YouTube search doesn’t even respect the “exclude word(s)” operator “-“ anymore. Freaking useless.

Imagine trying to find videos on the Cyberpunk genre and getting nothing but videos on that buggy video game that came out a few years ago.
Youtube2Webpage: Create Websites with Text from Videos
It is mostly a matter of priorities.

For most applications it simply does not make any sense to spend this much time on relatively small optimizations. If you can choose to either buy 32GiB of RAM for your server for less than $50 or spend probably over 40 hours of developer time at at least $20 / hour, it is quite obvious which one makes more sense from a business perspective. Not to mention that the website was offline for an entire week - that alone would've killed most businesses!

A lot of tech people really like doing such deep dives and would happily spend years micro-optimizing even the most trivial code, but endless "yak shaving" isn't going to pay any bills. When the code runs on a trivial number of machines, it probably just isn't worth it. Not to mention that such optimizations often end up in code which is more difficult to maintain.

In my opinion, a lot of "software bloat" we see these days for apps running on user machines comes from a mismatch between the developer machine and the user machine. The developer is often equipped with a high-end workstation as they simply need those resources to do their job, but they end up using the same machine to do basic testing. On the other hand, the user is running it on a five-year-old machine which was at best mid-range when they bought it.

You can't really sell "we can save 150MB of memory" to your manager, but you can sell "saving 150MB of memory will make our app's performance go from terrible to borderline for 10% of users".
I think that was a feature Oracle was pimping in the late nineties already. These days most databases can store blobs and if they can't you can just store things in base64 encoded form in a clob.

So, this is nothing new. Nice of course if you need it but probably a bad idea to use at scale as there are cheaper ways to do that that don't involve hammering your database with requests. It's not particularly hard to make that perform well of course but why bother? I suppose transactional behavior could be nice for mutations. But beyond that, I don't see a good reason to do that.
Thanks for replying, and the clarification.
A few days ago I explored adding beam search and other features to the Gzip Language Model: https://github.com/thomasahle/ziplm/

Turns out you can get a lot better text out of these simple models of you add some basic LLM features.

Something about know your enemy? Just because I disagree with them doesn’t mean I haven’t listened to the arguments. But I haven’t done it through my YouTube account for explicitly avoiding the pollution of my recommendations only to no avail.
This may feel correct, but it's easy to prove that this is not the primary reason search sucks because searching the commercial internet also sucks. By your logic, finding tech companies relevant to your search should be easy since they by and large still put their general info websites on their own domain. Nope. You still get mostly SEO junk.

If you're still not convinced just look at Youtube search. There's no excuse for that to be terrible, yet it is.
The NCTA letter refers exclusively to pass-through fees imposed by governments. None of those fees are like if a bar decides to charge a renovation fee after doing a remodel.
So, to be clear, I spent my time reverse engineering software rather than the hardware itself. That said, my observation is that a lot of hardware reverse engineering is software reverse engineering since the software helps you understand how the hardware works (the Asahi guys literally built a hypervisor so they could watch macOS interact with hardware).

And software reverse engineering is just grunt work. I'd start with a very well known existing hardware platform with a very simple CPU design--the GBA is actually a really nice platform as the ARM has a very sane ISA and it's all memory mapped I/O--and get a devkit and start experimenting by writing software to run in an emulator so you can get a feel for how the hardware works.

Great to see a D based effort.

Nushell is definitely interesting, and I'm glad it exists, but I'm not using it because of at least a couple of major reasons:

- It reimplements all commands. You're not actually using GNU coreutils, but Nushell reimplementations of ls, rm, etc. See [1].

I understand why it's done, but this has many drawbacks:

1. All existing shell examples and documentation spanning decades are useless. Nushell commands try to replicate existing UIs, but they invariably must be incompatible to support all features and deprecate unnecessary ones, so the only valid source of documentation is Nushell itself.

2. Nushell-specific bugs[2,3]. This goes without saying, and will improve as the project matures, but experiencing bugs with core commands is jarring. I've never had that with GNU tools.

3. Unsupported commands won't have any of the benefits, and you'd still have to parse their output in the traditional way, or use a Nushell helper. How often this happens will depend on your use case, but you'll always depend on Nushell for integrating that command in your workflow.

- Related to point 3, Nushell is building an entirely separate monolithic ecosystem, which goes against the open ideology of Unix. This is similar to BusyBox, where you always have to be aware you're not using GNU tools, but some slightly incompatible equivalents.

More importantly, this approach doesn't scale. There will always be new commands that target POSIX shells, but not many commands will be written specifically for Nushell.

I appreciate what projects like Nushell and Murex are trying to address, but having a saner scripting language and passing structured data in pipelines is not worth the drawbacks for me.

For one, Bash scripting is not so bad if you set some sane defaults and use ShellCheck. Sure, it has its quirks, but all languages do. Even so, the same golden rule applies: use a "real" programming language if your problem exceeds a certain level of complexity. This is relative and will depend on your discomfort threshold, but using the right tool for the job is always a good practice. No matter how good the shell language is, I would hesitate to write and maintain a complex project in it.

And for general QoL improvements with interactive use, Zsh is a fine shell, while still being POSIX compatible.

pov is from the reciever not the shipper.

Parcel Lockers could help save a round trip. I would gladly sign off on leaving a signature required package in the locker in my building as opposed to having them redeliver it.

Save time since all the delivery places is in one place as opposed to multiple floors.

Ide gladly pay a buck or 2 to have my more sensitive packages (ammo/gun parts, electronics, iphones etc) be guaranteed to be delivered to a locker in my building.

And lastly, do you really want to leave blood for amazon to smell? Better cannabalize yourself before someone else does :)
Sorry to hear that, but thanks anyway.
It is kind of annoying that Irdeto, the makers of the oft-maligned Denuvo DRM, have made one that specifically targets Switch emulators, even though emulators are legal.
This is like one of those ideas that's too brilliant to be disclosed here - or to anyone, actually. Bravo.
Always found it hard to learn new tech. I think years ago companies would be happier to give you more time to learn it on the job and that was the difference.

Getting older means holding less things in my head when debugging but thats about it.
Something something “everything is tested in production eventually”.

(I agree fully with you, I’m just being a bit glib.)
I immediately thought of your project. Thanks for explaining the difference!
Just have a single "name field" and maybe preferred name, which is not the same. The family/given name format doesn't make much sense here.

Indian name: Sathiavelllu Arunachalam, known as SA or Seth

SE Asian ethnic Chinese names: Harry Lee Kuan Yew, (English name) (Surname) (Given name). Hated the name Harry and got it removed, though many Chinese are referred to by an English name.

Indonesian name: Fatimah Azzahra (given name only)

Malaysian name: Sharifah Azizah binti Syed Ahmad Tarmizi, (honorific surname: Sharifah) (given name: Azizah) (patronym) (father's honorific surname: Syed) (father's given name: Ahmad Tarmizi)
In practice, there is near zero correlation between first names and caste.

Of course Ukraine should defend itself and not just roll over.

Now please don't reply with a comment saying "Ukraine didn't start the war". I know, and that's not what I said.
Because it was libre, or because it was (is) gratis?

I know that I downloaded and learned Terraform because it was free of charge only. I honestly didn't care and I didn't know about its specific licensing status. I was able to quickly and easily install, configure, and run it because Hashicorp made it available as a free-of-charge download. Period, full stop.

Compare it to VirtualBox, which is clearly not F/OSS, but gratis to download and use. In fact my employer mandates our use of VBox, so we all download it, irrespective of license terms. It's extremely popular, even outstripping qemu and other libre VMM implementations.
Who chooses to go in the "not quiet" coach? And is the quiet one actually quiet? Here in France, trains are nominally "call-free" zones, you have to use your phone on the platforms. In practice, nobody does that, and it's not particularly enforced.
I wish they would open-source the back-end code, so we could self-host.
You don't want just a job. You probably want an elite and interesting job, which for a dev to be paying out a large percentage of their salary is probably in San Francisco or Seattle or New York.

You could take a boring remote job with more average pay out in Kansas if family were a priority and pay off a house in a year or two.
I wonder if wasm would be another good target for this sort of thing in the future.
Economist is undisguisedly neoliberal, which also means it’s anti protectionist. The us centrist democrats haven’t been neoliberal since Obama. They’ve become nationalist and in favor of industrial policy.
I was especially interested in the passport requirements. It would be a nice addition to my website (see my comment above), instead of linking to BAMF's slightly confusing page. A simple dropdown with crude geolocation guessing would be wonderful.

Your website is a really good idea. I always refer to Wikipedia to know the entry requirements for Canadians, because embassy websites do a terrible job of sharing the most basic information.

I always wanted to build a technical travel atlas that would give basic information like power socket type, average weather, driving requirements etc. It would be a lot better than relying on a bunch of wordy travel blogs. If the APIs are there, it would be very doable.
Cant speak for the author, but I would pick D for anything where C++ is appropriate, but I want to have less hassle (and dont need any dependencies).

The ancient Library of Alexandria was lost to fire in the 3rd century BC.

The the even-more-ancient Library of Ashurbanipal from the 7th century BC was not lost and was in fact found with over 30,000 texts. The irony being that it was preserved because it was burned, and most of the writings were clay tablets, thus were preserved even better in the fire.
Right. We probably will actually get something substantial out of investment in AI even if it falls far short of the lofty promises.
"This sort of thing" is actually really simple to get started with. You just read a few docs about the object-code format and instruction-set of the device you want to emulate, and then start writing a simple interpreter loop that reads and executes instructions from any arbitrary existing program ROM. Compare and contrast the results of running it on your emulator with running the same thing on real hardware (or on some other emulator.)

As soon as you get one well-known program working and displaying something on the screen — congratulations, you've made "an emulator"! Now all that's left is "just" debugging the inevitable compatibility issues that your emulator will encounter with every other program ever compiled for the target architecture. It's like Test Driven Development, but your test suite is "the complete game library of the console"!

(And then, once you've got 100-ish percent compatibility, maybe you can spare some time to optimize performance!)

If you've never done this before, it can be great fun! I'd recommend starting with a Z80 (Gameboy) emulator — it's an extremely well-documented architecture, fairly simple (no weird concepts like clipping masks or MMU mapper chips), fast to get to the "rewarding" point where you've got something displaying on-screen, and so low-powered that on modern hardware it'll run at full speed even with the most naive implementation.
Consciousness is a great mystery. Its definition isn't
Routinely articles like these are written.

I find them superfluous and a symptom of the human tendency to never sit down and reflect about stuff.

Grifts prey on the ignorant, duping them through an informational gap.

As such, grifts flourish in new and uncertain environments. Environments where expert opinion is still forming and is badly communicated, and scammers can sound knowledgeable to the average person without actually knowing anything.

Now that experts have pushed against crypto and the whole field has become clearer in what can be done with it and what can't, it's obvious that grifters are moving to the new uncharted hotness: "AI". Writing articles like this, always talking about the specific events and never the global trend, does not help the wheel of grifting stop spinning.

Lots of outraged comments but few will close their GitHub account and stop using VSCode.
I feel both things are not really ready for primetime, but i agree AI is way more useful.
You mean well so I gave you an upvote :-). I'm a Westerner living in Asia. The name my British parents gave me is James Hush. Every family member calls me Jamie. My legal Chinese name is 許杰, if you tried to write that the "Western" way the closest thing you could do is write xǔ jié, but even then there's multiple Chinese characters that represent "xǔ" and "jié" so it would make no sense.

Names are hard hahahaha.
Thanks. It might be helpful to make that explicit for ignorant people like me :)
I'm on board with using temporary solutions for small projects, but I feel like BLOB isn't all that convenient either unless you have some particular reason you only want Postgres as a dependency. I can either set up something like S3 where I upload via some simple API and get URLs to send back to clients that will never break, or I can build my own mini version of that with BLOBs. The BLOB way is a little more manual if anything. Also sometimes gets annoying with certain DB drivers.

Similar story with caches. Sometimes I've used Postgres as a cache, but writing the little logic for that is already more hassle than just plopping in memcached or Redis and using a basic client.

And it leads to absolutely ridiculous and predictable outcomes.

Tesla’s backend for fleet management at least used to be an absolute shit show that barely worked on the best day.

Apart from that, remember when (I think it was?) Troy Hunt published an article on how trivial it was to control some in-car features with nothing but a VIN and Internet connection?

There are certainly ways to do these things correctly. But until those measures are required by law and are -actually- implemented both consistently and sanely, it’ll be an intermittent bad time. The auto industry can barely get hardware security right, let alone electronic and digital security.

> You may make production use of the Licensed Work, provided such use does not include offering the Licensed Work to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis which is competitive with HashiCorp's products.

> A “competitive offering” is a product that is sold to third parties, including through paid support arrangements, that significantly overlaps the capabilities of a HashiCorp commercial product.

We all get what they're trying to do. The bad thing is that this isn't only overly broad, but a moving target. I looked at HashiCorp's product page, and they're building up a wide portfolio of IaaS tools. Those are such fundamental tools that even if you're not a cloud provider at all, you're likely to have an overlap in "capabilities" at some point. IMO, IANAL and all that, that's a significant business risk for anyone using Terraform, for any purpose.

The case for Nushell is weak because shells are not an ideal environment, but rather a lowest common denominator by today's standards that has stuck and hasn't disappeared. What we need is a better interactive environment interface. It baffles me that something like Pharo's interactive environment hasn't been copied all over the place. I understand it's largely because it's a self contained environment that it is able to afford the functionality it has, but there are lessons in there worth learning from.

It doesn't have the same satisfaction of just writing down the numbers and operations on them, but "python3 -c 'import decimal; decimal.getcontext().prec=130; print(decimal.Decimal(2).sqrt())'" will give you any desired precision (130 here) and I imagine roughly the same gamut of mathematics operations as Javascript.

Your argument is also misleading.

HIPAA is a baseline rule set. Providers are free to set more restrictive rules than what HIPAA defines. They often do so they have buffer room better their rules and HIPAA violations.

Further, HIPAA is not the only rule governing you and your providers interactions. A private institution is free to set its own rules (with its legal obligations) and can have you leave if you don’t follow them.

- "inspire someone to"

I get the impression your own choice of phrase shows you believe this isn't direct incitement.

(What more is left to say? Incitement is a thing where substantial culpability falls on the speaker telling the hearer to do something. If it's the hearer's own idea, their inspiration, to break laws, the speaker is not culpable for that).
That's a bit oranges and apples though. If I lie on my resume I can be lawfully fired. If I try to pass myself as upper class nobody can do anything.
Don't forget, they blocked basically the only good exit out of town because that road had "downed power lines".
So instead of sending one fire unit to lead the road out and move one power line (I assume most would not be hot if they are AFTER the first broken line, although I guess you don't know which one that is).. they just let people stay back where a major fire was. We wouldn't want you driving over a down power line!

Looks like hundreds are dead over basically government ineptitude.
