Yes I can truly say that reading the book directly lead to the wealth I have today. I just wish I had read the book 10 years earlier.

However you are right you need some (modest) level of income to apply the ideas in the book. It is not for “poor students” :)
It would also be useful to mention the POSIX API for shared memory, which is based on memory-mapped files neatly located under /dev/shm.
I like qtmn's short stories so much I bought the book Valuable Humans in Transit and Other Stories!

Sure, tell that to people of Ukraine.
Having done pretty much this a lifetime ago: A lot of the first level bug support work is basically deduplication (Incl "have you tried...") and asking for aditional/specific information. Excessively browsing a bug tracker is one of the best qualifications, and if you're doing so anyway, why not also help a few lost users here and there? At least that's where it starts... :D
Regardless of that hypothesis, this experiment was a huge success.

> Am I especially good at writing? Not in my opinion.

You’re an excellent writer.
If you design your abstractions correctly, you can get the best of both worlds.

You can create a simple Matrix type which stores single array, with a subscript operator that gives a 2D facade. It can let you call it with x/y pairs, but just lower that to an index into your single contiguous buffer.
> The file extension bit is sort of silly as well, as, it's what made Windows as user-friendly and wide spread as it is today.

Are you sure? To me it looks like Windows got popular in spite of glaring security decisions, not because of them.

I don't really think technical writers are held in same contempt as project managers. They don't make life hell for engineers without knowing shit. At least they understand the tech more than project manager who just tries to move tickets and create meaningless metrics.

On the other hand, why would you hire English majors without any technical background for technical writing? At least you should give them some training before letting them work.
Yeah but you can only do that if you can borrow more money. You have to show capacity to pay even if you’re using equity as collateral and expect rental income.

I think maybe the “use equity to buy investment properties” advice was popular when lending was super loose prior to the GFC and maybe some dodgy brothers mortgage brokers are still getting them through but without an increase in income you can’t just ratchet up your leverage (at least not anymore, I know 10-15 years ago everyone said that you could do this but I didn’t own a house at the time so I don’t know if it’s actually true or just hype sold by investment gurus flogging overpriced Gold Coast apartments).

I'm not a developer, but what can be done in the future to prevent this from happening on a wider scale? Have search engines index verified photographs from key news + historical sources? Do they mark down results including "AI generated"?

Do we treat the internet like low-background steel[1] and prioritise anything from before 2020?

My experience with something similar was seeing an image someone posted on a history subreddit early in the year, apparently it was a picture of a prominent Indian ruler from the 1800s. If it wasn't for someone saying they had never saw a photo of them before, the OP wouldn't have chimed in and casually said it was an AI generated image. But from here on out I can imagine people stumbling onto that image if they simply searched him online, get a glimpse, and have no idea it was fabricated.

Also there's a lot of advantages of play-based open-ended learning especially at that age. That's what we've focused on instead of trying to put our kid through a curriculum or stuffing facts in their brain. (That said... he does seem to have the ability to memorize a lot of random dinosaur, insect, and LEGO facts anyway)
"The Room" is my favorite series of no-bullshit games. Buy it, get n hours of enjoyment from solving the puzzles, move on. Then replay a few years later after you've forgotten more than half of it.

Also try Disc Brick. It's what I play on airplanes while listening to podcasts.

> IME, it's mostly regular; there are patterns (pronunciation of "ou" in the middle of a word, "tion" at the end of a word, adding "ing" to a word), but there are also exceptions (plural of mouse vs plural of spouse).

A screen is just a tool. It’s up to the parent how they will use this tool - for education, or just for keeping the kid busy. A child does not know that you can watch cartoons on your mobile until you show it to them. Until this point a mobile screen can be whatever you want it to be.
let me add to this -

it is a pretty cool project! and useful if one knows entirely what it is doing and not for the masses - in the same way an uncensored AI would be useful for folks entirely aware of the potential gibberish it could generate.

Who ever said that the computer doing the simulation is working under laws of physics that are identical to our own? There are plenty of sets of physical laws that would support such a simulation, and a great many of them are entire computational complexity categories stronger than our own - consider, for example, a reality that is truly real-valued, rather than approximately real-valued with some semi-bounded probabilistic error. And then it's not "tiling some large fraction of reality" that's needed; if you go up a few alephs you end up with computers where our experienced reality falls out of people noodling and with stuff like "run all discrete programs with length less than N bytes" the same way we do things like compute the error of the fast inverse square root for all 32 bit floats.
Raskin's version of Tog's point (in the article) is more nuanced - switching between keyboard and mouse is the expensive thing and even more "perceptually underreported" than either of them on their own.

(That said, my workflow involves cloning as often as a couple of times a day if things are going well; SSD space is basically free, and --reference-if-able means a clone-per-branch is cheap, and my "work on this" script spins up a docker image and a fresh build too, after cloning and switching. So, while the described shortcuts would make sense in my "world", I've already automated way beyond that :-)
I didn't even use Apollo: I was hooked on the official iOS app. And used the blackout to kick the habit. Haven't looked back since. _Some_ of the free time I got back has now gone towards youtube shorts, but since those really requires headphones, I can keep it to a much smaller percentage of my free time. Instead, I bought a subscription to a local news paper, you know, for when you're on the loo and need something to read. I feel I'm better informed now than when I was reading reddit compusively.
Just came to say that it's the fox that jumps over the dog, not vice-versa ;-)

Are deep learning and neural networks just curve fitting? I thought those were significantly different.
In practice subs are always growing while there's activity on it, because barely anyone ever leaves a subreddit.
Every permit has a limited time it can be open. You are not allowed to begin working until you open the permit. Each permit is very, very expensive. Let's say I wanted to remodel my bathroom in two stages: first sink and floor and toilet, next year shower and fan. I would need electrical permits both times (>$500 each with inspections), plumbing permits both times (>$500 both times), mechanical permit (>$200), "remodel permit" at least the second if not both ($300 + 1/3 of "equivalent cost for the full job if a contractor were doing it"). So massive financial penalty to doing it piecemeal.

I wanted to move some non-load-bearing walls. To grant a permit, the city required I provide full blueprints for the entire house including the slab and foundation; documents they themselves didn't have when the house was actually built from the ground in 1950 nor when it gained a new floor in the 1960s.

Every time you open a permit, everything you touch has to be brought up to that year's code. You installed wiring in 2011 under the first permit but by 2020 they have new requirements and so you have to redo it because you want to add one outlet to the end that would have been considered perfectly safe in 2011 (and still is under any reasonable cost-benefit analysis).

Layers and layers of regulatory capture and revenue generation have made it financially infeasible to build houses gradually while compliant with the law. My city has somebody driving around trying to catch you working without a permit.
I agree, it's a tough decision and very few options. Me and my wife have been keeping an eye on it as we need a fallback if South Africa ever has a meltdown.
>This is too simplistic, in order to criticize Prop 13 it is important to understand why it came to be.

It's that a bunch of middle class people in the post-war auto-boom bought up extremely valuable property adjacent to the ocean, and then when everyone could afford a car, they didn't want to redevelop their own land.

There's no reason that justifies Prop 13 beyond NIMBYism. America decided it wanted suburbia instead of incremental development, so it banned multifamily housing. Then California realized that doing that would (obviously) force people out of their homes when property taxes started skyrocketing... so they just voted in a fucking seniority system. It was selfish, bad policy then, and it's selfish, bad policy today.
Subscribing to Apple Arcade is another solution to the same problem. You probably end up paying for games anyway if you want to avoid microtransactions, ads and dark patterns.
Absolutely - the simulation hypothesis is basically identical to belief in God, you’ve got an omnipotent being that exists outside the universe (God or the creators of the simulation) and created it. Any of the supernatural elements are totally possible when something that exists outside the universe can change its rules arbitrarily. The only difference is whether the omnipotent being wants you to covet your neighbours ox.

Extend this to Roko’s Basilisk and it’s even more similar - instead of getting tortured in hell for eternity for coveting the ox you get tortured in cyberspace for eternity for not working on the AI.
Does it have something to do with the subpixel layout? That is a major difference between manufacturers.
A lot of them got added to Apple Arcade and Netflix Games (aside from Minecraft my kids are only allowed games from these 2 services, as I know they don’t contain ads and IAPs).

I have been very happy with Arq [1], have been using it since 2014. Incremental encrypted backups, many targets (SSH, S3, B2, etc.), etc. I restored files from backups many times. I also use Arq with object lock, so that my backups are immutable for a while.

The developer also really listens to users. In Arq 6, the Mac and Windows UI were done in Electron. Users didn't like it and they switched the UI back to native in Arq 7.

> If you bought a house for $10.00 and paid $100.00/month, it'd still be worth it even if none of that went to the principal. Heck, even if your house became worthless too, it'd still be worth it!

Paying off an interest only loan on a property may well be better than renting but it’s more like renting than paying principal + interest.

When you pay off an interest only loan your “rent” costs are your entire mortgage payment.

When you’re paying principal + interest the “rent” is still only the interest portion of your payment.

In both cases you keep pace with the market better than if you’re renting.

If the only way you could avoid renting were to get an interest only loan then that’s certainly a better option.

> Is there a reason to believe that it's a net benefit regardless of the interest rate?

Yes renting is objectively the worst possible financial situation regardless of interest rate (definitely true in Australia, possibly true elsewhere as well).

In Palo Alto, and the wider bay area I visit bars and restaurants often with small "card only" signs which I have learned to spot early. I do not always spot them, and get a bill and am suddenly asked to pay with a card, often having to pay a friend cash to cover for me.

A couple times I just tipped extra to get an employee to pay with a card for me.
> We don't need to use psychological tricks to make people consume more.

It’s not a psychological trick, when prices are increasing at a stable and predictable rate it’s perfectly rational to spend more instead of saving. Which is good for economic growth.

In many way the economy has been inherently deflationary over the past several decades. Due to growing productivity the cost of certain goods and services has been going down consistently. The outcome being that in sectors which this doesn’t happen due to scarcity or other reasons like housing prices have been going up at significantly higher pace.

I’m not sure reducing inflation to 0% would helpful for that considering the context. Price growth might slow down at the cost of slower real GDP growth but that’s probably not ideal either.
I have small case with this router, ethernet cable and usb cable for phone.

So it really depends where I am, so I can choose between USB, ethernet or wifi.

But I think most use for me have been USB tethering in my home country (unlimited mobile data).

I just like how router does adblocking (Adguard Home DNS) and VPN with wireguard/tailscale.
Yeah, this guy sounds like a real spoiled always-had-his-way i-am-the-main-character ass. Due to a family situation I've definitely had to make choices in the last few years that weren't what I imagined, but I'm not gonna say shit like "Fate has spoken, and my values have answered". I made the decisions I made because I love my family would rather do things differently and help how I can then miss out on times I'll never get a chance at again. It just doesn't seem like this guy really cares about anyone but himself.
Most discussions about status tend to pick one dimension - e.g. middle class lifestyle - and argue a strawman generalisation about what "we" strive for.

Status measurement strongly depends on the group we are trying to compete within. A lead guitarist can say they hate money while still striving for status as a musician.

Geeks definitely have their own status games. Petrol-heads play different status games than librarians or artists or executives or academics.

Many people say they are not status conscious, but that is often just an indication that they are playing an alternative status game than the socially standard one.

It is easier to see status games that people in other social groups compete for (hilarity is one signal). Our own status drives are often hidden to ourselves.

Also sometimes people choose not to play competitively: which means they are less aware of the skills of the games as played by others.

I definitely try to rebel against status norms - but counter-signalling is also a status play by the advanced competitor. Muddy!
companies often find themselves using more than 1 tool that generates alerts, for instance when Datadog is not sufficient (lacking some integration, need some other dashboard capability, etc.).

Grafana Observability survey mentioned that 52% of companies who answered the survey use more than 6(!) different observability tools.[1]

let's leave the fact that Datadog itself expensive as hell and the fact that organizations do move towards consolidations with observability-it's never enough alone.

I'm not sure they should be promoting this as a device that is suitable for disaster response. They also don't mention the total cost of ownership upfront. Seems like their initial arguement is hinged on the cost of Windows and other licences and they don't really compare themselves to something like Chrome OS.

Civ is heavily rooted in a certain "classical" view of history, in which generals' tactical brilliance is what determines history.

So I understand why they wanted to make room for actual tactics.

If that comes at the cost of archers being able to shoot a bunch of gatling gunners across the English channel without them having the reach to shoot back, then so be it.
Aren't you still assuming that the monthly payment is the same for mortgage vs. rent? When they're the same, obviously buying is better. But the entire point I was making with my example was that those aren't necessarily the same, so you can't just say "renting is worse" without comparing the numbers...
I'm craving this type of content but in video format. Something along the lines of MIT/Stanford courses but focuses on "Do your own X". Most youtube content I'm aware of is focused on entertainment while coding and I find it distracting.
Buddhist countries (Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia) have a West-like kinship intensity index. So, hmm, no. You can do better (as better than Muslim like countries and the Western individualistic societies).
Primary keys have to be chosen carefully because they impact disk layout, joins, etc, and full random makes bad PKs in certain distributed DBs. But it's simple and cheap to convert a public user ID (full random) to/from internal row keys (sequential-ish) at the API boundaries using a secondary index or even a cache.

Lemmy.world has 143k users. For comparison, a now-banned snuff film subreddit made their own website, and it has over 1M users. Lemmy and similar platforms just aren't very appealing to the hordes of people who left reddit. Those users are getting their dopamine fix from somewhere else.

The difference is, LLMs are way better than most humans at impressing gullible morons, even highly intelligent gullible morons. In truth it's only an incomprehensible statistical model that does what it's told to do, without agency, motivation or ideas. Smart people have build something, they themselves cannot fully understand and the results remind me a lot of what Weizenbaum said about eliza: "I had not realized ... that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people."

I imagine that will be the upcoming drama after the looming "payout reddit karma" drama passes over. Reddit's been hostile to NSFW posts and I think at some point soon-ish (1-2 years) they are going to pull a tumblr as well. That will be when the site really starts to die.

I just hope the fediverse or any other alternative is preparing itself for that next big drama. Because I feel it's a matter of when at this point, not if.
Where individuals willingly share their most sensitive personal information across various online applications and services, it's become an expectation that businesses must safeguard this data during every interaction and transaction.

According to Gartner report, by 2023, 80% of businesses that fail to embrace a contemporary security approach are likely to encounter heightened operational costs and reduced effectiveness in responding to cyber threats. This underscores a clear reality: businesses that don't stay abreast of modern security technologies are falling.

If concerns about security are compelling you to reevaluate your development approach, you're probably contemplating the choice between DevOps and DevSecOps. You're likely also exploring strategies to integrate security practices into your software delivery workflows seamlessly.

This isn't a spaceship mowing the lawn. The author has a child who needs love, support, nurturing, education, understanding, etc. not just stroller pushing.
