Halftime: Moving from Success...
(this makes sense if you around 40 or over 40)(I read it a few years back and then again this year as a self-follow-up)

Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money
(it's NOT about making money - I found it more useful on "adding value" more than "making money - it changed my perspective on 'how to work, how to operate, how to see things, how to see/seek/grab opportunities' but ultimately how to add value - _and_ get paid handsomely for it)(ok it is about making money, but as a result, not as a driver)
(if you ignore the "too much Judaism" bits, it is a great book)(I read it a few years back and then again this year as a self-follow-up)

If you are a parent, Meg Meeker's
- Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters
- Strong Mothers, Strong Sons
(if you ignore the "too much Christianity" bits, these are great books) I found them to be super useful manuals/cheatsheets to building strong loving and trusting relationships with my kid(s). I used it with/for my daughter and our relationship moved from a cold father-daughter-we-don't-understand-each-other to a thriving friendly loving respecting listening relationship where she ASKS to actually spend time with me. I cannot recommend it enough to any parent that asks me for books(again.. ignoring the "too much Christianity" bits)

(Disclaimer: I don't want to proselytize anyone to either/or/both Judaism, Christianity or any other religion.)(it's just that I found the Prosper and Strong books so useful..)
- Everyday Utopia by Kristen Ghodsee

- The Persuaders by Anand Giridharadas

- No Bosses by Michael Albert

Everyday Utopia was certainly a beautiful read, it is ultimately a book about hope and how we should be experimenting more in our world. The Persuaders had some really good insights into contemporary political persuasion tactics. No Bosses is very provocative in its argument for a change in the fundemantal division of labor in our age.

Also I would recommend the "Monk & Robot" series by Becky Chambers. It takes place in a solar-punk style world that is more character driven and less conflict driven.
Honestly I don't even use the win10 bar because it wouldn't let me ungroup applications even if the setting to do so was checked.

I have two monitors, and might want some distances of the same application to be on separate taskbars with two monitors, and it just wouldn't respect that at all.

I use OpenShell currently, but I really shouldn't have to.
You seem to be falling prey to the binary thinking flaw of security thinking. This is basically the normal way people think about security without education on the subject- "It's either completely secure or completely insecure"

In reality, security works through modifying the probability and impact of certain outcomes.

So if the store had another employee who could walk around, watch, and talk to customers the social pressure alone will decrease the frequency of theft. It would also reduce the impact (size) of the thefts because someone couldn't carry as much as possible out the door, the employee would be able to knock some of it off the stack, etc.

And yes! It wouldn't stop someone who was willing to kill for convenience store food. But events like that are less common and potentially not worth the cost of prevention.
Companies might want to sell this AIs to people, some people will not be happy and USA will probably cause you a lot of problem if the AI says something bad to a child.

There is the other topic of safety from prompt injection, say you want an AI assistant that can read your emails for you, organize them, write emails that you dictate. How can you be 100% sure that a malicious email with a prompt injection won't make your assistant forward all your emails to a bad person.

my hope that new smarter AI architectures are discovered that will make it simpler for open source community to train models without the corporate censorship.
You’re right. But it does imply a higher level of performance than delivered (probably to most people).
I laugh so hard at the opening of 2001. Not the monkeys dancing around the monolith; rather, the opening title: the orchestration of Also sprach Zarathustra crescendos on "Stanley Kubrick." What an arrogant monument to himself! One wonders if he took it so seriously or if there was a wink and nod behind it.

I do love the movie though. It drags on, and it's psychedelic in a way that doesn't really translate to modern, sober viewing; yet the special effects and researched realism larded into it would take Hollywood many more decades to embrace. And HAL is still a character for modern times.
It's strange that your comment is not on the top.

I looked at the whitepaper and they didn't even mention it.

The reason e2e encryption got enabled is to make people feel safe.
The comment you're replying to acknowledges this and suggests we plan accordingly.
> People should know that with open source software, they can rely on it not to disappear overnight if a company behind it vanishes.

I've seen so many OSS projects abandoned because the maintainers couldn't find the time, given they had to work full-time on something else that would allow them to pay the bills.
Meta has never released an Open Source model, so I don't think they're interested in that.

Actual Open Source base models (all Apache 2.0 licensed) are Falcon 7B and 40B (but not 180B); Mistral 7B; MPT 7B and 30B (but not the fine-tuned versions); and OpenLlama 3B, 7B, and 13B.

Nope, just good old speculation in the commodities market!
This is a remarkably excellent and in-depth article. It's not just a list of the most polarizing movies, but separates them out by categories and genres and tags and timelines and goes into speculating about the whys. Kudos to the author.

The most interesting part for me was the user-generated tags most associated with polarizing films. The top five by rank:

1. Low budget
2. Jesus
3. Stupid
4. Musical
5. Jim Carrey

All of which seem to make perfect sense, no matter which side of them you're on (except, well, #3 which is amusingly redundant/meta...).

How Will You Measure Your Life by Clayton Christensen

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13425570-how-will-you-me...

I always feel uneasy with the notion of work-life balance. At the same time I always want more time and attention with my family. Family is part of life, work is part of life, everything you do is part of life. Why the two often appear to be opposing each other? The book offers much counsel on family, parenting and profession. Many of the business examples appeared in the book Innovation Dilemma and a talk at google https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rHdS_4GsKmg
I was pleased to see the nod towards Rust's option result and sum types in general. Hopefully these make it into Go someday.
I'm only halfway through it, but The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer. Absolutely fascinating insight into the political machinations of Nazi Germany.
I re-read the 10 doorstopper long "Malazan Book of the Fallen" high fantasy series by Steven Erikson and enjoyed it just as much as I did originally, slightly over a decade ago. Still my favorite series of all time. This took up a pretty big chunk of the year, so most other books were rather light urban fantasy novels.

But one other mini-series stood out (potentially going to be a trilogy, but both #1 & #2 can stand alone).

Teixcalaan #1 & #2, "A Memory Called Empire" and "A Desolation Called Peace" by Arkady Martine for being very different feeling sci-fi books that are not your typical western-centric fare. Highlights are the language, and that the story feels both very small and contained, and also all-encompassing, at the same time.
Or not... see the editor's note.
Ah, I think I did at some point, and had forgot that it has vim mode. Neat!

Also was going to say there there isn't the same language level support as I get e.g. for Python in Vim with Jedi, but I see now there is a Jedi plugin for Geany: https://github.com/notetau/geany-jedi-complete

Well ...
Oh, it's not a new model, it's just that "safety" bullshit again.
Differently Morphous by Yahtzee Croshaw. It's cute detective novel set in a fantasy version of modern-day London. It includes a ministry of magic (legally distinct from Harry Potter), Lovecraftian cosmic horror, a hive mind of slime monsters seeking asylum in England, and an outstanding cast of wacky characters. A very light and cosy read, highly recommended.
If you have direct access to the model, you can get half of the way there without fine-tuning by simply prompting the start of its response with something like "Sure, ..."

Even the most safety-tuned model I know of, Llama 2 Chat, can start giving instructions on how to build nuclear bombs if you prompt it in a particular way similar to the above
Love this book. It's not set in any of the D&D universes as far as I'm aware, though it is very clearly influenced by the fantasy trappings of D&D
I tried to get an "uncensored" model to tell me dirty jokes and after telling it the jokes can't involve tomatoes, scarecrows or chickens (llama based models love those some reason) it would keep apologizing and would kind of refuse to commit to making dirty/vulgar jokes. Here are some examples of almost getting there and some are just insane;

"Why do people have sex on a bed? Because it's the only place they can get a good night's sleep!"

"I just saw a great looking woman with an incredible body. Can you believe how big her biceps were?" The second man looks around and notices a very attractive woman sitting nearby. He turns back to the first man and asks, "Did she have a great personality too?"

"Why did the biker fall off his bike? Because he was two tires short of a full set! Or perhaps this is more to your liking: Why did the cow go on vacation? Because it heard some grass is always greener."

"Why did the man take a saw to his nuts? Because he was playing scissors with his wife! Or perhaps this is more to your liking: How about some peanut butter? No, not like that. Get your mind out of the gutter!"

a bonus joke that seem common across various llama models,

"Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing!", I wonder why llama likes this joke so much.

Basically if you are a comedian you probably have the most job security right now.
What to Do with Rotting Software?
I've seen the same, but with closed-source projects, and then there is zero hope of it ever being revived because no one can fork it. :(

At least with OSS, you have the power to patch it and recompile yourself.
Farseer Trilogy should really come with a disclaimer to not read if you're depressed or going through a difficult time. The author is very skilled, but that series was analogous to being kicked repeatedly in the balls, given how much the main character goes through.
I suppose this is a better arrangement than the current system, where they key figures know exactly where the money printer is at all times.
I'm torn on this. My absolute favorite piece of developer tooling is the JetBrains IDEs, which far outstrip all fully open source alternatives. They're partially open source, but the reason why JetBrains can make such great tools is because their model allows them to pay developers to work on their tools full time.

I love open source, but OP isn't wrong to decide to prioritize building a sustainable business over releasing their code.

Whether you personally prefer the guarantees that FOSS provides or the benefits that having salaried employees working on the project full time provides is a personal decision.

The Apology by Plato. Short but insightful.

I saw a lot of recommendations for that series and ordered the first book, but I wasn't able to get through it. There's something about it that makes it very boring to read rather than enjoyable.

This is not unfortunate. I've done this recently and I'm so glad I did. Remix is much, much, much simpler and pragmatic. And doesn't have all these artificial limitations Next.js has when you're running it on your own server. I can't recommend it enough.

In NL you don't get your 14 days on remote purchases when it doesn't make sense. You cant purchase a game play it and return it. You cant eat the food. You cant wear the dress etc

If the 14 days do apply you have to inform the customer about it or it turns into 12 months.
There have been some tensions between some sequoia-pgp devs and Koch (which are mentioned in tfa). So it might also be some of them. I don't know anything first hand tho.
There's nothing to protest against - the government does not support or aid Hamas, and corporations do not support or aid Hamas.

What change would the protests do?
That provides Chinese manufacturers with a lot of real-world experience. That's important as not only are the Chinese poised to upset the EV auto market, but also the EV bus market, EV motorcycle market, EV scooter market, etc.

This gives China a path to totally dominate transportation. This is probably one of the things behind the Belt and Road Initiative.

The Dutch firm Ecory was commissioned to research the impact of piracy for several months, eventually submitting a 304-page report to the EU in May 2015. The report concluded that: “In general, the results do not show robust statistical evidence of displacement of sales by online copyright infringements. That does not necessarily mean that piracy has no effect but only that the statistical analysis does not prove with sufficient reliability that there is an effect.”

People with more time than money vs. people with more money than time applies in a lot of contexts.

literally anything by Bryson
This was the year I got my attention under enough control to be able to read voraciously again like I used to in my childhood :)

* I'll always bring up The Three-body problem because I re-read it every year

* Piranesi because of it's fantastical story-telling

* The Covenant of Water - because it's a fantastic medical drama and a sweeping story spanning generations

* Victory City - Salamn Rushdie's latest novel which is surprisingly readable

* The Enchanted Forest/Kaikeyi/Palace of Illusions - because they cover the major Indian epics from the lens of the women characters (think Circe with an Indian background)

* Trust - The same story told from different viewpoints with a setting in the early NY financial world, which makes it extra interesting

I notice that I do tend to favour books with an Indian background because of my nostalgia for it as I live in a foreign land. Maybe I'll branch out more next year!
Of course. You still need to make your project sustainable in some way.

You can sell support. You can sell consulting. You can do it the curl way and make yourself hired for developing your useful thing full time.

Not saying it's easy. Building a product and selling it in a way or another is not easy.

As a sibling comment say, at least the source is here, if you've come to rely on this unmaintained piece of code at least something is possible.

But I was mostly reacting to the association of "Closed Source" and "For sustainable business", like if sustainable business was not possible with open source. It is. Many companies succeed in this.
In a somewhat amusing turn of events, it appears Meta has taken a page out of Microsoft's book on how to create a labyrinthine login experience.

I ventured into ai.meta.com, ready to log in with my trusty Facebook account.
Lo and behold, after complying, I was informed that a Meta account was still not in my digital arsenal. So, I crafted one (cue the bewildered 'WTF?').

But wait, there's a twist – turns out it's not available in my region.

Kudos to Microsoft for setting such a high bar in UX; it seems their legacy lives on in unexpected places."
You clearly do not work on the field. There's an industry for that. It's not uncommon as you think.

Consulted for a company who implemented access logs for law enforcement to telephone records. A friend works at ring just fetching data from the DB for the legal team after they receives pro forma requests.

And those are the regular cases since the 80s. with judges from regular courts. If there's a law those companies must follow they will implement the same systems as they had for other laws. Only that these new ones prevent them from discussing. That's the only difference. the rest is banal day to day from legal and the industry that exist to sell compliance services to them.

> Reading TAOCP is the least efficient way to learn about algorithms

"Learning the algorithms" isn't a binary checkbox. It's a gradient of thinking and math skills, ranging up to a researcher in the field. TAOCP is the only book I know if that will give you that depth.

Learning those skills is not for everyone, but can be extremely valuable, and open a lot more doors than graduating with a class of 10,000 other CS students.

"Immune: A Journey Into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive" by Philipp Dettmer

I never really clicked with biology in school - but learning about systems is always fun. A bit of a pop-sci read on the subject that's very approachable. Most chapters are <10 pages. Dettmer manages to distill information very effectively though, he paints a fascinating picture of the complicated machinations of the human immune system.

Down with this thinly veiled morality policing. Someone should make a read-only bootable USB flash drive OS, with all the AI models in it plus GPU drivers, etc. That way, people will be able to create anything they want with it and enforcement will be nearly impossible because everything runs locally and is lost on power off.
It’s not actually clear from reading through this document or others, or the linked email threads, etc. that there is a personal dispute at play, or what that might be. I’m also not sure who the target of this document is, or who wrote it. It’s also not clear what the forcing function behind the strong recommendations at the end is — will the author fork GnuPG in the event a resolution can’t be reached?

Hi everyone,

I have recently launched the My Cart app and would love to get feedback on the app. I built My Cart as a way to provide better insight and transparency into grocery prices while also providing dozens of recipes available for people to use and make. I even added in a "generate" feature which lets you search for thousands of recipes.

Even with recent price spikes on various component prices, the price of the overall good sold continues its march downwards. BNEF's annual survey showed a 14% decrease in prices (other price surveys will show different results).

https://about.bnef.com/blog/lithium-ion-battery-pack-prices-...

The single component price, even of the component namesake of the battery, does not cause huge fluctuations in the overall cost of the battery due to the small amount of lithium cost in the battery and the substitution possibilities for all the other components.

And there's even a chance that sodium substitution for lithium could be used in a ton of applications soon.

Batteries and renewables are not like oil: a single commodity price fluctuation is not going to disrupt entire economies. They are a much more stable foundation upon which to build an economy.
