That's why I preempt my proposed solution by saying that many apartment buildings already have Luxer One installed. For this type of a setup, optimizing package delivery seems like the next logical step. Buildings like that already have service people who deal with various package-related tasks.

It wouldn't make as much sense to batch deliver to single-family houses, but apartments—and in some cases gated communities—could process a dropped-off container every morning.

When I look into what goes into managing an apartment building, I notice that there are many similar jobs they do regularly. E.g. taking out large containers with trash at a specific time. This could be a similar process: pick up a container, move it to Luxer One, and plug it into the system. With further Luxer One optimization, it would be possible to automate the task of scanning and notifying tenants. So the added job for humans would be just to wheel in the container, plug it into Luxer One and then take the empty container out before the next delivery.

> How many places get enough packages to need a box?

My guess is all apartment buildings (perhaps 50+ apartments).

> Finally, why automate it? The delivery services could send a van with a large box containing packages

Because we are already on this path. Why add even more congestion during the day to accommodate the rapidly expanding delivery industry, when we could batch deliver at night? I agree, that MVP could rely on human-driven vans, but ideally that would also be automated.
Did you enable the required developer flags?

From the preview page:

To enable WebGPU, turn on the “WebGPU”, “GPU Process: DOM Rendering” and “GPU Process: Canvas Rendering” feature flags in the Feature Flags tab in Safari Preferences. If you don’t see the Feature Flags tab, you need to first check “Show features for web developers” in the Advanced tab.
I love seeing open source success stories like this. Not only did someone take the time to refactor the website and make a very exhaustive PR (https://github.com/YakshaLang/yakshalang.github.io/pull/4), you as the maintainer showed a willingness to scrap your own work (project maintainers are sometimes too reluctant to discard significant original work of theirs)

I'm curious if this was all done on github, or if you and the PR submitter discussed the cleanup via other channels before they just blazed ahead with the refactor
This is amazing!
One thing I'd love to see though is the ability to zoom in/out like in Sublime
That's true, but that's not quite the same as eg: single household median income vs median of all household incomes.

Let's say 90% of men in the US and Norway worked full-time and 80% of women in Norway and 60% in the US worked full-time (or vice-versa) - the various subsets of medians (individual vs families) might not be sensible to compare.
Now I am confused - I have no actual knowledge on this but on the post there is a comment from an experienced pilot saying the opposite:

> [...] But IMO ATC was absolutely not doing what they are supposed to do. Air traffic control is literally a service provided to and paid for by the airlines.
> Certain interpretations (e.g., the "Many Worlds" interpretation of QM) are more conducive to this possibility than others.

> Generally, "free will" is simply stated as "the freedom to do otherwise".

In the Many Worlds interpretation, as I understand it, everything that can happen, does happen (as it would in a single universe of infinite extent). So no matter what you choose to do in one universe, the multiverse-wide outcome is predetermined: copies of you always make all choices not forbidden by the laws of physics.

I think this just pushes the problem of determinism out to the multiverse as a whole.
Well, Google has a bunch of people who tell themselves they’re the best in the world. I’ve known perfectly reasonable humans start working there and by the time the left they felt they were smarter. By that I mean, in general, smarter than others. You can’t be smarter, you can be smart, but smarter isn’t a state of being. But they definitely feel they are, and assume you know that too. When discussing work I had done with one they insisted I must have based it off of a Google paper, which they weren’t sure if there was one on it, but surely I didn’t do it myself. That level.

One when confronted with the actual remit of their new job at a new company said “wow you hired an atom bomb to open a tin can.” They failed to achieve anything in two years and was fired.
Yes! Ben eater’s content accompanies nand to Tetris so well.

I did the 6502 project in which you assemble a computer system on bread boards (wiring together the clock, cpu, ram, etc).

It helped solidify many of the concepts from nand2tetris. For some reason doing it all physically with real chips and wires made it all a bit more memorable.

I’d love to try his other bread board project in which you assemble all the inner workings of a cpu on bread boards as well — I think this is what you were referring to.

What a weird tradition, denouncing this murderer guy for hundreds of years.

I did manage to witness the duck hunt, which is a once-a-century "tradition" when I was there. A bit weird to have a ritual that nobody was alive for at the previous iteration. I doubt there's even been two coronations that far apart.
It's nice to see this. Hopefully small upstarts will make breakthroughs in different areas. Better than an AI monopoly.

This last decade, Google hasn't really made much of relevance outside AI either. The company is just milking its existing ad flows and not much else, it seems.
I also like this. But I don't like the distraction of seeing all the blocks below my cursor move every time I make a new line.

The perfect UX would be to add a new buffer at the top, but with enough padding to fill the window so that you can't see the movement of previous blocks while you're typing.

(Maybe this is already kinda how it works - I haven't downloaded the app yet, but I'm excited to try it, because it looks great!)
That’s a web developer problem, not a Safari problem.

You can't use more than one context in React classes

"React" has been around for 10 years but in practice its been 3.5 different frameworks

- the original

- the class version (still close enough to original)

- hooks version (largely a whole different concept and "compatible" only superficially while the rest of the ecosystem starts writing incompatible things)

- server components, and `use`, which monkey patch fetch and already broke half of the ecosystem.

And no, hooks are still far from perfect and are infact very unintuitive and awkward to pretty much anyone who hasn't used React.

Additionally, there were designs possible to evolve from class components, its just that the React team cared more about

- "innovation",

- "functional" aesthetic preferences

- enabling a DCE compiler

rather than compatibility and continuity

Example design that would prioritise compatibility and continuity while still enabling all the current features of hooks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35192312

Again, this is _not enough_ attention to backward compatibility and stability in other ecosystems, even older ones like Python.
Are there any key indications for this? Why would it not just stop here (for a while)?

"Gateway drug theory" has to do with going from one class of drugs to another. That is not what I described. I described usage within a single class of drugs that has to do with chemically addictive properties, strength, and cost dictating the choice of the next drug.

I can see your argument about cost, but I think it ignores that, for instance, tranq is now being used in combination with fent. The reason for that isn't cost, it's entirely strength and chemically addictive properties. I think ignoring those kind of factors falls squarely outside of harm reduction. Where your argument with cost runs foul is in states like California where the legalization and subsequent regulation of the drug shot it's cost up. I'd argue marijuana probably doesn't need that kind of regulation, but chemically addictive substances I think do.

ChatGPT is like living in an information tunnel. It’s amazing but it doesn’t replace search for me at all. Irony is when it does search, because it’s obviously just doing a quick crawl it actually makes things worse as it treats whatever shit it finds as authoritative - which, as anyone working on RAG knows, is a whole world of problems on its own.

This is absolutely not to say that Google can be considered ‘good’ these days.
> I DO NOT HAVE TO PAY A TAX TO APPLE TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC

The author paid a significant tax, as documented in their blog post: they had to try several devices and eventually *build custom hardware* to do something so simple. Yes, it’s fun. Yes, it gets the job done. No, I don’t want to do that when I just wanna listen to music.

The apple tax is more than just easy access to music played through marginally higher quality DACs. It’s also a cost that I’m happy to pay to never have to do something like what the author of this article did.

My time is significantly more valuable to me than ideological objections to working technology.

Really cool idea. I ran it on Windows and noticed the text rendering was off (incorrect/missing subpixel anti-aliasing) but at the same time I got distinct Electron vibes which threw me off: Electron does text rendering correctly and lack of subpixel rendering usually means a custom (native) gui. Is everything a canvas? If so, using text gives you accessibility plus better text rendering.

But maybe it's just the font. Is there a way to change which font is used?

And the thing is that it's not voluntary any more than grocery shopping is. You can maybe make a point about where (sort of -- where I live, this practice is actually allowed statewide, so it's not strictly a rural/urban divide), but that's a separate axis from whether or not people need places to live. (Theoretically buying is an option, but if renting is inaccessible, it's unlikely that you're really looking at homeownership either.)

This is just the same laissez-faire capitalism that gave us Ticketmaster, right down to being an identical business model.

It’s not perfect, but when I compare to google the few times I’ve been frustrated, it’s not any better and has to do with the topic, not search engine.

> you don't learn any transferable skills

Actually, playing video games is an activity that let you practice real-time thinking. Other activities with real-time thinking include music instruments, sports and social interactions. By real-time thinking, I mean an activity that requires you to think and act within short timelapses. It appears also that activities involving real-time thinking can be quite fun, and few course in schools involve real-time thinking.

Now, learning new languages like html or how to fine-tune LLM can be quite fun. Learning how to draw nice pictures, or how to write nice books can be quite fun too. It's nice to let children explore different activities (or free internet CD if we speak about 1996) so that they can find the ones that resonate with their inner motivations.
Lack of real Firefox is the actual blocker for me using an iPhone. But at the same time, I'm glad ios only allow safari and I hope the EU don't change this. I think the consequences would be bad if chrome works on every platform and suddenly there's no cross browser support for a lot of apps.
I don't think there's anything to be gained by switching to VHDL or Verilog. Their custom HDL is a fine HDL for the uses of the course. There's so much commonality that they're effectively interchangeable syntactically. If the idea was to use VHDL or Verilog such that one could actually make the CPU on silicon or an FPGA, then that opens up a whole can of worms that is well beyond the scope of the course. I do think it would be awesome if they had a sequel that did this, but I think it doesn't make sense in the context of the existing course.

I'd tend to assume folks would want to live in Reno rather than the open desert. Here's Reno's zoning code: https://www.reno.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/89797/638167...

Article 3 spells out the process and requirements. And then there are the zone descriptions. It's pretty typical stuff - setbacks, FAR, heights, etc. Most residential zones are single-family. It's all the usual zoning things which drag down the pace of construction. Have you applied for your pre-application meeting? Are the planners satisfied that your application is complete?

Nice high level summary of the research:

https://www.hyperemesis.org/news/nature2023/
Mine is mostly various cast-off enterprise hardware, living in a semi-finished room in the basement. From bottom to top:

- Mid-'90s 42U IBM server cabinet

- Two 1500VA APC UPSes (non-rackmount)

- 1U Dell R610 (PFSense firewall)

- 1U Dell R620 (ESXi host)

- 2U Dell R720XD (60TB NFS/CIFS storage server)

- 4U rackmount case containing a Windows gaming/workstation PC

- 4U rackmount case containing a Linux workstation (the previous iteration of the gaming/workstation PC)

- Black Box KVM for the two workstations

- TP-Link unmanaged 10GB switch

- Cisco managed 1GB switch

- Cable modem

- Two 1U PDUs plugged into the UPSes - half-ass dual power path for the machines that support it.

It's a pretty nice setup; I have a bunch of system service VMs on the ESXi host (IDS, Splunk, etc) and can spin up a new one in a few minutes whenever I have a new project or want to try something out. The cables from the KVM go through the floor to my office on the main floor so I don't have to listen to fans and can switch with a key combination. And of course I have plenty of storage for whatever - I back up all of my VMs and my workstations to it, I can download pretty much anything I need to, etc.

And since it's been asked before, yes, electricity is oddly inexpensive where I live.

Hang on a second, does nand2tetris not involve real chips and wires?
It also varies by how professional you provide your solutions. If you start wanting to test things, give proper errors, etc., it will start increasing the time needed by quite a lot.
The key indications are capitalism, pace of current development (what was it, yesterday that mj6 dropped?), and active research.

In other words: 1) There's (a lot of) money to be made in making it better. 2) Releases are happening constantly, why would that stop? 3) Lots of recent research still that hasn't been productized and also that opens the door to future improvements.

No, without industrial scale fertilizer production, there is no way to grow enough food for our current population. Natural processes simply can't fix nitrogen fast enough. The main reason populations started exploding in the 19-20th century was because we found a way to produce nitrogen fertilizer in absurd quantities very cheaply.

If that link in our global industrial chain breaks, a lot of people will die. We can, of course, still grow food, but not anywhere near as much and it will take a lot more care and attention to not deplete all available soil in a generation or two.

In a hypothetical apocalyptic scenario, we might lose a lot of institutional knowledge about agriculture. It's not hard to imagine some average joes trying to farm the wrong way and accidentally starting another Dust Bowl. After all, that's how it happened the first time.

Feeding 8 billion people is so, so much more complicated than just putting some plants in the ground. That we can do it at all is an absolute miracle of technology. We simply could not do it with only naturally available resources. Not by a long shot.
I would assume that you would get a big performance drop, because knowledge is split in a very non human understandable way between the experts

>suddenly trillions of sewer bacteria get exposed to a low dose and suddenly start developing resistance.

I think you're misunderstanding how resistances work.

Bacteria don't "start developing" resistance, if they survive the antibiotic at all they already had resistance by stroke of luck. The surviving, resistant bacteria will subsequently survive and outnumber the dead, not-resistant bacteria and we generally call this "developing resistance", but the resistance itself is down to a simple question of whether it was already there or not.

Resistances do not come to existence after bacteria come across an antibiotic. If resistance is there, the dosage won't matter because the resistant bacteria will survive regardless.
Chopping (drop the first x bits) sha256 to 180 bits is probably the most secure way to go, see Block-Cipher-Based Tree Hashing by Aldo Gunsing. Bitcoin uses RIPEMD180 so the length is probably fine, but it has other properties that make chopped sha256 a better idea (length extension attacks for example).
