It'll depend on who you ask and what lens you look in. "small" for a dev is very different from a consumer

And when you split into disciplines it gets even more murky. VN's are "small" for a programmer (you may not even need to program for many of them) but can be hundreds of art assets for an artist to work on. Likewise, something like Dwarf Fortress didn't even have a GUI at first but is filled to the brim with simulation state for a programmer to manage.

And if course that definition is relative. Final Fantasy VII was top of the line in 1997 and took 5+years, but it'd be at best a beefy 2-3 man project over a few years today.
Give it a go! For a fun starter example, I recently wrote an awk program to add-or-replace a key pair in a .env file. Easy enough to do with a one liner, but was a fun little mid-day code challenge! The tricky part is the “add if not present”, the END part of an awk program comes in handy here :)

IRL I ended up moving it all into a go cli since there were other complicated moving parts, but just that bit was completely doable with pure (and clear) awk!
How is this different from Odoo?
Huh. Coincidental similarities with my own work log that I've been keeping since 2007 are striking. Even down to using asterisks to mark done items (though I've since switched to the org-style '- [X]') and equal sign followed by a space and a date to start an entry, though my inspiration was actually POD (Perl's Plain Old Documentation format).

My file(s) (it eventually felt too big and I split it up by year, which is also an opportunity to forget about the never-going-to-do items that tend to collect at the bottom) used to be specific to the job I started in 2007, but I ended up using it more and more for personal things, too. Individual projects might have their own TODO files, but my main 'what am I going to do today' keeps going in good old 2023-timelog.txt. Mine might look denser than John Carmack's but then I have a lot of things like

- [X] Start the laundry
- [X] Feed cats AGAIN omg
- [X] Baby-proof the basement door
- [X] $job: Figure out why `mvn spring-boot:run` doesn't f!&#ng work

And honestly this kind of stuff feels like as much, if not more, work than if they were all tasks related to some pet software project.

Whether or not the law is good or bad, this is such a dumb comment.

Obviously, the law would not somehow create caste as a legal category, or otherwise confer recognition, legal or otherwise, that there is validity to the concept of "caste". Surely you understand that right? Your comment suggests you think the law is some kind of proclamation that caste is a real thing that exists, but I mean, surely you just can't be so dumb as to think that (?)

What it would do is try to curtail people who do believe in caste from discriminating against others on the basis of their perceived, supposed "caste".

Surely you understand that the law would thus be "anti-caste"?

> It doesn't make sense to say that a bunch of operations are or are not Turing complete.

and the article’s first sentence says that a “system of rules” such as a computer’s instruction set can be Turing complete.

The article matches my understanding, which is that Turing completeness is a property describing the expressive power of a bunch of operations. You don’t need a computer with infinite memory, or even any physical computer at all, for a bunch of operations to be Turing complete.

Exactly what happened to me, but lasted 6 months. If the middle of the contract hadn't fallen over the US holiday season, when everyone kind of went into a holding pattern because some industries are just that way, it's entirely possible the contract would have been just 3 months.

The organization, at some level, clearly never wanted me to solve the issues I was supposedly brought in to address, but give them cover to say they hired help. After some reflection, I'm starting to think the project was never really expected to succeed in any significant way. The company claimed they were trying to build an in-house replacement for a third party system the vendor no longer supported, but it's possible they just wanted a stop-gap while they found another turn-key vendor. The interim system didn't have to be all that good, it just had to have enough structural integrity to carry the organization over the gap.

“ Low levels of the virus remained in the mice that received the antibody, but those levels didn't increase and signs of rabies did not immediately return, the results showed.”

I’m a little troubled by this outcome. Having the virus linger longer in a living host — is there chance it could mutate or exchange genetic material with another virus like an airborne one?

I don’t know how we would even measure when a human is truly cleared the virus; in mice they know because of an autopsy.
You used to be able to just start a correct looking output but they got really good at detecting that.

llama.cpp ftw. It's not hard for it to be more productive than fighting with the absurd openai censorware... Sadly many of the instruct trained models are tainted with openai censorship because they used GPT4 output in the fine tuning-- but at least on those the trick of starting the correct output yourself works!

Interesting that by 1855, they had a sort of "Network Time Protocol" running over telegraph lines:

> By 1852 a telegraph link had been constructed between a new electro-magnetic clock at Greenwich and initially Lewisham, and shortly after this London Bridge stations. It also connected via the Central Telegraph Station of the Electric Time Company in the City of London, which enabled the transmission of a time signal along the railway telegraphic network to other stations. By 1855 time signals from Greenwich could be sent through wires alongside the railway lines across the length and breadth of Britain.[1]

By the late 19th Century, they had invented "master clocks":

> Between the late 1800s and the availability of Internet time services, many large institutions that depended on accurate timekeeping such as schools, offices, railway networks, telephone exchanges, and factories used master/slave clock networks. These consisted of multiple slave clocks and other timing devices, connected through wires to a master clock which kept them synchronized by electrical signals. The master clock was usually a precision pendulum clock with a seconds pendulum and a robust mechanism. It generated periodic timing signals by electrical contacts attached to the mechanism, transmitted to the controlled equipment through pairs of wires.[2]

I’ve had rabies vaccines twice now; a bat flew into us out hiking and then a raccoon jumped me in our yard.

In no case neither myself or my kids had any discernible side effects. That’s interesting that was possible; considering the vagueness of early onset rabies (fever, fatigue, headache) that must have been worrying.

The worst about rabies is that it can linger for years; I heard of a case where a woman was traveling overseas and had exposure to a rabid monkey, and couldn’t get treatment for a week and then only got the vaccine, no HRIG. They told they won’t really know if it worked until 2 years, if she doesn’t die.

I strongly consider getting my family vaccinated before traveling to any place that doesn’t have ready HRIG and vax, since delay can be so dangerous. It’s a low likelihood but high consequences risk, but the vax is pretty low risk but expensive. Spouse doesn’t think it’s necessary so will have to cross that bridge.

What would a busy person pay to have a service that provides USPS mail address with scanning, one-time or service-specific email addresses, and phone number for SMS? That would be maybe $100/month to make these problems go away. I guess few would pay that, though digital nomads might try it.

Oh, omniglot! I really like how they include some famous conlangs like Quenya and toki pona (both of which I am familiar with). The Quenya and toki pona numbers do seem pretty accurate. There are some discrepancies with Quenya (Omniglot thinks cardinal 14 = "cancëa" while parf edhellen/ardalambion thinks cardinal 14 = "canaquë"). Of course, these errors are relatively minor and might not even be errors since Quenya is still evolving as new documents are found and analyzed.

It's faster to learn the part of the comebase you are interested in rather than building a whole browser engine.

The difference is you can make changes to the browser engine if you need.

> it's nevertheless true that physical computers cannot simulate all Turing machines

Right, I wasn’t arguing that physical computers can be Turing machines, but instead that sets of operations can be Turing complete. There are sets of operations with which one can compose a program that perfectly simulates a Turing machine.

The problem is that physical computers cannot always run these programs accurately, due to memory constraints. But the set of operations is itself Turing complete.

It's quite easy to draw the conclusion that other alternatives were considered such as an easily-replaced battery, but Apple's management decided on a course of action which was plausible enough to be accepted without much further questioning, and wouldn't give the user back any freedoms, and would ultimately lead to more phone sales.

Hopefully, that’s the case. However, the past decade seems to show us, that if something seems hyperbolic, it’s usually rather serious at the moment. When I was hyperbolic any time in my life, I simply lied even to myself at that given moment, and I believed in that lie until my self-correction didn’t kick in seconds or minutes later. But it’s quite difficult to interpret the current political climate, if most people has such self-correction.

This is indeed interesting. In certain use cases where precision is paramount, we might opt for manually crafted code for the computations. This allows us to be confident in the efficiency of our manual method, rather than relying on LLM for such a specific task. However, it remains unclear whether this would be directly integrated with the network or simply be a tool at LLM's disposal. Interestingly, this situation seems to parallel the choice between enhancing the human brain with something like Neuralink and simply equipping with a calculator.
