Those struck me as odd. I can’t find much in the author’s experience in the defense space. Advocating for guns over missiles seemed to go against every expectation I have for future naval combat, too.

Lets put this in the "Things that sound like good ideas in practice but don't actually work in reality.

So is this a place are interned to and can't leave easily? Well, great, you've created a drug terrorism ghetto.

Is this a place people can freely come and go to? Well, it will likely be "too successful" for a number of the hard anti drug politicians, remember this is supposed to be a failure to show how bad the moral failings of people that even thing about drugs end up in. That and when said politicians kids get caught there they'll have the entire place destroyed.

Also doing drugs probably doesn't mean "crime free for all here", so, um, who's policing the place?
Obviously cause the largest chunk of profits from manufacturing doesn't go back into the factory or r&d, but into dividends/exec bonuses/stock buybacks/moved overseas to avoid taxes and other financial engineering.

So in GDP you can see clearly Finance sector growing while Manufacturing shrinks. Parasitic relationship. No one seems to be able to comes up with tools to invert that dynamic. I thought Big Tech would be the natural source of such tools but they have been over run by financial engineers too.

The other potential counter balancing force is govt getting into manufacturing big time, but Wall St has too much influence there too. They are great experts in getting govt to hand out subsidies and tariffs which they then siphon off.

mad perspectives. being a tech frontliner you saw so much. in fame, in lives of excess. amazing hearing from your perspective how the wealthy think and live. one of the best articles i've read on the web in a long time, thank you for writing it.
It's not like there isn't manufacturing in the US. It's not great that the US shipbuilders are apparently fat and lazy, but for example, the US has 70+ modern destroyers in service, compared to the ~dozen that the apparently much more efficient Japanese and Korean shipbuilders have constructed for their countries.

The complaint is thus that we should have more for what we paid...
I don't think a single central source for ship building is probably the best path. We should probably have one on each coast at minimum.
Feature suggestions:

- 12/24 hour setting should be detected based on browser locale.

- Colon symbol is broken on Firefox + Chrome for me in Linux (Shows U+FE55 symbol).

- Ability to toggle showing all cards in a single column layout so you can see the sliders position relative to each other more easily.
Apple first party trade in is notoriously quite a bit lower than what the used market will buy for if you sell direct.
Fantastic. Thank you.

Any way to "pin" the current time so it acts as a live world clock?
I must interject with a gentle observation. Your eloquent reiteration of the original post's sentiments, while adorned with a delightful medley of flowery language, seems to mirror the very essence of an automated response. The harmonious blend of your words, while undeniably elegant, carries a whiff of the algorithmic - as if each phrase was carefully selected and woven together by an intricate tapestry of machine learning algorithms.

Might I inquire, dear interlocutor, whether you have employed the services of an AI language model to aid in the crafting of your response? For while it is not inherently problematic, it does add a fascinating layer to our discussion on the simplicity and transparency of programming languages.
more studies should be done.

Agreed. I really looked into if WebRTC would be possible for the game I'm trying to make but currently its not as easy as people make it out to be. fortunately - the communication channel is easily abstracted, so I wait for the day i finally get the abstraction i want.
This is absurd. CentOS Stream isn't just "similar", it has ABI compatibility with RHEL, it's waaaaay more stable than Fedora because the most it can be different from RHEL in general terms is the difference between two Y-releases (e.g. 9.Y -> 9.Y+1)

I would love a constitutional amendment for the USA that all laws expire 80 years after they are passed. It'd be hard to pass legislation today to prohibit marijuana, same sex marriage, etc.
Thank you for your comment. The pricing is free, but it looks like we need to make that more clear since it's buried in the FAQs. Also, based on your comment, we have added a short video to the home screen. Beta instructions will be released to registered participants this Monday, Jan 8. It also sounds like we need to better describe the underlying technology given this audience.
Better memory management, better wsl, newer cpu support, better multi monitor and desktop features. It actually has a lot of ui improvements as well (like most of control panel has been finally migrated compared to windows 10) but at the same time regressions mostly related to the taskbar.
Ralify – Release
This is a personal project born out of my own experiences in the corporate world. I've been in situations where meetings felt like a never-ending loop of time-wasting, and standup meetings were often done in ways that didn't add any value. That frustration led me to envision a better way of working together.

I firmly believe in the power of effective communication within a team. However, I've also experienced the challenges of working
with people across different time zones, speaking different languages, or stuck in a remote work setup. The sense of team-culture that I once cherished seemed to be fading away, especially with the isolation most of us experience.

The emotional connections between team members, the fun and spontaneous interactions that used to brighten our workdays, seemed to be slipping through our fingers. We found ourselves in countless small homeoffice bubbles, missing out on those crucial moments that foster motivation, creativity, and a sense of togetherness.

That's why I created this project – to make a difference. It's my way of bringing back the joy of team collaboration, regardless of where you are or what language you speak. I want to rebuild that strong sense of connection that makes work not just hashtag#productive but also fulfilling.

This project may not have everything yet, and may not be perfect, but it's the direction I hope project-management would go with self-organized teams.

We can bring back the joy of working together, just like in the good old days - but also like in the future.

Let me know what you think about the concept :)
Saving five percent (US) to thirty percent (generic less-developed country) of generated power in T&D losses.

There isn't any obviously-orders-of-magnitude-better application for room-temp-and-pressure superconductors apart from MRI scanners, and those aren't things that the average person would use every day, or even every week, even if they came in cereal boxes.

LLM Training and Inference with Intel Gaudi 2 AI Accelerators
"Based on these public on-demand quoted prices from AWS and IDC, we found that the IntelR GaudiR 2 has the best training performance-per-dollar, with an average advantage of 4.8x vs the NVIDIA A100-80GB, 4.2x vs. the NVIDIA A100-40GB, and 5.19x vs. the NVIDIA H100"
I think it’s pretty cool. It’s got that HomeDepot tool aisle vibe of being appealing even if I don’t have an immediate use for it.

For a second I thought it would be nice to not auto append a UUID to the hash, but I can imagine it’s simpler not having to check for or manage collisions.
Wouldn't it be more semantically meaningful if you would use "...api/store/<hash>" with GET and PUT?
That way you would also get better caching.

I love C. It's the language that makes me the most happy. I'm not entirely sure why, I think I like being in control. People always comment about C is unsafe, full of razors and knives flying around.

The thing to keep in mind is that *you* are the one throwing the razors and knives from the moment you go beyond printf("hello, world!\n");

I'd never recommend a company to start building anything in C. In term of the various team sizes and staff churn over the lifetime of a company, it's too risky.

But afaik most companies, particularly the growth hacking ones, are either Go or Kotlin or at that level of abstraction. Rust is slowly eating at C++ and I'm pretty sure no company in their right mind today start a new product in C++. It will slowly become COBOL.

C on the other hand still has new C written every day. I'm a polyglot and I love C, but I never had a job in C. I hope some day that happens. The modern tools aforementioned, e.g. static analysis, clangd, are really good.

The thing I love most about C is that there is a direct relationship between me doing something stupid and feeling pain for it. In python, I can write crap all day without feeling it. Some day I'll feel it, but not today!

I like small binaries and fast code. I like that when a developer tells me I did something wrong, they can prove it, and it's not some stupid high level language "the more you knoooow". I like control over things.

I love modern C and I wish it well!
A) It would have helped focus the conversation if that was one of your earlier quotes.

B) That level of interacting is not particularly conclusive for saying they do the same job. For example, in another industry I could imagine artists and programmers interacting that way, while having wildly different jobs.

C) You are getting way too hung up on the janitor example. It's a perfectly good explanation of one end of the spectrum.
Can someone make a list of unsafe Boeing planes?
They do not. The major gyms somehow have basically blocked chargebacks from most major issuers and additionally even cancelling your card for a new one won’t help.

I got into a giant fight with Lifetime Fitness and Amex over this. Amex 100% took the gyms side and allowed them to bill me even after I told them I refused any additional charges.

The chargeback system is consumer friendly until there is actual real money on the table. If you are a giant business you can block many chargebacks as matter of course. Your issuing bank will tell you to take it up in civil court while issuing you a bill.

As I looked into this further I realized chargebacks other than outright theft and fraud are basically done as a courtesy until your account is no longer worth it to the issuer.
"Nitro is a drop-in replacement for OpenAI's REST API"

It's not a model, it puts an API on local models.
I could completely see how one could make decisions based on that date, but I can also see how doing that could backfire. As always, a plan b is valuable.
Interesting read. It reminded me of "Do Things That Don't Scale" https://paulgraham.com/ds.html

I just didn't get the part where he says teens are mean to him, but the only example is where a teen made his job easier...

> I was always uncomfortable with these jobs, in large part because the teens were extremely mean to me. One girl waited until her mom left the room to casually turn to me and say "I will pay you $500 to lie to my mom and say you set this up".

> I was offended that this 15 year old thought she could buy me, in large part because she was correct. I took the $500 and told the mom the tracking software was all set up.
I feel unreasonable about it, but this is exactly why I only buy glassed drinks when I can. Luckily, I should drink less anyway.
These things were the bane of my existence. The degeneracy in the naming scheme makes the algorithms for handling them much worse. The problem is that you can have a fix, fpa, and airport all with the same code and as England found out, they can collide in disastrous fashion.

It's someone taking llama.cpp, strapping it to a HTTP server lib and implementing the OpenAI REST API, then putting some effort into a shiny website and docs, because AI-anything is a reputation and/or investment magnet right now.

Not that it isn't a nice idea -- making it easy to test existing OpenAI-based apps against competing open models is a pretty good thing.
almost at any place that rate is not really stable over time and overall if you have something close to 65-70% then it's probably just average situation.

From my experience places where more programing happening are:
- mid-big companies where you role could be very specialized
- small companies with focus on creating tech products or where tech has lot of impact on end customers (like if fixing few bugs could instantly lead to making additional money for a company)

Companies from non-tech word usually value non-coding stuff much more.

(I currently have about 50/50 rate and sometimes even less)

Smugness aside, it's still good advice because calisthenics is all that the average person needs to maintain a healthy level of personal fitness. For people to think that they need to have access to specialized equipment (and pay handsomely for the privilege) creates an artificial barrier that turns people off from exercising entirely and prevents them from meeting their basic fitness needs.

For those out there, if you don't have time or inclination to go to the gym, I guarantee you will feel better in your skin if you go from doing zero physical activity to doing any at all, even a little bit. A few minutes of stretching when you wake up in the morning followed by single-digit numbers of squats, pushups, and situps is a great start.
Its a shame, Google used to host Usenet groups and the other day I clicked a link of something old that Google was supposed to be hosting, and got literally nothing back.

Dear Google, you could have added ads to those old results to justify keeping them up, but you failed because you're more interested in locking things down than actually building up an open web.

Now there's decades worth of old usenet content probably gone, my understanding is a lot of it was donated by old usenet providers that shut down or just couldnt keep hosting really old but historic texts for whatever reason.

It's more relief than smugness. Gyms always seemed to let me down: onerous contracts, complex or buggy booking platforms/procedures, unhygienic, stuffy, rigid class start times and open hours. Gaining self-sufficiency made me incredibly happy/relieved.

The final straw was when I wanted to pause the membership the gym required "supporting documentation" (i.e. flight or hotel itinerary). I cringed so hard. When I cancelled they charged 2 weeks because that's just normal. Stripe and apple subscriptions let you finish your currently billing period when you cancel, but certainly don't charge you for the next 2 billing periods. I found it so backward. Charging people for what they're clearly not using is kinda sleazy IMO (I know the article sheds light on why gyms do that - that's how they make most their money!)

Also, at least half of the utility of exercise for me is mental (as opposed to physical). So clicking on poorly made apps and dealing with contracts was the opposite effect I was hoping to experience, meanwhile breathing fresh air in nature while working out is very mentally relaxing and pleasant.

Tl;dr I got bitten a bunch of times by super lame or unnecessarily onerous gym processes, hence why becoming self sufficient made me so happy.

Did the designer from Linear who created this theme get a humongous bonus? I've seen so many copy-cat it's crazy! Like the Twitter Bootstrap 3 theme back in the day.

@Linear, you should give that designer a cool 50 g's bonus.
Or… it’s just someone who wanted to build cool stuff.

I see the value in being able to locally run apps designed to talk to OpenAI apis.
Star trek that shit. If we modify the field emitters in the forward array to give off a tachyon beam and push the warp drive to its max, we can go back in time and get a snapshot of every living human to convert into an AI simulation using the pattern buffers in the transporters and the holodeck.
It should take large number of bombers or ICBMs to render the US unable to build or repair her Navy.

In World War II we hijacked most of the industrial base for the war machine. After the war, there was incentive to be certain that the US was capable of outfitting the Armed Forces regardless of whether manufacturing slowly shifted overseas.

South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan are too geographically close to a number of likely antagonists in the next global conflict. In the latter case, the distance might be negative.

They may be occupied or their industry bombed to dust as the opening moves in a protracted conflict.

There is something to be said for the DoD to effectively be paying rent (or a retainer, if you prefer that analogy) to Western Hemisphere manufacturing, with a large fraction in the continental US.
The MAX, sure, but the other Boeings in service are good aircraft and liked by pilots (unlike the 737).
The only point I might argue is whether the MacBook Air would qualify as a netbook at a certain point. Otherwise, I very much enjoyed this trip through Apple history! I was very anti-Apple for a long time but as I matured I realized that it doesn't matter, use what you enjoy using. I enjoy using Apple devices now and regret my days of pointlessly wasted energy hating Apple lol
At my previous job all circuit board first revision review meetings I would never shut up about how I wanted as many LEDs on GPIOs as I could get so I could stick various Linux LED triggers on them. CPU, disk access, heartbeat, network, panic, etc. SUPER helpful for early debugging of “what the heck is going on now?” situations that are common on early prototypes.
Typically people can see better in the dark than imaging sensors can (only considering visible spectrum here), especially small sensors. If you redirect the light somewhere, what would you see? How much light would you need to divert?

If the image is grayscale and has very high gain/noise/ISO, then I imagine with a low enough frame rate you could avoid noticable tinting. You would likely still notice the tint in comparison to regular glass, I'm too lazy to do the napkin math though.

Practically speaking, I would expect it to be strictly more noticeable than glass for holographic projection. If true, it's likely noticeable.

But the eye is fickle. You don't notice the tint of, say, a car window when you've been inside for a bit. Or sunglasses.

Here's an arbitrary Google search result for in-glass HUDs: https://www.lumineq.com/applications/automotive

They state their glass is 70% transparent. That's definitely noticeably opaque.

So when I looked into it last month - its true DataChannels would be the answer. But I couldn't find any "nice" abstraction in the language i'm using for it. like I just can't get some standalone WebRTCDataChannels abstraction - many WebRTC libraries don't have implementation for this or its all very specialized for audio transfer. There is a route of using some standalone WebRTC gateway service that your application can send messages to (I think this is the purpose of Janus?) - blah blah point is: its not easily done. Not in Elixir so far anyways.

And the second part of it is - I'm sure its easily done but at this point there is some incentive to keep whatever implementation you have to yourself.

Or maybe I missed something and I should try looking into it again.
Not quite. I'm sure that some basic textual advice can be provided by most LLMs, including GPT. However, we have 8 different generative and predictive AI models and a lot of statistics applied to provide very specific advice with specific dollar amounts to users for managing their money. Our team has specific background in economics, credit risk, treasury analysis, and machine learning. We're making this solution available for free to help bridge the wealth gap since so many people work to earn an income, but don't have the tools to get the most from their money.

I think the movie makes it pretty obvious that the cowboy and the assassin are the same exact man. Its the sheriff who invents them as separate people because he refuses to see the obvious.
