> ZFS caters to a lot more people than you.

And under the OP's proposal, those people would continue to ZFS entirely unaffected. The OP wasn't proposing changing the behaviour of ZFS, but rather "wrapping" this defined set into a well-defined recipe which could be used by people who aren't so opinionated.

This "dumbed down wrapper" wouldn't even need to be called ZFS, to avoid confusion. Personally I'd like to propose the name ZzzFS: which is ZFS made so simple you can do it in your sleep...
I wake up at 6AM like this person. I go to sleep around 10PM. Honestly, the best approach is to wake up at whatever time every single day even on weekends and then get to bed when you are tired after 7PM. If you keep doing this you will naturally find your appropriate bed time after about 2 weeks. Most people just botch this because they sleep in on weekends and destroy their body's attempt to set a cycle.
The good news is that this already exists in the Redis search module [1], which allows you to do similarity search against indexed embeddings, among other features, and offers comparable performance against other ANN libraries [2], depending on your performance criteria.

I've been using it for a side project to do semantic search on books[3] and have been really happy with its performance. (Not affiliated with any of this, was mostly interested in exploring existing well-performing, fairly standard tools with low latency)

I completely agree with all of this in every way having written a hell of a lot of front end code over the last 25 years. Apart from the WASM bit.

As a somewhat extremist on this front, I'd rather "the web" was still Gopher that shifted nice PDFs generated in LaTeX and 80 column formatted text files. And email was plain text only. And leave the rest to native apps on whatever platform you happen to like.

WASM is basically Flash but less shit.
Just returned from Athens, Greece. There was an ice cream place called "Sugar Killer" that claimed to be "Sweet N Sugarless"

I was curious and asked what sweetener they were using, expecting something like Erythritol.

Turns out "sugarless" means Agave Syrup.

CygnusEd was first released in 1987. I don't think it's fair to compare with a modern editor that was released 30+ years later.

I have not used either [1], but their choice was based on what was available at the time.

Edit: [1] Actually I did use CygnusEd for simple text editing, but I was not into programming at the time. I don't have a basis to compare it to modern editors, other than the knowledge that choices needs to be seen in the proper context.
In the runup to WWII, reactionary portions of Japan's military attempted coups multiple times, with some successful assassinations. The origins of this trend date back to the unequal treaties Japan was forced to sign by Western powers at the start of its re-opening and industrialization: the nationalist right gradually developed more of a voice as time went on and developed an ideological basis for military expansion and deification of the emperor, which succeeded in directing Japan into the war, even though the coups themselves failed.

Economics is a science, but a social one.

That means that, as much as they try to stuff it with math, economics remains fundamentally an application of loose sociologic principles, which are themselves extremely debatable.

The genius is that that bit of casual math instantly insulate economists from their peers (i.e. historians, sociologists, etc), no matter how bogus such math might be.
Either some new physics is found enabling faster-than-light travel, which would break a good chunk of our current understanding of physics. So... doubtful (imho).

Or the only thing achievable is travel at some fraction of the speed of light. Say, a few %. At which point the nearest stars are a few-centuries away (one way trip), making interstellar travel feasible at least in theory.

But say, 99% or 99.99% of lightspeed? That's what's done with a few particles in huge projects like the LHC. So ehm.. no. Not unless (see above).
Super cool. I played with it for 10 minutes now.

It really wants a portrait-aspect-ratio artwork though. The first file I tried was more like "Cinemascope" and the UI was a little tight.

Maybe I need to play more, but I feel like part of the Risograph charm is that the inks you use may not match exactly how the original was separated. I would like to select inks for separation but then a different palette for composition (and a handy preview of what that might look like).

Drill down to state levels, or further to local areas, and those numbers change tremendously. In many parts of the country gun ownership is almost universal.

And you might not even know; not everyone tells everyone that they own a gun.
I mostly care if projects don't accept bugfixes. For example "inotify feature longer works with the latest glibc release due to subtle API change" might be an easy 10 line pull request to fix.

But if the maintainer doesn't take the pull request and make a release, then the effort of fixing it is wasted, and every single user has to workaround/suffer from that bug into the future.

There are loads of projects in that state - unmerged PR's from years ago with sensible fixes, no new release, and no forks that are distributed to users.
> “there is literally no way for us to comply with this legislation, so our only legal option is to leave your market.”

as much as I love my encrypted chats, both those sentences are not true.

Devil's advocate would say:

1: Tech companies can obviously share the keys with the government, like they do in a group chat, it would simply mean "GVT has joined the chat" [1] and it could also work the same way wiretaps have always worked, under a very strict legal framework and behind a colossal amount of bureaucracy to authorize their use.

2: tech companies are not leaving those markets, they are simply buying time, they don't want to do the work, because it's work they will not profit from, but there's nothing preventing them on the technical side from doing it.

> Whatever else you think on these topics, government-enforced utility monopolies aren't the free market.

They tried non-monopoly power and wireline phone markets in their early history and they didn't work.

A lot of times a company would go bankrupt, but their wires would be on the poles and would degrade to the point of falling apart and dangling, which would then make contact with a live wire and folks would get electrocuted when they touched it.

CygnusEd was the absolute business back in the day. I still love it, but my muscle memory just isn't there anymore after years of PC/Mac editors! I guess I've also become too spoiled by modern conveniences. LiteXL runs on pretty much anything and writing extensions is also pretty easy. But maybe I should get back into the habit of using CygnusEd some more...

At the moment of writing the cost estimate for 70B multimodal model with 7T tokens on 1000 H100 GPUs is $18,461,354 with 184 days of training time.

Personally I would not be surprised if it is possible to train the same dataset for half the cost 12 months from now.

[EBM analysis]

"Adapt or die: how the pandemic made the shift from EBM to EBM+ more urgent"

https://ebm.bmj.com/content/27/5/253

"Evidence-based medicine (EBM’s) traditional methods, especially randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses, along with risk-of-bias tools and checklists, have contributed significantly to the science of COVID-19. But these methods and tools were designed primarily to answer simple, focused questions in a stable context where yesterday’s research can be mapped more or less unproblematically onto today’s clinical and policy questions. They have significant limitations when extended to complex questions about a novel pathogen causing chaos across multiple sectors in a fast-changing global context. Non-pharmaceutical interventions which combine material artefacts, human behaviour, organisational directives, occupational health and safety, and the built environment are a case in point: EBM’s experimental, intervention-focused, checklist-driven, effect-size-oriented and deductive approach has sometimes confused rather than informed debate. While RCTs are important, exclusion of other study designs and evidence sources has been particularly problematic in a context where rapid decision making is needed in order to save lives and protect health. It is time to bring in a wider range of evidence and a more pluralist approach to defining what counts as ‘high-quality’ evidence. We introduce some conceptual tools and quality frameworks from various fields involving what is known as mechanistic research, including complexity science, engineering and the social sciences. We propose that the tools and frameworks of mechanistic evidence, sometimes known as ‘EBM+’ when combined with traditional EBM, might be used to develop and evaluate the interdisciplinary evidence base needed to take us out of this protracted pandemic. Further articles in this series will apply pluralistic methods to specific research questions."

You completely miss my point. You are the arrogant want saying "don't worry, we can solve it, we know". I am the one with humility saying "guys, I have seen how engineering works, it's always harder than we think". Tell me: how do you make plastic with solar energy? Because last time I checked, plastic was made of oil. There are tons of engineering problems (from the fact that nobody has ever produced that much solar energy to the fact that you can't control solar energy - what do you do when there is no sun? Happens at least every night...).

Plus, if your only reference is the price of solar power today, then you are highly uninformed on the subject at hand. Of course solar power is cheap: in many places it is subsidized, and it is built with cheap, abundant fossil fuels. But make no mistake: solar today is absolutely marginal. So you are extrapolating from the current marginal energy production of solar to 100% of the world, with the only argument that "last you checked, solar today is very cheap" and "those who believe they know slightly more than me are arrogant, I won't listen to them".

> while not having any desire to learn.

Let me take you on that. I will share with you my favorite introduction book on the subject (it is cheap, from a really respected french engineer, and it took me 5h to read).

WASM itself is likely to be successful in some niches, the industry has a know-how for bytecode VM's and integration with LLVM will make it stick for a long while. My bet are computation kernels for web, and porting whole native apps to web browsers via emscripten.

WASI is probably doomed to fail, so far it was proven to be challenging to make "write once run everywhere" API, for example it's difficult to abstract over epoll vs IOCP vs io_uring without reinventing libuv, but making a standard out of libuv API will make adopting any platform changes too slow, because of losing control over the implementation of the API. Having a single standard implementation where the industry is collaborating might be a better way, similar to how .NET is an abstraction over platform API.
