Any discussion of the ski market that doesn't discuss climate change is missing out on major factors.

Why are no new resorts built to meet rising demand? Because any new resort is likely to be unskiable before it pays itself off. (Esp given all the best locations are already taken).

Why are mulit-resort ski passes of more interest now? Because it reduces the risk of buying a pass for a resort that has a crap snow year. (Also other factors like cheaper travel, ofc)
I went looking for KDE, but was disappointed. From the FAQ on https://projectbluefin.io/:

> What if I want something like KDE or another window manager?

> Bluefin is an opinionated GNOME experience. However Universal Blue provides a maintained set of base images for anyone to be able to make a custom image. We hope Bluefin acts as an inspiration for others to build their own communities around user experiences. For example check out Bazzite if you want a great KDE gaming experience, similar to SteamOS.

The Bazzite link 404s, but there is info at https://universal-blue.org/blog/2023/11/08/bazzite-20/ and https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite. Seems mostly focused on SteamDeck.

Can you add a checkbox for lossy vs lossless compression? If you are doing lossy compression on PNGs, might as well change it to a non-png file. FYI, there are great lossless PNG compression algorithms out there - PNGcrush, oxipng, etc. ImageOptim has a bunch built-in.
This only emphasizes the need for NATO to reinvest in radar-guided anti-aircraft guns. Frankly, it's a bit troubling that the Europeans have been so slow to respond to the war in Ukraine (e.g., EU artillery shell production still vastly lags Russia's despite the Russian economy being the size of Italy's). With the US looking more and more like an unreliable security partner in the region, the time for the Europeans to revamp their military industrial complex was yesterday.

I keep seeing this from people online but I have yet to see Nix in the wild at any large organization. For such a "game-changing" thing, it certainly doesn't have the meat space following you see online.

To me, I tried Nix, got frustrated with packages, realized I'm just using someone else's abstractions for defining configuration files (with the same kind of quality you'd find on Ansible galaxy), and realized it's not solving a problem I have.
The "rules of the road" in the US are completely slanted towards cars and against all other road users. That makes complying with them inconvenient and dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists to the advantage of cars.

For example very few countries have "right turn on red" laws like the US has. That law alone is responsible for hundreds of pedestrian deaths. Jaywalking laws were introduced to benefit cars irrespective the fact that they make life insufferable for pedestrians when legal crossings are so few and far between in the US.
I was in a similar spot. After too much hand wringing I decided to sign up for monthly ($10/month) sync and give it a solid two months. These are important tools that I’m happy to pay for, but they do take some time to evaluate. I figured $20 was a reasonable amount to commit to.

FWIW I ended up going all in on Obsidian and paying yearly, but that outcome was far from a forgone conclusion, even a month in. I went through a full cycle of honeymoon phase, then discovering warts, and then workarounds, etc. It does take time.

You're probably right that things can be improved. But my implementation has the aforementioned latencies right now.

For the benchmarks I did my best writing good Lua, but I am not a pro. Call overhead is also subtracted out of every benchmark after call overhead is measured. So that extra overhead is a permanent feature of these implementations. I also noticed that most of my script functions have at least ~3-4 arguments, which seems like it would be quite costly. Just look at the 8x arg benchmark and divide by 2, I guess. Another 100ns right there. Baseline 150ns on a micro benchmark is going to become at least a microsecond in prod when everything is random and semi-cold.
Wow, I wish I'd discovered this about 12 hours ago. I just built a new PC yesterday and started installing and configuring Silverblue today, and basically everything I spent this afternoon on is automated by this project. Getting VSCode devcontainers working with Silverblue + Distrobox in particular would have saved me some time. Since I'm not particularly invested in my Silverblue setup yet, I'm installing this now.

Seconding you here. This reads like a very shallow analysis of a much complex problem.

There's a good amount of data that suggests that we should indeed can performance reviews. The best approach here would be to start assessing and questioning the assumptions behind the "need" to have them. Like for example how fair (objectively) you think you can be when you're "evaluating" someone and not risking alienating the rest?

What exactly would this "cleaner base" look like? A main goal of Nix is a completely reproducible deployment, and many tools are not built for declarative usage, so Nix must add a layer on top in order to make them declarative. If you only go part way, then the entire point of Nix is nullified. Might as well use Ansible.

That being said, it's really not that difficult to use tools in their original form on Nix is you want. You can create temporary FHS shells in which tools just work. I do this with Python, as I can't be bothered to do it the "right" way when I just want to run some random script from github.

> I know a lot of people talk about the tooling not being there, but I'm not sure that's the case. Web development is a very open field, there is a ton of documentation, and a lot of easy ways to get started. Just open developer tools in your browser and you can write Javascript - things were never the easy with flash. There's also plenty of free tools for building things with, from game libraries to animation editors, to IDEs.

But a lot of JavaScript/web tooling is basically about making "web applications out of what once was a document framework".

Flash was more of a gateway to creative interactive content than "webapps"/games imo. MS paint -> vector art -> animation with sounds -> interactive content was that really good creative path way. Action script didn't mean maintainable code. It just meant you could easily add simple actions to various events. I honestly believe that tool alone gave birth to a lot of the cultural forces you mention.

I remember cartoon network and movie studios releasing lot more interactive websites for their content in Flash.

But you're right, a lot more content gets consumed on mobile / tablets these days than desktops, and i guess people/businesses are optimizing for that.

It can be game changing for individuals - it was for me. But is hard to deploy at scale, at least to workstations, unless everyone on the team is motivated and skilled enough to do it, or the team started from the beginning with it. It also has a steep learning curve. There are several quant and defense firms that use it as their main workstation and deployment OS, where most individuals are highly skilled and rigorous accurate deployments are a must.
Coming from Australia the way London house sales work seems like such a complete disaster.

This is my thinking as well. We need to build for the task at hand not try and integrate into what we already have. The first sentence in this article is where the failed assumptions are.

"Trucking was supposed to be the ideal first application of autonomous driving. Freeways contain predictable, highly structured
driving scenarios.."

When sharing the road with human drivers this statement makes no sense as all. Vehicle's are their own entities with no connection to each other outside of the road, signage and defined lanes. Instead of trying to build sensors for a existing 8-lane highway just do it for (2) isolated lanes. You don't have to plan for 100% of human scenarios if they are mostly removed. We don't fly airplanes adjacent, behind, ahead, etc of each other why is the assumption that autonomous trucks need to be on the same road as everyone else.

Hm. I did a quick search on freight percentages, EU vs US and google gave me this snippet off the top hit. "46 percent of European freight goes by truck while only 11 percent goes by rail, while in the United States more than 40 percent goes by rail while just 30 percent goes on the highway."

Seems US is doing pretty well on prioritising freight rail transport, despite brainwashing, at least compared to europe.

Which is probably a good thing. Until that figure is a lot higher, passenger rail is just one more thing reducing the efficiencies of freight.

Interference isn't a problem in speaker cables because it is an amplified signal, so any added noise is too little to be audible.
Don't know if they still do it but about a decade ago there was a group in the DragonCon parade where each member would dress as a different element. Given it was DragonCon, I thought it would be funny if another group did the same but for imaginary elements and compounds like Flubber and Unobtanium. Comic books are full of that type of thing. Maybe a Periodic Table of Fantasy Elements could be made.
Freight trains run usually at 80-120km/h on railways with at-grade-crossings (for higher speeds you would need better brakes, and more energy which doesn't really make sense for freight). At least in Europe you only need to eliminate at-grade-crossings if you want to run trains over 160km/h
Two points:

Digital audio, no matter how high quality and how many channels, uses vastly less bandwidth than even the lowest quality video signal these days. At absolute best, lossless audio with 16 channels is still less total bandwidth than even USB2.0 speeds. It’s just not fast.

Although signal integrity matters, signal integrity in digital signals is almost always not silent degradation. And often is extremely obvious degradation. So if your cable has problems, you know almost immediately (or, when it happens you know). Unlike analog audio, it either works or it doesn’t. In the marginal case you don’t just get worse sounding audio… you just don’t have audio periodically which sounds super obvious to the ear.

> Exactly and LLMs dont have emotions, audiovisual experience, human experience or any experience at all.
> For LLMs its impossible to create anything else than copy of art thats in its database.

You forget that LLMs don't generate images out of its own volition. You need to prompt them. That's the injection of emotions, human experience, into the LLM. LLM provides technical means to create an image, the prompt author provides the idea behind the art, the composition, juxtaposition etc.

> Saying that art is “just” recombination of prior art is extremely dehumanising.

Based on your previous lines, you did notice that I mentioned "prior art, audiovisual experience, emotions, human experience", so I won't reply to that strawman.
A lot of professional audio gear uses 5.08mm connectors. I bet WAGO makes some of them!

But be careful with NM-B cable. I didn’t find an exact reference in the NEC, but I bet that Article 200 and friends would not approve of the reuse of the bare conductor for anything other than ground and might also disapprove of using the white conductor for anything other than neutral. (If you’re not installing the cable in the wall, maybe it’s not subject to the NEC.)

Get some nice TC cable instead.

Innovation takes money. And lots of it.

The US is strapped for cash, with a 35 trillion dollar deficit. There's none spare to outlay on innovation.

OTOH, China is awash with cash. They can afford to throw huge amounts of cash at innovation, even if some of the R&D they've funded is a dead-end. Plenty cash left over for the successful R&D.

The US has shot itself in the foot with this one. The Chinese were perfectly happy to spend billions each year to 'buy built' US semiconductors instead of having to lay out hundreds of billions for their own semiconductor industry.

But now the Chinese are forced to 'roll their own', they will. And a few years down the track, those newly-built Chinese fabs will out-compete the Western fabs and destroy them.

Historical Note:

After WW2, the Japanese and German factories had all been destroyed by bombing. On rebuilding, those new factories were modern, efficient and could out-compete the British and American factories that were older and had not been destroyed during the war. Same thing applies today.

True, Microsoft & Friends have gotten greedy every passing year. Before they used to develop the platform (OS,DB etc.,) and let others develop and sell apps on it that would benefit them as well as the whole ecosystem.

Now they want every last dollar they can squeeze out of the ecosystem. So they don't leave any stone unturned and they have big pockets to do that.

> other chips might be faster somewhat but they use more power and need active cooling

TH1520 is a bit disappointing. It benchmarks faster on Dhrystone, Coremark, my primes benchmark etc, but on real world work it is often slower. I've found it about 10% slower building the GNU toolchain. Richard Jones has noted the same thing building Fedora packages. On the Dotnet "LINQ" tests the vf2 takes 4.5 minutes while the LPi4A takes 5.5 minutes.

The vf2 has NVMe (which I'm not using). It has faster I/O to the same external Samsung 2 TB USB3 SSD which I use on both boards. The 2 MB of L2 cache on the vf2's JH7110 vs the 1 MB on the TH1520 probably also contributes to real-world performance.

> I am very hopeful for Milk-V Oasis

Yup. I don't believe the promised timeline, but SOPHGO have proven they can make a decent SoC, the Oasis will be much cheaper than the Pioneer, and 16x Arm A78 equiv is much more useful for most people most of the time than 64x A72 equiv. That's 13 SPECInt2006/GHz vs 6, per core, so significantly better on anything using up to 16 threads, and no worse for anything that uses no more than 32 threads. The SiFive cores will also be a lot more standards-compliant.
