I'm not sure how you interpret "It is impossible to make laws perfect and unambiguous for all humans everywhere" as "We should just give up on refining laws because we can't get to perfection". We refine enough to have a working system, which is nowhere close to having no disagreement.
Funny you mention that. I do that too, except in my case it's Spacemacs in vim mode. I do go back to them from time to time, but that's mainly because it's an easy ripgrep search of the whole notes directory tree.

IIR one of a NeurIPS papers (or similar) was a Walmart Labs paper on "Purpose driven AI Guide for Employees" or similar. Multiple mentions of psychological health in the same paper that describes an AI assistant that is hypothetically required for every employee of a certain stripe, that does give instructions and answer questions.

As a skeptic, the one-sided description of mental health, and the obvious parallel to a "always-on slave collar" jumped out. Is there legitimate use for this kind of employment technology?

As is so common, those most incentivized to produce and deploy such a thing, are the exact character that is not to be trusted with such an invasive machine. It just screams of a need to regulate, to my western culture eye.

yeah, making XML/XSLT fast is definitely a hard problem. still in pretty wide use in enterprise systems where correctness and interop are bigger priorities. i did quite a lot of work with shipping api's recently and you would be surprised how many of them are still XML and even SOAP based.

i'm intrigued by the combination of Assembly and XSL - any pointers to what you use those for?
This is a ridiculously pessimistic take. I'd hardly say that a drug which is used by obese people which lowers their appetite to more normal levels "makes you starve yourself". I've yet to see any reports of people on Ozempic et al who lost so much weight that they died. Usually it's more like they went from obese to "just overweight".

They are losing muscle because whenever someone loses overall body weight there is less mass to carry, so their muscle adjusts accordingly. Similarly, if you put on a fat suit that added 50 pounds to your frame and walked everywhere in it you'd quickly gain muscle.

Ok, exactly which communications does this AI monitor? This seems to be internal corporate coms (corporate email, internal chats) which are not subject to privacy. But the article is very unclear, leaving the reader to assume that they are monitoring social media or something else external to the organization.

Internal company communcation channels are open to inspection by the company. Whether that company wants to use AI or pay for agents to read ever internal email is up to them. Want your bosses not to hear you rant about a new corporate policy? Don't sent such comments via company email.

I’ve always heard it expressed as:

* Carbs should have a ceiling

* Protein should have a floor

* Fat is a lever to adjust based on your goal (lower for weight loss, increase for weight gain)

But there are still edge cases, like if you get zero carbs and a ton of protein your body will compensate by converting protein to carbs (glucose, via gluconeogenisis)

I worked pest control for a few years until 2021. We all knew that pesticides basically don’t work on bed bugs—it was old news.

The article glosses over heat treatments, which is odd, because it really does work, and usually in a single session. It’s a very labor-intensive and invasive procedure, though. The residents must leave the house for 8 hours while the techs bake each room and throw everything around. By the time it’s over, it looks like a tornado went through the house. And our prices started at $5k.

But it did work. The only two scenarios I was aware of where it didn’t were the result of operator error (laziness) or the customer unknowingly taking bed bugs out of the house with them when they left (we found the bed bugs were living in a baseball cap).
For real. That's almost free by NYC standards. Even if I wanted to move out I would keep renting so that I could let family use it or something. Plus, if historical trends on rent stabilized units are anything to go by, it will only get better.

Honestly, I don't mind brokers. I think many people feel wronged by them because of huge bills for little perceived work, but they're not exploiting any monopolies or regulations to exist, like say for example a lot of trade workers do. If you're concerned about NYC housing you should be advocating for ways to make more housing, not killing the market with rent stabilized units and regulations.

Can someone clarify what "TuneCore" is? It seems to be a sort of agent that manages your music IP in exchange for... I guess boosting access on the streaming services? I suppose small musicians don't do very well on Spotify if they release their stuff independently.

I am wondering what Apple/Spotify had to do with this directly (and Benn Jordan didn't seem to accuse them of direct involvement). It seems like it was TuneCore that retaliated, not the streaming companies themselves.

I am ignorant about the music business, but would probably agree the root cause of this mess is Apple/Spotify/etc allowing and encouraging scummy agents and managers because of their own opaque and unfair practices. Still, I think the title of the post should be amended to mention TuneCore directly. I got the impression that Spotify got mad at the composer and delisted his music, but that does not seem to be the case.
By making it hard just to hijack a crucial TLD and transfer it over to an potential adversary without the cooperation of multiple trusted parties? It seems to me this is DNSSEC working as designed, and being remarkably flexible in doing so. Sometimes things _should_ be difficult to do.
Hello everyone, I think I happen to have some experiences to share:

1. Five years ago, I developed my own version of zx/dax version using TypeScript. I call this project TypeShell.

2. In the past three years, I have written x-cmd, implemented by posix shell.

Please visit x-cmd at https://x-cmd.com. It is now close to the public beta version. It is still under construction, and the demo can tell some stories.
It tries to enhance posix shell in various ways. Its installation tar.gz package is only 1.02MB (which can be optimized). Even with sh/awk/curl, it can do a lot of things. These features are called modules.
And, through the self-contained pkg manager (do not require priviledge to install), x-cmd can gain capabilities from existing binaries and other script projects, becoming increasingly powerful.

---

The main reason I gave up TypeShell project was that the startup time became a problem. At that time, node 8 was mainstream, and node 10 had just become LTS. I remember that even using node 10, the startup time was poor compared to python/perl.

In addition to startup performance, size matters. I work on different servers and must carry a 20MB node/typescript zip package to run js script. This was acceptable to me, but I couldn't help thinking, what if the solution was only 5mb. Then I tried to rewrite it in golang, and got a version with a smaller startup time and size. Unfortunately, as I understood bash more deeply, I found that basic functions could be easily accomplished through bash and curl. When I was halfway through, I realized that bash was not available in some places. I challenge to rewrite it with posix shell and awk. After years of effort, x-cmd is almost ready now.

---

Friends, I'm not saying that tools like zx are not good. I do like to write some scripts using js/ts. I believe pythoners prefer https://xon.sh/ . Perl is interesting. Fish is friendly.

However, I believe posix-shell has its own advantages. The balance among size, code length, and expressiveness. I think the only possible competitors are tcl and perl, maybe lua.
But none of the above is included by default in all
server/container environments.

---

I wouldn't advise using posix-shell due to its numerous potential issues. I think people should write scripts using the language and library they are familiar with, and do it for fun.
Friends of js/ts use zx/bun-sh/..., pythoners use xon.sh, etc.

Engineers can use x-cmd like `x <your-script>.[py|mjs|lua|...]`. Then x-cmd will automatically help you download the script runtime, scripts, and install dependencies before running.

This is the future I have always wanted to achieve.

Grandparent of comment to which I first replied:

> I can't think of any important things Mozilla has created since pushing Brendan Eich out 9 years ago.

Comment to which I replied, which you wrote:

> Rust, for example.

Let's recap, since you seem to have a very short context window or memory. Someone wrote they couldn't think of anything important Mozilla created after I left. You cited Rust. I testified that Rust started many years before I left and I was Rust's C-level sponsor and immediate colleague of its creator.

You then reappear after several nesting replies to imply I'm lying and have bad motives. After this, here we are with you ignoring your own false claim that Mozilla created Rust after I left. It seems to me, without ascribing motive, that you are the one with a weak grasp on the truth here, even the truth of what you wrote in prior comments on this page.

My take is that most people cant resist the urge to assert what they think they rule should be, complicating the test. ambulances aren't allowed, but they shuld be. Drones are allowed, but they shouldnt be.

I think it speaks to a deep discomfort with the idea that rules, even theoretical ones, might not be agreeable or fair.

I was surprised to see I got 100% agreement with the majority on each question. But I guess that means i would still disagree with most everyone on at least one question

Prior to the changes made by Theresa May in 2012, it took 2 years for a spouse to be eligible for ILR and further year for citizenship. I believe in some cases it was possible for a spouse to immediately aquire ILR if the couple had lived together in marriage while abroad.

Now, it takes 5 years for ILR and the spouse of a British citizen is immediately eliable on acquiring ILR to apply for citizenship. A spouse would not normally be on the 10 year route to ILR, unless they depend on 3rd party sponsorship to meet the financial requirements.

It has become a lot more expensive with increased fees and the Immigration Health Surcharge. IMHO, the worst of it is having to apply 3 times over the 5 year period, all the stress and paperwork involved in proving compliance with the financial requirements, and that it discourages you from changing jobs.

I lived in NYC for 8 years in a rent-stablized APT in the lower east side, my rent was < 1200 when I left. The price was great but it was in an old building, it was only 220 square feet, and I live there w/ my then gf, now wife. (most of my friends thought we were crazy, but they still rent and I own w/ the money I saved)

I was able to get the apartment by subleasing someone else in apartment in the building. I always paid my rent on time, and caused no issues for the landlord (parties, etc). When a new apartment opened up, I was giving first dibs.
Small but consistent improvements in general seem like a great idea! Wishing you the best.

Yep, and this is called catharsis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharsis

For more on Plato's thoughts on aesthetics:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato-aesthetics/

I wouldn't say he was critical of poetry because they weren't "valuable in practical life" as Plato certainly wasn't a pragmatist. It's more that he thought the imitative arts didn't give true knowledge (i.e., a poet talking about war doesn't have actual true knowledge of war) and that poetry/literature often has bad role models that shouldn't be imitated by real people.

I used to find Plato's criticisms absurd and difficult to understand, but as media becomes more realistic, more influential, and more willing to display unethical characters in a sympathetic light for the sake of "the market" or "storytelling" I think he is probably correct at some level.

I'm thinking of the countless shows which glorify violence, cheating, drug smuggling, and so forth. It's not clear that glorifying these things in the media leads to them being acted out in real life, but even if it doesn't: that still seems like a massive sense of cognitive dissonance, wherein the cultural products of a society are only tenuously related to its real-world values.

1. I wanted to drive a zero-emissions vehicle. In 2022 gasoline prices in California reached record-high prices, and I believed it was a good time to look at alternatives.

2. I live in an apartment complex that lacks EV chargers. My landlord has no plans to install them, so buying an EV meant being entirely dependent on public chargers.

3. The hydrogen situation looked more optimistic in 2022, with new stations being planned and with infrastructure improvements Coming Soon(TM).

Of course, gasoline prices fell, but hydrogen prices went through the roof in 2023. When I bought my Mirai in November 2022, hydrogen cost $19.70/kg at True Zero stations; most stations in Silicon Valley are operated by True Zero. A month after I purchased my Mirai, prices rose to $23.75, then again the following month to $26.75. These price hikes were blamed on the spike in natural gas prices that occurred in early 2023. But while natural gas prices did fall, hydrogen prices never fell; in fact, they kept increasing until it reached $36 in summer 2023, which remains the price at True Zero stations.

Thankfully True Zero’s stations in Silicon Valley have been relatively reliable. Every now and then there would be supply-related outages, but they have been resolved relatively quickly in Silicon Valley. However, the situation is different in Southern California, and I feel especially bad for Sacramento-area Mirai drivers, who are reliant on one Iwatani station that gets so much traffic that there is a waitlist app! People have waited hours in line for fuel there.

The silver lining is that my Mirai came with a $15,000 fuel card that I use for purchasing fuel, so I don’t have to deal with the direct costs now. However, at $36/kg my card will likely run out by the end of the year, and once it does I’m on the hook for paying nearly $200 for a full tank, with a range of about 300 miles. By comparison, the Prius c that I traded in upon purchasing my Mirai cost $56 to fill up when gas was $7/gal, and it had a range of roughly 360 miles.

I’m hoping that hydrogen production will increase this year as a result of the energy bill Biden signed last year, which has provisions for investing in hydrogen. The Mirai is a wonderful luxury car, but I admit that if Toyota announced a buyback option for the Mirai, then I’d hand over the keys immediately and revert to a hybrid like a Prius or a Crown.

We had a house centipede infestation when I lived in NYC.

It was awesome. No bed bugs. No roaches except in the end of summer, (the giant flying variety and it was really just the month of August when the humidity is out of control they would come out of the drains.)

No bugs in general.

Those house centipedes ate everything.

> And yet, the author could have stipulated motor vehicles and a 400 ft FAA air ceiling boundary to the park, and most of the trick questions in that survey that generated disagreement would suddenly flip to everyone answering them correctly.

Sure; but people don't read a screed of small-print legalese when walking into a park with a matchbox car in their pocket. And similarly, people don't read 20 pages of legalese terms-of-use before posting to a forum. The rules for getting on with those around us need to be as simple as the Ten Commandments. Violating rules about what's allowed in a park generally doesn't lead to litigation, so you don't need a litigation-proof legal code to express those rules.

Many schools have a small set of concise rules constructed by the students, and I wish national laws were more like that.

Getting old sucks. Your mind is fine but your body lags behind. I’ve noticed it a lot more after turning 40.

Skateboarding (I can still kickflip), snowboarding, fighting (for sport, like mma), volunteering for habitat for humanity building homes (can’t do that no more). The best thing is that I work with computers so my job job isn’t physically demanding but boy does it suck bending over to drop trash in the waste bin only to have your back slip out.
