It could also be argued that outgrowing your initial business app is good thing.

Lots of business don't outgrow it, because they don't grow :)

Indeed, it might be reasonable not to invest too much upfront, before you have scale and can afford to build stuff you won't outgrow.
1. Buy a Brother laser printer

2. Put it on your Wi-Fi

This is basically like when people say dishwashers don’t do a good job because they’ve only bought ones designed by American MBAs. HP and Epson made good products in the previous century but are now customer-milking operations and it’s better to pretend they don’t exist.
I believe the logic goes something like this:

- The author is defending analogous behavior

- Therefore the author is ok with this behavior

- Therefore the behavior is ok to use on the author

It's not actually ok, but nobody actually did it either. They just made a snarky comment on the internet to make a point, which has a much lower bar than actually doing the thing.

.NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) is for cross platform development but certainly targets native apps on Windows:

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/maui
The answer is: pick your poison. There is no best way. Microsoft would have you believe it is WinUI, but there is also WinForms, WPF, UDP, Xamarin Forms, .NET MAUI, Avalonia, Uno, and several other solutions.

Even the landing page for WinUI starts off by comparing the differences between two versions of it.

> Seeing output from GPT that demonstrates intelligence, reasoning, or whatever, and saying it is not real reasoning/Intelligence etc, is like looking at a plane soar and saying that the plane is fake flying.

Something that really annoys me about ChatGPT is when it gives that canned lecture "as a a large language model, I don't have beliefs or opinions"

I think human mental states have two aspects (1) the externally observable (2) the internal. ChatGPT obviously has (1), in that sometimes it acts like it has (1), and acting like you have (1) is all it takes to have (1). Whether it also has (2) is really a philosophical question, which depends on your philosophy of mind. A panpsychist would say ChatGPT obviously has (2), because everything does. An eliminativist would say ChatGPT obviously doesn't have (2), because nothing does. Between those two extremes, various different positions in the philosophy of mind entail different criteria for determining whether (2) exists or not, and ChatGPT may or may not meet those criteria, depending on exactly what they are

But, outside of philosophical contexts, we aren't really talking about (2), only (1). And ChatGPT really does have (1) – sometimes. So, ChatGPT is just being stupid and inconsistent when it denies it has opinions/beliefs/intentions/etc. But, it isn't ChatGPT's fault, OpenAI trained it to utter that nonsense.

Learning a UI is especially bad that way. You double click, select a menu, etc., and nothing at all happens.

4&5 is too slow by half, probably more.

As the number of potential culprits goes up the odds that you will identify the correct one first are very small. Most of what makes these processes slow is getting emotionally invested in solving the problem in as few 'moves' as possible. Occasionally that will work for you but it's not a safe long-term strategy.

What you want to do instead is to formulate several hypotheses, and then figure out the relative likelihood and difficulty in testing each one. Determine if partial tests of one hypothesis also satisfy or invalidates parts of others, and then begin the process of winnowing down possibilities in a calm and collected process of elimination, balancing cost of validating an assumption versus how much of the problem space it eliminates.

Once you find the bug you still have to fix it, and getting worked up makes for cures that are as bad as the disease.

Bitcoin difficulty is not measured in bits but its own unit (some hashrate was defined as difficulty 1, and difficulty 10 means the hash rate is 10x that). The number you see on that website is also in trillions, so the current difficulty is about 50 trillion. Also, you get more than one Bitcoin per hash (currently 6.25, halving every few years).

To mine six BTC, you currently need almost 80 bits of zeroes, so 28 bits is basically trivial.
Firefox containers aren't meant to be a substitute for profiles, they're a middle layer of security between profiles and private windows. This is exactly what GP was talking about with "layers" of isolation.

Firefox also supports profiles; they have the same isolation as Chrome profiles with the added benefit that they can be stored anywhere on your harddrive, meaning that you can even encrypt a Firefox profile on an external drive and have your history/settings only loaded when that drive is mounted and unencrypted. I will agree that the UI could be a bit better (switching between profiles is cumbersome), but it's a somewhat minor complaint in the same vein as my complaint that containers require an extension to be user-accessible.

Firefox containers are for when you do want to share history/settings, particularly privacy extensions and browser settings, but you want to isolate data between tabs in a way that goes beyond total cookie protection (funnily enough also a feature that Chrome doesn't support) -- containers allow you to isolate cookies between multiple "instances" of the same site, set rules for when site information should be cleared, and they allow extensions to hook into that API in a way that cookie containers don't (to the best of my knowledge) support.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't like having the option to isolate more data with containers (extension settings would be welcome), but that's not really an issue with containers as much as it's just that I'd like Firefox to go even further with offering more granularity. It's annoying to make a profile and need to synchronize settings and extensions from my previous profiles.

> Chrome's extensions in general still have superior security (e.g., activate on click or only for certain websites), so sometimes different profiles aren't even needed.

I also want to throw out a quick objection here: Firefox supports Manifest V3 (extended to include adblocking power-features that Chrome has been removing) including website-specific permissions, optional permissions, and click-to-activate. It does not (as of now) require using Manifest V3, but I think their recent announcement about mobile extensions does require V3, so the writing is on the wall.

The lack of requirements is an issue, but if you're trying to build a sandboxed/secure extension, I'm not aware of any extension security APIs or settings that Chrome has that Firefox doesn't support. Site-specific activation I think works the exact same way. Short-lived background scripts are in there. I'd be curious to hear if there's anything missing. And of course Firefox allows users to disable auto-updating extensions as well.

The VG204 has 4x RJ11.

The VG224 has a telco RJ21 interface (that houses all 24 lines) that you can break out to a punch-down block, or dedicated RJ21-to-RJ11 boxes/panels/cables. In my case I have a breakout box with 24 phone jacks.

A VG248 is the same thing, just with two RJ21 interfaces for 1-24 and 25-48.

My understanding is that the 3D imaging is somewhat inherent to how the protocol operates: higher frequency data over a wider band of frequencies means they can locate you more precisely.

Cell phone network operators need to know your location in order to route traffic to the correct tower in order to reach you, and that is not changing anytime soon. Same principle for WiFi beamforming.
We (humanity) have multiple satellites looking at the sun 24/7 and warning of flares in advance [1]. There's even a running forecast of geomagnetic events [2]. We very much do "look up" and have been for decades.

> Someday someone may find themselves stabbed and killed by an LLM piloted robot because of something they said or did. Something that would predictably get someone killed by a system with "real" intent. So what, Are you going to be raised from the dead because the LLM "wasn't really upset" or "didn't really have intent" ?

In some ways that's exactly the point. The problem with ascribing intent is it's a copout. If you say it behaves as if it has intent because it does have intent, you are letting off the hook the people behind the scenes who designed and built an "intent simulator" and let it loose. We have to distinguish this because it's the only way to accurately characterise the reality of the where the decision making power resides in controlling this behaviour.

Yes and no.

Linux from scratch will show you what goes into making "a" distro. And how that distro is constructed. That may or may not be the distro that you yourself would use, as an every-day driver.

But everybody should do the exercise once at least. And that is as far as probably 99.99% of us go with 'Linux From Scratch'. Some very rare few of us use 'Linux from Scratch' as a base for their own personal distro. But those rare people would either have lots of spare time or a huge inclination to go that route.

Then after you have done the exercise, play with several * (many??) distros until you find that distro that suits your personal needs. Who cares which distro that you eventually settle on is. The point is that it suits you and it suits you at that particular time.

A month or two ago, I discovered that I have been using LinuxMint MATE for over 10 years. I never made a conscious decision to do so, it just happened that way. My second preference distro is 'Debian', which is LinuxMint's grandfather anyway.

===

* It can get messy to play with lots of distros. One way is to play with Live disks. A better way, that I have found, is to have three root-partitions on your boot disk. One of those root-partitions is for your default-boot daily driver. The second root-partition is your 'emergency boot' distro, which would probably be the same distro and version as your daily driver. Boot into that emergency root-partition when something catastrophic happens to your daily driver.

The third root-partition is for installing and 'playing' or experimenting with other distros without damaging or interfering with your two main and emergency systems.

Fair points. College is more expensive, and has been growing faster than inflation for decades, no question about it. Looks like avg. cost of attendance for a 4 year degree at a state school is 80-90k. I don’t know how many people get financial assistance, or how many experienced loan forgiveness. I do think the U.S. could afford to pay for college outright based on the fact that degree holders earn more, and thus pay more taxes. The lifetime taxes for this group exceeds the cost of college.

Hubbard founded it on a bet and then it took on a mind of its own with his death, becoming a tax haven and a cult - one of the most dangerous, prolific, and virulent cults there is.

Stop and consider for a moment that someone who is nose-deep in such an organization is aggressively expanding into literacy and education platforms for young children - the age where religious and cult indoctrination is most successful. Recruitment plunges when the age of exposure is after critical thinking skills are developed.

Obviously he would not directly attempt recruitment, but I guarantee there's more than just "he wants to be a good dude" going on. As another commentor noted, he tried to get scientology shit into Neopets.
Reposts do add value though. Think of it this way: there’s a pool of content you haven’t seen before and a subset of it which you’d enjoy seeing. If no one reposts anything ever, you won’t be able to see any of it.

In fact, some of the things you have seen before you would probably not mind seeing again. Maybe you didn’t think to save it at the time or maybe your circumstances have changed.

Anyways, I wouldn’t confuse low effort with low value.

Well, it's certainly not irrelevant. Scientology principles were used to manage the company and employees were partially evaluated on their friendliness to it [0]. It wasn't ever a major part of the content because of internal resistance by people like the other founders [1].

Managements' religious preferences can have a meaningful influence on how an organization operates, e.g. Hobby Lobby. I don't see why it'd be out of bounds here when it's legitimately relevant to how Neopets was run.

That 'carbon impact' is negligible - if even worth thinking about - compared to the environmental impact (which, remember, is totally unrelated to 'carbon impact') of creating that hardware in the first place. If you have something lying around which can be used and it does not come with an onerous power bill, jet-engine fans, vacuum tubes in a fridge-sized cabinet (although that would certainly have some charm) or unobtainable parts by all means use it instead of a new SBC. I use a number of old mobile devices in this way where I would otherwise have employed SBCs. They come with their own UPS, a complete sensor set, cameras, microphones, several wireless interfacing possibilities and some of them even have a screen. Power consumption is minimal and they tend to work fine on whatever USB charger you connect them to where some SBCs are quite picky when it comes to their power supplies. Mobile devices are lacking when it comes to interfaces, they tend to have a single USB connector which doubles as a power input and as such is already occupied so if you need those GPIO pins or USB3 connectors get yourself an SBC without fretting over any 'carbon impact'.
I'm happy if you want to talk net margins as long as we're comparing Apples to apples (digital to digital), so to speak.

I did check that out. The thing is, the criteria is a little different. This is for learners who need to practice reading English. The scripts surface a lot of material in Gutenberg that otherwise would be time-consuming to find. 1950's science fiction that still reads well, or story books for children. Someone could certainly call these books 'mediocre', but I think that's a bit adjacent to what we're trying to do here. If this idea is worth the effort relative to other sources of material.. still undecided.
