "enshittification" theory [1], they are now in the final phase, where they screw everyone over and burn their product to the ground in exchange for temporary cost savings. Google has never had a serious competitor, so there's a huge moat to fill before they have to worry about losing market share.

EVs are probably in a better position than most ICE vehicles in that situation.

You won't consume fuel while at a dead stop in the traffic jams. You'll have peak efficiency when moving at low speeds in the traffic jams. You'll already be charged up at home, while everyone else will be waiting in line at gas stations to fill up. Some people won't even be able to get gas, because the stations will run out in the rush.
>America has committed heinous crimes overseas but Russia is by far worse.

No, this is entirely incorrect.

Just a couple of cases, out of an extraordinarily heinous litany of war crimes, and crimes against humanity: Mosul, and Raqqa. Two cities of two million people.

The military support of the genocide of 20 million souls in Yemen by a fascist totalitarian-authoritarian dictatorship: whose bombs are they, exactly?

Russia has a long way to go to catch up with the US' depravity. Your ignorance is inexcusable. Possibly you view the atrocities in Ukraine as being more vast in scale than the atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen - because these are not white people nations.

Intellectual property laws, honestly. Peacefully coexisting isn't an option when you need to proactively defend trademarks to keep them. In such a dispute, holding the .com (with bonus points for defensive registrations across other TLDs) will grant you some favor.
PS: If you really want a prime example for parasitic Apple, look no further than the Mac eventually finding its killer application in desktop publishing. In order to so, Apple came up with the LaserWriter: They took Canon's LBP-CX laser printer engine (laser printing had been developed at Xerox PARC), bolted on their RIP utilizing PAL and RAM chips from other companies, and as they were at it, also hooked up their LocalTalk network interface. The software, PostScript, of course, came from Adobe, the founder of which, John Warnock, had come from PARC. This all was covered up by a case by Frog Design and Apple finally slapped their logo on this. As before, Apple fiendishly covered their traces by licensing what had not been developed in-house…

;-)

None of this had been possible, hadn't Jobs seen the Canon LBP-CX, while negotiating for a supply of floppy drives, and hadn't he been aware of John Warnock and his PostScript development, and, of course, none of this had been possible without Xerox PARC. Still, we call this legitimate development.

Are there really 10 different explanations?

I’ve seen “they’re long so there’s more space for ads” and “they’re long so you spend more time there so it doesn’t get penalised by google”, and to me those are pretty closely related.
Huh, I don't get the parallel parking one, at least in Bulgaria I regularly have to parallel park on both sides, I don't imagine it'd be that much different. I imagine roundabouts are Hell, though
I have a bad experience with night guards and it seems to be something dentists like to prescribe unfortunately. I got one as I had pain in one tooth and it was due to grinding and closing my mouth hard in the nights.

Once I started with the night guard I got even more pain and after a month or two my tooth cracked and had to be repaired.

As there is even less space (as you have the plastic stuff between your teeth now) it seems you press even harder which damages the teeth even more. Maybe against light grinding movement it can help, but against pressing your teeth hard together at night it does definitely not help.

The best advice I got was to remind yourself at night when going to bed (and during the night when you notice it) to open your mouth a little (still with the lips closed) so that the teeth do not touch. It's a habit thing. I also noticed I grinded/pressed my jaws together more if I went to bed late.
Yes, IDE support would help developers find the method that is being called. This is already quite a problem given we have complex class hierarchies and interfaces with default methods. I'm not sure I see the need for an annotation though.
Yeah seems to do VERY well at Nurburgring.

Soul is one of my favorite non technical book about technical products. I read it from back to back burning candles and am now reading it for a second time. As a software person building physical products always intrigue me.

This, plus the 1984 Macintosh article showed me what was a great time back in the 70s/80s for computer engineers -- you could design the hardware with a very small team, and there were more diversity in computer manufacturers back then.

Nevertheless, thanks to people like Ben Eater, I can still live that era with much more information and hand-holding. His 6502-computer series is a gold mine. I'm going to watch all of the videos and build one afterwards.

In the back of my mind, sometimes I feel that building a customer computer, if possible to be a 32/64 bit one, is an essential skill to fight the dystopian future we are inevitably walking into.
Weren't you supposed to still hold the wheel and take over in case of something goes wrong?
I've used RocksDB for an in-memory K/V store of ~600GB in size and it worked really well. Not saying it's the best choice out there but it did the job very well for us. And in particular because our dataset was always growing and we needed the option to fallback to disk if needed, RocksDB worked very well.

Was a PITA to optimise though; tons of options and little insight into which ones work.
Not familiar with European dating customs. How does this "declaration" work? Do you announce to the other person (or the whole town) whether you wish to pursue marriage or just sex upfront? And the village would be okay with it as long as you don't lie about marriage just to get laid?
That sounds fantastic.

It would be awesome if it had some kind of external trigger, since the very low weight and small size means it should be very easy to integrate into other things (model train, drone, r/c car, robot, whatever). I guess chances are low, if the only interface is the USB port (and SD card socket).

Would love for someone to integrate this with NVME storage somehoe
I appreciate the intent, but man is this like a minefield waiting to be walked over. Anyone who looks at the code will scratch their head and will not understand what is going on. An annotation would perhaps make it clearer.

That is the generic argument against extension methods wherever they appear. They are very confusing, until you get used to remembering their existence, then you know what to search for.

Also, how about IDE support? I would argue it is at least as important as the feature itself.

This is mentioned in TFA.
There are likely tons of blog posts that answer the specific question "python iterate over dictionary" and nothing else. Search engines long ago gained the ability to detect heuristically that a search query was in the form of a question, and they could easily detect that this is a programming syntax question, and de-prioritize pages with 7,000+ words.

>"Sorry, no" no to what? "this article" - what article?

TFA ( https://collindonnell.com/the-xerox-smalltalk-80-gui-was-wei... ).

>Jobs came to PARC in December 1978. 4 years later was an eternity.

Not in desktop GUI land, since nobody did anything interesting commercially in desktop GUIs for those next 4 years.

And of course in those 4 years Apple started the project, designed the hardware and implemented the OS, GUI, and basic programs. Lisa actually began in 1978 itself, so it took all those years until its release in 1983. By which time they'd probably also had a look at the Star's ongoing developments.

Doesn't mean they didn't take a lot of their inspiration from that demo.

>"The Lisa end user experience wasn't that different from the Xerox Alto" -- except that the Alto had many different programs, each with their own interface, so I don't know what you're referring to.

He's referring to the GUI concepts as implemented in it (and exhibited in those programs), not necessarily some overall GUI shell or some particular individual program.

>I guess you're talking about Smalltalk, but that was a tiny part of what people at Xerox were doing. It had a negligible influence on the Star.

TFA mistakenly talks about the Smalltalk GUI as if the common understanding is that Smalltalk-80s' GUI was what Apple saw and copied from Xerox.

TFA then goes on to reject that Apple copied Xerox, because he finds that Smalltalk-80 GUI was hardly like a Desktop, but more like an IDE.

That description of Smalltalk-80 GUI is of course correct, but he missed the crucial part: people don't say Apple copied Xerox because of Smalltalk-80, but because of Alto's (and perhaps Star's) GUI concepts.

So it's not the parent who is confused, he merely replies to TFA.
Teslas don't have keys/key holes for back up?
Over 2-3 years, which isn't insignificant, and does suggest cleanings can be done less frequently, but it isn't particularly long term.

I'm curious if that still holds over say 5 years. And how does it intersect with other practices. For example are people who don't floss religiously more likely to benefit from more frequent cleanings, etc.
There was/is whitehat SEO: properly creating links to relevant content within a site, using keywords that help bots find relevant content, traversing your own site to make sure there aren't dead zones with content that will never be found.

Google should have leaned into just this small segment of tooling and done much more of a ban hammer on the bad actors. They didn't and a bunch of people have left. I use DuckDuckGo mostly and sometimes Google but never by default. I don't even like DDG that much but it's good enough.

This! It even has a fancy name to satisfy the purists.
> Do I need a &mut Option<Thing>, or an Option<&mut Thing>?

That depends on what you want. Do you want the address to a mutable Option of a Thing, or do you want an Option of an address of a mutable Thing? The mental model you have of your code should make this rather clear.
The insane amount of money spent advertising .com is only comparable to maybe the amount spent on (800).

Every time Nike puts "nike.com" on a billboard, or Coca-Cola prints "coke.com" on a bottle, that is advertising dollars spent on reminding everyone that websites are at [what you want].com.
Remember the first thing women did when they got the right to vote in the US was to ban alcohol.
But why would staying long on a web site correctly indicate the page provided the answer? Is you spent a short amount it could also indicate you found what you were looking for, and off you went.
Why yewtu.be was down: Data loss after being shut down by Oracle Cloud
My dentist had a Harley Street branch, they were expensive even for a routine check up, but they were the best I ever had, honest, didnt try to push additional treatments on to you, could discuss different treatments and they would explain the pro's and con's of the different treatments. They knew I didnt mind spending money on my teeth and it was out of my pocket not insurance schemes, but they were perfectly frank and honest which was a rarity and much valued quality.

There was no waiting around in waiting rooms, it was a top notch service in every way.

My only concern which I found out recently, was the increased used of xrays to check the teeth can increase the incidence of thyroid cancer.

Another dentist I knew who wrote their own software even said my dentist was expensive.

You get what you pay for.

Not if it is just a power LED. No circuit that I'm aware of would break if the power LED wasn't drawing power. You'd have to go out of your way to make it that way.

I'm learning perl right now and I'm bewildered at how could I overlook it for such a long time.

With all its quirks and strange design decisions (especially compared to elegant languages like ML or Scheme), it has it's own killer features I missed from other scripting languages so much, such as the ability to embed a shell command in backquotes and get its output easily.

Also the notion of context is pretty good, allowing to write a far shorter code, even sigils contribute to that naturally (in languages like bash they feel like a useless burden).
How would IPFS help here? IPFS is a data-replication utility - it doesn't work well for mutable data (eg. comments).

Forgot one step though: "invent Carl Sagan"
The UN report on the Attention Economy points out only 0.5% of content produced is consumed. And that was from 2015.

Google, Youtube, Facebook, TikTok are not going to tell content creators that.

They want everyone busy searching for an audience (to hand off to Advertisors). And everyone wants Attention. But there are not enough eyeballs. Yet the mindless marketing mega machine is still running and projecting consumption growth. Content creators are getting paid. How come? It all very similar to the subprime meltdown. There too everyone seemed to be having a good time.

The machine is so over optimized and efficient, it will get ppl to buy your book, and the majority will never have time to read it, or forget about anything in it a few days after consuming it.

Their entire shtick has been we will give you free tools, free distribution (ala free mortgages). You guys generate content. Your job is to find audience and get glory. So everyone is falling over each other producing content. But what they dont tell anyone is they cant generate new eyeballs to consume it all. So content has been exploding. How is consumption supposed to grow? The views come from getting ppl to be more and more scatter focused. Attention to anything is breaking down to the point where ppl are completely lost and overloaded by Info.

For what? To keeping selling Ads. People will keep going into debt and keep buying whatever shit the Ads tell them too.

Another promise they made was their search results and news feed will highlight the best quality content.

But anyone can see what kinds of total shit gets propped up everyday, because the platforms themselves are over run by content and spam. Cost to spam has dropped to 0 cause the tools are all free. Again all this is thanks to the need to show Ads everywhere. Every search query show an ad. Every inch of a stream show an Ad.

The majority doesn't have the eyeballs or the disposable income to keep content factories running. Its Ads. Disney's Bob Iger has said their pipelines can produce marvel level blockbusters everyday, but there are not enough ppl to pay the bill. So what to do? Look at Netflix - start showing ads.

Chat GPT et al might break the curse of ad infested news feeds and search results. And advertisers, marketers, govts and content creators are all equally effected by the breaking down of Attention. The big question is what does a new system look like where Attention isnt being exploited and Info overload is under control.
Flossing or brushing only causes bleeding for me when my gums aren't healthy. For example after getting a proper cleaning my gums won't bleed for weeks or months.

If they start bleeding again it's a sign I've not been doing a good job staying on top of keeping them healthy.
My big takeaway is his analogy of “read/write” and “read-only”. People and a society as a whole limits itself when you can’t participate in a genuine way. What comes to mind is the financial system, the political system(s), religion, and, actually, technology.

Most of it can only be consumed and rewriting the rules is hard or almost impossible.
It looks really great but I never managed to configure my two MJPEG cameras with Basic Authentication, while it works on MotionEye :(
Java has a ridiculously fast new operator. Much faster than the one in C++.

It works by allocating all or most needed memory at program start, instead of asking the operating system for it every time.
But, as soon as you don't use heap memory, and use the stack, C++ is again much, much faster than Java.

It all depends on memory management.
