> “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

Saw that quote I think on HN a while ago.

Grief sucks. It's different than our other emotions. You can do all the right things and have everything going for you after, but it's still always there and never goes away. Something you truly how to live with and not be afraid to face or run from. This tragedy is different because in a way is ongoing. I found the post extremely inspirational. Best of luck on the new journey. Seems like they'll figure it out.
Yes, Qualcomm Oryon is tied with Apple A17/M3 although it's coming out 9-16 months later.
Thank you for sharing. I've found it helps to talk about these things. When my own mother died, I didn't immediately feel sad. It was a range of emotions; I was really surprised at how much I laughed. Not that I found it funny, but something within me just seemed to break.
I wouldnt spoil the fun of explaining such an obvious pun. Why ask?
I believe it's related to PC standardization really kicking in during the 90's. Before that point, cross-platform abstraction existed but was relatively bespoken to the application, and you couldn't rely on coordination of developers with users that could run out and upgrade to this year's latest, because the pre-32bit desktop hardware kept changing architectures in radically incompatible ways - segmented memory, cooperative multitasking, etc. As such your data export was usually not to another computer, but to paper.

After 1995 you had convergence on Wintel: they won the desktop architecture wars, the address space was large and flat so applications could grow, and Linux, Unicode and the Web were still nascent but all existed in a "right place, right time" sense to drive adoption.

The SSD era slowed things down because right around that time, the focus shifted towards mobile computing, which saw the same treadmill from the start of the iPhone era. The older generation phones of this era are largely uninteresting curios, perhaps valued only if they happen to store an old game that got removed from the stores.

IoT seems to be the next wave, still working towards the big shake-out and standards convergence: "computer as a feature" is increasingly possible to a degree that was unreasonable before.
That's very interesting, I've never heard of that.

Of course that couldn't do really anything about typical airbourne diseases, but it should help "clean" surfaces somewhat. I wonder if anyone has studied the effect of that.
Absolutely not. If anything, that's further evidence of my point, and I literally almost mentioned it before deciding my comment was getting a bit rambling already.

Anyhow, assuming for the sake of argument that OKCupid's data is valid and replicates, then there's two responses:

The short and somewhat silly argument is that women also say they care about attractiveness a lot less than men do, so it all averages out. Men care about attractiveness and have an accurate perception of it; women don't care about it and have an inaccurate perception of it. Neither a big deal nor surprising.

The longer point though is that yes, men, judging women's attractiveness, say very different things than women do, when judging men's attractiveness (again, if we believe OKCupid's data). But that doesn't tell us anything about how men and women perceive attractiveness, it just tells us how they talk about attractiveness, and in the exact same way that we might be skeptical when a man says "there's literally no one to date" (and suspect they mean there's just no one they feel meets their standards who will date them), we might be skeptical of a woman that marks most men down as being below average attractiveness. Is there, say, some bit of cultural conditioning pushing women to rank men as unattractive when they don't want to date them for a non-appearance reason? Or to rank men as unattractive to avoid seeming too eager, even when they do find them attractive? How often do women end up dating men they rank as unattractive, and how does this rate compare to the rate of men dating women they rank as unattractive? And we could go on, but the point is that when you start to dig into it, the pattern falls apart, suggesting this is a quirk of the survey design at best, and not an real insight into meaningful differences betweem male and female bahaviour.
I'll explain it. Giving worse results sells more pay per click ads.

I've seen this in many search terms. Purposefully push down the things that people are looking for and they will click on ads.

Those sites that have a ton of extra info? Many of them also sell in content ads right?

The ad machine took over long ago and you are forced to play the ad auction game if you want to show up in results, and if people are looking for something they are forced to scroll past a lot of ads.

I watched this happen in chunks over time. It wasn't always like this, but it is now, and it's been a slow creep over time.
Yeah I'm not fucking around with that. Solid block of black removes the guesses. (Caveats for layered documents like PDFs).
Digital copies on consoles still get 30%, and console agreements may include additional royalties beyond that.

There is no way, on any major console, to "opt out" of the fee.

Mac has the same options available to developers as Windows.

Steam's third-party redemption mechanic is notable, and awesome.

On Android, different third-party stores have different fees. Samsung, for instance, charges the same 30% as Google. Epic's store charges 12%.
on the contrary I'm really disappointed in how long its taking anything to get into production.

Whisper and self-hostable LLMs had a cambrian explosion about 1 year ago, I attended a GPT4 hackathon last March and in 48 hours saw people hook up Speech2Text -> LLM -> Text2Speech pipelines for their live demos. I thought we would all have babelfish by June.

Months later I later attended some conferences with international speakers that really wanted to have live, translated-on-the-fly captions, but there wasn't anything off the shelf they could use. I found a helpful repo to use whisper with rolling transcription but struggled to get the python prerequisites installed (involving hardlinking to a tensorflow repo for my particular version of m1 CPU). It was humbling and also hype-busting to realize that it takes time to productize, and that the LLMs are not magic that can write these applications themselves.

In the meantime even Google hasn't bothered to run the improved transcription models on YouTube videos. They are still old 80% accurate tech that's useless on anyone with an accent.

Just tried creating a fb account to manage some ads

It let me create the account, but then to manage the ads they had me create a business account, and a few seconds later, they blocked my fb account

Exactly the same thing happened to someone else I’m working with

We are trying to appeal, but seems like it might go nowhere

Any tips would be appreciated
I'm still using a Late 2014 Mac mini running Monterey. I use BBEdit and web browsers more than anything so other than the startup time it's not really much slower to use than a current Mac mini.

I still want one though.
i don't think that flohofwoe was claiming the line numbers weren't stored, just that the textual representation with line numbers maybe isn't the correct measure
> YMMV. I took LSD. It didn't do a whole lot other than make me think I could play the piano when I definitely can't. The only life changing thing was I was down some cash which I could have spent on something else. A friend at the time took it and killed themselves a month later.

I remember one trip I was reading this book called Be Here Now by Ram Dass. Very new-agey, acid culture type thing. A very spiritually intense book

I remember having this lingering feeling of "I probably shouldn't be doing these" because of some mental health history on my mother's side of the family. I remember there was this part of it about how people go insane off of psychedelics, turning the page and seeing this lightning bolt hitting a giant tower and seeing a bunch of people falling to the ground out of it. And right when I saw that, I heard the loudest thunder I have ever heard in my entire life (it was raining outside). Like it shook the whole fucking house

Afterwards I looked up the dude who wrote the book, saw he was a "new age" guy with a white robe on and sort of felt like I was tricked, and that the lightning was some type of coincidence. In hindsight I see this as pride from my part. Also that was the last time I did a psychedelic. There's this saying with them where "you get the message and hang up the phone", that was my cue

I was an atheist up to this point but that scared this fear into me that there's something out there. You can rationalize and come up with reasons to deny that (it isn't hard), but I'd rather not personally. At least, I feel more at peace now after accepting that there is
No. I’m saying the military didn’t lose the war, American and Afghani politicians did. And not because we decided to leave, but because there was no strong strategic reason to be there after the primary casus belli was accomplished: the elimination of Al-Qaeda from the region.

Roblox is not a bad choice. Janky graphics but it is very expressive. For example minecraft in roblox is quite impressive
Yeah, I wasn’t super-thrilled with their response. OTOH, I eventually came back to using it, my (arguably justified) snit in that thread notwithstanding.

I kept trialing alternatives like VimWiki, Joplin and Logseq, but everything else is even quirkier. Org-mode is about the only thing that seemed really competitive, but since I’m not an emacs person there’s a big ramp there for me. Plus, as with most of the alternatives, that loses Markdown compatibility entirely.

Re learn new hotkeys, that’s actually not been a huge issue. Most of them simply aren’t mapped by default, which is its own pain. I did a lot of bouncing between VSCode hotkey lists and the Obsidian hotkeys UI to align shortcuts. At least they do enable you to remap most every UI action. I haven’t used the built-in vim bindings, but supposedly they also work fairly well, fwiw.

For now, Obsidian + Obsidian Tasks just does way too good a job for my work journaling for me to completely ignore. Plugins do work around most of the more questionable behavior, though it does sometimes make for an inconsistent experience.
Taylor would, correctly, have knowledge workers filling out very detailed timesheets of their daily activities in order to optimize overall efficiency.

Sure, let's factor in breaks, but let's also factor time spent in meetings, emails, interviewing candidates, maintenance work, capitalization work, training new hires, R&D, etc, etc.

Only then can we understand the true costs of this kind of labor. Taylor had factories where it was easy to inspect and measure. If you want the kind of scientific management that shows a measurable increase in how long and how many breaks that a knowledge working should take, then you need detailed data on their baseline productivity.

I am using htmx. I still have a nagging feeling that this has mostly dragged the overton window back towards hypermedia (big fan of the book, recommended).

It still feels wrong. I don’t know if I mean wrong as in “incorrect” or wrong as in “cheating/too easy.”

It gracefully makes sites work like it’s 2025 or 1999, but I have to design my markup like it’s 1999. I can never decide if this is good or bad.

My projects all depend on an API for automation. So by buying into this doctrine, and rejecting even content negotiation, I am at least doubling my endpoints.

It’s like being 12 years old, and falling in love with a “bad girl” who doesn’t go to church—and never shows up to class—but makes you remember a lot of basic truths.

Being less poetic. Installing python-multipart to do anything interactive with forms seems like a codesmell, but I don’t know what it is ;)

EDIT: my final comment was not a diss on htmx obviously. But the idea of using browser-consumable response data after the success of computer-readable encodings for web apps

(I guess I just mean hashmaps/dicts/json/object)
Stunning. My high school roommate (1996-7ish) had a Sparcbook. He let me use it a few times, and even at the time it just felt good.

I still have the dot matrix printout of everything I ran / wrote on a TI-99/4a in the early nineties. I wish my parents hadn't s#!tcanned that machine when I went to college, I bet I could write markdown with a modem and some kind of VCS on it to publish content even on the modern web with that old dog.

Anyway, that's not to hijack your comment - even at the time, probably almost 15 years after the TI-99/4a came out I felt like there were restrictions on what you could do with a machine that kept you focused on the task at hand in really productive ways. So I totally understand.
Cron was acquired by notion 2 years back.

But transition was definitely confusing. I was waiting for the Cron app to open and it did not. Later I discovered Notion calendar, I was wondering who installed it?
I've found the use of psychedelics and higher level thinking a particularly effective tool at mitigating the effects of PTSD. It's hard to explain but in some ways it's like when dr. Strange first goes to Kamar-Taj.
Sounds like a terrible board as well. Not surprised to see Andreesen amongst them.
how did you edit your comment after it got visible to others?
Having toiled in the Google mines for almost as long a tenure as Ben before my time came in 2021, the words 'The conflict between “uncomfortable culture” and “golden handcuffs” was becoming intolerable.' could not ring any truer.
You are not. As a dev I understand the temptation of Tailwind, but I don’t see the benefits really worth it in all cases where I see it’s used. Writing plain CSS just makes so much more sense in the long run.
IMO the first book was the strongest, followed by the third, I found the 2nd a slog to get through.
I feel like you are wearing some very strong rose colored glasses; I personally think it’s naive to believe that remote workers are always highly engaged. People optimize their work productivity around different personal goals.. and I have worked with many who seem to try to do as little work as possible to not get fired. Which often involves a lot of loathing and procrastination.

It would be wonderful for employers and employees alike if computer work was always interesting. But it just isn’t. Amazon Turk workers are in front of computer out of necessity and probably would like to commit the least amount of work for the maximal possible reward. I happen to be of slightly better means but share their sentiment exactly.
She'd be fine
Can you elaborate? There is no mention of that in the roadmap ( https://obsidian.md/roadmap/ ).
Looks amazing. Love the interactive demo images
When I was ten years old, I played a lot of web games built on Flash technology and asked my parents how I could build my own. My parents sat me down and taught me the very basics of how to code. I didn't learn very well from them, but they also bought me a textbook and I learned great from that. By age 12, I had recreated a lot of the games I was fond of, pacman, snake, space invaders, etc.

Maybe the bar was lower for my interests at the time (flash mini games vs AAA 3D games as described here), but just offering a different take: Maybe your son _would_ very much be interested in learning to code. Though starting with 2d retro games might be easier.
Nobody has mentioned having to sell ICE cars, so that's a strawman that doesn't apply.

In terms of buying, yes, if all new cars must be EVs then an EV is the only thing you will be able to buy new.
Same here, see my comment below. I should add that I do plenty of compiling programs from C# for a specific application and it's still almost instantaneous.
2008- is important because it's when average cars started installing ESP/ESC/VSC that helps winter driving much.

Why not combine both? Make notes in Obsidian, but add the information worth memorizing as Anki cards inside the Obsidian?
Depends on your definition of meaningful and interesting. I have no doubt that public school teaching, working in a nursing home, working as a social worker is meaningful, but I wouldn’t find any of those to be interesting.
What’s the text to speech generator that chatGPT uses? It’s the most impressive one I’ve heard so far.
I believe the issue is on access to the target operating system (iOS) rather than storefronts.

Steam does not sell iOS software. They sell games for Mac, Windows and Linux which you can buy also directly or at a competitor such as GOG, if the developer chooses to.

To sell into the iOS ecosystem as a Dev you can only do it via Apple so far. Epic wants to sell their own iOS multiplayer games and in app lootboxes without forking 30% to Apple.

I do wonder: anybody knows if Amazon pays Apple for the things I buy through their iOS app?
It is me! I've been good. I've been following and playing your games for years, back to the Super Energy Apocalypse days. I'll try to find a way to reach out, but my username here follows me around the internet.
I accomplished this at about his age using Scratch, cannot recommend it highly enough.
Besides the many useful suggestions below about which software to use for this assuming he wants to make a COMPUTER game, I would also explore what is his idea? Could you just "build" it with cardboard, a board drawn on a computer and printed out and various physical pieces? Or at least, do that for a prototype of the core part of the game and gameplay? I think it would be useful to learn the concept of a "minimum viable product" in this context (or rather, "minimum quantum of utility" to get away from preconceived ideas about what a "product" is..). Being able to get it to a point where people can first actually try to play it is really useful, and lets you get feedback early without all the overhead of the actual computer programming (if needed)

"Yule" - is the Germanic word for the Christmas period, and there are "Yule" logs. So it could be a misinterpretation of this?
In their paper they say "To prevent overfitting, we use Low-Rank Adaption (LoRA) [35] for fine-tuning . . ."

I'm way out of my league here so I have no opinion on whether or not that actually addresses overfitting.

I'm curious what car is it?

I started thinking maybe a sporty car (thus gas tank is not huge) with a huge engine (bad MPG) but couldn't find anything, even a Viper seems to get over 300 miles on the highway. Maybe some Ferrari with particularly bad MPG? Seems the worst is a 812GT, but that has a range of just under 300 miles. So I give up, what is it?
A semi-relevant anecdote: over the Christmas break (which was > 2 weeks for me), I was pouring 12-14 hours a day into my personal hobby project and didn’t feel tired or bored at all. I literally couldn’t stop working on it.

Now that I’m back at my regular job (which, I must concede, is an amazing job on paper and something I spent a lifetime getting to), I can barely survive the day and have zero energy after 16:00.
