I stopped using Obsidian, etc for this reason. I spent a fair amount time creating a database but never got real value out of it. It was just a waste of time. I'm questioning the whole premise of these systems. Why do I need a personal database when I can find anything I need on demand online?

I now have a few simple text files with project ideas, book notes, and todos. It feels much better and I don't spend time managing it.
If it’s JSON you want, here’s my blog’s RSS feed in JSON.

http://scripting.com/rss.json

I started generating the JSON version in 2011.

It took a few minutes to write the JSON rendering code, that’s how close the two serialization formats are, so if you want JSON, you can have it.
Blazor is the definition of boring technology through and through. Use it in MVC mode and get ergonomics that date back to the early 2000s with a hiring pool so deep you can't ever find the bottom of it
Strange discussion here. I'm a developer in everything for 20 years and the last 7 probably in large JS/TS applications.

I switched to Blazor Server for the last year in a new company and it has a montrous amount of benefits.

First of all, do not pretend that you are Google or Facebook. This is a repeated mental illness that developers suffer from. No won't face any performance issues. The contrary, Blazor is blazing fast.

However, there are couple of issues when it comes to interactivity with javascript frameworks. Until .net 7 you could use every JsRuntime.JsInvoke... something like that to invoke JS function.
In .net 8 they changed something and you cannot use it like that anymore or you get strange subtle errors when you get "too" dynamic. I'm figuring it out right now. But other than that you have a gigantic .net stack with build-in support ORM, RateLimiter, Caching, Distributed-Caching, MVC, WebAPI, ... The list of features is infinite.
Blazor Server is even better for corporate intranet applications. Building monitoring/operations apps is insanely easy when you can just connect your UI components directly to a singleton state on the backend. I wouldn't even consider anything else if my job was to make an app for a group of users who all sit in the same room.
Okay, we have a small farm in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia. A large chunk of it was cleared for cattle and is kikyu/gass pasture, and we still run a small herd of 8 head. But we're very lucky to have about 3/4s of our land well preserved bushland.

The first thing we did when we bought the place was to plant several broad wind-breaks and shelter-belts with native species in the pasture, forming "corridors". Over the years we've added more -- revegetating the road-verge and encouraging the stuff already there to grow back. We've also planted hedgerows of some other trees that aren't native, but are stock fodder, and the birds and insects love them.

We plant a variety of eucalyptus species, acacias, sheoaks, and a number of melaleuca's and various bushes and shrubs.

This year we enlarged two of our large shelter-belts, extended several of our shade-clumps, and did an ambitious amount of planting along the road verge (which hopefully won't be shredded by the council next time they come along).

It's a drop in the ocean, but it's local, it's something concrete that we can do beyond the rather ridiculous appeasement of separating the recyclables.

Some of the trees we plant will outlive us, and I love that.
Yes, they mentioned this in article.

> According to DIGITIMES, the high Tesla Model 3 fault rate can be attributed to Tesla’s decision to cease defining service intervals in 2019. The limited availability of Tesla service centers is another key factor.

> Although the TÜV SÜD report is specific to Germany, Tesla’s lack of service centers is a global problem. Tesla currently has 186 service centers in the US. By comparison, there are almost 3,000 Ford service centers.
The "Betreiber" part includes the phone banks, which, being operated 24/7/365 and scaled for 80m inhabitants, will run a tab pretty quickly (in particular since I never heard anyone having trouble getting a person on the phone). And the "Entwickler" part includes software upgrades on the lab systems, which (IIRC and I'm far too lazy to actually go and check) were a couple of thousand. Effectively they upgraded all the lab systems in Germany with that money.

None of that is covered when I'm thinking about "developed an app for XX EUR". The money isn't the misleading part, it's the insinuation for what it was spend that's misleading. If you can dig up a itemised bill I'd be very interested, but I don't think anyone will get that in the next 10 years without a huge effort involving actual courts...
TIOBE is still behind useless. It once listed Visual Basic ahead of JS. It has as much relevance to sorting programming languages as alphabetical ordering.
I'd expect that on a regular CPU, the RAM access latency will destroy any performance improvements. This work is much better suited for FPGAs or ASICs.
A very small percentage of people living in rural areas are actually in food production.
>After 160 years of the same political party fighting to rebuild racism

Is this serious comment? There was nothing that happened in the parties in the 1960s? Maybe 1964? All of a sudden the people in the south just suddenly decided to no longer be racist, and joined the Republican party fighting _against_ racism?
The media matters article was the day before that, b it, yeah, it’s fairly clear that advertisers’ decisions were driven more by Naughty Old Mr Car’s misdemeanours. Which makes the whole thing all the sillier.
It’s probably one of the precious few arguments where “think of the children” is actually valid.
And everything I buy from the store is encased in plastic (bananas! eggs! bread!).
That's another item, actually. When there are a lot of vacancies on the board you don't make controversial decisions if you can avoid them for fear of being seen as acting without sufficient support for the decision. Especially not if those decisions have the potential to utterly wreck the thing you are supposed to be governing.
Yes, and the SEC sued them in COURT so they can make their case that they are securities and Kraken can make the case they aren’t. Isn’t this what Kraken wanted?
At this point, it's becoming clear that the remaining board members aren't competent to run a lemonade stand let alone sit on the board of OpenAI. They don't have the best interests of the company, its mission, or its employees anywhere on their priorities. Their blasé attitude toward destroying an $80bn company, throwing the lives of its 700+ employees into complete chaos, and giving customers and investors the finger without any public statements is proof of that.
For what it's worth, I didn't downvote you.

Depends on what you define as positive impact. Helping programmers write boiler plate code faster? Summarize a document for lazy fuckers who can't get themselves to read two page? Ok, not sure if this is what I would consider "positive impact".

For a list of negative impacts, see the sister comments. I'd also like to add that the energy usage of LLMs like ChatGPT is immensely high, and this in a time where we need to cut carbon emissions. And mostly used for shits and gigles by some boomers.
The whole discussion around why a .NET shop might choose Blazor over Javascript ecosystem misses these critical things when it comes to developer experience:

1. Antivirus scans — it will take a lot more time for an antivirus to scan the tens of thousands of files in node_modules than whatever dotnet is doing. Especially on Windows

2. Corporate proxy support — the story of proxy support and importing custom certificates for the MITM proxy is still pretty much horrible (although improved since middle-2010s) in the Javascript ecosystem. dotnet is not perfect here and still has some warts in some specific tools, but much much better.
That would be pretty damning and it is very likely to come out. Board meetings that aren't board meetings are a big no-no.
>This corporate minutiae

Why can't professional writers properly use Latin words? Why are misapplied plurals so common?
This is not a goalpost shift. It's THE argument. I'm not sure what arguments are there for alternative narratives.
That is the idea, keep GoT behind the scene. Don't dump it on the street. When you have a new king, make sure he isn't usurped next day and population is revolting outside the gates of Red Keep.

Heresy! ONS is die Jakarandastad. (PTA)
Thank you for the feedback :-)

We have to be careful with the comparisons we make.
The TPUv3 is a training and datacenter chip and not an Edge/Inference chip. They optimise for a different tradeoff, so while the comparison looks good, it is unfair.
> I wanted to pay in cash... me as a German

Very German thing to do, yet in the UK I have not had a need to pay in cash, just use your card (or phone/watch if you are into that). Dunno if it was the money type, or just not want to be dealing with cash per se.
They're not a great street tree because of the reasons you outline. But they do look spectacular for a short while in the year.
As usual, things will happen much differently. Space exploration is likely to be taken over or driven by national security motivations, all idealism shoved aside.
That's a fair point but there is at the same time a lot of information about how boards are supposed to work and how board members are supposed to act and the evidence that did come out doesn't really make it seem as if it is compatible with that body of knowledge.
The Perilous Journey Toward AGI – Ilya Sutskever – TED [video]
It's known that record labels pay Spotify to promote certain artists more (known as industry plants if they are not already established). They found a loophole so that it's not considered payola (which is illegal)

As you are the author: why the name Stella Nera / Black Star?
Could it be that their research found more 'glimpses' of a dangerous AGI?
Low price genotyping makes me think of the maxim: “ If you are not paying for the product, then you are the product .”
It's totally fair. If you're going to be intentionally ambiguous just because it's technically correct, we can just assume you're an asshole and extrapolate from there
It is about as bad as it gets and given that datum I hope that D'Angelo has a very good lawyer because I think he might need that.
iOS is generally more efficient than Android due to ARC, AOT compilation and the way it aggressively manages apps.
Pretty much all thin modern laptops, Surface Pros etc use copious amounts of glue for different parts. With the worst offender iirc being the Surface Laptop which can't be opened at all without damaging the keyboard.
He’s trying to appeal to the American far-right, now, and they appear to like it when Trump does it. I think this is actually a major cultural difference between the US and Europe that I wasn’t previously aware of; this sort of temper tantrum would, I think, almost universally be seen as a sign of weakness here.

Frankly, I think this is the only reason countries with more plaintiff-friendly defamation laws, like the UK, haven’t been forced to reform them; it is such bad press for public figures to actually use them, particularly in nonsense cases like this, that they mostly don’t.
According to https://www.epectec.com/batteries/cell-comparison.html, 160 Wh/kg is about the same density as Li-po and Li-ion. This battery chemistry is attractive in that it's made from common materials & is more stable/safer than Lithium. The press release doesn't say, so I assume it's not competitive in energy density per litre so I assume not.

Wikipedia has a comparison table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-ion_battery#Comparison but no idea how accurate/up to date it is.
It is not a "vehicle of desperation", it's just a cheap para-friendly way to move a 47kg gun around. The contemporary equivalent is bigger but still not that big: https://www.defense.gouv.fr/dga/actualites/qualification-du-...
I plan to switch to PinePhone and thought about this too
The board of openai ended up making a decision that destroyed billions of dollars worth of brand value and good will

Maybe I’m special or something, but nothing changed to me. I always wonder why people suddenly lose “trust” in a brand, as if it was a concrete of internal relationships or something. Everyone knows that “corporate” is probably a snakepit. When it comes out to public, it’s not a sign of anything, it just came out. Assuming there was nothing like that in all the brands you love is living with your eyes closed and ears cupped. There’s no “trust” in this specific sense, because corporate and ideological conflicts happen all the time. All OAI promises are still there, afaiu. No mission statements were changed. Except Sam trying to ignore these, also afaiu. Not saying the board is politically wise, but they drove the thing all this time and that’s all that matters. Personally I’m happy they aren’t looking like political snakes (at least that is my ignorant impression for the three days I know their names).
We have a lot of them in Gauteng, South Africa; even though they're classified as an invader species. They can only be in urban areas and aren't allowed to spread. They look nice but smell like pee.

A distributed naming system intended to work with mesh networks like GNUnet.

GNS does not support names which are simultaneously global, secure and human-readable. Instead, names are either global and not human-readable or not globally unique and human-readable. In GNS, each user manages their own zones and can delegate subdomains to zones managed by other users.

For example, ICANN could just create 'DNS zone' that would embed DNS as a zone into GNS.
I probably connected the number before their anti-voip policy was enacted. This is true in a number of places. They have no policy against using a voip number; they just hope you won't register one.

I might try a couple of things:

1. Call Capital One customer service and yell at them.

2. Go visit them in person somewhere and yell at them. Bring a phone that rings when they dial the number.

3. Register a carrier number with them, and then, behind Capital One's back, port that number to your Google Voice account.

> They wouldn’t let me activate a card with one.

You can activate a card by just going to the URL printed on the sticker attached to the card. No need to use any phone number.
LG WebOS forces you to accept Terms&Conditions to disable Voice Activation
Damn, that sounds so cool. But sounds like a hard task for a beginning career.
Perhaps because the 'route' to compliant trading in unregistered securities is to not trade in them?
it is also worth mentioning, that poe.com which is Quoras chatbot is competing with some of the newer OpenAi offerings, especially for creator monetization.
Combine that with the fact, that Adam D'Angelo has put apparently more than 40m USD in the Series B into the company while he has now a board seat at OpenAi...

I don't see how this kind of reasoning can possible hold up. How can board members not be invited to such an important decision? You can't say they don't have to be there because they won't be a board member after this decision; they're still a board member before the decision has been made to remove them.

If Ilya was on the side of Sam and Greg, the other 3 never had a majority. The only explanation is that Ilya voted with the other 3, possibly under pressure, and now regrets that decision. But even then it's weird to not invite Greg.

And if the vote happened in an illegitimate way, I'd expect Sam and Greg to immediately challenge it and ignore the decision, and that didn't happen.
This is very good. Unfortunately, (majority of) journals and conferences will probably never use it.

At least good for our own papers though.
I don't get it, how is OpenAI "dead"? Are you going to stop using ChatGPT or?
Honest question: is it normal for a business to be able to ask law enforcement "is this legal?" and expect to get a binding answer?

IANAL, but I would think it'd be the job of the business in question to hire lawyers, who would then offer their opinion on the matter.
stdout Is Not for Messages
The way I've seen it actually work (and I have been both PM and PO at the same time) is that the PO gets epics and possibly stories from the PM or director, and is responsible for fitting the most important epics into the next sprints.

Yes, it includes bs like being able to on the fly answer or estimate, when will this ticket from two months ago. And if you don't give an answer right away you're "not as on top of things as I would like".

PO is a garbage role. And in practice it is focused on backlogs and standups and sprint planning.

Usually PO is there for the non technical PM to not have to talk to engineering.
A wonder if a pound note actually meant a single pound (or just pound type, e.g. £5). It's a genuine question how it would be perceived in the UK, esp. when spoken by non Brit/Irish person.

It’s mostly just a summary of what those that were keenly watching hn/x since Friday already knew, with no original reporting and more questions than answers.
The one thing they all have in common is being AI safetyists, which Sam is not. I’d bet it’s something to do with that.
Well, if you are using the web version, there are ad blockers (e.g. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/spotify-ad-blocker-...)... Actually, if you're familiar with web tech, it's not that hard to write your own ad blocker, then you're not dependent on the extension provider updating it when Spotify changes the names of the HTML elements again. But I'm confident they are already working on a WASM/canvas-based version which would make such attempts much harder.
Yes, there is a better, more accurate method than my napkin math, which was only to provide a baseline most could understand to see we are well beyond the two nines
Sodium is extremely plentiful, while lithium is not.
There are two possible cases here.

1) Chop an ancient tree in a public park.

2) Chop an ancient tree in your property.

In the first case is often a case of wood thievery, a crime for profit. Can be also revenge (as in the sycamore gap) or just mental insanity.

In the second case can be a legal or illegal move. In some countries a centenary tree can't be chopped unless you ask for a special permit to the government. It the tree is a danger for historical or valuable structures, severe pruning or chopping can be allowed. If the tree has special historical, aesthetic or monumental value, the permit can be denied, even if the tree is in your property.

Your mileage may vary depending on the country.

That said, only an idiot would chop a centenary tree in their property if is not causing any serious problem to foundations or people. The presence of this tree will increase greatly the value of the property. Homes with trees have a much higher monetary value. Homes with ancient trees play in a special league of luxury.

It may even provide some special bonuses, like a decent fruit harvest each year, fertile soil, as touristic trap (see Beijin Ditan park Ginkgos, for example), or simply saving solid money on the energy bill of the house.
How hard would you try to teach them to use Typst?
It's made of sodium and iron, which together make up about 8% of the earth's crust, so yes, they chemistry is made of really common materials. By contrast lithium makes up about 0.002%.
As someone in New Zealand that's crazy. The ping to Europe is terrible. To the point that video calls to the UK are painful.
It's not possible to set a hard limit in macOS without third party utility like AlDente [1].

I was referring to the built-in "Optimised battery charging" feature. When this is active and has decided it will cap charging at 80% [2], you get a "charge to full now" option in the battery menu.

[2] I do agree that this feature sucks and rarely actually works, unless you have a very predictable charging schedule.
That pseudoprofound bullshit about automating art is the new version of the old ignorant chestnut of "If we can put a man on the moon why can't we just X?" Newsflash: there are vast differences in what is accomplishable. Self driving cars stalled out but not for lack of trying.
That’s assuming only a scant few have access to this technology over the decades it would take to rollout totalitarian controls.

Which, ironically, is what the regulator controls Ilya et al want would ensure.
Do you have a source to support your claim that a carbon tax, which is generally seen as an efficient way to reduce carbon emissions, would have no effect on the global climate and screw over the little guy?

I ask as a renter who doesn't own a car and would love to stop paying for other people's fancy electric SUV's and house retrofits that costs tens of thousands of Euro.
I see it somewhat different. The way I see it is that in a well stocked board (enough members and of sufficient gravitas) this decision would have never been made and if it would have been made it wouldn't have been made this way. The three outside board members found a gullible fourth and pushed their agenda with total disregard for the consequences because a window opened where they could. So they took their 15 minutes in the spotlight and threw out Sam, thinking they could replace him with someone more malleable or more to their liking. But the fact that they are the outside board members to begin with and that their action has utterly backfired puts the lie to their careful consideration and the case building against Sam, this is just personal. No board in its right mind would have acted like this and I'm relatively confident that if this all ends up in court it's going to end up with a lot of liability for the board members that do not defect and even the ones that defect may not be able to escape culpability: you are a board member for a reason, and you can't just wave a card that says 'I'm incompetent therefore I'm innocent'. Then you should have resigned your board seat. This stuff isn't for children.
