Don’t have any thoughts about this cli tool but am I the only one that thinks that the ShadCN components, besides looking pretty, actually are not good? I used it in a project and regret it since the actual code is written in a way that does not lend itself to modular usage (the form components are particularly bad) with wrappers upon contexts upon wrappers obscuring the true abstraction; I don’t like Tailwind so I had to rewrite all the styles; and ultimately it’s just a wrapper on Radix UI which already is a reasonable abstraction (though even further, React Aria seems nicer from the get-go). Ended up just rewriting practically everything it produced to not suck.

EDIT: actually read the README here, I guess this is cool in that I could register components that, unlike ShadCN, don’t suck, and still lead to the same vendored approach that allowed me to rewrite all the ShadCN components. It seems kind of ridiculous as the other commenters mentioned that this is a cli for a registry on top of a cli from another registry…
Piezoelectric pickups are often used with stringed instruments, including classic/acoustic guitars, violas, cellos, etc. and sometimes also as one of the options in electric guitars (usually in addition to a couple of single or humbucker pickups). Their defining characteristic being a very "flat" response curve (second only to optical pickups, and much cheaper), they're appreciated in classical music, where accurate timbre reproduction is favored over giving an instrument "more color".

What are the defining factors that would make such a microphone solution sub-optimal?
As a pedestrian who doesn't drive and doesn't cycle, in 10 years living in a major city (with decent cycling infrastructure) I've had 0 close calls with cars, and 4 very dangerous close calls with cyclists. In all cases, they were driving through red lights as pedestrians crossed, not signalling when turning, or ignoring other basic rules of the road. If we got rid of all car traffic and replaced it with cyclists, I am not confident things would be safer.

I have only one anecdote to compare the Internet of yesteryear with today.

In 1998 when I was 14, on my ISP portal there was a link called "CHAT", with a list of channel and topics. In a channel targeted to teenagers, it was full of teenagers.

No bots, no FBI, no creepy adults. Kids my age from all over the country talking and having fun, in a public space. I know because over the years I have met and even had my first real-life relationship with people met in there.

I do not believe for a single second anyone that says today's Internet is more fun, safe, approachable, original than today.
I would think that by now the homelab crowd moved to Hyper-v or KVM based solution.
But is it really necesary to use the such a bloated piece of software as a web browser? i think it would be better to discard the whole web and replace it with the gemini protocol.

It can do 99.99% of what you use the web for with less resource usage. you can implement your own gemini client in 100 lines of code.

For the remainder 0.01% of stuff, use a dedicated application. Dont trust it? Use it with docker or similar.

As far as Im concerned all the browser bloat is worse than useless. Much of it is just to spy on you. Im sure these dedicated spying apps, you call web browsers, are deliberately full of security holes so they can upload your data to their servers

Yes I agree it's complex. So large companies with large tech teams and expertise can handle this and will likely build teams to develop and maintain their own RAG pipelines. I believe simplifying this to non-experts is a necessary next step.
I'm curious though about more specific challenges - what is the most difficult part of building RAG applications? Is it educating yourself about the various components (embeddings, vector databases, LLM, prompts), is it scaling, data ingest, security, data privacy? Something else?
Well patents are supposed to be more "you have to pay me if you want to use it before the term expires". Maybe a requirement to offer patent licenses for a reasonable price could help there, but it's tricky. I think at a minimum though software patents should have a shorter term than physical inventions.
Are you flipping from your main GPU to like a GT710 to do the gpu vfio mount? Or can you share the dgpu directly and not have to go headless now?

I've done this on both a hackintosh and void linux. I was so excited to get the hackintosh working because I honestly hate day desktop linux, it's my day job to work on and I just don't want to deal with it after work.

Unfortunately both would break in significant ways and I'd have to trudge through and fix things. I had that void desktop backed up with Duplicacy (duplicati front end) and IIRC I tried to roll back after breaking qemu, it just dumps all your backup files into their dirs, and I think I broke it more.

I think at that point I was back up in Windows in 30 mins.. and all of its intricacies like bsoding 30% of the time that I either restart it or unplug a usb hub. But my Macbooks have a 30% chance of not waking up on Monday morning when I haven't used them all weekend without me having to grab them and open the screen.
You're on the right track with pricing. What I find ubiquitous about MDS people is a lack of old-school ideas like benchmarking and price-performance. Cloud salespeople talk endlessly about your company becoming data-driven until you bring up cost data.
Foremost, it's just nested lists and not a tree. We are talking about lists and atoms. We are then talking about list operations, like getting list elements, appending lists, reversing lists, listing things, nesting lists and atoms, mapping lists, matching lists, destructuring of lists, ...

This is a list:

(munich frankfurt dresden)

This is a list of lists

((münchen :state Bavaria)
(frankfurt :state hessen )
(dresden :state sachsen))

If we look at the level of conses and atoms, then we see a binary tree and operations: car, cdr, cons, ... Lisp is there a low-level language: lists are made of simpler building blocks: two-item nodes and atoms.

This is a tree:

((a . (10 . nil))
.
((b . (20 . nil))
.
nil))

The dot is an infix syntax element for a cons cell.

Which as a nested list is shorter written as

((a 10) (b 20))

Some of the most interesting people I've ever met had gone to berea.

Are you sure the constraint is shipping?

That industry is very volatile but I had the impression the boom was 2020 and 2021 when everybody went on a buying spree but governments forgot quite a lot of people need to get out of the house in order to make this work. Also the infrastructure is not elastic to that point.

Now my impression was of "excess capacity" and rates going to the ground because the spree is over and inflation is the hangover.

Probably it's a bit of everything, including people realizing EVs are far from being a panacea and the math doesn't add up for their finances.

The game engines won. Folks aren't building Direct3D or Vulkan renderers; they're using Unity or Unreal or Godot and clicking "export" to target whatever API makes sense for the platform.

WebGPU might be the thing that unifies the frontend API for folks writing cross-platform renderers, seeing as browsers will have to implement it on top of the platform APIs anyway.
The second answer is the only correct solution.

Until the global birth rate is sub-replacement for generations, there's no point in even having this conversation. If the issue is that the "right" kind of people ("native" people in advanced economies) aren't having children, but the "wrong" kind (aka the Global South, immigrants, etc.), then that's just racism. There's no baby shortage -- the ethnic makeup of humanity is simply changing and we will need to erase most of those artificial borders in order to survive. We ARE a single society, and pretending that we're not is a mutual suicide pact.

For lawyers, theres no such constraint and the limiting factor is typically attending law school and successfully getting a job as an attorney. The demand for attorneys is driven mostly by the business world and thus the economy. After the global financial crisis, there was a severe contraction in the demand for lawyers and many had to leave the industry. There are many ex-lawyers and law school-trained professionals who chosen other careers.

The lack of operator precedence has no relationship with the mandatory use of parentheses.

For example the APL syntax for expressions, which I prefer, is that there is no operator precedence.

The operands are associated to operators strictly from the right to the left, regardless which operators or functions are used, which is a much wiser choice than the reverse traditional order of evaluation.

No parentheses are used, except when they are needed to modify the default evaluation order.
The only real way to find the hidden gems is to have genuine curiosity and be a voracious reader.

Oftentimes you won't know that you're going to get a golden egg from a book until you actually read it, so you find good books by following your curiosity and consistently reading.

The only issue with this approach is that some of the best books out there can be prohibitively expensive, so it helps if you can find them in a library before you buy. But many of the best books will never be in a public library, either.

More generally, the best writing out there either exists in the academic world, or the ancient world. Writing that was written by PhDs for other PhDs, and historical (usually religious) text that was preserved throughout history.

If you're searching for books in a shiny, new bookstore, it's very likely that about 95% of what's in there is going to be disingenuous crap. If you're searching online or in a quality used bookstore you'll have better luck.
They're not saying that the second snippet is "fixed", they're saying that the auto-indented second snippet highlights the mistake to the reader. Yes there are 11 parentheses in both the code snippets because both are "incorrect" in that they're both missing a parenthesis. The GP is trying to point out that since Emacs automatically re-indents the first snippet so that it looks like the second snippet, the reader knows immediately that something "isn't quite right".

So if only 10 students are on this committee[1], that makes more sense.

What are you running for audio? pipewire+jack, pipewire, jack2, pulseaudio? I wonder if it's from latency. Pulseaudio is the most common but if you do any audio engineering or play guitar etc with your machine we all use jack protocol for less latency.

Could be completely unrelated though, RDP sessions can definitely act up, get audio out of sync etc. I try to never do pass through rdp audio, it's not even enabled by default in the mstsc client IIRC but that may just be a "probably server" thing.

No, we're increasing the energy in the atmosphere since the atmosphere is holding on to more energy that previously would have escaped to space.

We're not increasing the energy that's being inputted to the atmosphere, but increasing how much of that energy it retains, and thus how much energy is available for weather.

Autonomy is arguably better fostered by them learning to navigate school (and to/from school) by themselves. Different strokes for different folks.
What is "change-of-basis"? My Google-fu failed me.
Correct, that's where for example an interpreter walks the code and builds up the understanding. Similar a compiler, a code walker or other tools.

The shallow view allows in Lisp to provide new/different views of code. That's good and bad. Many transformations of code don't need a deep understanding, many do. In Lisp I can write (infix 3 + 1 * sin (x)), because an infix macro can provide its own interpretation, by transforming the code. But then I need to parse the code and find out what the things are: variables, literals, operators, calls, ...

For example when I want to substitute FOO with a call:

CL-USER 34 > (LET* ((FOO 10) (BAR (+ FOO 32)))
(symbol-macrolet ((foo (print 2)))
(* foo bar foo bar foo ; 1-3
(flet ((foo (a) (* foo a))) ; 5
(foo (* foo bar)))))) ; 4

2 ; 1
2 ; 2
2 ; 3
2 ; 4
2 ; 5
2370816

Here the symbol-macrolet knows which FOO to expand, and which not. There are five expansions in the code, which makes 2 printed five times. You can see that it works in nested code, too : it knows that some FOO are function names and those will not be expanded.

Whereas a MACROLET knows, where an operator needs to be expanded:

CL-USER 38 > (LET* ((FOO 10) (BAR (+ FOO 32)))
(macrolet ((foo (a) `(print ,a)))
(* foo bar foo bar (foo bar) ; 1
(flet ((bar (a) (foo a))) ; 2
(bar (* foo bar))))))

42 ; 1
420 ; 2

I am using this https://a.co/d/4Bl8opp to set up my 2 MacBook Pros with 8k Monitor. The good thing about this is, it also has power delivery so that I don't have to use another cable to manage power and replaced my 2 docking stations with this. However, this still sometimes loses signal and I had to switch to other monitor and back with remote to get the signal back which is not ideal but have to live with because of limited options out there. Another limitation is, it supports 8k with 30Hz refresh rate only. I am open to suggestions if anyone has solved this problem.

> our human value doesn't actually change, but a measure of our productivity is assigned to us by the status quo

Disagree strongly with this. Our productivity is measurable and has always been the benchmark for which we have been compensated whether self-employed or employed. As our productivity has increased we have always made more in real-terms. Apart from short-term blips there's no exceptions to this.

Secondly, a system in which humans are given more than their collective productivity (economic value) will always be unstable. For example, if you owned an AI business in which you're handing people more economic value than they're giving you'd be better off just leaving the country because the relationship is parasitical and senseless.

> If a government can't provide its population the means to sustain itself, then the people democratically overthrow it, sometimes violently as history shows.

A government doesn't really create any value in an economy. In the Western capitalist model the private sector creates all of the wealth and the government simply syphons a chunk off the top and redistributes it. The reason the government can do this is because people have collective economic power, otherwise businesses would simply ignore the demands of governments. But in a world where humans provide neither economic demand or supply businesses won't care what you want.

For example, how do you propose we "overthrow" a government in a world where we're all government dependants and out gunned by the government? Are you going to go on a hunger strike or something?

If you can't fight or withhold your labour you have no power. And if the people collective have no power government will obviously be corrupted and no longer represent people – why would they?

This is this core issue I'm really trying to get at here. Simply demanding UBI can not work. We must first ensure humans retain their economic power or humans collectively have no leverage.

I'm 100% with you on the sentiment of your argument, but pragmatically I think you (and most people) underestimate how difficult this is.
