OK, your point is well received about the etymological argument, but my real point, right after "artwork", is that yes, even photographs do require work to create. Would you say that Ansel Adams' photographs were effortless to produce? I wouldn't.
Darwin’s theory is “just a theory” in the sense that all scientific theories are just theories, and could potentially be revised if new evidence comes to light. We think the sun will rise tomorrow but that’s just a theory too.

Darwin’s theory happens to be the kind of theory that is very well evidenced and consistent with all observations to date, so it would take a truly remarkable discovery to overturn - and this ape ain’t it.
I'm not an expert on building trust, but I do know that one of the quickest ways to burn trust is to mandate an asinine RTO policy without providing good options for your employees, and options for those who may wish to remain remote forever.
It's an inhuman relation created out of the idea that women are property. The only purposes it serves is the domination of women. It's designed to limit women to one man, to ensure the husband's lineage.

Even in modern times it simply has no place. It is only limiting, never liberating. Marriage allows one partner to dictate to the other that they're not allowed to love anyone else. It's pure tyranny.

It allows one partner to steal from the other. Not only are married people considered to be joint owners of each other's property, but when divorce near-inevitably comes, it allows one to legally take the other's property. It's not at all uncommon to hear stories of "my wife/husband took everything and now I'm homeless and starving", usually from men, because society sees married women as
"dependent" on their husbands.

Personally I cant' comprehend loving someone and then going "we should file legal paperwork about this to make it arbitrarily difficult to get away from if one of us needs to get away. Why literally bind yourself to another person?

I think the only reason people get married is because they've been told that what people are supposed to do. I wholeheartedly believe nobody would do the things we call "getting married" if it hadn't already been invented, because it would sound completely absurd.

If you run Ollama locally, the cost is zero. With Replicate, you pay about $0.005 per second, so with an average of say 15 seconds per request to generate the full response, and 25 inputs per day, this comes out to ~$50/month. More expensive than classic Copilot, but also solving a different, potentially more valuable problem. Also likely that costs drop as we're seeing across the board. And at a minimum, the free tiers probably get you all the experimentation you need before figuring out which model is best :) (including Continue's free trial for GPT-4)
Directory Opus. Friends don't let friends use File Explorer.
Yes and no.

My post specifically mentions UTF-16 and WTF-16, too. The term "Unicode string" exists and is well established: https://unicode.org/glossary/#unicode_string.

Windows Unicode strings happen to fit this definition, but of course, so would UTF-8 strings. Either way, in Windows's version of reality the definition is narrowed to mean "potentially ill-formed UTF-16LE encoded string", but that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, so for better or for worse, "Unicode string" is the consistently and widely used Windows-specific nomenclature.
It is unfortunate that the rules are so vague/up for interpretation, and when you break them, it isn't explained to you that you broke them. The rule just gets cited and there you go.

This is probably because using internal mutability not to achieve a valid design goal (such as a controlled side-effect on an otherwise immutable entity), but to side-step the borrow checker for ease of programming, is not considered idiomatic Rust and even though it makes a good educational tool, it should rather not end up in production codebases.

Firstly, when using regular references, you cannot create multiple mutable references. This rule prevents subtle bugs such as data races. When using internal mutability, you still keep that protection, but it is (undesirably) delayed from compile time to runtime, potentially causing an unavoidable crash/panic.

Secondly, when using regular references, you cannot create even a single mutable reference when an immutable reference already exists. This rule prevents subtle bugs such as unexpected mutation ("from under you") of data that was passed-in as immutable. When using internal mutability, you throw away that protection, since multiple immutable reference owners can request a mutable reference (even if only one at a time).

use std::rc::Rc;
use std::cell::RefCell;

let entity1 = Rc::new(RefCell::new(42));
let /* immutable */ entity2 = entity1.clone();

*entity1.borrow_mut() += 27;
assert_ne!(*entity2.borrow_mut(), 42);
what is your story for fault tolerance and replication (hopefully cross geo zone). Do you set and run everything yourself? How much effort(including learning curve) and expertise does it require?

Why wouldn't you use some cloud offering where you can get many of these for cheap if your data is not large?

>> Who will make these loans? Lending has dried up for office space

Once the current owners default, the banks own the buildings. They dont have the capital to carry the buildings, so they will fire-sell the buildings. someone will buy the buildings for sure, because if you fire-sell it inexpensively enough there will be buyers. There are numerous buyers, especially sovereign funds who would buy at a sufficient haircut of peak value.

Just like the 2008 resi crisis, there were fire sales at 10% of original value. It isnt clear what the "recovery value" is for Commercial Real Estate, esp office buildings, but it may be so low that lenders are willing to lend. Also, it may be so low that syndicates buy outright.
That sounds like a hilariously bad decision.

Agreed, making it impossible to get any work done makes the likelihood that foreign agents steal anything of value very low.

RAG tools are usually very trivial w.r.t. extracting clean data for embeddings. Demos typically show clean data sources with orthogonal data which lends itself well to good performing embeddings based IR. Real-world data is mixed up, messy, and requires a lot of work to extract, clean, normalize, etc. Typically fine-tuned embedding model would be needed.

We've done work to set Continue up to be a JetBrains plugin—it's a matter of just a) figuring out the basics of putting a webview in a JetBrains plugin and b) implementing this class (https://github.com/continuedev/continue/blob/main/extension/...) that communicates with the server. So long story short, we're planning on this soon and welcome PRs. It's a medium-sized task.
The main problem with crystals and solid-phase life in general is that, being solid, it tends to just sit there and be solid. It's why silicon life is nominally appealing if you just look at the periodic table, but when you look out into the real world and see what the characteristics of the compounds it actually forms look like, you see an awful lot of solids and it isn't really plausible as a basis for life.

It helps to look at how biology actually works; we get these images of things like DNA copying where the next amino acid is just sitting there, all but busting in the door to be copied. It gives a very false image of how biology works. In reality it's an insane world down there with a whole bunch of the cell just jiggling around thermally all the time, and the mechanisms all work by waiting to be bashed into by the right thing. Everything is so fast and the rate of jiggling is such that it all ends up working out. But it's nothing like anything we'd design or even very easily wrap our head around. I've sometimes wondered if we were somehow otherwise the same, but not biological, how long it would take for us to ever invent biology. We are certainly nowhere near it now.

Crystals and solid-phase in general doesn't have an obvious route to chemistry occurring anything like the way it does in biology, and indeed, it doesn't have an obvious route to chemistry occurring at all at any scale.
I wanted to be a fan of TypeScript and get to use it daily on my job, but actual experience made me dislike the language. I think you already know the pain of external libraries (Express in my case) since you mentioned the ecosystem baggage, and the lack of pattern matching is another big minus for me.
You can use an emulator like PCem instead for a period-accurate machine.
Frankly, Google Meet works fairly well.
The Ainu are distinctly not “Japanese” genetically. It’s at least the difference say (pulling this out of my ass, may be better examples) between Germanic and Celtic peoples in Europe. Only they were too evenly matched geopolitically and so one never managed to erase the other. Roma and Hebrews on the other hand… probably more like the Ainu than not.
When I'm coding / debugging with a framework of some kind (nodejs, dotnet, jdk, wordpress, whatever I'm using to deliver value at the time) I sometimes "step into" the framework or a library to see what happens. (Of course, I need open source for the framework/lib for this to work.) It sometimes opens a window to interesting code to read that's relevant to what I'm thinking about at the time. And sometimes doesn't.

Lots of source these days has auto-documentation comments. Good IDEs present that documentation, which helps guess what might be worth diving into the Step Into rabbithole.

Often, from a high-quality framework / library I learn a bunch about handling weird edge cases and about writing code for long-term maintainability. And, I often learn some useful constructs and techniques. (And, it's possible to learn useful things from not-so-high quality code too.)

Any phone with OIS or AF will rattle if you shake it hard enough. It's just the springs of the lens assembly hitting the endstops of travel. Shouldn't damage anything unless you really hit it quite hard (or, repeatedly, as a motorcycle would). I've also noticed you can sometimes get rattling from buttons on a phone too. Could also be that.
mechanistic view of reality that renders the notion of "life" meaningless.

Correct. All notions are tools constructed by and for human minds for their own purposes. It's possible to hypothesize a definition-breaking example for nearly everything that isn't a mathematical abstract. What counts is useful definitions. In the case of "life" we already have many examples of things that don't perfectly fit the definition, like viruses and prions.

SpaceX is such a strategic advantage for the US military. If starship achieves anything close to its orbital payload cost reduction, it effectively means the US owns space and orbit.
Adding bluetooth to a flashlight probably adds at least 2 dollars to the BOM, cpu upgrade and bluetooth module (for reference one of the cheapest might be an espressif chip in the $1.5 range, but they don’t do low energy very well when bluetooth is involved). So it’ll cost roughly $18 more than the next flashlight. So maybe? I’ve worked on BLE mesh, and it’s enough of a pain at the moment that I wouldn’t be willing to implement this on something as cheap as a flashlight, but then again I was just poking around and found flashlights easily selling for over $100. so there may be a market for this.
> There has never been a version of iOS that forced you to accept all permissions before you could download it.

I didn't say that. I said they had access without any sort of permission mechanism. The bundling I was referring to was both the fine-grained access, and permissions that weren't gated.

> The OS wouldn't know what permissions an app needed until the first time you called a function that needed the permission.

The app can advertise to the OS which capabilities it will use and then the OS can deny the app access to anything it hasn't requested or it has but the user has not allowed.

> Tightening down permissions is more along the lines of only allowing an app to have access to certain pictures instead of your entire library.

That is not what that permissions tightening was like: https://www.cultofmac.com/173128/new-ios-6-privacy-settings-...

> The iOS6 beta brings much finer-grained controls to the privacy settings, letting you specify just what services any app will have access to.

There weren't limitations on calendar, contact, reminder and photo gallery access.
I don't see how things like Cursor[0] (a VS Code fork with a nicer Codex UI) have a moat or chance of profitability in the face of things like this. If you can run models locally or your employer can spin up their own instance for internal use on a decent server, why is anybody paying OpenAI? And that leaves Cursor with no cash flow to skim off of.

South Dakota ranks pretty low on the list of US states by forest cover %, but the Black Hills is still a pretty significantly forested area, and South Dakota is a pretty large state—Montana is similar.

Can anyone comment on the intersection of discipline and flow? I've always seen it as, flow is when you're doing something you enjoy, and discipline is when you force yourself to do something whether you enjoy it or not. But I've often found that just putting in enough time (about 45min-1hr for me) will trigger a flow state, or "evaporate" most resistance I had to a task.

So paradoxically I found that it's easier to work for 2 hours than for just 1, since the whole first hour is just getting settled in. This seems to go against the pomodoro stuff (working in 25 minute increments).
Not really because of the number of generations (12 months is ~50 generations of mites and the miticide is every 2 years) between treatments and the effectiveness of the treatments. It's like breeding cockroach resistance to stomping with a foot (the kill is almost completely total and I remove the miticide before concentration drops). It would need to be really incremental and this is not. I go over 6 months without noticing any (which may mean the hive was actually clean before it was reinfected by an external reservoir).

The real breading of deadly mites is leaving your hives thronging with them and bees covered in mites spreading them to every other population of bees/pollinators in your neighborhood. It's like putting SARSCoV2 in an AIDS patient and keeping them alive on a ventilator for months spewing novel viruses with minimal isolation... and that's where we likely got the really virulent strains of COVID.

p.s. I take care of 2-3 hives with about 5mi of separation. So I don't really have many local captive hives nearby, but my queens seem to breed pretty true anyway. I'm not a pro, but I've got 10 years of experience in my local area.
That was my the point, these conversations are linguistically phrased as trying to estabilish if something is alive but are actually structured as a debate on what "alive" means
It doesn't follow that it's reasonable to express alarm.

Decades of stability followed by sudden change is strong evidence against CO2 being the cause, because growth of that in the atmosphere is a very stable process. It suggests a different cause, which means it's natural, most likely related to undersea volcanism. In which case it's unlikely to be dangerous, unless you think this is some sort of freak event like an asteroid strike. But then you're not talking about climate change.
I’ll venture a guess. Mainstream politics (in America at least) has become something of a spectator sport that leads to unproductive, irritating, and dysfunctionally polarizing behavior.
I don’t agree with that design decision. As a new user, you might come across this site and think it only contains the visual gifs (there are many such design sites without code). Since there’s no indication that the source code exists, I won’t have any idea that I should view it further on my computer.

I would propose to make the mobile the full experience, just making the copy code part less of a focus.
