>> Over the past few weeks, I have been engaging in conversations with random people: at the train station, in the supermarket, on the street, and in the city.

Well, for a while I jumped into the "being different and talk to strangers rather than ignore them" boat too. But human society has it's reasons why it behaves this way as a standard.

Unless you wanna run for the "town's lunatic" contest, better respect people's boundaries: https://cdn.cluj.com/cluj/lulu-cluj-750x380.jpg

There are a few exceptions to the rule, even that in need of careful threading of the waters.

- One is drinking in bars and clubs. It's there where I do my part of my "approaching strangers" routine. It's fun but I never "carried over", staying in touch with the respective strangers.

- Not the same can be said about the other socially acceptable way of "how to win friends and influence people": coffee shops. More precisely if you want to do this: coffee SHOP. You need to stick around for long enough to become a regular, to both waiter personnel and the clients. Of which you eventually notice the regulars. And it's not only socially acceptable to engage in conversations with them, you actually can start loose friendships. Absolutely necessary in general to compensate for the general attrition rate in friends circle. Friendship, like any business, needs new hires :)
I remember doing ISP tech support, talking people through downloading Trumpet Winsock with a regular terminal program... It could take a long time to get someone online.

I was reading that in some humid areas they pipe out their grey water or fresh water and disperse it onto their roofs to combat radiant heat from the sun to keep homes cooler.
And if there is a "bug" in your software that accidentally under calculates how much taxes you owe, no big deal, right?

My point being, this is why it is better to hand these sorts of things off to a third party for auditing. Otherwise, you might end up in a nice pickle with the IRS after having checked that box saying you were trading crypto.
> The US just doesn't work like that any more.

Oh yes we do.
COP == 1 is the point at which a heat pump becomes a resistive heater. As COP drops below 1, a heat pump becomes more and more like an actual resistive heater.

Nobody is bragging about COP == 1 ... it's just a reference point at which the benefit of a heat pump goes away and it becomes ... just an inefficient heater.
This appears to be sensationalized. This is the first time I've heard of Civitai, but I perused their website and I found no porn.
> The main issue I have had is if you are trying to get into the .Net Ecosystem without spending money.

I suggest not trying to do this.

You can certainly make most of .NET8 work with a pure OSS toolchain, but your overall development experience is going to be destitute compared to that of the official tool chain. To be clear - I think paid alternatives, such as Rider are fantastic too, but even so I've had some trouble at the edges with paid 3rd party (Blazor apps, UWP, etc).

At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself about what your hourly rate is. If you are going to spend a 20 hour premium per week bandaging up a "free" .NET toolchain, whereas the official, $100/m stack costs you 1-2 hours, which one actually costs you more? What are your principles worth in terms of your free time?
Installation method is going to make more difference than that too I’d have thought.

Putting humans into space is a roundabout way of letting people know you can put anything you want into space. That is, it's a demonstration of superior technology, which usually means superior military capabilities. In the context of the Cold War, it is reasonable to assume that both the USA and USSR feared that the other might become overconfident, underestimate their potential enemy's defence and make a first strike.

Therefore, the logic goes, each side needed to frequently show off their advanced technology whilst avoiding showing any secrets: ostensibly civilian space exploration serves that purpose rather well.
I genuinely don't want to sound pedantic or critical - but anyone who dabbled in maths - from olympiads in school or undergrad or did math for research - would have several such notes for e.g. of graph theoretic models or combinatorics doodles. I used to color mine, or had different dashes/bold schemes for visualization of my problem space.

I think blog author came across this & found it beautiful (good for him!). But IRL this type of doodling is commonplace among math folks.

From their viewpoint, most mathematician's I've met, admire someone's blackboard skills - handwriting, problem layout, & Hagomoro chalks. And the second one would be the witty/intelligent communication in their papers, book or seminal work - which sometimes gain cult status in their small circles.

I disagree with the tone of the headline. CivitAI is a good resource, and the rest of AI world could learn from it for, for example, LLM lora/grammar hosting.

But I am concerned, for a different reason.

Civitai's enshittification potential is sky high. They are hosting loads of enormous models and images for free, on a very spiffy, heavy website. There's no way thats sustainable.

>Yes, that's literally what I said.

In addition to playing it loose with the word "value" you have a broad definition of "literally". What you literally said is what I quoted, "why shouldn't lawyers and other high-skill hourly workers add a 3x multiplier to their reported hours". And the answer in the latter case is simple (and given): because it's fraud.

I am not an extrovert, but I do enjoy good conversations.

However, I rarely enjoy my conversations with strangers. Maybe it is a selection bias, but strangers who try to talk to me are almost always painful to talk to. They say things that make no sense, and leave me having to smile and nod at nonsense. I don't think I have ever had an interesting or engaging conversation with a stranger.

I've been using this the last year for navigating larger code bases where my usual terminal editor falls a bit short because this looks clean and minimal but has all the IDE navigation features like file system trees and LSP functionality. It's a cool project, and it might be getting to the point where it can be used as the main code editor for a project.

In the last few years, a lot of parents have struggled with children having bad thought patterns that lead to mental health problems. Including me.

I am fine with my kids disagreeing with me politically. I encouraged them to explore the world, and encounter different ideas. I didn't realize the full extent of what they were encountering until the general mental health trends showed up in my house.

A lot of the same bad ideas that are spreading on social media, are also rampant at college campuses. My son is required to take courses that promote ideologies which both of us see as being tied to becoming suicidal and depressed.

And then people like you show up and laugh at people like me for being concerned about the ideas that our children are being indoctrinated with. Next time, do you want to be the one to pick your daughter up from a psych ward after a suicide attempt? How would you like to get a call from the FBI about the self-harm video that your child posted to TikTok?

I've had to deal with both of those things. The next time you feel tempted to laugh, put yourself in my shoes. Ask yourself what I should think of your laughter.
It codes as "clean" and "controlled".

It also implied clean energy tech at a time when that was also mostly science fiction.
When it comes to the OSS aspect itself, debugging experience is not the strongest suit but if you overlook it - both Linux and macOS are very well supported by either VS Code / or any other LSP compatible editor + Omnisharp (or DevKit nowadays I guess?) or Rider (which is commercial but is often even better than Visual Studio, definitely faster too).
> And that's similar enough to the basic mental loop of a "trained" improv actor

My point is that this is only superficially similar, and to claim deeper similarity is the anthropomorphic fallacy.

To form a useful mental model, the mechanics need to be similar enough to inform the person evaluating the system as the underlying system evolves.

As LLMs evolve, the improv analogy becomes less and less useful because the LLM gets more and more accurate while the person doing improv is still just doing improv. The major difference being that people doing improv aren’t trying to be oracles of information. Perfecting the craft of improv may have nothing to do with accuracy, only believability or humor.

More generally, thinking of LLMs as analogous to intelligent humans introduces other misconceptions, leads people to over-estimate accuracy, etc.

The oddity at the bottom of all of this is that eventually, LLMs may be considered accurate enough to be used reliably as sources of information despite this “improvisation”, at which point it’s not really fair to call it improv, which would massively undersell the utility of the tool. But a perfectly accurate LLM may still not match any of the primary characteristics of an intelligent human, and it won’t matter as long as it’s useful.
Productivity vs. Insight, Tools for Reflection, and Other Questions Answered
Common situations for founders who describe themselves as bootstrapped:

- doing consulting work on the side

- living off savings

- having a spouse with income

For bootstrapped companies in the software or SaaS space without employees there should be minimal start-up costs compared to say, opening a restaurant. The real loss is opportunity costs: what salary or equity you could have earned as an alternative.
I'm trying to use Guix (just prefer it due to the language, Guile, over Nix) but unfortunately it doesn't have a lot of software packaged yet. I tried to build a project I have but it doesn't even have a "builder" for the language I used , Dart (which compiles to binary on all OSs), and I can't find out how to create a "builder" for it... someone did this for Nix to build pub packages so it's possible, but it seems if you want to use Nix/Guix you're stuck on a very limited set of things you can use? Is that a fair analysis? Do you have hints to build your own software when it's not available on Nix/Guix?

But that wasn't the choice, the choice was to create an open hub for basically everything related to Stable Diffusion, with limits for a broad range of illegal things, but without policies against things that are steps out from that because at even one step out the “well, combined with other things it could be used badly” bans everything.

The highlighted bounty feature is technically accurately, but misleadingly, described. Yes, people can and do post requests for models of real celebs there, but they also post requests for fictional character models, for concept models not tied to particular real or fictional characters, for technical assistance with model training, for people to generate showcase images for existing models.

>Nord Stream 2 was ended long before it blew up.

Nord Stream 2 was pressurized ready to deliver cheap gas (which German industry desperately needs) with one flip of a switch. That presented a risk to the United States, who didn't want them to be tempted.

>If you believe "bring an end to it" can only encompass explosive options

Absolutely not but when an end to it is brought explosively and one party has threatened to do just that and has the most motive:

* German energy intensive industries is being lured over to America with promises of cheap energy.

* Germany is now paying a lot more TO America for its expensive LNG (something it has publicly wanted for a while).

* The US has been wanting to pull Germany out of Russia's economic orbit for a long while now.

Then the most plausible story is the one broken by the same guy who broke my lai: Biden not only threatened to do it, he did it.

ProtonMail never used to require another email to verify, and only asked for a phone if I was on an IP that had made more than one account already.
But just because something is open source doesn't mean it's easily maintainable by anyone. It's one thing to install and run it somewhere, but if it needs fixes or customization it quickly becomes necessary to learn and understand the architecture and organization of the code, the data models and structures, etc. and if it was previously the product of a "one man shop" then you're going to have to pay someone to do that learning.

One piece of context to note here is that models like ECMWF are used by forecasters as a tool to make predictions - they aren't taken as gospel, just another input.

The global models tend to consistently miss in places that have local weather "quirks" - which is why local forecasters tend to do better than, say, accuweather, where it just posts what the models say.

Local forecasters might have learned over time that, in early Autumn, the models tend to overpredict rain, and so when they give their forecasts, they'll tweak the predictions based on the model tendencies.

I think it’s a hard sell for people to want to clip and external webcam over the webcam already built into their laptops. It looks nice but it’s a bit baffling why anyone would really need this nowadays. I get lots of pc webcams are crappy but that’s not really a problem on your end.
For what it’s worth, the Verge reviewer said that the software isn’t required, it is just a normal plug and play webcam with a much better user experience than the C1.

To call this impressive is an understatement. Using a single GPU, outperforms models that run on the world's largest super computers. Completely open sourced - not just model weights. And fairly simple training / input data.

Really? I looked up some data about working in the trades awhile back (so numbers maybe slightly higher in 2022 data than in my comment, but still close).

The U.S. Census Bureau lists the annual real median earnings at $41,535 in 2020 for all workers with earnings[4] and lists the annual median earnings at $56,287 in 2020 for people who worked full-time, year round. [1]

Plumber - median $56,330, demand growth, slower than average [2]
HVAC tech - median $50,590, demand growth, slower than average [3]
Electrician - median $56,900, demand growth average (actually 9%) [4]
Framer(Carpenter) - median $49,520, demand growth, slower than average [5]
Bricklayer(Mason) - median $47,710, declining demand. [6]
Software engineer - median $110,140, demand growth, higher than average [7]

Are these tax credits meant to encourage people to replace functional equipment with different types, or are they meant to encourage people to replace broken equipment with a different type? (Or to encourage new construction to use a different type than typical)

Often, for light users, the payback time for switching to a more efficient heat system is longer than the expected lifetime of a new system, so it only makes sense to consider it when the current heating system is broken or when the current cooling system is broken, since a new heat pump could replace heating and cooling.

It's potentially different if you're a heavy user of heating.
>The cost of a university education has skyrocketed

Citation required ... the headline prices for colleges have gone up considerably, but so has the amount of scholarship and grant funding (i.e. universities discounting from publicly advertised prices).

In fact, the average net cost-of-attendance (including tuition, fees, housing and food) for private, four-year colleges in the US is - in inflation-adjusted dollars - slightly lower now than it was in 2006-07 and has been trending down since 2016-17.

This is also the reason why annual student loan borrowing peaked in 2010-11 (again, in inflation adjusted dollars), has been reducing year-on-year, and is now down over 35% since then.

People obsess over the headline prices, which are almost never the prices actually paid. Any kind of sensible comparison has to be done on the basis of actual net cost-of-attendance.
