If it weren’t for BBC Basic I wouldn’t have started coding as a kid. Assembler was too hard to grok. The books said “Load the Accumulator” and I didn’t really get what that meant. The book could have explained it better. But in any case there is a place for easy languages.

Another way to do this would be in Go - the language famous for being easy to learn (but not as easy as a turtle or basic). Again just define functions for theses things in a library then you could have something very similar.

Speaking of Mac software from the previous century, today I learned that the web browsers iCab and OmniWeb are still around.

OmniWeb first came out in 1995 for NextSTEP and was later released for Mac OS X. I believe it was The Omni Group's main app pre-OmniGraffle. The last stable release was in 2012, but the unstable version is still getting occasional updates.[^1]

iCab was first released in 1999 for Mac OS 7/8 as shareware. Looks like it's still getting a few updates per year, too.[^2]

Unfortunately, I would assume all public works, and many private ones, on the internet have been consumed by LLM training models, and done so illegally, in my opinion. Finding out if it has been consumed is also probably impossible. You could try filing a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA), but that is no simple matter.

They can't. They control the House, not the Senate, and they'd need both in order to change it back. Or, under the new rule, at least the Senate by itself, which is the part they haven't got.

Agility in central government is overrated. If it does nothing you can still take a crack at the problem at the state level or in the private sector, whereas if it does something bad, you're screwed.

Post author here. I like this idea. I plan to explore it and make a more generic solution. I'd love to have a point-and-click interface for annotating scenes.

For example, I'd like to be able to click on pieces of coffee equipment in a photo of my coffee setup so I can add sticky note annotations when you hover over each item.

For the bookshelves idea specifically, I would love to have a correction system in place. The problem isn't so much SAM as it is Grounding DINO, the model I'm using for object identification. I then pass each identified region to SAM and map the segmentation mask to the box.

Grounding DINO detects a lot of book spines, but often misses 1-2. I am planning to try out YOLO-World (https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World), which, in my limited testing, performs better for this task.

Around early 2019 I set up a raspberry pi 3 running Raspbian. I made the /var/log partition a ramdisk. Haven't touched it since. It goes down for power outages but probably has been out for a couple minutes total over five years (aside from power outages). Most of its job is to translate analog audio to a USB speaker system. Whole house audio for about $150. Anyway, I never touch it, it just works, all the time.

I suspect they’ll co-exist, but I don’t think full replacement is likely in many cases. Existing RPA products will continue to exist if for no other reason that they’re already deeply embedded in many environments. Over time, those same products will just get easier to use.

One of the core features of RPA products is centralized visibility and management of the lifecycle of automations. This will remain even if the entire interaction layer changes.

Something like the OS-Copilot layer lowers the barrier to entry though and I could easily see there being multiple choices for orgs looking to do this kind of automation in the future, and this is where I see the opportunity for disruption.

Most likely the RPA products will add all of the necessary buzzwords to keep people in buying roles interested and more likely to keep renewing.
Yup, IMO, they are chasing phone numbers and more personal information they can scrape.

I can't know for sure, but my thinking not oft used accounts, indicates accounts used for special or minor activities, and as such are the sort of accounts that generally have low numbers of emails -- their removal, very little will be gained if for storage issues, even if some people used the service as a place to back up personal photos and other data.

It was nice Google offered free web mails, and for a period of time, but I guess, like always, eventually they figured they wanted more profits.

Of course it's a pity to lose such services to the paranoia of 2FA (I'm told it'd take years to crack a 20 char password)... while some services such as google offered email as the second step for verification, in the end, typically the only viable methods reverts to phones and text messages. I have found the second email option doesn't work for google, (not surprised) - I guess their excuse might be, it's sort of anonymous (to marketing types and not to anyone who had access to certain tools) as well.

I think you grossly overestimate the number of people who actually value the existence of Bezos and Musk types. Most among the right and left voters see them as lazy non-contributors, propped up by political corruption.

The right feels serving a king under a different name is wrong. The left finds it anti-scientific and conservative to preserve the rich given their wealth is heavily influenced by conservative politics. It’s a good thing for elites the right leaning voters are easily manipulated, since “both sides” voters polled actually want the same thing; the rich minority to be gutted and their power handed over to local communities.

This is going to be true for any VPN - even if it were purely IP in IP encapsulation, you'd need an additional IP header to get the packet to the VPN endpoint, so your payload is smaller. But fragmentation probably isn't the right answer (especially since any packets marked DF will be dropped). If the MTU for your Wireguard interface is set correctly then anything trying to push a 1500 byte packet via a Wireguard interface should get back an ICMP packet telling it that that won't fit and adjust its packet size downwards appropriately.

I actually hit this recently, where I wasn't able to stream videos from certain sites over Wireguard. I spend a while with tcpdump and figured out that they were using Fastly as a CDN, Fastly was sending 1500 byte packets marked with Don't Fragment, my Wireguard endpoint was returning a message saying that the maximum packet size for the link was 1460 bytes, and Fastly was then… sending another 1500 byte packet marked Don't Fragment. To their credit when I was able to provide their engineering with logs showing this was clearly a Fastly problem, they fixed it fairly promptly

Yeah, its population has been largely farming for generations and Big Ag is buying up land and pushing them off. It doesn't help that the people who live there are only able to make a living from government subsidized crop prices, and they actively vote against all those liberal policies, like said crop price subsidies, that have greatly benefitted them since the great depression and dust bowl. Too many think they do it all by themselves. Rather we are all in this together in spite of the assholes.
I'm not a network engineer, but somehow I imagine that for at least some links fragmentation could be also handled transparently at lower layer, i.e. limit fragmentation to single hops and always reassemble packets before passing them on.

> Why does the right insist on a massive military budget, then complain about sending surplus supplies overseas?

Well we're crossing from the point where I can talk about "the right" because the stances I've heard are too mutually incoherent; this is the part where everyone has their own opinions. My argument is if you have an unreasonably large budget, then you donate some stuff, then the budget needs to get bigger again to cover the donations.

Fair summary of the thread so far by the way, not often I get to say that in threads that go beyond 2 posts.

> The monetary cost of this war (to the US) is just not a legitimate part of the debate. It’s pittance what we’ve supplied.

I have a few problems with that line of thought.

Firstly, describing it as a pittance is unreasonable. The resources sent to Ukraine could have been used in the US to achieve good things. It is 10s of billions of dollars; it could get dumped on some random small struggling town in the rural US and no-one there would ever have to work again (across multiple generations if they managed their investments right). There is an opportunity cost to wasting that much money that means the US is worse off.

Secondly, if you add all the "pittances" up that the US wastes on foreign war you get real money. The the war in Afghanistan ended up being around 2 trillion over 20 years which comes to a burn rate in the range of the US spending in Ukraine (~100 billion/yr in Afghanistan vs ~75 billion/yr in Ukraine [0]). These pittances aren't pittances from that perspective either.

And finally US doesn't look like it can afford a pittance. It is like someone with a deep debt problem buying lottery tickets. The financial situation in the US is dire; the threshold has been crossed where the principle on their debt isn't going to be paid back and we're looking for the point where either they stop borrowing or the interest doesn't paid back either. It is unreasonable to be talking about just finding a little surplus to give away - the US exhausted those options years ago. There has to be an answer to the "what is being given up?" question.

Now if the US was getting some sort of payoff or helping the Ukrainians in some way then that cost might be justifiable, but it seems that all the US involvement is doing is transforming Ukrainians into other-countrians and corpses while securing China's geopolitical position. We have established international norms for how theses invasions should play out, they were established in the 2000s by the US's adventurism. They're getting broken here with no obvious upside gained.

By perspective, I mean that things that happened in the past, have occurred in the environment of the past, not how things are now.

We grow as people, all the time, and what we are today is not what we were back then.

By going through a stressful experience, once we can take time to analyze it and take away lessons, then just by going through that retrospective process, we become different people.

So, the past is in the past.

Today we are not who we were back then.

Today we have a broader experience and more tools and points of view to view situations as they occur in the future.

That's why I say to keep it in perspective...

Let it stay in that part of your timeline, you're growing and learning through more experiences.

Be grateful for the lessons it has already taught you, and you definitely will learn more out of it as you get more experience.

Turning bad experiences into lessons that makes you a better person is a great skill to have. But it takes practice!

> To some among this new crop of tech workers and start-up founders, defense contracting is a higher calling to extend American ideals into the next century. This group of (mostly) men believes in hard work, real innovation, and family values. They’re eager to accelerate progress for America. And a growing number of investors can’t wait to back them.

The first three sentences made me laugh, the last one reveals the real motivation. They aren't answering to a higher calling around "hard work, real innovation, and family values". They're answering to the higher calling of VC funds and the potential to become the next (or be acquired by) Raytheon, LM, NG, and others. Grifters aiming for US tax dollars knowing the government will not cut defense spending.
Honestly, and I don't know if he'll have an opportunity to read this, but as someone who's both a computer geek and has dabbled in improv and comedy improv, he may find that coding and comedy writing are not entirely separate paths.

There's definitely a STRUCTURE to successful comedy. Certain things have to be in certain conjunctions. Yes, there are definitely times when anticomedy will work, or deadpan comedy, but it's not an utter free-for-all.

Solar has really benefited from modularity. Panels and batteries are mass produced and conform to a standard interface regardless of manufacturer.

The small size of each unit means vastly more iteration on manufacturing than power sources that rely on larger units, so you also get more rapid advancement in manufacturing efficiency.

The end result is a 3.5 GW plant with 4 GWh storage can get built and made operational in two years time.

Natural gas plants — which are quick to build by the standards of power plants — will take four to six years to build for one with that output.

2. What if tests had undisputable bug?
