I've tried to make this argument in the past and gained no traction. What I did instead was to create self hosted chat things as a fallback for the times when Discord or Slack have a green status page but their applications fail to operate. Even light-weight daemons like uMurmur [1] or devzat [2] ssh-chat can be handy in a time of need if a quorum know to fall back to it, especially how simple they are to deploy. Self hosted tools are also handy when one wants to share links or text that should not be on 3rd party sites forever and for eternity. Such things may also be handy if some day the internet censorium gets a little bit out of hand.

Per capita sqft of office space is much lower than everyone having their own room (even a small 9x9 one). In other words, office heating/cooling is amortized across a large population.
A deflated housing bubble in the 90s and (relatively) lower salaries is also a reason in Tokyo.

The median household income in the Bay Area is $128,000 [0] versus around $50-60,000 in Japan [1], with median house priced at $1.3m and ~$300k respectively.

Both are pretty unaffordable for people earning normal salaries.

The median in NSW (where Sydney is located) is around AUD$62,000 [2] but the median house go for AUD$1.3m [2]

Happy to see more folks working on fast terminal emulators!

Earlier this year, I went through every single terminal emulator in Arch's repos and tested using them while compiling AOSP (Android). AOSP's Soong build system does not produce a lot of scrollback, but it does overwrite a line containing the progress ~150k times (once per source file). Alacritty was the only one that was both responsive and didn't eat up a CPU core (staying under 10%). Wezterm, Kitty, Foot, and Konsole stayed responsive, but used 100% CPU on a single core, causing a measurable impact to the build speed (though Konsole 23.08 seems to have regressed and now sometimes locks up). Most of the others became unresponsive or had multiple second delays trying to do anything (eg. ^C, opening new tab, etc.).
I disagree. Im sure fossil designers don’t want the whole thing to break if the wiki breaks, but have you tested it? I don’t know what dependencies it has or how well it’s designed. Im not worried about it being turned off. I’m worried about a bug in the wiki portion killing the “important” version.

But my argument is that I don’t want my important thing I care about doing unimportant things I don’t care about.

I love wikis and I love coffee. But I don’t want to have to install a wiki just to use source control.

I love used enough systems where stuff breaks because of a particular feature I didn’t know about and certainly don’t want (atlassian) to be wary of things.

And while the car / coffee maker allegory is funny, I wouldn’t be surprised if a car does break in the near future because some dumb feature can’t phone home and validate. Or the battery died from some process that kept running and was completely unnecessary.
It was just an example, but since you mentioned it, that perfectly points out what I meant about convenience.

I can stick a package of meat in the microwave and hit a couple buttons and then go do something else instead of running water for a few seconds until it heats up, possibly having to fill the sink or a bowl and put the meat in. All of which takes more time and effort for basically the same result.
> Forget that you know git, github, git-lfs, even software engineering for a moment. All you know is that you're developing a general project on a computer, you are using files, and you want version history on everything. What's wrong with that?

That doesn't answer my comment at all in the context of this thread
For whatever it's worth, this is interesting as someone who (a) wants to learn to build UIs, (b) doesn't care about getting a front-end job (so I don't care about learning React or whatever to get me a job) and (c) absolutely hates the Javascript bundled-compiling-insanity hell that is modern front-end.

I will absolutely consider any new simplified language and new ecosystem over this garbage that people only use because its pushed by FAANG companies to have enough labour to keep costs down.

So yeah, if you're a front end dev, maybe not worth it, but there are other demographics than hyper-specialized next/nuxt/react/svelte developers who MUST have the most artistic control possible to create little doodads and whatever.

We know life can be busy. And we often struggle to make time for the people that matter most to us.

According to a Harvard study from 2021, "36% of all Americans [...] feel “serious loneliness.”" [1]

We created an app to help people focus on their most personal relationships and guide them through forming more meaningful connections with them, in the hopes to combat the "Loneliness Epidemic".

We just launched the first iteration - call it an MVP if you like - something to validate our ideas and get the conversation started.

We are looking for people to try out what we have built and share their thoughts. The functionality is very basic for now, but we are planning to expand based on our users' feedback.

Here is what you can do today:

* Tell us who the people are that matter most to you

* Get daily reminders to reach out to them

* Send them virtual postcards with over 50 handcrafted designs

I don't think I've ever encountered a problem where terminal emulation would be too slow. What I do have encountered are terminal emulators that go bonkers and require some arcane configuration magic to figure out what to emulate.

GNOME terminal works and looks pleasant to boot. In fact it works so well that I almost never think of it although I use it all the time.

She also made some significant errors in physics videos.

One example is she calculated the power output of fusion reactions as energy created by fusion * heat to electricity conversion efficiency. However, energy that’s heating the plasma should also recoverable at the same conversion efficiency. Largely irrelevant a Q=1,000 but it plays a major role in what Q is breakeven and what Q is economically useful.

Not on the surface such a big deal, but a sign she should reach out more to actual experts in these fields.

I'd be interested to know if they have a rough time frame for when this happened. 100k years ago? 500k years ago? I assume the neanderthals, denisovans and florensians were already around at this point?
This is neat. I feel like it should be blind by default though.

How to train your jellyfish: brainless box jellies learn from experience
I was once bringing foam nunchucks to my partner. They were foam, as in pool noodle foam, and they were used for training.

I was blocked and told I'd have to check the bag. I did and missed the flight, so my partner picked up the bag (free shipping!) and I stayed home that weekend.

The TSA is such a joke. The fact that they can't even make determinations without leaving the, "The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint" disclaimer shows it's all pretend, made up bull.

In a sample of >1000 games, GPT-3.5-turbo-instruct plays chess with ~1800 elo
This is better than the vast majority of players on lichess.org, and also much better than GPT-4.

I checked a random sample of games manually, and all of them quickly diverged from each other and from the lichess database (of ~5B games), so it is inconceivable that the training data contained a significant portion of these games.

Hopefully OpenAI releases an instruct version of GPT-4 so we can see if scaling continues to bear fruit.

EDIT: I played against it once. It got a winning position and then blundered mate in 1. Considering the chat model can barely find legal moves this is still very impressive IMO.
I like Sabine's work but in the areas where I do have substantial context or expertise she is sometimes subtly off. It tends to happen in feature videos more than in her weekly science summaries. To her credit, she does tend to issue corrections when it's pointed out.
Why do people unironically like “Walk On The Wild Side”

Answer: “can I kick it? Yes you can.”
I think it is undergoing a resurgence due to the LLM prolifereating, but I haven't seen how Prolog is being used in the LLM creation. Of course, I don't really understand the whole process of the creation. I do remember someone on a academic/programmer forum stating Prolog regarding research was big in academics in Europe whereas Lisp was more popular in America academics for research. It would make sense as Richard Stallman was big into AI Lisp as a consultant.
I don't think it's that simple.

I live in Vancouver, I'm pretty familiar with Tel-Aviv, and I visited Sydney ;)

Tel-Aviv is expensive because it's the place people want to be. As you say, it's cheaper outside of Tel-Aviv and there's a reason for that. Vancouver is like that as well, there are more amenities, more jobs, a better "life style" so to speak, in Vancouver. And people are willing to pay for that. And part of why it's like that is because of the density and the people that live there. So sure, in theory you could build another city like Vancouver on the Sunshine Coast, or on Vancouver Island, but in practice you can not - it's the results of decades of evolution.

In Israel lessay Hadera or Netanya could be Tel-Aviv... But they're not. And so you pay less to live there.

There's plenty of "land" in Australia but most of it is a) desert you don't want to live in, b) too far from anything. The Sydney metropolitan area is very large. Not unlike Gush Dan or Greater Vancouver. And in that area there isn't "more land" so all the other land, like all the other land in Canada, doesn't matter. Israel being a speck compared to those does actually have a shortage of land since you aren't going to turn the entire country into a city (one would hope).

That said it's true there's been a bubble, mostly related to interest rates. But as they say the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Even if prices correct in Israel or in Canada or in Australia the highly desirable areas are likely to still remain relatively, and absolutely, expensive. Things that can change that are reduced demand, economic downturn, those areas becoming less desirable, etc.

People keep talking about lack of affordability, but the reality is there are (a lot of!) people that can afford to live in those places, the 1%. The 99% can't afford but those aren't the ones buying those properties. All these cities have a population that's significantly more affluent than lessay 40 years ago. In Vancouver and Tel-Aviv e.g. a lot of tech workers.
I wish we had remote meetings, even annoucements, and other such stuff still noted in an "internet time" like that.

This problem has been solved on other printers. The dimension has been "jailbroken". Yoi can buy the rfid chips, reprogram them, people sell already done ones and even complete knock off filament cartridges.

It's just like ink jet printers, you say this will be a problem but it just won't, the community will solve it for you.
> I mean, it's a nice thought, but it does not change the situation I described. The persons with the power of authority determine whether or not the surveillance data can be accessed.

That is why you (and all the kids) wear a 360 degree camera connected to a mobile network that is backing up to a remote site you control.

Just like you want your own dashcam in the car to have the option to show your side in the event of a collision.

Or you start recording on your phone once you get pulled over by the cops.
What's preventing people from engaging in these transactions is not a technological problem, but generally a regulatory one.

"This allows people to break the law", which is what you are saying, is not a good thing, even if a subset of the laws being bypassed are unjust. It's the opposite of utility as far as I'm concerned.

Your second point is entirely fair, but only insofar as the added value provided by blockchain cannot be attained by other means.
> It's a single script

It's over 1200 lines of code, it's not like it's 100 lines of code and can fit on a single screen

> Globals are fine--they're even marked as such

I would argue that globals in this context are not fine from a code maintainability point of view.

By using globals here it's hard to know from a function call if it's going to mutate global state or not. If all the functions were methods of the same class instance, and other functions were just functions or part of some other class, then it gives you a clear grouping of calls which are related to mutating that state.

In general I would argue if you are ever in the situation of "I have more than two or three functions that are related to each other and they all need to mutate the same state so I use a mutable global" or "I pass around the mutable state via arguments" then make a class! It creates an obvious semantic grouping of callables.
These are incredible. The engineering and software that goes into making such a miniaturized product with this fidelity. My teenage self would have been in awe.
The tricky part here is to determine what should trigger the rerender.
The Internet Is About to Get Much Worse
> I don't have a solution for the less-technical folks right now

When I set a computer for any of my friends and family, I drop uBlock Origin on it and show them briefly how it works, usually using cnn or similar sites an example. It solves 99% of any computer problems they run into.
> And, just because they’re included doesn’t mean they detract the value of the other stuff that is there.

I think this is a philosophical preference.

I think they do detract because they make the system more complex. And fossil developers work on that instead of the think I want. So there’s a cost there.

Having an AC and radio in a car increases its price. Not by much but by something. If designers didn’t work in the AC, there would be something else they put in. Or the car would be simpler.

I definitely want an AC in every car I buy. Maybe a radio. So I don’t mind they they’re bundled.

I’m sure the people who want wikis and chat in every repo like it too. Good for them, use it. I wish them the best. I don’t like it and think it detracts from their product.

I consider them more like project management or collab software with a custom vcm built in. And so I’d rather prefer some collab stack that uses the best vcm stack I think is out there, git.

So they’re on a tough spot because they’d be better off just selling all their GitHub-competitor features without trying to convince people to switch off of git.

Just like a car coffee maker company would be better off just making coffee makers they fit into popular cars rather than trying to make a literal car.
I glanced at the code, but still not sure how did he prompt ChatGPT. Just feeding the pure PGN with no further instruction?
A lot of the last few years of releases has been about tweaking defaults and providing a smoother experience for first time users. This is very subjective obviously, but I find KDE Ddefaults to be a lot closer to what I like, and I appreciate having all the options be built-in as opposed to having to hunt a dozen or so random gnome shell extensions to get that last 5%.

KDE 3 and 4 were a dumpster fire. Even the first release of Plasma was very rough. But I switched to KDE maybe 5 years ago and never really looked back. If your experience with KDE is from 15 years, give it a shot with an open mind. It’s pretty great imo

Since the final decision rests with the TSA officer.. maybe.. just maybe you can sweet talk them and they'll allow it since it is _just_ a hiking pole.

Otherwise, agree. What an annoyance.
First, OCD may require professional help if you can't manage it rationally.

With that being said, managing personal projects is simpler than "management" which involves human interations.

In short, start with a basic pen, paper or notepad-like software. Update it as shortcomings appear. Managing is like designing data structures or databases: it involves "reads" and "writes" (I actually mean "search and read" and "search and write", to be percise), starts simply, and is designed around use cases.

I've applied this to cooking. I used to struggle finding spices in a deep drawer. I realized they were organized like a stack, making it difficult to reach the ones at the back. I moved them to a wider drawer. The frequent used ones shuffles to the front, whereas the less used are left in the back. And with time, I memorized their rough locations.

This process mirrored data structure design: starting with a minimal structure (linked list), moving to a more complex one when it becomes slow (search trees), and further improving it when it gets imbalanced (AVL tree). You'll not going to invent red–black tree in the first place - even copy it from the text book is a pain.

This perspective can be applied to anything - digital data, paper systems, or physical spaces. 'Reads' and 'writes' costs are determined by the system you use. System efficiency depends on its use case and time as costs are "amortized".

A few examples:

Diary: Easy to write, harder to read. Low overhead makes it enjoyable to write.

Dictionary: Takes longer to write, quicker to read. The large audience justifies the high writing cost for well-organized indexes.

Research notes: Balanced read-write (citations and knowledge graph). Constantly evolving knowledge even makes folders inadequate, hence the popularity of software like Obsidian and systems like Zettelkastens. But such systems take efforts to build so most people adopt instead of developing their own.

RDBMS: Balanced read-write but difficult to develop.

Kafka-ish DB: Designed for high-speed writing. RDBMS is too slow for its use case due to constant indexing.

Your system will depend on your use case, which will emerge over time.
> Like, literally everyone would be better off if the TSA paid people to just stay home and do absolutely nothing at all.

I don’t think the TSA agents would be better off in that scenario.

It’s incredible - but still, if I was doing professional photography, I’d have a professional camera if only to avoid the generic “iPhone look” that can’t quite be quantified. Also because, if I showed up to a shoot with an iPhone… my reputation would be suspect.
Yes, apparently there are places where you can buy the tags.

Here us a good thread on the whole thing:

Would try to target communities that align with your target audience - Twitter, Subreddits, Facebook groups, or Discord. Can also promote more generally on some of these platforms or ProductHunt

Another method, guerilla testing, worked well in grad school. Go to a public place - a library, coffee shop, etc. Politely ask random people to test your project. The obvious downside is they may not fit your target audience, but it's a cheap and scrappy way to get some feedback.

…those questions are all answered by wealthy liberals profiting off real estate speculation at the expense of everything else. You can’t have a functioning society where someone’s right to make obscene returns on a single family home is privileged over people shitting and dying on the streets. When you do, you end up with the severe inequality and dysfunction of California’s cities. Trust me, I know. I live in one. But this trend is playing out all across America, red or blue. California just did a speed-run of the consequences of “fuck you, I got mine” by passing a suite of especially terrible laws in the 70s while being one of the world’s largest economies. Most red-voting areas are nowhere near as economically productive as California, so they haven’t (until recently) been able to draw the same level of speculative investment.
