i have been using brave search for a while now and i was surprised and am very satisfied with the search results. missing image and video search was a bit annoying mostly in that it linked to google and bing but not any other search engines. but i just remembered to switch to where i wanted to do image search instead. it sometimes meant that i had to go back to retype my search query, but i'd rather have a good text search than be bothered by that. in most cases i'd know ahead of time if i wanted images so it was easy to pick the right search engine.

Depends really on when and where you go. India has got some nice unpolluted places, and it has Delhi, around November (when the people a state downwind burn crop stubble).

On the cleanliness issue, all we can really say is that we are trying harder! The railway system used to be very dirty, it is much much cleaner now.

Food hygiene can be a problem for those not used to it, but standard common sense rules like eating in crowded places should keep you safe.

Oh, and we don't have a habit of demanding you to register with the police when checking in to a hotel unlike some other countries.
There's nothing toxic about acknowledging that some things are not for everyone.

I'm specifically interested in the ability to share your ideas with your peers in a way that resists tampering by third parties, provided you're willing to put in a reasonable amount of work re: learning to do so.

If we let that be the mark of a privileged class, then we might as well go back to the middle ages.

People like having extra capacity even if they scarcely use that capacity. This is why the F150 is the best selling car in America. Not to mention its better in general to have extra battery capacity than you might reasonably need today, as it will degrade with age, or temperature.

I just told you three reasons why this would happen, and I'm sure there are many more.

It's obvious that these machines can be making DNS queries simultaneously, why wouldn't they? They are completely independent of each other.

And don't forget the number of DNS queries are also magnified when the machines are configured to do DNSSEC verification.

> For your very odd use case I'd suggest hosting your own recursive resolver someplace like AWS and pointing to that, but I suspect if you checked your priors you probably can change something about the first 3 conditions.

First of all, it's not an odd use case. I think everyone has a laptop and a smartphone, and if they are not following my security practices it's either out of ignorance or out of complacency / not caring, it's not because they are doing what they should be doing. And I'm not even talking about DNSSEC here, just the basic "don't trust random Wi-Fi networks / DNS servers".

And second, why can't you imagine a hotel Wi-Fi network with hundreds or thousands of devices, all of them hooked to the same public Wi-Fi network (the hotel-provided one), configured to use a public DNS server and making requests at the same instant?

What is so hard to imagine about that?

Hell, some public Wi-Fi networks don't even have a local DNS server, they directly send the public Google DNS server IP addresses to all clients as part of their DHCP replies!
You need to try a little bit of everything.

In my case I'm giving myself time, but using my own stash. I'm not exactly burned out RN, but not willing to work with the same stuff as before or at the same type of environment.

DIY stuff really helps. I did some furniture myself, doing basic maintenance on my car, cooking.

Trying to get better at journaling myself with stuff like Logstash/Obsidian along with mechanical keyboards.

Also I always wanted to become more proficient with VIM and motions.

So really spending time with small little things and realizing the differences, from one type of saw cutting the wood for my furniture to how different is the blue switch to brown switch in a mech keyb, or why it's now faster for me to change oil and filters on my car than taking it to a place.

This takes a lot of pressure while I'm learning the technologies and figuring out what kind of challenges I want for myself for the next decade, and having plenty energy to follow all this hype around AI and understanding what's bullshit or not.

Sure. But there were improvements to the ecosystem. Telemetry is a great example, though they ended up porting it to Erlang so that both Erlang and Elixir projects can use it.

Back in 2000 Coca-Cola had an auction site. I put a HTML comment tag in my username and the words "AUCTION ENDED". The result of which was that whenever I bid on anything it would erase the bid submit button after my name -- therefore no-one else could bid on anything.

Everyone always wants simple beautiful code they can understand, I want boring code, that implements a beautiful UI users can understand.

And if that means calling some black box of horrors mega library, that's fine as long as I don't have to look in the box.

My first approach to embedded was an installer script that configures a stock distro image. Then I moved to a premade CustomPiOs image, but that's a nightmare and adds another large artifact to build and manage and maintain and isn't portable. Now I'm back to the installer script.

Technical merits have nothing to do with the choice really. Nobody else was interested in learning anything about the customized image but they already know basic scripting.

As much as I love high tech, and pretty much always use the megaproject latest hyper neophile stuff if I can.... I like not having to maintain custom stuff even more.
Quite likely more time consuming, expensive and dangerous than digging entirely new tunnels if the existing ones have a lot of concrete lining, shoring, soil nails, or other structural features that must be removed as part of the process.

Wikipedia says 13000 Wh/kg, but you have to keep in mind that due to physics, wear considerations, and emissions regulation, most cars are only 20-40% efficient. At a 20% efficiency, that's 2600 Wh/kg. This is further constrained by gear ratios, meaning not all power is available at all times.
Half right. I'm confidently correct.

It's also why the F150 lightning appears to be an absolute flop: Its range goes to crap when you're towing, and people who want F150's at least think of themselves as people who want to be able to tow. (Actual towing with F150's is likely low, but most people who buy one, want to have the option.)
Aah so Arthur is the guy after me!
To call other things "cheese" that aren't cheese is torturing the very definition of the word, much like "milk", which, of course, as a precursor to cheese, has been traditionally understood, inconveniently for you, as excretion from mammary glands.

A lot of of cheesemakers have also traditionally depended upon rennet, a product of animal stomachs, so in the effort to replace it as a coagulant, the definition of "rennet" has itself been tortured to expand as much as possible until vegans are happy with fake, highly-processed, chemically-treated foods.

I was reading the bag of my Chipotle burrito the other night, and it listed all 51 ingredients they use in their restaurant (even water is listed in here), and my eyes alighted on "gypsum". I nearly spit out my steak and pinto beans when I discovered that there's basically drywall in Chipotle's food. It turns out that gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) is a coagulant for soy products, and so if a restaurant doesn't use soy, and doesn't produce fake, highly-processed, chemically-treated vegan foods, then it doesn't need to use drywall.
Have you ever built a CDN or anycast network? I have, many times.

Anycast isn't magic, and it can't be used in all situations. For example Akamai has 16 times as many POPs as Cloudflare does, and many of them reside within smaller ISPs where you might not be able to establish BGP sessions. Long running downloads and websockets are better served over unicast addresses. Not to mention you don't have a lot of knobs to fix things when anycast does go wrong and you have a network in the US sending your traffic to an EU POP because they have cheaper transit in Europe.

Always glad to see another person finding their way to Elixir!

IMO the biggest tripping point for people (including, clearly, this author) is the freedom. They said that the "Big complicated project structure" was a stumbling point - but there is no structure! You can actually do it any way you want. But there are conventions. Mix suggests that you lay our your project in a certain way (and most Elixir projects are laid out that way) - but you are not required to by the language.

Nearly everything in the language is a convention (including the test / dev / prod run modes). This applies to Erlang as well. It has standard approaches, but you don't /have/ to follow them. I frequently get confused about the way libraries tend to approach something (do you have to do it this way? Is there a requirement?) and the answer is generally "no, but the community tends to think this is the best way to do it and so people generally do it this way."

A great example of everything being a convention: structures aren't a language feature. They're maps with special keys and Elixir library support. The upside and downside to this is that you could actually do almost anything with them - if you have the time and the skill to implement the system. MANY things are like this when you get into it.

You can always turn fame into cash in other ways.

For example, Carrie Fisher (I'm reading her biography) lived off of her fame from Star Wars for the rest of her life (and she got the role in Star Wars because her mother was famous). Her movie roles after SW were not particularly memorable. But, like the Kardashians, she made a lot of money by being famous. Even her novels were autobiographical. Her show (Wishful Drinking) was about herself. When she needed money, she'd go to a SW convention and sign autographs.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

> Have you written unsafe code in Rust? I have some experience writing unsafe code, and most of the time you can do it without problems

Yes, I've written a decent amount of `unsafe` code. And I would also point out, C programmers say the same thing about their code :P The problem comes when an assumption you thought was ok turns out to be something the compiler writers thought you shouldn't do, and then your code is broken. Rust doesn't have a defined list of invariants you can't break in `unsafe`, which makes it pretty hard to be confident you didn't break one of them. I've loosely followed the work to pin down some of these things[0], but I don't personally feel like tons of progress has happened and they've been working on it for years.

That said don't get me wrong, I like Rust, I just wish the `unsafe` situation was improved. I also agree that creating safe APIs around `unsafe` code is the way to go, but I've seen a whole bunch of people get it wrong due to bad advice given around `unsafe` or lack of clarity around what `unsafe` is actually supposed to mean.

`unsafe` has also IMO been overloaded to mean both "this code does one of the unsafe operations" or "this code has some invariant you must keep". The latter tends to be the better way to go for creating APIs, but is also harder to do and ends up causing you to mark completely safe code with an `unsafe`.

Those are fair points. In terms of PRing, though, I do think that people are a little too "afraid" of macros. It sometimes feels like people won't learn them out of of principle which is a shame as they aren't that complicated. Though anyone trying to navigate nested macros definitely has my sympathy.

No matter how slice it, however, macros are a massive part of what makes Elixir Elixir. A large portion of the language's "keywords" are just macros and they reduce a lot of the boilerplate Erlang forces you to write.

I don't have any advice to offer, but I'll give you my passing impression: it strikes me as the epitome of "ML as a solution looking for a problem". The reason people aren't getting excited is because most people are excited by outcomes, not by tools and technologies. I doubt that many people in marketing or real estate can visualize what ML could possibly do for them. That's where you need to focus imo - the killer application that no one (in some specific domain) can do without.

I think the usual "heated seats" example is a poor one, since it's so obviously an optional feature that not everyone would want to hack around.

Let's say instead that BMW decided all their car models would be physically 4 seaters, but in order to be allowed to use the back two seats, you had to pay a large monthly "sedan fee". And if they caught you using the back seats without paying, they'd sue you. Would anyone accept this? Likely no. And the reason you shouldn't accept this is the same reason you shouldn't accept the "seat heat" fee.
I barely understand the actual research so I tried getting Claude 2 100k to walk me through it. It stresses that the findings are primarily important for guiding future research. Interestingly, when I then asked if there are any actions I could take today to avail myself of the findings I got what appears to be some reasonably well aligned suggestions. However, I’m way out of my depth here. Does anybody know if the following (or any part of the following) is sound or for that matter if it’s terrible? Here’s what I got:

“ Here are some potential ways you could apply the findings from this study in your daily life:

Diet:
- Eat foods rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds like curcumin (turmeric), catechins (green tea), and anthocyanins (berries) that may help reduce inflammation.

- Consume foods rich in NAD+ precursors like nicotinamide riboside or tryptophan to potentially support mitochondrial function.

- Follow an intermittent fasting regimen, which may enhance mitochondrial health and reduce inflammation.

- Limit foods high in saturated fats, added sugars, and processed carbs that can promote inflammation.

Supplements:
- Take supplements that may inhibit cGAS/STING like quercetin, curcumin, green tea extract. However, speak to your doctor first.

- Consider supplements to support mitochondria like CoQ10, nicotinamide riboside, and alpha-lipoic acid.

Lifestyle:
- Exercise regularly as it can reduce inflammation, improve mitochondrial function, and stimulate brain plasticity.

- Practice stress reduction techniques like yoga and meditation which may decrease inflammatory genes.

- Get sufficient sleep since sleep deprivation can increase inflammatory cytokines.

- Challenge your brain with cognitively stimulating activities to potentially promote neuroplasticity.

- Quit smoking, as it increases inflammation and oxidative stress.

However, changes should be made cautiously and discussed with a health professional. While the study provides promising areas to target, more research is still needed to confirm effects in humans.”
