"In the past decade, every branch of the U.S. military has begun to phase out sit-ups and crunches from their required testing and training regimens, or else they have made them optional, alongside more orthopedically sound maneuvers such as the plank. Spokespeople for the Army and the Marines confirmed to me that these decisions in their branches were made in part to avoid the high rates of lower-back injury found among troops training for speed sit-up and crunch tests."

My company is mandating to go 3+ times per week. Considering how empty the offices still are, I believe most people are doing like me, who goes 3 times every Thursday. Thursday is supposed to be the day everybody on the team goes, but my assigned space is far away from where the people who actually go stay, so I get to work remotely even when I'm in the office, except I can't fart whenever I want because there are other people around.

But I'll concede that for some things, being in the same room as the other person is 100% irreplaceable, especially when it comes to training and passing general knowledge.
And the one that is being built is then rented out daily on sites like AirBnB instead of monthly/yearly to locals.
You should probably give credit to Casey / Handmade Hero with regards to your windows platform code. Well its kinda scattered around, so probably just credit in general.
Could you say a few words about why you chose Qdrant for this project? It seems to me there is definitely a place in this space for a back-end focused on retrieval for LLMs that goes beyond simple vector similarity search and encapsulates other metadata creation / indexing and hybrid retrieval techniques to tackle the “false negatives” (missing context) challenge. We’re trying to decide whether leaning on something like Qdrant, Weaviate or Pinecone instead of our current Postgres / pgvector stack might be worth the cost of learning and running extra infra.
Same here.

The hosting app is terribl. To the point that there's an ecosystem of apps for managing properties, and most of the functions are just basic features that either exist or should on the Airbnb app.

The app is so bad, that I can't trust it with showing me who arrives today in the summary page, instead I go to the calendar.

And yes, I feel like they should make their PMs or designers use the hosting side of the app.
Apple provides access to photos just fine, using a different API.

Having a separate API for photo access is annoying while developing this use case, but it's appropriate for a couple different reasons: for one, if apps could access the raw files, that could reveal metadata like location. For another, filesystem access wouldn't properly handle cloud-synced photo libraries.

Perhaps photos on iOS are persisted into some sqlite-style database on the device rather than as individual files...

The Dropbox iOS app would be a good example here. It acts as a ReplicatedFileProvider so apps on the device can access your Dropbox files, but it also provides an optional config flow where users can ask for their photos to be backed up. Then, the Dropbox app fetches the photos through PhotoKit and writes the .JPEGs or .HEICs to a folder of your choosing into your Dropbox files.
Surely fast charging your car when you go on vacation a few times a year won’t put a big dent in the battery life :)
Maybe! I just think I was exactly the sort of industrial scientist who would be the market for something like CatLab.jl, or a lot of papers that intersected with my new-found industrial domain, and I just never found anything compelling. I feel like I wasted a fair bit of time trying to get anything out of it, so I’ve been left pretty skeptical of anything coming of California or Oxford.

The lenses stuff is quite good and I think it would have been well-published/cited in PL theory even without the ACT branding.
This is why I switched all my $dayjob domains to Hover years ago. They charge 15-50USD/year depending on the TLD and its fees. No bullshit, no ads, no cross-sell, friendly Canadian support.

You get what you pay for. I want my registrar to have a sustainable business model so they don’t screw me over. A domain name is a critical SPOF for any business.
not looking at actual hard cold data but it's easy for someone to come to this annedonatal conclusion. In Asheville NC my entire neighborhood is being bought up by a corporation that is doing airbnb/VRBO. Also very hard to get ahold of anyone in case of a noise complaint.

It's true ! But it's just a matter of 'fitness approach'. I never said the app was bad or even lying on its app, just that the approach is a bit ... suboptimal for beginners.

Like if someone download the app b.c. wants to do arms / pecs then this app will never tell him that squats are great in general. It's just a matter of approach.

Another approach could be "draw me a good workout with this gear" and you have the choice at most between "push" "pull" "legs" (a classic weekly split) or "general fitness" and it starts with a bunch of squats and then use the equipments.

Just food for thoughts
I have near zero marginal operating cost thanks to offline-first architecture

Why does a garage matter? You don’t need a garage to charge a car.
In high touristy areas you cannot buy a house at all at normal...ish prices, because buyers are overpaying a lot, becase they intend to rent it out via airbnb, so locals are getting pushed out of those areas.

What's so wrong with houses and apartments being for locals and long-term stay, and tourists just staying in hotels?
Getting rid of a job title doesn't mean getting rid of the work that needs doing.

Someone still has to own the "why" and the "what" of the product you're building—if it's not the PM, then it is engineering manager or design leader taking on this role.
You can fail. You can't even enlist with a score of 11 without a waiver, and that would be a sight to behold for a score that low.

Almost all of the things that ios brings with update could be done with an android app update. I have been using ios since ios 9 and my usage is exactly the same since both in ipad and iphone: swipe or search for the app you want and use it.

I would be more concerned about security updates though. What percentage of ios and android have all security updates released say t-7 days before applied?
// social interactions with hotel employees far more exhausting

Jeez how much are you socializing with the employees that you find it exhausting?
No, I subscribed for a year at full price, and immediately cancelled the recurring payment. I’m learning Japanese, and this looks neat, and like I said, I don’t mind paying for things. I also don’t expect unlimited feature development either, but I just feel like for offline apps like this, subscription models are terrible, and I just really hate that they have become so prevalent. In my ideal world, a one time payment unlocks all new features and bug fixes for the next year, and then if there are new features I find exciting enough, I can pay for an upgrade to get all the new features for the next year, and if not, I can still keep all the existing features anyways. This accomplishes your goal of sustainable development, while also accepting that at some point, if you run out of ideas for new features, people get to keep the existing features, and you don’t have to feel bad about stopping development and moving on to other things.
There’s a reason why Airbnb is paying for as many LoveFrom billable hours as they can.

Releasing supported SDKs is expensive as hell.

If anyone insists on forcing me to run myself into penury and put myself in legal jeopardy, just to support my competitors, then I would close up shop.

However, Apple has a wee bit more clout than I do. I suspect that it would not happen.
Any narration for the stories? That's the killer feature of Satori Reader for me. I'm fairly sure they hire voice actors, but from what I understand, Japanese text-to-speech is fairly robust.
This is gonna be a fiasco similar to when apple forced their own maps on everyone and subsequently had to backtrack with an apology. Apple maps is very good now but not when it released.

They made the mistake of taking away an existing feature before releasing something better and then deprecating the legacy stuff.
Hi, I’m an overpaid UX engineer and I assure you I’m abysmal at the politics of decision making. What I’m good at—exceptional even—is predicting, in advance, before a single line of code is written, whether a given UI idea will “work”; whether users will love/hate/tolerate/be indifferent about it. If I was good at the politics too, I’d be running the place.

I was able to get ChatGPT 4 to attempt to summarize this, but it's almost entirely hallucinated.

>As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the book "The Ruby of Kishmoor" is not a standalone title I am aware of. However, it is a short story by Howard Pyle which is part of his collection titled "Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates."

Ruby of Kishmoor is not part of the Book of Pirates and is in fact a standalone title.

>"The Ruby of Kishmoor" is an adventure tale centered on the protagonist, Jonathan Rugg. Rugg, an honest Quaker clothier from Philadelphia, sets out to sea to recover his lost wealth. On his journey, he is captured by pirates who force him to sign their articles and join their crew.

He is not captured by pirates. It proceeds to summarize a long pirate story and says the story concludes with him becoming extremely wealthy because he escapes with the ruby and sells it.

The summary it gave you also does not seem to match the plot of the book.

Since the GP's point seems to be that having the contents of a book does not mean the model is capable of properly summarizing it, and thus supports the idea that being able to summarize something is not evidence of it containing the thing being summarized in it's dataset.
AirBnB isn't the only factor in rising rent costs, but it's pretty evident that it's a contributing factor:

"AirBnB has increased the median long term rent in New York City by 1.4% in the last three years, resulting in a $380 rent increase for the median New York tenant" [https://www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/files/newsroom/channels/attac...]

"When demand is inelastic, even relatively small changes in housing supply can cause significant changes in the cost of housing.10 This intuition is clearly validated in a number of careful empirical studies looking precisely at the effect of Airbnb introduction and expansion on housing costs." [https://www.epi.org/publication/the-economic-costs-and-benef...]

"At the median owner-occupancy rate zipcode, we find that a 1% increase in Airbnb listings leads to a 0.018% increase in rents and a 0.026% increase in house prices. Considering the median annual Airbnb growth in each zipcode, these results translate to an annual increase of $9 in monthly rent and $1,800 in house prices for the median zipcode in our data, which accounts for about one fifth of actual rent growth and about one seventh of actual price growth" [https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3006832]
Yes, I much prefer that and I'm probably not in the minority.

This arrangement lands itself especially well on educational apps - you would buy a "module", master it, progress, buy next one, rinse and repeat. If you stall, that's your problem, the $ waste is limited and you can always backtrack and re-learn without paying again. Just like with textbooks.
There are observers in all probabilities of the experiment, but each observer only observes their world because decoherence interferes with the superposition of the other worlds. Worlds being the entanglement of the entire experimental setup spreading to everything else.
What if the answer (to a gap) is in another field, where you have no interest and no aptitude?

Should you force yourself to learn that field for years to get to the good stuff?

Or, stop at the extent of your aptitude and interest?

This interaction is a cost, and you pay. I like mine cheap.
Very cool! I enjoy listing to music in spatial audio formats… more immersive than stereo and takes advantage of a setup I put some effort into. Up mixing works ok-ish, but native is better. Sometimes the 3D stuff is a gimmick, and I understand why some people see it as a money grab.
I’ve only really gotten into Brian Eno in the last year or so. I think his music is a great candidate for this format. It’s electronic first, and already conceptualized as a soundscape. Look forward to listening to this!
Took some digging, but it looks like these are already up on streaming services. The Atmos mixes are listed as stand-alone albums on Tidal. I found 9 Atmos albums there.. big remastering job!

oh that's a bummer, didn't know that killed the examples and links to the font files :(

I just created a new issue and uploaded a zip file of their fonts to their Github: https://github.com/aftertheflood/sparks/files/12009401/AtF.S...

BTW - You'll be set back to free tier for doing it that way (edit: ah I misunderstood, thanks for the support)

There is still a server component with continuous server operations (the app is offline-first, not entirely offline), as well as for community functionality with flashcards, it sounds like you'd like these operational costs to be more obvious to you? If the usage necessitates an operational cost, you're satisfied with recurring payment?

I appreciate your viewpoint but will first offer a 'free subscriber' affordability option for this concern before I consider adding tiers of gating to feature rollouts or versioned paid upgrade tiers for functionality. I will also add more data exports for portability.
The incentive structure of the PM role is to pump out new features when a lot of the time making something more reliable or easier to use has more user value. Design and Engineering should jointly take on this role
I think the majority of sports watchers don't care about politics.

That's how long it takes before the person who signed off on it has moved to another job and made the product someone else's problem. At that point the new person will usually kick off a new project because the old one is bad and releasing a new product is better for their chances of promotion

That's what I'm saying. I don't really mean never, but I don't see why we have good reason to believe we'll reach that threshold this millenium.

This isn't about a QM interpretation, rather it's about a non-quantum model of gravity with some features that would make it distinguishable in principle from any quantum gravity.

Edit: I maybe semi take this back, it actually may be the case that this particular weird model of gravity would provide a way to distinguish between the interpretations of QM because of how grossly it violates the usual assumptions of QM. It seems too implausible for me to really dig into but I don't entirely grok how they propose melding the proposed inherent but non-quantum randomness with the rest of quantum physics in a way that still makes things line up well in the face of observation/collapse (or the equivalent in many-worlds). They might lean enough on assumptions about how that happens to break the observational equivalence?
Why would you buy groceries every day? Usually, where I live, people who need more than a backpack of groceries have a small rolling bag, with enough space to fit a week's worth of groceries for a family of 3-4. I buy groceries for a week for 2 people on a large backpack.

Public transit is just great overall, being able to walk to get basic day-to-day needs is pretty sweet as well. I seriously do not understand this argument, and I've lived in Brazil, USA, and Sweden, it's simply a non-issue when mass transit is dependable, well-connected, and available.

Speaking for myself and my coworkers, the numbers required for software engineers to pass will need to be set differently.
Part of the reason I've been working on this is that the "distribute" step is quite difficult to do at scale across an ever changing set of operating systems and devices. Using a free public CA like Let's Encrypt let's you avoid that challenge since it's trusted out of the box everywhere.

> for interfaces (as if those were a different thing)

Interfaces are a different thing than inheritance, precisely because of what we are talking about. Inheritance is about code re-use, and interfaces are about polymorphism. Interfaces are the polymorphism part of "inheritance", while dropping the code re-use part.

It is true that composition does not give you polymorphism, absolutely.

> because the only thing composition solves is code reuse.

Exactly. Inheritance combines polymorphism and code re-use in one form. If you instead don't have inheritance, than interfaces (or something similar by a different name; or "duck-typing" if you don't have static typing and also don't really want any kind of typing at all) give you polymorphism, so what gives you code re-use? Composition.

If you split the code re-use function from the inheritance function, interfaces plus composition is the (or one very common/obvious) solution.

I don't think we are disagreeing, I mean to show you we are all violently agreeing. :)
The times I might use pocket I almost always definitively prefer using httrack.... And the rest I just save a copy of the site to a file....
I dunno dude, if you want to save the tab but it gets forgotten if you save it then it probably wasn't all that important. I'd argue that most folks that save tabs or thrive on tab bloat are doing themselves a major disservice and are overly invested in passing fancies rather than meaningful consumption they purport.
