Thank you. Those are my thoughts exactly. The title was wrong: it should've been "Why to Take Smart Notes". I'd already decided I was interested before I ever bought the book and I wish it hadn't wasted 3/4 of pages trying to further convince me. I finished it and still had no idea how to practically implement the magical system it described.

I've also never read a book so packed with redundancy.
As someone in the Triangle, no I've never seen one of these. The article mentions Charlotte specifically.
That's what the cost of the dev license is supposed to be paying for.
So I realize that the title is slightly misleading. It's obviously not a pure hardware implementation of Quake, but rather the original Quake software renderer running on a custom soft processor in an FPGA.

I like to use it as a benchmark while developing the CPU. E.g cache performance and branch predictor performance is so much more interesting in the context of a full game, rather than some boring synthetic benchmark.

The reason for the title, though, is that I have not seen many instances of Quake running on an FPGA, in any form (Doom is fairly common, but not Quake).

However there area few interesting projects on the aame theme:

* Quake level viewer with a custom GPU and a RISC-V soft processor: https://twitter.com/sylefeb/status/1564758778830065666

* A pretty fast general purpose GPU on an FPGA that can display Quake (FuryGPU): https://www.youtube.com/@dbarrie/videos
It seems to handle whatever junk I throw at it in whatever format it comes in. I guess because it is used to remix all kinds of junk video files that people find around the Net.
Nextjs and native browser components that I style in ways that are familiar to mobile app users. So like ,<input> and you use CSS to give it 8px border radius and 48px height. Since I'm going for a material style with an iOS feel I mix the forms. Another example is I use a hamburger menu but I use sf symbols light "icon" as an SVG.
My problem is that it seems to largely feature on the level of anecdata, but not make it beyond that. It is more a hypothesis like: the rather moderate aggregate progress wouldn't have happened without the internet - but how to show that?

People managed huge coordination efforts before the internet (just take the US in WWII with half the GDP dedicated to war efforts). So claims about the effect of the internet from better coordination there need a lot to substantiate them.
I have 388 items in my password manager. 138 of them use my email address which was found in this breach :(

Not that you're wrong, but there is no reasonable way to rotate all of those. I guess I'll have to spend a few hours manually going through the ones I care about and rotating them?
I had never read Patrick McKenzie's writing before, but the linked article contains a link to a popular article of his from 2012[1], which I read, and his substack[2], a few articles of which I skimmed as well.

The salary negotiation article really doesn't come off as that formal and high level, to me; the tone is rather casual, although it requires knowledge of some advanced vocabulary like "fungible" and "administrativia". I'm not saying this to brag about my reading level; I'm genuinely a bit confused.

I had been expecting something like the preface from the second edition of Jane Eyre[3].

While not my personal knowledge base yet, my personal use case for Obsidian is probably what gives me the most joy for it: as a Dungeon Master’s Worldbuilding Notes / Interactive DM Screen

Where I have used pen and paper in the past to track everything, Obsidian has supercharged my ability to sit down and flesh out my homebrew world in a way that was hard to do for myself prior. On top of the ease of writing and linking together notes, it also allows me to simultaneously tie in my pre-written lore with the session notes I take, so I don’t forget stuff that happens or that my players are supposed to pick up on.

I’ve also encouraged my players to use it, so that if they are taking notes on the right things, they can piece together stuff or make their own assumptions to inform how they choose to play.

It works for us, I get it’s not for everyone. But versus my old DM Binder in OneNote, it works perfectly for my needs!

On a similar, yet separate note, I’ve found the folder/note structure to be conducive to learning new TTRPG rules and essentially having my personal SRDs for different games (currently chunking my way through the Shadowrun 6e SRD and making my own notes or expansions on it to make it make more sense).
Boot them out of family sharing and get them to pay for it themselves
> minimum of 47 million jobs

What would you propose the US workforce did with some 47 million knowledge workers with suddenly useless skills if you removed the only widespread economic mechanism our society has to support them?
In a crowded market, how do you get a job as a software developer?
Capitalism is only the most efficient way of doing things on transaction boundaries in competitive markets. Anything that doesn't have a priced transaction between firms doesn't count, because there's no way to do an end-run around inefficient power structures and replace them.

For example, nobody would think that the current agro-transportation-healthcare system where we make everybody fat with subsidized high-fructose corn syrup, ensure they don't get enough exercise, and then spend massive quantities of money fixing all the obesity-related illnesses is efficient. Nobody thinks the housing stranglehold where home prices get bid up, investors and people who bought them early buy more of them on leverage, and other people go homeless is efficient. Nobody thinks modern enterprise software is efficient.

But these systems are held in place because there's essentially no lever to topple them. The economically rational response to a housing shortage is to build more housing, but if you pick up a hammer and do it yourself, you will get shut down so quickly by the local planning commission and building inspector. Corn subsidies and local zoning are held in place by the government; various people have tried to change them, but democratic government by design moves slowly. It would be a big (and expensive) lifestyle change to cook all your meals at home from fresh ingredients and walk everywhere - people that actually do it tend to be significantly healthier than those who don't, but it requires an economic & free time surplus. Building enterprise software with a good UI is an expensive and pointless waste of time, because the decision maker who decides whether to buy your software usually cares about price, how easy it is for IT to manage, and whether they can blame another company when things go wrong. Hence why we get dumpster fires like Concur.

It's very likely that remote work will end up in a similar situation. The decision-maker for whether your job is remote isn't the employee; it's the employer, sometimes your manager and sometimes someone higher up in the org like a VP or HR. They optimize for their own incentives, which usually includes how easy it is to manage people. For the economically-rational result to happen, remote workers need to be able to start independent firms that are remote-first, so they can do an end-run around their managers. But for that to happen, remote work needs to be more efficient in the competitive, early stages of a new technology market, so that those remote-first companies win the market when it is still winnable. I'm not convinced that's possible; I think in-person work is still significantly more efficient in a highly-ambiguous environment where people don't have well-defined tasks to do, and that's exactly the environment where most companies get founded.

Other people are able to fully consider all the relevant factors, history and circumstances, and still come away with the belief that unions are near-universally bad.
Obviously, the answer is never (unless it's for _very_ specific testing in a dev only environment).

In this case, it's not that they were sending the password directly for any reason, but instead returning the raw SMTP log from sending the email; which as a byproduct had the password in it due to needing to authenticate with the SMTP server.
Because those crap pages are filled to the brim with Google Ads that make up the most of their revenue, it's a conflict of interest.
That isn’t a good comparison.

Vegas, regardless of 1000 other variables you might introduce, is a statistically solid system. You are likely to lose money, with the standard of deviation going down the more you gamble.

Low income, education, whatever, don’t change the strong link of gambling to losses.

And this is most definitely a causal effect. Verifiable by mathematics, any study you want to make trying testing counter vailing variables, the teleology that develops as economic systems adapt to create that causality to flourish, and the designs of gambling systems.

So of course the other variables don’t matter to your financial advisor.

An exception is games where skill can tip odds in your favor, however slight. Such as poker. A financial advisor isn’t going to second guess a poker player with a long standing career of positive outcomes.

It's because teachers unions and police unions are different. Not rocket science.
Sorry, but it has exactly as much influence on behavior and decision making as nutritional studies do in advising people what to eat and how to exercise. ie: zero. Predictions based on correlations don't care whether anyone changes their behavior or not.

This is funny, the moment the absence of IP can benefit large companies it's just a fiction, a made up concept, not too serious at all.

Of course you go onto the OpenAI corporate pitch page and it will proudly say "respects your IP by not training from it!", that's not the part we are looking to get rid of apparently? That's very real?
Oh I saw a bunch of Tiny Mile bots a while ago in Brickell. I was trapped in traffic so seeing the cute little bots cheered me up.

Teacher's unions aren't there to improve student outcomes. They exist for he benefit of teachers. Police unions aren't there to improve public safety. They exist for the benefit of the police.
Rust oddness: integer literal references?
Running Windows 11 on the same exact machine that I ran Windows 10 on, has been a dramatically worse experience performance-wise.

There are several noticeable and unforgivable performance issues that I experience regularly with WIN11.

The most-painful is that the WIN11 START MENU will occasionally (about once or twice per day) for no apparent reason, stop responding for 30-45 seconds.

During this period, keystrokes are not responded to (but they are going into the keyboard buffer). When it recovers from its "blackout" it will spit out everything in the keyboard buffer.

WTF is it doing during those 45 seconds?

I can't prove it but I would bet money that it is trying to send telemetry to the Mother-Ship and got its request "load-balanced" onto a node that is not responding.
Elegance would require more than this. Reasoning, for one.

Honestly, I just live life. I try not to worry about things that I can't control. It's much like worrying about the weather. I can be anxious about the snow storm coming, but what good is that going to do? The snow is coming regardless.
This is such pretentious bullshit.

The ability to realize an idea is way more important than "having ideas".

And I say that "most ideas are just half-formed thoughts" because they are. Most people think an idea like "the Uber of X" is worthwhile. It's not. It's hardly a thought, much less an actual idea.

Everything else you said was basically "nuh-uh, I feel differently and assert that my opinionated feelings are facts". And examples won't matter to you because you'll "no true Scotsman" your way through that saying they are "real" artists or "top talented" artists. As if your opinion on these matters were a subjective criteria.

Not arguing with that. In discussions about Electron, there are often comments along the lines of "Electron apps can be fast if done right, just look at VS Code" and that just doesn't hold true for me.

Copyright law is, and will be, mutable.

In just about a year, kids will be making entire Pixar movies from home. (The content will probably be Skibidi toilet related, but of Pixar scale and scope.)

How that reconciles with copyright, you've got me. It doesn't. It's a domain mismatch. It's completely outmoded by what's coming.

And the music industry is equally toast. I can already make an excellent banger song about superhero rodents in under 30 seconds.
Interesting! I'd definitely prefer that my hospital wasn't destroyed, just damaged. I guess others must feel differently.
> Bosses don't like unions for a reason and we're supposed to be their bosses.

Because the "Bosses" in your example want to extract the maximum out of a worker, in exchange for giving them the absolute minimum.

But I don't want to treat our teachers that way. I don't think of them as just another resource I can minmax my way through.

Furthermore, I'm not my teacher's boss. They're not a public servant; they're hired by a school board, or a principal. Those folks are either elected, or hired by someone else.

I can see, I guess, the reasoning that I'm the boss of anyone I can vote for - but that chain doesn't just keep going forever.
Wait, what? Money is real? I thought it was just a collectively-imagined pile of IOUs to keep track of how many favors someone is owed.
Realistically: No that won't happen (sorry to disappoint you).

There are some niche demos, like a HW raytracer on an FPGA, but full systems is not realistic. General purpose code simply is a bad match for FPGAs.
But there's actual competition underlying this fee structure, since the users can easily move from Amazon to e.g. eBay or really anywhere else in search of some item that they want. The only lock-in that Amazon might have on them is Prime membership, which the users have to actively opt into.

Whereas Apple could start charging 50% tomorrow and still have all the major apps in the store because of their market dominance position combined with ecosystem lock-in and walled garden.

How are we to know if someone didn't just use an affine transform? This is another place where ignorance could result in security leaks.
They actually do exactly this, they’re just not thinking about it. You buy a book because you want the physical possession, which gives you the ability to sell it or give it to someone or display it. Not because you want to read the contents - else you would just borrow it from a library.
In the sense of Sapiens†, yes, copyright is a fiction, but so is money, or any law or contract or agreement. In as much as it affects people's lives and societies and economies it is "real". The question of the article isn't about realness, it's whether it can evolve or survive this latest shift.

> Bellos, a comparative-literature professor at Princeton, and Montagu, an intellectual-property lawyer, find this kind of rent-seeking objectionable. They complain that corporate copyright owners “strut the world stage as the new barons of the twenty-first century,” and they call copyright “the biggest money machine the world has seen.” They point out that, at a time when corporate ownership of copyrights has boomed, the income of authors, apart from a few superstars, has been falling. They think that I.P. law is not a set of rules protecting individual rights so much as a regulatory instrument for business.

Couldn't agree more
I just did, since I only had less than 15 accounts associated with that email, and no hits reported. So either his Password search isn't loaded up yet with the latest breach, or whatever was in that breach was an old password that I've already rotated.
The benefit of marriage is the strength of committing to work together for a lifetime towards your shared goals. Especially wrt raising children, most things are much easier with two people than with one (or with two people who can't rely on the other not to suddenly disappear at any moment).

It's sad that getting the government involved in marriage has led to all those adverse incentives, but it's perfectly possible to get married without being married on paper to reduce those risks (although beware of common-law marriage). Since if someone really wants to spend their life with you and is committed to that, what they care about is you making that commitment to them, not ensuring the state will take your stuff and give it to them if you separate.
Kagi just renders those toxic sites into a grouping called "Listicles" which I then ignore. It's far from perfect, but it's clear that a company with far less money and access than Google doesn't find this an impossible problem to address.

So I would suggest that Google knows what it's doing, it just makes them money.
I've chatted with Jack Dorsey... and some early adopters long time ago.
I agree but I would word it a bit differently: Copyright isn't some fixed, timeless thing. It has been continuously modified to suit the times and to adapt to technological change.

Rather than try to reason about how existing copyright law applies to AI models, we should be focused on changing copyright law to work well in a world with AI.

We can balance the incentives of content creators with the incentives of the users and creators of AI models. I'm confident we can do it because we've done it every time in the past when technology has changed, and AI models will be no different.

Fair enough.

Near future, I agree it's hard to imagine available resources for this outpacing available resources for fusion.

Though fusion does have some more difficult technical engineering issues than SBS.

By that I mean, as far I know, we have a decent understanding of what materials we would need and how to utilize said material for space based solar.

While with fusion we are close to self sustainings reactions, we still lack understanding on containing the reaction itself for it to be feasible. That is, understanding the magnetic fluctuations around the plasma reaction and having material to housing it for extended periods of time.

Of course with computing simulations becoming increasingly more accurate and powerful, those technical hurdles may not be as stringent as we see them today.
Yet, they're still (for terms I search for; generally technical, journal etc) better than Kagi, Bing, and DDG.
> Yes I get it, we shape our policies based on "the really bad cases". This reminds me of a - probably largely exaggerated - comparison: one party denies help to 10 persons out of worry one might be a fraud, the other gives help to 10 persons out of worry one might need it badly.

You are ignoring the 9 people they did help that way, but they didn't stay homeless for very long and aren't counted as chronically homeless. The one person that did burn down their hotel room is chronically homeless and very difficult to help...well, they are chronically homeless after all.

Not really exaggerated at all, I'm guessing you live in a nice suburb or somewhere without a chronic homelessness problem? Or you are just trying to gaslight us into thinking our property crime/drug problems aren't as extreme as we see them to be?

That explains how to set time boundaries, that's easy, set a timer, use the clock, etc. It's a mechanical process to adhere to time limits.

I'm thinking about things like finding millions of real user passwords in the test database. I complain and push and eventually we delete all the passwords from the database which breaks everyone's test build and in the end I don't make any friends. Did I care to much? I harmed my career because I cared.

Early in the project we agreed to organize our code into modules a certain way, but that fell apart and the code was not organized. I never knew where my code should go, the existing code was not organized, it bothered me a lot. How do I stop caring about that?

Shortly before I was fired a unit test I had written was passing even though it shouldn't have. The code was something like "assert(x == 1); assert(x == 2);" and the test was passing, it was impossible. It was some custom TypeScript stack and I got on the phone with the guy who created the tech stack and he agreed something was off, but none of us had time to look into what's up. I was fired before we ever got to the bottom of it.

These are the most recent examples, but I've had similar issues at other jobs. Imperfections, big or small often bother me more than other, and, again, I don't know how to lower my standards without also stopping caring, but without caring I have a hard time working.
