For a few years now my favorite pen has been the Sharpie Felt Tip Pen. Not like their typical "aromatic" markers or even the fine-point version, these are slimmer black-barrel black ink pens that can be found in 2 or 4 packs in the grocery store and other common places. They also come in a range of other colors. The caps come off and go back on more easily than the fine-point markers, and the ink doesn't bleed through thin paper. I usually write on brown 4x6 index cards, folded in half and clipped to my 3x4 cedar shingle pocket clipboard.

This page doesn't mention Sharpie at all, and they don't list these pens under their brand search feature. Here's an Amazon link if anybody is interested:

When you look at the history the “scene” swings from one side to another. Initially people mostly used static languages (C time). Afterwards came some dynamic languages (abc). After that the internet time came back with static (java time). After which the dynamic took over again (python time). Currently we are moving again to static (kind of) mypy / typescript.

My guess would be this depends on what problems is the majority of developers trying to solve.

But of course this summary is just a huge simplification of evolution of languages.

My bet was they would delay it. Well excited to see what people will build but also a little worried. Users have developed a lot of trust towards ChatGPT some are using it as a therapist, uploading a lot of secret info etc.

Now with custom gpts anyone can piggyback on that trust and just upload all that data to their servers.
> drivers should be compulsory to open source 5 years after the hardware is no longer sold

The ironic thing is that it would be legal for the manufacturer to engineer the hardware to die before that date.
Of course, they hide the details behind io_uring, it's just that monoio seemed even easier to work with. It's not set in stone, though, actually there are new runtimes being developed as we speak, for example mfio - we'll see what will be our final choice, but we've decided to start with monoio.

Speaking of the other platforms, having the fallback to epoll or kqueue (they've even announced some Windows integration) is nice to have, however, at some point we might just purely focus on Linux development anyway (io_uring only), if there'd be any issues e.g. when it comes to the code design to provide the compatibility across multiple OS.
glad you enjoyed it!
Havent' really found a custom gpt that was worth anything yet.

Also, All custom gpt seem to constantly forget their instructions . They would respond correctly one or two times in the playground and revert back to previous setting.
Congratulations. What are some of your favorite / most impactful supplements you're taking right now?

You could just tell the computer not to do that?

> Translate the following from Swedish to English:

> The sentence “och sen med de inluppta trämplissorna blybbade det otvickligt.” seems to contain words that are either colloquial, archaic, or incorrectly spelled in Swedish, as "inluppta", "trämplissorna", and "blybbade" are not standard Swedish words. The translation, therefore, might not fully capture the intended meaning. A best guess translation, considering possible misspellings, would be:

> "And then with the [inluppta] [trämplissorna] it became [blybbade] inevitably."

I see, thanks for investigating! I guess it must be a relatively new API, seeing how recently Safari has implement it.

Looks like a very good API, glad to have learned about it!
What’s missing from the calls for an old web is navigation.

Discoverability requires a crawler, a directory, a hot ranking, or randomization.

What is needed is some kind of hybrid wiki/directory that is more than “page of links to good travel blogs.” It needs to be a database that can be navigated with filters and categories. Filter by travel, filter by country. Filter by food, filter by cuisine, filter by reviews or recipes. It needs both hierarchy and dynamicness, but it also can’t be an open ended search or chat that has no inherent navigation. I want to be able to see what exists before searching, and search should be a tool to refine and pare the results.
> At what point, and how do you determine that?

By looking at the research? By understanding what kind of studies and experiments are actually viable? By evaluating what we can measure effectively, what we can't, and how good (or bad!) our proxy metrics can be?

As a field, we really need to understand the inherent limits of quantitative methods.
Anybody can say whatever, even yelling fire in a crowded theater, but that still doesn’t make them a real engineer.
agree with absolutely everything you said.

I purchased my corrolla off the lot in 2004 and _chose_ to go with manual everything for because it's cheaper and more reliable.

here we are 20 years on and that car is rock solid reliable with 168k miles and regular maintenance. I'm hoping to get another 20 years out of it.

When I decided I needed a minivan I went out and bought a 2007 Honda Odyssey, put a few thousand dollars into it and it runs like a champ (has just under 190k miles on it). But the Odyssey has an ongoing problem I'm trying to figure out and rectify ... the power sliding doors. I'd honestly rather just open them manually.

People love their convenience, but you know these vehicles with all their fancy whizbang features are going to be a maintenance burden during their lifetime.

There's something to be said about simplicity.
One of the advantages of indie games is that devs are making the games they want, not games that appeal to customers and stakeholders. Indie titles can give us things we never knew we wanted, and can appeal to people in small niches whose voices would be quickly drowned out when effort is spent trying to make a game that will appeal to the masses.

The mega-corps of the video game industry are already maximizing for widespread appeal/profits. Indie games are where we look to break free from that mold and explore something new and original.

Databases in 2023: A Year in Review
My friends have potlucks at at public parks/beaches. For me I often gather at the local hackerspace which is a collective that I’m a member of. I’m joining another collective that’s a tiny farm and they have potlucks. Theres “bike party” where a bunch of rowdy people meet in the streets, ride bikes for 5 miles or so with music blaring out of special speaker filled bike trailers and we take over both lanes of traffic until we ride to a selected location to throw a dance party.

And I don’t have a spare bedroom. Also most of my friend group doesn’t drink.

Looks [1] like it's created by Alexander Medvednikov, who is also the creator of V.

I have no dog in this fight, but V and its author have a somewhat storied history because the language's documentation made very strong claims around performance, safety, and the state of the language that may or may not have reflected reality.

I said that works here. The point is that floating point may give a different answer.
It is worth noting the ranking is also weighted, and China consistently weights 25-30-% worse than #2 in each table. (For some reason your deep linking isn’t bringing me to the tables you’re referring to so not sure which specifically you’re referring to).

But you’re right - everyone is screwing the planet up in their own messed up ways. I think rather than making bogey men out of the “bad guys,” we should realize this fact. But with that fact realized, China does act with a particularly egregious lack of responsibility and accountability that belies their stature.
Yeah I hear you. I much prefer staying on stable for that reason. Sometimes (though much more rarely than non-Rust users seem to think) it is unavoidable though, and once you do go into nightly, you can kinda go two ways:

* only use what is absolutely necessary

* go wild and add tons of stuff

As well as there being two kinds of nightly features:

* stuff that's not stable but has a clear path to becoming stable on some time frame

* stuff that's not stable but who knows when that will change, it may never

And to me, this dependency feels kinda closer to choosing the first option from both lists, which is the most conservative way of using nightly.
The GPT Store is poised to be the biggest platform since the iOS App Store.

Reason: The GPT-4 API is too expensive for most use cases. This encourages app developers to build custom GPTs, letting their users pay $20/month for a ChatGPT Plus subscription. To provide the same service in a standalone webapp using the GPT-4 API you'd have to charge ~$50/mo for your app only, and that's if you settle for ~50-75% margins (SaaS usually has much higher margins).

By the time GPT-4 level (proprietary or open source) models proliferate and come down in price, OpenAI will have GPT-4.5/GPT-5 for $20/mo in ChatGPT Plus, and it will be tough to ask users to pay to use a subpar model.
Uh... because they're very different?

Obviously, if all you care about is getting from point A to point B somehow then you're probably don't care much.

However, different cars have different characteristics, such as safety ratings (how likely you're to stay alive if you crash is important factor for some people), instrument clusters (my personal pet peeve - most cars have very poor UI/UX), rear window and mirror usefulness (in some you can get a clear view, in some you can barely see if someone's directly behind you or not), and all sorts of "luxuries" such as additional convex mirrors, backup camera or smartphone integration (CarPlay/Android Auto).

All those things - save for safety ratings - are quite subjective, so while some folks may just shrug and wonder how those matter, they make a lot of difference for others. The difference between a car that can drive and a car than you can drive pleasantly (or confidently) is probably significant.
Optimistic locking is a great solution to avoid holding a lock for an indeterminate period of time as you wait for a user or external system to provide updates.
I don’t mind people asking obvious questions. Even if the answer is also obvious, it’s still an important base to cover, and we shouldn’t assume it was. The humanities is replete with flawed studies.
I was pleased to hear, but a little surprised that, according to the article, the captain found some more passengers on a final sweep. It would be tempting not to take the risk.

Short of asking a pilot how they could make a calculated risk, I found the following. The International Society of Air Safety (9.11) notes that there "when practical, the commander may decide to check the entire passenger cabin before leaving the aeroplane." The section also notes some potential disadvantages of the flight crew helping with the evacuation.

> My guess: if the bitstream format was documented competitors would know how the device works and be able to prove their patents are being violated.

This has been the persistent argument for many years from companies who say they can't release Open Source graphics drivers.

> FPGA vendors will also justify inertia in that current FPGA users don’t seem to be deterred by the bad tools because of the economics of their business.

Want hundreds as times as many FPGA users? Make it easy for an FPGA to be used for transparent acceleration, by making it easy for Open Source libraries to build and ship FPGA bitstreams that serve as accelerators for their data handling. Imagine if compression libraries, databases, and many other kinds of libraries could transparently take advantage of an FPGA if available to process data many times faster. Then there'd be a benefit to shipping an FPGA in many servers, and many client systems as well.
It'd be kind of sketchy to have as a single point of failure in an underwater ROV that might not be able to emergency-surface straight up (e.g. wreck or overhang exploration).

There's a ton of gnarly stuff that can happen underwater acoustically without obvious warning (salinity, temperature, topography, etc etc).

>That is what a blind trust is, by definition. If the person has any knowledge then it is not in a blind trust.

Did you not read my example where Trump could get the knowledge without having any access to the business records? A blind trust cannot prevent somebody from doing a video call in a hotel room.

>The key to a blind trust is that the trust can sell assets at any time without the beneficiary's knowledge, so that the beneficiary doesn't know what assets they have and could benefit from.

Just because they can, doesn't mean they would. Yes, there is a possibility that a hotel was sold and Trump thought it was still his, but it probably wouldn't have happened. Why would a blind trust sell off a business doing well that probably would continue to do well?

Also since it is so well known everybody would know it got sold which would make the blind trust pretty much useless.

>With Trump there is the unusual problem of him having recognizable businesses. The only practical way to solve that problem would have been for a blind trust to sell off properties like that and invest the proceeds, holding/investing those for the benefit of the trustee.

I agree and it sounds like you are agreeing with my entire point that a blind trust wouldn't really be of any use. I'm not sure why you are trying so hard to disagree with me?
Yes, I disagree with what you said – that an ebook should be priced lower than the print version.

If you want the cheaper one buy the cheaper one. If you aren't in a rush to get it, buy the one that gets delivered in a week instead of in 10 seconds. If you want the ebook, buy the ebook. If you want the printed book, buy the printed book.

I think fuzziness understates by far the wild variations that uncontrolled (mostly uncontrollable) elements often create.

Very few of these kinds of studies follow scientific method well enough to be vaguely useful let alone generally applicable. How many have you ever read of being successfully reproduced?
> Now with custom gpts anyone can piggyback on that trust and just upload all that data to their servers.

Can they? I thought custom GPTs were hosted entirely by OpenAI with no middle-man in-between? How would the creator of a custom GPT receive any user prompt data? AFAIK they're not even accessible through the API to build on top of (unlike the Assistants)
That's amazing. It's a non-commercial license though.

How feasible is it to imitate what this model and codebase is doing to use it in a commercial capacity?

Did they release the dataset?

It would also be nice if Facebook would consider making an API to give Heygen and Diarupt some competition, if they aren't going to allow commercial use.

Although there will probably be a bunch of people who become millionaires using this for their porn gf bot service who just don't care about license restrictions.

I agree that indie has become an aesthetic. I suppose it was inevitable that once major game companies saw gamers embrace the creativity and freedom indie games brought they'd try to capitalize on that "trend" themselves in the most shallow way possible.

It seems like with every successful break from mainstream culture you'll see corporations attempting to capture the counterculture and homogenize it back into something they can control and sell back to the same people who tried to free themselves from those same corporations and the constraints they imposed in us in the first place.

On the Audi a4 I rented, I did not need to engage cruise control for lane centering to engage.

Looking at Audi a4 right now, can confirm that this is false...lane centering must be deliberately engaged and is part of Audi's cruise control functionality (but is a separate function from speed management).

I do not known why OIDC has so many bad comments here. At my $company we are using Keycloak for multi-realm (multi-tenant) authentication of users and clients (applications). Yes, the learning curve is long for OIDC and even longer for Keycloak. The FreeMaker Template Engine is awful compared to Twig. Updates of Keycloak can break something, so better have proper test/stagging environment. But this is the tax for not implement something, that is not in core domain of organization.

OIDC solves problems for OAuth2 like "every Identity Provider has different endpoints" with OpenID Connect Discovery (/.well-known/openid-configuration).

I'm not saying the futility of their efforts is the reason to change copyright law (although it should be possible to turn the argument your imagined lawyer comes up with around) - I’m saying what they are doing is futile, hurts more or less all of humanity AND copyright law is broken and does not serve its intended purpose anymore.

This is just like a gas car, where the conversation would start with mpg, not "What's your gas cost per month before and after getting gas car?" It is precisely because of the variation in both gas price and usage that it is important to start from consumption per mile and not a total price.
