I hackintoshed with an old laptop years ago, and more recently with a custom built tower.

When it’s good it’s really, really good. That old laptop had a better LCD panel than you could get in any Macbook of that era, and that tower ran circles around any real contemporary Mac.

The problem is that no matter how hard you try, there’s always little glitches that are downright impossible to eliminate unless you have the chops to tinker with DSDTs and kernel extension development.
No? Either you have enough nuclear to cover 100% of peak demand, in which case you just run them exclusively (at a terrible capacity factor) because nuclear is almost exclusively capex, or you don't, in which case you need gas peakers.
> DBAN can be configured to automatically wipe every hard disk that it sees on a system or entire network of systems, making it very useful for unattended data destruction scenarios.

Bored, belligerent 14 year old me would have loved to get his hands on this...
Of Chinese regional cuisine, I actually favor Xinjiang, though that is in large part because the need to be halal prevents them from serving pork.

Xinjiang cuisine also avoids the slimy glop coating that is so common in ethnic Chinese cuisine. [A problem that gets much worse if you have food delivered - the food doesn't get drained, and it's packed into delivery containers pretty tightly, so your food arrives bathing in a deep sea of sauce that would have, if served on a plate, fallen below the actual food.]

My second choice would be Hunan food.
They can’t be bothered to create a mobile-capable site, not even informational, so no.
You can see the Largest Ball of Twine from the road, so you never get to actually stretch your legs, which was the whole point, and your detour ends up being a waste of time that contributes nothing to the endeavor.

That seems familiar enough I feel like it might also be a great analogy for something, but now I'm sore, disappointed, and behind schedule, so I'm just going to drop it and bunker down to finish this as quickly as possible.
Every car dealer that I've been to has checked that I'm a licensed driver.

The same can be said for whoever will deliver a car from Amazon.
It's called a loft bed - this one would probably be considered a low loft. This kind of bed is also frequently seen in American university dorm rooms.
Signal can be better in all ways except the one that matters most. Not a single person I communicate with uses it. So it's useless.
> The trouble is keeping it up to date between Windows updates

Just run the script again after a major update. Only takes a minute. And don't let Windows update automatically. I have used this script and it works well.

Also found this in the other comments https://atlasos.net
Linux is pretty good. I use all three.
> There are APIs to do this natively now, introduced in Ventura I believe, but Discord hasn't yet switched over to them.

As of a few days ago, they have: https://twitter.com/advaithj1/status/1723926917286371818
Yea, that's annoying. You have to install the noTunes app and set it to run at log in:

The randomly waking up at night part was one of the biggest annoyances for me before I switched over to the Mac.

I'm a screen reader user, and I would regularly unplug my headphones when not using the computer, especially if it was stored in a bag. Of course, that meant everybody around me could hear my screen reader when Windows decided to do its thing. This woke me up at night multiple times and disrupted a few activities I was a part of. There was nothing to be done.
Plus the new api don't even prevent you from peeking the traffic. Only prevent you from modify it. How is this able to improve privacy?

And the biggest user of traffic modification? You got it, it's all sorts of adblocks. They are literally not trying to hide it. Or they should probably also limit apis that are able to peeking the traffics.
Somewhat off-topic, but fun fact about Darik of DBAN fame - he landed himself in hot water a few years ago when it was revealed he was a founding member of a white nationalist Canadian political party [1]. The party was later dissolved due to inactivity when its leader went to prison for antisemitic hate crimes [2]

For application development the real big problem is that std::source_location::function_nam() bloats binary size massively and cannot be selectively disabled. It is common to want file/line which can be shared per-file, or are small in size, respectively. But function name is unique per function and cannot fold. If you use source location a lot, such as for logging, this adds up really fast.

We are seeing binary sizes increase by 30-50% just from enabling source location, even if we don’t want function_name. Sadly this means we need to turn it back off again and go back to __FILE__ and __LINE__.
if your plugins are constantly getting deprecated, your setup is just too niche or bleeding edge. Use plugins with a large community already

I switch mostly between nvim and jetbrains products. nvim is my simple editor for adhoc stuff that I don't want to open an ide for.
I've just started hanging all my shirts. Basically I have a set amount of coat hangers. If i want a new shirt I need to sacrifice another. It also makes drying way easier. Out of the washing machine, onto a coat hanger, onto the washing line, straight into the wardrobe once dry.
Fascinating. I wasn't aware they outsourced it. I always assumed they came up with their tricks through trial and error.

To paraphrase Norm MacDonald: how do you come up with your material?
Iraq is on this list after the US invaded, deliberately destroyed a ton of civilian infrastructure, started a war that lasted 8 years, and killed half a million people?
Unencrypted RCS messages will be rendered in Comic Sans.
I use Hetzner, but they have a bad rep for killing services that attract too much attention, e.g. DMCA requests
Profit imposes discipline on consumption of the product. River water is classically treated as "free" which leads to great waste in agriculture and horitculture.

Requiring a resource to be sold at a profit ensures it goes to where it is most needed, and that it is used efficiently.
What would that look like? Do you mean having Messenger be the default SMS app for your phone, and having it able to receive RCS? If so, these restrictions in Android would stop it: https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/ims-single-regi...

I've been trying to gain some insight on why Google is not making it easy (possible?) to implement a third-party RCS app for Android and was reading about these APIs (clearly intended for OEMs).

> This means that third party apps aren't allowed to access RCS single registration APIs as they require carrier certification on the device.

Could just be Google passing the buck here, but this does sound like something the carriers would do, if given the chance.
McDonalds revamped their stores here and reduced their in store frontline staff.

There are kiosks but there is a dedicated staff member standing around to help people use it.

It is sort of defeats the purpose and it is slow as molasses and UI nightmare.

Also Uber is too expensive for a happy meal and I loath using the drive through.
The display and the speaker barely works so it is repeating and shouting an order 3 times before they get it right.
Do people who burn 3500 calories weigh one pound less? Are you sure? (that belief is mainly based on an old study where fat was removed from a body and combusted). It's been observed, with newer more accurate measures, that fat burning doesn't correlate perfectly with weight loss.

From what I can tell, weight changes happen only partly due to CO2 exchange and partly due to rates of consumption and excretion.

The biophysical origin (I'm a biophysicist) of weight change as a function of energy use, eating and excretion is a bit more complicated than that.
> - Pricelabs (algorithmic price management) - $20/mo

Out of curiosity, is this similar to the price collusion software discussed here?

Yeah, I have an app that relies on the Rogue Amoeba kext. Probably Zoom or something.

I admit I glossed over the details of SIP partly because I forgot, but the point is that to get audio capture working on Discord ~~right now~~ (Apparently according to neighboring comment this is fixed, but the point does still stand anyways since this literally was the situation for users since Apple Silicon arrived afaik), you have to go into recovery and run some esoteric commands to lower the security level of the machine, and it's 100% Apple's fault because they didn't offer APIs for things that people were using kexts for before shutting off third-party kexts.

(And this whole thing feels a bit rushed, as can be seen by the issues that have occurred with the newer usermode network filtering APIs... It's always especially bad when you fuck up in a way that messes with privacy software for only your own services, even if it's truly accidental.)
Bow to Our Future Overlords
Surprisingly, I'm not sad at all. I've been using Windows for a long time and recently purchased a new computer with Windows 11. It's such an abomination that it forced me to try Linux for the very first time on my production machine, and I'm very pleased with the results. A thank you to Microsoft for giving me a reason to look somewhere else, and a sincere thank you to the open source community for all the work they've put into Linux on the desktop.
Why did you put this shit site in my history
Although LLMs can be used and is being used as the tornado cash of copyright and such things, it doesnt guarantee an escape from legal repercussions in the future, it’s an ongoing debate with a lot of uncertainty and certainly more tooling will arrive to identify traces to origins
In my mind, the whole point of using Signal is that I don't have to trust the server. Why would it matter who hosts the server if we can trust that the clients' communications are E2E encrypted?
Reflections on Reader Correspondence – Ludicity
There are plenty of examples of shallow closets in older homes/apartments that were once workers' quarters. I lived in a triple-decker in Somerville, MA that had a bedroom closet that was only deep enough for hooks on the back wall to hold the limited clothing of the occupants. The only way I could use a rod for hangers was to remove the closet door.

Simone's hangers would have been perfect.
I was just speaking about something similar with my son. I told him he'll learn who he should and should not correct or try to teach because not everyone wants to learn and most people don't like to be corrected. Add in misinformation and feelings based judgements about "truth" and flat earthers are not the kind of people who are looking to be convinced they are wrong.

I'm not saying I wouldn't discuss things with a flat earther, but I wouldn't feel bad if any attempt to find common ground so we both benefit from the conversation ends up obviously futile.
Yes, and I'm saying the commenter is simply ignoring the problems. They aren't just social. A nuclear reactor is something that must be controlled and secured, period. That's not because of social pressure, that's because of the reality of the technology. It's insanity to think otherwise.
Well, perhaps I had to squint to see it much less than expected.
No, it's not just that, it's because having nuclear on a ship has massive downsides in terms of cost and risks. There's a reason the only other ships that use them are icebreakers.
Or the Fiat Topolino also at 10k
I use vim and I don't think it's extra effort. My vimrc has changed once in the past 3 years. I keep trying vscode because I read about how much better the plugins are but I find with most I'm not really getting that much extra value.

I've tried switching to nvim too but I really like my vim setup so it never feels quite right.

If you can code in vscode and you like the interface than its probably not worth it.
I would suspect this too but I know it's not the case.

I've been writing my own LLM from the ground up (literally from random weights, not from any other models) and have been training it on publicly available data and even my highly inaccurate model is able to maintain coherence that Bard completely lacks.

For example: Bard just seems to go on a completely unrelated tangent and throw map directions at me for no reason. Given that I'm just one person, how is it that I'm able to nudge my model to do anything useful and Bard has remained stagnant for the better half of a year? It makes me suspect they're up to something bigger :P
Failure to monetize is usually the exact opposite of failure to please users.
Substantial presence test is applied by IRS only for tax residency. You can be on h1-b for 5 years, pass the SPT and classify as tax resident but still be non-resident alien in the eyes of DHS/USCIS/SSA.
X can't shirk FTC privacy settlement, or block Elon Musk's deposition
Yes, it does, as long as everyone is using RCS via Google Messages.
Simply put: no. I realize that there are a lot of adherents who will judge me harshly for saying so, but that is the simple truth.
Yeah it kinda makes me want to get my kids Android phones.
Layer it on top of something like Matrix, then?
I came across the Kickstarter [1] for this as a Facebook ad and passed over it for all the reasons folks are citing below. Folding hanger? What's the use case? But watching the video, she's really put a lot of thought into this. The system with the paired rod is pretty slick. I love the notches for keeping the hangers spaced.

This solves a problem not everyone has (not me, for instance--I have full-size closets), but I almost wish I did. I think it's going to do well. The Kickstarter is already double-funded.

I've tried a number of these solutions, but if it needs constant babying it's not really useful for daily driving IMO. Still might be good for test VMs, but I want something that feels like it's actually supported if I'm going to run an actual desktop machine. "Just rerun this powershell script after shit breaks and hopefully the person maintaining it doesn't stop because it will need to be updated periodically to keep up with changes." That's not a solution. It's a collection of workarounds in a solution-shaped trenchcoat, and it's ready to tumble over at any moment.

Another big problem with a lot of these things is you run them, then later Photoshop or Winget or VS isn't working suddenly and you have to try to figure out what service or component needs to be re-enabled. At one point I just re-installed over this...
I was replying with my interpretation of what you said above. Did I misunderstand you when you said you don't need generators, UPS, and multiple HVAC systems? If I read it correctlyu you're saying that developers have no clue what being on bare metal means, and that you don't need generators, UPS, or multiple HVAC. But then you said the colo facilities have those (along with other disaster plans).

> > Now you are maintaining generators, UPSs and multiple HVAC systems in addition to your 'few racks of servers'.

> I don't mean to call you out specifically, but I believe your comment is a perfect example of how the majority of developers have no clue what being on bare metal actually involves. You literally need to do none of these things.

By the way, I worked for a double digit billion dollar company that built its own datacenters as well as placing resources in colos. They started out purely in colos, and put several colos out of business over HVAC and power costs (back when rack space was billed by area, not cooling). Even after that, they stayed in colos, and when I worked there, we constantly had to deal with the unreliability of colos- not just that they were smaller, with less cooling, and inadequate power, but also because they often didn't actually fulfill their contractual requirements. ATL was a great example.

If colos work for you, that's great. I just don't thinnk they are prepared to handle disasters nearly as well as the megascale cloud providers.
Even more than that.

From the article: "They located the source of the noise as a dislodged window pane aft of the over wing exit."

The engines are under the wing; the affected seals were over it.

If you're melting the window panes in this scenario from the engines, you're having a really, really bad day. Plus, the noise increase from a missing window pant would likely be the smallest of the warning signs.
I use vscode with the neovim extension. I'm no vim aficionado (I still use the arrow keys...), but it's good to have the vi bindings in an IDE. It even supports variable width fonts!

And then when I open up (n)vim in a shell, the muscle memory carries over.
Even tracking what items you had looked at purely for the purpose of showing you things you had previously considered is trivially justifiable if its used for that feature rather to sell info to advertisers.

Wait, what? How did it come to that? I thought it was more like 50 MB if not even less. Thank God we have ad blockers.

This contains data up to Jun 2023 for the EU.

https://ember-climate.org/insights/research/eu-fossil-genera...

"The first half of 2023 saw a collapse in EU fossil generation, leading to the lowest output on record. Wind and solar continued their growth, with solar generation increasing by 13% and wind by 5%. Hydro and nuclear are recovering from their historic lows in 2022, though their long term outlook is uncertain."

The section "Wind and solar are leading the renewables charge" has graphs for each EU country showing H1 TWh generation by either fossil or renewables.
I'm worried about the spam. I hope they provide the ability to turn RCS off altogether if that's going to be a problem.
Huh, we have the action pack and I just checked, there’s indeed 10 Enterprise keys included. I should try to remember to ask my boss the next time I reinstall if I can grab one of those :D
They had to call it an "Ask" :(
>and imagine we might live forever.

The idea that it's physically impossible is simply ridiculous, and a religious belief. We're able to effectively be immortal now, simply because of reproduction: cell lines continue forever, just not in the same organism. Can we achieve this anytime soon? Perhaps not. But to say it's impossible is silly, it's like saying you can't transmute elements (like lead to gold), when it's been done countless times in stars. Of course, there's a way, but it might involve very advanced tech like nanomachines and genetic engineering.
In The Red: First Light Linda Nagata posits an AI that tries to help people maximise their potential, because by earning more they consume more. The AI escaped from Amazon (the web store), it is theorized.

Neural networks aren't based on how biological neurons work, though they are, I think, based on an outdated and even when less outdated simplified model of how they might work.

Can an LES array nicely reproduce similar color spectrums? If I had to guess I imagine the film lamps emit a pretty broad range of color.
I'm not a flat earther, but honestly when I see people who are ultra smug in their judgement of people who explore alternative ideas. It seems as if it might indicate some insecurity or other complex. Because when I hear something incorrect or wrong, that has nothing to do with me, I never feel its appropriate to just laugh at them or get triggered by it. Maybe the person is crazy? In which case its kind of mean to say the least. But what it does for sure is make you seem like a pompous ass to anyone with a rational and ethical mind.
Im in a similar boat as you. My editing skills seem to plateau pretty early without any deliberate practice. And I always have something I'd rather do than sit down and deliberately practice editing.

I'm curious what people's thoughts are with a slightly reframed question: is explicit practice with your editor worth it?

While it would be nice to edit more efficiently, it's usually not a bottleneck to how fast I can create software.
No no it is insanely useful and I wish I had a job where I could use it more! Noone really has big big data, they only think they do.

You can do the analytics that Databricks and Snowflake are trying to sell your boss for $100.000 a month, only then on an 80$ vps and a couple of S3 buckets full of parquet files.

It's a fantastic tool to run analytics. Lean, purposeful. I hope they can manage to stay out of the clutches of corporate enshittification for a while longer.

It's really interesting for me to see AI voice cloning taking off. A few years ago I worked on a paper called HuBERT (https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.07447) which has since really taken off for doing this kind of stuff (it's the speech representation that SoViTs uses, for example). At the time the main research focus was low-resource ASR; it was sort of a fluke that it works so well for voice conversion. It makes me feel confident that open-source ML will drive more value over the next five years than closed-source ML, despite all the hype around big tech, simply because random people building weird, unexpected stuff on top of foundation models will make things that no one could have predicted.
Thank you! I'm still not clear about the details of the 'Awesome Python' GitHub lists, but can I submit my own repository to it? (I would like to continue improving the repository to make it eligible). Also, regarding the addition of a video to the README, I plan to work on it in my free time.
I agree and that's how I've always handled it. But the OP is trying to solve this purely without macros which is why it is an issue.
Yeah, I don't think about Martingales a lot, but after reviewing the definition -- this literally is one.
