> I would bet a majority does not even activate things like XMP

I highly doubt that. XMP is pretty much mandatory to get even remotely close to the intended performance. Without XMP your DDR4 memory isn't going beyond 2400MHz - but you almost have to try to find a motherboard, memory, or CPU which can't run at 3200MHz or even higher. It has all been designed for speeds like that, it's just not part of the official DDR4 spec.

It's less critical with DDR5, but you're still expected to enable it.
I too wonder the same thing.

In addition to holding the concept in working memory for longer, writing being slower also leads to better refinement of the ideas as you write as the brain has more time to process the thought being written down.
I'm in the same camp. The single time they actually delivered it to me without saying I wasn't home they had actually delivered it one street over.

I spent 72 hours waiting (3x24 periods they told me to wait and call back tomorrow while they "investigated") for a $1300 package. Initially they said it must have been stolen and its my loss, to which I said "no I was home and near the front door all day, you didn't deliver it". Pretty absurd they can't just look where he was when it was "delivered" and deal with it. Or maybe they can and they just don't bother.

Eventually the person actually called me using my number on the box and said it was delivered there.

Still no recourse from FedEx, whom I have not informed I got the package in the end.

I know what you’re getting at but I disagree with the analysis and I’ll try to frame what I mean, which is somewhat the opposite.

I mean the ‘11 visit is indicative of serious attention paid to by serious people very early on relative to the rest of crypto’s history. As in, the founder was right to be cautious.

“Early on” in this case means that outside of tech pubs and curiosity pieces due to the compelling founder mystery, the space was treated as a joke by and large. Like watch Banking on Bitcoin, and imagine trying to convince critics of it at that time that ETFs, crypto aide to Ukraine, 3x nation state adoptions, custody teams at big banks, and so on were all coming. I would just completely disagree if you argued this wasn’t the theme then. So yes, 2011 and intel agency interest is quite early on.

For example, it’s taken 15 years to get tangible regulatory clarity which arguably just starting finally with the ETF.
Not sure if you're serious. However, I think such a society would be an utter paradise for the usual psychopaths. Sort of an The Invention of Lying concept. Cynicism is an adaptive response, it doesn't arise out of nowhere.

Now, if you told me that you were going to fundamentally alter human nature such that nobody had any reason to be cynical, well ... but then other questions are raised.

That's great and I have no doubt it's nice writing with a good fountain pen but people should not get caught up in that they HAVE to write with some expensive fountain pen or mechanical pencil. Most of the time, a basic pencil and notepad will work just fine.

Not that that is what you do but people may read your comment and get fixated that it has to be a nice fountain pen or mechanical pencil.

> They have been the most consistently reliable delivery service where I live (though the post office is pretty good too).

Every service relies on the USPS to some extent, which makes the Republican attempt to gut the organization so baffling. There's no replacement and nobody is looking to replace it.

From my perspective as an ex letter carrier, your personal experience with package delivery is determined almost entirely by whoever runs the local hub and handles last-mile. Unfortunately it's a McDonald's Assistant Manager kind of role; anyone truly competent will be able to find better work sooner or later.
shift your working hours to 12-8, be open to changing jobs if it’s an issue.
Yes but my point is more that if the resources of a nation state are at play, they will probably be able to figure out who Satoshi is/was.
Because they used a transformer to reach a nice solution, better than a typical A* search, which is a "naive" or go to solution. And they didn't think about designing an algorithm. I find it quite impressive that a simple encoder-decoder transformer can achieve so much.

Separately from the password aspect, consider how convenient it may be to use your smartphone as a kind of re-reified "clipboard": Use the camera and on-device OCR to copy text, then "paste" it as a virtual keyboard connected over USB.

It's very niche, but in those rare situations it'll be a big time-saver compared to human transcription or the rigamarole of setting up some other kind of data channel.

Reminds me of a Facebook thread I saw a few days ago, on the topic of 3D printing houses. All the comments were angry dismissive "hurr durr that's clearly poor quality work" with no further justification of their position, and it struck me how similar the overall energy was to the "all AI image generation is bad and shit and is also heinous immoral theft and you're literally the worst person in the world and yous should feel bad" sort of raging that you see any time someone posts some SD or Midjourney or whatever pic of a cute puppy riding a tricycle. These comments originate from people who've spent their lives learning skills that are now largely replaceable by a few gigs of download and a Python tutorial. No wonder they're upset.
Agreed.

I find work on my own code generally fun and easy and extremely productive. Vs, work on "other people's code" often frustrating and slow. I do often learn amazing stuff from other people's code though. What makes it slow is the time it takes to get a usually very incomplete mental model of what the code does and then trying to divine what the owners will want when I add a feature.

Unlike the original poster though, I have't had the experience of co-workers writing horrific code in most of my career. A few exceptions but mostly they've been great. Especially at FAANMG though I assume YMMV.
I feel like it must be true that there are many others out there that were able to hang on and now we merely know about them as a wealthy person, rather than as a criminal.

The question is what the ratio is: one caught for every ten not caught?

Speaker quality makes a huge difference according to my experiences from lower end $30 portable speaker to stereo sound systems in cars. Last weekend I rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its sound quality is noticeably terrible because I couldn't hear some backing violin/piano sound of a symphony compared with my own car.

Some of these are pretty good. The AITemplate Stable diffusion demo, for instance, is a nice hidden gem (though I'm not sure if it works on consumer hardware these days).
Not to counterpoint, but just for the sake of discussion, i kind of want the opposite but for maybe similar reasons. I want flexible robots that can replace my human labor. I don’t want specialist robots that are obligate specialists.

Laundry, cooking, dishes, sweeping, vacuuming, and other constantly recurring tasks are what I would love to see automated not just a “robot that sweeps” like the market has been trying to sell me.

Ever since I read the second shift book about the unpaid extra 40 hour week women work doing domestic tasks I’ve dreamed of robots replacing that for humanity. It’s a massive cost to people individually and humanity overall, and kind of a silent epidemic.

It’s crazy but freeing up half of humanity from the drudge work of daily chores is one of the most obvious disruptive technology plays. I rarely hear people put the robot revolution in this context, but I very much think we should start doing so.

Here’s a good overview for the uninitiated:

This feels like missing the point; of course CFR is in tension with speed of delivery! It's to stop gaming the metrics. If you don't have CFR to balance the lead time for changes and deployment frequency then you can make a pipeline and delivery process that very rapidly deploys very buggy code.

DORA metrics can be summarised as "are you delivering high quality changes quickly"? It's not a bad incentive to encourage less buggy code.

Two things that make me quite dislike Spotify (as a real actual human ;) is their attempt to monopolize and exclusive-ize podcasts, which I treasure as an open medium, and that they pay less money back to artists (I believe).

Perhaps it's my personal bias stemming from what I believe to be legitmate gripes with Spotify, but I feel like perhaps they get more negative coverage because they do negative things.

If you have Spotify Premium, it's been possible for years to set up a Spotify Connect receiver, and you can control your connect receivers via API, so it is in fact possible to use a third party client, if one exists.

Spot knocked it out of the park with this approach. If you just want the Spotify Receiver, you could use the underlying library that doubles as a CLI, librespot, but Spot serves as a nice example of using the Spotify APIs to actually search your library and control the receiver without the Spotify app and handles this all for you.

Afaik working breeds are the smartest and are already the most genetically diverse. Not sure if correlation or causation though.
Thanks for the pointer to Build123D -- I really like the idea of building 3D models as code, so this might be a great alternative.

My use case back then was working on prototypes for plastic products we'd eventually be injection molding. I found OpenSCAD to be an extremely effective tool for quickly iterating on designs. I'd tweak some parameters or code, 3D print a batch of samples, hand them out to testers for feedback, rinse and repeat.

Then, once the design was production ready, we'd hand off the final protos to the engineers who would design the injection molds. I'm sure they were using Solidworks or the like. OpenSCAD added a lot of value in the early design phase of these projects, but wasn't involved past prototyping, so I suppose we never encountered its limits.
If I'm not mistaken the largest mamba model right now is 2.8B and undertrained with low quality data (the Pile only). The main problem is that it's new and unproven.

Should become very interesting once someone with both data and significant financial backing takes the plunge and trains something of notable size. Perhaps Llama-3 might already end up being that attempt, as we seem to be heavily into diminishing returns for transformers.
In university I noticed that some of my classmates just sat there and didn't take notes. So I stopped as well. I sat there, listened and then took pictures of the blackboard. This method worked better for me and I noticed that I performed better. The lesson here is that people learn in different ways.

Not everyone has that option, as you say. My career was in a similar dead-end situation at one point; there was no immediate solution - nothing was going to make tomorrow or next month better than today.

Finally, I accepted the solution was long-term. I made a long-term plan - to do what I really loved - and focused my attention on that, and slowly built up the resources, skills, etc. for that plan. One wonderful side effect was that the dead-end part diminished in my mind; sure, I still had to do it, it still sucked and there were some awful days, but it would pass. I didn't matter so much; those people didn't matter; it was like one of those movies where the kid knows that someday they will leave the depressing, dead-end town they are stuck in today.

I hope that helps a little in your situation! Good luck!
I can only assume they’ve done their market research and decided to not bother with the “audiophile” segment.

For everybody that really needs extra inaudible bits, there’s always Tidal, Apple Music etc., but personally, I just run the occasional speedtest over 5G while listening to Spotify if I feel like wasting bandwidth.

Audiophile pro tip: Make sure to listen to lossless 24 bit/96 kHz files via a compressed Bluetooth connection or the AAC-256 analog-digital-analog reencoding adapter contraption of the Airpods Max for extra warmth and richness!
Brave or Firefox with UBO a few userscripts, and a lightly tweaked user.js/userChrome for nice-looking tree-style tabs, in no particular order.

Haven't had Chrome installed on any of my machines for ~5 years at this point.

Not the biggest fan of Brave (especially considering this latest AI crap, and all the weird crypto stuff), but I'm satisfied with it overall. FF still remains #1 in my eyes and usage, but has to be tweaked to my liking.

I think that technically you can make lossy sound really good - almost indistinguishable.

I also think that they may fail badly at it - I've heard lossy formats that sound like crap, and lossless that sound similarly bad. There's a lot more that goes into it beyond just "what is the setting on the compressor".
> But in most software systems I've worked with, Many-To-Many relationships are often the most complex, the most difficult to reason about, and the most difficult to maintain, because they introduce a third object -- the Relationship itself.

From the database perspective, the one-to-many model already requires introducing the third Relationship object. If you have "persons", and you have "pets", you're probably going to end up with "person_pets".

Yes, for a one-to-many you can certainly just stick an "owner" column in "pets" instead of having a separate "person_pets" table (ideally called something more sensible like "pet_owners"), but splitting it up doesn't really entail much more effort.

I hear your point and it's a valid one. Consider the recent case of Tornado Cash and the Open Source Is Not A Crime movement. Two individuals were arrested for developing open-source code on GitHub. Just last week, GoFundMe shut down the Tornado Cash legal defense crowdfunding. This suggests that the state is more interested in protecting itself from individuals rather than defending their rights. This could potentially set a precedent where inventors or developers of decentralized technologies could be targeted, even if they've done nothing inherently wrong.

The key part of the data model mismatch, one that could be solved, is that Git does not natively give you a way to refer to a commit by a "logical ID", one that remains stable under rebases and content rewrites, i.e. a unique identifier that allows you to identify a change anywhere in the commit graph. The commit hash is more like a "physical ID", because it is derived purely from the contents of the change. Version control systems like Jujutsu natively support the concept of a logical ID, which is called a "Change Id", and is exactly the same kind of ID used by Gerrit in its `Change-Id: ` footer.

There has been some discussion before on the Git development list about adding Change Ids directly to Git, which would solve a tremendous amount of these problems. You'd never need to have commit-msg hooks and forges could natively support Change IDs easily. I don't think this idea was ever shot down. As usual it's mostly a matter of "someone's gotta do it" and go hack on the big Git codebase. (I don't have a link right now, sorry.)

Gerrit is probably one of the two best code review tool/development flow I've ever used; though, I liked many of Phabricator's design and UX decisions a lot more, to be frank.

(Disclosure: I work on Jujutsu. Yadda yadda.)

> I wish I could do that, but then that would impact my "scoreboard" on the anti-phishing tool and they would yell at me or send me to remedial "training" too. They really like to see that useless button pressed that just patronizingly tells me "Yes, this was a training exercise".

It's actually even a worse than that for our anti-phishing tool, somehow Outlook's processing triggers the tool to think that I've interacted with the email, but after several rounds of "our tool says you clicked a link" and my reply of "I 100% didn't, let me see some logs", they now seem to ignore notifications of me clicking on phishing test links. So a win for me, I guess?
The NASA equivalent pays much less.

5.2M households is roughly 15M people. 3% of that is 450k users. While not huge on the scale of the global browser install base, that is still a pretty sizeable chunk of users that this might impact.

Also, I'm not in CA and I know of PG&E - in fact many USA residents probably do because they make the national news cycle quite a bit. No need for such a patronizing comment.
PINE (the mail client) had a ^J keyboard shortcut to justify the lines. It's been a long time since I used it, but I seem to recall that it would insert double space after period when you hit that key. It might even have been possible to set it up to auto justify on save/send. I suspect that's why a lot of old (plain text) email had the double space after period and perhaps still does in OSS circles.

I think the default vim justification worked that way too. Around this time I went through a phase of bloody-mindedly using Mail/mailx and vi on OpenBSD while still sending mail through my ISP's SMTP and using fetchmail to grab it through POP3. I would not at all be surprised if cypherpunk types were doing the same thing, even if their main desktop or laptop was Windows and they used single space after period for non-email communication.

Edit to add: I just looked up fmt(1) manpage[0] and it specifically mentions using it to format mails, and that the default is two space after period.

Well, a lot of other effective things were done as well as you say.

For me, comes down to that I disagree that the creator of one of the most consequential tech break through that hits at the core of national sovereignty and control didn’t think of a lot of angles to this.
