While in general you are right, I'd strongly say "it depends".

The raw BEAM ecosystem (things that come ootb) is huge in itself, many things that would require additional machinery/libs/infra/... in other tech stacks are simply covered right away with stuff like OTP.

The machine-learning ecosystem is kinda thriving, not fully at python levels yet but catching up rapidly and already outshining most other tech stacks - especially factoring in again the BEAM underpinnings that allow stuff like https://elixir-broadway.org/ for data pipelines (which requires a lot of additional python machinery to even replicate), and I'd argue that iE LiveBook already is a much better story than Jupyter notebooks.

The web framework story is already excellent, as you mentioned with Phoenix/Ecto/Liveview/Oban/... which are kinda best-of-breed in the industry right now. Not only for the first few days into a project (lots of tech stacks are compelling here for one reason or another), but the scaling up capabilities are flat out amazing, you can get _so much_ mileage out of the stack before even looking into anything like k8s or whatever and can focus on iteration features instead of spending time in optimizations/infra/... even when traffic peaks occur.

What may be missing are some adjacent libs or QoL in many smaller places. But its getting better for a while... we now have a great storybook reimplementation that doesn't suck ass with nodejs ecosystem craziness/provisioning/slowness like the real storybook. We have usable solutions for i18n or auth that may not be fancy but do the job. And since being Elixir, many missing things are just a few macros away if you need it. Especially the last 2 years have been quite a ride, and I was a phoenix user since probably 1.2 years back, but recently things are stepping up.

Right now I am eagerly waiting for BeaconCMS to mature enough, thats an absolute pain point to get solved since nearly every web platform at some point needs some CMS style free-style pages and right now I have to always implement an integration to some external system... can't wait to have this as a lib mounted in my app like everything else. Oh, and types of course, one of the few points that keep people from trying elixir and I (coming from Rust, Go, Typescript) learned to love. But it looks like we're getting there.
This is the extremely frustrating part of not being able to roll back firmware updates in modern devices.

My dad is 78. He knows how to use his tv and cable box. It gets a firmware update that adds some feature that is pointless to him (lets say HDR, he doesn’t give a shit) but refreshes the UI.

I feel like 10-20 years ago I could just download the old firmware onto a usb and install it over the new one for stuff like this. That concept is just unheard of now. I sort of get why from a security perspective but if that has to be the case then keep your shitty UI/UX consistent at least. Or find a secure way to allow downgrades. That’s not my expertise at all but I’m sure it can be done

Since I edited my comment, see my additional remarks regarding runtime capabilities, and the counterpoint of big Go binaries.

Also note that triming only works properly if the libraries have taken the effort to be trimmable, as the linker errs on the safe side and won't trim unless certain that it is really dead code, and not called via reflection.
Not to mention it does not even have a reusable booster (yet) and unfortunately there seem to be still some reliability issues as well.

The problem with any argument over capitalism is that it is responsible for both good and bad.

On the one hand all the innovation and cheap prices are a result of capitalism driven competition.

On the other hand, all the deceptive marketing, addictive vacuous features, vendor lock-in, planned obsolescence and enshitification are also a result of capitalism, which only cares about maximizing profits and return on capital.

That's a pretty neat way to put it. Apps don't get stuff done - people do.

That being said, we're all on here to try and think outside the box. Do you reckon that there could be a platform with capabilities that does genuinely enhance your productivity in a habit-forming kind of way?

All those apps you mentioned are great at helping you thinking about doing the thing, but not doing the thing.
> Myth. By nature of the routes they serve, trains and metro systems tend to be used disproportionately by office workers with above-average incomes.

Even if this was all there was to public transit, if you shifted all of the train and metro use onto the roads - even in buses - in a city like London it'd mean traffic would grind to a total halt.

Those who don't use these systems still benefit from how they shift demand away from the roads.

> Buses do tend to be used by people on below-average incomes, tend to deliver disproportionate social benefits and are richly deserving of subsidy.

So in other words public transit is a universal benefit. Transit includes buses.

You've delivered a good argument for considering which types of transit we subsidise at what level, not against the notion that public transit is a universal benefit.

At the same time I think you're also missing something: In London at least, a not insignificant reason why the bus is used more by lower paid people is not down to routes but cost. That may not account for all of the difference, but even with the hub and spoke nature of London transport that does favour those with higher paid jobs in the centre, a large portion of routes between places not ideally placed for it will still be faster by train.

As such, the problem often isn't subsidies for trains and the underground, but that the subsidies are too low to make these services financially viable for lower paid people.

E.g. I live in zone 5. I know people who commute by bus from here to zone 1 because a monthly travelcard costs 267.30 for zones 1-5, while a monthly bus and tram pass costs 94.90.

The effect is often a significant "time tax" on poorer people. One woman I know used to spend two hours each way on a commute that'd take her via zone 1 on the train but only take one hour each way because she couldn't afford the travel card. There are many people in that position.

So by all means subsidise buses more, but that is not a reason to not consider that higher subsidies of trains and metro systems would also significantly benefit poorer people.
this is super cool! I wish there was an easy to understand and follow guide on how to make your own embedding, for llama2 for example. All I can find are various guides that already assume you know everything there is to training an embedding.

I just want to make an embedding between a conversation of me and my friend and simulate talking to them. Is this a hard thing to train to begin with?

If anyone knows or could help me with this, I would be very grateful!
I use Rust a lot, and have been really keen on getting into Zig.

Not sure if much has changed (it was a while back), but my biggest problem was with finding and using 3rd party libraries (mostly for the boring stuff like DB connectivity, JSON/YAML parsing, logging, etc.).

E.g. even now if I search for "zig mysql library", the tops hits are all about people discussing it on reddit, than any actual library.

Is there something like this on opnsense?
Slightly... The difference in type erasure is pretty huge IMHO.

No not necessarily! I just haven’t written type import support yet; though you’re welcome to help.

And no — type safety is applied at the HTTP interface. API consumers need no special library to get all the benefits.

I think what you mean is that it has only taken you this long to find out that windows has package managers.

Winget is 3 years old. It rips off AppGet, which was quite a bit older. Chocolatey is a decade old. Scoop is about 4.

But a package manager on windows is more a convenience than a necessity, because it has SxS to resolve dependency hell. AFAIK, no other OS has that feature, which is why package maintenance is such a task for Linux distros and builders of old source code.

Well, it's not quite 1:1, but the difference is only about one order of magnitude...the average military spending seems to be about 6-7% of federal budget, and the average federal income tax rate seems to be about 25%, so about 1.5-1.8% of taxable income worldwide is going to defense. I am hugely back-of-enveloping of course, but it IS also apparently the case that military spending is about 2.2% of GDP on average. So, again, only about one order of magnitude by a second measure.

We might say this suggests that our bodies are about an order of magnitude more efficient and/or civilized than our societies, which seems conservative if anything, no?

Seriously, we're living in a comedy TV show simulation.

"ad density".
The normal terminology for the sides of a car are 'nearside' and 'offside', with the nearside being where the kerb is, offside being where other cars would be.

So I would suppose 'inside' and 'outside' were also considered relative to the kerb.
I usually set such clocks to some random time that's so off you would never mistake it for the real thing.
I would say where it is beneficial to use thr ChatGPT UI is with the Data Analysis mode, where it has access to a code environment. You upload a few files, ask it for implementation and it will happily crunch through the processes, validate itself via the REPL and offer you the finished files as downloads. It's pretty neat.

It is widely better recieved in the AAA gaming developer community than Java, and that is what matters.

I also like Java, but c'mon no decent algorithms being implemented in C#? That is already approaching zealotry.
Well, I see it as lack of fanboyism which is interesting and almost unique to the Java/C# ecosystem. A lot C# experts(and I mean REAL, low level experts) seem to also have very high Java expertise..

And those that have Java expertise but not C# seem to demur to those that do; image!

But it's still niche(around here and in the startup world) and gets lumped in with Java and together they are not "hip" or "agile" or whatever.

I grew up in a touristy part of New Jersey near the beach and roundabouts were interesting. In the off season they were a fine and normal part of driving that the local population were generally used to. Occasionally you’d have a new driver or out of town person that would be confused but that was somewhat rare.

Then the summer months would come and the circles would be a nightmare, filled with dipshits from the surrounding states that had no idea of how they worked despite the fact that the majority of them were single lane! You would really dread the double lane ones though as they would be filled with people who would have no idea how to proceed. You would often see people go around several times before they’d finally exit when there was a lull in traffic

Got any tips for the migration? I've been meaning to do it for a while, but I really need to limit down time or my wife and kids will bury me; preferably need to do it over an evening while they're all asleep.

I only have the one piece of hardware so I need a record of the configs somehow to refer to as I do the migration. Perhaps also some sort of backup so I can restore it in a pinch if I can't get OPNSense set up quick enough.
I skimmed trough book, looks like exhaustive resource, thanks !
It's not a big problem to be in the wrong lane. You just change lanes like any other road. And like any other road, when you change lanes, it's your responsibility to make sure the lane you're merging into has space for you.
This is a US/NA focused comment. Ford makes sedans in EU and other markets. They also make sedans for the US market in China and other manufacturing locations.

So it's true that Ford US manufacturing have exited sedan production, Ford itself continues to build and sell sedans.
> It has perfomant memory options that other GC languages lack, and great builtin packages to use.

As clarification for the audience, it isn't the only GC enabled language with C and C++ like capabilities, in fact there are several examples since the early 1980's.

The adoption push for Java and scripting languages distorced the understanding of what was already available out there.

This type of false equivalence and extreme hyperbole is why it polarizes people. The preferred terms of the conversation are so insane as to invite that specific outcome.

> “In the UK you’re expected to filter to the outside leave.”

In practice, large multi-lane roundabouts in the UK usually have lane markings as you enter, with specific lanes for each exit. In general, so long as you were in the correct lane as you entered the roundabout, the lane markings should guide you to the correct exit and you shouldn’t have to do any filtering.
I generally dislike these "turbo roundabouts" the first time I encounter them. Always a second of confusion the first time, which is definitely not something I want to feel while driving.

That said, if I enter one I am already familiar with I'm perfectly fine. I guess it depends on who you are optimizing for.

Note that in Java it is merely a convention to use domain names as packages. There is no technical requirement to do so. So moving to a different domain has no impact whatsoever on dependency resolution. Many people use non-existent domain names.

To be honest I really like how Java advocated for verbose namespaces. Library authors have this awful idea that their library is a special little snowflake that deserves the shortest name possible, like "http" or "math" (or "_"...).
By "made sure they see me" I mean they're clearly stopping for me.

Come on, you are arguing in such bad faith its ridiculous. Everyone knows space based telescopes are orders of magnitude better, and will be better for research than thousands of earth based telescopes.

Even the researches, unless very selfish, should know that ideally you want many more very powerful space based telescopes if you actually want to do research and not just marvel at the stars from your patio.

We obviously want larger launch capacity in the long run. It's not even a question. Falcon 9 is already the most successful rocket ever on almost all stats of usefulness, why shouldn't we have at least SOME faith that spacex will be able to build starship and use it?
I'd dare to say that I have a decent experience with server-side swift using vapor at this point, shipping few production apps. I'd historically always use Xcode, but decided to try to give using Visual Studio Code with that swift extension a shot.

It's been fine, but not an order of magnitude better than using Xcode. Having copilot is nice, but the auto completion is somehow worse than Xcode from my experience so far. And the list goes on, some things are better in vscode, some in Xcode. I might eventually switch back to just using Xcode.

For everyone else looking to consolidate a settop box and tv to a no bullshit remote highly recommend

https://www.oneforall.com/universal-remotes/urc-6820-zapper#...

Gone are all the superfluous netflix or change input buttons that make your parents stuck and generate support calls.

You configure the remote for tv and when thats done you (optionaly) configure it for the settop box. At that point only the dedicated TV power button goes to tv all other keys go directly to the settop box and theres very few of them with comfortable size and best rubber quality i've seen in a remote ever.

The settopbox/tv compatibility list is not published online but spans decades and i had no problem setting up a noname one that wasn't even on the list.
1. it sounds like his aunt has a very complicated setup already, he simplified the setup.

2. 20 years younger than 94 might have significantly less medical issues - to quote the article "The problem was that she has difficulty walking, and when she is sitting in her lazy boy chair, it’s tough to get up and walk to the phone to see who is calling. She gets a lot of spam calls. She also plays the TV loud and may not hear the phone ring."
etc. etc.
This is important for me too. From my searching, they have "GeoIP aliases" which is supposed to be their alternative to PfBlocker-NG; I have no idea if/how it functions as I haven't made the mode yet, but this is a deal breaker if it doesn't work the way I need.

Put another way:

"When the autocomplete system ingests the play-by-play of an idiomatic game that arrives at a particular board position, it appends the suffix A"

"When the autocomplete system ingests the play-by-play of a seemingly random game (seriously, look at the PGN generator output), it appends a (questionable) suffix B"

Considering LLMs are just "finishing the string" this seems tautological. An interesting study, but not particularly surprising (at least from my perspective).

Further, I have a strong suspicion that this is sensitive to how "in theory" or "out of theory" the move-list is (not the position) since there is presumably a LOT of PGN training data for known lines.
Thats sounds sweet. I suppose its just for when you really love lambdas (I don't)?
