I would imagine that Coyotes are a bit more opportunistic and rely more on scavenging and hunting smaller pray they can tackle on a solo hunt such as rodents and rabbits, but occasionally doing the big game pack hunt. For Wolves I would thing the pattern is opposite.

So while their ecological niche somewhat overlaps, it does so in a complimentary way, that is—and this is me being an armchair ecologist—the presence of Coyotes may only encourage the Wolves even more to go after the large gracing pray in packs as the competition is too tough for scavenging and the easier solo hunting of small pray.
The good thing is that there are several options for similar apps right now. If Obsidian tries to do vendor lock in stuff, I’ll just move to one of the other options.
I also don't like Make for running commands.

I was using Make for running commands, but it interprets all command line parameters as build targets, which was annoying. And Bash scripts in Makefiles aren't type safe, became messy.

Nowadays I use Make only for building. And Deno + Typescript instead, for running commands & scripts.

(Hadn't heard about Just — the scrips aren't type safe though?)
>For example rabies vaccines is not given to everyone

If you could spread something as bad as rabies by sneezing. You would see actual mandatory vaccinations, not the mild nudge people have been complaining about the last three years.
It’s not about being charitable. For those unfamiliar with the terminology this is just confusing, and for those that are familiar this discussion is all fundamental and well known anyway.

Unfortunately for COW filesystems including zfs and btrfs fallocate doesn’t do anything useful for preallocation. You’re still going to get fragmentation. The two methods outlined are essentially equivalent.
Make actually has some of the more sensible shortcuts, which are easy to remember

$@ -> the target (like an email address)

$^ -> the dependencies (look up)

$< -> only the first dependency (look up sign, but rotated 90s left to point at the first one)
What does the market cap of the company or the founders net worth have anything to do with the unit economics of operating a streaming business? Netflix, Hulu and others are all exploring charging more or introducing ads. Does that not factor into your analysis at all??
It's not a dichotomy. The vaccine is effectively only for a couple of months so you have to compound the effects of the vaccine PLUS the effects of infection. You also don't know if the effects of the vaccine are cumulative with each new booster.

And that's even assuming it's effective in the first place. The "it reduces symptoms" mantra is gaslighting since the whole point of its accelerated approval and forced application was for the reduction of transmission.

I see people now with long javascript builds that waste time doing many things repeatedly - it's quite ironic. Eventually people find crap to fill up the performance that's available.

The problem is that now the tools aren't designed as composable bits that you can really parallelise with a makefile. C/C++ are designed that way and if they didn't use header files I'd consider them perfect from the build system's point of view :-). Golang and java for example are a nuisance.

Ahh, I see. You read jliptzin series of questions:

> Someone want to explain to me why my tax dollars should go towards protecting target and Walgreen’s inventory? When they have one security guard in their entire store? When police could instead be spending that time finding the driver of the truck that smashed into my car and drove away?

As saying the police should not prosecute theft in Walmart at all.

That seems an extreme and unjustified reading - a "straw man", if you will.

I read it as a complaint that these stores are not paying enough for their own security, so why should should cops help Walgreen’s inventory when they don't even help "finding the driver of the truck that smashed into my car and drove away" even after "I gave police the license # of the truck that hit me, but they said it was an out of state plate so they said there was "nothing they could do."" (quoting https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38763356)

jliptzin pays taxes, so should get support from the police for property damage on the order of hundreds of dollars, just like Walgreens/Walmart can get support from the police for shoplifting something which costs a few tens of dollars, right?

I also wanted to focus on the question "probably more than you do?" at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38759837 . In terms of "taxes per acre", jliptzin almost certainly pays more than Walmart. Choosing to prioritize total tax revenue vs. taxes per acre gives a very different metric about which of those two crimes - car crash or shoplifting - to prioritize.

However, pretty much any real world person doing those calculations and arriving at the conclusion that they're better off not getting the vaccine is engaging in motivated rationalization rather than reasoning. Almost no one is actually living as a hermit, unlikely to ever be exposed to covid. And just about everyone who will be exposed will be safer having had the vaccine, considering all the risks and probabilities you listed.

"While I’ll leave my personal opinion out of it, I do want to add a couple of notes."

Do you believe that humans and (packs of) wolves can coexist in the same space ?

I am genuinely curious to hear what you think of an area inhabited by packs of wolves - would you engage in hiking/camping/recreation in that area after dark ?

I am in favor of wolf reintroduction, in general, and think it is a noble goal.

However, I believe that my support of wolf reintroduction is creating zones of non-habitation for humans. This is because my reading of the history of wolf/human interactions - throughout European and North American history - supports this very traditional view.

What worries me is that many people may not understand that their support of wolf reintroduction creates an exclusion zone for humans. Certainly after dark. It is possible that not everyone would accept that trade-off the way that I have.
My opinion is not so uncommon. I actually formed the opinion after reading several books about Rome; until then I had the same view as most here. That Rome was worse than what came before and after is gaining a lot of acceptance. It just isn't said as abruptly.

That video link begins with "I believe there is a path to a soft or soft-ish landing", followed by a definition of a soft landing as unemployment not going up too much.

It seems he's pretty clearly describing what he believes is possible, not describing what he wants absent constraints imposed by reality.

It's pretty easy to play armchair economist, as the first-order effects of Fed intervention during COVID were pretty painful for a lot of middle- and lower-class Americans, at least those who would have kept their jobs even without intervention. Which models are you using and what do your models show the unemployment rate would have hit without any Fed intervention? How long would the COVID recession lasted without intervention? The question isn't "Were the Fed's actions harmful?" the question is "Were the Fed's actions less harmful than available alternatives?"

That intuition makes a lot of sense to me, especially if I picture the person's frame of reference.

Kind of reminds me (a layman) of winding numbers. I suppose there are topologically inspired variations of this problem that might be even more "paradoxical" (or perhaps just silly). If you moonwalk the second half, you undo your rotation? Or if you follow specially designed subterranean tunnels, you can end up doing 0 or negative rotations!
I forgot they even had a paid version, sorry about that. The benefit IMO is really just playing the first few bits a few times to help get the visual/muscle memory of moving around with vim motion keys. Not just HJKL but beginning/end, Find and Till, I assume the paid part comes after that but it’s been a while since I’ve used it.

Honestly I’d do the vimtutor, maybe try the free version of this, and just use it for a bit. Use the arrow keys, use the mouse (:set mouse=a turns it on just in case) but see how you like being able to use the <count><action><range> syntax to do things. That’s the real win in my opinion, things like reflow this paragraph gqip (reflow is gq, range for a paragraph is “ip” or In Paragraph), delete this sentence including surrounding spaces and period das (literally Delete Around Sentence), and with movements gU} changes the rest of the current paragraph to uppercase.

There are many lists of these things, but I learned it by treating it as notepad with some odd bindings for save and quit for a bit in college then whenever something was annoying looking up how to do it or how to build it. I’ve now been using vim as my main editor for notes, prose with latex or markdown, and programming for 20 years, and literally given courses on it for graduate students. That is to say, you don’t need to learn it all ip front to use it. Learn how to open it, get in insert mode, write and quit and jump in; hopefully it will fit you like it did for me.
The only one arguing in bad faith is you, along with the cookie-cutter propaganda that you consume without further thought.

You're allowed to your own opinions and discuss them, but what you're doing is just regurgitating an opinion and trying to use THAT as a fact that should somehow persuade people.

Why is it that militants like you ever think that'll work in a discussion where you can't use pressure or force is beyond me.
ninja is faster at parsing large makefiles and I'm reasonably certain it's because it lacks certain expensive features of make.

Do you need those features? You'd have to read about make to find out but it boils down to there being not much performance difference for small builds so make might have an edge there. When you get to android sized builds the reading of makefiles can take minutes and ninja wins there enough to make it worth sacrificing the features.

The vaccines that people are getting ridiculed about have been administered to more than 5 billion people. If there were any such extremely damaging long term effects, we would have seen some already.
What I mean is: a precept of command-line fluency is to be able to drop onto arbitrary systems and change them in ways predictable to the next sysadmin. ‘gio’ is a vague entry point to a library, and even if the next sysadmin doesn’t know about gnome, the files you trashed end up in a common recycling bin.

On the other hand, KDE has a syntax that deserves an alias.
Why is that the question to ask?
I’ve helped teach a couple of those full stack web development boot camps a few years ago and you’d be surprised how many things you’d consider difficult to mess up that others will find impossibly difficult to grasp.

Make is the grilling of the hacker world. You just want to light up some quality lumpwood charcoal and get a nice smokey crust on some steaks, cook up some hamburgers, and crisp up some chicken for your guests over the course of an afternoon…

…but oh no there is a constant stream of inquisitive folk coming over, beer in hand, suggesting cool adjustments / hacks / “improvements” to your setup. With grilling it’s actually pretty easy to defend oneself from this unsolicited advice. There’s only one grill after all. It’s not like it’s some company wide grill that anyone can make changes to solely by convincing one other person to sign off on their PR / MR / changeset.

I’ve seen some very “clever” makefiles (and cmake lists.txt) over the years. It is hacker catnip for all manner of Jackson Pollock ad hoc scripting rubbish and I lament every commit that did anything except make the makefile less complex! All new software engineers should be given a shiny ball to play with when they get bored with their day job, lest they decide to take out their playful creativity on the build system instead.

Software these days is far worse. Using bloated web technology, not optimized, and the terrible trend of smartphone user interfaces on desktop operating systems.

When you promise easy returns, you make consumers more confident in buying, which leads to more sales.

I don't disagree with your arguments, but this story doesn't seem to be about forcing an os nor even store to open up. It's more about the 30% revenue sharing and how these stores can't force studios to submit to it if they are interested in using alternative vendors. That's why Google is involved even if you can technically install a dozen other stores (or sideload everything).

This won't really benefit anyone but the largest studios, even if they open it up to game consoles. But it could be a first step. But a step with a lot less support.
It's in part the development environment, which started earlier, before it had a graphical display.

> Wouldn't this be something that could be mirrored or performed even better by just having more layers of neurons in the network. Of course in addition you could have multiple LLMs doing such work together of selecting best optimised systems for a given work. But it seems like astrocytes based on my limited knowledge are more for the reason of maintenance for biological systems which LLMs wouldn't necessarily have to deal with in the first place. So I'm not sure what kind of advantage astrocytes exactly would bring.

Regarding: astrocytes and cell maintenance vs computation: The picture is getting more complex at a steady pace as scientists learn more. Now they know that astrocytes wrap around synapses (the "tripartite" synapse), detect and emit neurotransmitters and gliotransmitters, have internal calcium signaling and are involved in learning and object recognition.

Regarding: Wouldn't this be...more layers of neurons...": Possibly, maybe probably. Those examples didn't really describe any functional capability, they just described how different our machine is from many people's understanding of how our brain works, which helps illustrate why comparisons to something like ChatGPT are difficult.

> So it seems, that given enough computing power, we should be able to make something that is more intelligent than a human, which I do think GPT-4 already is in so many things.

When you say "enough computing power" do you mean just expanding ChatGPT's number of parameters and training set? I don't personally think that will do the job, I think the key is identifying and providing the specific functional capabilities that our brain utilizes. And I think that requires an approach that is different than just expanding the size of the network and training.

> I also am not sure what exactly would GPT-4 have less intelligence in compared to any animal.

Do you mean ChatGPT's current capabilities? If so, animals model the 4D environment they exist in, ChatGPT is obviously limited in areas like that. Those internal models can be key for some types of knowledge.

I used to write opengl screensavers for xscreensaver (glplanet and pulsar) and I have to admit, sometimes when working with opengl it would take me more than a day to just get a triangle (or sphere, my preferred primitive) to show up on the screen. Anything from an errant transform, to a mistaken feature bit (lighting, whatever) turned on/off could make a huge difference. Once I could draw a quad I had everything required for pulsar, and once I could draw a sphere I had everything I needed for glplanet (although I later learned, I did get the projection math wrong the first time).

- Wikipedia

Carrier and friends were already getting huge by this time in North America, and we were still decades away from any Asian imports being seen as anything more than bottom of the barrel goods.

The shittiest VCR you could buy at Best Buy in the early 1990’s in the US was produced by Goldstar, a Korean manufacturer, which today sells some of the very most expensive home electronics options. A change like that calls for a rebranding, which is why you and I know the company by a different name: LG.

Australia seems to have a more direct line to Asian manufacturers, particularly before shipping improved, so it’s not surprising you all ended up with mini splits. Also old American cooling loops are bulky, making them less efficient to ship that far.
