This is all very good, but I don't think it is specific to Japan - I'd hazard a guess that most old world cultures have a history of eliminating food waste dating back to the days when existence was much more precarious thanks to war, pestilence and famine. Thinking of Scotland for example, there's haggis (heart, liver, lungs, and originally stomach), black pudding (blood), plus all those "recipes" for leftovers like stovies and rumbledethumps. And in Europe I've seen things on menus like pigs trotters, pigs ears and so on.

Wow, this is intense!

Think twice before sampling it if you have any sensitivity to flashing lights. Might seem obvious, but apparently needs saying!
I can imagine that, but I see it as a derivative work so it'd be fine with me. I'm not a famous or professional photographer, though.

I would be touched and honored beyond belief that anyone cares about my work enough to have it permanently inscribed on their skin to carry it with them through life and into death. And to have a talented artist doing the inscription would be beyond belief.

I'm not saying the photographer ought to feel that way, that's just my reaction as Joe Schmoe.

There's no harm to the marketability of my art. Frankly, the person getting tattooed probably cares more about it being Miles Davis than it being an exact replica of that photo. If I made a stink, they'd just change the tattoo design enough to be fair use. Make it Miles Davis doing "hear no evil" instead of "speak no evil" or something.

I just don't see this tattoo taking anything away from the photographer, so I don't see a need for Kat Von D to pay.

Moreover, it's fine for Kat Von D, who can afford a legal team and probably charges enough to have them verify that a tattoo doesn't infringe. Your average $75/hr or $100/hr artist doesn't have those options, and will be open to being bombarded with copyright claims of varying quality, including trolls.

> So is transferring a picture to a r-shirt, yet there we recognize the rights of the artist.

This is notably different because it is often a literal digital copy. I have had T shirts made, you can just send them a digital image. I didn't have to transcribe it or put in any effort.

> It’s funny that if someone was copying her original tattooes the she would obviously be arguing that it was infringement.

I don't think this is particularly relevant. Kat Von D can be both a hypocrite and not guilty of copyright infringement. I also think there's a difference between transcribing art between formats and imitating a piece of art in the same format.

Paraphrasing a book is very different than converting it to a play.
I’m surprised this didn’t engage or mention Architecture Uprising / Segregation by Design and other projects that have considerably more clout and legitimacy than random trad architecture Twitter accounts. Perhaps that would undermine the “both modernists and traditionalists are placeless” equivalence the article was intent on making, but in doing so missed most of the arguments about human-scale architecture and town design put forth by the “trad” side.
I was a lucky owner of the ArVid 1030 back in the 90s. Compared to my PC's hdd size that time (WD 500MB) arvid was able to store about 2GB of data and that was an insane amount! Good old days.. :)

> Continuous attention to one detail in a dream somehow starts to breaking it apart.

But that doesn't make for a very interesting experience. I actively attempted lucid dreaming about 25 years ago, and was succesful after a while using the various reality check techniques and dream diary. And the habit has weirdly stayed with me over the years such that I still occassionally realise I am dreaming even now. But all I can ever do is wonder around for a minute or two. Over all that time I've never managed to do anything interesting like fly or conjure things or really scrutinise the dream. Those wake me up every time. I've tried the spinning technique, but that just dissolved the dream and then woke me up.
If you can only capture 60FPS, you cannot accurate measure a signal of 40Hz, since it is below the Nyquist frequency. (I know you mentioned the slow-mo camera which probably does have the bandwidth).

FTC Launches Probe of Big Tech's AI Investments
Evil absolutely exists. Pretending it doesn’t is a device of people who have some vested interest in ignoring it, or people who are so limited by their own comfortable experience that they have never been confronted by it.

I have been reading Team of Rivals, a deep dive book about Lincoln’s presidential cabinet during the civil war. It is amazing that many of the men write about how, after having personally witnessed slavery, they then vigorously oppose it. (Seward, for example, goes on a trip to the South for vacation and basically comes back hating slavery because it is so clearly wicked).

I imagine human sacrifice, death camps, gulags, they all evoke similar responses. ‘Societal good can only be reached through mass slaughter of the undesirable’ is the subtext. That should be repulsive to any with a functional moral core. The amount of suffering enacted by the Aztecs as they killed their neighbors children… I can’t imagine.
The big LLM companies are well positioned to build a lot of what a vector database is used for into their existing APIs and offerings. Both simplifying DX and devops.

Then on the other side existing databases will want to add functionality to be used as vector databases as well.

I think there’s lots of innovation ahead and it’s too soon to know what the end outcome will be.
The update to Kenneth Eugene Smith's entry should be standalone as a separate botched operation:

> The gas appeared to start flowing at approximately 7:58 p.m. Smith visibly shook and writhed against the gurney for around two minutes. His arms thrashed against the restraints.

> He breathed heavily, slightly gasping, for approximately seven more minutes. At one point, his wife cried out.

I'm guessing it's not a coincidence that the country with the biggest ideological gender gap (South Korea) also has the lowest fertility rate. I'll also guess that the low fertility rate is not the cause of the high ideology gap.

Not yet. There is excitement for vector databases in some specialized areas but it hasn't really filtered out to the wider rank-and-file software engineering circles. You know it will be 'peak vector database' when you'll see blog posts on migrating your relational data to a vector database (with a follow-up 2 years later about moving back to PostgreSQL due to the shitshow that ensued).

The prosecution would happily provide the itemized transactions, because the missing transactions are exactly what they are prosecuting. They know there were N pieces of mail that day, but payment was recorded only for N − 2 or whatever.

The lies and coverup from the Postal service and Fujitsu were to there to hide the flaws in the system from the courts and the defendants. Even the prosecutors have said that they were completely in the dark. It’s only now that the independent reports are out that everyone knows the details.

Unless you know about the bugs in the system, the itemized transaction list makes it look exactly like the cashiers were pocketing cash and not actually ringing up the sales. It’s a classic scam that any competent retail manager or owner knows to guard against. The only difference is that these cashiers nominally own the stores they run. If they pocketed the cash from the sale of a candy bar then there would be no crime; the cash was theirs to begin with. But since they are also working for a third party (the post office), the possibility of theft is a real one.
I don't care what they think one way or the other. I'm just relaying my experience. Do with it what you will.

Latex has a lot of caked in design mistakes which are never going away.

Unfortunately typst seems to have replicated the primary one - inventing a new turing complete programming language rather than piggybacking off an existing one.

It's possible to conceptualize a much better latex but it would take years to build properly and build the ecosystem around it to do all the odd things people need when doing markup requiring 1000-2000 community packages.
I think the main problem with OOP is that the classic animal/cat/dog type class hierarchy examples that are used in teaching are in fact hardly ever used in the real world - giving a very misleading view of how it's actually used in practice.

Most people using OOP languages prefer composition over hierarchies and I almost never see those complex class structures modelled on data ( for some of the reasons you give ).

In terms of evolvability - encapsulation - a key feature of OOP - is a key tool in enabling that.
My dad played AD&D as a kid like you, and introduced it to us when we were young (like your kids). We got our cousins into it and we spent every summer adventuring. When 5e came out we tried it a couple times and really didn’t like it for the reasons you mentioned.

Coming back to D&D as an adult (coworkers play during lunch once a week) has been strange. The new style of play feels rigid. I can understand the standardization to try and create a uniform experience but it feels like a little of that AD&D magic is lost. Also I’m an adult now haha
Of course, you’re right about the Nyquist frequency (how could I forget the Nyquist-Shannon Sampling Theorem!). But I looked it up and the iPhone 15 slow motion mode can do up to 240 fps which is enough to easily measure it super accurately with a short sample.
That title is a bit much. Did Dijkstra do so more than Wirth? Hoare? Backus? Knuth? von Neumann? Maybe, maybe, maybe, no, and definitely no.

Dijkstra had some real achievements. He was one of the giants, no doubt. But he wasn't the giant. He was highly opinionated. He had his way of working, and anybody who did it any other way was wrong (and probably either stupid or lazy). That's not the optimal route to improving a field, especially when you aren't 100% right.
OTOH, there might be a niche for a GPU that has a lower bandwidth access to a larger pool of memory, because inference might consume a lot of data and not that much number crunching.

In terms of the actual performance? Sure. In terms of the overhead, the mental model shift, the library changes, the version churn and problems with scala/spark libraries, the black box debugging, no, still really inefficient.

Most of the companies I have worked with that actively have spark deployed are using it on queries with less than 1TB of data at a time and boy howdy does it make no sense.

There's an entire economic school of thought that believes that inflation is essentially entirely a monetary phenomenon. Dollars are tokens, and governments dispense those tokens whenever they need to finance themselves, every empire eventually succumbs to the temptation to pump out tokens instead of being productive and disciplined in their expenditures and delaying consumption (in other words, saving). This precedes every downfall.

It seems useless to me to call inflation a matter of the changing price of a good that will change due to demand or supply. Rather, intuitively what really matters is if someone is switching up the measuring stick that forms the basis of the entire price signaling system of the economy.

You technically can measure over the nyquist frequency, for example here if you measure 80Hz with your 60Hz camera, you can be sure that either you really did the math wrong with the intended 40Hz, or it is actually the nyquist shadow frequency of your 40Hz oscillation!

Human sacrifice has a context. War is often over resources. To win over a competitor has value in gaining the competitors' resources. But then, they have to quit needing those resources.

It was a brutal and ugly practice. But their environment was unforgiving. Brutal. To demonize the survivor, the winner in the conflicts, is a natural impulse. But to pretend it was all futile and pointless is to miss the entire context.

Not the same person, but I've recently switched from Windows 10 to Debian stable with KDE, so I can share my experience.

It doesn't really sucks. Instead, I'm happy I have no longer to put up with the growing number of Windows annoyances. The balance is definitely positive.

That said, there are a number of issues that I've found. Some of them are solvable via configuration, some of them are not. I'll omit a couple of bugs I submitted to KDE that they say are corrected in the new version. Unfortunately, it seems I'll have to wait a long time until that version is published and then reaches Debian stable.

- KDE look and feel customization is badly scattered in multiple menus. Some options are not accessible and need to be changed in scripts written in a KDE-specific language. There are a couple of very bad UX in the last category.

- Firefox, Thunderbird and other applications use completely different file dialogs with different conventions that I haven't found how to configure. Firefox is more difficult to configure than it seems. I started caring because it had tiny scrool bars. For some appearance configurations I had to look at Firefox source code.

- My Behringer external sound interface doesn't work with the default software. It works with Jack, but I've been unable to configure JackD to start automatically, so I need to start it manually every time I reboot. Mitigated because I always hibernate.

- Drag & drop works in a very weird fashion. When I drop something, a popup menu appears asking me if I want to copy, move or link the dragged item. There's no way to configure KDE to just move. I need to press shift before I start dragging and that conflicts with multiple selection... no way to move multiple files without the shitty menu.

What I found sad was the response to users' request in forums. Some users volunteered solutions and they were told that they won't be included because the fixes needed to be included in some config dialog, documented, translated to all languages... and noone will have time to do all that.

One thing that I had not thought about was the increasing complexity of code bases. I looked what I needed to compile a browser, not sure if it was Firefox or Chromium, 500 GB required. Firefox also needs Rust now.

I'm worried that the OSS projects have no enough volunteers and the barrier-to-entry is high enough to discourage more people helping.
> "It still is."

It still is but you are missing the point of the thread. HTML still is hypertext, some links, some images, some tables. No doubt about that. But HTML is also so much more than that. The spec is a beast. Anyone who wants to implement an HTML based reader has a mammoth task in front of them. It's like "go implement a new browser" like someone said in this thread above.

> "Styling is not handled by HTML. It's a separate concern assigned to CSS."

Missing the point again. We know styling is not handled by HTML. The point of the thread was to tell how big of a task it is to create your own HTML based reader. If you want to create your reader like it or not you have to implement support for CSS too and that too is a mammoth spec.

So our only options are: A. Go implement a new browser. B. Use something like Webkit. C. Implement a small subset of the HTML and CSS specs.
