Really nice list. Back in the day when I started out and did a bit of CCNA material I used the proprietary Cisco Packet Tracer a lot. Ultimatively I did not follow the networking route for various reasons, but if I would have, then GNS3 would have been my simulator of choice. You can load the original Cisco firmware into it (if you can get hold of it) and really study in depth.

this is a thing that surprises people? Perhaps I'm not as brave by doing it in Rust, but I can go weeks without compiling code. Rewrite or refactor everything, be done, have it entirely work or only require a couple tweaks.

Well, that's because they did it wrong. Tiny math function like this should be defined in the header file and force-inlined, problem solved. No need for that template monstrosity suggested at the end.

You can trust the price and not get shaken down, I had to take a local small town taxi the other day and they charged me $20 for a very short ride with no meter.

I needed a ride from queens to NJ and many cab companies simply hung up on me.

I dislike uber the company but cabs were worse, for me.
In Norway, Uber is barely present here. The established taxi companies do a very good job with none of those problems (but like everything here, they are pricey.) I think it really depends where you are.
Why are there so many colourful houses in Bristol?
I'm in Quebec, and here we have a very modern grid. Much of that is to how well Hydro Quebec is run, providing some of the cheapest power to its citizens in all of North America, whist making billions in profit for the state.

Much of this profit comes from selling massive amounts of power the US Eastern states, which is why its long haul transmission lines are modern, high frequency, low power loss.

Some of that power comes from as far north as Hudson's Bay!

The other reason so much of the grid is modern, is from the ice storm at the turn of rhe century, which destroyed an incredible amount of the distribution network. Hydro Quebec took the rebuild as an opportunity, and modernized everything.

Point is, even with all of that, there is the need for more, more, more, as well as last mile stuff. Nimbyism isn't as big of a thing here, but it still exists.

Hydro Quebec is very green, and is building a variety of trial h2 infra. Generating H2 at the power source, and using pipes to send it through that massive network of local gasline distribution, does allow for distribution without the same power loss as sending power 2500km.

Even with high efficiency power lines, that's a long haul.

But the thing is, there should not be one solution! Frankly, long haul batteries should be prohibited in cars, we should have different solutions for different situations!

How inefficient is it to carry around 2000lb or more of batteries from long distance, when most people only need short runs?

Conversely for taxis, buses, and people who need range, h2 provides that without all that weight and battery waste.

And even better, short range battery cars are charged at home, or at office more often, and at lower power draws. Thus, having h2 and batteries means dual generation, and end point distribution methods.

We can scale with existing infra more easily.

Current ICE cars have propane, diesel, and gas. Why must there be "the true path!"? With more research, we may find h2 to be more efficient than batteries, and without all the weight and e-waste of batteries.

And this is why locales should build what infra works best. Not be forced into some cookie cutter solution.
You forgot to multiply it by the 10 m2. And btw maximum size of the truck is almost 10m long so you could probably squeeze in closer to 20m2. So, you would get 20km range from a day of charging. Not earth shattering but better than nothing

Would have liked to see more detail on why projects are so expensive in the UK - there was some detail in the road section (changes from objections leading to more expensive features to placate these complaints), but can't see that for underground projects, for instance...

I know when the Olympics was in Weymouth and Portland, someone knew a contractor who was doing it, and they were able to charge 3x their normal rate as long as it was guaranteed to be on time. They made a fortune. In addition, a local road building project near me (which is on the road between London and Weymouth) was pushed through to provide a better route - despite it being massively expensive and making a terrible long-term mess of what was a bad junction that needed a flyover, not the awful hamburger junction solution that the local area is now saddled with that is always on the traffic reports.

Exactly, it sort of increases the effort and decreases likelihood of reading, so support for authors there is a good thing.

At the same time, the LLM tools will do more than just enhance the language in a narrow way but rather also "streamline" it, which reduces what can be expressed. That probably will lead to a drop in the maximum complexity that can be expressed. We already see that in other areas where language is already down to really simple stuff with all complexity being removed (whether it is there or not.
1. For two views that have a similar layout/content, no animation at all. If you want to preserve the relationship between the views, that is.

2. If you have a good sitemap with canonical URLs, it should not be a problem. Google will indeed report non-indexed pages, but chances are you don't want those indexed in the first place (et: there's no point indexing sorting options for a table).

Not just that, but also the last row is probably 180° rotated. The last 5 entries (labelled as "no nu n'a n'e n'i") do read "na ne ni no nu" (なねにのぬ) after rotation.

The old age problem of having an open project where people don't understand what an alpha is.

You give this out to the world for feedback and people moan its not working.

I am old geek and back in the day you knew an Alpha was just for the playground to kick around - most likely will crash, worse case will destroy you PC but you have a play / provide some feedback and wait for the next release.

A lot of other projects do everything in the dark and do a big ta da at the end - and missed the opportunity for the community of "alpha" or "beta" testers to provide some feedback along the way.

Keep going - its added to my list to take look once in beta as I prefer to play in that playground rather than the alpha one these days.

I like the idea!

> Or is there a way to get better results by fine tuning?

It seems that the general wisdom around LLMs is that you can get very good performance on small models if you fine tune for a specific task. In the case of code generation, I think you might get a good performance by fine tuning it on a specific programming language + codebase or architectural pattern.

The main problem with fine tuning is getting a good dataset, so a cheap alternative would be to put a few examples of what you want to generate in the prompt. Then you would save these prompts as task specific "fine tunes" that you would select when you need to accomplish something.

I have used ion/notion since the first version of ion and my config files have barely changed in 15 years. Maintainer of notion has started a new WM to replace it so notion is going to die soon and the new WM is based on Sway and uses i3/Sway configs which I am not thrilled about. Wonder how long I will be able to hold out with XWayland and notion.

Go programmers usually avoid C bindings if at all possible.

Pure Go can be cross-compiled easily, but that goes out the window once you include C code. You can make it a bit easier by using Zig as your c compiler, but it's still a bit of a pain. If you want to expose your code as a Go package, the situation gets even more complicated.

I'm not following your argument here. Are you saying that rather than getting help from an LLM, future researchers will be forced to use the LLM's output as-is?
And yet, if your article gets rejected when you write it yourself, and gets published when you have AI rewrite it for you to use all the right buzzwords based on previously published articles -- that's a good (financial) reason to use AI for writing.

Here, before the rise of Yandex Taxi (which eventually bought Uber Russia), we used to have several independent "taxi aggregators", you'd call them and they'd tell you your car's license plate and when it would arrive. I don't remember it taking any longer than Yandex Taxi/Uber. Now it's actually worse, since Yandex Taxi has bought the majority of local taxi aggregators, it feels like the quality is worse than before because they're a monopoly and there's no competition.

I think the opposite of unrestrained nepotism is meritocracy, which is surely a good thing.

In the olden days we had few schools that made sure every CS graduate were fizzbuzz experts but back then computers were an expensive rarity that could only be touched by a fizzbuzz expert. Now that everyone and their grandma have a pocket computer that's more powerful than an IBM mainframe, of course the requirements will be different. Not every piece of software is mission critical, not everything has to be perfect. Crappy software is better than no software.

The Long Road: get back to the root cause, analyze the panic attack systematically. Include your psycho-social environment from childhood and youth. Your subconscious mind needs to understand the issue deeply before it can debug and or rewire itself.

I had paralyzing anxiety in personal situations for almost 20 years, turned into a crippled shadow of myself every freaking time. No issues in school/university/business/work presentation, though. It took me a few years in isolation and two years on modafinil and learning to code (only intermediate, pre-production-ready-level but it was CRUCIAL) to analyze and fix the issue as well as 8 sessions with a shrink and two nights with a psychology student (friend of my bro, lots of booze, diazepam, the only sex I had in too many years, I underperformed for the last time in my life since) to fill a few gaps.

Techniques will only run concurrently to whatever causes the anxiety and panic. Get to the network of roots that cause the problem and understand the psychology on a proper level, including it's neuro-chemical consequences on a rather SUPERFICIAL level.

I was a complete noob when I took the long road, which is why it took me so damn long. You'll do it in under 200 hours, resulting in fixing your issue and a lot of added value.
I used to use a network Emulator+Physics/Traffic Simulator called NCTUns to research vehicle networking back in 2010.

I remember it was pretty cool. If I recall correctly, I could run several instances of all kinds of networking gear, configure wireless interfaces, place physical barriers, roads, etc... then I could see how packets and routing tables would behave while the emulated instances of routers/switches/APs moved around the physical world.

Pausing the would, clicking on a little car, and serialing into a particular router that was running Cisco IOS was always pretty mind blowing to me though.

They had all kinds of custom protocols that could route network traffic depending on which direction the traffic was flowing: you didn't want packets to get stuck in loops, hopping back and forth between oncoming traffic. Especially in sparse environments.

I don't know what happened to it, it looks like it got spun off into a commercial company:
