the worry is of course that in 300 years Mark Zuckerberg will be having his big pan-American birthday part and all the plebes get treated to a 30 minute newsblast about it while eating their gruel.

It's one thing to have music of lower quality, it's another to be old and dying and watching someone who was born a century before you gifted with youth and vitality. It's not hard to envision that situation if the rich have access to anti-aging.

As such it is a scenario basically based off what science fiction says will happen when anti-aging is available. And people feeling that yes, that is what will happen - which spurs their envy.

The envy of this potential future is an expression of the envy of current disparities in income and power heightened by a fear that the future will make those disparities more unbearable and less fixable than they currently are.
Also, depending on the market solar and wind get priority, so any energy generated is always sold.
The guy lives in Chile but the company is registered at Hong Kong.
So just add a little bit of noise back to the signal (this can be noise that sounds better than the original noise). Pink noise perhaps.
It's a Norwegian subsidiary of an American company. The market itself is operated by a Norwegian company, which no longer has any Finnish shareholders, as Fingrid sold its shares to Litgrid about a year ago.
I'm curious, you mention that you run several companies in your profile, are they ad-driven for their revenue?
Pretty sure those don't run on electricity.
Thanks, and yeah -- give it a go, it's a tonne of fun.

Also, you can call me for a quick 3 minute rant if a longer call feels like a commitment. In fact, I just finished my first rant today!
This talk is great in its revealing of history, does it in a very meaningful way. I had few romances with OCaml over the last two decades but never had a broad view on the different phases of its evolution. Anil provides a lot of insights about that here
and no mention of wayland support :-(
From what I understood about GIMPs development is that they have to purposefully make things "different" from photoshop so as to not get sued. Which makes going from PS to GIMP incredibly painful (I too, tried a few times).

I think if you come into GIMP fresh without using other tools it is probably beter.

I usually ended up relying on paint.net back in the day instead of GIMP on windows tho.
The Rule of Four: Heuristic for asynchronous technical communication
The US chose Ariane 5 to launch the James Webb Telescope, says it all, don't you think? ;)
It's extremely hard to make a company by any means, and there are already lots of regulations, and we need competition to make everything better. If you can think of a new regulation that would be a net benefit, propose it. But it's silly to annihilate the creation of new companies.
10 patients, but one dropped out, so 9. 6 were given a negligible dose for safety and one of these later died. One of the three remaining lied about heart issues and had a serious heart attack immediately after injection. So at best you have a sample size of two. Two people!!

Really not the promising study the title suggests.

"They plan to enroll ~40 more patients.

Meanwhile a new version of the therapy, VERVE-102, is in the works. The newcomer uses a similar base editing technology and an upgraded nanoparticle carrier with potentially better targeting.

The team plans to launch a randomized, placebo-controlled trial by 2025"

So that might be promising, albeit later.
It's actually particularly important that prices be able to go negative in an electricity market, because it's physically impossible to store electricity: it must be generated and consumed at the same moment. "Electricity storage" is shorthand for "conversion to and from a different kind of energy", which from the perspective of the grid is just a kind of consumption or generation. And if there is too much unused power on the grid, it will damage it.
Perhaps a stupid question, as I've never experienced this, but it sounds like the effect is most pronounced when noise cancelling is first engaged. Could you simply enable noise cancelling before putting on the headphones? And then perhaps place them onto your ears slowly?
It's not simply a holy land, it is also a historic burial site, so it is covered with graves that have historically simply been bulldozed over
That would be true if the government instutition in charge of determining actual inflation wasn't fudging the numbers. I was actually suprised to see people discussing this interest increase like it means something.
is not doing it more fair?
Yes and I would join a company/startup/whatever far earlier instead of passing so much time in university (not that I think the degree was not worth it, I would just start working asap and taking the courses as part-time student).
As someone who went through the same experience it'd take a lot for me to even think about touching GIMP again. I'm sure that it's a viable Photoshop alternative but any functionality is obscured under a web of riddles.

Blender's UI used to be nightmarish and backwards for any newcomer (why would they make right click select things instead of left??), but as someone who's tinkered with it over the last decade the UI changes introduced in 2.8 finally made things comprehensible. GIMP needs much the same, but I doubt it'll happen until a wider community (or some industry) incentivise it.
Pantheon is great. I had almost given up on good SF in visual media when this was recommended to me.
Why not? Why don't we give children the right to vote? (even if delegated to their parents - might help with failing demographics too). What is the rationale behind the current rules anyway
They are spending money to make more money later.
whats the rationale for writing technical documentation like its a series of casual text messages
What does the staging area has to do with tests?
Everything is important.

Companies that lease vehicles for fuel to be transported are incredibly important. So are their drivers. So are cleaners in hopsitals. So are cell phone tower operators. So are shipping companies. So are computer monitor manufacturers.

Do we nationalise everything?
Yes the common argument is about the UI and which one where that Blender and Krita are both the new kids on the block. They were started from scratch with the ability to have a clean UI.

GIMP not so. Its an ancient carved releic from the days of GTK2. If you've ever worked with old X you'll know.

Back then UI was in a different world than to what we have now. It's unfortunate that the UI of GIMP just never has been rekindled to the newer century, but that's a you problem not a them problem.

However saying that, nothing is stopping you from spear driving the new GUI design. It's open source after all.
What kind of tax is calculated on a negative rate?

Some flat fee?
This sort of thing has been weighing on my mind of late. The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that this is why the stars aren’t full of spaceships.

And I’m an optimist. But bear with me.

We are at the point where we, as a society/species, are utterly dependent on technology. I live in the centre of Canberra, the capital of Australia, and if the power went out tomorrow, I’m not sure how long the food supplies would last.

Because when I say power, I mean all the power, everywhere, forever. This is what happens if a ginormous solar storm hits us for more than a few minutes.

Everything is gone forever. All transformers are blown. All electronics are fried. All satellites are gone. All terrestrial communications is gone. People can’t start engines. We can’t pump petrol. We can’t pump water.

And crucially, we can’t fix anything. Because without transformers, nobody knows how to build new transformers.

So we’ve built this society that can’t function without these things. I mean we got a bad flu and people lost their shit looting toilet paper. Imagine what happens when there’s no power.

If your family is more than 200 miles away you never, ever see them again.

This only has to happen at some point in the next 200 years and humanity is back in the Victorian era. Except we all kill each other and we’ve lost all the basic skills, so it’s worse than that.

And we’re not special. We’re just a bunch of genes on an ordinary planet. I don’t see why this wouldn’t happen to every species everywhere.

Anyway. Speculation of course. But if I was a cosmic gambler, I’d go all-in on this sort of thing. It just seems obvious.
No, this is just an observation on the competence of government, a common theme of Dick’s.
> If they are only a financial company, seize the totality of their asset and transfer their clients to a true company that really create value.

Financial companies create value. People generally pay for things they want, unless the government have messed up and allowed a monopoly position to arise.

It seems like people are really stretching here. Q-learning has been a thing for a while now. And in optimization of X, Q, etc. the star is just used to mean the optimal value.

Except when your state provided healthcare ends up inadequate and you find out there are no other options.

Except when your family member ends up uninsured and you find out insurance is actually tied to employment, just like in the US.

Except when you need dental care which costs as much as in the US, but your salary is 4x lower and taxes 2x higher.
1. Yes.

2. Yes, mostly the same way I did it the first time - by learning Python first and then building weird things with it a lot. (I would ask GPT a lot of questions.)
Just wait, these things only start out ironic…
Arianespace cannot afford to experiment like SpaceX can, hence they take their time to make sure the first launch will be a customer launch that has a high likelihood of being successful.
It sounds like the government might have understood it as a termite invasion.
Oh, I missed the line with the `check` keyword and misinterpreted the comment I replied to. Yes, it is indeed very strange.
On my journey healing trauma I find that it is when I feel a deep sadness that I feel more alive.

Gabor Maté confirms that grief is ultimately how we heal trauma. Sadness is an emotion that lets us move from the past. A way of saying "goodbye".

Crucially we can be stuck for years on end not allowing ourselves to grieve.

For childhood trauma for example it is quite challenging... you're grieving the loss of a father, mother that were never there physically or emotionally. Grieving the loss of safety, of a home that never was. Grieving all the things that didn't come to pass... but unfortunately grieving is necessary.

I've often felt a sense of melancholy in my younger years long before I looked into the nervous system and modern body-based trauma therapies like Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory etc.

So my hunch is while melancholy feels good at some level, it can also be like a stuck state. Like halfway through grieving but not really allowing yourself to grieve fully and move on. But I could be wrong and perhaps melancholy is a thing of its own. Grief certainly is very challenging as it comes in waves and is never really gone, it seems.
What distinguishes the Top 1% of product managers from the Top 10%? (2022)
I do that too (except I use a soft checkout instead of —hard, I prefer to review and delete the reset changes myself).

I tried using git worktree for a while when working on multiple branches, but it’s a pain to use… Stashing is easier.
Like unsupp0rted said, access to credit is severely limited.

One example. For new car loans, for the price bracket most normal cars are in (800,000 to 1,200,000 try.these are your < 1.6lt commuters) you can get a loan for 30% of the value of the car and the term is 24 months max. For the next bracket it's 20%. The next bracket is over 2,000,000 try and 0% which is basically all cars with an engine larger than 1.6lt and some that aren't. (Excepting electrics I think). I am no math guru but that 0% of the value of the car is probably another word for no loan at all. :)
I thought I'd accidentally opened up OSMAnd on my car's screen the first time this new color palette changed.

Turns out OSMAnd still looks better
What is the probability that this will result in a scenario where we are playing God? And if that probability is even moderately nonzero, like >= 5%, can we really afford to take that chance?

> I still think of gimp as one of the worst UX experiences in my life and it makes blenders interface seem amazing in comparison

I never get the comments like this I see about Blender. After the 2.8 redesign, on which the major versions after it have only improved, I felt that the program is really good to use. Well, I'm a Blenderer, I know the basic Blender keybinds. If I didn't, the experience would be much worse. But once you know about shift+a, tab, and x, using the program should be no problem. I feel that the UI is pretty intuitive and internally consistent.

But this is just my experience... Maybe some have a harder time forming intuitions.
It's a pain point for people who want to see it succeed. It's like the mole guy from Austin powers. Just because it's free doesn't make it good enough. It's not hard to pirate Photoshop, which is also free. Krita is a better Photoshop replacement than gimp is.
I genuinely want to understand this mindset. Are you only against things that help extend lifespan a very large amount, or is it more nuanced?

80 years was only achieved recently because of various quality of life and medical advances. Do you feel that those are 'ok' for other reasons, or for example, that things that cure cancer, HIV, or better sanitation that increase lifespan should also be repealed if it was up to you? Or do you feel we just happen to have the perfect amount of life-extending conditions at this exact moment?
That's why I said titanium alloys specifically. With such a large-scale industrial transformation, definitely many alloys would be explored, to fit the needs of new industries. We don't use pure iron for any serious applications either.
> The big difference is that ESA is essentially a government entity, much like NASA

The relationship between ESA and Arianespace is not necessarily that fundamentally different to that of NASA and SpaceX. Arianespace is only partially state owned (it's a join venture of two publicaclly traded companies) and in some ways it was the SpaceX of the 80s and 90s.Ariane 4 was very competitive and at some point had the majority of the commercial satellite launch market.

Of course like the rest of Europe stagnation has set in and it was left behind over the last 10-20 years.

> Without batting an eyelash.

I'm surprised he didn't misconstrue his own prose.
I'm not sure what your point is (other than the requisite "it's OSS so fix it yourself" brain-dead take). Like I said, the UI is bad. We all know the UI is bad. Whats the point in GP expressing fake surprise when people say "the UI is bad"?
I'm not sure what qualifies as a cold lead here, but I've had ca. 150 calls so far. I reached out to people directly only twice with 50% success rate.

This comment seemed to generate 1k visits to my site, from and 2 called booked for Tuesday.

Most of my calls are 30m coffee chats (I'd say close to 90%).

Rants are quite rare and people tend to cancel those last minute. My theory is behind this is that the decision to book a call is more likely to be driven by emotions.

Rants rarely end up being rants. For instance, the first one I had ended up being a 2 hour discussion about life, privacy, cryptography, tech + a century-long and hemisphere-wide family history in English and Ukrainian.

There's not much in those screenshots that doesn't look like it was done with a normal slicer or couldn't be banged out in five minutes in Notepad in raw gcode. Like one of them seems to just be some gyroid infill with walls and roofs set to zero.
> entrepreneurial people will still want to create stuff and they will but they'll have to care more about how they do it.

More likely they’ll just go to some place that allows them to do it.
I think the reaction is at least partially based on the loss of precisely that certainty: there is a sense of comfort in that no matter how unacceptable someone’s actions or ideas are to us, they will die, regardless of who they are — eventually. The thought of that eventuality becoming unusually distant in the future threatens that comfort. Doubly so when only the powerful will live longer, which will come first, everyone seems to agree.
Sounds quite a bit like the EU itself.
>"There is a misconception that innovation comes mainly from the private sector. Its the opposite: innovation comes from the public sector."

Is there any evidence for this other than opinion pieces?

Asking sincerely.

I see arguments for both sides being the source of most innovation, but haven't seen real, valid, data-driven evidence. Granted, I haven't looked much. I have my own opinion, but want more evidence, for both arguments.
As a darktable user, I have to say none of that would motivate me to switch.

But then I care about the results, a nice picture to print or look at on a screen, way way more than about the tools used to get that result. Goes for cameras and lenses and whatnot as well.
He’s a fascinating author to read the corpus of, in chronological order. You can see the man, quite clearly, and how he goes from chipper 50’s pulp writer to new wave prophet of banal doom, step by reality-shattering step. Some of his earlier work like “Beyond Lies the Wub” hints at what would later come, with the theme of existential query and horror.

The man had a truly brilliant mind. His final works, up to and including his death, are the most concinnous possible conclusion to the arc of a life he could have executed. He lived his art.

The parks, forests, fields, and woodlands around me now are all the same colour. At least to my eyes it's just a sea of mint-coloured blobs with no distinction whatsoever...

I don't see a single improvement with the new colour scheme, the lack of contrast also makes the built area around me almost fade into the mint-coloured blobs.

- no threads (isolates are much more limited)

- no value types

- missing fundamental integer types (eg. 64 bit unsigned integer)

- no data classes (records are anonymous)

- no tagged unions

- no static metaprogramming (macros coming soon)

- limited constructors (initializer list expression can't use earlier values in the list, no object initializers)

List<int> is still too often used in APIs instead of Uint8List, even though it has 8x overhead.

Slower than C#, Java, Kotlin & Go. Performance is same as JS (even though it's statically-typed, AOT compiled language).
maybe they're trying to entice someone with keen documentation knowledge to their project by means of git collaboration?

hint hint.
I think this is a wonderful gesture by Tesla and should be encouraged by the OSS community. It looks pretty complete to me, but even if it's missing some items (CAD files?) it's still a move in the right direction. My wish would be that making information available for older products becomes a norm (again?). This makes keeping things working so much easier and is good for the planet. This is a win-win in my book!
Define "playing God".
Are you thinking of netmap?
Plastic cases flexing can damage the electronics inside hence most of the Apple stuff being metal.
Ubuntu is not that lean either. Something like Debian may fair better here.

There are also distros like Clear Linux that are extremely lean and efficient. Unfortunately that particular one is owned by Intel :(

"Playing God" is the point of all advancement. We're already doing it, and we'd better get good at it.
I chatted briefly to overtone.ai a few weeks ago, heading back to the hotel from a conference. What they do is train an existing LLM model to detect things about the text (overtones, I suppose you might say). What's interesting in this context is that they train the AI using an English corpus, but once trained the AI is able to detect the same traits in other languages.

This sounds quite different from compression.

In the ideal world, anti-aging therapy that works well actually reduces this problem. Healthy older people can work, reducing the economic stress on the younger part of the population. The costs of the therapy may actually incentivize them to do so.

This is what I came here for too. In the past I got an impression that Gimp 3 will run on Wayland as it's based on GTK 3, source: https://www.gimp.org/news/2020/11/06/gimp-2-99-2-released/

Yeah GIMP has it's issues but GP is influenced by vendor lock-in.

Better example is Inkspace (because it is more comparable to closed-source alternatives): transition from Corel Draw to Inkspace is much easier then from Adobe Illustrator.

I feel GP's pain, I'm in same situation ...but there are different UX/UI paradigms.
