I made a similar tool for myself (to lean Japanese) with a more "phoenix wright" game like interface, that I plan on open sourcing. (A slightly older version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip4BxbAc13g)

I thought of going the way you went with a product, but my takes are

- B2C is incredibly hard, especially with a subscription. People are just going to compare the price of your product to netflix and say it's not worth it

- What we do is fairly easy, the whole "value" is in some fairly simple prompt on top of openAI APIs. Even if it's a success, the likes of DuoLingo can copy that in a month and have so much more marketing and money to win the market

- Ultimately, people can have the same thing for free with ChatGPT and just a bit of copy and paste. As times goes on and other models become better / cheaper, it will be even harder to compete.

- I think open sourcing means that ultimately people can create their own scenarios etc. and maybe create a community around it.

Maybe VSC will worsen over time. In which case I'll move to whatever is a better alternative when the cost of moving feels lower than the cost of continuing to use it. Just like what happened when I stopped using Emacs.

I'm assuming that "you'll be back" means I will start using Emacs again for programming.

Well, for that to happen Emacs would have to provide a better programming experience for the environments I care about than VSC does. Right now it doesn't. If or when it does, I might consider it again.

I did the exercise of installing Emacs 29.1 yesterday and trying to set up a Go programming environment from scratch. After about one hour of head scratching I had something that barely worked and I wasn't entirely sure how to get it all the way there. That's not a good user experience. It is going to be an even worse experience for someone who hasn't been an Emacs user for a few decades.

It would make me happy if Emacs was a better alternative. It just isn't. If someone has the time and commitment to fix that I'll certainly consider it, but we know that at best, that's going to be years away.
The big difference here is that chromium is an end user application. Java is designed to be a dependency. In fact java only goal in life is as a dependency.
Philosophy tends to be the category of problems we can't figure out so people just waffle about them, and then when there is a solution it's no longer called philosophy.

A recent example would be can machines think which used to be philosophical and is now becoming practical.
> finding someone to actually converse with.

Yes this is indeed a key barrier, particularly if your own language is already the language of your work/play, and if native speakers of the target language are typically fluent in your language.

This should be a (the?) killer app for AI, particularly LLMs, as the potential benefits are enormous (facilitating better communication between peoples), and the problem is ideally suited to current AI (e.g. it doesn't have to be 100% accurate all the time, and it doesn't have to have any understanding of the reality underlying the language itself - it is just a word interpreter/regurgitator that you are using to practice speaking and listening)
This sounds to me like SQLite fully supports JSON5, but always outputs JSON for compatibility reasons, rather than any kind of animus against JSON5.
Very nice!

Sounds like AppService/bridge support is on par with Synapse at this point (and maybe has been for quite a while?) - any gaps to be aware of in that department?

> Clearly it won't be 100% of libraries that "upgrade".

I'm wondering how many libraries with binary extensions are actually in common use. Like, maybe 90% of python projects use a subset of a few hundred such packages?

That's a hassle if you maintain one of those packages, and will be a bit disappointing if in 5 years' time you're still depending on GIL-reliant packages.

But it's nothing like the chaos of the python 2-3 changes, where ~100% of python files in every package and end-user project had to be fixed.

I only learned about this this morning though, it's very possible I'm missing something. A lot of the concerns people are raising look a bit overblown to me.

I take the point that after so many abortive GIL removal attempts, it's harder to be confident this one will happen. But having the go-ahead from the steering council seems like a good indicator this one has traction.

Love the flow chart concept. I think you should skip the waffly intro though. I cannot imagine a target audience that a) wants to learn Python, and b) wants to read a long introduction including the origin of the word "program", the definition of a computer, some history of Alan Turing, etc.

IMO you should start with a very simple piece of Python code that does something actually useful. That's instant motivation.

It also gives you a concrete example to explain things with. It's 10x easier to understand things with concrete examples.
> you should just optimize your workflows around the keyboard instead of the mouse.

That's quite patronising. Tools should grow around the user, not the other way around.

Trackpad is just wrong for text based applications. For instance, you can't precisely select large amounts of text and navigation, placing the cursor precisely is just a nightmare.
Good management goes both ways: you need to defend your team, convince the higher-ups of its worth and ultimately help define those values.

Of course, it's always possible to end up with a boss who refuses to listen or just doesn't understand, and then you're in trouble.

Hi, kind of hijacking this conversation but as Cloudflare is unfortunately routing the majority of websites I visit I have to ask this:

Can you guarantee my Firefox browser will keep on working on 'the open internet' now Chrome moves towards "Web Environment Integrity" and Safari towards "Private Access Tokens" and Cloudflare is supporting and implementing such technologies on scale?

I intent to not participate in these DRM APIs with my Firefox browser and would like to keep browsing the internet.
Innovation so far is what made things worse, not better.
Really like the idea and works well.

Audio woule be the killer feature, I would make beginner easier or add starter/kid level, now it's still quite complicated:

"¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? ¿Listo para practicar un poco de español sobre el tema del trabajo? ¿Hay algo en particular que te gustaría aprender o discutir?"

A little bit more guidance in type of conversation would also be great, maybe some tracks, or some maybe some scene to start with (as duolingo does with stories) so you don't have to put mental effort in. (you are in a restaurant order food, the waiter drops drink etc....)
Or, in Firefox’s menu bar, simply click “View” → ”Page Style” → “No Style”.
It would be more worrying if the CCP wasn’t knee-capping tech and AI companies, as well as scaring off investment.

Since Immanuel Kant we "know", that we can never get to the truth, since our senses are easily fooled. The basis of rational science for me. We can only say what is least likely to be wrong.

Go to therapy. It will be very effective due to you being introspective and logical. Your logical reasoning will be put to test by the therapist and what you thought was logical will be challenged constantly. This will illuminate your entire thinking. This is damn near impossible to do on your own. You would rather take a plane to travel a thousand miles than crawl there on your knees.

Possibly... But I don't understand why that particular HDMI cable was causing issues with my USB devices -- with no visual artifacts or latency or other issues being evident on my screen.

But you're right -- I was possibly too quick to snark about MacOS when the real culprit is more likely the cheap random HDMI cable I used. :)
Using investor's money to build something with low to zero margin until you capture enough value to make it profitable a few years down the line has been the core SV strategy for more than a decade now, so it's not an extraordinary plan.

Of course it doesn't always work, and it may be even harder to make it work in the current macroeconomic environment, but it's still pretty standard play.
I think it depends on what stage your at. With English as my first language, I certainly improved my vocab massively and was aware of a lot more things like idioms/styles of speech once I was old enough to read independently.

Found that too learning French that once I got enough proficiency to read was really useful in the amount/style of French I could expose myself to and helped me push up past a plateau of confidence in my spoken French (though not fluent still, so just IMO, take that for what it's worth!)
My central claim is that you were not taught how to find flaws in an argument by being paired up with a classmate and taking turns arguing in favour of positions like "tormenting Jonah to do gods will was justified", I did not say "pretending to hold a different opinion is never done".
Current plan says there has to be separate builds per module, as if it is an ABI break. Would be much better if it could be combined into one build. Hopefully necessity triggers some invention here.

I flew Scoot from SE Asia (Singapore or Bangkok, can't remember which) to Germany back in 2019, and they had one functioning water fountain between security and boarding. Needless to say, everyone wanted to fill their water bottles and the queue got long. So long that the plane started boarding before it was half done. Aircrew staff were shouting at people to stop filling their water bottles and get on the plane. We passengers, realising that for once we had some power, refused. We knew they couldn't take off with our baggage but not us, and getting our baggage off the plane would take longer than the delay to just fill our bottles. So we ignored the shouting and filled our bottles. The plane took off 15 mins late (iirc). It felt great :)

I have no idea if it affected Scoot's policy on charging for water on the flight, or the airport's attitude to water fountains. I like to think it did.

Flying out of Panama this year, we discovered that they don't care about water bottles. I would love for airport security to finally get over this idea that water bottles might potentially contain explosives.
A few little findings:

- There is a rogue pr-4 on the free tier pricing card which makes the content sit left-aligned instead of in the center of the card.

- In dark mode the clerk login / signup link at the bottom is hard to read in that dark blue color

- Upon signup and first login the initially created conversation is not selected.

Other than that it looks like a good MVP. It looks like you are using Shadcn/UI which I am a big fan of and I'd like to give a shout out to them here.
First, you conveniently ignore my second link which points out that housing prices, across all houses, not the cherry picked most expensive subset you picked, when adjusted correctly, have been pretty flat. Care to address that? It's been well known that housing prices, per sq ft, inflation adjusted, has not risen according to the pop belief that you share. Here's another easy way to see it - median home prices since 1950, inflation adjusted, have not even doubled since 1950 [1]. Median home sizes each decade since 1920 [2] show that house size have far more than doubled. 1950 was 980 sq ft. 1970 was 1500. 2014 was 2657 (latest on their chart). It sure look like if you picked a 1950 house you'd be paying, well, 1950 rates, doesn't it?

Some numbers from each: Feb 1954 house price $206,717 inflation adjusted. April 2023, $392,780 (the largest value). House sizes: 1950 was 983 ft^2. 2014 was 2657 ft^2 (feel free to chase down sizes for now if you like). 1950 was ~$210/ft^2. 2023 likely ~$147/ft^2.

Care to check the math? Sure seems like housing has not increased (well, it actually decreased significantly by this check) when correctly measured.

Houses cost more now because people want more, and also because they make more than in 1950, inflation adjusted.

Next, new houses in most of the country are built on new residential land as cities expand. Where do you think that land comes from? Farmland. Farmland provides a price floor on new housing, as developers buy it up and add subdivisions.

As to your oddly chosen subset of land: your list is not inflation adjusted. It's also the top 100 metro areas, not the median of house prices in the US. Of course you can pick smaller and smaller subsets to get the answer you want.

The median house in 1950 was under 1/4 acre. From the table below on price per acre, it sure would seem land is not the major factor in house costs.

So, can you provide the correct stat or not? Don't pick the highest cost subset of land. Don't pick non inflation adjusted values. And make it the median of all housing.

Here, I'll help. Here is median price per acre of land with housing on it in the US, by state [3]. It also has the median price per acre, including farmland. Use Excel, check the correlation. If you are to do it, you can also population weight these, add median house cost per state (easy to find), etc.

It's pretty clear the cost of a house is not majority the land, except perhaps in a few really dense, extreme outliers like NYC and SF.

No wonder you believe the highest component of house cost is land. You have not presented actual numbers, only picked the subsets that you like.

Try again. Also, please address the now 3 links I presented about housing costs when size adjusted.

> Honestly, I'm not sure how folks use non-magic mice without this.

I use a non-magic mouse, it seems fine to me.

I remember in the past there was this problem with scroll direction being the inverse of what I expected and I had to use some app to change it just for my mouse and not the trackpad, but with my current setup the mouse behaves as I would expect, not sure if it's due to this mouse's firmware or a change in MacOS or something, I am curious what advantages these apps offer since I seem to be the target audience?

I don't really see the point in these gestures to switch spaces etc., and scrolling / mouse movement seems fine to me, what am I missing?

Edit: I just realized, my mouse works as expected because I have it set to inverted in BetterTouchTool, which I originally installed for other reasons, so I suppose I do see the point in these Apps

We will do nothing. This attitude is just looking for excuses. CO2 emissions per capita in Austria are half of those in USA.

I rarely see Emacs freeze even with Tramp, but admittedly I rarely see broken connections. I think in that case VS Code will throw up a modal dialog telling you to reload the window, and after reloading you have the option to sever the connection.

For me the main problem with Tramp is the slowness - opening and saving files takes just a tiny bit too long. I'm sure VS Code's approach with a remote server can be faster.

The idea is, that nature can take care of its own quite well, if left in peace and bird feeding can be actually harmful, as you bring in more nutrients artificially with the result, that an ecosystem than has more birds, than it can sustain on its own, which can lead to local collapse of that ecosystem (too much duck shit in the lake for example).
I'm currently writing up a deployment architecture for LLM's and the API question is answered here https://fine-tuna.com/docs/choosing-a-model/model/

Basically you can get a Docker container that will publish an Open AI API compatible end point. You can then choose the model that sits behind that API.

As deployment will be in Kuberenetes we will clusters with GPU resources to maxz out performance but we're not there yet.
That works as long as there are no limits to the system in which you are working. But the real world is very much a closed system and you can't externalize the results of unbounded growth of wealth within that system. There is nothing to externalize to! So unbounded growth equals unbounded pollution, unbounded resource depletion and ultimately the crash when the boundaries of the system start making themselves be noticed.
Doesn't seem redundant to me. Even if you can multiplex requests, batches still have certain advantages, e.g.

- compression is often more efficient with larger payloads

- can reduce per-request overheads, e.g. do authentication once rather than X times

- easier to coalesce multiple queries, e.g. merge similar requests to enable data retrieval via a bulk query, instead of X individual queries
