Associated Press clarifies standards around generative AI
I really like this idea. Reading other peoples code is one of the best ways to learn to code in my opinion.

Yet at the same time, a part of learning / understanding from reading other peoples code (given it's of good quality) is that you have to manually recreate what they're doing in your head without the comments.

I think for educational purposes the "educational comments" that you add have to hit a balance of explaining what the code does, without just explaining away an entire function. To that end, it might be better to add more comments in regards to specific lines, while letting the learner put the pieces of the different lines together themselves.

An extension that I'd like to see of this is many different types of codebases commented like this (OS, React, DBMS, etc etc) with additional information and diagrams about the overall design of the program and its different parts. Looking at and understanding a single file is all well and good, but without the context of how it fits into the bigger picture a lot of the potential learning is lost.

Serde, to the limited extent that I understand it, works because it is a single shared interface - multiple forks would be counter to the purpose of the project. That said, here we're talking about serde-derive specifically, so it's not quite a fork of the serde interface that we're talking about. But, I can understand why people might be upset that such an important a piece of the Rust ecosystem is such a flashpoint.

I have a question about this. The page says that uBOL has "limited capabilities out of the box" due to it "not [requiring] broad 'read and modify data' permission". But you can give it broad permission ("Complete mode"). Does that mean that if someone uses uBOL in Complete mode (a) it will have the same capabilities as uBO", and (b) it will use less resources than uBOL (no permanent process)?
I suspect two things:

Tangentially related to OP but has anyone found a smooth way to move purchased music from Bandcamp to a private storage location somewhere? Currently I'm downloading music manually and dropping it into a sync location, which is kind of a hassle.

PS- beets (beets.io) is an incredible tool for ingesting music in a standard way. My typical workflow is to dump albums into an inbox and ingest them further using beets. beets maintains a library db which I could see managing with Git, but idk why you’d track the raw files when you could use something simple like rsync to backup to a coldstorage location (either NAS or cloud).
After being on the inside and outside. Can confirm.

For decades on the inside I was pissed that we paid consultants since we already knew what to do.

Now being a consultant. I see this is true. The main thing we bring is just aggregation and bodies. (and someone to blame). But hate being apart of it. Really the customers should staff up some and do their own internal consulting.

Large corporations should just die, they are not efficient, not innovative, they are just a large pooling of capital that takes on its own life and feeds on humans.

The remedy is to switch to Firefox and continue using the extensions that aren't being broken on purpose by a company abusing their monopoly position.

But there will be a bunch of posts in this thread about people bemoaning Firefox because they have to have thousands of tabs open all at once everyday and Firefox renders them a second or two slower. There will also be people who will complain that the dev tools aren't exactly like what they learned in college/their boot camp so they can't spend dozens of minutes learning the Firefox tools so they can make their CRUD SPA can load megabytes of JSON outside of Chrome
Quite.

Thankfully the practice of just randomly shelling out to 'random' programs (like the core tools) has been stemmed somewhat, so perhaps we're mostly safe from RCE via that vector. Downloaded files might still be a vector, tho. Maybe I'm an optimist even though I sound very pessimistic.

Definitely agree, LLMs are only as useful as the person interpreting and implementing the output; if someone doesn't have enough knowledge or context about the thing they are trying to solve/create then copy & pasting blindly while asking the wrong questions will lead projects to disaster.

I have witnessed this firsthand when I dove into the deep end on something over my head, GPT-4 Code Interpreter went into an error loop and I had to learn all of the background knowledge I was foolishly trying to avoid.

I used to open source every single thing I built. But recently, I stopped doing that because now I build everything as a single monorepo. All of my completely disconnected side project ideas are all in one repo and I'm much more happy being able to keep this like dependencies up to date in one place instead of having a different repo per project.

I would like to go back to open sourcing all things I play with but maybe I need to find a repo structure and tooling that would make that more sustainable.
Rumor would mean that I don’t have personal knowledge. I do. It is not a rumor, but rather an anecdote, and the source will remain unknown and unposted. I appreciate your reply.

Wow! This might just be what I've been hoping for, since 2020.

What I hoped for was more of a generic backend for multiplayer games.

But this is even better. It looks like a next-gen bittorrent which natively supports operations?

How did the EU support something like this without worrying about misuse?

It would be fun to build something like a Blender plugin that allows people to cooperate on free 3D models and animations. But it's also unclear whether anyone would be legally liable when something goes wrong.

(Edit: It sounds like we want to avoid legal issues by having everyone run their own local instances. I like that feeling of hosting our own servers. But something just feels odd. Since when are we allowed to be so open? What's the catch?)
what is the other way?
On Google Pixel devices you can load your own verified boot key into the "avb_custom_key" partition and then it will only boot OSes signed by it (it will also say that you are running a different operating system in the boot screen).

GrapheneOS for instance uses this mechanism.

Unfortunately you can only register one key and you have to wipe the device to change it, but that's still fine for most use cases.
> Forget the diets and the programs and the plans. Pay attention to what you eat and how it makes you feel, adjust accordingly.

Wipe the device as a condition of unlocking the bootloader root trust keyset. Easy, and more secure than any classic x86 UEFI bootloader. That gets rid of the threat of dodgy repair shops.

The only issue will be manipulating devices before they're sold the first time, but tamper-proof packaging resolves that.
C# and TypeScript have both been pretty open (in nature and source) for roughly a decade. Which I appreciate. Although, I'm somewhat apprehensive about some of MS's moves with the .Net community, and their holding back on quality of life improvements for C# projects in VS Code.

Although, MS hasn't caused me to generally avoid .Net so much as the more "enterprise" nature of most of the projects I've had experience with. I started with .Net (C#) in 2001, and to this day think there is a lot to like there. Of course these days, I'd appreciate the opportunity to work with Rust more than C#.
There was (there is, but now he is older and much less popular) a famous Italian TV host, Giovanni Minoli, who had the same style of interviewing (you can find some of his interviews from the 1980s and 1990s on youtube; they are in Italian, but you can use a youtube translation tool). He was quick to speak, did not let the interviewee finish, and used to jump from one topic to another suddenly and unexpectedly. The same style as TC's, but Minoli and his team were way more prepared.
That assumes that women working weren’t producing anything, and the construction industry didn’t get more workers as women joined the workforce. Neither are true, our society is actually wealthier with more production, but because land is limited (and doesn’t expand with working population growth), we use some of that more wealth to bid up desirable housing.
> If you can fork and reuse, then "source-available" is probably a poor term for said license.

I agree. Yet projects using said licenses get shamed into adopting the term "source-available" even though it doesn't fit, while "open-source" actually makes more sense in terms of communicating freedoms. It's all so ridiculous. Things need to change.

Solar tends to be better for grid stability since it has stable frequency and can dispatch quickly.

To deal with changes, like the evening peak, in the short-term we can keep using natural gas peaker plants. For longer term, we don't know if expensive batteries are solution. There are lots of groups working on storage, and it is possible that cheap batteries, pumped hydropower, something else, or all of the above will be the best solution. I think it isn't worth worrying about storage until we need it and know what to build.

Also, we don't need that much short-term storage, enough to deal with the evening peak and other daily variations. Long-term storage can be dealt with by overcapacity in renewables, which allows making fuels. The remaining calm, winter days can be dealt with generated fuels or natural gas.
Thanks to you asking why it's right to left instead of left to right, I have the opportunity to talk about some interesting design decisions. I agree there should be an organized pattern. For example, 1-30 lexographically. So I'll explain the hidden logic and pattern.

The three necessary primes to represent on the organized lattice are 2, 3, and 5. Given a key like 16, each of these primes should be represented in its adjacent buttons, hopefully in an axis-like manner, because these are the consonant notes to it. Left of 16 is 5/4, right is 3/4, and up-down is 2 and 1/2. But why this way?

Consonant pitches stay within a range - so large leaps in pitch are the least common. That means next to any number, the adjacent keys must have close by numbers. That's why the three primes 2, 3, 5, are converted to 2, 3/4, 5/4 - because these are the closest numbers to 1, after multiplying by a power of 2.

Your hand has a harder time reaching vertically than horizontally. 2 is the largest of these three numbers, which is why 2x is on one of the 4 vertical directions, and 3/4 and 5/4 are on the horizontal directions. Furthermore, it means that 2x must be on the 5/4 side, not the 3/4 side - because this keeps pitch distances the smallest.

There's only one remaining decision - why right to left? Your hand has an easier time turning inward than outward. And, whichever way it turns, the horizontal notes should have pitches as close as possible. Thus, 5/4 must be to the left direction.

Luckily, divisors don't exist, so the fact that the 3/4 axis and 5/4 axis are on the same line - rather than 3/4 turning to 4/3 on the opposite side - is perfectly fine.

So thanks to the above, the keyboard is forced to be this way, and every note is in its logical and rightful place, with no subjective choices. Except not, because there's not enough space. And because 7 and 15 can't be on the lattice, so they are just placed wherever there's room. 2 should really be below 1, and 3 should be where 2 is. 30 should be 40, etc. I tried to maintain the structure as much as possible but had to make things fit.

"Soylent Clear" (1995) (from Space Quest 6)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPyYFDcUwDI
I started out like the author of the blog post with a 60Watt panel and a cheap non-mppt solar controller. My balcony orientation was shit and that didn’t work out. Since then I upgraded “quite a bit”…

The challenge is more difficult than it seems. A raspberry pi 4b does ~3.4 watt idle so that’s 84 watt-hour per day. This may not sound like a lot, but for battery-powered devices it quite a bit. Microcontrollers can run months on that amount of energy, but they aren’t as convenient as the Pi.

The 12v 12ah battery used, contains 144 watt hour. Only enough to cover less than two full days with little to no sunlight.

The 50 watt panel is already small, but the non-mppt controller makes it even more inefficient. With good sunlight, the panel can easily run the pi and charge the battery during daytime.

The “real” challenge is to keep the Pi online during days of overcast weather. A 150 watt panel may only do 4-8 watt under those circumstances and that’s not enough.

But I always love these projects none the less.

Same here. Reading about people anguishing about it online only made me sink further into despair about it. And white noise, while it helped at first, eventually became sort of a crutch and didn’t really help me get over it in the long term.

What eventually worked for me ironically was reading a study that the vast majority of people with tinnitus do improve over time, whether it’s an actual reduction in the noise or at least the perception of it. Tinnitus is funny in that it bothers us because the brain sees a sound it is creating itself as a threat, and eventually it learns to longer treat itself that way.

Mine did eventually get better. I don’t know if it actually got better, or if I just stopped caring about it so much. But I do enjoy silence again because for me, this is my new form of silence. It’s still there in some form, and some days like when I’m stressed it is noticeably louder. But it no longer bothers me.
Same reason any person underprices themselves...they lack information.
I believe Firefox curates the installable extensions on android/mobile.
In practise I don't remember this being a big deal. At some point I remember helping my dad upgrade us from RISC OS 3.something to 3.11, by replacing the ROM chips, but patches to the OS loaded into RAM were unusual.

The OS in ROM was 2MiB, and looking at some module files intended for potential loading at boot time I have in an emulator, they are around 5-40kiB.

The computers typically had 2 or 4MiB RAM, so there isn't space to replace a significant amount of the OS anyway. (1MiB or 8MiB was possible, but unusual.)
> I'm not going to continue responding but I encourage anyone looking at this thread to actually read the article as this person is just blatantly mis-stating it repeatedly.

You are each failing to actually read what the other is writing. One of you is talking about properties and one of you is talking about units.

Individual investors account for 74.4% of properties, according to the article you two are both citing:

> According to the RHFS, individual investors were the biggest group in the rental housing market in 2015, accounting for 74.4 percent, or 16.7 million rental properties

but institutional investors own a majority of the units:

> Institutional investors own a growing share of the nation’s 22.5 million rental properties and a majority of the 47.5 million units contained in those properties

In addition, you are using a different definition of "institutional investor" than the article.
I don't particularly blame Mozilla/Firefox for this but it is obvious to me the writing is on the wall for the "non-lite" version of the extension, due to Chrome stealing all the manpower towards the lite version. The fact that the author is now publishing the "lite" extension also for Firefox itself looks as confirmation to me. The author's description even seems to praise Manifest v3 in the same way Google PR did.

Who wouldn't? It's one less version to maintain, and you're not going to stop maintaining the one most people use.
