I've been someone who used Windows, MacOS and around 20 Linux distros extensively across many laptops / PCs. Always tempering, endless configuration, customization, frustration with Windows instability, MacOS inflexibility or e.g. needing to spend days so my audio works on Linux.

A couple of years ago, I picked up Thinkpad P1 (Ryzen 4800U) and got settled with Arch + Plasma. I've never before had such a snappy, quiet, stable, 3 monitors, all hardware and software just working, fully customized, and empowering experience of using a computer and went years without needing to touch anything - as it was perfect.

It ended when I couldn't resist a new MBP 14, but I've been slowly accumulating nostalgia for my Linux setup since and will surely get back to it, hopefully when Asahi Linux completes support for external monitors.
You need to trust at least the hardware manufacturer. If that is yourself, then you probably don't have equipment needed to make it so fast as to be able to use modern software or services practically.
> I'm coming from physics

I figured as much :-) because using n and m for vector and linear map dimensions is actually the older, more established convention.

> I'm looking for ways to make them linear (or close to linear)

The holy grail in AI research right now. I imagine you're looking, or have looked, at mapping models to frequency space to make complexity O(n log n). Take a look at the work the Hazy Research folks have been doing at Stanford -- if you haven't already.
I have a full size Code keyboard at home and a tenkeyless one for work. I went with the TKL because it has a much smaller desk footprint and I end up with a bunch of other stuff taking up space on my desk at work. I can also fit the keyboard in my laptop bag if I need to (admittedly, this has mattered almost never). At home I end up doing enough number entry in personal finance spreadsheets and the like that I feel like I’d miss the numpad, but it’s rarely been an issue for me at work.
Same path. On a mac I've been using Zed. If you're on a mac you could consider it. On the downside it's back to lldb for debugging, but that's not a big deal.
I react similarly to cold calls and spam.
I should look into replacing my X230 with an X270, they look to now be the same price point I paid for mine second hand three years ago.
More along the lines of what I was expecting to see here.
I did not know this detail, I know the Danish state offered apologies, the charges were dropped and the child was returned to the parents.
If you can measure the front and back horizon accurately you can measure the left and right horizons too, and that will give you an accurate down vector.

But I don't think it's possible to measure a horizon that accurately. There are temperature and pressure dependent atmospheric effects at low angles that effect how light refracts and curves through the atmosphere, and these effects will have to be compensated for to measure the angle accurately. Additionally, there are mountains and valleys to compensate for.
Seems like we are getting to different conclusion from the same premise. Both agree AI tech isn't the problem, the system we live in it is. So I don't understand why should AI take up so much space in public discourse while we should be talking about how to fix the larger societal issues.
Remove the US from the list of western countries and it must be better today, yes?
I use zigbee2mqtt, home assistant and nodered all installed on a vm. I have been running this for years.
I also use DIYhue - which will take the homeassistant/z2m bulbs (and homebrew LEDS) and present them to Alexa in a friendly way (as hue controlled lights).
I'd never heard of this, and it's already proved a fascinating rabbit hole. Thanks!
I think one of the old X11 window managers could mimic that behavior as well, when using the BeOS skin... It might've been KWin around KDE3 series, but my memory might be failing me.
This is the part where you're supposed to tell everyone about your distro and start a 20 responses thread.
It seems it was quite productive, no? An important bug was fixed. Next time, it probably won't. Which may very well be a fine trade-off if giving credit is a lot of work that nobody wants to do - just expect less contributions with that approach.
It's an app for blind people or people with low vision. They still have common sense. Why do you think you can deny them access?

Repelling drive-by contributors usually pertains to people who want to dump massive amounts of feature creep into existing FOSS. There's a legitimate place for not adding Bobs massive feature list all at once because you don't know if Bob will be around after 2 years and you end up cutting most of them because you can't figure them out.

The last place biting drive-by contributors should apply is for bugfixes. Bugfixes are one of the most common ways beginners/newcomers are incentivized to contribute (and keep contributing), especially to FOSS. Even Stallman, who otherwise is someone who I would not consider a good example for any kind of communication, implicitly acknowledges that if you're a maintainer, you should try to work with people submitting patches to get them merged rather than antagonize them because of your possible maintenance burden[0].

[0]: https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html (see the how to learn to program section, which while largely bad advice on actually learning how to program, does have the nugget that "fixing bugs is a great way to get into FOSS dev" and "most maintainers will be happy to receive your patches and work with you to get them formatted and correct", which is imo implicit advice for maintainers to be kind to new contributors.)
> I'm aware, but the bar for a guilty mind is quite low.

Do you mean this in terms of a cross-system comparison (i.e. variation between legal systems)?

Do you mean this in terms of some philosophy that lays out a more sensible stance?

I've been digging into this somewhat; happy to learn more.
I'm not sure why intentions would matter here, or how one would compare the value of different intentions. If someone adds value to the codebase and fixes, or helps to fix, a valid bug why should we care why they did it?

Sure intentions may indicate the liklihood of the person contributing more in the future, but that's a health metric for the project and unrelated from the contribution itself.
As A blind person, hopefully this never happens. But if it does, hopefully the person who decided to use the AI improperly. I know this might sound crazy, but maybe, just maybe, we should allow blind people themselves to take responsibility for the ways in which they use technology. Rather than locking up the dangerous AI that they might hurt themselves with, perhaps we might just allow blind people themselves to determine how much risk they are comfortable with taking.
Strange, on my M2 MacBook Pro this still absolutely crawls. I thought it was my personal (intel) MacBook Pro, but it's still extremely slow on my M2. Looks amazing, but definitely requires a massive performance improvement before it's useful. Keep at it! :)

edit: chrome btw
As a southpaw who uses the mouse on the left side I've never realized the advantage I've had all these years with this setup. I use numpad + mouse all the time and it does save a lot of time. Almost makes up for having to change the default WASD key bindings in every game I've played.
It's a mixed bag. You obviously need to know the rules, but they aren't too complicated. SBIR topics are released several times a year in huge batches. Pretty much every branch of government has topics out for proposal, military, health, education, etc. Topics vary in specificity from "Pitch us anything" to "We want this very complicated component that does XYZ, is this exact size, and meets these exact specifications and performance values". The latter are usually pretty clearly intended for a specific company who either already makes or is already researching that component, but they're using the SBIR fund for money so they can't just pick them specifically. I can't prove it, but those just seem to be someone that knows someone important and managed to get a very specific SBIR written for their thing. Some are also clearly written by people who have no idea what they want. I used to work for a start up that did a lot of SBIRs while trying to get off the ground. They'd write like 10-15 proposals per year and maybe get approved for 1-4.
It's ironical to see people have nothing to say about the text over last 6 hours since posting. Those who got something from it, what's all that mental and verbal juggling is about? Is there anything more than author self-entertainment? I'm curious.
Children in foster care start off in a much worse situation than average. Or at least that is the normal case, there are exceptions like the article.

Many parents of 'mentally disabled' kids put the kids in foster care because the parents need a break from the constant care of a kid who isn't normal. Many other kids end up in foster care because they have been abused. Both of those will make the kids much worse than normal and thus much harder to care for.

Kids that are close to normal but end up in foster care often end up adopted fairly quick - there are plenty of families who want a kid but not their own (I personally know several people with genetics they don't want to pass on - there are other good reasons to not want someone else's kids) - but they will try to select a kid who is going to be easy to raise thus kids who will end up normal don't spend much time in foster care.
It's for several console platforms but not, alas, PC. I'm also not a massive fan of busy saturated graphics. Good tip, though.

I'm currently playing Invisible, Inc and loving it. It's more akin to XCom 2 in pace and scale than Into The Breach, though.

Crimson Tide is a 1995 American action thriller film directed by Tony Scott and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. It takes place during a period of political turmoil in Russia, in which ultranationalists threaten to launch nuclear missiles at the United States and Japan.

Yes cheating sucks but becoming a policeman to enforce ones image of perfection onto an imperfect world is when the obsession becomes unhealthy.

Either work to improve your own stats and accept that people will cheat.

Or pick up your ball and go play elsewhere - in this case a real life outdoor activity where cheating isn't as easy as hooking a motor inside.
I forgot to add TODAY to the end of my sentence. I am really suspicions of what kind of people this were.

The narrator of the video claim that some men wanted to go further in s3xually assaulting her but THEIR WIVES would not let them. Exuse me WTF. What kind of men go there with their wives and do this in front of them. This seems to be a very weird crowd. Maybe a planted audience or just different times.

Again I do think think it would happen today like this, especially not if it was videoed.

> This is pretty trivial to build once you have given it some thought, it sits nicely next to the work you do building health-checks into the various tiers of your infrastructure, yet there are enough people out there willing to pay for it.

I think the reason you don't have a bootstrapped startup is because you don't see the difference between trivial and valuable.

Would it be easy for you to build out a feature flag app? Yes, most devs probably can without a huge problem. But it will take them time to do it, and it will require maintenance over time. If it takes a senior dev two weeks of dev time in sum total over 4 years, it would be "cheaper" to pay $100/mo for this service. This type of product product has value as it allows us to spend our limited dev time more on forward feature development that drives future revenue and less on infrastructure.

This is the math that companies buying SaaS products will make. I don't want my eng team to spend hours on trivial stuff, I want them to work on the things that move the needle for the company. I'll gladly pay $$$ for certain features and functionalities that are not part of our core competencies so that the team can focus on the things that are. And once we're a Big Company paying Enterprise tier prices to a feature flag company or whatever, we can have the chat about in-housing it or building Feature #137,221

Sometimes it's not even "I use them not", sometimes it's "I need to use them because some program/whatever requires them" so there is no options.

And PrtScr on these keyboards replaces ContextMenu and I'm hardwired for a quarter of century to use it when I'm on the go without a mouse (hey, it's a laptop!). I lost my clipboard contents too many times so I had to figure it out, but it's ridiculous in the first place.

And overall it's like having a dildo in the driver seat of your car - you can choose to use it or not to, but still there should be no such thing in the driver seat of a car at all. /rant
You want the Apple magic? You've got to drink the entire potion. It's all of a piece.
Just to play double-devils advocate:

If you want something done right, other times you will have to get someone else to do it. You know what you want, but you might not have the skills to do it. I can't represent myself well in court, do a good job of plumbing or cut my own hair, so I would ask for experts to do that for me.

Plus if someone is capable, it's often quicker to delegate than do, and if you are delegating to someone with more time to do the task they can often do a better job. Delegating unambiguously is a skill in itself, as instructing AIs will be.

C11 Threads in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8 Preview 2
This has been my experience contributing to F/OSS, as well. Upstream maintainers loooooove stealing your code. They are exceptionally unpleasant to work with, overwhelmingly so.

"Sorry, I like my version better" is almost verbatim the same ripoff-kissoff I've gotten before in one specific circumstance in the past.
The bricks, the most well-known of their product, certainly are.

> it's impossible to differentiate genuine anecdotes from agendapushing.

You're right. I had a friend from Malmo, Sweden who talked about the weirdness of the city being used as a talking point both left and right wing Americans.

Her feeling was the left were saying everything was fine, the right were saying it's a dystopian nightmare, and neither were accurate. It's a city with unique problems.
...but as the Guardian article says, over 80% is, and those are the bricks you probably think of when hearing "LEGO" - the remainder are elements that are transparent, bendy, have to be especially durable or have other special requirements. The article you linked also includes several "historic" plastic materials that aren't used anymore.

>The fact that LLMs don’t reflect a consistent inner model in that way

You're probably not going to ask any human a question about an image and get every single detail you want every time. If you care about a detail, just ask about it. Doesn't really have anything to do with a consistent inner model.
this thread is *wild*, everyone is jumping down the OPs throat for the crime of doing a ton of work while receiving zero credit for it and having the gall to be upset about it
A white noppoo choc mini was my introduction to mechanical keyboards, I still have it and it works without any issues but it now sits in my cabinet next to my desk. Got it because Reckful (RIP) had one and was doing a lot of typeracer back then and I liked the click/clack sounds it made. Nowadays I'm using a Ducky DK2108 with a set of double-shot PBT keycaps, the keyboard is indestructible and looks brand new, can't justify replacing it.
no, and it’s pretty trivial to grab and upload to google play books or similar sites
I was genuinely hoping to see something weird like how you designed your custom PCBs and made a simple ergonomic keyboard for yourself. How you transitioned the mortal plane into a weird keyboard realm.

I was sighted volunteer on a call with a fellow using a treadmill touchscreen. He already knew the menu flow but the UX was dynamic and it wasn't his screen or he could put locator dots on it (Lesson to all designers! Hardware can have physical buttons!). Our interaction was mostly him stating his goal determining the screen's starting state and then where UI elements were, and I would feed back his finger position like "a little left ... no, too far, now up a little ... ok hit it."

I think we can imagine an AI could describe the screen, and even find non-language visual elements if asked explicitly, like arrows or turtle vs hare icons etc. But is it ready to have shared context of how people need to interact with that UI?

If the goal of higher-education is to educate persons, then the model you propose would seem to be in the best interests of citizens.

If, however, the goal of higher-education is profiteering off the citizenry, then your model would prevent those profits from occurring.

Which model do you believe the US follows, education, or profiteering?

The answer is unsurprising and able to be gleaned from financial statements, and enrollment data alone.

It doesn’t mention anything about the limited talent pool you’ll be pulling from to build war tech. I for example would never use my skills to enable or empower the military and I’m sure I’m not alone. As an industry we should resist building weapons and spy tech, even if it pays.
I mean more developed, because a country like Saudi Arabia is rich but not developed imho, and there could be countries that are develope -- i.e. they have good education, infrastructure, medical care, human rights, clean environment etc etc and not that rich.
You're assuming that medical science is capable of providing an explanation in every case, when the whole point of this article is to say that these symptoms are insufficient to diagnose SBS. The author is saying if we have no alternative medical explanations, then we have no medical explanation at all. In order to diagnose SBS, the author suggests that you need additional evidence suggesting trauma such as bruising, broken bones, etc. Indeed, that seems to be what the SBS lobby is now saying as well, they just haven't communicated that to front-line providers.

Being in the college grind, what my wife and I found when our children started applying is that this is true of the colleges you've never heard of, but the "big name" colleges do tell you pretty much what you're going to pay, unless you're dirt poor. University of Boise? Free ride. MIT? The price is the price, deal with it.
I want to see this, but with a user friendly capabilities-based security design so that downloading an app from the internet can't steal my credentials and documents.

I went from a low profile scissor switch keyboard to a K5 Pro and, while it's not the same, I'm also happy with the outcome.

There's still some relearning because key placement is slightly different (sometimes I hit spacebar instead of left alt/command).

Also, I think the MX Keys that he likes is flat (ortholinear?) and the K-series has a slight stagger to the keys (but I also didn't find it to be an issue).
