Hey - this looks like a great project. Congratulations for getting to this point.

I'm UK Based. I'm looking for a consumer facing replacement for (https://www.timeline.co/) which is buggy and not really meant for non Financial Advisors.

Kicking the tyres of this I'm running into an issue - not sure if this is a forum for bug reports/issues - if you'd prefer it elsewhere (discord?) I'm happy to do that. I've entered my data but my plan is cratering into bankruptcy long before it should.

There are various questions I have about this but for starters, looking at the 'Cashflow' tab it seems that the two 'Assets' (property) that I entered (Fully Owned) seem to be automatically incurring yearly recurring fees. I already accounted for the various charges associated with these properties in my yearly expenses (1 catchall of 'general') but it seems that these assets rather than contributing to my NW are detracting from it by causing yearly expenses in the region of ~3.5% of the value of the asset.

We don't have 'property taxes' in the UK, but this aside I seem to be unable to edit these properties in any way (when I entered them I was able to set estimated yearly appreciation of the asset value - but no way to edit the tax on them at the point on entry and no way to edit anything else relating to them within the 'Assets' tab of 'Current Finances').

Happy to help any debugging and contribute as this looks like a really solid project.
Sure, you could state my comment is partially ad hominem.

To clarify, saying "there's nothing else there" about Elon Musk, or any great inventor, or even a great villain, I consider too vacuous itself to merit a more pointed response. You don't get to have your thoughts being discussed 24/7 on an intellectual forum without being a bit resourceful.

The comment I replied to said: "Plus vendor compilers often outperform GCC and LLVM… on Cray systems especially".

I said "Can Julia take advantage of that?". So the "that" in my question was "vendor compilers [which] often outperform GCC and LLVM... on Cray systems especially".

It seems like the answer is, no, Julia cannot be compiled with those vendor compilers that often outperform LLVM.

But it seems that Julia nonetheless has been shown to perform well, just not specifically by using those vendor compilers that I was asking about.

There are words that are added to drive the point in multiple ways, ease into it, and make the text more engaging.

And there are words that are added to add empty padding, keep up academic pretenses, and appear smart.

The post could have been condensed, but it would lose the former, not the latter.

Similarly to the unicycle stopping problem, panic stopping a Onewheel also doesn't seem possible without having room perpendicular to the direction of travel. I tried it in a demo arena but it didn't seem safe except for low speed travel on very large sidewalks* with space on all sides. Downtown streets seem too iffy to attempt, limiting its versatility. Unicycle-ish travel is great if you have the balance for and room to do it.

I’m on my phone, so no code sample, but put a choice regex in a variable and loop with .exec(), emitting that text surrounded by span tags into an array that you then join(). It’s really almost a one or two line script.
Are you asking "why would you have bothered to look at"?

The "how" is pretty straightforward.
Not to mention all the combustion engines that already exist around the world. Just look at the prevalence of motor bikes in India and Southeast Asia. Can we really replace all of them with electric tech? Synthetic fuels or ethanol are a drop in replacement.
> You'll see a huge number of them because everyone has the output power on their router set to the max value.

None of these people are firmware developers. They used the setting that existed from the factory in their router or in something they downloaded from the internet, and in the vast majority of cases it wasn't even the second one.

> If WifiBoost.exe could in tease that output power enough people would do it that WiFi or Bluetooth in some places would be completely unusable.

Then WifiBoost.exe would be illegal and the developers would be subject to penalties.

It would also be ineffective, because you can't remove interference by increasing power. The "highest allowable power" setting is often the default because it gives the best range, and the purpose of allowing it to be set at all is so that the user can reduce interference at the expense of range by lowering the power level so fewer devices are overlapping.

It's hard to get people to avoid doing illegal things when breaking the law benefits them. It's not that hard when breaking the law is pointless and maladaptive regardless of whether or not they get caught.

It's notable that there have existed routers with completely open firmware and there is no epidemic of ordinary users installing shady firmware on them to violate regulatory limits. There is likewise full software defined radio hardware on the market, for which a license is required to transmit but not to buy it. Applying a different standard to consumer hardware which is available to exactly the same set of people makes no sense.

> With an SDR the hardware plus software is considered the "device" for licensing purposes. If it supported unlocked or modifiable firmware it couldn't be easily/at all sold as a Part 15 device. It would be a different class of device and would require the end user to have a license to operate it.

I'm not arguing about what the law currently is but rather about what it ought to be.

But I also think your analogy is flawed. If the manufacturer sells a device with a potentiometer whose maximum setting was within the regulatory range, or with a fixed power output, and then the user modifies the device to install one that can increase the power output, that should be on the user. So why is it different if the user modifies the device to install firmware that increases the power output?

You're essentially arguing not that the device can't include a potentiometer, but that the case has to be sealed so the user can't install one.

Which in turn prevents the user or any other third party from repairing the device or supporting it past when the vendor stops caring about it, inducing widespread security vulnerabilities as users commonly continue to use operational devices even after the hardware vendor stops issuing updates.
Oof, no. I had a Vespa-style electric scooter for a few years and I felt much safer riding it than any Razor scooter.

The Razor scooters have tiny wheels that will flip over even on the tiniest pothole and you'll end up scraping your skin off flying into the road, and possibly smash your face into the ground as well. They also occupy a weird middle ground of being dangerously fast for the sidewalk and dangerously slow for the road.
These are really fantastic! His 'Learn how the Internet works' series is also worth to mention.
electric has been a team effort, developed primarily by Geoffrey, Peter and especially Leo of https://github.com/leonoel/missionary who is the lead developer.

the thing predating Electric is in prod at a series B startup, a series A startup is going live with a prod support app in a few weeks, and a seed stage startup is planning a rewrite of a consumer facing productivity tool onto electric after serious evaluation. Plus many serious POCs i’ve seen maybe 2-3 dozen repos this summer. (we only see them when they have a question)
The same was with Privacy Sandbox;
Result: billions of device now happily adopted it (by force).
I tested on a Zen 3 Epyc and wasn't able to get the POC to work, so I think it probably is just Zen 2.
What about it is very bold? The instruction sequence mentioned seems pretty reasonable and not at all out of the question for a JavaScript JIT to generate.
Oh yeah? In NYC in the early 2000’s we used crude little close circuit TV things.

Anyone remember the Remote Lounge?
Bit of a tangent, but those .app 'files' are directories. I wish other OSs supported something like that.

Those APE executables (e.g. redbean) are the closest I've seen that work widely.

It honestly boggles the mind that the same company I used to respect twenty years ago has morphed into the evil monster that is modern Google. A tragic fall from grace.
You need the technology in place to deal with the fact that solar and wind are not demand-based systems (so, basically, storage). That goes beyond the generation cost, and prevents switching even if generation cost is far lower.
As someone learning Python, but having worked with other languages, I think your second example is better as it reads more like English. I think that simplicity actually ends up much more rewarding when it comes to reading code.
I love how, now that Twitter (sorry, 𝕏) is incredibly unreliable and glitchy, they want to move into banking of all things.

Sign me up! I can't wait to have all my money accidentally zeroed out because the one remaining software engineer introduced a bug in prod.

Winter is not only worse for solar because the sun is less intense, but also because its cloudier.
co2 is pretty valuable as feedstock. If you burn it , you can recover the potassium and phosphorus to reseed the next batch.

Was it warm in the North Atlantic in the 1840s winters? Shellfish will keep for a few days to a week at refrigeration temperatures, 31 hours seems feasible at least several months a year in this hypothetical scenario.
While I don't love this API's idea, I understand why they're doing it, and the API it describes really just sounds like any Captcha API today.

> Google's plan is that, during a webpage transaction, the web server could require you to pass an "environment attestation" test before you get any data. At this point your browser would contact a "third-party" attestation server, and you would need to pass some kind of test. If you passed, you would get a signed "IntegrityToken" that verifies your environment is unmodified and points to the content you wanted unlocked. You bring this back to the web server, and if the server trusts the attestation company, you get the content unlocked and finally get a response with the data you wanted.

The problem with Captchas today is that there are a lot of services you can use to bypass them. You send the token to a human, human gives you the solution-token, and you pass that to Google.

I can see why they want to make this more protected. As a user, if this lets me solve captchas less for certain sites, I'm OK with that. Of course, I don't think this API should be used for the entire web, but I definitely understand its use-case.
The perception that ADHD is nothing more than the inability to "sit still and pay attention" is very wrong and very out of date. Before you comment further I would strongly recommend you watch a series presented by one of the leading researchers in neurological basis of ADHD, Dr. Russell Barkley, called "ADHD: "The 30 Essential Ideas Every Parent Needs to Know" [1].

I struggled with many of these things -- primarily time blindness, executive function and impulsiveness -- for most of my almost six decade life, and finally understanding what was happening -- and getting help for it -- has been life-changing.

As one friend put it, he would cut off his left testicle if it meant having working executive function. The idea that I -- and friends and acquaintances who share similar experiences -- are faking it is ignorant and insulting. That you do not suffer is a gift; be grateful. Maybe don't be so dismissive of the struggles and suffering of others.

> Exactly how the rest of the world feels about this is not necessarily relevant, though. Google owns the world's most popular web browser, the world's largest advertising network, the world's biggest search engine, the world's most popular operating system, and some of the world's most popular websites. So really, Google can do whatever it wants.

This is the point that company breakups start to make a lot of sense.

When Google can do something that every one of it's users hates and none of us can do anything about it, they perhaps have too much market power.
> The last US fatal accident was 14 years ago ... which just goes to show how incredibly safe this all is.

This isn’t quite true, there was that poor woman sucked out of the Southwest flight in 2018. But your broader point is 100% correct.
Thanks. Helpful.
A lot of USAF pilots flew gliders at the USAF Academy, or as cadets in Civil Air Patrol. At some point in their career, they become airline pilots. It would be similar for the RCAF.
It's an incredible hubris to pretend to gatekeep the whole Internet. Google´s being doing a pretty hansome profit, maybe not the meteoric rise they were used to before 2020, but still nothing to warrant such desperate measures to secure future profits.
Not depressing, but inspiring. So many great architectural ideas can be made accessible to millions of consumers, not limited to a few thousand megacorps.
The public stockholders, yes, but there are currently private investors.
That's awesome - I saw them a few years ago but stupidly didn't even stick around for the whole set. I hope we get to meet him again somehow.

That’s a very interesting concept. Even completely putting solar aside. Im just imagining a cluster of satellites redirecting light at will to make it daytime whenever we want.
1) ordinary classical physics is non-deterministic without infinite precision; this isnt observed

2) these "60 or 70" digit -type reasoning omit iterative problems, such as the number of digits required to specify the behaviour of a gas of 10^{big} particles over 10^{big} nanoseconds

3) QM is the most dependent on infinite precision out of all the theories of physics, requiring infinite-dim hilbert space to be linear. QM is linear, so we have infinite dimensions.

Reality aint computable. This seems fairly obvious if you're not a csci zealot.

QM only limits conjugate precision in conjugate varaiables. The Un-P' says absolutey nothing about whether reality is computable; and as far as QM weighs in, it is overwhelmingly against a computable universe. The formalism uses hilbert spaces indispensibly.

ie., whilst expectations of conjugates may, via UP, have a "conjugate precision" the underlying wavefn requires infinite
Well, maybe, but you can rationalize arbitrary amounts of pointless jargon that way.

Besides, in the example Faynman gives the simple sentence is actually shorter. Maybe that shorter sentence loses some information that the jargon carried, but Occam's razor suggests the writer was just trying to sound smarter.

Looks great btw, keep up the work.
I haven't used 'Next Content', but one big difference is that Astro is framework agnostic. I'm not a huge web dev so I wouldn't know how different these frameworks are, but not being locked in/being able to try another framework is cool
Ah, thanks. I didn't read carefully enough.
Agreed, I found that example very confusing.
Generated content will never have social capital.

People not only watch Star Wars because it's a great movie. People watch it because other people do. They can discuss it, they can argue about it, they can share it. A teenager watches Serbian film to show off how badass he is, or Primer to show off how smart he is, plays Dark Souls to show off his skill.

With generated content, you don't have those qualities. I'm actually working on one project like this, and it's a great challenge.

Consuming media may seem like "single player" game when you just sit and watch it, but it's never really is.
Why is the question about being more productive? Yes, family time especially is important to me. I only get to spend 18 years or so with each kid; enjoying them, giving them love, and guiding them through/preparing them for life. I want to prioritize that.

Some day, I'll give anything for the chance to have more time with them. Trying to keep that in mind while they are young.

Goodbye Fail Whale, hello Crash Cross.
Personally, after going to Germany this past June heat pumps do suck. I don't work for the gas companies and have no stock in them. I'm for greener options but I never could get the room to the coolness that it was set for. I also have no proof as I didn't have a thermometer. So take my statements as purely anecdotal and no scientific proof. But I would definitely be interested to know if anyone here has a heat pump and if they are working for you.
On the more stable e-scooters (not the awkward rentals like Lime and Bird), it's possible to carve almost like a skateboard. Unless you have a BMX, there's not the options. I miss my all chrome 80's Diamondback with black fiberglass wheels.

It doesn't matter. It's a DRM. If your version of the software doesn't contain the right keys none of this will work correctly.

Kinda like how Widevine works. No keys means lower quality.
HN is a sort of ad. This place was made as a recruitment funnel for a VC firm.

Also there are occasionally overt ads for companies funded by said VC firm inserted into the list on the front page. You can recognize these because they have the comment sections disabled.
I think it's even more safe/preferable to use non-mutable `None`s as a default and do:

```
def myfunc(x=None):
x = x if x is not None else []
...
```
Sounds way better tbh
The word amortize -- "gradually write off the initial cost of (an asset) over a period" -- denotes exactly this concept in the English language. As in, "the market price of a CPU includes amortization of the initial R&D effort over the lifetime sales of the CPU".

The problem is that it means something more specific to accountants and lawyers in practice.

An interesting observation I've had in my own browsing behaviour is that the majority of sites I visit are time wasting visits. If any site presents the above message (or the equivalent - 'sign up to read' like Medium does), I find I just navigate away and do something else.

The bigger concern for me like you call out - major institutions like banks enforcing a separate company's requirements on me in order to interface with them.
Amen.

The only things they really have in common are that they both happen to be billionaires who bought their own social media platform that they now use to signal boost discredited right-wing conspiracy theories through memes and insults.

Beyond that, the comparisons are totally superficial.
Germany, up until the rise of the Nazis, was a popular destination for Eastern Jews fleeing pogroms, a centre of sexuality research, cutting-edge culture for music and film.

We should do a better job of remembering that, because the reason none of that survives is "the Nazis murdered everyone". Particularly given the direct adoption of Nazi-era phraseology in modern political movements.

Why don't we have automatic personal finances for every citizen, unless they opt out?

I mean, we sort of have this for retirement plans in many countries. Why not apply the same ideas to the entirety of personal finance, including savings, investments, etc.
A browser's HTTP cache works similar to a service worker cache, except that there are clear ways to invalidate via headers, while the APIs to invalidate the service worker cache are obscure and stale cache had caused multiple issues in the past.

I agree that SW can work if you write your UI around them, but Gitea isn't really such an UI.

Sounds like you may just need to pay a visit to the Expenses subsection of the House form within the plan interface (Real Assets section beneath the primary chart in the Plan tab).

If you've modeled those externally instead, then you can probably just zero-out the default assumptions for maintenance, insurance, property tax, etc.
not everywhere. at least some european countries and aparently some places in the US too ban the wearing of facemasks, some only on large public assemblies and some ban it in general. covid of course made mockery of those laws.
| I can represent time/space in a computer program. Nothing would feel that it exists there.

That's why I said real-time and continuous. All digital systems, at the lowest level of computations are discrete, not continuous (i.e. analog). And the changes happening in real-time, i.e. the transistors values changing in processing units are very far removed from a representation of reality. What I mean by that is that if you are watching a video of a desert on a computer screen and took a snapshot of the transistor values in a GPU/CPU happening at the same time, they is no good mapping from one to the other (Since that one screenshot may be computed by thousands of computation cycles in the GPU/CPU).
He refers all over the blog post to an "error" in attention. specifically says

The problem with using softmax is that it forces each attention head to make an annotation, even if it has no information to add to the output vector. Using softmax to choose among discrete alternatives is great; using it for optional annotation (i.e. as input into addition) is, like, not cool, man.

I'm saying it uses the current position to do this, that if it was a significant error I would expect it to improve the training loss. I sort of interpreted the blog post as being a bit more positive on the idea than just being about improving the quantization
