If a local director could make a movie with comparable quality to Hollywood movies - I would watch his movie. Hollywood only dominates, because their movies have way higher production quality.

There is only so much you can do with shoestring budgets that our directors have.
I try to think about whether two concepts are innately similar or incidentally similar. Computing compounding interest for a home equity loan and a mortgage might be innately similar. A desired change to one will probably make a desired change to the other. Computing growth of a fruit fly population and computing compounding interesting for a loan might be incidentally similar. Until you change your "computeExponentialGrowth" function to now handle occasional decimations from environmental sources, and anyone looking at the code wonders what the heck that looks like for a loan.
When an iPhone reaches high temperature it turns off navigation automatically. Actually newer iPhones automatically go into a low power “failsafe” mode even when not in active use. If that happens you’re only allowed to make emergency phone calls, all apps are forced off.

Source: Apples documentation and my own surprise when it did.

I don’t know much about games but assume iPhones can and will limit the core frequency before the self generated heat will be an issue. What they cannot control is the environment.
Does most of the microplastic we ingest come from household plastics or from the environment?
https://github.com/mkj/sunset/tree/main/embassy/demos/picow is a wifi-ssh to serial impl for a rp2040. I've got it plugged into my home server's serial port. It's using cyw43 for wifi also from Embassy - dirbaio is prolific! There's some WIP in Embassy for bluetooth.

That repo has a few crates depending on each other - sunset is the toplevel ssh, sunset-embassy adds no_std async, then the async dir has std rust, with a commandline ssh client in the examples dir.
i’m not saying the effect is zero; im saying the effect is clearly too small; there are obviously degrees to this. halving of overall hormone levels are surely not explained by a measly three generations of improved health care removing the selective pressure in favor of the survival of high-hormone humans
You can add wax-coated cardstock (milk containers) and wax-coated bags (breakfast cereals) and just plain cardboard (quick oats).
My assumption is that, above a certain number of floors, the floor selector in the hall is better because it has more advance information for any planning. The downside being that it's unfamiliar to anyone who doesn't use the system regularly.
Fulfilling? I seldom do work that I don’t enjoy at least some aspects of, and I still work a bit even though I am in my 70s.

That said, we work to support the lifestyle we want, or I would argue that truly life aligned people just work enough for what they really need.
yes OK .. so now we rediscover "Hollywood"
You can already do that with GGUF/GGML models which allow you to split between CPU and GPU. Obviously there is a performance hit when running on your DDR5 and CPU compared to HBM/GDDR and GPU but it’s better than nothing.
Not surprised.

A few years ago a team of researchers tried to use a feature attribute flag in BGP. Their experiment caused an important BGP software to crash.

The BGP community reacted by thanking the researchers for uncovering that flaw and worked on improving stability. No, just kidding. They shouted at the researchers and asked them to stop, which they eventually did.

I felt back then that this community had a very unhealthy relationship with the quality of their software and the work of security researchers.

I'd rather have a pure web app than a janky desktop app made with Electron or some other tech that eats my RAM.
No you didn't, you said that if a layman cannot understand it immediately, then we should never use the information in the context of law, i.e. we should just ignore the information, i.e. remain ignorant
With all due respect to that company, it also doesn't look like it can stand up to removing very thick snow or operating on a large surface area. My house (and a lot of others who would pay for this) regularly gets more than 12 inches of snow in one event every winter, so the robot would have to operate in the middle of a snowstorm to keep the driveway and sidewalk clear on the day that matters.

Snow removal is also lot more physically strenuous than most other yard tasks, meaning much bigger motors and batteries, almost approaching car-sized.
Strictly fwiw - There is a subset of people, myself included, who have old fashioned preference for native apps. In particular, a few likely obsolete perspectives :

1. I can have more ownership of the native app. I can make a copy on my NAS and install as needed

2. I can have more control over what it does. I can deny the firewall and whatever it does it'll do only locally.

3. Native app feels more "once and done". Web app feels more SaaSy. And many of us are getting allergic to everything under the sun wanting five bucks a months for 2 min of use.

For such people as myself, native installer isn't a point of friction, it's an inherent advantage.

Of course there are counterarguments! Native app can have a activation requirement or internet requirement and can do horrible things directly on my file system. Just offering a glimpse of alternate perspectives fwiw :-)
For legal methods you're also likely limited to 1080p streaming at best though sadly
In that situation, the correct thing to do is, when the two pieces drift away from each other, to recognize that they are no longer the same abstraction and to break the connection. That may be painful - you have to look at everywhere that abstraction is used and figure out which thing it really is, and change the code to reflect it.

But if that's going to happen, then in the early days, a little duplication was probably better.
Not sure what me saying that in the other thread has to do with me posting here with a "layman" hot take?

Was it[0] available at any price 2 years ago?

(Assuming you mean literally an order of magnitude: 0.64¢ is, judging by Amazon.com, less than the bulk price of a single sheet of unused printer paper, or two thirds of a paperclip).

[0] 3 or anything equivalent to it, given 4 obviously wasn't
I think crowdsourcing data's more of an open source thing. I don't think Google's ever been into that? Their approach is more "we're gonna scan all the books in the library/photograph every street in the world". (Interested to hear counterexamples).

An important topic that doesn't get enough attention. We need to start switching to crops that require less water (goodbye almonds, pistachios and alfalfa!). Meat consumption plays a big role too since pasture requires more water than many crops.
i constantly see articles about China or Russia abusing social media.

However there are like no articles about western firms that offer these services commercially to Oil companies, billionairs and sometimes to China and Russia too.
Because the united states valued individualism for a very long time, before and during the cold war, and even now. It's a cultural aspect.

Blame people like Reagan and Milton Friedman for this. It's a highly political problem.

Inequality is already somewhat caused by individualism, but climate change is also caused by climate change. For example, if China wants to reduce its co2 emissions, you only have to convince Chinese leaders, and it's done just by snapping fingers.

In the US, you have to make it profitable, which is doable, but it's more complicated and lobbyists will also be a big barrier to change.

I loathe the chinese leadership, but being a democratic modern industrialized nation doesn't mean you will see decisions that make sense.
Yep. We got a 10x improvement on throughput for our backend runtime, which was in Java, by moving to a better architecture for performance hotspots.. using Java again.

In a rewrite with a different design/architecture, that new design typically accounts for most gains, rather than language.

A language may make some parts of that rewrite simpler.
Another reason for the sorting at least here is that the companies using plastic packaging are the ones responsible for and paying the disposal system. I think the theory is that this will cause them to reduce plastics use and develop improved re-use.
I... don't believe you.

I'm building a product as an experienced engineer with 17 years in the field, and the only place LLMs would be useful without slowing me down is writing copy, whereas I would pay for a copywriter, which I will probably do.

LLM making you 10 times faster to build a product (of which coding is like 20%) needs better sources and proof, as it's a ludicrous number, and a whale with billions has access to much better tools than ChatGPT (i.e actual paid humans).

If by building product you mean "create a basic landing page in HTML", sure. But a landing page is not a company, nor a product you can sell.
Perhaps, but I have a plan to take that burying and make it hurt.

Alternative explanation (call me crazy) :-)

A US comedian once commented that when he went to Europe 20 years ago, he noticed that people only ate three meals a day.

What a concept!
> If you are not willing to try it, that's fair. Say that. Claiming you know stuff about the ecosystem while a guy who is there every day comes across as... strange. Biased. And not arguing in good faith. :(

I am not willing to drag others, such as those that wrote the repos, into a technical discussion with people out to act as you are.
Looks like a young prodigy to me
Or it was quick and cheap to build, by design. It's perfectly acceptable to optimize for time to market first if you can eat the other costs.
What do you think is a fair price for a solo dev trialling a small app?

I'm asking because my firm makes a competitor to ToDesktop (sort of) [1], and this is a question we often get. It's free for open source apps and cheaper than ToDesktop, but the "I just want to trial an idea and not spend any money on it" use case isn't well supported by this pricing model.

One possibility is a trial period, but then how long should it be? Alternatively some mechanism that limits the number of installs, and which therefore has a lower price point attached.

However it seems a bit pointless because signing certificates cost on the order of hundreds of dollars a year anyway, and then file hosting also adds cost. So if you aren't willing to commit on the order of that much up front, then it may be a lost cause. To drive costs lower you need to take signing out of the equation entirely, which means someone else signs and sandboxes the resulting code.

I fully agree and very much like vs code at the same time.
“Proven health effects” is a really high bar. Universal, long term, planetary contamination with a synthetic organic polymer seems like exactly the kind of situation that would warrant an abundance of caution rather than requiring conclusive proof of harm.

That said, perhaps the many studies I have seen showing that multiple plastics have hormone like effects on biological systems en vitro, especially when presented in fine particulate form were just wrong. Honestly could be.

But I’ve seen an awful lot of them supporting the biological activity of plastics and plastic decomposites, and only a couple suggesting failures of replication.

I’ll have to take a look into it again. Have you seen papers that strongly support biological neutrality in fine plastic particulates and decomposites?

I played the N64 game so much as a kid I can probably name almost all of the characters in Goldeneye.
no big deal for the US, a foreign company had to swallow a loss in order to give US President a domestic talking point. TSMC fabs currently experiencing very similar problems - differences in work ethic, workplace culture, low salaries for staff hired, and inflated targets for that hiring in order to make the politicians look good.

This article from Verge in 2020 was a great dive into the problems Foxconn had, and what TSMC will now also face

Overall management.

Every couple of years there is this great new change that will bring the masses, while at the same time the latest biggest one isn't fully finalised with all corner cases sorted out.

Then when C++, C#, Java or other languages catch up, there is the sentiment that D did it first.

Well, it might have (or not when looking into CS research), but it hardly matters, as the former ones have better tooling, editors and established ecosystems.
A third approach (not endorsing it, merely adding it here for the sake of completeness) is to have a software architecture role which defines how the components interact. Each time is free to do whatever they want within their component, but they have to meet their interface spec. When the components are put together, there'll be small problems/bugs for sure, but if they've followed the architecture (and the architecture team/person has been making sure of that) then they should basically fit together.
I'll be honest: I make a concentrated effort to avoid these apps that are just a website stuffed into a (usually quite gigantic) executable for a number of reasons:

- They always feel sluggish. Animations are jittery. Text input that does things (contextual search for example) jitters and jumps instead of smoothly performing it's task.

- Scrolling, especially scrolling that loads content, is also often jittery and laggy, if it doesn't just stop working abruptly and require a reload.

- I can't help but feel it's incredibly unnecessary for these apps to be as MASSIVE as they are. Usually several hundred megabytes at a go. I know storage is cheap these days but I own several games on steam that aren't that pudgy on the disk.

I just don't like them. Every time I download a new app and I realize it's electron or node or react or whatever the new shiny framework is everyone likes, I will remove it unless I absolutely 100% need it to perform a task. And I will likely be groaning and complaining the entire time as I listen to my PC clock up it's fans to deal with running 150MB of bloody javascript to show it's UI.

I know this is largely a me problem, I'm aware of that. But I just don't like them. And especially given that a whole lot of these apps aren't built by scrappy underdog devs but massive firms that could extremely easily afford native developers... I dunno. It rubs me the wrong way.

Like I don't know how else to say this: If you want to make software, make software. If you want to make websites, make websites. Stop trying to make software out of website tools.
I think you mean PFAS, not microplastics
Fwiw, my family and friends are also not on matrix. Setting up an iMessage bridge (with a spare apple device) and a sms bridge has enabled me to use matrix with them.

>> Native installers

>So, more friction? Just visiting the webpage was too simple?

I've been asked several times by the sales team to add an installer to our web app. They think this adds a feeling of ownership to the user.
For a loan, maybe it looks like payments on the principal?

But your overall point is very correct. Don't make an abstraction because of coincidence.

Highly efficient teams arrive at ~scrum naturally, without having to label it.

You start with a highly efficient team, and scrum follows. Not the other way around.

If you've got a team of individuals that do not naturally want to meet every once in a while to discuss progress and potential efficiency wins, you've got an incompatible team and should rebuild, not force them to have those meetings.
Blech, no. That would make the maintenance burden of dealing with those crates even worse than it already is. And just imagine having issues spread out all across different repos. Oh my goodness. It would be absolute madness.

I have split out some crates that obviously stand-alone. The `termcolor` crate was born inside of ripgrep but now it's in its own repository. The `ignore` is another candidate for splitting out because it has broad utility, but it needs a lot of work before it's something that can standalone as its own project IMO. But most of the rest of the crates, i.e., grep-{matcher,searcher,printer,regex,pcre2} are essentially what ripgrep is. Those will never get split out. If I did, the ripgrep repo wouldn't actually contain the most interesting parts of ripgrep! Not good.

With all that said, I am a monorepo guy. Not for ideological reasons. For practical reasons. I also maintain dozens of crates, most of which are in their own repositories. The only reason I do a different repository for each because that's what the custom is and it makes collaborating with others easier. If the code was just for me, it would all be in one big mono-repo. No question. It would be A LOT less work.
A good canteen can combine more ingredients in a more sophisticated way than I have time for at home. I'm not making Beef Bourguignon at home, but it's easy for them to make up a big batch. Economies of scale!
What's weird though is that a lot of US tech companies also have canteens and on-site restaurants

A few questions I have, after reading your comment, if you don't mind:

- Did you dry yourself immediately after getting out of the shower?

- What was the temperature like in the house?

- Did you have anything else already affecting you negatively (like stress or sleep deprivation)?
Throw in a mandatory return to an open office plan and you've got a deal.

> Reefs can't be fishing-protected areas because of the presence of fish. The presence of fish is how we pick fishing-intensive areas.

Not. Complex problems don't have simple answers.

We don't define fisheries by the presence of fish. We define fisheries by the presence of fish that --can be-- fished. This means normally age, not number. And age can't be measured easily in many species so we use size instead. Distance to the coast, population status and life cycle are also hugely influential.
I think it may be that at this stage in the internet's history, we've seen the life cycle of software/platforms play out and it even if you were lucky enough to be part of a wildly popular and successful one that did cool things everyone loves, its only a matter of time before the suits come in and monetize every good piece of it, put in dark patterns, addictive scrolls, forced subscriptions, fees, openly hostile TOS, etc etc. In the early days there was optimism about making people's lives better with great software, but we now know what its only a phase before its turned to crap.

We can make nice things, but we can't keep them that way.
Farmers Evicted for Carbon Credits in Uganda (2019)
I'm pretty sure he is going to either say either immigrants or something related to Chad vs Incel.

What a load of snide hogwash. First of all, how are LLMs snake oil? There is actual usefulness to be had.

And I can run inference on my laptop, transferring capabilities to smaller models is a thing, quantization is a thing, optimization is a thing. And, DL has been feasible for barely a decade, LLMs for a few years.

Are you talking about crypto by any chance?
By the way, does anyone happen to know how to overcome the sidebar width limit in the current Firefox versions? I want the tab titles to be less truncated but Firefox won't let me expand the sidebar more than 432 px in width.

An alternative (maybe even better) idea which came into my mind is make item title display multi-line (word-wrap). Is there a Grasshopper configuration option for this? I already enabled URL display so it already is two-line effectively but I feel like probably making both parts (the title and the URL) two-line each.

LLMs are the pattern. This is a separate axis to "is it true?"
So I'm sitting here on a linux (KDE) desktop machine with the following apps open:

1. Slack
2. Discord
3. Signal
4. Mullvad VPN
5. Kate
6. 1Password
7. Emacs
8. Chrome
9. Spotify
10. Konsole

How many of these wouldn't exist on Linux if they had to be written with native SDKs? Konsole and Kate use QT and are clearly the best UX, but it's not like emacs (gtk) integrates natively in KDE any better than Slack does. Zoom is clearly the worst experience of all of them, and I think that's actually a QT app?
