> don't handle high dimensional (even 32D, fairly primitive by ML standards) spaces.

You're confusing two different notions of dimensionality here. The Geometric Algebra of 32D is actually a 2^16 (i.e. 65536) dimensional vector space. So it's like talking about vectors in 65536 dimensions, or the space of 256x256 matrices.
> At 7% annualised, those $38K would deliver around $33M over 100 years.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your point.

If you invest that $38K then you will have $33M after 100 years time.

If you paid that $38K to Wordpress then you won't see a cent of that money back.

I don't see how it makes financial sense to give $38K to Wordpress rather than investing it yourself and paying monthly hosting fees.
I work in a major tech company and never check email outside work hours, which I cap at 40 hours a week. I never work weekends, never check work during weekends or vacations.

I make much more than my European peers, have a better car, better weather and bigger house. I have 25 days of paid vacation. While this is better than the US average, I don't know a single person in my friends group wanting to trade the US for Europe, including my Europe-born friends.
I could not think of a single wordpress post or blog which would be worth preserving 100yrs.

If we create something of value it will naturally survive. Artificially extending the life of something transient is a waste.

When we except that both what we create and ourselves are transient, life become better. Concentrate on the now.

Edit: not sure which reply to reply to, so commenting here.

My badly made point was that trying ourselves to insure the longevity of something we create is not the best use of our time and resources.

If we create something of value, and it means something to other people, it will spread, and it will be saved for the future and future generations.

Society saving things for the future is essential, and we generally do a good job of it.
So the total rent is 1k or 2k?
The truth is, producing new stuff follows the law of diminishing returns in every category. After the point where the diminishing returns is really noticeable, new inventions and research actually becomes harmful and pathological. That includes many academic research fields and most technology today.

In fact, if you add up all the breakthroughs we've accomplished, most of it is just helping us use resources more efficiently so that we use more of them, eating them all up like a virus.

We should have stopped most research and technological invention long ago, and instead focused on sustainability and trying to reach an equilibrium with our natural environment.
The core technology doesn't have to be the moat, the same way word processing algorithms didn't become a moat. Someone will build product(s) on top of LLMs which tons of non technical users will use, and those products will not be easily dispoable for non technical users. Most non technical users find it hard to change messaging apps just for the UI sake, even if all contacts are there. They will definitely stick to their equilibrium LLM products.
Oops, you're right. I'll be deleting the original post.
Good research, bad title.

This is not a long distance entanglement. As before/always, you can't put one electron on Earth and another entangled electron on the Moon and use this for FTL communication, or put a detector in the middle and see a passing wave of entanglement or unentaglement or something. So nothing changed.

The idea is that two electrons can have the same spin or the oposite spin [1]. If they have oposite spin we call it a "singlet", and if they have the same spin we call it a "triplet".

In this case both electrons are inside a molecule, so they are very close. Most of the times, the electrons will have the oposite spin. Moreover this molecules have a lot of pairs of electrons with the same spin that we are hiding under the rug. This particular molecule, have a pair of unpaired electrons, and most of the times they are a "singlet" but sometimes a "triplet".

I would not call these electrons "entangled". I reserve the word "entangled" for "long distance entanglement". For short distance like inside the same molecule I'd use "correlated" or "coupled". The abstract algebra is the same in all cases, so it's a problem of how we call it. But short distance effects are too commons, the weird unexpected cases are the "long distance entanglement.

In this case, it's easier to do the calculations if you ignore all the singlets and imagine the triplets are pair of perfectly glue together electrons and watch they move as as a single "particle". So we call the idealized magically glued pair of electrons a "quasiparticle". In this case, since it's a triplet moving around the call it a "triplon" [2].

They made a chain of molecules. All of them had singlets that we are ignoring. Then they flipped of them to create a "triplon" and used a tunnel microscope to "watch" how the "triplon" moved from molecule to molecule. [3]

[1] Some technical details are intententionaly missing.

[2] The quasiperticles are very common. The most famous example are the holes in a semiconductor.

[3] I think they measure the dispersion relation, not a isolated triplon moving, but I don't understand all the details. So perhaps they measure waves made of trilons.

I already pointed out how the definition "collusion" doesn't fit most union agreements. You have not shown there is collusion. Instead, you double down and say it's a cartel.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel

> A cartel is a group of independent market participants who collude with each other in order to improve their profits and dominate the market.

If there is no collusion, there is no cartel.

Where is the collusion?

If 7-11 and Coca-Cola reach an agreement for Coca-Cola be the sole cola supplier to 7-11 in exchange for a reduced price, that is not collusion, that is not a cartel, that is not anti-competitive.

Yet if 7-11 and labor organization reach an agreement that the labor organization be the sole supplier of a certain type of labor, that is collusion, a cartel, and anti-competitive?

Where is the collusion?
The marketing trick of playing on the concepts of birth, childhood, life, longevity, legacy etc. for a blog/website comes off as a bit pretentious and lacking in taste, as if the WordPress subscription were a family heirloom.
The other component of the regulatory package, the DMA (Digital Markets Act), brings interoperability obligations. This aspect is arguably primarily related to competition rather than content moderation, which is why it falls under the DMA rather than the DSA (Digital Services Act).
Yes, I agree with that. For example, if you really think something is worthwhile, write a book instead of keeping it on Wordpress.
Disclaimer: I'm a Wordpress plugin developer and my opinions are my own.

This is a really weird offering from Automattic and IMO the price is pretty insane. I would love for Automattic to actually focus on Gutenberg/Wordpress and get it in a decent state for development. They're at major version 16 and continue to push breaking changes to peoples page layouts. They've made countless decisions that just plan don't make sense. Until the past year I'd consider Gutenberg an abject failure; now, it is at least usable. There's a good reason its had a 1 star rating on the Plugin marketplace until a few months ago. It still doesn't have 5% of the feature set of something like Divi, Elementor, Avada, Salient or any of the other big names in WP themes/website builders. Elementor is so massive people sell themes built for it! I think it is incredible what Matt has accomplished with WP and his vision is admirable but I think its time for him to step aside and let Automattic find someone else to lead and refocus on their core product.
The concept of axioms should disprove that notion pretty quickly.

If axioms are natural, why do you have to assume them to be true? Why haven't they been proven to be true?
I download the torrent file and use a service like put or seedr. There’s no need to have a torrent client on your devices.
You still hit weird limits. Perhaps the M1 is a better value proposition now, but with the A series transcoding videos was choppy at best, and you'd have to choose to "share" them to VLC every damn time.

Youtube playback would stop everytime another video starts playing somewhere (additional fun when it's just a video ad that actually had no sound in the first place).

SMB file management is still an afterthought, so you end up needing a plex server dealing with all the complexity the iPad can't deal with.

Browsing is the same, outside of the Safari limitation, extensions are few and tab management a pain in general.

For books and magazine it's kinda the same. It works fine for light use. It becomes frustrating if it's something you actually care about.

In the end, I realized I actually care less about visual polish and more about having complete functionalities, at the price of dealing with Windows and managing a computer instead of an appliance.

Too bad that USB-C is so poorly designed from a mechanical standpoint. Apple's Lightning connectors are robust, but for some reason the consortium that developed USB-C decided they needed to make it more complicated so that both the male and female connectors are prone to wearing out and getting loose.
By giving it to Wordpress, it's done, you don't have to think about it anymore, and whatever happens in your life, that content is staying up for those 100 years.

You're paying for the security / peace of mind, and I'm sure you can picture some people preferring to do that than to self-manage hosting content (and updating technology over time) for 100 years.

Edit: Having said that, I don't think Wordpress is the right fit for this. I think it should've been a separate company, with a separate brand and a separate legal structure that enforced keeping things up for 100 years and enforced using the investment profits to keep the content up and maintain the infrastructure even as technology changed.
Agree!

Right but even staying within Python there is plenty to learn and lots of evolution and new stuff coming up over time.

Right now I am running Fedora 38 with Gnome on Wayland, enabling experimental fractional scaling, and my two 4k screens are displaying wonderfully at 1.75x. The settings app allows you to do it per-screen, and it also works fine for me. Although I mostly have the same scaling in both displays since both are equal.
It looks to me like apt might be a poor fit for a package like youtube-dl - unless I'm reading this wrong it looks like the packaged version is a couple of years out of date: https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar/youtube-dl

Due to its nature something like youtube-dl needs to be constantly updated, as it's scraping websites that are constantly changing. So best to install it through other mechanisms like pip instead.
it isn't a real download, because you don't have access to the raw file.

This is a microcosm of my experience with Ubuntu.

Install something with apt, run into an issue... Oh, the version is ancient, and its fixed in official releases.

Then my options are:

- Fight with apt/.deb packaging and try to roll it forward, maybe breaking my system.

- Figure out how to compile it from source, and manually integrate it until its kinda like the system package.
The point is not simple. It’s the most perfect summary of the biggest problems in software engineering ever written.

Yes it is extremely difficult and expensive but thats besides the point, what I'm getting at here is its unworkable/unfeasible.

You will inevitably break ITAR, this is why most companies under ITAR (& gov agencies like NASA: https://www.nasa.gov/careers/working-with-nasa) does exactly what SpaceX is being prosecuted (persecuted) for.

This is a cut and dry case of political persecution. Not only was this practice not scrutinised, its commonplace and recommended by other agencies (intelligence/enforcement). Refugees/Asylees is a common way to get spies into the country.

SpaceX (any other company) would love to hire cheap labour that would be extremely gracious for the opportunity. They are literally using videos by Elon Musk in the case where he is saying ITAR laws are silly (I disagree btw).

I could not agree more. Hashicorp are not the baddies. They did what they chose is right for them. They have any right to do so. Also, what Hashi did for OSS in the last decade is amazing, made OSS better and built many communities. Now it is time for something/somebody else to keep Terraform OSS. env0 is proud to take a significant part in this initiative (together with our friends in other companies and the support we got from the community so far), forking Terraform into opentf and donating opentf to CNCF/LF.

Ask HN: Is It Worth Building the Next Headless CMS?
I've been diving deep into content management systems lately, and I'm thinking about building something new – a platform that's all about making content work easier, super user-friendly, and smooth as silk.

Imagine a place where writers, bloggers, marketers, and businesses can effortlessly handle their content and subscriptions.

We're talking about a space where a friendly interface, making money from subscriptions, working together on edits, and getting real insights all come together like magic.

Others do this too. But spicing up with fresh ideas or refining the writing journey would boost the process. Think interactive blogs, AI writing help, and unique reading experience etc...

But before I jump into the deep end, I'd love to hear from you. Have you ever run into tough times trying to sort out your content online?

Do you think there's room for some new ideas in how we do content management? Would you be excited about a fresh, next-gen CMS?

Your thoughts really matter here. So, what do you think?

In any case, any initiative for fighting link rot and keeping a healthy internet are really welcome. So in that regard, sharing their playbook with their learnings on how to guarantee 100 years of service could be an incentive for other companies to offer something similar.

I hope they release more details about this service, because the video is cool but there is almost no material information on the site.

What does that mean? By what measure is "too much"?

Certainly true. But some things are very, very much worth preserving and we don't necessarily know what those things are in the present.
Feel this, as someone running a modest solo side business.

FPGAjobs.com runs on a single Django app, with some Bootstrap-flavored templates on the frontend. Very little JS, ideally none at all.

It was a learning curve to implement Django at first (I’m not a SWE by training), but now that I know it, it’s fast and easy to add new features. You don’t get that kind of iterative speed when you’re constantly in the early stages of a technology learning curve. I’ll never give up Django. I’d rather sell the business to someone who knows how to scale it than switch tech stacks. That’s just not what I want to do.

It’s easier to get that dopamine hit of “ship thing, watch it get used” when you know your tools well enough to be able to ship and iterate quickly.
