> and the legend means we can't forget

I am not sure what "the legend" is supposed to mean, but at least nano has the keyboard shortcuts displayed at the bottom so you can't forget those.

Edit: Ahh yes, the other kind of legend. I was expecting some lore from the old days. I'm going to try some more coffee, but I suspect it won't help. Probably unsafe to drink it laughing at myself anyway.
nice article, thanks
I have gfiber in Austin and it's fantastic, and if I really wanted to I could still get ATT fiber or spectrum cable.

Another option would be to float the craft on a denser fluid, which means the lifting gas could be lighter. For example, most of the Earth is covered in salt water, perhaps we could design some sort of “water ship.”
At least so far most streaming subscriptions are easy to cancel, so you can rotate through the different services depending on what you want to watch. Only a matter of time until services try to prevent that by locking you into yearly or longer contracts.
I'm open minded but ...

Comparing the atrocious search landscape of 2023 to personal indexing is to compare poorly.

Instead: those who lived through it should compare personal indexing to the golden years of altavista(.digital.com) and the extremely powerful and unpolluted results it produced and modified with boolean operators.

I never once thought that there was some utility left to be mined from the Yahoo approach to things once I switched to Altavista. I think we're only pining for personal indexing in comparison to the garbage that is Google in 2023.

Only thanks to Init7 for taking them to court. That is one of many reasons I use them as my ISP.

Thanks to the ruling Init7 can provide 25gbit today to existing and new p2p connections. All p2mp will be converted in the few years to p2p as well. Init7 has said they are looking into 100gbit as those BiDi modules have become available and the cost has also come down.
Are there any numbers available for this? I am skeptical for two reasons:

(1) Torrenting is a hassle compared to the streaming services.

(2) Millenials are the only generation tech savvy enough to do that en masse and honestly who has the time?

Even if you could build it so that it is positively buoyant you're only saving a 1-2 grams per liter of helium you replace with vacuum. He and H are extremely good at being light filler gasses.
There are mixed pedestrian/vehicle underpasses for the Yamanote train tracks in Tokyo as well, though a bit taller (1.5m).

My understanding is that when the tracks were originally put in they were near the edge of the bay so there were still boats. However, as Tokyo expanded and the land filled in the boat tunnels were filled as well and became pedestrian and vehicle underpasses.

The point is: It gets updates because people are being paid sufficiently to provide updates. There is incentive given to see them get done.

There is no incentive for Apple to provide longer term support because nobody is ponying up the money to see that support happen. People cheap out and are only willing to pay for short term support – probably because they know that they can afford to buy a whole new, better phone (most likely for less than longer term support would cost!) again in a few years, so they don't care to brunt the cost of longer term support.

NASA knows they can't afford to buy a new Voyager every 5 years – no amount of money can place a new one to replace what is out there that far out in space – so they are buying long term support instead.

Your point only stands if NASA paid Apple enough to see them agree to update an iPhone for decades or more. Simply buying a $1,000 iPhone off the shelf and sticking it into a Voyager probe would not make Apple care or change their updating tune. And if that is your point, what is the point? You would be just restating what was originally said, which seems rather pointless.
Headlines like this are to keep the masses who are far far below the $1M mark pushing hard to finally* make it.

> but it's still considered a middle-class income in the more expensive parts of the country.

Middle class is explicitly not about passive income. If you are living off "safe withdrawal rate", you are wealthy, almost tautologically.

In extreme versions (e.g. some of the FIRE folks) you may be living some version of a "middle class lifestyle", but that's not the same thing. It fundamentally changes the options and opportunities you have.
In practice, cloudflare or AWS down means half the internet doesn't work at all. The half that works - routing around problematic networks - isn't very helpful when the problematic networks are the useful ones.
It would be nice if my landlord derived value from doing the socially useful service of providing housing outside of any external validations like the rent I pay him.
At first pass, I'm impressed with the multi region/tenant built-in support. I take it that changing a region is as changing the table row key. I wonder though about this strategy strictly place user's data as an entry into the data store... what if my users travel a lot between regions? Is the best strategy that upon user login to update their region in all their related tables?
I think you've slightly misread - they specified only forms can do POSTs, not that forms can do only POSTs. (Also, they're talking about vanilla HTML, not HTMX).
Connecting an IDE to code managed within WSL is certainly more complicated. I've also had my IDE freeze pretty regularly because of a three-way fight between WSL, my IDE, and corporate scans.

This looks like an interesting take on serverless Postgres! Is this type of multi tenant separation enough for the kinds of users who care about it? I’d imagine a lot of the concerns around multi-tenant would be related to potential application layer bugs that can co-mingle data.
I'm sure they don't see any value in maintaining a browser. The attitude nowadays seems to be that good software is simply a means to deliver ads and paid up-sells while sucking up as much personal information as possible.

Why bother building something when you can just slap some lipstick on an existing pig and get to the same level of user exploitation with far less effort?
Something most of the think pieces, and interviews with Michael Lewis, discount is just how geeked out on amphetamines this guy was.

A lot of that is using an LLM for prompt expansion and composition guidance, both of which can be done with SD just by looping in an LLM for those purposes, though there isn’t support in any of the popular UIs for LLM composition assiatance (there are recent papers denonstrating it, though, so I wouldn't be surprised to see extensions for popular UIs within a month.)

EDIT: corrected to clarify that only composition assistance isn’t yet supported in popular UIs, because prompt expansion is built in to Fooocus.
const EditableList = ui.component({
render: ({ props }) => {
return `
<ul>
${each(Object.keys(props).filter((p) => p.startsWith('list-item-')), (p) =>
`<li>${props[p]}</li>`
)}
</ul>
`;
},
});

// Usage:
${component(EditableList, {
['list-item-0']: 'First item on the list',
['list-item-1']: 'Second item on the list',
['list-item-2']: 'Third item on the list',
['list-item-3']: 'Fourth item on the list',
['list-item-4']: 'Fifth item on the list',
})}

edit: used each(), which doesn't change the point that you can make a bad component API in any framework.
No, consumer cloud subscriptions don't tend to decrease in price. Instead, they add capacity over time at the same price point.

E.g. in 2017 Apple changed its $9.99/mo plan from 1 TB to 2 TB.

And by the way it's still at that $9.99 price. It hasn't gone up, at least not in the US. Compared with inflation, it actually has gotten cheaper in real terms.

Definitely agree with that list! The new Lessons in Chemistry is also really solid! Severance was also noteworthy although a bit slow going. Shrinking was really good. Physical, and the one about Bezo’s ex-wife becoming her own person and running her foundation was pretty funny… overall I think Apple is doing their best to target a certain demographic and I for one appreciate it. They have spent more on writing than other services, it would seem.
Who’s to say the donations last year weren’t $100,000 putting the estimated profits at $1.2m

To answer the rhetorical question: I can tell you that. I wish, though. ;-)

Reality is somewhere between those two hypotheticals. The past few years, my now-2.5-year-old has been taking a lot of my attention and I haven't really been focused on Tarsnap's growth.

As far as I remember, I only see "Install the Gmail app!" nudges when I'm using Gmail web. Same for Yahoo mail and other "free" services.

Searching in Chrome for "Microsoft Edge download" results in no nudges to keep using Chrome (on my MBP). Same for Safari - no nudges to keep using it when I search "Firefox download" or "Chrome download".

So, MS is using their dominance in the desktop OS market to drive use of their browser. And then adding friction (via nudges and surveys) to retain that browser marketshare.
Has anyone actually used embeddings for anything other than Approximate Nearest Neighbor and clustering?

Some speculative possibilities that come to mind:

- projection, indexing and sorting on arbitrary axes (eg "hot minus cold", "happy minus sad", "scifi minus realism", "literary minus commercial")

- SVM-style classification in Embeddings space

- word2vec-style reasoning (woman-man+king=queen)

- directly training embeddings (ie, not just taking a layer off an LLM); I know people use contrastive training methods, but I'd expect that other methods might be worth exploring, eg you could train embeddings together with neural nets representing functions, generate functional equations, and calculate MSE loss

But really, I'm just surprised that it seems to be so focused on semantic search, to the exclusion of anything else... Surely there are other interesting applications?
This is a perfectly good explanation of how capitalism works, especially if you operate your company by the numbers, but we don't have to accept that as the way things are. We already have social policies to protect workers from exploitation even if they themselves do not consider it exploitation, those policies need to be strengthened.

At the very least we should mandate that overtime is compensated to a degree that represents the cost to society of burnt out workers who require healthcare or exit the labor force entirely.
Just because the serfs weren't working the fields in winter, doesn't mean they weren't working. They were putting in the other couple of thousand of hours of labour that were needed to keep a household running - most of which was spent on making clothes.

Life prior to the industrial revolution sucked. It took a lot of backbreaking labour to produce basic necessities of life.
Man, I'm really feeling the enshitification of the internet right now. Those early to mid years were great.

I remember reading that a primary force in this, that's often overlooked, is the payment processors having incentive to raise the overall average transaction price so their cut is larger. That's why it's become so pervasive in the software. It's not necessarily businesses looking for a larger portion of employee compensation to come from tips.

By default Greasemonkey can access all data on all pages. With extensions being routinely compromised to steal crypto that’s starting to look like a bad deal. (If you limit it to a single domain in Chrome it will nag you to unlock it on Chrome startup forever)
This is rebar. It's just as easy to saw/grind through rebar as it is exhaust piping.

I could point out how it's way, way easier in java programs, since we're picking on java, to skip over doing things like this. Or I could point out how the bar to do things correctly is lower in this hcl example than the equivalent java. Or I could point out how the things I named as best practices can look in the real world, which seems to be the best course of discussion since unfamiliarity seems to be an issue here:

You have a type defined, it's just string. There's no default, which means it's a required input. Required inputs obviously can't have a default. Arbitrary strings are a perfectly acceptable input and without seeing how that variable is actually used, I can't speculate about validation criteria and it is very reasonable that for arbitrary strings there are none.
great point!

If they travel a lot, you may want the data in one location (although it still depends, moving data is often faster than flying to a different region).

Tenant placement is especially great if their location has data residency requirements. We discovered that companies with many EU customers need this.
>One favorable sign for Toyota: Its head of sales in North America said recently the market for hybrids is “smoking hot” and the company is trying to make as many of the vehicles as possible. Last month, Toyota had a little more than a week’s worth of Prius hybrids in stock, compared with more than two months’ supply of its electric SUV, the bZ4X.
“I have continued to say what I see as reality,” said Toyoda. Someone needs to convey to the industry what will make car buyers most happy, he said, and “if regulations are created based on ideals, it is regular users who are the ones who suffer.”

Whats the impact if the entire internet is down for a couple of hours?

What if its more than a few hours because theres a natural monopoly and a dearth of capable people to run systems independently - thus no strong external incentive for rapid response outside of punitive SLAs?

How much soft power do you think such an entity would have on the world stage.
Why would you assume that anyone looking at being a neurosurgeon is going to get crap pay at an unknown hospital and never accomplish anything?

Even if they did have a terrible career as a surgeon, they'll still make $500K/year, which is far better than what these positions offer.
> Debugging is methodical. Always have clear in your mind what question you are trying to answer, and what your plan is for investigating that question.

This is really excellent advice. I often try and debug in terms of the whole system. Explicitly having a hypothesis and then trying to verify or invalidate it with experimentation is a much better framing.
I think for the public, might be better if we stopped incorporating ESG in gnereal.
Agreed on all points. I’ve been using Vapor for a small work project for a couple of years and overall it’s been a good experience.

I think a lot of the author’s problems started when he bailed on Vapor and went down into the depths of SwiftNIO. I’m not really sure this was necessary. I could be wrong, but it feels to me like Vapor should let you do pretty much everything that you would need for an ActivityPub server.

Writing request handlers in Vapor with async/await is delightful - it’s really not any harder than writing Flask code. But going down below that level is pain. Lots and lots of pain.

There have been a few attempts at a crowdsourced-rank search engine (which is similar to what you're suggesting - people indexing the content), but it seems to be a hard cookie, most of the examples of similar ideas I could find on ProductHunt or ShowHN seem dead:

https://payperrun.com/%3E/search?displayParams={%22q%22:%22c...

(btw, I just launched this llm-embedding based search service that lets you check if a startup idea has already been tried/failed).

I don't know if this idea has a higher death rate than the baseline, but my guess is Google/PageRank is good enough for most use-cases, and then if you want quality sources, you can just follow them on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Wait, maybe I shouldn't try to compete with Google?
It's not a plane though. Will be curious to see how the new one looks.
