1. Become aware that I'm awake.

2. If I remember any dreams, bask in the memories.

3. Languish awhile (on good days this is just a few minutes) before throwing off the covers.

4. Starting the water heating for my spouse's coffee, and drinking a few sips of the warming water to start my own rehydration.

5. Brushing my teeth.

6. Cold shower, with almost no dilly-dally now that I'm almost three years into the habit. It feels so good AFTER :) and has helped me eschew caffeine (for GERD & anxiety reasons, and maybe my skin & guts have trouble with coffee?).

7. If my child is still asleep and I'm up early enough and my spouse is at home, I go for a half-hour walk-perchance-to-jog. Sometimes I'm itching to move faster, other times the deliberate walking (practicing good posture), breathing, and open awareness is where it's at.

8. Back home and if my kid's awake we snuggle for a few minutes followed by a half-hour or so of preparation for the day (including medically-necessary things; easier now that she's growing up), otherwise if my spouse is awake I'll join her in bed or I'll make her coffee and start cutting up vegetables and greens for my breakfast.

What's your morning routine so far?
"One group is instructed to submit 100 photos over the quarter and the other group is instructed to submit one perfect photo.

The group that is instructed to submit 100 photos gets better because they start right away and start taking photos and learn about composition. While the other group doesn't get better because they hem and haw over what a perfect photo is."

If true, I would want a refund if placed in the latter group.
Not nowadays. Most people never deal with cheques and never accept payment by credit card.
This brings back horrible memories of working with large complex maps back in the 2000s. Having various CAD and GIS applications generate messy, inefficient spaghetti-coded PDF outputs - then bouncing those PDFs around the Adobe apps of the time, to add effects and other prettifications not available in the mapping apps.

It would reach the point where things would start to break, and .... "good times were had, by all".
They did say 'nearly universally.' I don't think what you said contradicts that?
Any useful interpretation of renewable energy has to do with purely human timeframes as thermodynamics doesn't allow for any energy source to be endlessly renewable. "If I use this source today will more of it naturally be there tomorrow" type consideration, otherwise you end up with a definition which either includes things like fossil fuels as renewable because you can wait millions of years or excludes things like sunlight because it won't be there in 10 billion years.
I mean that's part of the conversation that needs to be had. I would argue libraries are an unadulterated good, but it is generally considered at best unethical and at worst illegal to re-use content that isn't your own, at least without a proper citation.

Then there's also the issue with things like art, music, and code. Where does the line fall with scraping Github, Soundcloud, DeviantArt, or Instagram and using things like that without permission? Most of the code on Github is open source, but there's a lot of difference between the GPL and BSD licenses.
That's an important advantage: go Arm, and ultimately you'll be dealing with Arm (the IP licensing company), or with a 3rd party which deals with them.

Go x86, and you'll end up dealing with Intel, or AMD (okay, there's Via & maybe a few makers of legacy x86 parts).

Go RISC-V, and roll your own or pick from a growing list of vendors, are both valid options. And switch supplier while keeping your toolchain ecosystem.

I'd expect at least that this will spur innovation in the field. Likely increase consumer choice.

More suppliers of [insert product type here] is almost always a good thing.
Indeed, we use ours for our house cleaners. It doesn't really say anything about whether it's an Airbnb or not.
RISC-V will not do X and then Y. RISC-V is going in all directions at the same time. People are pushing to the smallest micro controlers, to data centers and to niche applications like space all at the same time.

The lights I'm referring to aren't navigation lights. They're arrays, usually on arms that stick out from the side of the vessel, for attracting squid. They completely overwhelm the navigation lights in the photos I linked to.

Since the author of the post is an airline pilot and an experienced photographer, I have to image he'd seen ships' navigation lights from the water before and these were significantly brighter.

You can also see in the blog post photos that the shape of the lights is in keeping with being arrays, rather than a few point sources on each ship. They're rectangular or square, and remember that the photos were shot from about 34,000 feet (about 10km). I'd expect navigation lights to be a pinpoint at that distance.

Anyway, I was able to answer my own question: red lights are used by fishing fleets for attracting saury, as discussed in this article about a separate "surreal collection of red lights observed from an aircraft" incident:

https://observers.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20220805-debu...

The author of the blog post even used the term "saury" in their explanation, but I didn't realize at the time that that was a type of fish.
PDF is such a weird format. Not so long ago I had to write some Java code for manipulating PDFs: find a string, remove it and place an image at the former string position. I should have known better as I thought "Well, how hard can that be?”

What followed was a deep dive down the rabbit hole, a lot of fiddling with the same tools the author of this gist is using trying to make sense of it all.

The final solution worked better than I thought while at the same time felt incredibly wrong.

I'm very thankful for all the (probably painful) work that went into those open source PDF tools.
Fun fact: they reduced the size of the code by removing any path not taken while playing. That’s why you can’t move up in menus (or something like that), they didn’t press that key while tuning.

Governments restrict how much insurance companies can increase premiums each year. If they want to increase prices beyond some percent, they need to make a special request, which -- at least in California -- is being denied.

> I thought, the way insurance worked was, I take a little money from a lot of people, and when some rare event happens, I pay out that one person whose house burned down.

Correct. The problem is that instead of one house burning down, a significant percentage of the insured houses are burning down. And the insurance companies are claiming that when that happens, that wipes out all the premiums that have been collected (including from customers whose houses did not burn down) and then some, so it's not financially possible for them to insure all these houses in high-risk areas without eventually having to file for bankruptcy. So they want to raise prices, but the government won't let them.
I hope that more people try Emacs after having had exposure to vscode. It may be slow to get to know the new environment, and reading the manual only takes one so far, but Everything becomes nicer after the training phase. Text-based remote editing has been mature in this platform for decades, and it keeps working well with the addition of all the language servers and tree sitters and so on. It is now snappy again in all architectures, it has built-in support for sql and still uses the powerful lisp for all its extensions.
The point is that the config gets more and more complex, requiring more and more features, until you get a rather ugly turing-complete programming language. And the further point is that with Lisp, you don't need any of that. Code is data. Data is code.

Turns out the East Asian style of hyper-competitive child rearing has its downsides, namely the high costs dissuade parents from having children altogether.

China faces every antinatal problem the west does, except far worse.

1. Extremely high housing prices making family formation expensive

2. Small apartments suppress large family formation (Seen in Europe)

3. General collapse of marriage rates due to changing incentives and thus moral norms

4. Higher education decreasing fertile years.

5. Economic depression, especially for young people, euro debt crisis level of youth unemployment.

You add to that, that China still officially has a 3-child policy (not that many people even have 2), because the birth control bureaucrats still need a job.

China is probably 2nd lowest in the world behind South Korea, and will stay there, if not

Austin is a great town to be in and make connections. I've been here since 2011 and love it (except maybe the heat during some summers).

I can guarantee you that you'll be able to start some conversations based on a cool house like this! Personally, LAN parties were something I always wanted to hold more of but just didn't have many friends playing on PC while I was growing up. It's cool you've made it into such a central component of your home!
Your comment is sarcastic, but the reason home owners love the bubble is because they can borrow money against their house instead of working for a living. So if you were lucky in real estate you can slack off at an easy job while making your minimum mortgage payments and live a comfortable life on borrowed money, maybe get a new car and a nice vacation?

Or if you're ambitious you borrow money against the house to renovate it and build it larger. Slack off at an easy job and you have energy to do renovations in the evening.

Every 10 dollars borrowed to do renovations becomes at least 20 dollars in increased home value when the renovations are finished, and as a bonus you get to live in the newly renovated house. You don't need to sell, instead take out another loan against your now more valuable house - the bank is eager to help. It's called a "real estate career".

Compare that to working for a living as your "career": Every 10 dollars of productivity you put in for your boss turns to 7 dollars in wages and after taxes you have 4 dollars. Not to mention the taxes and tributes as a small business owner or independent.

Which is the smart move? Which is the fool's move?

If you talk to everyday people, what is their dream? What would they like to achieve? Will they say they want to invent something? Create a huge business? Become best in the world or at least in their region in some sport or hobby? Very few will answer this. Most will answer: "I want to own a bunch of condos and live on the rent". That is the dream.
> You're going to sit on a distressed asset for 20 years hoping it recovers? Do you realize how financially debilitating that is?

I’m saying they have the financial ability to do so if necessary. Approximately no one actually believes that the housing market is going to undergo a >20 year downturn because of AirBnB.

The trillion dollar question is what will actually make people believe the market is going to turn over for the long term. Because that’s literally the only way the markets are going to return to normalcy. And it’s not going to be because of some hotel app.

There's a lot of stuff in this release.

Don't miss the new llm-cluster plugin, which can both calculate clusters from embeddings and use another LLM call to generate a name for each cluster: https://github.com/simonw/llm-cluster

Example usage:

Fetch all issues, embed them and store the embeddings and content in SQLite:

paginate-json 'https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/llm/issues?state=all&filter=all' \
| jq '[.[] | {id: .id, title: .title}]' \
| llm embed-multi llm-issues - \
--database issues.db \
--model sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 \
--store

Group those in 10 clusters and generate a summary for each one using a call to GPT-4:

llm cluster llm-issues --database issues.db 10 --summary --model gpt-4

>Author's 2nd assumption is that as tidal energy is tapped, this is extra energy that subtracts from Earth's rotation.

Not so. The calculation of the 1031 years is equation 19 and assumes the decrease in rotational energy all goes to human purposes.

The flaw in the OP is the assumption that human consumption keeps rising at .02 per year for 1031 years: we would probably boil the oceans away because of the waste heat from using that much electrical power.

> but it is generally considered at best unethical and at worst illegal to re-use content that isn't your own, at least without a proper citation.

No it's not at all, except in extremely limited circumstances.

When George Lucas made Star Wars, did he cite all the Westerns and space opera serials and movies that influenced him? When you give a presentation at work on why you should move to a sharded database, do you cite the history of academic work on sharded databases? When you use Times New Roman in a document, do you cite the British newspaper The Times, or Robert Granjon's prior serif designs from the 1500's?

Of course not.

Legally, you can do whatever you want with ideas and styles and whatnot, which is what AI is about. Legally, you only run into problems when you reproduce sections of copyrighted works verbatim, without a license, in a manner that's not considered fair use. Your answer to "where does the line fall" is quite clear legally -- it's the line demarcated by fair use, which has nothing to do with licenses. AI doesn't change that.

But then you're moving towards less of an app with configuration, and more of a "Here's a new programming language and frameworks to write your own app!" Situation.

If possible I'd rather examine why people need so many config options, and design from the start so that things don't need to be manually configured as much.

If a turning complete config really is the way to go, I'd rather just use JS or Python, not something metaprogramming focused that just invites and almost requires building more layers on top to do real programming.
I assumed this was talking about the goto statement in Svelte which is navigation method. If not that's fine
how you can compare this to a lathe is beyond me
> I imagine it would be much more straightforward to port pretty much any indie games to consoles like Xbox original onwards, PS3 onwards, Wii onwards, maybe Windows 7 average desktop and notebooks (lots of indies already use older direct x and are compatible with windows 7 ,

Not a game developer, but given the lack of ports between current gen gaming systems I would assume that it is not straightforward. Sure, a game engine will magically pump out your game for different backends but even supporting Vulkan and Metal results in much gnawing and mashing of teeth (and a lack of games on Apple hardware).

Then there is the developer ergonomics. I know that I hate having to write code to maintain compatibility for even 5 year old standards. Each GPU and game engine is also a unique clusterfuck of incompatibility and subtle bugs that crash the shit out of games. If you want to support that old hardware, you will need to test on the actual hardware. Why bother with all that when there is no money in it and your team just wants to move on from a project that already took 5 years of their lives to develop?

Forward compatibility is something I strongly agree with but backwards compatibility is a logistical nightmare.
I've actually never heard of that. Trying to Google and I see some stories but not a lot of pictures. What is it like?

I think most mature businesses owners would want a mercenary as opposed to a fanatic. If you're doing it for the money, you'll work as part of the team to execute the leader's vision. If somehow you feel you were made to do this, presumably you also come with a bunch of baggage about how you think the product should be, etc etc which maybe is helpful as a co-founder but could be a hassle as a junior dev.

Personally I've had great luck with mercenaries.
The verifiability is the biggest one. One could conceivably develop a voting system that had perfect accountability, secrecy, and integrity, but would be far far more difficult to work out by hand. A zero knowledge roll up is not something your average poll worker could work out on scratch paper. Paper ballots counted by hand can and can achieve all the things we desire in election systems.

> So if a school buys 100 thinkpads, and 100 chromebooks, how long do you think they will last?

As things currently stand, both will suffer hardware failures at alarming rates because children are terrifying and have very active lifestyles, but the thinkpads will only stop being useful when the hardware dies, while the Chromebooks will be artificially capped by their software, resulting in the thinkpads outliving them.

> I fail to see how pointing the finger at chromebooks specifically is more than a distraction.

Because Chromebooks force the machine to become e-waste regardless of how worn the hardware is. Everything may suck, but they suck more and on purpose.
