There was a competition between F-16 and Grippen :)
After a quick look the documentation is excellent: tells me clearly what it does, how, and why!
A messaging system without user identifiers is something I had wondered about, why it hadn't been done as far as I knew.
There is plenty of blame to go around. The writing for new shows is predicable and boring. Actors are featureless blobs that all look the same. Movies and shows seem to be eye-rollingly preachy and talk down to audiences. The whole industry is due for a sharp correction.
Oh no, maybe, but I would have no way to fix it. The run is literally from one side of the condo to the other, probably through the ceiling or floor. Or it's wired wrong, (and I lost my LED blinker somewhere :( )
because it's like 5Gb/s down and 1Gb/s up. Which is odd...
(2022) article. Interestingly, a lot has changed in just under 9 months in the AI world. GPT 4 has come and it's actually an AI crunch, not a gain. I wrote in another post I submitted but the gist is that bootstrapped startups and incumbents will be the true winners while VC backed startups won't, because there is no moat in AI to defend their high valuations.

> Most people don't go to the theater (or even stream) to watch "quality," they go for entertainment.

A tell-tale sign of a decadent society where people are depressed and unfulfilled, more interested in escape from life than engagement with life because everything they might live for is compromised in the name of profit at the expense of everything else.

I don't know what point you think you're making, but it's not helpful and there is nothing about this that anybody should be proud of.
Thanks for the detailed answer :) I am still very unable to ignore the things I can't control which is likely my main problem. I think the small house soon to be off grid part may be a very good way to take a step back... It's way too easy to focus on absurd human behaviours in rather dense areas.
Don’t forget the terrible sound mixing where the dialogue is inaudible while the sound effects and music are blaring.
it's just wrong though, the reason why people are rich is that they have more income streams by producing more valuable things, not consuming less.

It's a nice idiom to have when you use labour to trade for income and your income doesn't increase by your efforts but the reason why people are rich is more based on their production than their consumption.

The analogy makes sense for middle class folk though, but a rich person will stay rich regardless of what they buy as long as their production output is stil desirable.
>I did install OpenSUSE and immediately removed it after I encountered the same problem.

If you uninstalled it immediately because you don't like the defaults, I suspect Linux might be an operating system you wish to avoid entirely.
I disagree with most of those but even if they were true, all of those would still be the fault of the studio bosses.

Actors all look the same? You bet they do, we market tested the top five male face shapes and we make sure every actor’s face is modelled on the most popular.

Writing derivative? You bet! Our customer surveys said they love that curly haired kid from Stranger Things! That’s why he’ll be the lead character in three separate Stranger Things spin-offs.
I just ordered a Bosgame Ryzen 3 Mini PC (U32) with 8GB DDR4 RAM and a 256GB M.2 drive for $160 USD. And it comes with Windows 11. I'm blown away by how much you can get for so little these days.
Inflation? Devaluation of the dollar? Debt? Current interest rates?
It's not just about performance, but also safety and ergonomics. Since true coroutines[1] offer predictable scheduling, their behavior with regards to data races and deadlocks is also more predictable.

If programmers try to manually implement iterators, generators and interleaved state machines with their own goroutines and channels, it's not just performance that suffers - there is too much room for error.

[1] I'm using the qualifier "true" here, since many modern languages (such as Python, Kotlin) use the term "coroutines" for something that is more like Go's Goroutines than Lua's coroutines. Unlike Go, they are not preemptible, but they are (at least by default) implicitly resumed when necessary by some scheduler, and they may execute on different kernel threads and switch contexts.
This isn't reassuring, it's depressing. God we truly are cursed aren't we? Being born into this meat grinder is not worth it and we are unlucky to be here.
FOSS absolutely does have an effect on how your movement is organized and if you depend on it it can be an accelerator.

But FOSS doesn't create some kind of socialist utopia as some people seem to believe. It does something much more mundane yet infinitely more valuable in our fractured modern world: it unites bitter enemies and gets them to collaborate.

Look at the contributors to the Linux kernel, which even includes Microsoft now. It's hard to imagine any other force which could unite all those people and businesses under a common cause. But thanks to the GPL, even as their wars with each other continue they are all contributing resources to the public good.

It's so popular these days to flame and dehumanize the other side of any debate but all that does is destroy. FOSS builds and extends humanity's common heritage. It won't win the war for you but it will redirect your energies into creation and ensure that you leave something good behind.
I don't think it's even that. Everyone has been burned by companies that charge for quality and provide less service than the cheapest option. See fast fashion. See Amazon scam reviews. My parents just had a window break- a skylight spontaneously shattered and got glass all over their kitchen. The warranty, a 20 year affair, had specific provisions for "spontaneous shattering" that covered the only way windows fail- and specially disclaimed the important selling point of safety glass, that it doesn't shatter into pieces that get everywhere - safety glass is supposed to stay in one piece, even when it spontaneously shatters. A crumply singular piece is far safer than being showered with shards of glass. Thank goodness nobody was home.

Fraud is the fastest growing sector in America, and until there are daily executions for fraud, we will not be getting better.

Not really, where exactly am I going to get dragons in real life?
If it runs Unix is isn't a mainframe.

Only half joking.
Why is it a bad idea?

I live in a dense European city, and the other day I was driving down a busy road at a certain time of day, and was made to undergo a breathalyzer, along with anyone else going the same route.

If I'd failed the test, would I have been the subject of injustice?

After all it would probably be true that had I been driving drunk I'd likely have gotten away with it if I was driving in a more rural area.

Now, in the case of the article an AI system accurately predicted a crime being committed.

So, to extend that to my example: If the police hadn't tested me at all, because they could have used some AI system to spot that I wasn't driving like a drunk person, we'd all be ... worse off?

Surely such systems could benefit everyone. They'd be better at ignoring the law-abiding, and be more effective at catching criminals.
Surely the point was that the difference between internal regions of the EU and USA are much higher than that between the averages. Someone worried about lifespan in either would do much better to look at local outcomes and the reasons for them (c.f. figuring out why Latvia lags the France, or what's wrong in Alabama that Massachusetts is so far ahead) than it is to dither over what the people across the ocean are doing.
There is literally nothing in Seattle between Paine field and Boeing field in the main I5 corridor if you don’t count sea planes (all the airport symbols along the lake are float planes, Boeing field, SeaTac, and Renton are all basically right next to each other). It is a pretty air strip dead zone, you had to go all the way out to Arlington to mention another one (they have a nice playground next to it that the kid likes to watch planes from)! And ya, the boonies have landing strips everywhere (like the one out near Snohomish used for sky diving).
The Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer
Yeah the Greek here is (Il. 6.486):

δαιμονίη μή μοί τι λίην ἀκαχίζεο θυμῷ:

δαιμονίη is of disputed meaning, but basically a literal translation might run:

Possessed woman, don’t be so upset in your heart for me.

Here Lattimore doesn’t look so good.
"Oppenheimer did not regret what he did at Los Alamos; he understood that you cannot stop curious human beings from discovering the physical world around them. One cannot halt the scientific quest, nor can one un-invent the atomic bomb. But Oppenheimer always believed that human beings could learn to regulate these technologies and integrate them into a sustainable and humane civilization. We can only hope he was right."
Panem et circenses has been around a long time, it's not a new concept that you're implying. People like entertainment, which is sometimes but not always a proxy for quality. We can deny that at our peril or accept that that's what the majority of people like and cater to them. That's what studios do now, whether we artsy media watchers like it or not.
What does the opposite of it mean?

Where you get extremely heightened sense of smell?

Because you know how covid made many people lose their sense of smell, many permanently?

It did the reverse to me, it made my sense of smell exponential. I've only read a couple stories of other people having this problem.

It's not a good thing. The world smells horrible. Way way before I can even hear the garbage truck I can smell it blocks away. Even if a street is empty early in the morning I can smell when someone has been there recently smoking cigarettes or other.

It's like some kind of fight or flight survival instinct or adaptation is triggered by the immune system.
You’re just creating FUD. Can you instead be more specific?
It's funny cause those talks happened when labor was relatively cheaper, similar with the "we'll just replace fast food workers with robots."

Now that labor is even less readily available we're talking about it... less. And that's even off that back of low interest rates and easier money for such initiatives.
Perhaps language change was bad wording, I guess I meant paradigm change encouraging? Just look at this func signature and first line...

> func Pull[V any](push func(yield func(V) bool)) (pull func() (V, bool), stop func()) {

> copush := func(more bool, yield func(V) bool) V {

The main power of Go to me was always quickly being able to read and understand code. This type of coding has a lot of cognitive load to a reader, I feel.
…did you just say Europe, the literal birthplace of fascism, took it less farther than the US?
You (usually) don't use an Arduino in production, you take the ATMEGA chip, or in this case an ESP32 and you make your own custom board from it.
Yeah, I played that day and solved it.
If the semantics were the same, you wouldn't need a replacement and all your proposed changes would have no observable effect on the behavior of any program.
I’m surprised the web site does not say which rockets this will fit in.
Maybe the reason the app installation is prevented via the store is that whether it works or not is device-dependent, and Google decided that it preferred not letting people install it at all rather than allow people if they couldn't be sure it would work (or try to figure out which devices it would or wouldn't work on beforehand and then have to keep that data around)
For this purpose you're not measuring growth but rather comparing it against someone else who uses a different currency.
It's fairly good at doing mock ups if you give it the right prompts and add keywords such as "behance" and so on.
Much like going 5 or 10 over speed limit, it's a risk he's willing to make. I much prefer someone driving a sketchy car because he's having fun than someone who doesn't really know how to drive safely in a modern SUV. Turns out they both are dangerous but one of them is aware of the dangers and how to mitigate them.
The USENET Guide to Power Posting (1988)
Can you buy a spare part for your $90 mower if it breaks?
This comment thread seems to be getting out of touch with reality. Marijuana use via smoking has been declining relative to vaporization and consumption of edibles. Rather than complications of smoking, I'd say the biggest risks are inexperienced users consuming way too much in one session and not being able to handle it. I don't know what young people are being taught now, but I hope drug education programs create the understanding that too much THC in the system is incompatible with operating heavy machinery, driving, anything risky, etc.
Bingo. I knew I wasn't hallucinating. Specific CitS comparison at around 4:00.
Preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
If you hate your 914 so much, just give it to me. I’ll fix the windows at least.
It's such a great service. Can't really believe it's just one person maintaining it essentially as a public service given that it's quite expensive to run (based on a post I read in the last year or two).

Basically all my techie and non-techie friends use it -- hoping that he finds a way to make it sustainable so that it sticks around! It's a much nicer experience than waybackmachine imo, at least for my use cases
Try to be more succinct, please.

I find it easy to say that not drinking is a conscious choice. I think it's much harder for you to argue that drinking this much, but not that much, is a conscious choice. Obviously neither of our choices are made in a vacuum.

Alcoholism is not a disease. It's a description of behaviour, often abused as an explanation of behaviour. Drinking to excess is obviously socially motivated in most cases, I don't think I have to argue that? Either way, if you look up the catalog definitions of addiction/alcoholism it's easy to see they're socially relative - many of the criteria are effectively about whether society has a problem with your drinking/behavior. And if they drink more themselves, they'll probably have less of that.
I’d like to see a European brick and mortar house survive a Magnitude 8 earthquake, which is a requirement in San Francisco. The US used to have lots of brick and mortar construction, just like Europe. After those buildings were all destroyed by strong earthquakes, they switched to steel and wood, which can survive a strong earthquake. Europe style construction is not allowed in much of the US because it demonstrably isn’t safe.
The sidewalk way exists in some places.

12.0200112_e = e+2+2/e^2+e^-5+e^-6+2e^-7 = 4.99999285804.....

The reason people are still rich is the same reason nobody would watch sports if they didn’t reset the score at the end of each game.

“Today the New York Yankees will play the Montreal Expos. Our game begins with the Yankees having a score of 79,613 runs and the Expos having a score of 12,177 runs.”

If this is how baseball worked how much energy do you think the Yankees would spend recruiting a hot new pitcher versus starting one of the owners kids?
>The writing for new shows is predicable and boring. Actors are featureless blobs that all look the same

I would argue this is a symptom of the money men exerting too much control over entertainment. Everything has to be safe and neutered, every investment has to be as sure as possible. This isn't down to writers, there's interesting writing going on, you just won't see it come out of the big studios unless it's a smaller subsidiary.
> they definitely want to bet on that as the future and I'm not sure what leverage actors and writers have, honestly

The fact that AI is by definition just going to create recycled, derivative content. If the industry replaces writers and actors with AI it’ll be their demise because audiences will get very, very bored very quickly.
The thing about software is it's remarkably cheap in the grand scheme of things. To choose two random modern examples, Signal and Lemmy both got their start with a little bit of funding from nonprofits. Signal then basically funded its bills with a Whatsapp consulting contract and now it pays for a CEO that goes around doing prime TV appearances where she shoots down politicians who are trying to rob you of your freedom. That's a hell of a story arc.
Indeed, it reminds me of the Witcher show, where Cavill left due to the writers literally having disdain for the actual source material and were just using the show's setting as a backdrop to push their own entirely disconnected stories.
Practice makes something permanent. Wether that is perpetual perfection or perpetual mediocrity depends on the person.

The average person could practice violin for 500 years and never be invited to play Carnegie Hall.
Just end stage capitalism. At least these professions have balls and organization, something Silicon Valley is just barely comprehending as necessary when the good times run out
I absolutely love the fact that new apps for Mac OS 9.x have been released in 2023. The classic Mac community has been a lot of fun.
> Surely a vehicle operator would have reduced response time with the increased cognitive load to any divergent situation

Maybe. I would think it more plausible that a vehicle that requires the operator to actively engage in its operation would, well, keep the operator engaged, and therefore their overall reaction time would likely be faster than a typical driver.

> and be placing other's lives at risk by not having their equipment maintained to an expected performance standard.

> Not to mention the lack of braking, and lack of things like crumple zones etc, plus feeling light headed from engine fumes and poor ventilation.

I'd bet that all of that adds up to less endangering of others than the mass and size of today's popular vehicles.

> I don't understand ignoring the fact that you are exposing unconsenting members of the public to an increased risk of injury or death because of your interest in old technology. I don't understand accepting the freedom of that choice when it exposes unconsenting others to more risk just for your own personal interest.

I take it you don't understand the legality of driving cars on the public road at all then? In fairness neither do I, but if you figure that one out then this one will likely follow.

> I can't help but harshly judge the author for their reckless decisions because the car isn't restricted to a closed course and can severely impact others lives simply because they enjoy the thrill of it.

Fun is the one thing that justifies everything else we do. While I agree that it's bad to endanger other people, IMO fun is a much better reason than simple carelessness or keeping up with the joneses.
i can't make heads or tails of that graph.

i was hoping to get something that would tell us like...who has emitted the most carbon?

and maybe who is emitting the most carbon on an annual basis today?

and then, both of those measures adjusted to be sum total, regardless of population size.

and then maybe separate out the small countries that are really just owned by other countries, so can't set their own policies.
What had stuck in my mind when I'd read of his work some years back was his idea of "second order desires", wanting to have the desire for X even if you don't have the desire for X (e.g. for healthy food), and how having these second order desires can be seen as a form of free will--without second order desires, you are simply driven by your first order desires (like an animal).

Just googled it for a refresher and found this[1] comprehensive but readable explanation of the above idea. The obituary refers to it briefly as well.

Tales From Earthsea was a passable Le Guin adaptation with some wonderful visual moments... but From Up on Poppy Hill is just drop-dead gorgeous. It's not a spectacle, but it's just amazingly visually rich, and tugs at every heart-string you have, to boot. I love it.
Is it really fair to say the rich “produce” anything? Having multiple income streams doesn’t at all imply you produce anything whatsoever - some people are born into money, some earned it in the past, every now and again someone wins the lottery.

I’m not saying the wealthy never make anything of value, but rather that wealth is not necessarily correlated to “output” of any kind.
This is a thoroughly interesting topic. Thanks for the article.

I haven't thought much about iterators link to coroutines.

As a hobby, I am working to write about a dream programming language. I happen to be really interested in parallelism, asynchronous, coroutines, multithreading and concurrency.

I want:

* seamlessly switch between remote-thread coroutine, local thread coroutine.

* concurrency and parallelism and async to be easy to think about, reason about, read and program

* programs should be easy to parallelise and be async and concurrent

Go iterators seem to be local to a thread, but what if you want to distribute work across threads?

I've been thinking of scheduling recently.

Imagine you're a search engine company and you want to index links between URLs. How would you solve this with coroutines?

task download-url
for url in urls:
download(url)

task extract-links
parsed = parse(document)
return parsed

task fetch-links
for link in document.query("a")
return link

task save-data
db.save(url, link)

How would you do control flow and scheduling and parallelism and async efficiently with this code?

* `db.save()`, `download()` are IO intensive whereas `document.query("a")` and `parse` is CPU intensive.

* I want to handle plurality or multiple items trivially such as multiple URLs and multiple links.

* I want to keep IO and CPU in flight at all times.

I think I want this schedule:

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1983701/254083968-...

I have a toy 1:M:L 1 scheduler thread:M kernel threads:N lightweight threads lightweight scheduler in C, Rust and Java

https://github.com/samsquire/preemptible-thread

This lets me switch between tasks and preempt them from user space without assistance at descheduling time.

I have a simplistic async/await state machine thread pool in Java. My scheduling algorithm is very simple.

I want things like backpressure, circuit breakers, rate limiting, load shedding, rate adjustment, queuing.
It's also become very trendy to be "polyamorous" over there. I think part of it sort of fits with the culture where there are a lot of people constantly arriving in and leaving the city, and even people making a lot of money have to have roommates because housing is so expensive. It means there aren't a lot of people looking for anything long-term.
LTO isn’t always going to inline things you want it to inline, that’s the main issue I have with it.
