Care to offer evidence of pseudoscience status? All I could find was debunkings of this claim as myth and outdated, and to my understanding research in the field has caught wind in past decades. I’d love to learn more about the debate, so any pointers are welcome.

” Depending on where your philosophical allegiances lie, Karl Popper might be a friend or an enemy to whatever version of philosophy of science you accept. Falsificationist approaches to science imply that psychoanalysis makes untestable and unfalsifiable claims! Popper made the very same claims about Marxist social theory as well. There are two issues with this approach. One, if falsificationism is true, then all social sciences, and even some natural sciences, are pseudo-scientific. This is an unacceptable conclusion since much of social science is clearly science. Lots of cutting-edge physics whose models do not lend themselves to controlled experimental testing would also lose their status as science. That is also an absurd conclusion. Newtonian mechanics, for example, would never have been accepted as a theory if we use Popper’s standards of theory corroboration and falsifiability. The theory offered better ways of explaining phenomenon that previous theories were already decent at predicting reliably. The process of legitimizing Newtonian physics had nothing to do with testability.4 A good theory of science does not rule out obvious cases of scientific rigor.5”
> The whole point of this thread is that science often advances in parallel with no communication between scientists.

I can only suppose that you are taking 'communication' to mean only direct communication via face-to face conversation or the exchange of letters, but communication is a transitive operation, and, in fact, your thesis is tacitly predicated on this leading to the dissemination of knowledge. The more I learn about the actual history of science (as opposed to 'scientific genius' hagiography) the clearer this becomes.

If you are looking for an economic perspective on this, the emergence of the infrastructure of academic publication would be a good place to start.

I would argue taxi driving was a craft before it got commodified. Being a good taxi driver especially in a big city required specialized knowledge of the city.

Before cars also got more common driving skills were more of a craft.

I wonder if the day will come where this happens to lawyers and doctors with ai.

The main point is that the bar is constantly rising and most people can’t stay above it.
I prefer Podman these days. Same commands as docker, can use Kubernetes style yaml (meaning I have to remember fewer things) and is free.
What skills are you brining? What areas are you interested in?
I can see that for in planning and scheduling. But at least by the video one would hope that a descriptive title could be available. If not by the time of the talk for those considering watching it live.
I wonder how effective this is though? An average container ship has 10,000 6.1 meter long containers. That a lot of carriages and trains.
There are quite a few companies offering EV conversions for classic cars, for example Retro Electrics [0] and EV-Evolution [1] for the 500. Personally, I'd go for the kit. I'm 6'4" though so a 500 might be a bit of a squeeze :)

Dishwasher saves a lot of water and energy compared to hand wash if you run it with more than a small number of dishes.
I suspect the colour accuracy, viewing angles, display tech (probably VA) from a no name make a fair bit of difference too.
If I had to guess I’d say it’s because of smartphones.

I can't recall what resources I used to improve with Fusion 360; there are a wealth of resources out there, I recall I did watch a few youtube vids on the subject. I'm not a complete stranger to CAD though, I've dabbled here and there for about 20 years or more, once I got a grip on the core workflow of Fusion it came together quite easily, and couple that with playing around with the various tools to see what works. There are times in the modelling flow that you may get a bit stuck due to the order of operations you have applied. Fusion keeps a timeline history of operations and it's somewhat possible to "refactor" it by moving things around - that can both fix things and also make your model break completely. So, I'd recommend looking up best practices for your model and history management. Also, don't expect to get your modelling right first time, or to be able to learn using your main project model, you can easily learn a lot using a bunch of test files to try things out, and apply those techniques to your project afterwards.

With regards to using it for 3d printing - I don't recall again using any specific resources for this, but the main thing was figuring out tolerances and fit for parts. Again, use test models and print small test parts to see what works on your printer. Fusion's parameters can help here, as you can set up variables for tolerances/spacings and update them after the fact.
Sceptre baby. Cheap. Good picture. No stupid smart features.
Local LLMs are defo the way forward for governments and certain private companies, that was a huge blocker with making these types of products.

Haven't used ollama but I've used GPT4ALL and that has the ability to turn on a simple rest api that mimics the standard openai completions endpoint, so would be super easy!
It depends. With law enforcement, probably. Abother option working for a cybersecurity firm and focus on post-intrusion forensics, etc. Also, working in incident response for a large enough company will give you this experience too. Source- I held a role responsible for response and some forensics for years.
That's what I was thinking.. But the idea is still good. The whole thing is also run by one person, so to be fair, it's the simplest thing to implement.

Making feedback requires no login - obviously ;)
From my own experience, being taught dynamic programming straight way makes it more of a puzzle. By going through the steps and explaining _why_ we are using a table, and connecting the concept to caching, I feel like it makes much more sense.
Go is simple like C is simple. Add a garbage collector and concurrency and it’s easier to do some things but the simplicity of the language means you have to intimately understand more of the runtime to not shoot yourself in the foot.
My last experiments have been with a logitech camera as mic, worked kinda well but unreliable. Seeing forward to the chips ive ordered
The river used to create the lake isn't artificial. What's going to happen to everything down stream once the lake has become brackish? What happens to the people or farmers that depend on the lake for fresh water?
You are missing something key. There is a very popular strategy that YouTube and Uber and a bunch of other companies followed. If you have a product with network effects you don't sell it for what it's worth right away. First, you heavily subsidize the price to maximize your user base, only then do you start charging what the product was worth all along. You got convinced that the unreasonably good initial offering is the norm and resent the inevitable switch to the sustainable real offering. That makes sense, a lot of people will be in your boat as that is basically the entire point of the strat, get you to join the nework by giving you a false impression of the service / product. I'm sure there is some greed there too, but it's not fair to ignore this part of it. Yes, they are making the service worse in order to make more money, that is a fact, however I think some / most of that is needed to cover costs and was planned from the beginning. The argument should be what fraction is needed. Zero, as you seem to imply, seems clearly too low to me. Regardless, it seems best to evaluate a service based on how much you currently get from it for the price (and relative to current competition) rather than to what you used to get for the old price. I get so much value from YouTube that I do not mind paying for Premium. Yes, it is now a much worse deal than before. I think it is still a very good deal.
Except if there’s a market for cheap cars, other manufacturers/ startups can’t enter due to regulations.

Deregulation enables higher competition, reducing costs to consumers & increases options.

The reason we have shitty touch screens is because the government regulates competitors from entering.
How is it better exactly?
We are talking about generation ships so one lifetime isn’t a limit. Second, they said no unmodified life would make it. Third, I wouldn’t be so quick to rule out the Copernican principal when it comes to rocky planets in the Goldilocks zone, you’re just making the same mistake that those who said any planets were a rare event and they were very wrong. Small planets are hard to spot and most of the ones we’ve found have short orbital periods around small stars. Using transits for detection is also very limiting because the orbital plane has to align perfectly with ours. Hell, there was just a story about the JWT finding a bunch of Jupiter sized planets in interstellar space that nobody predicted so it’s looking like planets are everywhere more abundant than we thought.
I agree. I think, in general, Uber was a good thing. Cab companies really were one of those shitty monopolies that treated their customers poorly because they had no pressure to innovate or even listen to their customers much at all.

The main issues with Uber are not that it’s a gig economy job, it’s that it externalizes much of the costs to drivers in ways that are difficult for the average driver to amortize. Beyond that, it can be something of a trap. It requires very little skill to drive, and there is essentially no upward mobility or ability to upskill through continued labor. But that is not unique to Uber.
Personally, as someone active in Twitter's Birdwatch / Community Notes, I don't even want to imagine what the actual paid moderators get to see. What CN gets is a ton of propaganda (mostly from Russian-backed troll farms and their Western accomplices) and only a few bits of gore (most of that purported to be from the current I/P conflict, but actually from other, sometimes many years old wars and conflicts). And that's bad enough.
I don't know what's going on with people complaining that "oh my kitchen appliance has to connect to the internet". Like...you knew that when you bought it? You weren't forced to buy it. Dumb appliances exist, I have them. They're the cheaper models, and they work just fine.
> It does seem like it would make sense for solving water issues in the southwest, at the very least.

With apologies to those with real estate interests in large swathes of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, at some point you must understand the inherent absurdity of living in an increasingly-inhospitable desert climate, and that no amount of nuclear bombs with which to blast a saltwater canal through Mexico will change the fact that you should move to the Great Lakes if you want access to freshwater.
> Midjourney or Chat-GPT and their output are not possible

Precisely.

> But artificial intelligence is much more than artistic or text authorship.

Correct. But that type of AI takes time to develop. Time we can use to adjust to the changes it brings. ChatGPT, Midjourney, and similar, have developed fast because they are essentially stolen goods resold.

> Should we smash that machine, or should we rather develop a new social contract aware of its existence and power?

As with any tech, we will develop new social contracts and work patterns. Sociopaths want to build tools that completely obliterate industries through theft of people's intellectual property. Those are what's detrimental to society. Everything else is beneficial, and we will change our patterns of behaviour. Computers were meant to eliminate accountants, architects, graphic designers, etc. but we have ever more accountants, architects and graphic designers. Also if everyone is able to use said ai, then everyone is at the same level, meaning we need to figure out ways to get ahead, and for that we need people.

This whole madness that society will end is solely based on the idea that we will steal what they built so far and resell it. We need to push these thieves back to the sewers where they belong.
1) You can basically do this today with Blueprints. There's also things like Pyscript [0].
2) The Node-RED implementation in HA is phenomenal and kids can very easily use with a short introduction.
3) Again, already there. ESPHome is a first class citizen in HA.

I feel like you've not read the HA docs [1,] or took the time to understand the architecture [2]. And, for someone who has more than enough self-proclaimed skills, this should be a very understandable system.

On Desktop I am perfectly happy running Debian sid again after a long detour to Mac OS X until it got enshittified too much. Ubuntu is interesting for enterprise use though, the microcloud and LXC/LXD stuff is at least worth considering if starting to build things up on bare metal. Containers are relatively easy with Nomad/K8s, but if you want to spin up your own VM layer (OpenStack?) then I would consider Ubuntu before going to Nutanix and others
I'm around :) Mu is currently on the backburner in favor of my Freewheeling Apps built on LÖVE (https://akkartik.name/freewheeling; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36113115), particularly Lua Carousel (https://akkartik.itch.io/carousel; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38397715).

But I'm still open to jamming on Mu with somebody who knows more about OS development. Things like programming the PIC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_interrupt_control...) or testing against real hardware. For example, I'm kinda at an impasse with https://github.com/akkartik/mu/issues/52 and would really appreciate some advice from an expert.

I wish all software products would do that. Chat applications are like a busy town square where everybody is yelling into the crowd and important information doesn't survive the moment, while a discussion forum will eventually grow into a public library which preserves information and makes it searchable (assuming that search engines have access to the information of course).
> What Is The Difference Between A Dockerfile, An Image And A Container?

I would like to know what the difference is between a stopped container and an image.
It _is_ a funny quote.

But I would still point out that this is the exact reason “dynamic” does not help if you do not know about the history. Since it can be applied to anything, it does not help you trim down what it can refer to.
What do you find difficult about the calibre interface? It seems quite intuitive to me. To be fair, I only add metadata (tags, scores, descriptions, covers, series info etc) and polish ebooks. I just add books to my ereader after that.
Ah yes, the crippling costs of checks notes "installing seatbelts". That's definitely the problem.
The West already has the lowest carbon emissions out of all major industrialized regions. The worst polluters are India and China, both of which are building more coal plants. Crippling our economy while they build theirs is insipid.
One car maker that doesn't seem too terrible so far with this is Renault. I drive a Zoe and looked at an electic Twingo and those cars are basic but in a nice way. You get physical buttons, a small screen you can run AndroidAuto/CarPlay on and no "smartass" features. There is a companion app that tells you the state of charge and that's it.

I also did a GDPR request to Renault and either they are lying or they don't collect any telemetry. The drivetrain components are all simple parts and fixable in most repair shops. The battery and motor are another thing of course (needs a trained electrician), but that's probably inherent to EVs. Never had any software issues or updates preventing me from driving.

Regarding the points in the article:

* Critical cuttons are all there

* Buttons are located where you'd expect and can be operated without looking

* Lights are bright AF, sorry oncoming traffic :(

* Basic tires and lots of standard Clio parts all over

* App with a subscription you can ignore without major loss of functionality (remote heating)

* All smartphones i plugged in via USB work

* Paintwork: Everybody seems to get the white Zoe, good luck finding your car in a parking lot. Interior is black and white recycled plastic.

Still, highly recommended and fun vehicles :)
Oh yeah -- when I first tried that out and it worked my mind was blown.
Thanks! I should have planned better for that before posting.
One week before the first lockdown - when most offices had sent their staff home - HelloFresh were knocking door to door on my street to flog subscriptions, not minding that they might have been spreading the virus.
What part couldn't you figure out? Where you editing ebooks or just managing a library? Not a contributor here, just curious.

Edit: I've read a few more comments and some a free with you, while others think it works fine. I'm wondering if there's something about the UI that clicks with some but not others.
OP here - I wholeheartedly agree.

As I mentioned in another comment further down, I was not aware of the redirect message before posting what I felt was a great blog post summarizing the recent advancements in Fedora Asahi Remix (my daily driver for software development and personal use).
Nice work. I did a little “cheat sheet” a while back which has some Kubernetes and even Windows containers stuff too. Always interesting what parts of systems different developers use based on their requirements. https://github.com/nycdotnet/docker-cheat-sheet
A bulk image compression service
https://captaindavinci.github.io/filecompressor/

Hi, so over the weekend I built a free to use service to compress one or more images using MozJEPG encoding enabled via WASM.

It's a static site, all the processing happens on the client side, no file uploads or sign-ups needed!

Why? The existing services are either filled with ads or require you to sign-up / pay.

would greatly appreciate any feedback! TIA!
SVB’s failure was due to the same trigger but opposite impact. Banks in the US have to hold a percentage of their deposits in something safe and liquid. SVB made a big bet on low interest rates, buying a lot of government debt (safest available), but when interest rates went up the value of those bonds went down ( who’d buy one that paid low interest rate when higher was on offer?).
The family vehicle for much of my childhood was a late 80s model Aries K station wagon. Always managed to fit everybody and all our stuff, and always got us there (albeit not always with speed, particularly on mountain roads… that little 4-cylinder wasn’t exactly a powerhouse).

Really a very practical vehicle. Just needed a little more oomph.

The post argues that modern cars really are better than ever, the problem is enshittification from focusing on the wrong aspects, making the experience worse than it could be.

Your modern car could be a lot better than it is, but it probably would hurt sales.
> Cars are getting bigger because through marvel of technology that has become economical to manufacture and operate

Cars are getting bigger because they can be made bigger?

Did anyone ask; "would you _like_ a bigger car?"?

Putting aside everything else, I don't appreciate these massive things taking up so much space that often we have to sacrifice an entire extra parking space in a row so that we can park safely.
Thats why you hold on to youngtimers.
Not so uncool when you stick all the kids, the dog and the luggage inside, two kayaks and two rigid SUP boards on the roof and three bikes on the back rack.
I agree with all this, particularly about the interface. Nobody wants to drive an iPad. But let's talk about why. There's a spot on the chart marked "The moment execs decide they need to increase revenue". The poster child for this attitude was the BMW seat warmer subscription [1]

Another striking example was Macbooks. The 2011-2012 Macbook Air was an unbelievably good piece of hardware. It didn't make too many compromises for thinness (unlike the 12" Macbook that came later, thank you Johnny Ive for that). It had a useful amount of performance (again, unlike the 12" Macbook). And the kicker was the price. $1300 or so for a 13" MBA was unbelievably good value. This was previously the top end of the "ultrabook" market. Competitors couldn't produce hardware that competed with the Macbook Air on price.

The problem for Apple was it was too cheap. Average Selling Price ("ASP") went down. Johnny Ive no longer had Steve Jobs to tell him "no" too, which didn't help. So we got the much-ridiculed and almost completely useless Touch Bar, coupled with one of the worst laptop keyboards ever designed (allegedly to cut 0.5mm from the thickness). Why? To raise the ASP. That was literally the only reason.

So with cars and laptops and pretty much every other product you look at if you look deeply enough you see that the company's interests don't match the consumer's interests. The idea that "free markets" will create products consumer wants is a lie.

Cars you could once repair a lot of things yourself. Now there are computer systems you need to interface with. Not all of these are bad of course like some improve fuel efficiency, for example. But they are locked down so you can't repair them even if you wanted to. This is an opportunity for even more revenue. If it wasn't for Google Maps you would absolutely have to pay for a subscription for maps.

But the biggest problem with cars is how necessary they are, deliberately so. We've built our entire infrastructure to create car dependence and that makes life worse for everyone, whether you like driving or not.

Nice summary.

I can add to the list of attack vectors a case where the WAF introduced a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability. The site it was supposedly protecting was blank, i.e. it just returned a 404 error or something. But just by appending a URL parameter with JS in it, the WAF would trigger and reflect the code. So I was able to build an outlook web app lookalike for phishing on a site with the domain of the company.
