> If they want to build one with zero parking spaces, let them.

The problem (in many US cities at least) is that people still buy cars even if they don't have a dedicated parking space, and then just park it on the street. Which creates problems for everyone in the city (the article cites that 30% of traffic in New York is people "cruising" and looking for parking spaces, for example).

So if you are going to let the market do its job efficiently, you also need to put the costs of street parking on the people who actually use it. The most straightforward way to do that in US is probably with more (and more expensive) metered parking, or eliminating street parking outright if the space can be used more efficiently for some other purpose (bike lanes, bus lanes, etc).
Basically an argument is this:

Android could in the future replace the Linux kernel and libs with their own Fucscia kernel/OS and (aside from some light porting effort for some minor behaviors breaking and affecting very few items) nobody would even know.

That's how non-essential Linux/UNIX/POSIX is to Android.

And that's for the kernel and libs and APIs. When it comes to the philosophy, experience, etc, it's even more remote.
Even to the modern day, there's a decent sized Anatolian genetic influence in Austria - mostly down to the Ottoman war, and deserting and/or raping janissaries. Case in point, me - I have an anatolian ancestor (unknown) from the late 17th century on that side of my family.

It's generating code for a brand new library based on explanations from me, it can write poems about the current news headlines and it can answer hypotheticals with words I've made up. I agree it cannot be just looking up stored answers.

Similarly, if you visit certain instances you will be greeted with the polar opposite of that. The inhabitants of some instances are more political than others. If you actually create an account you will be able to pick and choose whose posts you want to see.

The strictly chronological approach seems to work fairly well as long as you only follow a few people but it doesn't scale very well.
The answer to this kind of claim is in the book "The Wizard and the Prophet", which was reviewed on ACX/SSC here [1].

To summarise the review: there are two approaches to solving humanity's big problems, from food production (mostly solved) to climate change. The Prophet approach is to go around saying "we must live within our means!" and "technology bad!", and the Wizard approach is to seek techological solutions. And as the reviewer writes:

> Though Mann insists from the start that the book is not meant to advocate for or condemn either side, it was initially difficult for me to read it as anything but two-and-three-quarters cheers for Wizardry.

It turns out that Prophets tend to be misanthropes at best, and racists at worst. William Vogt, Mann's archetypal Prophet, founded (according to Mann) much of modern-day environmentalism but also (according to the review, which I personally trust) called people in India "backward populations" who "breed with the irresponsibility of codfish". Says the reviewer:

> _Which_ people deserved to live in harmony with nature in the ensuing pastoral utopia and which would be relegated to the dustbin of history was not an exercise they left to the reader.

(Meanwhile Norman Borlaug, the Wizard, was busy producing a Green Revolution that ended up raising rice yields in India from 2 to 6 tons/hectare and lowered rice costs from $550 to $200 a ton, according to the Wiki page.)

If you buy your phone from a carrier. If you buy directly from a vendor I don't see how they (carriers) would be able to inject it. Radio firmware however is, as I understand it, a completely different thing...
Love it! I use organic maps on a daily basis and it is an awesome tool even if you're just commuting.
Perhaps you might like GNU/Linux phones, which have no such problem (and also solve many other problems).
One option is that it's not Google protecting you against Google, it's Google attempting to drive other Android vendors towards the same infrastructure in order to protect users against vendors being compelled to produce targeted backdoored firmware images.
This article just keeps repeating the two concepts of Unix technology and Unix ideas but doesn't clarify what they mean by either. The links, seemingly complaining about iOS or Android, don't really seem to clarify.

It seems many want Unix technology or ideas to be about what Unix meant in the 70s and 80s and don't have much interest in moving things forward from that plateau. (To be clear, I think all the major operating systems of today leave a lot to be desired, but each one has their own pros and cons.)

Aside from the file system parts, my understanding of the idea of Unix is that it is a bunch of small utilities interacting with each other. I think almost anyone agrees with that idea, see functional programming and node based tools that link up data between dedicated functions and nodes, respectively. This idea is quite pervasive, and I don't think it was necessarily Unix that conceived of it. But in reality, the implementation of this idea in Unix leaves a lot to be desired. The collection of utilities that have very few standards in interfacing, documentation, naming, usability, and more importantly, data structures leaves one wanting. The idea that everything should be text is implicit and highly limiting. This is why programming languages that are somewhat OS-like and have their own scripting are so well liked, becuase it removes the need to worry about the various OSes' implementation of these ideas, leaving one to stay at a virtual machine level. For example, Elixir and the BEAM.

It's typically viewed as blasphamous, but I think the PowerShell model is the more powerful one if we're just considering OS-level provided interactions. But even then, restricting oneself to the terminal is limiting. I find the ideas in Smalltalk to be much more powerful and forward thinking, despite being as old as Unix itself.
That is exactly what is expected, yes.

You literally listed all the solutions in your complaint.

Buses (in the longer term, nicer vehicles) running on empty roads are prompt and fast, and more demand means so many could run that you don’t have to ‘revolve around their schedule’ - try it in any large city.

Cars have extremely large externalities that are not sustainable socially, economically (asphalt is _expensive_ to maintain at the American scale!), and environmentally.

So perhaps we should move towards more walkable / bikeable cities and lowering the shared social costs for everyone? literally everyone wins here.
> Yes, you'll get a great image that you can use once, but then what? You can't build a campaign on it.

Checkout confyui, it has an incredible amount of composability that allows you to generate new images based on others. Like image to image but on steroids.

For example, you can generate a character sheet and use it to generate the same characters on different poses using controlnet. Or you can have a base image for an object and use that to generate the same object from different angles and/or different colours etc.
To the extent that VisionScript uses it behind the scenes for various things (i.e. counting objects in a zone https://github.com/capjamesg/visionscript/blob/main/visionsc...)!
Regulation definitely raises some barriers (e.g., you can't bootstrap an amazing new banking concept in your garage - not a legal one anyway) but fulfilling the criteria for a banking license is not a major obstacle. Much of regulation is also by-and-large needed, as it is easy to implement and abuse new "schemes" (cite: explosion of crypto scams). The cost of this type of regulation is really just the cost of delivering a safe product. If anything, meeting regulatory requirements should be more efficient with a fully digital operation.

There are some further reasons that do provide a "moat" to incumbents (thus protecting against disruptability). Many parts of the financial and monetary system are effectively backstopped by the state/collective. The combination of poor oversight, confidence games, recurring bailouts and desire for political leverage means that over time the preferred pattern is to have a few opaque behemoths that operate in a close symbiotic relationship with the state.

Yet all these factors are minor in the scheme of things. Finance is like 15% of the economy. It is a huge sector with plenty of opportunity to innovate. Imho, the main reason financial services have not been digitally disrupted is that the sector is devoid of embedded technical DNA, the more so the higher up in the hierarchy. Even though it works exclusively with information, "IT" was always something outsourced to a department in the basement (and nowadays increasingly to the "cloud").

Combine that structural human capital weakness with big (ad) tech completely shaping the digital agenda, from AI chips to devices, to OSes, applications and network information flows and you get the current calm before the storm.
The second sentence, "Tonight, I'm going to Budapest" is different from the first example, even though the net result is the same - you're definitely ending up in Budapest. The second example introduces a topic (to be slightly Japanese-ish here): "Tonight". Let's talk about "tonight" and what's going to happen tonight. Well, I'm going to Budapest, that's what happens tonight. Oh, and maybe I'll do these other things too (e.g. A, B, and C).

The first sentence focuses on "going to Budapest", and "tonight" is when it happens. Nothing else about "tonight" is interesting, it's not the topic.
"Must" is debatable, but I've got a propane patio heater of a fairly common model here (NL) that tops out at 13000 watts.

If it were electric it would require a 13k/220 = 60 amp connection, triple the domestic wiring standard here.
The nice thing about stm32mp1 is that it seems to have reasonably good docs and mainline software support, so there is possibly less vendor crap to deal with. Although that is based solely on my reading of their website, so I don't know the what the reality is.
Hex keyboard, purple keys under thumbs. Extra set of temporary purple (blue) keys 1/2-1/7x, not ratios, applying to one copy only. Two copies of the green keys, one for each hand. Added numbers are 36, 40, 48; unsure about 45. 7, 14, 15, and 30 probably moved. The organized core should be continued as much as possible; I share the sentiment that ease of learning is important. The physical buttons should make fat-fingering convenient, because that's useful for fingering (and for playing lots of extra notes).

The musician probably wants his feet for other things like sustain pedal and effect pedals. I won't be too greedy :)

Though, one possible use of foot pedals is to select the instrument timbre. Since with this layout, you can take the role of two musicians, playing two different timbres, and you might as well have the flexibility to change one instrument out while the other is playing. All your fingers are occupied so it'd be hard to ask them to press extra buttons.
> All because you "ruined" their virtue-fueled dopamine drip.

You are ignoring how peoples diet have changed over the decades. Life activities were more directed towards survival, even things like growing vegetables in the back garden or allotment were hobbies to help put the icing on the cake for an otherwise functional world.

Today, with food aplenty and technological gains like mobile phones, the internet, not just social media, is perhaps best seen as a mirror of the human psyche, a mirror of the regional, national and global collective ego's.

This may well be a golden age for the advancement of psychology.
Hey, thanks for sharing, very interesting tips here. I haven't heard about a solution engineer before, would you say the difference between that and solution architect is that the former is also in charge of implementation?
I wonder how much of the hate Windows gets is simply because Windows has nothing to do with Unix's bloodlines and heritage.

Aside from cursory accomodations like the Microsoft POSIX Subsystem (what we would in theory call Windows Subsystem for POSIX if it existed today), that is.

The final price does not depend only on the production price.
You cited Lazard 2023: if you read the firming intermittency price estimations, you figure out that solar and wind in the California grid costs 2/3 times more than when just considering the LCOE. Solar and wind production can be cheaper, but the final price is way higher, and it further increases when renewables take a larger share of the energy production.
That's an constrained example of the general concept of a file-association (having a file plus the info of what application executes that file).

As such, it predates UNIX, exist in other OSes as well, and can be even more dynamic (as shebangs are hardcoded into the file, where file + executable associations could be external).

Linux offers another way anyway: linux_binfmt

If I'm not mistaken that's also how jar files can be executed by themselves without calling java on them.

The principles are good, the implementation sadly is not.

Plain data streams have outstayed their welcome. Pretty much nothing but the classic old Unix tools communicates with plain text streams. Smarter, new commandline tools tend to provide at least JSON, but there's plenty that don't and that makes them absolutely painful to reuse. I've written large amounts of code that amount to running a process, parsing its output, and then translating that to the actual API I want: methods and events. Basically all that work is a waste that doesn't actually get what I want done.

Of all things, Microsoft had a better idea with Powershell: it does the same concept, but far better.

The internet has seen something similar: a huge amount of users take a TCP socket and proceed to build an improvised messaging protocol on top, because that actually fulfills the needs of many applications far better, yet the API doesn't actually provide it.

IMO, there's been too much Unix philosophy worship. We've stuck to an early, simple idea and on the long term it's a huge detriment. Since it's so lacking, everyone builds their proprietary hacks on top.
I’m completely against closing existing nuclear plants as they are doing in Germany. The big problem with new nuclear energy seems to be build cost so it makes sense to get as much as we can from existing plants.

But at the end of the day real resources matter. Where should labour effort be directed? Costs reflect that effort.

I’m not against nuclear but if redirecting effort (money, labour) from nuclear to renewables and storage seems likely to reduce co2 emissions faster then let’s redirect that effort. It’s fine for cool technologies to be abandoned when cheaper alternatives come along.

If it’s possible to come up with a far cheaper form of nuclear power then great! But it’s hard to compete with the big fusion reactor in the sky.

VisionScript goes beyond OpenCV in terms of utilities, providing models for use out of the box.

To classify images, you can use Classify["class 1", "class 2", ...]; to run object detection you can use Detect["object"]; to run segmentation, use Segment["class"]. More abstract methods include Search[], that lets you build a semantic search engine in a few lines of code:

Load["./folder/"]
Search["coffee cup"]
Get[1] # get the top result
Show[]

Yeah just go to wikipedia and find out who coined the term :) I love the original version vector paper, it's from 1983 and kind of funny in parts:

IMO showing advertising itself is unethical and there’s no right to force anyone to see an advertisement, no matter how much some companies would like there to be.

Twitter is mostly bots. The next biggest group, about 20-30 percent are people looking for alternative but caught in the network effects. They are slowly bleeding out. The people who create the impression of overall cheer and support to every BS Elon does are a relatively tiny circle of much less than a million people. Sure, a huge crowd for a stadium. Ten stadiums, even. Enough so he can talk to a new person in that group every 5 minutes, non-stop for the rest of his life and never get to know all of them. But nothing for social media.
So, apparently, stripping headlines from articles, including only the lead image and the URL, "will help curb clickbait.”

I'm not convinced. Clickbait is just publishers optimizing click-through. If not headline is shown, it will lead to clickbait-images. I'm not sure that is going to “greatly improve the esthetics”, as Musk hopes.
And ioctl is the hack that made that idea work.

Recent openAI suddenly disabled their beta testers discord, and I couldn't see who or what we had all been discussion anymore. I wondered if there was a way to export chats so server managers couldn't just cut a community off from each other with no record to browse after. There is a bunch of chrome extensions out there to export discord chats but most seem to have some payment gated features.
turns out just copying the extension source out of the chrome folder, modifying the "is_pro" like boolean checks in js and loading it back as an unpacked extension is very easy.

Thank you so much!

I have been thinking about learning progressions with a language like VisionScript. I see a notebook-like environment being a great place to start; dragging and dropping is intuitive (and fun!).

But if that notebook can introduce someone to the same primitives they can use in a text-based programming language? That gives you the ability to help someone graduate to a full programming environment.

Notebook -> Text that uses the same syntax as the notebook (you could drag+drop in the notebook then write out the text as a starting point!) -> Writing your own programs.

A friend suggested that the implicit state approach of VisionScript could be used in other areas too like audio. I reasoned that we could actually use many of the same primitive names and syntax; just a different backend. I don't know enough about audio processing, but the idea is fascinating!
