I am struggling to understand why this would be the case.

Maybe if a large majority of people do not own a device and have to use a borrowed computer, this could be a problem.

But (as far as I know) most Android phones ship with a mail client, and so does Windows.
>...since skipping breakfast is associated with bad health behaviour anyways

I have never heard this.

In America, if someone says they are eating breakfast, I assume they are eating junk: bagels, McMuffins, cereal bars, etc. Not muesli.
A key insight into things like this is that many regulations are like speed limits: loosely enforced. Sometimes because it is too hard to inspect every shop handling dangerous materials.

In cases like these you have to ban the dangerous material, or essentially kill the market for the products that use it.

BTW, I'm not sure how solid granite, soapstone, marble, etc. would be any better. Maybe my 30 year old totally fake Corian is back in style. But for the microplastics from scrubbing it?
I’m curious on what the generous reading of the bill is.

https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1467/?Tab=BillTex...

It allows individual parents to DDoS the school with objections to individual materials, forcing hearings led by a vaguely defined “unbiased” individual.

It requires librarians to undergo state level training to choose materials. How bad this is really depends on the content of the training (do any of us know what that is?). We all know who controls the state government of Florida.

It doesn’t have to be overt censorship to be a bad bill that disincentivizes schools from carrying books with controversial topics and has the effective result of censorship. If a school wants to avoid a procedural nightmare they just can’t carry some materials at all.

Here’s a quote directly from Ron DeSantis’ website championing the bill:

> “Recently I discovered one of the most disturbing, pornographic books in my child’s high school in Orange County,” said Alicia Farrant, Parent, Orange County. “After some research, I learned that an alarming percentage of high school and middle school library books contain similar material. It is appalling that removal of pornographic and sexually explicit books has even been cause for debate.”

https://www.flgov.com/2022/03/25/governor-ron-desantis-signs...

In other words, some parent was mad that a book discussed sex. A glaring omission is the title of the material, it’s just an anonymous unknown scapegoat. Now the it is undoubtedly banned thanks to the objection of one parent.

Now students have one less resource that gives them information and perspective about the changes happening to their body and their journey to adulthood. Now parents can easily get books removed based on their personal objections rather than their value to the school community as a whole.
It was great for the context of 1990's IDEs, and most people would use plugins anyway.

Visual Assist being a well known one.

It isn't as if JetBrains products aren't full of plugins as well.
Yeah. People (particularly politicians, in public) are afraid to say that mostly what they want is vengeance.

So they frame it as "deterring others in the future" which sounds sort of noble.

It's like they know the vengeance thing is f--ed up. Why else would they lie?

Perhaps even worse is that the politicians themselves might not even crave vengeance. A lot of the time, they're just pandering to voters who want it.

> brute aggressive quantization

Quantization like ExLlama's EX2 or even llama.cpp's k-quants is already far from brute force: https://github.com/turboderp/exllamav2#exl2-quantization

> The format allows for mixing quantization levels within a model to achieve any average bitrate between 2 and 8 bits per weight. Moreover, it's possible to apply multiple quantization levels to each linear layer, producing something akin to sparse quantization wherein more important weights (columns) are quantized with more bits. The same remapping trick that lets ExLlama work efficiently with act-order models allows this mixing of formats to happen with little to no impact on performance. Parameter selection is done automatically by quantizing each matrix multiple times, measuring the quantization error (with respect to the chosen calibration data) for each of a number of possible settings, per layer. Finally, a combination is chosen that minimizes the maximum quantization error over the entire model while meeting a target average bitrate.

Llama.cpp is also working on a feature that let's a small model "guess" the output of a big model which then "checks" it for correctness. This is more of a performance feature, but you could also arrange it to accelerate a big model on a small GPU.
https://github.com/angular/tsickle kind of does that. Though it's kind of deprecated and more specifically aimed at the Closure Compiler.
Essential Craftsman on Youtube is where I first heard about mouth taping, he just uses a "GrifGrips Sports Tape", which I was interested to try until I realized it's not really compatible with my beard...

I sleep only "ok", been trying a lot of things to improve it. I have borderline apnea (5.2 events per hour, they start treating at 5), and my Garmin watch puts my SpO2 average around 90, which is maybe a little low for sleeping, but my doctor isn't worried about that. I was hoping the tape would up my "sleep score" a little, but again I haven't tried it.

Essential Craftsman did say he tried the nasal strips and they increased his SpO2 a couple percent. I've tried them over the last week and while it seems easier to breathe through my nose with them, they didn't translate into any increased SpO2 over night according to my watch.

Ok, then suggest some other platform that has the network effects of an existing large audience?

Technology matters far less than network effects. Not saying it doesn't matter at all, but you have to overcome the audiences stickiness to a platform first.
As the Wikipedia page shows, NetBSD had an implementation but later removed it. There isn't really enough information to make a sound judgement on scheduler activations. Although if I had to guess, there might be too much overhead (maintenance of code and/or actual performance) for something that is rarely used. It might make more sense now that we're moving towards user-level concurrency everywhere (async/await, goroutines, virtual threads, etc.).
Current LLMs are in the Pentium IV Netburst stage: hypertrophy of components on old archs have gotten to the limits of what is physically feasible.

I see the opposite. My team was vastly more productive remote, and gained 2 hours of commute time per day.

Your anecdata vs mine? ;)
This is absolutely a problem, but I'm not convinced the author has found a solution. I'd have to try it to know for sure, but from the description, it still sounds finicky.

I believe touch screens are fundamentally a bad interface for productivity. Consider the range of actions provided by a mouse: You can hover without clicking, you can left click, or you can right click, all with nearly pixel-level precision. Add in a keyboard and your options expand even further.

A smartphone is like a computer with a one-button mouse and an abnormally large, irregularly shaped cursor, where can never be sure which part of the cursor indicates your actual click target. Software on this computer is not aware of the cursor's location until after the mouse has been clicked, and portions of the screen are blacked out when you move the mouse to certain positions. Your keyboard only works when you bring up an on-screen overlay which takes up ~35% of your screen real-estate, on a monitor which is abnormally small to begin with.

Could any amount of well-designed software make text entry efficient on this machine?

This is a hardware problem, not a software problem.
Upload speed seems like a non-concern, just based on time. Even very active people are going to spend like 1% of available time downloading. So effective net upload bandwidth is going to be 100x bigger (times by your connections up/down speed ratio).

So long as people seed for some time, there tends to be amazing availability and absurdly fast speeds.

I'd love exact numbers but my impression is 80%+ of consumer wifi routers ship with upnp-igd and often Apple's nat-pmpd, which means any torrent program you open worth a salt will port-forward just fine. I can't think of the last household wifi I was on that didn't have upnp-igd, it's been so long.

In some ways p2p has been underinvested in because it has worked so well for so long. Various public & private trackers have come and gone but theres been a variety of good-enough options. Tribler pioneered p2p search over BitTorrent a long time ago & some users report that works surprisingly well for them & I think maybe that technique is semi widely done in clients now.

I think the main thing is just getting new folks in the door, and setup to find stuff. Bandwidth & connectivity seem pretty great. But we keep having major trackers collapse, and it's unclear how to get people started & successful.

I think there's a close correspondence though. What you naively think of as a knot is a mathematical knot if you join the ends together, and I think any given mathematical knot can give rise to a regular knot.

I know very little about it other than a friend of mine did a PhD in it, but it gets weird fast. Like they often consider it in canonical forms that look nothing like a practice knot, and then of course they start showing correspondences with polynomials &c.

"We couldn't simultaneously argue two conflicting theories of defense"...

Isn't quite the same argument when your revealed preference shows you not to believe either theory to stand on its own (or together).

"Your honor, we'd like this conviction thrown out because we couldve/shouldve claimed 'defense option B'." Retrial granted. "No! We don't actually want to retry with 'defense option B'! We just needed a reason to throw out conviction based on 'defense option A'!"
That's why I suggested it... I myself am diagnosed ASD and have realized the amount of time spent finding, curating, tinkering with these "life-hacking" apps... and the diminishing returns they all produce. By all means, use a Contacts, Calendar, and ToDo app to get a reminder... Then take any spare time remaining and actually get out and connect with the people you care about, instead of endlessly optimizing, in solitude, in front of a device, the systems and processes around the meta for personal relationships.

The premise that one of the myriad of other tools that already exist to get a reminder to connect with someone you care about are somehow so insufficient, and that if only I had this new CRM app for personal relationships that I'd finally be able to cultivate those relationships like I've always wanted, is just so preposterous sounding to me that I felt I had to comment.

I've only diagnosed one case of coccidioidomycosis, and it was on a small tropical island. Black male in his early 20s. Looked for all the world like a cutaneous lymphoma. Biopsy was full of granulomas and I got a fungal stain reflexively. We were all flabbergasted. Turns out the young man was from the Central Valley.

I note the patient's sex and race because it seems this particular group either has a particular tolerance for the disease until it's metastatic, or has a particularly aggressive reaction to metastatic disease. In either case, my ID colleagues tell me that when they present, they seem to present with markedly worse systemic disease. Don't take my word for it, here's the Mayo Clinic, reviewing many other studies over decades:

Yes text editing on mobile is really bad. But at least on Android, the OpenBoard keyboard helps a lot. Movement from the cursor and backspace.

Creating pornography featuring the likeness of anyone, child or adult, should automatically be classified as a crime similar to revenge pornography laws.

Creating child pornography that does not feature the likeness of someone living or dead should be prosecuted under obscenity laws, but not as child abuse, since by definition no children were abused.

Just a note on naming: fibers, goroutines, green threads, virtual threads and the like are stackful coroutines (miniature threads, essentially). Then there are stackless coroutines, which are state machine objects that have function coloring (async/await).

I remember the first Android phone. It was small, and had a real keyboard. It's not that it can't be done, it's that it's cheaper to not have one, and they can get away with it because of the lowest common denominator consumer.

Only three ways to move the mouse seems relatively tame compared to the forest of Linux API calls when it comes to input (depends on X11/Wayland among other things). Also, your last link clearly states that the API call has been superseded, so if you follow the documentation you only have two options.

I don't think the difference between the two is all that strange. One sets the position of the cursor, the other interacts with the system like a normal mouse. The mouse and the cursor are separate things, and they're handled at different levels in the API stack, like XSendEvent and sending data to libinput.

~5 years ago I had a quartz countertop installed. For the final install, the workers were out in the front yard making some final cuts. My 10yo son comes out to see what's going on, looks at the giant cloud of dust, says "Silicosis ain't no joke" and goes back inside.

Dan's blog might come across as him being overly intelligent and not wanting to explain things to those less intelligent, but I still think the other two examples are valid.

Not long ago, we had our countertop replaced (from quartz to granite). They ended up having to make a cut in it while it was sitting in our kitchen. Our home was in a cloud of dust for several hours, and when the dust finally settled a day later, every surface imaginable was covered in dust.

I’m pretty sure none of them wore masks when doing this. I honestly didn’t think to wear a mask either (since they weren’t and never really even warned us how bad it would be), but fortunately we were behind closed doors most of the time the particles were in the air.

Fortunately it was a granite countertop and not quartz. But I still can’t imagine that stuff is good to breathe on a recurring basis, and it still amazes me that they were fairly casual about the whole thing.

My guess is the industry just isn’t educating workers about the risks.
