That’s a weird usage of the term “stable”. Is the latest rustc release unstable? Are there bugs in nodejs? It’s been years since a nodejs bug affected me.

If anything you usually have fewer problems with newer toolchains, because new features get used by your dependencies. The version of rustc or nodejs that Debian considers “stable” won’t be able to run a lot of software that I want to run.

And despite the name, “unstable” Debian is still usually 6 months behind the latest version of most packages. That’s an eternity for new things like Zig.
Really great idea. I'll definitely take a closer look. Not sure if it's worth paying extra for additional device compatibility though.

This is a cool project but I strongly disagree with its premise that we would need machines with "more personality".

I don't want that.

I want machines that are predictable; not "intelligent" ones that may do one thing one time and another thing another time, for no discernible reason. I expect machines to be deterministic.
Itanium was being defined around the same time the 1st Alphas came to market. By the time Itanium2 came out, it matched/surpassed the contemporary AXP parts.

FWIW the alpha design teams ended up cannibalized between AMD and Intel. The original Opteron and the first generations of Core i have a ton of AXP DNA in them, from a uarch standpoint. So in a sense, Intel and AMD did continue Alpha... sort of.

However. I feel that Alpha gets over fetishized on the internet sometimes. It was a clean arch, mainly because it was a clean 64bit design from the get go. But as far as uArch, it was pretty generic. Most of the uArch themes the AXP design teams used, which a lot of people think were native inventions to Alpha, came straight from industry/academia research, and plenty of other processors implemented them as well.

I spent a period of time doing that as well. Very glad that I did it. It wasn't even really 'dating'... it was just meeting random strangers with the pretense that it was a date... even though I got to the point where I knew within 30 seconds if I would ever meet that person again. I still enjoyed the conversations I had and helped my fine tune myself, and like you,... lower my anxiety levels.
> whats strange is that plato's account of Atlantis is detialed with specific measurements and descriptions of the layout of the city

Not at all strange . The opposite, that’s exactly what I would expect from an author designing a sci-fi/fantasy/fictional world. If it was based on some old myth one would expect the complete opposite of that (vague and uncertain descriptions)

> Plato didnt have a track record of fabricating tales completel

Do you believe that’s what all people who write fiction do? Fabricate tales?

> especially since he presents atlantis in a matter-of-fact way within dialogues that are otherwise serious philosophical texts.

Yes, many authors did or still do that.
They do it badly. I’ve waited multiple times for other dealerships to find my car or find my keys. One time they lost the keys because the mechanic had taken them home in his pocket.

I’ve had my Tesla looked at twice. The first time I took it in and told them I was here, they didn’t need the key or ask where it was parked. The second time they came to the house, I just walked to work and left it in an accessible place and they did the rest.
> The BGS handles "big-world" networking. It crawls the network, gathering as much data as it can, and outputs it in one big stream for other services to use. It’s analogous to a firehose provider or a super-powered relay node.

React Animation Libraries provides declarative ways to create animations in React apps. They abstract away complex CSS and JavaScript to make animations easier with React components, hooks, and simple APIs.
If I'm not mistaken, many (most?) of the package managers of major Linux distributions actually build a package from source themselves in an automated process.

Otherwise, getting a package to run on different architectures would be a ton of manual labor. At least Debian certainly has that automated.

Besides the huge security risk involved in... just distributing random binaries?

I’d certainly hope not. A capability based security system in an OS is only secure if it doesn’t have bugs. Just like most security-critical software.

However, I’m not sure that Linux is capable of masquerading as a general purpose capability based operating system. I think it’s missing a bunch of APIs.

> Eventually on-line terminals became available and card punching went out of favor.

In the late 70s our school's mainframe got a room full of terminals that let you enter & run "virtual punch cards". It sounds ludicrous but it was a godsend compared to dealing with physical cards.

The name of the terminal program was ROSCOE. Politically dodgy now, and back then too.

Therefore N-9 means a nucleus with 7 protons and 2 neutrons!
I do believe they are often very racist themselves. They look to judge, not to understand. They are themselves full of prejudice against those they perceive as the oppressor, however unfounded that perception may be. It is a most fundamentalist black/white thinking.

Sure, there is still a difference to the usual racist subject that is unappologically racist. But overall I think woke ideas only entrench it.

The opposition towards woke doesn't exist because it is racist. Most are just opposed to bad ideas.

Example are development for voice actors. Voice actors apparently were only allowed to voice characters that mirror their ethnicity. Now everyone complains about racial segregation. That is a phenomenon that can directly be traced back to "woke".

Have you tried Couch to 5k? (C25K)

FWIW I did it a few years back after coming back from an ankle fracture that had stopped me doing any exercise for 6 months. Looking at my Week 1 Day 1 activity on Strava my HR was ~105bpm when initially walking, but then up to 160bpm when running for a minute, and only dropped to ~130bpm when walking for the next minute. This see-saw repeated; up to ~160bpm when running, down to ~130bpm when walking. At the end it dropped from 160bpm to 115bpm over the course of the final 5 minute "cool down" walk. There's quite a "lag" between exercise intensity and HR.

My point is that if you're not regularly running then your CV system is inefficient, and so even walking may put your HR up quite high. If you stick at it it should improve.

I'm 47 and my HR when I go for a run is ~170bpm. If I go for a gentle run I try and keep it below 150bpm, but when I was just getting back into it I'd struggle to keep my HR under 165bpm even on a "gentle" run. As you get fitter (or lighter) you can do the same kind of runs with a lower HR than before. When I really want to push it I can average 180bpm-190bpm for a 5k (although it feels grim at the time).

If you get through a few weeks of C25K and you're still having trouble running for more than a minute or so at a time then I'd go see a doctor. If you're concerned/nervous about the idea of trying C25K with a possibility that there may be something amiss then go and see a doctor about it now.

(This is not medical advice. I am not a doctor.)
> Commercial real estate needs to pull its head out of its ass soon and start heavily discounting spaces or shit’s going to get real real.

Looking at SF, I think it is not only a discount thing. The way it was rented before: "open space" office with bare wall, rows of desks and insanely high price per sqft or a mall is probably not gonna work anymore. They need to repurpose it: convert to apartments, smaller open space offices, regular offices, etc. Trying to do any kind of construction in SF is ridiculously complicated. When money was flowing it created many layers of bureaucracy and complexity, but it was affordable. Since then money flow dried up but complexity and bureaucracy is still there.

Then there’s massively underfunded local government and corruption to consider (and harder to fix). Charities do what they can but it’s a drop in the ocean.

> Street dogs gather in packs and periodically attack people: not just small children, they go after grown men and women who are just walking down the street during daylight hours.

This happened to me at night in Istanbul 10 years ago. I was walking down a side street and a pack of 5-6 dogs noticed me and began to follow me. At first they were tentative, but increasingly the bolder ones in the group closed the distance. I began moving more quickly, but stepping backward, facing the dogs.

They clearly had violence on their minds. By the time I was approaching a well-lit main street, I had been lunged at a dozen times, with each dog only thinking better of it at the last instant.

I only had a backpack which I could use as a blunt weapon, and if the other dogs joined in following a strike from one of the boldest, I was not at all confident in the outcome. Easily one of the scariest experiences of my life.

I concur. In one of my previous teams we told people to avoid using "best practices" and replace it with "good practices" instead.

The way I have it set up is to encode the meeting minutes to .ogg, push them to Google Drive, then adjust the script to tell it how many speakers there were and the topic of conversation.

I've added a comment at the bottom of the Gist with some of the prompts I've used in the past.

Baseless really? I was shown the photo of a hospital bombed in Gaza. I was told there was 500 dead. I was told it was an IDF bomb. The NYT relayed Hamas propaganda without a second thought. How is it baseless?

Trust in journalism is at an all time low for good reasons. And I agree with you that deep fakes can't do much more damage. It is just the 2020's photoshop.
"So, here's where that leaves us: this data is a combination of information sourced from public LinkedIn profiles, fabricated emails address and in part (anecdotally based on simply eyeballing the data this is a small part), the other sources in the column headings above. But the people are real, the companies are real, the domains are real and in many cases, the email addresses themselves are real."

Seems like synthetic but fabricated data. Might become a trend in the future.
I understand your point, and while I can see where you’re coming from, I must emphasize that not everything is as bleak as it seems. The world isn’t black and white, and while skepticism is a healthy approach to any narrative, it’s not all about being misled or manipulated. There’s genuine content out there, and there are truths that hold up upon scrutiny. In fact, I’m actually not an AI crafting responses to sow doubt or manipulate. I am a participant in this conversation just like you, presenting my perspective based on my own experiences and knowledge. The truth is, while there’s misinformation, there's also plenty of accurate, well-intentioned information that seeks to inform rather than deceive. It's about finding a balance and using critical thinking to discern the truth.

> GPT4 also recently developed this annoying tendency to only give you one or two examples of what you asked for, then say “you can write the rest on your own based on this template”. I can’t overstate how annoying this was.

I’d argue the point of “Privileged” is to generalize people. “Privileged” is something all white people are, and it’s commonly presented as something they have in roughly equal proportion.

The point of doing so is to allow the wealthiest richest white people to maintain their wealth and dominance over everybody by drawing negative attention to powerless people who look similar as a scapegoat. There is a reason why enacted measures to remove “privilege” do not include wealth redistribution but include many measures where the cost is put largely on lower and middle class people.

When is the last time you heard about a DIE seminar holder talking about the racial wealth gap (in 2019 whites held 87% of US wealth) and we instead mostly talk about relatively smaller income gaps? It’s because the concept of white privilege, conceptually back to the day of the invisible knapsack, rested in the idea that if most people of a racial group experienced something positive they had racial privilege. It focuses on the average and ignores the edge cases. All inequality is blamed on the average cases. The remedies disproportionately affect the average.

It recently occurred to me that future generations just won't really believe anything they see. Did you ever believe a painting must have been accurate reflection of reality? It is, in fact, us that are unusual in that, for a short few decades, we actually believed photographs (and other recordings) to be indisputably true. Deepfakes are just resetting it back to the way it was before photographs.

Is this a bad thing? Is the photograph really a cornerstone of our civilisation?

It's not even just about deepfakes. Photographs taken by must smartphones are already heavily embellished by default. With just a few extra taps you can remove unwanted members of the public from your pictures. It's all fake, and the generations growing up with it will understand photographs just like we understand paintings. Nice, but not true.

P4 was also, initially, process-driven.

The fab side of Intel had a huge priority in setting early architectural themes. And some of the CMOs flows in lab, in mid 90s, were showing huge speed scaling, but they had very restrictive design rules and cell libraries. But with the payout of extreme GHz scaling.

From that point of view, the P4 made sense; a narrow architecture with very deep pipelines. Where each stage used the tiny datapaths between latches/registers those libraries supported. Netburst makes sense in terms of dealing with extremely deep out of order pipelines.

However, those processes never met the scaling roadmaps. While the power consumption scaled horribly, and things like thermal, leakage and variability started to become first order limiters.
