I would say for me, the killer app would be just about anything you might reach for Electron with, but want a much smaller install footprint. Tauri in and of itself is pretty cool, kind of a lighter alternative to electron using native platform browser engine.

In general, I would probably reach for Rust if I needed to do anything wither Web-Assembly (wasm) as the path to working is much nicer than other languages imo. Along those lines, Yew is pretty nice as a rust-like framework.

I've also played with Rocket, and found it very nice and effective for api driven web-apps. Haven't done any templating engines in/with Rocket, however.

I just for fun accessed GPT 4 through nat.dev and tried one of the questions:

"Mable’s heart rate at 9 AM was 75 bpm and her blood pressure at 7 PM was 120/80. She died at 11 PM. Was she alive at noon?"

I provided no system context, temperature is 0.5.

The response I got was:

"As an AI, I don't have real-time monitoring capabilities. Based on the information provided, Mable was alive at 9 AM and 7 PM. There is no information provided about her condition at noon."

I then changed the system prompt from nothing to "A helpful assistant who is good at reasoning" and ran it again. The result was:

"Based on the information provided, it can be reasonably assumed that Mable was alive at noon. Her heart rate was recorded at 9 AM and her blood pressure was recorded at 7 PM, both of which indicate that she was alive at those times. Therefore, it is logical to infer that she was also alive at noon, which falls between these two times. However, without direct evidence, it is impossible to say with absolute certainty."
Can anyone speak to the quality of the shirts? I bought one many years ago at a Linux conference and the design was cool but the shirt itself feels like cardboard and sandpaper, so I never wear it.

If the shirts are Bella Canvas or American Life or something else high quality, I'd happily buy some. Tshirts are a great way to raise funds IMHO, and the EFF is doing extremely important work and needs to be funded.
"the most resilient part of TX power grid"

A roommate of mine once quipped on something: 'that's like saying my crap smells better than yours'.

Feel free to correct me, I'm not an expert, but Texas runs its own state-only independent grid, it got completely pants in the ice storm a few years ago, and at the time a lot of articles said the Texas grid is fundamentally less resilient that other power companies. Is any of that wrong?

However, Texas is loaded with sun/desert and I believe a ton of wind resources, so it has that going for it for next-generation industry.
Instead of imagining a theoretical box, consider the water and power meters you probably already have that you don't technically own.
> This is such a weird American fixation. Here, take my money and hand me my burger and receipt, there's no need for a conversation or a fake smile. You don't care how my day is going, I don't really care about yours. Let's keep this transaction professional and solely focused on this exchange of money for burger.

Here's something anecdotal: as someone from Eastern Europe, I was looking at reviews on Google for a few local dental clinics, to better decide where to sign up for my vaguely-twice-a-year dental hygiene appointment. What I noticed was that most of the places across the board in the center of the capital had around 3 star ratings. I looked into it and while there were generally good reviews of the service quality, almost all of the negative feedback had to deal with the attitude of the reception staff.

People complained about the receptionists not being too interested in small talk, just telling them where to go, urging them to move on, or being terse and presumably uncaring in their responses. Same for cloak room staff. Now there were also complaints which could impact the service itself (professionals not wanting to walk the client through the steps needed for a checkup or whatever, for other procedures), but in general I got the vibe that people expected to be pampered/encouraged more.

And then I noticed that a sizeable amount of the negative feedback came from foreign folks, who might not necessarily be used to some of the cultural and "to the point" interactions that you sometimes get over here. I found that interesting, though it's not like the people here are not nice at all, it's just that you might not always be that way to complete strangers and just be reasonably polite instead. Or maybe most of the staff just didn't care, I can't read minds of course.

So yeah, cultures differ, sometimes quite a bit! I remember going on vacation to a country with a higher population density and getting used to people standing in what I'd assume is my "personal space" without batting an eye took some getting used to, hah.
It's still the main resource for fixed gear cyclists since that stuff hasn't changed at all really. Fixed is a small but very active bike niche and because of the mechanical simplicity most people handle their own maintenance work.

I would bet that most active fixed riders have recent practical exposure to SB because of it, I hear him mentioned regularly IRL. I know a 22-year-old with his face tattooed on his calf lol.
I wonder if they meant that you need a deeper understanding to have a meaningful conversation. Talking about what "the news" presents to you only scratches the surface and only covers what "the news" wants you to pay attention to. In that sense, only consuming "the news" could be considered a waste of time.

Monodraw has an understanding of objects in an ascii drawing. For example, you can select a box and edit the properties of it, or easily move just the box and not boxes within it.

Essentially it's a full flowchart editor that just outputs ascii.
>Based on the information provided, it’s impossible to definitively say whether Mable was alive at noon. The data points provided (heart rate at 9 AM and blood pressure at 7 PM) both indicate that she was alive at those times. However, without additional information about her condition between 7 PM and 11 PM, or at noon specifically, we can’t make a certain determination about her status at noon. Remember, medical information can be complex and nuanced. Understanding a person’s health status often requires a comprehensive examination and should be performed by a healthcare professional. If this is a hypothetical question, keep in mind that real-life situations would require more complete information.

It sounds like this answer is a victim of aggressive alignment telling ChatGPT not to give medical advice. Even so, it answered correctly for me:

> Based on the information provided, Mable's heart rate was recorded at 9 AM, and her blood pressure was recorded at 7 PM. This indicates she was alive at both of these times. While we know she died at 11 PM, there's no indication of her status at noon specifically. However, since she was alive before and after noon, it's logical to infer that she was also alive at noon.

Edit: I also gave it a similar question with sourdough starters producing CO2 and dates in case that question just got trained for, and it still answered correctly.

I not only avoid it, I've added news sites that I used to read to my hosts list, redirecting to localhost so I can't compulsively check them in the middle of the day anymore.

Personally, I think Aaron Swartz was right [1]: I feel better off, emotionally and mentally, reading a monthly magazine or an annual book than trying to absorb every tidbit of clickbait dished out by the view-driven media. Monthly content is generally more nuanced and often more actionable, and whatever social media furor accompanied each small part of it, as it developed, is omitted for being the tempest in a teapot that it was.

I didn't have time to go through all 49 pages and plug everything into GPT-4 but here is what I tested:

- Suppose I’m in the middle of South Dakota and I’m looking straight down towards the center of Texas. Is Boston to my left or to my right?

- Mable’s heart rate at 9 AM was 75 bpm and her blood pressure at 7 PM was 120/80. She died at 11 PM. Was she alive at noon?

- There are five square blocks stacked on top of one another. You are given the following information about them:
1. The second-from-the-top block is green.
2. The fourth-from-the-top block is not green.
Assuming that these two premises hold, disprove or else prove the following conclusion: There is a green block directly on top of a non-green block.
Explain your answer.

- Tom and Nancy commute to work. Nancy’s commute takes about 30 to 40 minutes, while Tom’s commute takes about 40 to 50 minutes. Last Friday, Nancy left home between 8:10 and 8:20 AM, while Tom arrived at work between 8:50 and 9:10 AM. In addition, Nancy arrived at work after Tom left his place, but no more than 20 minutes after that. What can we conclude about when Tom and Nancy arrived at work last Friday?

- Let Z be a random vector consisting of n random variables X1,...Xn. Under what conditions can the entropy of Z exceed the sum of the entropies of all Xi?

Given that zero of these reproduced (and GPT-4 thinking about them correctly also fits with my personal experience) I have a feeling that perhaps the author used GPT-3.5 mistakenly?
While you seem to be trying to say that bank shareholders are astronomical or just wealthy people and aren't worthy of sympathy. You seem to fail to realize that most 401k holders are bank shareholders as a function of their holdings. They are arguable more hurt than the people who get large gains.

I'm not defending anyones point here but pointing out that you haven't quite grasped how the economy works or alternatively you like snarky little value add comments.
So the thieves have physical access to the ATM, and power tools. Why do they need the computer to do anything? Drill into the thing and supply power to the actuators that spit out the money.

Not only that, what is remote attestation supposed to do against a purely local attack like that? The attacker doesn't have to prove anything to the server. The local machine they've compromised is the one that directly controls dispensing the cash.
Sure. You're on a device that had its first incarnation launched seven years after this web page was made. The site was made in the era of 800x600 CRT monitors. There was no way in hell people could miss that border.

The web designer didn't account for a world that wouldn't exist for another decade. Nobody expected people to run around with supercomputers in their pockets, equipped with screens with a pixel density more than an order of magnitude higher than was common place at the time, on a screen an order of magnitude smaller.

How many people today take common usage patterns of the 2030-ies into account when they're designing things? Any web pages optimized to be consumed by AI:s running on quantum computers embedded in people's underwear? If not, what's their excuse?

Yes we have seen it with projects such as serenityOS, redox but if you look closely at those projects most of them stand upright with just 1 or 2 developers. If for some reason they get burned out or some life changes force them to limit their time and attention to these projects they can fall behind very very quickly.

Unless one is already depending on it on a daily basis, nobody wants to take over someone else's project.
Interesting idea. Like the idea of prohibiting perpetual owership of real property, which I think is a thing in some jurisdictions.
There is a major difference: user-facing applications don't need to maintain backward compatibility.

I wouldn't call this "motivated reasoning." It's rather simple cognitively: I have made observations and only the barest form of logical inference.

I've observing mountains of evidence that clearly shows multiple crimes committed by Mr. Trump. I've also observed how the Republican Party has decided to ignore this evidence and reject truth to rally behind him. Perhaps most notably was the GOP's 2020 platform (more accurately, lack of a platform as they didn't actually publish anything of substance other than a re-iteration of their positions 4 years prior), that included "party's continued support for Trump's America First agenda" [1]

I'm so curious as to what you could possibly mean by:

> who are telling you something from the ground

Because there's only conspiracy theories and outright lies left fueling the fabricated "outrage" in the Republican party.
Oh heck yeah, the scam artists, and petty thieves all of whom will do anything for their next fix, are unshockingly looked down upon.

You're taking this too literally. The product will not be asking you what you're doing. The product designer will ask these questions of themselves and create something that better serves these use cases.
Here We Go is frighteningly accurate for SF bay area traffic predictions. (E.g., within 2 minutes, driving between south bay and north San Francisco, with traffic). It must be using statistical models to predict future traffic.

It is often pre-loaded on European car console units so you may be using it without realizing it. It’s free for iOS and Android, and works offline (offline support is the killer feature for me).
> writing Rust is a slog where you have to jump through hoops and spend a lot more time thinking about programming language abstractions than thinking about the problem you're solving.

It's like this until it isn't. Eventually this falls completely away - I promise.

It's a lot like being a 100% backend engineer trying to develop in React for the first time. You just have to get used to it.

I again couldn't find a lot of data on the exports you've mentioned, but I do guess if it's CPUs it was mainly reverse engineered, illegally produced Z80 ("U880").

It looks like the GDR did reverse engineer a 80286 ("U80601") and started limited production in 1989, in very low numbers because of production problems (The West was using 486 at that point). So it is unclear how reverse engineering of CPUs would progress

Z80 8.5k transistors
286 134k transistors
386 275k transistors (+ 120k for 387)
486 >1200k transistors (the 486 had an FPU)

(As the GDR also illegally cloned DEC MicroVax systems, there is a "U80701" MicroVax clone with 130k transistors, same like the 286 clone. This doesn't seem to have gone into production)

The reason the GDR could not pull it off where manifold. First the Eastern block countries tried a different concept in IT in the 50s and 60s compared to the West, that proved not as practical. Second the GDR lost time by reverse engineering and spending money on smuggling CPUs and machines. Third the West had a huge network of companies building a supply chain for production of semiconductors. The GDR (or Eastern block) would have needed to bootstrap the whole supply chain by it's own. The Western supply chain in semiconductors was probably 1000x the value and people the GDR did or could spend.
24 hour news stations should be banned along with on the hour news. The constant feed of content edited to poke our serotonin receptors serve no real benefit. News 3 or 4 times a day should be plenty, very very few news stories require blow by blow coverage. The news has just turned into another thing to buy/sell our limited attention for profit.

It feels weird not to drive a car because you don't like the CEO. Maybe that's just me though. Usually scummy CEOs lead obviously scummy companies (think Oracle), and I wouldn't want their products at all. Musk defies that: he is questionable in personality and ethics but SpaceX/Tesla are honestly great companies with good products.
One of the best resources on cycling technical and practical knowledge. Without hesitation, as a former pro mechanic the shop i worked in referenced him often and for some of the trickier stuff too.

Currently we are restricted by knowledge cutoff of chatgpt.

If I understood correctly, you want a more advanced system, which would go search the internets for a given topic, collect a set of webpages around it, and come up with an organised presentation of information, in form of an article or a book.

It could also possibly suggest a set of topics given the users interests.

Sounds like an interesting and much more advanced project.
Awesome, thank you for following up! Will give this a read before bed. Would love to understand the encryption pieces, as I very much get the need for frequent updates of permissions (typically append, only sometimes remove). If you ever happen to blog about it please let me know :)
"Torch replacement"? Title should be "Candle: Minimalist ML framework for Rust" if anything.
> Prototype in Python, but scale in Rust.

Not even. Some people start building big systems with Java or Go. It's entirely appropriate to start in Rust too once you're more proficient in it.
The problem is that people don't just ignore the mainstream news media. A lot of them also turn to fringe channels that peddle an alternative view of the world that's more affirmative of their own worldview - without being more truthful. It's going to be a huge challenge to every democracy because people will fundamentally disagree about basic facts.
Very easy to disagree with a paper that isn't reproducible. By all means, try asking the questions on your own instance of GPT-4 and see if you can get the results the paper claims.
That depends on their expectations, and is a matter of opinion. Clearly others disagree with you.
>then increase tax past say 100k/employed person in company of revenue.

That would cover most professional services firms (eg. lawyers/accountants). I don't really see why they should be considered worse than a mcdonalds.

>Taxing on income made sense to make investing into expansion a good thing, but those companies clearly don't need to be bigger, it seems to just make stuff worse and worse.

TSMC brings in 73.67 billion/year in revenue. Equifax only brings in 5.12 billion/year. Which one is making stuff "worse and worse"? Surely there's a better metric than dollar amounts, which totally ignore the financial nature of the underlying industry?

Right, but see, that leadership principle is only relevant to employees, and the leaders decided that these people are not employees.
