> For instance, ancient Jews (not westerners) pioneered the idea of a "a truly all-inclusive" god, while also creating a literary tradition (the old testament) full of contradictions and "either-or" forms of logic.

Ehhhh, that's not quite how it happened. In the Bronze Age everyone was doing pantheons. This was a good idea because tribes who started gaining power in this period were exploring empire-building and pantheons allow for a high degree of syncretism - you absorb the conquered gods into your own structure, most of the peasants don't even notice a change.

The ancient Israelites (Jews and Samaritans) acknowledged those pantheons, but chose to only worship the god who was viewed as being at the top of the Canaanite pantheon - El (Israel literally meaning "struggles with El"). Through the various captivities and exiles and the Bronze Age collapse, the lower gods on the pantheon faded to history and it became more of the modern idea of an all-encompassing god.

There is definitely also some Christianizing of European Jews that happened for obvious reasons, so it's hard to separate out how much of modern Jewish thought is a reflection of this. Especially with the Ashkenazim who had a lot of "Great Awakening" style religious activity around the same time it was happening in colonial and post-Revolutionary America.
It's amusing that a language called "Ur" is built on antecedent languages.

btw, i use frontend frameworks without bundlers/build steps, but load then statically straight into the browser. that may seem a bit wasteful, but it dramatically simplifies the maintenance needs for a site, guaranteeing that the site will keep running and be maintainable for the forseeable future.
It's a mixed thing. Good for reducing piracy and increasing revenue, probably. It does mean that people who want to be able to install whatever they want on their devices, or write software for themselves to use on their own devices, will have to start buying ones explicitly marketed with those features, because you won't be able to just jailbreak it anymore.
I just launched my first product
hello everyone,

2 years ago I started my journey as a solo indie hacker, but I never succeed in delivering a product, I have a computer with +20 half finished apps.

I decided to start small this time, instead of making a huge app, maybe I start with something very simple just to see how things are working and get a little of motivation.

So I created ReactEmojis, a ReactJs package to integrate animated SVG emojis into your landing page or react app.

I would appreciate any feedback,

thanks

You shouldn’t envy people who are slacking. If it’s causing you trouble then it sounds like a management issue. Or maybe you just want to slack off, in which case you should.
We are too early. It took earth 4.5 billion years to develop electronics. That's only 2x more than age of the universe.
I'm not saying that what you're doing is right or wrong. Apart from minor details, I think you are right.

I'm just pointing out the obvious: we are all telling others how to behave to a certain extent.

A lot of criticism is leveled at Alan Watts, by people who point out how he conveyed many oversimplifications of religious teachings, or ideas that seem to be misunderstandings of teachings from an academic point of view.

I think what those people are either missing or ignoring is that his main motivation was to be a spiritual entertainer, as he described it, and I believe he's best interpreted and understood that way as well.

If people want to learn a rigorous deep understanding of certain philosophies and spiritual beliefs, there are innumerable other ways to dive into this, and better people to listen to. To me, his conveyance of ideas is better suited to impart interesting and different ways of looking at the world in a general manner and to pique one's imagination, not to learn spiritual concepts in a rigorous way.

I always felt he succeeded in that way, simply by attracting more people towards an interest in a spirituality and philosophy, and giving a starting point from which they can pursue serious ideas if their interest is sustained.

The probe doesn't require its parent civilization to continue existing to keep working. It self-replicates. You don't have to "pick" where self-replicating probes go. Each can self-replicate, and you can get nigh-infinite probes for "free." A von Neuman probe finds its own resources.

Mando and Andor finally got it. Or, more accurately, they knew what the rest of us did, that the purpose of the medium - any medium - is to tell a story. The finbros and Disney people, not being normal humans, are (hopefully, were) trying to deliver a Star Wars experience. Yeah, whatever the hell that means (anytime my job description has the word "Experience" in it, that's almost always a red flag).

Did MCU not teach you anything, Disney? "Hey, I got a great idea for a Western . ." bam! Logan. "Do you know, what if we had like a cold war paranoia spy movie and . ." bam! Winter Solider. "Dang, so if you have a heist movie, but the twist is we have a shrink ray and . . "bam! Ant-Man. Tie all of 'em up with a McGuffin, a Big Bad, and, ding, instant cinematic universe. See what we did there? We made stories first. It's also, incidentally, what the great Star Wars video games did as well. Even the not-so-great; the elite storm trooper who loses her faith is frickin' amazing (damn, Finn got robbed, screenplay-wise . . also, again, his character does not need to exist . . goddammit, stop wasting my time, Finbro Disney People!).

Probably "Don't Waste Anyone's Time" is a good one sentence screenwriting lesson.

Anyhoosit. Enough grousing from this old fart.
One security company I worked at had it as required reading for new hires - you were given a copy as part of onboarding.

I honestly think that was an excellent idea - there’s a good amount of valuable lessons for an analyst to glean from reading it.

I can think of very few other books in the IT security field that are as well written and as compelling besides maybe Silence on the Wire, The Tangled Web, or Innocent Code.
Remote employees are more likely to be laid off than in-office peers
Unfortunately physics can't be fooled. Your limbs will still move according to the laws of inertia, and when that motion doesn't match your sense of balance your brain will likely be just as confused. But more importantly, you will immediately fall over if your sense of balance doesn't match reality exactly. Then you'd have to be supported by a harness. Obviously constantly being prevented from falling over by leaning on a harness is not going to feel like the natural movement that people want these systems to achieve.
You forgot to use the sarcasm font.
I am disappointed with how y'all hate this idea so much. I suppose most people aren't on top of the bleeding edge, but the developments here are mind bending.

You’re trying to scare people into thinking another real estate crisis on the scale of 2008/2009 is looming. Stop. The commercial real estate market is a fraction of the residential real estate market.

No, it's another fish like species and they came from the inside of the moon. My explanation is actually pretty good if you condition on the assumption that they are real - if you do that, ET is very unlikely comparatively. I can kind of explain everything you see in various ways, some hard to vary, some not.
When it comes to VR, for theme park use it’s hard to see how this would be more cost effective than a large open space, maybe with many floors stacked to maximize throughput. For home use this seems like it will never be cheap enough to be worth it. It’s very cool tech, though.
It's always been there, but for traditional browsers, it was tedious: Ctrl/Cmd + click. Many non-power users found it tricky or didn't know about it, so we all more or less settled on checkboxes as a UX standard.
just came across this: https://www.realtor.com/research/december-2023-rent/

> In December 2023, the U.S. median rent continued to see a year-over-year decline for the eighth month in a row, down -0.4% for 0-2 bedroom properties across the top 50 metros, a pace slightly slower than the -0.6% seen in November. The median asking rent was $1,713, down by $4 from last month and $63 (-3.5%) less than the peak seen in July 2022. However, it was still $309 (22.0%) higher than the same time in 2019 (pre-pandemic).
I got one better, worked at a law firm, managers and partners were given admin access to everything. Default password after reset is "passme" because password was too long to remember. They are supposed to reset their password after login into the server. Hackers got a few of their accounts and started messing with things and stealing data. Even some test accounts had admin status. I'm glad I don't work there anymore, I was a programmer analyst and only had admin access to my PC to make Visual BASIC 6.0 work.
Why do people assume we'll get their technology? If there is an alien race capable of visiting us, it is them who will set the terms. I guess it's always human nature to overestimate ourselves; the aliens calling the shots creates a strong mental dissonance.
> ballpark of 32x safer

That number (edit: rail deaths) feels too high. Other than major train collisions/derailments, is it even possible to die because of trains ?

> In 2022, more than two-thirds (69 %) of these fatalities in the EU were caused by 'accidents to persons by rolling stock in motion', typically involving persons who are unauthorised on the railway tracks and are hit by a running train. Together with level-crossing accidents, which caused 29 % of fatalities, these accidents were responsible for almost 98 % of all deaths occurring in railway accidents in the EU. [1]

So rail accidents where a train was at fault, constituted only 2% of deaths assigned to railways. Unlike train accidents, a car is always to blame (some car) in a car accident. Even if I double the risk of railways to 4% of their total number, railways are still 640x safer than cars.

Are you sure go wasn't just the hostname?

This was very common in Windows shops back in the NT and even post-NT4 days to leverage the hostname as the URL (http://exchange, http://sharepoint, and so on).
I mean, you got a guy going on Geraldo and such fear mongering and accusing the government of doing nothing while the most senior level of the US government as public as possible describes modern sounding risk management ideals... And people forget that security through obscurity was a deeply prized thing, and all of this was before firewalls.

If you were to tell Mr. Stoll and his audience that that in the future one of the most popular information places would be called Hacker News they would get the opinion very quickly that the good guys apparently lost in the future. I guess I can't really describe it, but this mindset would've been very bad had it survived, but thankfully it hasn't, and couldn't.

This would've been impossible probably, but ideally Mr. Stoll should've worked to explain in detail the vulnerabilities and mitigations and tried to explain those things as making crime inevitable. That's what we do today, but for a long time people thought that was just giving bad people ammunition instead of how we see it today as part of a whole arsenal of perspectives and strategies.

In the late 90s during several Q&As Mr. Stoll came around to agree with many of our modern concepts of security, once he understood more of the game mechanics and some other understandable confusion stuff... He wasn't as online perhaps as many people are today, and to my understanding never formally worked in security nor wanted to.
Totally agree that these are issues worth thinking about and mitigating.

One thing I’ve started doing at work is documenting workflows in various ways: not just docs but talks and screencasts where a new engineer could see my workflow. (I also give new engineers advice to keep a digital notebook! I still learn tons by doing this.)

For the isolation bit I just wonder what we will see replacing that. It’s possible we never see anything and everyone just deals with it but I hope shared office spaces or something similar picks up. I get plenty of socialization elsewhere but little breaks in the workday to not focus on productivity and just chitchat were nice and maybe important some days.
Taylor Swift AI-Deepfakes 'Alarming' – Microsoft CEO Says 'We Have to Act'
Setting aside the credibility of the source, his claims align with the public facts. In this age of ubiquitous, high-res sensing tech, there has yet to be any credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence on Earth. And his statement that all of the accounts of government cover-up of extraterrestrials being secondhand also aligns with everything I've read. David Grusch's testimony is a great example of this.

The bottom line is, we have too many Mulders and not enough Scullys.

Considering how Disney extended copyright law for so long, I can't blame the person you're replying to for suggesting it.
A great book for those interested in this subject is Full-Rip 9.0: The Next Big Earthquake in the Pacific Northwest by Sandi Doughton.
No. Planescape torment is significantly better than a YA novel. This isn't Harry Potter.

Torment can win a hugo if it was a book. It's that good. Better than a lot of hugo winners too.

I get where you're coming from though. Planescape has elements of a YA novel, it's designed to be a page turner and the like. The setting is also very unique and fantastical and that gives it a bit of a YA novel flavor because people conflate this for the reason for why it's good in their "rave reviews". Like "wow! such an imaginative setting for an adventure!" and that kind of thing.

But make no mistake the game is haunting. When you finish it you're different. It's def not just some typical adventure story in some wildly fantastical setting. Read this review, (the first part before she gets in to deep into the fantasy elements and side characters) she couldn't have put it better:

https://tap-repeatedly.com/2003/02/planescape-torment-review...

"If computer games developers ever hope to stake their claim in the mature artistic mainstream alongside painting, music and literature, it won’t happen by coming up with ever more capable engines, sweeter eye candy or addictive gameplay, though it won’t happen without them either. It will happen by drafting all of the above into the service of compelling characters such as these, characters who make you care about them, characters who send you pawing for the reload command because you simply cannot possibly conceive of moving another inch without them. Planescape Torment accomplishes all this and more, capturing the player’s heart and intellect, taking him on a long, fraught journey through one of the most unique settings I’ve experienced in any medium and wrapping it up in a stunning, jaw-dropping finale."

"Don’t approach this CRPG too lightly. It’s the gaming equivalent of War and Peace, slow to start, frustratingly obscure at times, yet once that great narrative engine finally revs up, it moves the player along with breathtaking authority. I’ve only played it once so far. Usually I play a game twice before sitting down to review it, but I’m not ready to reenter the world of Planescape Torment just yet. There’s something about this game. It’s disturbing, haunting and heavy. I’ve never seen anything quite like it."

Like her I was never able to play it twice. I was left in something of a state of awe when I finished the game, but not really... I can't describe it.. It's that same feeling when you finish a really good book.

It's unfortunate that it's wrapped up in the skin of a YA novel. But in actuality the skin only adds to it and makes it better, but at it's core it stands above that. Way above that.
It is impossible that another hominid species will have their own tech. They sure have no factories. So it would be a non-issue to announce if they are at stone age of development, unless these hominids are obligatory Homo Sapiens social parasites.
IMHO if you are already doing some process of "push certificates out to devices," you'll likely be much happier with getting a wildcard cert using DNS-01 and change that update process from "all devices all the time according to their schedule" over to "all devices but once every 80 days"

I do appreciate the threat model of one device getting owned leaks all your certs but security is always a trade-off between security and convenience. It also lowers the load upon the LE servers, for what that's worth
There is e.g. [1], which puts the EU-27 at about 4 times safer than the US.

As for European light trainsets not surviving collisions with freight trains: trains generally don't fare well in high speed collisions. And at low speed collisions European commuter trains (something like [2]) would be doing fine, meanwhile light rail (like [3]) isn't designed to collide with anything heavier than a truck. I don't think anybody in Europe runs freight trains on shared tracks with light rail.

I narrowed it down to something around my next door neighbor's house. The issue was there was something broadcasting a signal that covered the same range that my car key fob did, so I couldn't lock/unlock my car unless I was right up on it.

But the signal was intermittent, and I talked to all the neighbors in all three units, and none had anything that sounded like it could be the culprit. It eventually just stopped happening, so I never tracked it down.
This is a polemic, close to flamebait, and I don’t think will lead to much useful discussion here. It has few facts and many ad hominems. There are better articles about this.
Yeah, as far we we know, if there were any, it would be a one-way trip, unless they have tardigrade biology.

So quite unlikely, though possible if they take a multi generational approach.
Hue light bulbs still continue to work just fine on zigbee with Home Assistant, with or without their hub. The Home Assistant community does a great job of shaming companies that become hostile, so I personally still feel fine with buying their bulbs, since they actually are better.

Have auto updates turned off just in case though.
> Any detection scheme based on extra information from the client could be defeated by running the chess engine on a separate computer

Response time and strength consistency could be detected regardless of having another computer.

If a person is always playing fast moves, or playing very consistently or very inconsistently good moves, they could be detected.
It's techie deism for the modern day.

Who is "he"?
I can understand that. I prefer keeping my models clean without environment-specific implementation details, which is why I've settled on the FactoryBot approach for testing, seeding, etc.
People commuting by train, bus, taxi, ridesharing...

Having phones disable themselves while moving fast is absolutely ridiculous, imaging if you're on a 4 hour bus ride and can't communicate with people you need to meet at your destination.

Not anyone can or is willing to carry a laptop or tablet with them everywhere, especially if you're taking a bus or are a passenger in a car
I am excited for self-driving cars.

Public transport is great but it won't convince reckless drivers to stop driving.

Self-driving cars will finally open up a realistic political path to eliminate traffic deaths.
And ironically, if all cars were self-driving, I would choose to bike much more often than today. Because I can trust that the computer will follow the rules and I will be able to return home to my kids.

In the meantime, we should make gps-based speed governors and automatic breaking systems mandatory.
> Unless they release actual regulation I don't believe their opinion on how to interpret existing regulation really matters, or am I missing something?

To us their opinion only matters insofar that they are experts on the matter, but I don't think you are really missing anything. Courts are free to decide otherwise.

I believe the US copyright office's opinions are based on precedent set in court and on their own expert understanding of the relevant laws, so you should not read that as them setting policy, but rather as them explaining and summarizing.

However note that the copyright office runs a small claims tribunal for disputes under $30k. If one chooses to make use of that, their opinion do start to matter a bit more.
Have you used mixtral?
I really like that approach: provide an opt-in for people who need or want the extra features that require login (for example, cloud sync or saving history in cloud or whatever).
Well, they are different tools for different situations.

I found, for what I do, having a vector network analyzer was more useful that having a spectrum analyzer. Specifically, measuring the SWR of antennas and measuring the resonance frequency of filters.
