What issues are you worried about a 1960s home having?

I can think of a few things that might be issues with some houses that old, but they are all things that your inspector would find.

A home that old is unlikely to have any original appliances, and has a good chance to have been upgraded to 200 amp electrical service. The roof has probably been replaced a couple times. So for all that it isn't really much different than buying a house that is maybe 10 years old.

Some things might be grandfathered in from earlier codes, which can be a little annoying but in most cases probably won't cause problems.

Insulation might not be up to current standards, which could be a problem depending on the climate.

This is good to raise/consider - for example, I'm in Austin now. It's a 45 minute adventure to do almost anything

Columbus on the other hand, I could run to a suburb across the city, do my thing, and be back in less time.

I self-isolate far more in places like Austin than Columbus, largely due to the hassle of getting to/fro

Did you wake up today and just decide to start spouting nonsense? Seriously.
Very disappointing so far. I was excited by some changes and nothing seems to work:

- groceries lists in reminders should create automatic sections, it doesn’t work

- photos should automatically detect pets, it doesn’t work

- hey siri was supposed to become just Siri, it doesn’t work (maybe it’s English only?)

At least sharing AirTags works.

Edit: the custom contact picture doesn’t appear to work either…

MCL was a delight to program in. Ran in 2MB on my PowerBook 170 and gave high-level support for GUI development.

It lives on a Clozure Common Lisp, though there is no version for Apple M processors. Kind of a shame.
Can it be deployed as a web app? Might reduce the friction even further for new players
The issue is the cost of friction loss.

In the past, lets say baby boom years, almost everyone had kids so the family friction coefficient was very similar between different friends.

But these days it's quite different. We typically don't leave our kids at home alone any more (GenX represent!). There is also a much larger group of people without kinds (DINKs and SINKs) that have far more free time than those with kids. So for them the equation changes.

They have the cost of inviting you and the friction you experience. Or the cost of inviting the childless friends they know. Or the cost of the myriad of entertainment options we have these days.
The random dismembered paw in the puppy sandwich makes me sad.

>It’s not journalism anymore,

The "anymore" there means something changed. I don't think there was ever a time in which journalists did not regularly print statements from officials like police and firefighters as fact not worthy of questioning. Sometimes we get into a mindset that everything is getting worse when in reality it is just that we are now more aware of how bad it has always been.
I understood djbs article differently then you.
What else could he have meant with "In other words: The current IPv6 specifications don't allow public IPv6 addresses to send packets to public IPv4 addresses. They also don't allow public IPv4 addresses to send packets to public IPv6 addresses. Public IPv6 addresses can only exchange packets with each other."?

But maybe I should reread the article a bit more generously and less literally, maybe he is actually advocating for the IPv6 we have today?
Because there are transition technologies like NAT64, SIIT, 6to4, 6rd, etc. that sort of allow some of the things he suggested?
"If the IPv6 configuration isn't automatic, it won't happen." sounds like he is actually advocating SLAAC to me?
I think you're talking past the folks upstream because they are talking about "tradeoffs" and you are talking about "not so simple."

The point is simply that if you pick up and move every time you can get a raise, you are going to end up far from family and thus have that problem. But not doing that has become a more viable choice lately, especially once you understand the downsides of being far from fam ~ what we're talking about here.
In both these cases the search engine provider could easily store your identity together with your token while issuing it and recover the identity once the token is used without any way to prove this from the outside. They could even issue tokens in the form AES_ENC("SOME KEY ONLY THEY HAVE", USER_ID | counter) and you would not notice.
You would have to trust them that they won't do this, which is no improvement to the current thing Kagi does (saying they won't collect any data, while admitting they can't prove it, you just have to trust them).
The most full-fledged GUI app I can think of in Godot is Godot's own IDE.

If you can build an IDE in a framework, I generally assume you can build any other GUI app you'd need in it too.
> and the kid ends up skipping the line out of fear getting punished for it.

No, as I said above, every kid got a lunch without exception. The record keeping was unidirectional. The lunch line tallied the quantity of lunches that were handed out to each student and reported this to the district, but the district did not report back anything about paying bills to anyone at the school. Nobody in the lunch room knew anything about the finances of any student. They were tasked only with handing out lunches.

> Parents have to sign up and too many don't give a crap

This is better to make a problem of the district's finance department, not the individual school. They can solve this by mailing bills to parents and/or information about signing up for lunch programs. This is not a problem to solve by holding a child's lunch hostage.

> "Churches, cafes, clubs, public libraries, gyms, bookstores, stoops and parks"

Except for church, going to most of these places is going to be counterproductive for the kind of person the article is about.

These people go out to these places, yet are "invisible." The social norm (at least in America) is to not talk to strangers unless there is a reason. Especially for an older male, approaching strangers is often met with disgust/shock just as the article mentions.
Apparently he's going to join Amazon to lead their Echo and Alexa hardware division: https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/18/23879036/microsoft-panos-...

Makes sense since Microsoft seems to be increasingly weaning off hardware, aside from Xbox. Their hardware refreshes for the Surface lineup have been very slow and counterintuitive (e.g. what happened to the AMD-powered lineup). Uncertain how much influence Panay had but as the hardware chief for Surface, I expected more.
Strictly speaking, none.

Yeah, I'm not saying there is never a need for a long-lived feature branch, there are use cases. I would say it's fairly rare in practice for it to be preferable, at least in my experience.

Careful about Hetzner cloud: the ip ranges are randomly blocked by Google and probably other CDNs.

This is more then annoying since it is not reproducible and leads to unreliable results.
The long-lived feature branch "pros" made me shiver. I hope I never work in an environment like that again
Yes. This changed my life. I use it every day.
`getpwents()` is not defined to only read `/etc/passwd`. There is only a requirement that there is some abstract "user database" or "password database" (depending on if you're reading the linux man pages or the Single Unix Specification man pages).

In practice, `getpwent` on linux uses the nsswitch mechanism to provide return values from `getpwent`. One can probably disable using `/etc/passwd` entirely when using glibc if: all users do use `getpwent`, and you remove `files` from the `passwd` entry in `/etc/nsswitch.conf`.
I think they were referring to the email client itself being HTML, but it was worded a bit confusingly

I wrote up a guide [1] on using Plex + Tailscale + HTTPS last year to setup Plex so you don't have to expose it through the Plex relays or setup port forwards for other devices on a Tailnet.

I would assume with this announcement, you can keep Plex private to your Tailnet and an AppleTV also on the Tailnet could use it without any port fowarding.

If you're considering switching, you can definitely spend less by embracing OpenTelemetry. The right solution will depend on how much technical lifting you want to do/how much control you need. SigNoz does metrics, logs, and distributed traces; and has both a self-hosted open source OpenTelemetry backend and dashboard, and a new cloud offering.

There's also Honeycomb if you're more focused on tracing, and Prometheus/Grafana if metrics are what you care about most.

Apple has all the necessary pieces in place - it has simply failed to take a hardline stance with apps that still want your full contact list. All apps (outside of ethical developers) want to get all your contacts since that data is valuable... Apple is the party here that is responsible for limiting their access to that data - and Apple customers are the part that is responsible for putting pressure on Apple to take that hardline stance... unfortunately the last party (outside of the technically apt as represented here) aren't particularly motivated to advocate for better privacy rules. Abstractly, sure - everyone wants better privacy, but the average user wouldn't be willing to go to any real effort to get it.

I've been struggling with figuring out a good dataset for fine-tuning. Most of the ones that exist were purpose made for finetuning/training a model already.

Does anyone have any tips for creating sufficient datasets for finetuning specific workloads?
Your argument seems to mostly rest on the idea that people can "poison" a fundamental idea by misinterpreting it and drawing silly conclusions from it. It sounds like if I argued that "1 + 1 = 2 and therefore we should do genocide", you'd be (rightly) abhorred by the conclusion, and the next time you saw someone using 1 + 1 = 2 as the basis for a completely different argument, you'd villainize them as using an argument that "promotes genocide" or "has been used to justify genocide". I really don't care what the founder of phrenology thought, nor Christian dualists, nor even Jeff Hawkins.

In general I think this effect contributes to a lot of "over-debunking". We see way over-simplified, yet very loosely accurate, mid 20th century scientific models like the triune brain, "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny", the left-brain vs. right-brain, and the idea that differences in language contribute to differences in cognition; and then silly people take these models way too far and use them to justify dubious things; and then they become over-debunked to the point that speaking them aloud immediately ostracizes you as some outdated bigot; while the whole time the models themselves have been reasonably OK high-level starting points for discussion that obviously need revision for any lower-level details.

> The truth is, neglected sub-regions such as the "lizard" cerebellum actually contain the vast majority of neurons, have been shown to have evolved disproportionately larger within early hominins [2], and are theorized to be equally involved in abstract cognition as in bodily manipulation.

The relative number of neurons is not evidence for or against the model, nor the fact that they were larger in early hominins. Showing their involvement in abstract cognition is more interesting, but that's only evidence against the triune brain if you make the exact same mistake that you're criticizing, which is assuming that "abstract cognition" is some high-level uniquely human (or primate) trait. If that exact "abstract cognition" also exists in reptiles and birds (and it appears to), then the fact that the cerebellum contributes to that cognition is not evidence against Triune Brain.
Sure, if there’s only one long lived large feature branch and everything else is trunk-based style development.

If another large feature branch is merged then your regular rebase turns into a horror-merge.

That's because the quality is even worse. Chili's (and Applebees) make almost zero profit on their food, it's just a loss leader to get people in the door and keep them drinking. The entire business model is real estate + cheap booze. The food just allows them to operate as a restaraunt instead of a bar, which is much easier to license in most places.

I think you are not super familiar with how AI works. It's worth reading up on.

For example - The Tesla self driving AI takes many hundreds (thousands?) of computers to build the model. Then it runs in realtime of 1 "GPU" that lives in my car. It's not sending frames in realtime to a supercomputer to process.

So for a spaceship - same thing. You don't need to send the thing that makes the model. You just send a finished model and a GPU to run it.

I couldn't agree more.

Progressive discourse has turned so ideological that perfectly normal mainstream conversations make people anxious.

People shiver to even discuss the idea/benefits of a heterosexual marriage. As if its some rogue legacy structure. As if single parent situations are some higher moral good to strive for.

A portion of men, especially the lower classes, are facing severe issues. But this can hardly be addressed as the very idea of men in need of social justice does not fit the "all men are oppressors" narrative.

These politics achieve worse outcomes, not better ones, and they alienate vast groups of people.

Personal beliefs, and these doesn't apply to all males (live in choice!):

- guys bond when they do things together: build, play, mock fight

- remote work makes it hard to find that building community at the office

- having kids wipes out your leisure time for at least a few years

- and thus you're left with no community of guy peers IRL

- guys need less talk therapy than women, and the institutional solutions that support women won't work as well for the males, on average

- more paternal leave sounds like a recipe for more solitude and dysfunction

- guys probably don't function as well as stay-at-home parents, on average, as women (yes, these are rank generalizations which contradict many modern assumptions). all other things being equal, which of course they never are, the kids will probably get better care if mom stays home during the early years while dad works

"Big Oil’s Talent Crisis: High Salaries Are No Longer Enough

Energy companies scramble to attract engineers as young workers fret over climate and job security

Good news from the oil patch: Jobs are plentiful and salaries are soaring.

The bad news is that young people still aren’t interested.

Even as oil-and-gas companies post record profits, the industry is facing a worsening talent drought.

At U.S. colleges, the pool of new entrants for petroleum-engineering programs has shrunk to its smallest size since before the fracking boom began more than a decade ago. European universities, which have historically provided many of the engineers for companies with operations across the Middle East and Asia, are seeing similar trends.
