Like in most versioning schemes, the dot isn't meant to be read as decimal point.
comparing version numbers as tuples and not as decimals is a pretty standard thing. Linux does it as well, for example. I am actually not sure of a project which does something different.
Because they use Emacs? Let's say you are an org-mode user but write Typescript for your day job, and want to make a new plugin. This lets you do that with the language in which you are most proficient.
Noopept is essentially a peptide chemical mimic. Price wise Piracetam is cheaper and easier to make. Metabolism is similar enough, potency while higher likewise runs into the same side effect profile at too high dosage so is no good.

Noopept should be a bit lighter on the liver and kidneys.
I’m wondering what to do when my incandescent light bulbs in my sauna go out. I’m pretty sure leds won’t work well in a 200F+ environment.
"Hailed" by many people many times over the last 100 years but the idea has mostly not worked in many countries.

From what I can work out, the economics don't scale in the way we would assume. 200 people on a train sounds like a large economy of scale, and indeed, on the excursion trains we have been on, it is cheaper than a normal 1st class ticket for a longer journey even with 20-30 paid employees aboard but I don't think the access charges work for regular trains.

Hopefully they can work in the US although from what I understand, the Eastern seaboard is much more setup for passenger traffic than the rest where you are more likely to get slow average speeds or frequent stops for single track.

At the same time, people who compare the plane usually compare the air ticket to the train ticket, not the ticket to the airport, the things you might buy there, the time you have to waste waiting, the car parking at both ends etc.
Because they have a captive market: In general the use of a notary is mandated by law, and being a notary can be extremely regulated with limited numbers of notaries/licenses.

They could open this to competition and let lawers do the job as well, but that would go down badly with the notaries who make a fortune.
It varies by state. In IL both sides must have a lawyer. In IN everyone has the agent do boilerplate. I can say the IN way saved me a few thousand bucks…
i took a sleeper car on an overnight train from dc to chicago. it got delayed for 5 hours in sub zero temperatures _with no power/heat_ because one of the cars caught on fire. Other that that the trip was great.
The royalty is like ~20%, the severance tax isn’t super meaningful here.
I made a 3D CLI and Desktop Environment [video]
Hi Everyone! I built this 3D desktop environment, CLI, and visualizer tool. I am currently using it to control a few hardware devices, so it is my operating system for those. It's in very early stages and has many updates in the pipeline. It is written in UE BP, C++, Python, React, Javascript, HTML, and CSS. The included videos describe plans for new features and major updates including a new 3D Python IDE. I would appreciate any feedback on it!
I love Wessels. His book, Reading The Forested Landscape, is a must for anyone that spends time in New England forests. It's fun to imagine all of these small mountains being essentially sheep fields at one point.

Anytime I'm in the woods I'm looking for pillows and cradles and trying to determine if they were formed by hurricanes, nor'easters or typical storms.
Awesome! So I can turn that off if I'm confident about a particular extension, right?

No? OK so it's just another land grab taking more from users and giving it to Google. The enshitification continues, and apparently we should thank Google for the privilege.

2200K LED bulbs. For example, GE's vintage style. Still not as good as an incandescent. Finding a really good, dimmable, warm, LED bulb is still elusive.
Good luck - please let us know how it worked out for you!
I splurged on bulbs from Waveform Lightning for my office and bedroom. The have 95 CRI flicker free bulbs.
Artificial scarcity of what? Content?
The thing to notice about this system is that only people who send more emails than they receive lose out. It would end spam at a stroke.

And it doesn't matter if online purchases are more expensive, because you get that money back through email receipt fees.

Tougher challenges are the traditional ones with micropayments. Transaction costs. And maybe tax implications. And the differential incentive based on wealth. People struggling for cash would still try and minimise their outgoing communication, which is probably a bad thing for a healthy society.
Which index fund is that?
Possibly, but the article is about magicians being less susceptible to mental disorders than "other artists" so a related question could be "Is my wife an artist because she has mental disorder conducive to creativity?"
I'm excited to see the first brand new content from an existing series. I really love the 80's cartoon Inspector Gadget. There are about 100 episodes and they are all pretty repetitive (so hopefully easy to train AI with). I would be enthralled if someone could create new episodes with:

- AI generated storyline

- Deepfake the original actors voices

- Deepfake the animation, which should(?) be easier (more realistic) than the video deepfakes.

This could be so cool, "hey AI, make an Inspector Gadget espisode where the dog gets lost in the forest and Uncle Gadget eats magic mushrooms he finds while trying to find him"
Again you are making things up. A defense attorney is welcome to argue (for example) that the guy who battered me unconscious with a baseball bat on the security footage and took my wallet was actually "gifted" my wallet, or the wallet was actually "abandoned" by my unconscious self, but nobody has to testify as to the ownership of my wallet for a successful prosecution. The jury as finder of fact has sufficient evidence from the security footage alone.

Of course I have no idea what you think you mean by "claim of ownership" at this point- courts make ruling based on "admissible evidence" as I said. There is no legal requirement for the evidence to be a "claim of ownership".

Feel free to have last word if you want, this conversation has gotten silly.
> There is no open source-like alternative for seeds

Maybe there should be. Interesting idea.
I guess then everyone accepting 50 quid from a mate for fixing up their car or something is also commiting tax fraud. Immaterial amounts like this are not on tax authorities' radar. And if you are making a material amount, nothing is stopping you from doing the right thing and reporting your side income anyway.

Crypto just reduces the hassle.
I've suggested that twice now, but it's a couple of the more senior members on the team being resistant, so the feet dragging continues.
If you state that there's a ghost that lives in your house, it will give answers that are relevant to that being an actual truth, at which point spiritual advisor might not be a bad idea. If you express yourself in less certain terms, it will not suggest that the ghost is actually real and will only offer rational explanations.

Context matters - if you begin with saying that you're 6 years old, it will not be willing to admit that Santa isn't real.
> but it's clear that they contain a vast amount of knowledge.

Is it though?

There's nuance in what we call knowledge, but to me, knowledge is not uni-dimensional. What I mean by that is, I know when I _know_ something, and I have learned that that is not a trivial skill.

How do I know I _know_ something? Usually because I have searched for evidence from multiple angles / dimensions / senses. When multiple independent observations of quality agree, and my conclusion matches the result, it is safe to say that I know that fact.

An LLM may have multiple 'dimensions' in a linear algebra sense, but does it have independent information?
Microsoft Launches 'Windows App' for Mac and PC Users
these examples of "what one would assume to be atomic" did not seem useful to me, they looked like things that are obviously not threadsafe.

a more interesting example is something like this:

# setup
l = []

# thread A
l.extend([1, 2, 3])

# thread B
l.extend([4, 5, 6])

is the resulting list always within the set of [1,2,3,4,5,6] or [4,5,6,1,2,3] ? or are the two sets of numbers randomly interleaved in the list? or if the GIL is removed does the interpreter segfault (I'm pretty sure this latter will not be the case for GIL removal but I don't understand the gil remove plan very much yet).

Edit: before people jump in and correct how the above is a bad idea anyway, it's not like I'd ever do the above and expect anything but disaster. This is more of a thought experiment to understand what GIL removal is going to do.
> why then did it take me 10 seconds yesterday

It definitely took you more than 10 seconds, though I guess a bit of hyperbole does not hurt.

You validated findings against other source, which is obligatory step with chat gpt.
Metcalfe, inventor of ethernet, predicted in 1995 that the internet would collapse the next year, because the underlying tech couldn't possibly scale. He ended up having to literally eat his own words. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Metcalfe#:~:text=24%5D%...
Yes, if your only concerns are the %age of renewables in the electricity mix and the health of an industry that could only continue to exist with direct subsidies it was incompetent.

Personally, I think the Energiewende is one of the most expensive failures ever. It cost about €500 billion in direct subsidies and indirect damage in the trillions due to lower economic growth. Not to mention the waste that was the installation of solar panels and wind turbines that were less efficient and became uneconomical to even upkeep.

And what was gained by this sacrifice? Today solar is the cheapest form of energy generation to build (even with storage and even in Sweden) and we got exactly nothing for being first.

Imagine if the Energiewende was a framework of laws and some light subsidies that allowed for an actually decentralized energy market. You sell your 10kW solar installation's power to your local farmer while you're at work and he sells you the power from his combo natgas and biogas reactor at night. All proceeds from this tax-free with no bureaucratic BS and guaranteed access to your local grid. Pretty soon there would have been small towns that were net exporters and the system would be extremely resilient.

Instead, because of lobbying by the privatized monopoly companies but mainly because politicians are allergic to self-orgazing and self-regulating systems (they cannot imagine them and they resent that they don't need their involvement) we got high prices, centralized and fragile generation, communities opposed to wind turbines because they did not see any benefits.
Just the property taxes were about 30% of the rent I paid at the place I rented before buying our house. Property taxes are paying for local services; renters are paying them as well, but the landlord handles the money in between.

Not an expert. The LED lamps require a driver circuit, which are generally poorly designed. Any gains in the possible lifespan of LEDs is offset by these, allowing manufacturers to sell LED lamps more often…not as often as older technologies, but it gets there sometimes. Poor drivers can also cause flickering and other issues.
Definitely, I agree with you. I tried reasoning with the person and at no point he expressed any sentiment of doing something wrong, to the contrary, he said he doubled down on the fact that he was being generous by offering me a chance to become the "cofounder" of his project. But I didn't decide to come public just because of that, that's only one example among many of ill intent and just not caring.
On the short term, yes. On the longer term (probably only a year or two at this rate) no because these models also allow you to generate entirely new voices. We'll likely see features like describing the voice you want with a prompt and getting several to choose from, remixing existing voices, combining voices and creating voices that are impossible for any human to have. The introduction of other forms of recording and reproduction didn't result in total monocultures, even music which gets a bad rap for all sounding the same only has this problem in the mainstream, scratch the surface and you'll find hundreds of weird new genres and styles.

We could see a future where every commercial is narrated by Attenborough or Freeman but indie creators will be pumping out vast quantities of wild interpretations and new applications of the human voice.
I live in a Vermont town of about 600 people, and according to the 2022 town report, we have three Fence Viewers, along with a Weigher of Coal/Measurer of Wood.

For the record, I have no idea what the weigher of coal would do if I showed up to his place and asked him to weigh a load of coal for me.
If You Fight Your Traffic Ticket in This Louisiana Town, the Mayor Is Your Judge
it's not that hard to only step on the joists in the attic, if it was built to code. if you don't want to crawl in the crawlspace, pay someone else to do it for you.
If you ask it to start explaining/extending/implementing classes/interfaces, start asking it to reason about leaky abstractions or when it’s appropriate to use Mixins, it frequently generates code that either doesn’t work or just misses the point. It’s especially hard because some of these problems actually are not tractable in the language you’re taking about due to their features, or due to limitations of your code/your knowledge it may suggest you do something slightly worse because you haven’t prompted it on factories or other design patterns that you might want to use.

Nope, I need to set/change headers.
Not all areas of work and life come with error messages that are a cheap to encounter. Coding might be somewhat special and the use case for LLMs there might be considerably stronger than in some other areas.
So it's not going to be appropriate everywhere, but when I have a cursed light fixture [live in an old house, out in the boonies], I've had good luck with the ultra-fancy designer LED bulbs that try to look like old Edison bulbs.

They're usually not as bright as other bulbs, which isn't suitable for all applications [although desirable in others].
Which index fund is that?

Stratton Oakmont
Ok I make a really nice server and give it away for free. Some guy making 300k a year uses it to build something else and gets a promotion so now he makes 400k a year and his company is now making millions. They've exploited my freely available software to acheive this goal. Sure they could have invested to build it again (perhaps by paying me to build it? or by licensing my software from me?) but instead they get this at the cost of 0 and the result that they make is under no obligation to be free. This is a problem because when you assume that it's free you whole business model is based around exploiting the free to build the proprietary. This is the business model of almost every software company in operation and why the OS authors are broke and the software is devalued. A lot of the times if you're working at one of these companies that operate under this business model you are even discouraged from writing anything serious yourself or to do "overengineering". That's because the overengineering is being done by unpaid open source contributors.

> To my mind, open source software is returning to the basics of human society - helping each other where we can. If you only ever do things with the intention of getting paid to do them, then you live a sad life.

This honestly is horseshit because we wouldn't have this conversation if the profit of off open source was being distributed in any way fairly (or to put it patronisingly: used to help the contributors). By releasing your software under a license that permits this type of exploatation you are putting yourself in a precarious position of being at the mercy of whoever exploits it for commercial gain.

So as I am not misunderstood, I am not against open source in general or say GPL, but against using licenses like MIT/BSD by default.
That probably explains the weird sensations in my chest, especially when turning on the stove to cook something.
It's highly likely that modafinil is a reversible DAT antgonist to boot, so anything binding stronger will "kick it out" of the receptor.
I bought https://theartofpostgresql.com/ few years a go. It goes more into intermediate/advanced category and I have been quite happy with it.

I was fortunate to have a Database Basics course in the university that was 80% database schema design and 20% SQL queries and indexes. Reasoning for such a split was that fixing a bad database schema is much harder than fixing bad queries.
Very good points. That gives me the idea of specifically training LLMs on each side of the active scientific controversies and then host/publish an event where they debate. Might be very interesting to geeks, or they will hate it. Probably both.
Except in Oregon you also have to have a minimum number of transactions per year or have a “senior broker” sign off on all your deals (for a price).

The one thing I would really like for ethernet is a smaller connector. But one that is still able to handle self-made cables. So something like just throwing a Type-C connector at it probably isn't going to work.
I want to add that using the title attribute should be very specific and narrow[0] as it has some very bad implications for accessibility.

I know some devs might see this and think "Titles are builtin in tooltips!" and unfortunately, they are not.

Thank you for direct links to these. Winner is obviously much outlierier than these other two "mere mortal" young animators.

Mentally daydreaming, my thoughts flash back to 2002 — back when a simple 16-color, ten second animation (done by a peer at our elite creative arts HS) took days to render [PowerMacG4MDD Rage128 FTW!] and secured this peer artist acclaim from his classsmates, state, and future creative employers.

How far we've come. To where we'll go. Just incredible — can't imagine what the next decades will allow, but looking forward to robotic dumplings/streetfood.
> Isn't this basically the same concept they already used with ordinary content scripts for years?

It was implicit, now it's explicit and it gives more control and better understanding. It also allows introducing more levels of isolation, like a separate "USER_SCRIPTS" world or "MAIN", before that you had to mess with evals and adding script tags.

> Yes, but those too are just an improvement compared to the previous state of MV3

Yes, that's why I listed these as improvements.

> And it again sounds like "we're now slightly less shitty to extension devs than we were before".

They went from "1 person that tries to make things not crumble" to a large team of developers, it's a big step forward. What signal do we send them if we always say "everything you're doing is bad" even when it's factually not true?

> Firefox shows that it's no technical problem at all to implement both APIs at the same time.

At first we all thought that DNR is there for them to limit content blockers. With time they proved us wrong when they worked hard on improving it and covering more and more use cases.

Now I tend to think that this is an engineering decision that's driven by the other change - the shift from persistent background pages to service workers.

Is there a better solution that could save the blocking webRequest and achieving their goals at the same time? Most likely there is, but how hard would it be to implement it instead or what if it requires an architectural change? Anyways, these are speculations, I am with you here and I don't support blocking webRequest removal.
In that's your usecase, it's better to save yourself the hassle and just set up good WiFi
Coal is possibly a closed loop on a geologic scale, while trees are a closed loop on a human lifetime scale.
If a cut 100 acres, and burn it, replant it, I'm net neutral.
If I burn the same amount of coal, I don't have the 100 acres to plant.
Coal adds net carbon to our system on the timeline we care about.
It's seems to me that on a planet dense with nuclear powers, not needing to maintain a vast arsenal would be an advantage.

Sure, you need four or five big ones so you can start the chain reaction that ends all human civilization, just like your neighbors can, but since everybody else can be relied upon to complete the job once started--so the logic goes--it seems like the best move would be to have far fewer nukes than everybody thinks you do.

Of course the problem with that is that somebody somewhere is going to manage to keep the money for all of the nukes people think you have, thereby squandering the advantage.
It wasn't an anecdote of one person who paid that/more; it was a note that the fourth largest economy in the world has such a typical arrangement.
The buyer's agent fee is basically subsidizing the hard work of buyer's agents (which is taking their clients to multiple properties, discussions about what they want, using time browsing MLS to find houses that meet criteria and arranging tours of them)

When I was looking to buy a house, my agent received no financial compensation from me at any point. Their work was entirely subsidized by the buyer's agent fee - and we looked at a lot of houses trying to find the right one.

The negative effect of that is that they're incentivized to offload us asap.
Agents want to close the deal as soon as possible so I assume they will try every trick to persuade the onwer to set the price below the average. Or am I wrong?
> followed by Google's automatic (and mandatory) "privacy protecting VPN" built right into chrome!

Hmm...

My workplace banned the use of Brave a number of weeks back because Brave started including a VPN with it. They were concerned about people using the VPN to bypass corporate security mechanisms.

If Chrome did the same, I wonder if they'd ban that as well?
Digital content of songs and movies is exactly the same as the way you consume it. It is the tangible thing. It’s like having a perfect atom to atom reconstruction of the Mona Lisa you can put on your wall and stealing it. People’s jobs depend on the money made from selling digital media and making more digital media takes money. You can try to abstract it away but it doesn’t make sense. Maybe the prices or agreements aren’t fair but the blacksmith can charge whatever he wants for what he makes.
Google will be a shell of the former glory by the end of the decade and we'll all by baffled at how they fumbled it from such a position of dominance. Honestly the only parts of their brand I can see surviving it are YouTube, maps and Android. Everything else is completely fair game for disruption and some of it is just laying there on the table for the taking (e.g Image search and actually Search in general), heck YouTube could even be replaced if TikTok made a long form feed.

We've watched them be total top of the field world wide in machine learning, things they demoed over a decade ago now were basically magic then they proceeded to do absolutely nothing with the tech and just leave it to rot, now look at them scramble to finally try and implement some of that into reality and their organizational structure just isn't up for the task.

Current CEO needs to sit in all ML meetings for a week, figure out who knows how to operate and build it, who's stopping it from leaving the labs, separate the implementation wheat from the bureaucratic chaff, metaphorically lock the wheat in a skunkworks for a month and tell them they have to demo in 3 weeks and ship something when the doors are unlocked at the end of the month.
