I got one too and they really rock! I read papers on them mostly and the odd text book. I had a Kindle fire reading novels but have last it recently. I'll maybe take a sieve or of your book (ha!) and try converting everything to PDF, but I really like the built in dictionary on kindles. just wish The DPT-S1 was open to writing your own apps for, I would have done it by now.
I am confused by your argument.

Is OF exploitation in your view? If so, how?

If sex-related work was legalized (as OF is), would you think OF would no longer be the butt of jokes or do you think performers on OF would then turn to newly legalized sex acts?

For my projects I use containers. My rule is `docker build .` in the project directory must build the project and run all the necessary tests. It works for all technologies I had to use so far.

Making `docker build .` run on push is not a hard task and probably could be done in a few hours with cloud services. I spent a day to write a custom github workflow to run it on our runner, but that's probably not needed for most people.

After your OCI image is built, you can push it into the registry.

I guess that counts as CI.

Now E2E tests: I don't know anything simple yet. I guess I can hack together some script which will run docker compose and invoke that script with github push webhook. Probably would do it that way. Should work for not-so-complex projects.
Yet I saw an interview with Marvin Minsky who says the turing test is useless. Having imaginary goalposts mean they might always end up being moved...so maybe the issue is those who are fascinated with goalposts. "Signing off"
A mile is 5280 feet because it is 80 chains (survey chains) long. The chain's length is a byproduct of English land tax laws which were by the acre.

The roman mile was 1000 paces, or 5000 feet, which made a bit more sense.

Median income in Germany was $32,133 the most recent year for which OECD has data (2019)[0]. Median income in Mississippi was $24,509 in 2019[1]. Mississippi uses an unusual amount of slave labor (legally, of course) to generate that GDP with fully 1% of their population in prisons.

Personally, having spent time in both Mississippi and Germany, I think quality of life is higher is Mississippi for some people, and it is higher in Germany for other people. If you are wealthy enough to own land, get medical care out of state, and enjoy semi-rural living (it has some decent city life but if you like that there are better places to live), Mississippi offers a lot. If you like great schools and walkable cities, Germany can be pretty great, though it helps greatly to learn the language.

I'd actually like the llvm-mos to do an automated AoS to SoA analysis and rewrite, but haven't gotten around to it yet. There aren't any intrinsic theoretical obstacles I'm aware of though; it's just difficult code to write.

Now that this has come up again as the stock reason "you can't do C well on the 6502", replacing the stack, the zero page, and the register set, I'm probably going to reprioritize it and put the register allocator on pause.
Which lightweight markup formats?
How about dropping CPU clock speed until the computation actually takes avg 5-10 seconds?
I have a pretty awful view of this:

In the less complex jobs, they struggle to get things like paternity leave and time off. We have those. We should be looking at those ridiculous things we think we don't deserve and organizing to get them. We could be a leading example for the industries that come behind us.

Paid time off is common in softwareland. Let's make it mandatory "you must take 4 weeks off minimum a year". We know "unlimited time off" is a guilt-tripping farce.

If 1 software dev can add billions of dollars of value to a company, we should be getting these ridiculous things. These things that seem like coddling us. Maybe even a formula for "if i added x% profit, I deserve y% of that"

I think hollywood is ahead of us on compensation formulas imo.
Everyone wound up having to use CCbill so CCbill ran an iron fist and you couldn't argue with them at all. The guy who paid me was an absolute POS with drug/alch, anger and other issues. He's been arrested many times. So yeah, you were lucky to be paid reliably. He'd come in and fire half/all of the staff (acts and tech people) and offer us thousands of dollars to show up the next day. I was young and abuse-vulnerable at that time. It was the most money I'd made ever at that point. Same with a lot of the acts. A lot of us just dealt with it.
I grew up in a megachurch but I wouldn’t call it a “megachurch”. It (Manchester UMC) is large at about 2500 members but still does the services in the same format as it has been doing since as early as I can remember. However, I have been to a couple of “megachurches” with that style of service and can comment on the appeal.

Services at a megachurch have almost a laid back rock concert type atmosphere. There is a lot of contemporary music played and everything else is made to be as “soulful” and engaging as possible. It’s a very unique atmosphere, but the appeal is much the same as something like a country music concert. The services are a whole production.

The other advantage big churches have (and I did see this with my church growing up) is that larger communities make a lot of things easier. It’s easier to form service missions, bible groups, youth activities, etc, because it’s much easier to reach a critical mass when you have such a large congregation to pull from.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation: How to Use Your Data to Guide LLMs
> The negative outcomes are mainly due to societal stigmatization

disagree - ordinary citizens often do not get to see the inpatient room at rehab clinics, emergency rooms and court hearings. The fun ends pretty quickly for a lot of people. not making this up "real"
OF network effects don’t seem that strong to me. I am not a user but I see a lot of TikTokers directing people to OF and assuming this is how they derive their viewership, those performers could just direct the potential client to a different platform. Unless I am mistaken, OF doesn’t have discovery features or other features that would be the source of stickiness to the platform. Isn’t it essentially just a webhost with payment system?
Wow this thing could fire $300m worth of ammo in half an hour with no pauses
> [designers] would laugh in your face if you told them that fonts are something that ought to be provided "for free"

That's a big *whoosh* or else you just felt like attacking a strawman.

Like I already said, I'm referring to how all major operating systems (including desktop Linux distros) bundle dozens of fonts to cover common needs. No average consumer is expected to spend additional money gaining the ability to see Greek math symbols or pseudo-handwriting or whatever.

It isn't the 1990s where you might see a retail-display box for Microsoft Windows 3.x adjacent to Microsoft TrueType Font Pack for Windows and Adobe Type Basics.

Similarly, disk-defragmentation tools are now in there "for free", and a TCP/IP stack is there "for free", etc.
But unions are not all the same. And I was not trying to make a point about union membership at all. I was rather lamenting economic policy. Some economists and some industrialists believe in keeping wages low to remain competitive. This thinking is present in Germany but (it seems to me) that it is less present in California. In my opinion, the long term economic effect of low wages is economic stagnation, even if you might remain economically competitive on the world stage. Eventually the rest of the world would move on and whatever role you were filling would disappear anyway.
Software engineers often have a strange attitude, thinking they don't need unions, when pro athletes who make $millions per year all have unions. There's a myth that with unions, everyone will make the same compensation, but that's not even remotely true in pro sports.

The reason to have a union is that no matter how much money you make, the owners of the business have more money and power. Collective bargaining is a counterweight to the power of ownership.

And it's not just about money, it's about working conditions. For example, labor unions could fight back against back-to-the-office demands, whereas without a union, employees are forced to individually consent or lose their job.

> What does it mean to understand a piece of work? Do I have to read the sheet music?

Not necessary to read the score. But a familiarity with the structural conventions helps the listener contextualize the listening experience. If I listen to Mozart or Haydn, I should expect that I’m going to hear something in sonata form, meaning melodic exposition, thematic development and recapitulation, with some variations around that format. If I hear a Bach fugue, I’m going to hear even more formalized structure, a subject (ie theme) and then restatement of the theme (initially a perfect 5th lower) then introduction in other voices and elaboration.

Maybe there’s even a wider context to place it in. History, how the structural and other elements mirror similar characteristics in the visual arts, architecture etc.

That reads quite differently from your statement. The limits imposed by app stores are real challenges that keep people from building apps. That’s a very logical reason to avoid it. It seems your original statement would be better phrased, “There is no logical reason why there should be so many boundaries preventing everyone from having an app.”

But even then, it ignores the technical hurdles an individual or organization must leap to build an app. Languages and ecosystems to learn, full of idiosyncrasies and best practices. Complexities of deployment pipelines, seeking incompatibilities between devices. I’ve worked with Android before and lemme tell you, I’ll move to a different industry before I do that again. (Kotlin is wonderful, at least!)

Compared to web, where you pick the browsers you want to support and it works. Where there is constant warfare between vendors to improve performance and get closer to the native experience. Where you have a massive pool of talent and a low barrier to entry. How is this even close?
both carbon offset and the business surrounding it (especially carbon sequestration) are mostly for the purpose of virtue signaling. it’s no different from the sunday confessions held mostly in catholic cathedrals, where one can sin all they want during the week and have it all forgiven in a couple minutes talk with a priest. if you can keep current operations as is, reap massive profits, and pay pennies towards carbon removal, which dumb business executive will refuse?
I moved to the boonies for my kiddo to be near his remaining family.

I miss the city very very much. Really, it's the food.

I mean, if all you like is hamburgers and bar food, yeah, the boonies are great.
Do you know about Postgraphile? Your comment did not address that part, I’m curious too
That is so incredibly naive. When you and your family is distracted with trauma and turmoil at every turn, there is no precedent for curiosity about anything except how to survive the current state of affairs. This is extremely basic stuff. It's literally just rational prioritization of concerns. If you can't grasp that, you have other problems that aren't being discussed in this discussion.

Children living in poverty will surely use LLMs, but they will continue to lack the capacity for curiosity and intentional learning. They will use LLMs to assist with the same things they invest their energy in without LLMs, which is their immediate life challenges and psychological escapism. And insufferable people like you will blame them when your ignorant plan inevitably fails.
an interesting fact into how I ran into this is that this article is the first link in Guido Van Rossum's homepage [0] where he quotes "gawky and proud of it". Indeed Guido makes a quick appearance in the article and is indeed described as such. I had to look it up: gawky means tall and awkard.

Lock a bunch of men with a few women on island. Do it with a limited amount of food. See what decency is left.

If you want decency education is not the only thing required. Environment matters. You need food, you need resources. For men they need an outlet for sexual urges.

This is reality. If you a think foundation of decency is purely built on "education" then you need to see reality for what it truly is.
>To be specific, 5280 feet = 1 mile didn't happen until 1959 and the United States needed higher precision and remove all the fuzziness out of the units. It might be inconvenient on some aspects, but it was also "close enough" to what miles were already established to be.

uh what? are you sure you're not mixing that up with the international geophysical year or something? the mile has been 1760 yards since before the US even existed. it's called the imperial system because of the british empire. they couldn't have done the great trigonometrical survey of india without an accurate mile.
As much as I love Pis (I have six or seven around doing home automation, 3D printer servers, etc.), I should point out that just about any cheap Intel with QuickSync support will do hardware transcoding vastly better (I use an Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8350, which is way worse than the current crop of sub-$200 miniPCs).
Proprietary, but also free because they are bundled with our OS.

Agreed. That comment doesn't seem to break any rules. Is "flagged" something that just means enough people downvoted it, or does it require moderator intervention?
If those could be filtered out then LinkedIn would be a wasteland.

Notably that puts them in the same category as Ireland, Japan, Norway, and Greece on this report. The list of "tier 1" countries is pretty short, much of the world is in "tier 2" with Ukraine.
I don't follow.
What species of females are you hanging with? :-)
We are using the same science that drove Dreem. You can't do neurofeedback without high resolution data and real-time stimulation.

We are currently designing the data experience. What is valuable to show people. Hypnograms are everywhere, and it tells part of the story of sleep, but we're looking if there is a better way to explain sleep to people, and particularly what the stimulation is doing in their sleep.

This is because the stimulation doesn't significantly change the amount of time spent in deep sleep. It alters sleep depth, but that is different from time.

The measure used in neuroscience is delta power, but that isn't something we can expose to the target audience (I don't think) or not in the way it is currently spoken about. So we are looking at how to package that.

Is that what you were asking? For what data we will expose? Or did you have another question about the tracking?
You might want to read up on what that term means.

Yes. Some people (especially when they're trying to sound formal or impartial) use the passive voice way too much.
And the number of seconds in a year is π*10^7, or close enough.
You can. We just had a wildfire here and in a few spots, where the rocks formed a natural chimney filled with flammable material, the rocks have vitrified and deformed. You just need intense heat for a prolonged period - if they could do it with mounds of gorse, it can still be done.
I view it more as a “% of resources” and “required number of nines uptime” kind of thing. If you’re a solo founder pre-PMF or even pre-customers, pausing feature work to build infra for 2 weeks is IMO often going to be excessive.

If you have a couple engineers and you spend one engineer for one sprint to get things running automated for the next quarters push, that could be a good spend.

The MVP of CI/CD is a few hours wiring up Gitlab/GH Actions. The MVP of e2e tests is more variable but a moving skeleton can be hours if no UI, days if including browser testing.

However what makes sense for a first pass is very context-dependent.
thats a simple approach, application of a pseudo tissue similar to skingrafting is another, implantation of 'scaffold' protien construct, implanted with stem cells is another. e.g. 'ghost' organs or tissue, grafting.

a somewhat complex approach is to "wipe" [dedifferentiate] in situ stem cells in vivo, allowing surrounding tissue signaling to program stem cells and induce a developmental path.

keep in mind i am being simple for the sake of understanding.
This post also has a nice rule of thumb that 111,111 * cos(latitude) meters is 1 degree of longitude. I like the correction! In practice you can use some simple constants; 25° is about 100,000 meters. 44° is about 80,000 meters. 57° is about 60,000 meters.
Ukraine's supply lines and staging areas are largely Nato nations and resources.

Direct attacks on them would trigger Article 5.

This is one case where asymmetric advantages favour Ukraine over Russia.

As to general availability: I'm presuming individuals or non-governmental entities would have access to the technology. Again, in Ukraine there seems to be far greater alignment against a common enemy, as illustrated by Russia's failure to avert open rebellion within its own allied forces, and apparent organic resistance and sabotage withing Russia and Belarus against Russian forces and logistics infrastructure.
My observation of UU is that it's not really about disbelief and skepticism like an atheist meetup. It's more the liberal/progressive ideology wrapped in a church interface. They talk a lot about peace and love, and fighting stuff like climate change, fascist ideas, and inequality.

Since I moved back to the Midwest (not sure if that was a terrible idea), UU feels like a microcosm of the Bay Area.

Maybe the "problem" is that younger people who want to make the world better tend to move to places where stuff actually happens, instead of sitting around talking about it.
I don't really know much about it but OF has this right side "menu" of suggested people to watch. But I've never figured out how they related to anyone else I've watched. Most of the organic network-growing that I see on OF is one model/act will tag their friend/business partner in a post. It's kind of amazing to me how little effort they've put in to building that part of the site up because that would drum up so much more sticky (viewing not fluids) activity and keep people on the site longer.
What this kind of proposal needs is a name the progressive and moderate left can rally around. Something akin to “living wage”.

Mandating a “living wage” makes some things noticeably more expensive: Burgers, rideshares, lawn care, …

A serious, effective carbon tax will make gas more expensive. Maybe 50 cents/gallon.

If the voting public felt the same way about gas prices as they do about the minimum wage—if you can’t afford it your financial model is immoral—an effective carbon tax would be a political slam dunk.
They don't.

Living wood is very very hard to ignite. It would need to dry for several months before it can sustain a fire without help.

It's not like grass that can dry completely (and the leaves are dead, but not the roots) and then can catch fire. With a vine if it's dead (and getting dryer) it's not coming back - so pull it off the house.
This is more or less what a search fund does. Their typical buyout target is a business with no continuity plan and a founder looking for an exit.

This seems like a reasonable take on the situation. I've personally always wondered about the relative cost of "under-employment" (allowing wages to go much lower) vs. "partial re-employment" (time and effort needed for retraining to other high-paying jobs, moving to those jobs, and some % of people who are physically/mentally unable to make that transition).

That's the point. Rich people are free to make generous benefactions but they'd rather retain control and when that's impossible they whinge that society is limiting their generosity.

IIRC the pre WWII era Japanese wooden school buildings were at least originally meant to be torched every 2-3 decades and rebuild for hygienical reasons. Not sure if it was ever practiced in the end.
I find it wonderful that they are learning to live with a nice successful society that is not in a state of constant exponential growth, and they've resisted doomers and deranged neoliberal calls to keep massively expanding population.
