Such a strange take from someone I really respect who usually values digging into the why of things. I suppose we are all given to fits of pique on occasion but I don't know how anyone could avoid using info for that long. Makes me sad a bit, others with far better credentials than I have explained the technical advantages in this thread already, but info pages are so much better, they taught me a lot of what got me my first jobs in the industry.

I hope it gives them the impetus to do a comic on getting and using documentation locally without the web and how to write more documentation. I guess in retrospect my love affair with that sort thing (info, and any other offline documentation) was due to having to use jigdo or even older tools to download a distro over a modem attached to a poor quality phone line, so having offline docs to refer to was a godsend.

I am glad to see a sans font being used, rather than trying to replicate the serif font from the original papers. It's a bit narrow and fuzzy on low resolutions, but a massive improvement just by switching to sans.

Not the person you’re asking the question to, but it’s worth noting (if you don’t already know) that MathML is really not designed at all as an input language for practitioners who just want to write a few equations in some document. It’s designed as an output/presentation language so that devices that want to render some maths can do so faithfully[1]. As such, if you’re a human being who wants to typeset some equation, you’ll want to go to latex every single time rather than mathml and then someone else has to figure out the conversion.

Wow! It is really amazing that such a capable large-scale multimodal model is open-sourced. Thank you for sharing this.
I still don’t understand why species count matters. All organisms share the same basic genetic drive. Species go extinct when environmental niches shift too rapidly. But, as long as the niches stabilize eventually, they will be filled back in through natural processes and we will end up with new species. This does take a long time, but a reduction in species diversity is fundamentally not permanent.
A color blind color vision scientist's personal account
> needs to establish a leadership position

Why is this needed?
To go deeper on the idea:

Seller wants Y, and wants to do work X to pay for Y.

Buyer has to want work X.

Unless buyer and seller know each other really well, Y doesn't matter to buyer.

So by focusing heavily on Y your growth is limited to the subset of the network that seller already has and can promote to, that also wants X from them.

If you can't bring new buyers it's going to be very hard to entice sellers to join.

Given that you'd need a lot more buyers than sellers to make this one work, it's hard to see the focal point of Y working out.

Market places are very hard. Good luck with your next product! Keep building.

The mod swap tragedy is a subtle variation of a very common bug in keymap design: investing in superficial labels instead of real muscles

Like if the keymap were designed: "first key left of space" is our primary prefix since it's the most convenient (thumb) modifier, then the physical mod swap would've had no effect, and given the dynamic nature of the underlying language you could even have it be changed in a single variable to have an effect on all the keybinds and all the docs

(also yet another illustration how arbitrary bad defaults can stick forever, like vim using HJKL instead of fully going home keys JKL; just because some ancient keyboard had left arrow on H)
Google is having the same degree of success in AI, they had developing chat apps.

The only successful product developed internally at Google is the search engine.
Well Clang also did this for clang 16 and tried to ship it with 16. Most of these were K&R C constructs that were deprecated in c89. c23 kinda removes and in one case even repurposes the code. So on GCC and Clang side, it was c23 compliance and on fedora and gentoo(which also helped) force by compiler defaults.

"Build it and they will come" is almost never a winning strategy. Of course sometimes it works, you build the right thing at the right time and it goes viral, but most of the time you get crickets even if it gets to the top of Product Hunt or Hacker News (neither of which are of any importance outside of tech circles).

The right way is to talk to prospective customers first in a given niche, listen carefully to their problems, and figure out which problems are worth solving, i.e. you have the skills and resources to solve them and people will pay you to solve them. This is difficult if you don't have a network or experience in specific industries so tech people just wait around for a business person to tell them what to build instead.

Rationalism 101: A Historical Overview
Browser vendors are (or should be) managing the abstractions for their own needs, with developer needs expected to be met by framework/library developers.

Who says web components are meant for use directly by the developer? Maybe they're primarily meant for the browser developers (those who build browser features), not for use directly by web app developers.
Gosh I hope that your use of "waves" here is on purpose. Chef's kiss.
There is a taste component to it of course, but the history of PDF shows that it's the wrong format for reading on a computer. It was originally meant to be the end result of a publishing process before printing, a layer that sits right between the publishing software and the postscript that gets sent to the printer. This makes the PDF format quite inflexible for reading on a computer, with it being impossible to properly zoom or adjust the reading experience.

Unfortunately many institutions and businesses have ignored its limitation because PDF turned out to be an obvious-but-naive to put a 'sheets of paper' metaphor into a computer system, which in the 1990s appealed to tech illiterate folks doing bare-bones computerization of existing paper systems. So later we got complicated and error-prone tools for editing PDFs, and many random additions to the spec to allow for unusual use cases.

Fun Design. Reminds me of Google Gravity: https://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google-gravity...
Indeed, if there are administrative overheads of constructing in built up areas then it would be important to compare with a major highway building project also done in or near a built up area.

I’m still left wondering though, in the open countryside, what the complexity (and cost) comparison is between laying down a mile of freeway and boring out a mile of tunnel. It feels like tunnelling is hard and complicated, but so too is making millions of magic coloured tiles that are all connected to each other so we can see each others cats and, very rarely, make phone calls.

Fascinating the lengths to which people will attempt to fill in the gaps or correct “errors” to make a semi-working modern model appear physically similar to a paper sketch of a fanciful idea. I think I sort of get it: at some point the challenge becomes a thing unto itself.

But Leonardo was a genius precisely because his insights predated the experimental and iterative science spirit that came later, and which were necessary to produce practical technology. Can’t we just accept that his helicopter designs suck, his submarines were impractical, and his car was nonfunctional? They are still amazing and fascinating. Why contort or correct the designs to make them work?
I learned Basic on a ZX Spectrum clone when I was a kid.

It was harder to structure the code because there were no functions and subroutines, just line numbers and goto.

No while, no fors. Just ifs.

When I've learned x86 assembly later, it didn't seem too different to me.

This variant of Basic is more close to Pascal for me than the Basic I've learned.
Here is that forked man2html program: https://www.kylheku.com/cgit/man/

I applied quite a lot of changes to it.

It basically contains a really hacky, spaghetti-coded nroff interpreter. Very nasty C code.

In some of the patches, I actually implement missing features, like if/else conditions and loops. I got it to handle some of the complex macros in the TXR man page.

I also put in a way where the man page can detect that it's being processed by that man2html program to do some things differently, that work better for HTML. If the M2 variable is present, then the nroff processor is confirmed to the man2html.

There is a three-way if for targeting macros that annotate key strokes (used in the part of the manual that documents the REPL). In man2html, we generate inline HTML <kbd>...</kbd> tags. In nroff (man paging) we put square brackets, like [Ctrl-C], and for PDF output via groff, I used a complex copy pasta from the Groff manual to render boxes.

Indeed the elephant in the room is that the people designing these products often have little in common with people using them (outside of the Bay Area anyway) Financial status, affluent, well educated immigrants from China, India, etc.

I don’t see how DEI initiatives address any of that. It may actually be regressive in that regard.

> It also ignores what intelligent/hardworking means to each of us.

I think we agree on that part. But forcing a DEI model on hiring will take on the biases in the model itself.

It’s like delegating an individual’s bias to a group of people, who have their own bias. And it seems fruitless to me.

There's a healthy ecosystem of plug-ins, searching is highly performant, all of my files are just structured in folders as markdown files so there's zero vendor lock-in, has a very good mobile app, and I use git for easy sync / versioning.

The only downside is that it's not open source.

UK response to GFC was amongst harshest austerity policies in Europe, leading to infrastructure neglect, local government bankruptcy, degrading of the military and lack of investment in education, healthcare and the rest. This set the scene for Brexit, a policy which increased trade friction with the country's most important trade partners whilst also _increasing_ the immigration it was supposed to reduce.

Because the end goal is something functional. If Leonardo was actually building it, he would have done the same.
What do you mean that it's a branch instead of a straight line? Then there should still be intermediate species, and the species should not suddenly make an evolutionary jump. And what missing link evidence has been made up? Never heard about that. What is there to make up about it? You can make up something that is missing, but you can't make up something that isn't missing. So then you would mean that they incorrectly said that there was a evolutionary jump between 2 species while there wasn't?

In any case, if you have any sources, would be appreciated.
That’s a ridiculous perspective. We’re losing genetic marvels forever.

Yeah, this is "peak scaremongering"?

But by 2014 the new meth was everywhere. When that happened, “it seemed that people were losing their minds faster,” a Los Angeles Police Department beat officer named Deon Joseph told me. Joseph had worked Skid Row for 22 years. “They’d be okay when they were just using crack,” Joseph said. “Then in 2014, with meth, all of a sudden they became mentally ill. They deteriorated into mental illness faster than I ever saw with crack cocaine.”

Susan Partovi has been a physician for homeless people in Los Angeles since 2003. She noticed increasing mental illness—schizophrenia, bipolar disorder—at her clinics around the city starting in about 2012. She was soon astonished by “how many severely mentally ill people were out there,” Partovi told me. “Now almost everyone we see when we do homeless outreach on the streets is on meth. Meth may now be causing long-term psychosis, similar to schizophrenia, that lasts even after they’re not using anymore.”

Drugs that cause psychosis much faster than ever before? Yeah, you're right, nothing to see here.

Speaking solely for myself, I’m bummed that I miss out on the diverse ecology of our forebears.

People who buy trainsets are sophisticated buyers. They have lawyers, accountants and engineers advising them. You don’t sucker a semi-senile grandma into buying your trains unseen. Nobody buys trains on a drunken dare, or as an impulse purchase.

Because of this, if the financing is more viable that way, companies should be able to purchase, rent or lease their trains under whatever model makes the most sense in their particular circumstances. This of course assumes that the manufacturer deals fairly and the purchaser is properly informed about what they are buying, leasing or renting. (Which does not seem to be the case here, and that is unethical and a problem. The kind where people should go to prison in my opinion.)
True. My phone is more powerful than that and it is a shame I can't hook an external display to it, a keyboard and a mouse and use it as a PC.
