No, not at all. Her parents were fairly abusive and distant when she was growing up. She basically raised her younger siblings herself while they were in prison or abusing drugs.

I suppose I consider her "lucky" for managing to rise above all that, but even then it's not like she's achieved any huge amount of success or anything.

My theory these days is that she learnt how to deal with negative emotions growing up, and that was by simply by not over thinking things and not letting things get to her.

She does this unusual thing where if I try to get here to think about something bad, she immediately (and I suspect automatically) changes subject. I think that could be how she learnt dealt with the trauma – just live in the moment and focus on positive things.

To be honest I think "happiness" and "depression" are really complex. I'm sure there are correlations, but I'd guess it's a product of a huge number of physical and environment factors throughout one's life. As much as I'd love to live in the moment and be happy like her, for whatever reason I'm simply not wired like that. But also I'm aware there are people like me who think very deeply about things yet still manage to be happy, so I assume in those case their default mental state is just naturally more biased toward happiness and positivity.

I am curious to hear how illustrations re-victimize their fictional subjects.
This is true, but from personal experience, academics are terrible at including high quality images. My colleague would screenshot an image from some visualisation software and paste it in to her paper in MS Word. Then that image would get copied or screenshotted into a different word document, and so on, and the quality would deteriorate.

There’s enormous momentum with closed source computing. I think that’s an amazing step in the right direction, as it lowers the barrier of entry for someone to try out Linux.
AFAIK the US bigtech dictates a lot of the tech movement narratives and America is already a P2W society if you think about it from a game industry perspective, so this isn't exactly a surprise, what comes next should be a surprise, like, either AI outpaces US capability to dictate digital narratives in the western countries and states manage to get into their own digital narratives or the America vs China technology/economic warfare winners will. Would love to have a 3rd alternative but all other assumptions sound stale to me at this point.

Oh come on. There is no way it is hard to get a Linux PC anywhere you can get a Chromebook anyway.

I'll start: Australasia - https://arkpc.com.au/
> Well, guess what? People who root their devices and use custom ROMs like LineageOS (myself included) nowadays hide root from bad apps and can pass these checks anyways. I use Google Pay all the time on my OnePlus 11 running an unofficial LineageOS build, thanks to root hiding. Does Google not realize how commonly bypassed Play Integrity is? In fact, it is easy even on Google’s very own Pixel devices, as someone who previously used multiple generations of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 7.

Important to note here that it's only possible to "fool" SafetyNet/Play Integrity because of compatibility with older devices. The strongest Play Integrity level (MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY) is simply not possible to fake on a device with an unlocked bootloader, it's just not a big problem right now because most apps do not require it yet, since there are still many old devices that don't pass it, because of missing hardware or outdated android versions.

Eventually, in a few years, a time will come where the number of non-unlocked devices not compatible with MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY will be low enough that apps will start requiring it, and that will be the end of bootloader unlocking for most users that still do it.
I’m mostly the same, but I can’t leave the native smooth infinite scrolling of the Terminal.app

iTerm2’s tmux integration seems all I have ever wanted, but somehow I keep returning to the two extremes. It maybe just habit, or there maybe something subtle missing.
The Google hate crowd is so strange to me. I just don't understand it when Google are probably the best data stewards in the current landscape. I trust Google more than I trust my own government with my data.

I guess their support is bad, is that why you're so against them?
Super interesting. The GI is a mysterious thing in many ways. For example we aren’t particularly sure why diseases like diverticulitis occur in certain populations and not others. Genetics in part possibly but we see higher incidents of it when people from low incident populations move to high incident places suggesting environment is highly influential. And that fiber intake is much higher in the low incident places. But I’m sure there are other differences too. I’m no expert. Have just picked up things from doctor friends.
It was a poor choice of words. I didn't mean valid in terms of morally right. I meant valid in terms of economically rational in today's climate.

Oh I really like Jupyter too. I don't want them to have a bunch of extra overhead or to roll their own blogging engine or anything - though I have experimented with Jupyter notebooks for writing simple technical blogs and it's actually pretty nice.
tarsnap natively protects against inadvertent or malicious deletion or corruption — old tarsnap backups are immutablez The low-cost competitors (restic, borg, etc) seem to have this feature as an afterthought, and they make it surprisingly difficult.

(FWIW, S3 can be somewhat straightforwardly configured so that old data is effectively immutable. Google Cloud Storage’s similarly named versioning feature appears to be far weaker.)
Honestly, whose data isn't "super important"?. All my data is super important. Even the crap I just throw on my Google drive. I want to keep it.

What is this mythical unimportant data that people still want to back up?
Please. If aliens were on earth there’d be lots of quality video and photos from people’s cellphones. Too many people with too many cellphones to not have any proof.
For me, less distracting and confusing visual clutter on the screen. Also, the pane showing the file hierarchy is redundant with the file explorer that the OS already provides. But either way, not having to use an IDE is a blessing. Especially on a 14" touch screen laptop.

Note that I'm probably a freak, lots of my friends love their IDE's, but having having something that works for my particular brain and my eyeballs is a blessing.
Yep, and people are still banned, even when this theory started being discussed by "mainsteam experts" on mainstream media.
Unrelated to the outage, but I'm curious nonetheless: would it be possible to hook up Tarsnap's encryption software to a Dropbox folder? I'm not sure if it even makes sense to use Tarsnap for this, but I'd love to have an easy setup that allows me to use Dropbox's servers but only let them see encrypted data so they can't snoop.
This has come up before (searching for ref) but the basic explanation is GDP when adjusted for PPP in eurozone is more or less same as USA over that period (ie both economies grew at much same rate).

Basically things in America got more expensive (gas, health, education being big contributors). There is lots of wriggle room in the numbers but the vast gulf by nominal GDP is surprising and so unlikely .
surely there are no confounders here

My experience with Teams is all negative.

- It doesn't allow viewing both the (text) list of people and chat at the same time

- The vast majority of the time, people don't include a dial-in. This, alone, kills it for me

- Every time I want to mute myself, I wind up needing to search for the mute button (I know it's in the same place every time, but the fact that I need to "find" it every time tells me there's something poor about it's placement; I couldn't say what, though)

- It's an extra step opening it in the browser, because it tries (twice) to get you to open the application.

It's a death by 1,000 cuts. Just tons of little things that make it annoying (and the one big "no dialin" thing)
> ... yet I could not find a way to do that out of the box using Slime.

Here's what I use: edit code, save file, tell slime to eval current defun. I haven't yet suffered indiscipline to hook `slime-eval-defun` to call `save-buffer`. Would that work for you?
I wonder how a decentralized, hierarchical LLM would perform.

For example:

LLM A is trained on all of Wikipedia
LLM B is trained on all of Hacker News
LLM C is trained on all of Project Gutenberg

User asks question Q on webservice W.

W sends Q to A and B.

Then W sends a question to C "Hey C, I have a user who asked Q. Here is A's reply and B's reply. Given those, how would you answer Q?"

Would the answer be as good as or better than what an LLM which is trained on Wikipedia, Hacker News and Project Gutenberg would return?

If it is of similar quality, then we could build a hierarchical tree of consumer hardware LLMs which are hosted all over the world.

It seems you don't understand the concept of a ferry. It is like a bridge which moves with you. You drive on, the ferry departs and moves to some other location (other side of the river, other side of a lake) and you drive off. You can see the operation in this randomly selected video for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkKTyf_RAzk )

ICE cars have gasoline in their tanks, because that is what they use to drive on the ferry and that is how they drive off the ferry.

Big orgs (regardless of public or private) can exploit economies of scale, which makes cheap products possible and available to the masses.

Big orgs have big org problems that small orgs don’t (HR, Legal, Architecture, …), so they need specialist senior leaders who spend their days doing things that rank-and-file staff don’t understand, and usually don’t even know need to be done.

You don’t need to accept the premise. It’s not (generally) the case that Japanese people don’t want foreigners there. A more correct statement would be that some Japanese people don’t want some foreigners there. Which is true of any country. If one person has felt bullied and excluded when trying to integrate in Japan that sucks, but I also know of plenty of people who have felt bullied and excluded trying to integrate in America, too.
Somewhat similar compounds are superconductors, so it's possible that a wrong theory gave them a lucky hint to modify an old superconductor into the new superconductor.

Amazon provided me extra discount on top of a discounted price.

But only for selected products. It's easier and more manageable than my bank credit card rewards.

Also many services like doctors, vets, etc are much easier to pay.

The only upside of CCs are rewards and cashbacks, but if they add too much rules, and exceptions for it, pix becomes the clear winner for the transparency on my expenses.

So even for people on middle to upper middle class it can have more benefits.
Rogue actors are a dangerous possibility, but even more certainly AI will be used by militaries in an official capacity to control weapons, strategy and tactics.

The CEO of Palantir just published an open letter calling for a Manhattan Project for superintelligent AI weapons. https://archive.is/KSOv4

It seems to me that the plan is: the West and East each create their own SkyNet connected to their military arsenals, have them fight it out, then if there are any humans left alive who are still able to control the AIs, those are the "winners".

I mean that's not an explicit plan yet but without another way to resolve geopolitical conflicts, it's the path we are on.
Memfault (YC W19) Is Hiring an Embedded Linux Engineer to build our Rust SDK
They have to abide by the rules of the universe that WE know of. The universe is unbelievably big but also unfathomably OLD, so I'm sure there's been plenty of time for a number of civilizations to reach a technological level vastly larger than ours. Our latest technological revolution started just a hundred years ago. Imagine what just 10,000 more years can do. I mean, we thought (and our math said so) that the speed of sound was a physical barrier just a _few_ years ago. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl%E2%80%93Glauert_singul...)

Story time: A former coworker's brother got hired in Colorado as a dispensary's first CFO. He soon discovered that employees were making cash pickups every day from their locations using their personal cars - which isn't good for the personal safety of the employees, and way too tempting for theft by the employees. He called a couple of armored car companies - none of which wanted his business. They were concerned over the possibility of mingling his cash with that of other businesses, and the banks (who were their main customers) objecting. Banks, being federally regulated, are not allowed to take deposits from cannabis businesses, even accidentally.

So he started a subsidiary armored car business that only served the cannabis market.

Users don't dictate terms, though. How my API works is up to me.

If I target use cases that prefer truncation of messages to errors, then surely it's acceptable for me to build it that way, right? I'm not saying it's a good idea in general. I'm saying it can be acceptable in the appropriate context.

So far, Jupyter has been the tool that gives me the best chance of coming back a week or a year later and figuring out what I did. Also, doing "restart kernel and run all cells" before going home for the day is a great reassurance that something is likely to be reproducible.

If you think about it a bit, it's almost expected. Ads are a (the only?) effective way to monetize any digital device. So an advertiser has an interest in nearly all (internet connected) digital technology, as all areas can be exploited for additional advertising revenue by them. Their only meaningful competition at that scale is other ad companies, as nobody else can monetize arbitrary digital devices as effectively.

This is why we need to be politically active and politically effective and I'm glad OP called that out in their post too. It's like reminding people to vote when dealing with the consequences of elected officials.

edit: What business, other than an ad business, can safely say "we don't care what digital technologies we invent, as long as they are popular we can make piles of money." IMO, that is the motto of a dominant tech company. You can see a striking example of this failing with the various home assistants. Despite their popularity, tech companies can't figure out a way to shove ads into the UX, so they can't make money.
Isn't this what Hugging Face wants to do?
They had to speed things up, not only Sergey Brin is back at Google's headquarters, other SV companies are going deep into the identity realm, that directly clashes with Alphabet identity exploitation, same for Meta, these companies largely payed to win the "digital identity dilemma" but things will change pretty fast over the next 2 years. Sam Altman WorldCoin and Musk's X platform should be the telltale but people are missing the clues?

The framers were quite aware of what they were doing by building a republic instead of a democracy. Tyrannical majorities, especially when it’s a slight majority, are dangerous things. Democracy in general is dangerous. It’s 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for lunch.

The federal government is too big imo and people forget the country was built to be a federation of states which citizens could freely move around to and trade with. I think we would be better served to delegate more power back to the individual states.

The URL wouldn't have to be secret. You should not be baking secrets into an OS image anyway. But this is a very cool idea! Just specify e.g. https://start.example.com as your boot URL to get to the installer; you can point the system at your personal data later.

macOS (at least on Intel) is able to download and start the installer from the Internet, straight from the UEFI environment - you just have to hold the right magic button combination. I've only done this once, but it felt like one of those ideas, "why isn't every computer in the world able to do this".
