This resonates with me a lot. During our most recent sprint planning, our team was given a task that's much larger than we've gotten before and I was asked if I thought we'd have the time for all this extra development work. My answer was yes, we have the time. We've always had the time. Not once have I been bottlenecked by a lack of my own time for writing code, it's always been because we need wait days to get permission and support to do anything.
Sounds like a modern version of "record it on VHS, then fast forward through the ads"
> Don't you remember YouTube in 2005 before Google's purchase? It made ends meet all by itself, apparently.

They were burning VC funding the whole time. Youtube didn't become profitable until a few years ago even with Google ads being there it took that much scale and added ads for them to start breaking even on it.
They deliberately kept them at arms length to protect the brand value
In my experience you'll sadly still run into issues when running apps that weren't designed by the original authors to be used as flatpaks due to the permission issues you mentioned.

I see it as a necessary evil since a proper permissions system will make the attack surface for desktop apps much smaller in the long run, and the flatpak portals have the advantage of being much more visible and controllable by ordinary users than AppArmor or selinux (if there were even profiles) before them.
There's no magic in 'AI', all of it can be described as something else. The whole of ML is 'just statistics', especially classification.

(That said I was and I suppose am a bit of a sceptic because of that. But mainly I think because to me it's more useful to call a spade a spade and say we're doing some advanced blah stats to blah. Helps explain, onboard, and motivate the next generation (who likes stats at school? But if that's how AI works, oh suddenly it's cool). Demystify it. If you're just searching over Levenshtein distance [to a technical audience] say that, don't start waffling about 'AI'.)
It doesn’t apply to successful requests, that’s right.

The simulation retries failed requests using various retry strategies, and then after a successful request will wait a configured amount before sending the next request.

My biggest mistake was following the traditional single variable definition of substitution. I now understand that modern CS definitions of substitution typically substitute all (free) variables simultaneously. For variables that you don't want to substitute, you are required to explicitly map them back to themselves.

Chapter 7 of my thesis <https://r6.ca/thesis.pdf> has some more comments. With a bit more care using Prop/Set maybe one could compute explicitly what these Goedel sentences are (similar to <https://web.archive.org/web/20160528092209/http://tachyos.or...>). Maybe using Robinson Q instead of Hodel's obscure NN system would have been better, or maybe with a bit more abstraction it would be easier to apply the proof to other axioms systems, such as ZF, which don't use the same language that PA does. And maybe making sure the Second Incompleteness could follow more easily would be good (which has since been formalized elsewhere).
Car deaths had been falling. It bottomed out a few years ago and has risen significantly.

What about fridges, toasters, smart TVs, playstations, watches, etc.

All devices made with purpose in-mind and only allow the manufacturer's firmware to be installed and are not "open platforms". In the case of smart TVs and many game consoles, you have a direct comparison to phones as they have a single app store with no competitors allowed on their platform.

Should all of these single purpose decives have to bare the burden and cost of opening up their platform for competitors too?
Titanium needs to be in a bigger tube with thinner walls to take advantage of the properties compared to steel - the very first titanium bicycles used the available surplus tubing from defense/aeronautics industry that was close to steel bicycle tubing size and were notably not great until they used slightly bigger tubing and better titanium alloys. Forks have a couple of design features that make it hard to work with titanium tubing, the height from bottom of headtube to where the top of the tire is has to have extra space for clearance or a tiny object or some mud will clog up the fork pretty quickly or cause an immediate stop in front wheel rotation, and that part of the fork has to be extremely stiff. Some of of the first carbon forks had a titanium steerer tube for a minimal weight saving and to make it easier to work with the stem attachment system. Several equipment changes to this part of the bicycle have come about in the last couple of decades to accommodate carbon fiber more easily. The market for titanium was just too niche by comparison to make those changes necessary.
Twelve Theses on Attention

It's not about programming, it's about the domain it's applied in.
That's easily one of the worst aspects of the worst jobs I've had. It's rather insulting that these employers refer to you as a sort of "engineer" but don't allow you to engineer anything. Instead, your role is to execute orders while being gaslit that you have the freedom to make the code better. This is a joke when only a select few programmers are given ownership of things. I've heard the word "ownership" thrown around my whole career as a buzz term, but it seems almost no one gets to own anything. Maybe I should have based my career around nepotism instead of skill.
Is there any chance something like this could work on chromecast?
There's that, and there's a lot of UNIX actually sucks these days and was made for different times.

I complain about Python all of the time.

1. seems to frequently get used for large products where people should really do strong static typing

2. Python 2 to 3 fiasco

3. Packaging and venvs and dependencies are a mess.

3a. versioning of dependencies. culturally handled in a slapdash kind of manner.

3b. Managing multiple versions of Python on my system, and multiple venvs per version.

4. not a functional language

5. Insanely, ridiculously slow compared to something like C. Slow even by the standards of scripting languages.

6. Python culture doesn't seem to acknowledge that regular users that don't care at all what language you used and want an executable, not a hot-glue build-your-own-environment hobby kit.

7. Pervasive culture of weak backward compat in libraries.

8. The pip devs are opinionated, and frankly user-hostile in my opinion, breaking backward UX convention, deprecating, general high-handed ivory-tower dev behavior.

9. I'd complain about the GIL, and a lot of people do, but I actually personally don't care. Maybe I covered it with the slow runtime and care indirectly.

Every time I encounter something written in Python I just mentally groan and roll my eyes. I genuinely don't like Python. Some of what I enumerated obviously bleeds into culture and ecosystem, but in practical terms for practical use, that's not so cleanly separable from the language in a lot of cases. Perl was always great about backwards compat and documentation, Ruby had a strong web dev bent because of rails, blahblah.
I don't disagree, I spend a lot of effort thinking about things at exposure-time. I think the thing that sold me on scene-referred is that I started conciously thinking about the kind of data I was capturing. It's often the case that the display medium, or its artistic representation, has a much lower dynamic range than the sensor in the camera, and so there are a number of things you can do to get the most data possible when capturing to leave yourself room for expression at presentation time.

What this gives you isn't necessarily the ability to "fix" things in post, but the ability to decide how you want your image presented in a certain medium or format when "developing". Even master photogs like Ansel would take liberties when developing to realize their vision from the negatives they were able to capture.
Yeah, can't wait for TheBloke to release GGUFs for this
Invidious and Piped should actually work quite well. Not apps, but work fine in a browser. That's what I'm using on the PinePhone and on regular computers. Though I don't know if Safari still has limitations that make it a pain to use. Invidious is a pain on the iPad 2 because of some dumb design decisions in Safari but I expect it to have improved since then. And maybe third party browsers will at last be allowed on iOS through third party stores, maybe also allowing SponsorBlock to be used on this platform.

I'm missing some features like being able to select a play next video easily, so I may look into writing an Invidious-based client of some sort for this, but they are so many things to do for a strongly limited time.

Maybe Piped has the features I'd like to have, I should check it out.

"Your contract with the network when you get the show is you're going to watch the spots."

The executives for the networks (in which I include YouTube) believe that you have a legal and moral obligation to watch their advertisements -- it's only a fair trade for supplying free, ad supported programming. By watching the show and closing your eyes and plugging your ears when the ads come on, you are cheating on your end of the deal and "actually stealing programming", and the networks have very powerful lawyers who will argue this very convincingly in court.

You don't have the right to be a thief.
It’s unfortunate that Ariane 6 already has no realistic chance of being price competitive with Space X. However it’s great that they are doing something still as competition is what will push us forward.
> it's Gary Marcus. He's an academic with a lot of prestige to lose if the LLM approach is actually good/useful/insightful

I wouldn't bet on loss of perceived expert on the other side status or prestige no matter how poorly his gloomy LLM forecasts fare. It hasn't happened from any of his previous consistently pessimistic predictions around deep learning since the beginning of its resurgence (which has clearly far surpassed its state in 2012, even if currently overhyped). To quote Gary Marcus quoting Gary Marcus:

> Yet deep learning may well be approaching a wall, much as I anticipated earlier, at beginning of the resurgence (Marcus, 2012)
Starting myself :

- Factory games : factorio and satisfactory where definitely a good discovery this year. It's been a long time since i sink so much hours into video games, and even made me upgrade my GPU and screen :)

- KidCad Started exploring PCB design for various hobby project, and i was pleasantly surprise by the quality of the tools. Much better than what i remember things being 20 years ago during my university days

- Krita : I find the UI a big clunky, and it seems to be quite taxing on my iGPU. But the quality of the brushes and the amount of functionality is amazing.
George Boole would disagree
Speaking as a former firefighter who has followed this space with some interest, I'll say that this article jibes with my understanding of the situation. Which, to summarize in tl/dr; form could possibly be stated as "EV's are less likely to catch on fire than ICE vehicles, but when they do catch on fire they can be much harder to extinguish."

Unfortunately I think the article above downplays the impact on firefighters who have to deal with these fires. I looked up one of the Tesla emergency response guides[1][2] once, and at one time the language (which does change from time to time) mentioned the possible need to flow water on a Tesla fire for up to 24 hours. Now I don't know if any agency has ever found that they had to remain on scene with one of these things for a full 24 hours or not, but I've heard many anecdotal accounts of units having to spend substantially more time on scene with these than with a comparable ICE, and then still sometimes having to deal with multiple rekindles. In some cases the rekindle problem has resulted in departments bringing in heavy equipment to dig a small pond, filling it with water, and submerging the car in it.[3]

This is not a minor problem. Nearly every fire department (in the US at least) these days is running pretty lean on staffing in the first place, and having to take multiple companies out of service for an extended period of time to deal with this can be a huge strain on the department and potentially inhibit their ability to deal with other calls. And that's talking about paid departments. A volunteer department dealing with one of these could really be in a struggle, between the need to ask volunteer members to commit to that amount of time on scene, as well as the need to request potentially many tankers for a water shuttle (volunteer departments often cover rural areas where pressurized hydrants can be few and far between, to non-existent).

Hopefully technology will help with some of this. Some departments are already starting to experiment with new techniques[4][5] for handling EV fires, which is good.

> "We are working with other market parties to solve this extreme situation," it said.

Sounds like they are working on an agreement with the others to avoid their mistake turning out to be as costly as that.

It’s probably in the interest of all of the participants that this is resolved with a less costly outcome. After all, who knows which of them will be the one making a similar mistake next time. It’ll be good for them then, if they played nicely now as that can inspire how future happenings will play out.
There is a saying in marketing, I forget the specific words, but it can take up to 5 repeated views of the same ad for someone to make their mind up about buying a product.

Different filesystems have different on disk structures, with varying degrees of complexity and cost in getting those things on disk. Everything can reliably get everything written eventually, but if you want to fully utilize your disk bandwidth, you only want to flush the data that can get there fast, which is going to vary by filesystem. And different applications have different durability requirements.

Likewise, i'd be interested in paying for a YouTube experience that wasn't so horribly over engagement engineered. I'm sick of click-bait and header images that are all powered by engagement culture. I'm sick of YT shoving tons of things down my throat just because i clicked on a single video.

Want to justify $14/m? Try giving me feature in-line with me as a viewer or customer. Instead it'd rather drop the service entirely. So they're going to war with me, and eventually i'll just leave.

Frankly though i'm happy to see these moves affect the community. I want to see more competition, and i'd love to give money ($7/m seems good to me) to a company that is more in-line with features i want.
Automated software writing from a codebase and a requirement description, with the model asking clarifying questions where necessary, would be an immensely valuable application. We're quite far away from that, but GPT-4 is already rather helpful for some coding tasks.
There is a great Hacker News comment from this year out there somewhere explaining exactly where the complexity in CSS comes from, if only I can find it again.

Most of the time, I'll humbly trade "overly rigid in their design and behavior" for "simpler interfaces". Please master VCS, discipline me !

Yes because they are inconsistent with the actions of a moral position you claim and entirely consistent with the actions of someone doing something for financial reasons.
That's now how human nature works. Airbrushing models in magazines has been at epidemic levels for decades. Has that stopped people aspiring to look like models?

The starkest example of this is in the '99 film Fight Club,in a scene where the characters mock a Calvin Klein bus ad featuring an impossibly chiseled model. The man doing the mocking is none other than Brad Pitt whose abs are even better than the model's. Something tells me the characters envisioned by the author didn't look anything like him.

So I have seen this before - a lot of ISPs now days are using "optimiser" boxes that are designed to throttle Elephant Flows (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_flow) to reduce overall consumption. Usually they add a little bit of buffering or the occasional TCP congestion notification to cause a client to back-off and (for example), reduce the streaming video bitrate. But I've also seen bad configuration that can cause this sort of issue - e.g. an mis-configuration that limits you to 2kbps vs 2mbps. The reason the Wireguard tunnel works fine is because it's UDP-based and you can't trigger the same congestion notification behaviour over UDP. These boxes are usually inline to your traffic and are often referred to as "middle-boxes" - more commonly they're used in mobile (4G/5G) RAN aggregation networks where bandwidth is more scarce but they're now being sold into fix-line network providers as a cost-cutting measure.

I see that appeal of it for sure. To my eye though, there seems to be many fonts in the same category, which doesn't make this any special really. But I suppose you might be seeing something in it that makes it perfectly comfortable for you.

I don't really like using "comfortable" fonts much. I find most fonts try too hard to be pixel perfect, removing "imperfections" that can otherwise humanize a font.

"Lies, Inc." aka "The Unteleported Man" had an eye eater!

https://www.academia.edu/2360689/The_Missing_Pages_of_THE_UN...

Freya said, "Tell me. What is the 'eye-eater'? I have to know." Her breath caught in her throat; raggedly, she managed to breathe, but with difficulty.

"A fungiform," the taller of the THL agents said briefly. "One that resides here." He said nothing further. [...]

The eye-eater said pleasantly, "Mr. Ben Applebaum, reach inside me and you will find a slightly-different edition of Dr. Bloode's Text. A copy of the twentieth edition, which I ingested some time ago... but as far as I can determine, not already dissolved by my gastric juices." The idea seemed to amuse it; the lower portion of its face split apart in a peal of excrutiatingly-penetrating laughter.

"You're serious?" Rachmael said, feeling disorganized. And yet the eye-eater was correct; if it did possess a later edition of the text he most certainly had reason to seek it out -- wherever it lay, even within the body of the offensive eye-eater. "Look, look," the eye-eater exclaimed; it held in one of its longer [...]

https://sickmyduck.narod.ru/dick15-0.html

"A lie," the eye-eater rumbled ominously; again its pseudopodia whipped viciously, seeking out the agile creditor balloon, which dipped and bobbed barely beyond the flailing reach of the several sucker-impregnated arms. "As a matter of fact, this gentleman here-" It indicated Rachmael. "My understanding is that the lady and this individual are emotionally involved. Miss Holm is-was, whatever-a friend of mine, a very close friend. But hardly my mistress." The eye-eater looked embarrassed. [...]
