Your first sentence can be used for anything:

Etale cohomology was a low-hanging fruit because it depended on a bunch of mathematics and technology that Grothendieck benefitted from: algebra, the printing press, and modern transportation. Sure, Euler had horse drawn carriages but that is nothing compared to the speed of modern transportation that Grothendieck had available to him.

The 2023 Hugo Nomination Statistics Have Finally Been Released – And We Have Questions

This post was brought to my attention via Mastodon via HN user cstross, who posted an entire thread about this here, the initial post of which I quote:

That's fair. It could be that cycling on college campus pathways was not the most efficient. In my case, there were no "roads" to get between campus buildings -- only winding sidewalks and grass.

Unicycles don't react to changes very well -- they're highly momentum-based, and bumps affect them much more than bicycles. Passing on the grass is possible, but difficult (especially with a 24" wheel like I used), and was often the source of wipeouts when I would attempt to go around a group of pedestrians that was taking up the entire path. Inevitably, this was a gaggle of cute girls, who would giggle as I faceplanted into the grass. Not my finest moment. But if nothing else, this should certainly cement the idea that I certainly didn't unicycle because it was "cool". :)

But it wasn't just pedestrians and unicycles on campus sidewalks -- bikes were extremely common, and pedestrians were used to getting out of the way of cyclists. It's generally that they just couldn't hear me coming.

What about white text on white background to stuff keywords on the bottom of a page.....and it actually worked
1) You'll get pretty big power spikes (and some power drops) at WT3 (sacred) and WT4 (ancestral) gear jumps. One at 50(?) when you unlock paragon board and get to spend a bunch of points. Then your biggest power spike when you get item power 925 weapons (you could do this really fast from world bosses in season 2 but it's a bit slower in season 3).

Then, yes, gradual power increases from other gear/glyphs/paragon and potential big power spikes from uber uniques (but rough to farm).

2) Once you beat the main story/campaign you never do the campaign or side quests again, even during seasons with new characters. Same for renown.

Non-expert players hit WT4 in a day or two at season start... as long as they're playing one of the set of viable builds per class. And once you're in WT4 you can effectively pick how hard you want the content to be.

In comparison, the expert players hit level 100 in a day or two.

If you play D2 "as the game is presented" you'll have a bad time too, eventually. It's very easy to make non-viable builds in most dungeon crawl ARPG.

If you really want to have fun, unless you specifically have fun developing good builds, then my biggest suggestion is to play a meta build.

Season 2 ball lightning sorc was super fun. It had the full "build struggles" -> "build is now online" -> "build is *zooming*" experience. Yes, it was overpowered (at least until AoZ) and broke the servers during world bosses.

The game definitely has problems but each season has been an improvement as well, even if an individual season mechanic isn't the greatest.

In comparison, I think a game like Path of Exile is a much more interesting dungeon crawl ARPG but I think Path of Exile is also exhausting to play unless one makes it their main long-term game.

If you're looking for more bandcamp alternatives, someone made a media player (https://github.com/torcado194/scritch-player) that you can add to an Itch page (example: https://keestak.itch.io/heck-deck-ost).

Cool part about Itch is that it's already got an established community around it, and that's very unlikely to change.

Software Development at companies is often like living on an alien planet. It takes information years to propagate to the company[1]. There's a multi-year delay between what you're doing and what you should be doing. Some, I'd imagine, try their best to predict what will happen to compensate for this delay, others may just follow along with the latest and greatest[2] even if there's a multi-year delay.

[1] Even if it reaches faster than speed of light, it may not be accepted or acted upon immediately. The analogy kinda falters here, but hopefully you get the point.

[2] perhaps "greatest" should be replaced with the word "popular" or "trendy"

Onenote as it was on the Mac back in 2015-6, with its rich text canvas and table support, with...

1. Actual WYSIWYG but limiting some parameters so pages don't inherit ghost styles from copying&pasting, like indentation or margin rules you can't change later.

2. Not a Markdown-first approach like Obsidian/OutlineWiki, even if it comes with live preview, since I can't style certain elements like adding color to table cells.

3. A well thought out layout with a clear design vision.
Instead of the overly customizable, plugin-centric approach of Obsidian, where I always end up wasting time trying to customize it to my taste, yet never getting it quite right, and where an update can break my changes.

4. It still allows code/markdown/txt boxes or inserted objects, like a linked spreadsheet, Python notebooks, formatted CSVs, etc.

5. Offline-first, each notebook in a file/folder structure of my own choosing.

6. Good mobile app.
Yes! this is much closer to what my mind pictured. I'm not a Bond fan, but of course he'd just so happen to have this. Next, someone will show a Batman episode where he has this on his belt clip.

So, I think this doesn't fly. Lessig is trying to extrapolate rules for a broadcast medium (magazines, newspapers, tv) onto a decentralized peer-to-peer medium, and it just doesn't work. If you have my IP and I have yours, we can share information without requiring an intermediate data broker. What Lessig is advocating for would make all ISPs, DNSes and backbone providers, the defacto gatekeepers of an essentially decentralized system. And even then, it won't stop me from sending you a packet over the local network, or establishing my own local internet.

Astrophysical jets produce helically and circularly-polarized emissions, too FWIU.

Presumably helical jets reach earth coherently over such distances because of the stability of helical signals.

1. Could a space agency harvest energy from a (helically and/or circularly-polarised) natural jet, for deep space and/or local system exploration? Can a spacecraft pull against a jet for relativistic motion?

2. Is helical the best way to beam power wirelessly; without heating columns of atmospheric water in the collapsing jet stream?

3. Is there a (hydrodynamic) theory of superfluid quantum gravity that better describes the apparent vorticity and curl of such signals and their effects?
Yeah I wasn't very clear in my comment that I don't mean to judge the unique software stack for each aircraft as a result of the broken culture, or even dysfunctional (though as an outsider I did find it surprising). My point was more so that the technical challenge of maintaining accountability through heuristic checks is pretty infeasible, so the impacts of a broken culture of accountability are much harder to contain.

Some businesses can get away with operating with a culture lacking personal ownership and accountability for much longer when it's harder to hide cut corners, because it's easier to encode business rules to enforce accountability.

So to me, what makes Boeing's case so news worthy is of course the stakes being so high, and also the fact that the engineering culture that was sacrificed wasn't just a nice to have, it was essential, and no amount of MBA business rules can make up for it.
Google is so annoying for doing this. They could have curated a better web, but they've consistently done what puts their profits first. Similar things have happened in other companies, and it always leads to their downfall (Kodak, GM, Polaroid, Blockbuster, etc).
On Being Indispensable at Work
The web has become easier and easier to publish on for decades now. The low barrier to entry plug unscrupulous people makes the web worse, not a site designed to help try to find things. You have millions of people actively working to artificially increase their rankings for money. That's not Google's fault. That's like blaming Verizon for spam phone calls, or Comcast for spam email. I don't like any of those companies but I'm not going to blame them for things that aren't their fault.

Tables made much more intuitive sense than something like flexbox now but that came at the expense of being a nightmare to maintain.

Trying to hack a table layout together often led to frequent edits and initial attempts to maintain clean layout comments ended. You're left with never ending <tr><td><tr><td><tr><td> that you hopefully at least indented to maintain sanity. But god help you if your stumbled into another person's table layout code...

Spending time just entering "here", saving the file, and seeing where the "here" shows up. By the time 5pm rolled around "here" often turned into something like "ass" or "fuck", or if it's really bad "fuck you". IYKYK
> cheap and easy to actually keep bathroom surfaces sterile

I think that flatteringly overstates modern human abilities: Almost every surface on Earth either has life on it or is about to be get recolonized in short order. (Often after we did some temporarily-effective thing involving brute force radiation or unusual heat or volatile chemicals.)

At best we'll end up with almost-sterile bathrooms that we're OK with because life that is both process-resistant and dangerous hasn't popped up yet.

> We'll adapt to our increasingly sterile bubbles and become increasingly vulnerable to Earth's microbiome.

There are two flavors to this that I think really need to be distinguished, because they lead to very different experiments and recommendations:

1. "Hygeine Hypothesis" - "Our immune systems need to be toughed up by winning battles against actual pathogens."

2. "Old Friends" - "Our immune systems need additional calibration by harmlessly interacting with the suite of benign things we co-evolved with."

The former suggests that a certain level of (literal) inner turmoil and danger is required, whereas the latter suggests that it's a much more general issue of micro-ecological diversity and no pathogens are needed.

It seems to me that the difference is that public land and national parks are more or less devoid of people while countryside is a combination of nature and people. There's lots of nature to explore but it's full of ancient cemeteries, small communities, farms, hills with various legends attached to them, etc.

To me there has to be the people to give the nature significance. Otherwise it's not so much exploration as it is just a massive camping trip.
The true power of lid closure is that it makes you feel gross and REALLY want to wash your hands, and by washing your hands, you get rid of 99% of the risks.
I'm in complete agreement with the need to protect free speech and the right of those even with "ugly positions" to share their point of view.

However, what happens when those "ugly positions" are algorithmically amplified and spread far and wide through social media to people who are not prepared to question them critically, and instead appeal to their basest desires and inner fears? Is that still free speech or is it now brain power-washing... or even a brain water-cannon?
How exactly are these features present in your workflow? I honestly struggle to think of when I'd ever use this.

Fwiw, I do a lot of infrastructure-as-code, full stack, and systems programming.

I usually have a split screen (editor | terminal) or two terminals on the side, and exec into a container, or use devenv.sh.

If I _really_ need to modify files in the container as I dev and a "make" doesn't cut it, I usually just run podman with a -v mount. Similarly for remote machines w/ sshfs, though I try not to.
Modular is only possible when you can have some space that is empty. In a laptop if there is extra space you redesign everything to fill that space. Thus a modular laptop would be a bad thing: you could get either a smaller laptop, or something else you want in a laptop (like a bigger battery) if you would go non modular.
Maybe, but it's a rental, so only some much to be done about that. So much was defined by me as buying a $30 roll of insulating whatever it is that then got stapled to the interior wall of the closet. Took the thermal temp down 15° on the bedroom side of the wall.

I did. One of the primary causes of inflation is running a deficit for decades which is financed by the money printer.

As a consequence, the demand for Turkish debt is decreasing because it is getting riskier and riskier. And with this the value of the lira is going down because there is lower and lower genuine demand for the currency. And when the value of the currency goes towards 0, the prices are going towards: infinity.

Why do you think the government is trying to stop dollarization? Nobody wants lira.

Japan is an outlier and I wouldn't cite it as a general example because it is the only example. But there are hundreds of examples of inflation caused by expanding money supply.
Be interesting to find out how the respective ADCs are programmed at the register level. Anecdotally we've also found that the ESP32 A/D aren't usable for precision measurements.

It would also be useful to have a function generator hooked up and simultaneously digitizing the signal, that's usually how I do my comparisons but does require some more expensive tooling.
Nabokov spoke with respect of it in the introduction to his translation of the epic of Prince Igor. (Or so I recall--it has been a while since I read it.) He knew perfectly well that it was a forgery, but the translations into Continental languages may have been better than the English. Clearly they answered a felt need.
If we take the behavior of matter as the observable signs of how it feels — this is true if sensation motivates action — then many rich states of sensation have been observed in subatomic particles.

The computational process of an organism is evolved to operate the organism, toward survival of the species. I don’t think these sensations would necessarily be more complex than those of subatomic particles, but they would need to be directed by the system to represent the state of the system and the observed environment, to link to actions the system could take, and to bias actions toward survival of the system.

I had a not-so-fun troubleshooting session this week trying to figure out my ADC wasn't working on an STM32H7 board, but works fine on G4. It turns out there's a `boost` bit in on the registers that has to be set on H7, if the ADC clock speed is >20Mhz... which is is at most common settings. Other than that, the ADC config is the same as other STM32s. That was frustrating! RTFM and don't make assumptions. Another trap is that on H7, the ADC's default clock isn't enabled; requires turning on the second PLL, or re-configuring the first one.

Technically I think it depends on whether someone can mess with your connection enough to convince the browser to fall back to HTTP. And whether you could be tricked into entering credentials on the wrong page.

Big fan of Simon Willison's `llm`[1] client. We did something similar recently with our multi-modal inference server that can be called directly from the `llm` CLI (c.f. "Serving LLMs on a budget" [2]). There's also `ospeak` [3] which we'll probably try to integrate to talk to your LLM from console. Great to see tools that radically simplify the developer-experience for local LLMs/foundation models.

If you use the API, they do not train on it.

(However, that doesn't mean they don't retain it for a while).

As others have said, RAG is probably the way to go - although I don't know how well RAG performs on local LLMs.
> Anyway, forgetting that Google is bad at long tails, I search for what is the koh lanta of croatia?

Is it just me, or is that a very hard query? Koh Lanta is pretty obscure. Croatia while not as obscure, won't have the tourist pages like say Italy, Greece, China, etc.

The chances of an actual web page having both of those words that is not spam seems pretty low to me.

You would have to do some type of word vector for "Koh Lanta" and then try to find a location in Croatia that matches the word vector.

LLMs might actually be better at this. Bing chat gives me the following in response to

"what is the koh lanta of croatia?":

"I assume you are asking for a place in Croatia that is similar to Koh Lanta, Thailand. Koh Lanta is an island in the Andaman Sea south of Krabi, Thailand, known for its low-key vibe, beautiful beaches, and amazing food 1. Unfortunately, I could not find any direct comparison between Koh Lanta and any place in Croatia. However, Croatia has many beautiful islands with stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters. Some of the most popular islands in Croatia are Hvar, Brac, Korcula, and Vis 2. Each of these islands has its own unique charm and atmosphere. If you could provide more information about what you are looking for, I could help you find a place in Croatia that suits your preferences. "

I don't think either Erlang or Go are silver bullets. You can't solve _all_ problems efficiently with either.

We've absolutely seen that people not exposed to certain types of bacteria don't develop resistances to it. There's a reason tourists have to drink bottled or sterilized water, after all.

That said, your compromise seems right, but it missed the point of the parent post. Living in a hyper-sterilized world is going to have consequences.
Unless your phone has fastboot already unlocked, yes it will result in you losing all the stuff at least once (there's an unavoidable wipe on bootloader unlock/relock). In that case, if your changes are restricted to surfaceflinger rather than kernel code, you can try doing an emulator-based test (basically, just do 'm' and 'emulator' commands your from AOSP build environment).

Also, when building kernels for your specific target (4a), pure AOSP is actually least friendly option regarding build scripts/instructions; consider either building the kernel as a part of either LineageOS build (which will pull MSM 4.14 kernel) or CalyxOS/Graphene (which has its own kernel build scripts/sandbox).
Yeah, folks gotta understand the hygiene hypothesis kinda relies on assumptions about baseline environments, it falls flat on its face if you consider environments with industrialized biological contaminants such as hospitals, factory farms, or open sewage.
