Ditto. Recently moved from Pocket to Readwise and it's so much better. Readwise also supports spaced repetition for your highlights. Pocket could have been so much more. It could have surface articles I'd like using a Spotify style algorithm, it could have been so amazing, but Mozilla have killed it. I don't understand how they're so incompetent.
Species will continue going extinct. Its the anthropocene. Our mere presence at such large numbers in every ecosystem is having a huge impact and this will continue even conditioning on us using the most benign energy technology.

The "blip" refers to the fossil fuel induced climate change. Reaching sustainable equilibrium with other parts of the biosphere is still an open issue.
> Despite the common narrative to the contrary, there is no actual hard evidence of what degree humans have contributed to climate change and what will fix it. There are many theories and computer models, but no evidence.

This is blatantly false.
That depends on what you're doing. If you're running a bunch of bloated garbage like Discord and Slack and whatever then yeah, you'll need a lot of memory. If you're running mostly native apps you might be surprised how much you can run with 8GB. I would still recommend 16GB to people for future headroom, but 8GB is usable.
JavaScript being some kind of Lisp dialect with a C syntax is good IMHO. You also get some Perl inspired features in JavaScript, like the regular expression engine, and the not so user friendly array methods like slice and splice.

The DOM API is also a bit more robust than string manipulation.
WFH is the fad. Work In Office and pay for performance has been around since the Dawn of Man.
Did you quit your job? And how are you working on climate change now?

> If you are not quitting your job and working to advance the existential threat of climate change and the main driver of the catastrophe (capitalism and perpetual growth) then you are wasting your (and your children's) time.

Or did you decide to waste your time (and possibly the time of your children?)

There's absolutely no reason for benzos to be over the counter. They're extremely addictive, can have really bad side effects and contraindications, and can be fatal during withdrawal. You should be under the supervision of a physician if you're taking them.
I came to excel far after learning lots of programming languages, including those aimed at data analysis.

The only thing that comes even close for my current Excel spreadsheets use cases would be Rshiny. Interactive responsive analysis of various scenarios, with traceable computation for a very wide audience, is far better via Excel than even Rshiny, which hides all the code.

Starting with Excel is probably a great way to get to other tools. Especially when computations are straightforward and don't require the advanced stats libraries available in something like R.
Oof that won't work for me, I can't stand having 1-2 stale tabs open. It feels like clutter and I instinctively close them.
> There are problems with robots.txt if you actually try to implement it for a crawler.

Yes, although that's not what people are usually worried about.

I once tried to deal with that in Sitetruth's crawler. There are redirects at the HTTP level, redirects at the HTML level, and the HTTP->HTTPS thing. Resolving all that honestly is annoying, but possible. Sometimes you do need to look at the beginning of a file blocked by "robots.txt" to find that it is redirecting you elsewhere. It's like a door that says both "Keep Out" and "Please Use Other Door".

This is more of a pedantic problem than a real one.
Keep down-modding, Redditards. Be sure to "flag" this, assholes. Heaven forbid someone upset your pathetic, insular worldview with FACTS.
We Get Scammed and What to Do About It
Hmm. I rely mores on server-side filter rules because I don't use native Mail client.
That’s a shame. As scummy as he is those videos were excellent. Just how fast he was able to get data into excel and do things with it seemed like magic.
this inspired me on writing a new section in my project "Prompts on the outside" (https://github.com/rogeriochaves/litechain#prompts-on-the-ou...)
So basically they prefer "signing" to contracts that are poorly specified and where any disagreement (significantly moreso than a well specified contract) results in a lengthy and expensive legal process for both parties. Which is fine as long as they know what they're getting into.

Relative to say Concorde, acquisition costs and direct operating costs need to decrease and # of revenue-generating flights/time need to increase for viability. All of these point to slower speeds. If the perceived boom noise of the "quiet" supersonic designs is low enough, supersonic overland flight could potentially be permitted (NASA is trying to make this possible via this X-plane), with vastly more addressible market. Low boom limits the Mach number.
That doesn't sound like your brain doing nothing.

I'm sure the author is well aware, but Lennart Augustsson wrote a really nice blog post responding to the original "Simply Easy!" in 2007 that was a lot more fun and simple than the "Simply Easy" paper.

Disclaimer: I’m not a frontend dev so what I’m about to say might very well be nonsense, but I thought that jquery became popular not due to shortcomings in the JS language, but in the DOM API. So I think TypeScript is a very different case, as it fills a void in the language itself (lack of types). That doesn’t mean that in the future types won’t be added to the lang spec, but if that happens I think it would be very heavily influenced by TypeScript (e.g. like what happened with Hibernate and JPA).
There should be more good sites like this.
If we did that, the money would mostly go to the well off already. They’ve already got a system in place, they are already deeply into what their kids are studying. It doesn’t sound like much would improve.
I wonder if the fact that I am a lot better with Excel than the guy in the video explains why nobody talks to me at dinner parties…
In a way, the most impressive somatic genetic mutation occurs when mammalian red blood cells simply yeet everything in order to hold more hemoglobin.

I think it kind of puts things in perspective, about how much scope for change is possible for cell-lines which are destined for a narrow non-gamete purposes.

Ehr no? You'll need to also create an embedding of your query, which makes you totally dependent on OpenAI. If you swap out embedding algorithm you will have to regenerate all the embeddings as well, they might not be even the same size.

Your comment is very low on substance. Care to elaborate what kind of problems billionaires will solve, that are otherwise unsolvable?

The number of billionaire is growing and growing, and so are the fundamental problems that might be leading the world to collapse. How many more billionaires would you reckon do we need?

Some things I'd love to work on if I could make it work.

1. Food: Current farming practices emit a lot of CO2, hurts local ecosystems (nitrogen runoff), and consumes a lot of water/fertilizer. Currently proven methods could fix many of these problems.

2. Housing: Bringing modern technology to the construction of homes/apartments could dramatically lower costs. Kit homes are an example where only focusing on the tech and not the zoning/social issues doesn't improve the issues. I think realistically we could build a lot of high efficient, safe (much safer than codes require), and comfortable housing and drive down rental prices substantially while turning a huge profit (if you can sort out zoning).

3. Programming: Working in a large monorepo is amazing. Many people who work at a big tech company which has one will tell you about the amazing stuff you can do in this environment. Open source does not have one and most developers only ever see the multi-repo approach to software development. Building a parallel SWE-tooling stack which was "the monorepo of $FAANG but open source" would allow OSS devs to collaborate and build really cool things.

4. Compute: Non-profit compute infra for common good. Right now everyone is focused on decentralized apps and it's possible these are just too complicated for end users (I certainly am confused but I don't know if I'm just too old). If there was a not-profit-focused compute infra which gave out free compute/bandwidth/storage to open source public commons software that might be a good thing.
I spent ten minutes the other day trying to buy any laser hologram, and as far as I can tell the market just does not exist at all outside of "call us" pricing for science museums and such. Also doesn't help that the word "hologram" has been watered down to uselessness by competing technologies.

I have an M1 Max and while I admit that I find myself sometimes disappointed by the battery life, it’s still often getting more than three hours while I expend precisely zero effort to ensure I’m getting the most out of my limited battery life.

It’s a far cry from the 20+ hour runtimes shown during reviews of the new machines, but still good enough to cover about as long as I’d want to sit in one spot.
There's already a documentary series following Movistar (one of the team that competes in the TdF) with 2 seasons on Netflix. It was popular within cycling circles but I don't think people outside would be interested. It's kinda weird to focus so much on 1 tour when there are so many in a season, so I wonder how the series will do.

It's true that a race from the TdF won't be in the US, but I don't believe there's anything other than a lack of interest stopping UCI from having a 3 week race inside the US.

Perhaps my naїvety lies in the fact that I put this problem in the topic of the problems of the next decade, when in fact it seems to be the topic of the next century, where their competitor will be AI. But this can be solved very quickly if at least one country establishes a tax formula whereby the richer a person is, the more taxes will be paid on every dollar earned, without any exceptions for the richest. Ukraine might be that country if it ends its war not very destroyed.

A definition of "problem" bond to some actor. Here is the definition from Google with my notices: a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome (for whom?) or harmful (for whom?) and needing (for whom?) to be dealt with and overcome.

So, what kind of society/environment problems are they solving right now? Except of Bill Gates and pre-Twitter version of Elon Musk.
I know you are joking, but the divorce rate is down massively since it’s plan in the 80s.

The CDC shows the rate going from 4 per thousand in 2000 to 2.5 per thousand in 2021.

A lot of that is driven by people never getting married in the first place, but I’m still surprised at how few divorced parents I encounter as an parent myself compared to even I was a kid.

Yep. Lounge together, decompress, share the occasional thing.

Setting up an embedding alternative out of huggingface sentence transformers is fairly easy, the magical thing openai does is that they will create embedding of 8192 characters at a time while most other emerging will force you to chunk your documents in 512 characters long sequences, losing lot of context, multiplying your queries result, search times etc
There's other ways to avoid the problem. One is to just restart the whole process every so often.

Also, copies are not bad and they're often a better tradeoff than microoptimizing all your lifetimes.
Yeah, I'm not sure I would recommend somebody watch The Nautilus Story first, unless maybe they couldn't find the time or motivation to watch the full thing. Nonetheless I think The Nautilus Story is pretty cool for what it is, and perhaps even ideal for somebody who wants to rewatch Nadia but doesn't want to rewatch all of it.

For reference, The Nautilus Story clocks in at 5h30m, while the full show is something like 20 hours. So TNS is a substantial streamlining, removing a lot more than just the island episodes. But this might be what some people want.
I absolutely agree with you, I just want to point out something that affected my viewing habits: that modern tech you mention also enabled "amateurs".

I have been watching Grand Tours since I was a kid; watching together with my dad was our family ritual and I am emotionally attached to it. However, this year I was a bit busy and I did not watch Giro d'Italia. But I found time to watch content made by NorCal Cycling and The Vegan Cyclist.

I know live-streaming a huge event like Tour de France is not comparable to making videos about a personal experience and publishing them after the race. But GoPros and drones made possible videos like [1] - as a cycling fan, I find that really exciting. A talented filmmaker and storyteller (like The Vegan Cyclist, in my opinion) can make a lot of bang for the buck with them. And what is especially enticing about this kind of content is the experience of "being inside" - personal attachment to the protagonist and a lot of footage from within the peloton. And pro cycling is not very good at it yet.

Maybe that was the hole the Netflix documentary was trying to patch? I have not seen it yet. I have seen the first two seasons of "The Least Expected Day: Inside the Movistar Team" and I think that was a good idea, although they should hire someone like The Vegan Cyclist to make it interesting (BTW, I have no affiliation to the guy).

It might seem crazy that I see events like Tour de France competing with "amateurs" but those amateurs might be able to attract a lot of attention for a dollar and I already see some money going in - like The Vegan Cyclist being sponsored by Canyon and a bunch of other companies.

That sounds like the problem is the container itself contains value types rather than references, but then doesn't implement copy-on-write, which is a simple way to solve this.

I struggled a lot with Algebra, I forged my teacher's signature to not retake it for the third year in a row.

I didn't really "get" it until I started programming and learning stats. That's when it all hit me, then I went back and had to relearn what the hell they were talking about during my middle school years.

Also, once I got to Highschool math, Algebra 2 and PreCalc, it was very easy to simply memorize formulas and plug and chug.

You don't need to know Algebra to know what profit and loss is. If you want to calculate a break-even point, you look up the break-even point formula and plug in the numbers, or more commonly today, find the menu in your analysis program. None of my business classmates had any idea how to manipulate the formulas. You get a "quant" to do that for you. Yes, there are bad consequences because of this, but this is the reality of most modern businesses. People are already skipping Algebra, we just kinda let people move forward anyway.

To test it, give a highschool Algebra test randomly sampled modern workers. Don't let them study for it, pop quiz. I believe almost everyone would fail horribly if you could control for cheating.

Same story for trig, I didn't really appreciate or "get it" until I got really interested in ballistics and digital signal processing many years later.

Kids like me find Algebra, by itself, too far removed and too abstract to even begin to find value in it. I really had no idea what we were talking about most of the time. Sure you can learn some patterns and "trust" that the teachers know best, but then I go home and ask my parents, one who has a Doctoral degree in medicine, and the other a Master's in finance, when the last time they calculated an integral, or used the quadratic formula, and they say freshman year of college 40 years ago... A lot of my teachers were also full of shit and power tripping a significant amount of the time, so that didn't help build any trust either.

Thankfully, I figured out the deep beauty and power of math, but I have quite a lot of catching up to do, but my mental framework now is far more organized at mapping how all the concepts relate, and why they're valuable. I can learn more now in a few months than years of study when I was in Highschool. All because I can plug the concepts into a nice modular framework, and I can experiment with ideas in code.

Almost nobody that I knew did the same though, most of my coworkers over my 15 year career don't have the patience or curiosity to dive into this stuff. It's actually really hard to find friends who geek out about math and functional programming (expect for a few corners of the Internet, including here).

Hopefully that clarifies things, if not, I'd need to know more about your confusion.
I give it 12-24 months before AI can generate entire anime episodes.
Fossil fuel induced climate change on its own is very far from being a "blip", though. I'm not a biologist or anything, but there's not a doubt in my mind that more species have died from fossil fuel induced climate change (and fossil fuel extraction, too) than anyone can even predict the consequences of.

> What's the delta in BOM cost for a high quality display ? Maybe someone with industry knowledge can comment.

Higher quality screens are more expensive than shitty ones. It's not just the cost of the panel itself but more pixels take more power. That means more expensive driver circuitry and likely a larger battery to be able to offer a marketable battery life.

That higher power may not work in your current design's thermal envelope. A different panel may also need a redesign of the display shell, bezel, and even hinge(s). Each component might not have a significant increase in cost on the BOM but all of them together add up as does any redesigns to support the extra power usage.
IMO, this is still a failure to understand split testing. It is not to discover if changing a button color matters, but to explore the universe of all possible treatments and how they impact your most important business metrics.

It’s a global optimization problem, not a scientific way to understand how a specific change impacts users. Testers that have this mindset tend to be locally constrained and less likely to have bigger wins.
A website or app that turns exactly this question into action.

Yes. I did quit my job and am looking for climate careers actively through climatebase.org and climacareers.com (not associate with either but where I have been searching).

I have transitioned to veganism, raise the AC of my house to a very high level to where I am spending $7 per week, bought a bike to commute around the city, have stopped buying clothes and am now buying only through thrift stores, reading (and trying to educate) everyone I can on this subject.
Strip search phone call scam
It’s partially correct. I installed the Google Photos app with the intention of sharing some photos from my phone to a shared album. As far as I can tell, it is not possible to give Google Photos access to a limited selection of photos. The app just tells you to go back and give access to all photos.
My experience is that people who love writing new projects are probably not well suited for it. It means they aren't stressing over the ambiguities and long-term consequences of every single architectural decision, and thus are more likely to produce a project that immediately suffers from many technical issues, such as scaling, performance, ease of monitoring/debugging, ease of extension, ease of onboarding new maintainers, etc.

Start your project on the right foot by finding that disgruntled senior engineer and giving them ample time for design and research.
It's only recently that more than 50% of humans even live in an urban area (the home base of offices).

Most of human history has seen the bulk of humans living in rural areas within all manner of labor exchange schemes.

"Modern Capitalism" was founded with "work from home" as a significant factor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piece_work

Since the phrase 'piece work' first appears in writing around the year 1549, it is likely that at about this time, the master craftsmen of the guild system began to assign their apprentices work on pieces which could be performed at home, rather than within the master's workshop.
