>> Do you know what the difference is between reality and a conspiracy theory is?

> Evidence is the difference.

Evidence is obviously not the difference between reality and a conspiracy theory. Were that the case, it would be impossible for a conspiracy theory to be correct.

Evidence isn't even the difference between admitting that a conspiracy happened and not making that admission, but that's the best case.
Immersive sims have always been something of a niche genre, because they tend to have a negative difficulty curve: the player is very weak and lacks powers at the start, but becomes more resilient and more capable as the game goes on, often at a much sharper curve the game's difficulty. The result is that new players tend to be turned off and give up relatively quickly.

Dear people of the US. You already have free speech, you don't need to learn it from a university.

You need the unis to learn some advanced skills and do some networking. As an asside, you guys are paying way too much for universities (but that's unrelated to free speech).
Rather than generic blobs, you can easily integrate versioning directly in your entity tables with only two extra fields:

Didn't you say with quarto you had to debug a 5 layer pipeline? I wonder if it's not biasing you here a bit...(stuck fighting "arcane" latex syntax somewhere at 3 in the morning).

I'm not saying you should love TeX, but it's a bit like saying you hate assembly language - if you have the wrong abstractions (writing a 3D game or a web page using assembly language) of course the experience will be beyond frustrating. I don't hate assembly language, but I generally don't need to touch it because higher order abstractions generally suffice. If I am optimizing my compiler output, though, then it's a tool I can use.

Ofc if I have the wrong or missing tools while using assembly language, or any other TBH (python, html, etc), that is also a source of considerable frustration. Not sure where the "hatred" comes from, but perhaps you encountered a poorly done package or editor?

Summarize Long YouTube Videos with LLMs
Introducing our Video Summarization API — a game-changing tool that leverages advanced language models to summarize any YouTube video, no matter the length. Similar in technology to OpenAI's ChatGPT, our API distills key points and themes from videos, offering a quick way to grasp content without watching it in entirety. Ideal for content creators, researchers, and anyone who wants to consume video content more efficiently.

Can be easily integrated into Apple Shortcuts to summarize YouTube videos on the go (will publish an example soon).

Currently in beta, feel free to leave comments and feedback so I can improve the API.
I figure it's because they're trying to sound corporate, because that's just how people imagine "official" communications have to sound. Clear, simple writing would be too casual!

It's possible to write corporate communications in a straightforward and effective style, but it requires a level of writing skill and a level of confidence that employees might not have, especially when the writing has to go through several levels of internal review by managers and subject to internal politics. The result is writing by committee that intentionally avoids even the semblance of personal voice.
seconded. Primocache is wonderful, and doesn't suffer from the glaring issue using the powershell hack of Windows Storage Spaces [1]. You can set this up, with proper powershell scripts/commands, but Xbox games won't install to a Storage Space. It boggled my mind when I finally tracked this down.

Primo Cache [2] has one disadvantage over storage spaces - the SSD cache space is dedicated as Cache, and does not add to the total space of the drive. 1TB SSD + 4TB hdd = 4TB available, vs storage spaces which will give you 5TB. This minor (to me) downside is outweighed by the fact it works for everything. It shows up as a normal drive, not a virtual disk, and it just works. I recommend it highly for anyone who has limited SSD space.

Looking at other replies here, I can see I wasn't the only one who didn't realize there is Lua and Luau. Luau is an extension of Lua: https://luau-lang.org/

> once you get used to servicing hydraulic

In my experience with over 40,000km on Shimano hydraulics, the only servicing is swapping pads when the pad wear spring starts screeching against the rotor.

My early 2000 era Magura hyrdros were a bit shit and required a lot of maintenance and issues with sticking callipers, but shimanos made in the last 15 years are pretty much perfected and maintenance free.
That is Lua, not Luau. I noted the distinction in an earlier comment since I see I wasn't the only one here who wasn't aware.
Lots of people who have never held a clearance don't seem to understand why state secrets exist, and why they're often a deadly serious matter. If intelligence sources and methods get revealed, that can sometimes result in someone ending up in the basement of a prison in some tinpot dictatorship with a pistol round in the back of their head. Or otherwise being literally taken out back and shot.

Some people's only frame of reference is that there's nothing "secret" that's of more import than that spreadsheet Katie from HR left out on her desk, and now OMG, everyone knows what everyone else makes, the horror . . .

For what it’s worth, I think you were very clear on the cop being in the wrong. I just disagree that the kid’s fairly mild attitude was in any way out of line or inadvisable, especially given how polite he was for so long. I think it was very obvious the cop was pushing a BS narrative from the beginning and I certainly would have had a hard time holding my tongue about it. When you haven’t been anywhere near alcohol and are stone cold sober and a cop claims your eyes are bloodshot and watery and you’re slurring your speech and, most egregiously, that they can smell alcohol on your breath, you know you are getting railroaded.

What tax break? I think you just quoted the capital gains tax rates[1]. That's a tax, not a tax break. Those rates apply to all capital gains, not just houses. They're basically the same every year. The numbers increase each year for inflation.

There actually is a tax break, the paragraph after what you quoted. But I don't think that's new or ending soon. So that's also not something that would trigger people to sell now rather than in a year from now.

This was the infamous Skylab 4:

Instead, after some discussion, they tossed the barf bag through the trash airlock—having decided, as David Shayler writes in Skylab: America’s Space Station, that “if the medics knew that the crew was vomiting, their influence over the rest of the the flight could be quite serious.” After a night of sleep, Pogue felt better.

All three forgot that a tape recorder had been running the whole time. The next morning, when Mission Control read the transcripts—which included the discussion in which the crew decided to lie to them—they were angry. “The crew was reprimanded—the first time astronauts had ever been publicly reproved during a flight,” wrote Henry S.F. Cooper in an article for the New Yorker. “The incident and the reprimand doubtless affected much that happened later.”

so my success criteria in ProSerbe and metrics were simple - stay 80% billable, keep the customer happy and make sure my projects were done on time, on budget and met requirements.

No matter how hard my manager tries, they couldn’t get me on those metrics. Mind you that my manager is not involved in my day to day work. I worked witg project managers and other consultants.

My previous manager had left and my new manager went hard on me from day one. I had ever had any previous interaction with them. They couldn’t even find anyone to give me bad feedback internally or the customers during the focus periods.

The only thing the manager could do was try to keep adding more work on me until I refused or failed.
Yeah, I agree. There is exactly one non-LLM entity in existence that can reason this generally and this well in human languages, and that's us, human beings. We built LLMs by taking inspiration from the human brain and trying to approximate it with neural networks that were often able to achieve intelligent-ish performance on tasks in narrow domains, and eventually we stumbled on an architecture that is truly general, even if it's generally dumb. It would be an absurd coincidence to me if that architecture, LLMs, actually had nothing in common with how humans think. None of that means it is the best architecture for thinking like humans, or that we just need to scale it up to get to super-intelligence, or that it is currently as smart as a human being. But it just doesn't seem plausible that it behaves so much like a human mind if there's really nothing in common underneath.
Does it need it to do its job?
At the end of the day, no matter what kind of code you are writing, you either have tools and processes in place that reduce the risk/mitigate the impacts of bugs, or there is always the risk of serious problems being introduced. An unknowing change that breaks parallelism in another component could just as well be an unknowing change that breaks authentication or defeats a security boundary.

Parallelism introduces an additional class of bugs, but they are fundamentally addressed the same way as any other class of bugs - e.g. testing, tools, and code review. If some_one_ can unknowingly break a system, that means the tools and processes weren't good enough.
Maybe a rhetorical question but I think there are a few answers. One is that some people think that's what professional sounds like, this sort of dated, verbose corporate "believe us, we're big and competent" messaging strategy.

I think it just lands as inauthentic and cold to modern audiences.

But it's been a popular strategy for generations, and people tend to market/message the way they've been marketed to.

Definitely notable that Dropbox doesn't seem to be thinking about brand strategy when writing these sorts of releases.

They successfully built their core product and got it to the point where it only had long-tail improvements and maintenance left to do, but even if it didn’t have the complication of being VC funded you can’t really lay off half the company and declare yourself in maintenance mode once you’ve scaled up.
> Disc brakes are high maintenance: oil (leaks and water content), pads, and springs.

Wow your rim brakes don't use pads?

I've found disc brakes to be so much less hassle than rim brakes - you just remove the retaining pin, spread the pads, take out old pads, drop in new pads, re-insert retaining pin, pump the lever a few times, done.

All in all its a few minute job and less time consuming than swapping rim pads and adjusting toe in. Riding in wet conditions with sintered disc pads results in less frequent pad change than with rim brakes.

And its certainly much less time consuming than re-lacing a wheel like I used to do once the rim was worn through from rim brakes.

Yes, that's one of the benefits of disc brakes, the "better modulation" you hear about equates to finer control and not locking up the brakes.

Nope, for the same exact reason. Select * makes the most sense because * is in the context of my data, not something I'm working into it. Pretty sure it's the same speed.

It's the exact opposite; TypeScript discourages complex interfaces by making them explicit. It's far too easy in a dynamic language for devs to introduce absurdly complex interfaces without understanding the cognitive load it's imposing on other users. In TypeScript, they're forced to type it...which immediately reveals that complexity - if they're able to do it all!

This isn't theoretical; the only reason TypeScript allows for such complex interfaces is precisely because JavaScript devs have created those interfaces, and TypeScript makes a best-effort to make as much JS code type-able as possible.
