>401k has one other advantage: it is clear where the money is and who controls it.

I'll add another one: the investor can tailor their risk to where they are in life. At some point, it probably makes sense to put even most of my savings in very low risk, low yield bonds.

But that point is probably not when I'm in my twenties.

I actually understand the appeal of a (presumably) low risk "guaranteed" annuity payout at retirement that may have been a long ago benefit you never really thought about. But it probably wasn't really free and probably doesn't represent a better investment than if you were given the actuarial share of the money paid into the pension on your behalf instead.
the smallwebsite is delightful. It reminds me of Stumbleupon, which I miss dearly.

And of course it showed me Questionable Content, which I first got to via stumbleupon.
I recommend reading grandpa Kropotkin.
It's a software tech company. They make the Grindr app. Nothing else.
So we are still fighting over a desktop windowing system and reviving the Xorg vs Wayland battle.

Meanwhile the winners are the users who chose not to play this game with their machines or rant about how a basic app does not run on Wayland and runs on Xorg or vice versa and instead use either a Mac or Windows machine with standard defaults.

If you're app glitches on either windowing system and you continue to rant because you need to tweak the dotfiles, systemd services or dive into config files, then you might as well use WSL2 instead.

At least Windows has a much more pleasant desktop environment.
Anyone played around with this much? Seems interesting, and I'm curious how well it's sped up performance in practical usage.
Well shit, we were just joking the other day on mastodon about the kernel being distributed as a snap. I guess this is it, then.

I'm tired of computers being awful :(
Weird then how they typically praise every Disney movie but have given several WB movies terrible rating.
I can't do it right now, but think of this: we can then create a site that, upon some input, creates a zip file and links to itself, in a possible infinite loop of self generating web sites!
Some guys in Visicalc, Lotus, Netscape, etc. would have some things to say about this...
The world is filled with rigid frameworks and inefficiencies, with developers facing limitations in their work. Despite the potential of state-of-the-art models, harnessing their power is not simple.

In an ideal world, developers would be able to easily utilize the power of advanced models without sacrificing efficiency or safety. There should be no limitations on creativity and innovation.

The challenge lies in creating a framework that is not just another tool, but a revolution. Optimal optimization at the foundational level, prioritizing user experience, and introducing a future-proof design philosophy is a monumental task that nobody has been able to achieve.

The opportunity to bridge this gap is enormous and offers not just recognition but also the power to redefine an entire industry. The key to unlocking this future lies in insight, and the rewards for accomplishing this feat will be significant.

Introducing Zeta: Zeta is our revolutionary solution. The secret lies in our philosophy of fluidity, which values modularity, reliability, usability, and unmatched speed. By committing to evolution, pushing boundaries, and never settling, Zeta will revolutionize the world of AI.

We have been there from the start, experiencing the challenges and frustrations faced by developers. With our deep understanding of the industry, we are poised to lead the revolution. We have done it before, and with Zeta, we are doing it again. Zeta isn’t just the next step, it’s a leap into the future. Zeta is the future of AI.
As a personal user of Mullvad and a professional (solo dev) user of Tailscale, I hope this goes well.
Started using wayland a year ago with sway. A was a bit frightened at first, but in the end everything worked. From firefox, to steam and their games.

The only "drawback" was that when I launched windows (ex: wireshark) at root, it didn't work and I had to previously allow "root" to open windows on my login (with xhost). Thought it was quite neat
> People shouldn’t underestimate their technical capacities or ability to recruit smart hard working people.

People hear about third-world living conditions and deprivation and say "aww, cute" as though it's sticks and rocks they're launching into the sea of Japan. They have money...it's all poured into the military.

I don't understand why the media downplays them so heavily.
Llama2.c LLM: ported to Rust and running in the browser
offloading ethical/moral violations to poorer countries by paying them does not free you of responsibility, no.

It's like how child labor ends up in supply chains - at the very least once you know it's happening you bear responsibility for making sure it no longer does, or if you can't do that, you stop doing business with the wrongdoer
ah that sucks, I really feel like idiom-transplants suck the soul out of whatever the thing is
For LLM applications, the performance loss when power limiting 3090 to 200w is fairly low and you get peak perf/w.
US Code Title 14 §521 gives them power to render aid and directs them to use all available resources to do so.
Pretty much my experience. WSL2 has my Linux itch covered, and I can create multiple VMs easily (for different distro).
So KDE worked fine, they sabotaged it to force you to switch, and now your conclusion is oh, they were right all along?
Flagged to the third page. Interesting.
I have no investment in Linux desktops, but this kind of sounds like "my favorite website stopped working in Firefox, now I'm a Chrome guy." Could this be characterized as it was working before but degraded as development attention shifted to Wayland?
I use bob@smith.com for any service that insists on an email address when they have no business doing so (eg public WiFi portals). I used to use bob@example.com to avoid spamming poor Bob but many services now disallow example.com as a domain.

Sorry Bob!
The Illinois constitution prevents any change to existing pensions, so they're stuck there. The state constitution has to change first.

As I understand it they could do something like not offer pensions to new employees, but that probably wouldn't work out well.
My Journey as a Top Finalist in the ArenaX Hackathon
That was my first thought as well. Pay a phalanx of lawyers to shut down any case against them - only the most well funded effort would get through. The risk to attack is too high.
Interesting. How is it different from PagerDuty offered integration with Slack? We can get notifications from Pagerduty right?
Personally, I love the Stacks Project webpage (https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/); they way it is laid out, the font, the seamless integration of LaTeX in the test (https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/0A2U) has made me rethink mathematical text for the web.
Or probably because it’s the truth and you have a political axe to grind against anyone who points out this very obvious truth.
I more meant that the typical demographics of consumers around classical music probably make it a premium market, sorry, I was using shorthand.

That said - because most classical streaming services are really bad there's still a very active market for CDs in classical music, and because the production costs of making new recordings are VERY high (and there is a still a demand for them) it's a really weird market because you've got older catalogue available for rock bottom prices, and newly made recordings at pretty high prices. Hardcore classical music fans are completionists and so if there's a new recording that fills a gap in their library they are often pretty price insensitive.

When I worked adjacent to classical I was often given box sets of new releases. I noticed that one of those (which I still have - and which originally released at around $120) was recently sold on a second hand marketplace I follow for a ridiculous amount of money (hundreds of dollars) because it was on sale for a weirdly short time so you can only get it second hand.
It may seem that way but I'd argue the hardest part is coming up with the specifications for what the output needs to look like. Even if the best LLMs could write full projects like that, the business side would need to specify far beyond their normal levels what that thing needs to be. Have you ever tried to collect requirements from stakeholders and generate a project plan that meets all of those needs? Even if we're not far from GPT-4 being able to build out a basic component library, that's a long way from being able to architect solutions at a high level.

If I had to pick an analogy it wouldn't yet be farriers going out of business, but instead be more like the advent of the pneumatic nail gun for roofers. Everyone will still need a roof (software) to be built. Every instance is a little different at the design level, but the actual grunt work just got easier and faster if you know what you want out of it.
I tried that and it didn't work on my work ThinkPad (also those steps are dangerous it could brick your system if you so much as make a single mistake).

But that doesn't answer my question of why something as basic as Hibernate (copy RAM contents to HDD on power-OFF, then reverse on power-ON) isn't something that works out of the box on Linux distros, and instead requires 2h of tutorial reading and dangerous low-lvel tinkering for it to (maybe) work or brick your system if you mess it up.
Only since 2006, when Apple Computers paid a non-disclosed sum (reported to be £500m) to Apple Records.

The earlier agreement had Apple Computer agreeing not to go into Music to avoid confusion.

Apple Records, as the label of the Beatles, was hardly an unknown company
I've always associated single-digit numbers to "skill positions," especially speedsters like WRs, RBs, and CBs. If you're in the 50s and above, I'll assume you're one of the "big uglies" duking it out in the trenches.
No idea what you are talking about, I find Windows and Macs absolutely horrible to use. To me it seems that they only make their OSs to sell me more of their stuff...
The post office losing money is especially ludicrous because the post office is not a business— it's a public service. It should be obvious to anyone who thinks about it for two seconds that the post office is financed from the general tax base, same as libraries, highways, parks, defense, airline bailouts, and all the rest of it. All of these are run at a loss because it's worthwhile living in a society that enjoys the benefits they provide.

(And in the particular case of the USPS, it's literally enshrined in the constitution because it was seen as a pillar of democracy to be able to securely communicate with others over long distances.)
Kings are a poor comparison. It’s a shit job and sucks in all kinds of surprising and non-surprising ways.

Are our poor better off than financially independent aristocrats of yesteryear? The kind that can be “an artist” or something their whole life. I guess in some ways it’s better now, more tech. But I’m not sure freedom and respect can be bought/replaced with tech alone.
Open source models are winning.
I know in Unity, they added a VFX Graph several years ago, that allows for these kinds of fine-grain particle effects. You can create a beautiful vortex of glowing points relatively simply.

I'm assuming Unreal Engine has something similar, but I don't much experience with it.
But if you have a web client and app store apps, which are frontends to the same thing, doesn't that mean that your site is still constrained by the app store rules?
Some combination of:

* Javascript devs tend not to be good Typescript devs, and don't always know how to build tasteful or easy-to-type interfaces.

* ...or maybe they're perfectly fine Typescript devs, and they've made the deliberate choice to have a nasty type in order to have a particular interface. For better or for worse Typescript offers that flexibility.

* Types were added after the fact and it was deemed better to have some kind of gross type for the existing difficult-to-type interface than rebuild the interface and/or implementation.
Yes, as already predicted in numerous places we witness forming distinct styles of work with full WFH being in minority so the candidates who want to WFH need to be more competitive. If I wanted I could easily switch my job to an office-based one with a better pay; doing the some for a remote job is much more difficult (but well worth the effort!).
> I think I even find it a little disturbing that fees paid to

Isn't it pretty typical in many (most?) industries that dev cost is not the dominant part? Even pretty "pure" development like a movie or a game can have a bigger marketing budget than entire production cost, let alone salary only. Other industries R&D is often kept to 10-15% of costs (M&A complicates this).
Meanwhile my mom just asked me to switch her Dell to her favorite linux mint flavour and the key enrollment was literally 3 key presses plus the password away.
Race as we know it is a modern invention, approximately four centuries old. It's a toddler compared to caste.
You don't have to teach anything. If someone has a better place to throw their trash than their local dump pile, they'll do it because they don't like that place either. The vast majority of river plastic comes from developing counties with poor trash infrastructure. Plastic pollution is largely a solved problem. There may be plenty of assholes who leave their garbage on the beach in the US, but when they're home, their waste still gets properly disposed of.

Yes, they're there to solve a problem not related to government revenue. Some cities use them as a revenue generator and they're examples of the effects of perverse incentives.
Impressive stack, thanks for Open Sourcing it! When to expect larger/higher quality images dataset?
I have been ranting and raving that surveillance capitalism is the worst thing to happen in the modern world. It's not just personal privacy it ruins, but also community privacy it ruins.

My community is nothing but ring cameras and it drives me nuts because it means I'm always being monitored. I hate it so much.

People just aren't free to be people in private anymore.
>If we looked at each one of the metrics, both for single use plastics and for their alternatives, would we find a similar story of absolute best/worst case scenario to paint single-use plastics as environmentally friendly?

The report has been out for over 5 years. I think that's enough time for people to analyze it and point out specific methodological flaws, and we should not have to rely on "there's one methodological flaw so let's assume the whole report is wrong".

>The original article also notes that plastics industry groups jumped on the pandemic to write to regulators and grocers imploring them to ban re-usable shopping bags due to them being "virus-laden" cesspools. Which is not at all what the science suggests (we figured that one out pretty early in the pandemic as I recall).

1. when did this happen?

2. In 2022-2023 I was still seeing supermarkets with cart disinfection stations, and hand sanitizer dispensers sprinkled in every public space. Clearly plenty of people missed the memo.
> I get a lot of snide remarks

Those remarks tend to stop when you can add some new feature in 5 minutes which would take a 'proper' embedded dev days.

Eg.:

Gee, it would be nice to measure CO2 high in the atmosphere from our hobby rocket, let me just plonk this CO2 monitor in, hook it up to 2 pins, and add 3 lines of code to read from the sensor and write to an SD card file every second.

Thats the kind of thing that, for most other toolchains/IDE's, would require reconfiguring HAL's to get I2C working, configuring the pins to have the right drive strength and pullups, studying datasheets to find out what registers to read/write to get the sensor going, etc...
It feels like you may be solved a problem that didn't need solving? If you fully disabled password authentication, there's nothing to tweak; you can just ignore the log spam and not block the IP addresses and ignore it and it'll be fine.
> edit: I do not buy Android license in a way that I would buy MS Windows when I build my PC, mobile manufacturer does.

You will be surprised.

I buy my Android licence (by buying the phone) just like my Windows licence. And they both spy on me.
Two issue -
US is incapable of building transit infra. We should be able, but the last 50 years have shown otherwise. Making driving harder and praying that somehow makes transit good is not a solution, though many cities are now trying that.

I think a lot of Euros misunderestimate (to quote Dubya) how much more extreme North American city climates are. Using wikipedia data, Amsterdam's lowest mean temperature month is January at 3.8C, and highest mean temperature month is July at 18.1C.
Chicago has 3 months below 3.8C per year, in fact it's below 0C for 3 months. Plus 4 months above 18.1C. Some of our climates just aren't terribly comfortable for biking here. NYC is not much better either.
This [0] was posted recently and (IMO) really captures the reality of ownership.

"A report by Bloomberg Business said CPM stood to earn about 10 times what it paid over the life of the contract."

Umm, is that really that much over a 75 yr contract? $1 invested in the stock market 75 years ago would be worth $172 today and that's adjusted for inflation, which I don't think the 10x figure is. To get to where we end up with 11x after 75 years in nominal dollars we're looking at just north of 3.2% interest.

So basically Chicago got a 75 yr loan at just over 3.2%. Currently 30 yr muni bonds average almost 4%. They'd have been lower back then, and I'm not even aware of 75 yr bonds existing, but what works out to a 3.2% interest rate on a 75 year loan is far from a disaster.

This article was not written by someone who understands finance, so I may be taking too much from that one quote. But if all they're getting over 75 yrs is a 10x return, it's hardly abusive! The investors would have been much better off just buying ETFs.
Of course Arduino will be free, with optional/required registration. You will start by selling cheap labor leads to your professional customers. "Hot Arduino programmers in your area are waiting to meet you".
I was talking utility level storage. My lens is that utility/industrial level solar + storage is where most of the action is. The retail stuff is good for construction and local jobs and the feel good homeowner play.
Well by way of a disclaimer, this isn't my research, and my biology BSc was more than a third of a century ago, so all I was offering was a general comment.

But if Animal A is mimicking Animal B, and B is blind but uses scent/taste and touch, then we can safely deduce that looking right is not important...

And we can safely assume that there is no miraculous intervention. (If someone can't safely assume that, then they're religious and no argument will dissuade them. If it were a deity, which it wasn't, then they could make a more convincing looking fake!)

So, aside from odours, pheromones etc., then we just have to consider what's left. And that is touch, so it seems probable that feeling right is important.
What is the state of the art in leveraging your home network to have a presence (website or otherwise) on the internet?

Fiber just became available in our neighborhood recently and I'm about to have fewer people sharing our network, so the idea of being able to host my own files is becoming attractive again.

We are about to be due for this pendulum (centralized vs distributed) to swing back again and I like to be prepared.
> they sabotaged it to force you to switch, and now your conclusion is oh, they were right all along?

Sure, let's go with that!
>The real world also doesn’t allow you random access, you are limited by the speed of light and have to go from one location to the next.

"Random access" doesn't mean that accessing an item always takes the same time regardless of the size of the collection, it means that, if the size of the collection doesn't change, access times are uniform independently of which particular item is accessed.

For example, one might conceive of a storage device shaped like a sphere the size of the solar system, where an item is read by shining a laser onto the surface of the sphere and measuring how the laser is scattered on its way back. Such a device would be random access, even though it's impossible to grow the collection, and even though a collection with twice the radius and four times the storage size would have four times the latency.

Is there a difference between the products, or is it just the Apache versus commercial license? Ie. will you be able, but not allowed, to view and make changes to the commercial product?

I can think of a couple of reasons why the company might suggest this; the most obvious being that they don't need to guess how many instances your enterprise is using. Whether it makes sense to you and whether the Apache license allows for that kind of legalese is still another matter.

When I moved to California I tried not always buying bags. I have a ton of tote bags and would just leave them in the car but there was always the random stop at a grocery store on the way home or sometimes you just forget them and don't feel like walking back. Being a hardass on your SO about it is no way to be either. So I ended up just buying them and not thinking about it. Every once in a while I'll remember to bring bags but it doesn't always work. It ends up being an extra 30 cents on a shopping trip and most of the workers will give you free bags after you've already paid if stuff won't all fit while you're bagging.

I actually do use the bags. I end up using them for bathroom trash cans and when I'm cleaning.

I have a half acre on a hill and have a compost pile at the bottom of the hill. 15 mature trees producing a good amount of locked up carbon. My food waste in comparison is minimal but I still throw it into the pile and it produces some really nice earthy black compost. But even that is kinda annoying. Walking all the way to pile and back is a bit of a chore and my ex would never do it so it was up to me. I pretty much just have a bucket next to the sink. At the very least when I'm throwing out stuff that has spoiled it makes me feel a tiny bit better that I'm fertilizing my own land.

I'm not really sure what the solution is for people in apartments. It will smell no matter what you do.
Looks more like a disabled Android.
What is sad is that this is, unwittingly, a consolidation of unix desktop onto just 1 monoculture of Linux with Wayland should it become ubiquitous.

Since there is no network transparency, you won't have the ability to interoperate with graphical applications running on non-Linux machines either.

Meanwhile I was able to ssh -X into my FreeBSD desktop with a low end Linux laptop and run the same apps with the same settings etc. by using X11 which runs on both systems.
