> your good ideas are exactly what the company is paying you for.

Yes, in a limited domain, this is true. However, my employer does not own my brain. Any idea I have that isn't directly related to whatever projects my employer is paying me to be part of are mine, not my employer's. Particularly if they are potentially valuable.

Why would they tell the date after placing? Every online shopping I ever used shows the shipping date together with shipping price and shipping options if there are any.
Genuine question, I have no opinion on this:

My understanding is that a big part of the reason that Git is snapshot based is for reliability and for ease of checkout -- being snapshot based means Git doesn't need to replay commits every time you check things out.

That likely comes with some downsides (cherry-picking does come to mind, yes), but also seems like some serious upsides, one of the biggest one being that simplicity. It's relatively easy for me to reason about what Git is doing under the hood. I like that I'm seeing that Pijul's patch operations are associative, I like at first glance what I'm seeing it say about merges, but it's not making it clear to me what the downsides are.

Is the idea that arbitrary checkouts take longer, but that's generally fine since people don't do them very often? Or am I over-estimating how much complexity/performance costs that building a vcs like this would incur?
> For both of your cases, the "25 to 30 minutes task" trick won't work at all. For a case that persists for years, what I've learned is that it's either real ADHD, or some emotional problem around the topic. For me, it was 100% an emotional problem, though I do have a bit of a scattered mind, but I can focus it, whereas I've seen people with serious ADHD who can't do it at all and need meds (among other things).

I'm not so sure about that. Mind you, I had already been thinking that putting some effort in limited amount of time instead of doing nothing at all before reading the article, so if anything the latter gave me some more confidence that it's actually a solution that at least worked for someone

> But the latter type (the ones who're stuck in the cycle) need to let something go rather than accumulate new things (in this case, tips and tricks about Getting Things Done).
On that front, I thing you're perfectly right.

> There's the DIY path (hard, involves journaling, introspection, noticing and categorizing your emotions, reading Jung, reading ancient texts like the Bhagavad Gita) and the psychologist path (you need to find a good paychologist who doesn't just ask "and what do you feel about it?" over and over but actually takes an active role in your situation and your circumstances)

Admittedly I don't feel 100% sure that what you just wrote doesn't apply to me, so would you mind expanding a bit more on the details?
Why would procrastination in a case like mine be linked to emotional issue? Actually even better, was it that for you? In which way did this link exist, and how did you find out? How did you managed to solve it, if you solved it at all?

Thanks for replying
There is a paper linked on the article which says potential causes for the dust distribution are Kuiper belt object collisions and radiation pressure (I'm assuming from the sun?) pushing dust outward

> New data (Figure 3) at larger heliocentric distances show that the SDC-reported dust f l uxes, out to 55 au, remained higher than current models expected. Each of the three physical phenomena: optical properties and radiation pressure (Arnold et al. 2019); compositional variation between silicates and ice (Grigorieva et al. 2007); and a further reaching than currently identif i ed distribution of dust-producing bodies in the solar system (Fraser et al. 2023), may contribute to the data/model deviation.

Obviously, this is the answer. Make the manufacturers simply recall their cars and fix this easy exploit.

However it won't happen because politicians are in the pocket of big industry, and also banning a flipper zero makes them look good with almost no political capital expended (a quick win).

Well summarized. Anti-competition has become the new standard operating model.
To reiterate what you just wrote in the second paragraph: Punishment ruins lives, so people vote against ruining each other's lives, so a group of people (who are but you did not refer to as fascists) who are disappointed with the amount of lives not being ruined will increase the level of punishment even further to maintain or exceed life-ruining equilibrium?

It may be true or false, that I don't know, but the blame for it should lie squarely on the people who seek to increase life-ruining instead of the people who seek to decrease it.
This book is perhaps most valuable as an example of why you need an editor.

So... the problem isn't that Google search isn't good but that (1) the ads sold are many and to some people who are scammers, and (2) enough of how the search engine algorithm works has become common knowledge and exploited by SEO experts seeking to inflate the relevance of sites by using what they know of how Google ranks search results.

But for this to become a problem Google first had to come up with a system better than everyone else's.

Sounds like a classic dilemma to me.
It's not that I wish I was there to prevent past mistakes. I just wish I could be allowed to fix the mistakes I see with the power of hindsight.

But there's worse: most of the time they already know. The various issues I balk at were often bothering them for years, and yet fixing it was never the priority. Week after month, there always was something more pressing, generally about some deadline. Such issues often have gone long enough that the cost of keeping the current cruft have long exceeded the cost of replacing it. But this cost is gradual, so the fix keeps getting pushed further and further into the end of times.

Perhaps my biggest mistake is not seeing that such organisations are beyond helping. I keep getting fooled by promises of doing things right going forward, when I should instead extrapolate the past. Either they're already work in ways that I can approve, or at least live with, or I should seek something else on the spot.
Now this is something I could get behind a subscription for.
Not really. The real innovation of a lot of these alternative DVCS systems is that they free the state of the source from being dependent on the history that got you there. Such that applying patches A & B in that order is the same as applying B' & A' -- it results in the same tree. Git, on the other hand, hashes the actual list of changes to the state identifier, which is why rebasing results in a different git hash id.

So long as you require git compatibility, you're kinda stuck with git's view of what history looks like. Which is rather the point.

If I were the agent who made that promise what would they do to me? Fire me - then fire the chatbot. Put me through training - then train the chatbot. Stand behind me and do what I say - then stand behind their chatbot.

I bet they already have policies in place for this - while how they apply to AI may be different, they shouldn't let this slide.

If there was a spree of that happening, you can bet your next paycheck there would be laws about it. Laws aren’t about a philosophical distinction between flipper zeros and tow trucks, they’re practical tools for law enforcement.

This line of argument is crazy and infuriating. "Air Canada essentially argued, 'the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions,' a court order said." Do they expect people to sue the chatbot? Are they also implying that people have to sue individual agents if they cause a problem?

On Moving Out
I feel I'm missing something; for a version control system, you'd think managing different versions would be kinda central but in pijul that seems more like an afterthought. If I'm reading correctly you could use 'channels' same way as you use git tags, but that doesn't seem to be happening in practice.

For example I look at 'sanakirja' project. The current version is 1.4.1 and the previous version was 1.4.0, and the version before that was 1.3.3:

https://crates.io/crates/sanakirja/versions

but if I look at the repository, there is no way to see any of that?

https://nest.pijul.com/pijul/sanakirja

There is "Tags" tab which is empty, and channel selection drop-down that has only "main" channel. So if I want to browse code at version 1.3.3, or see the difference between 1.3.3 and 1.4.0, or even just see what versions there are, how would I do that? To me those seem like very elementary questions, and yet reading through the manual I can find no hints toward this direction.

There is a FAQ entry that seems relevant:

> Is it possible to refer to a specific version?

> Excellent question. Since Pijul operates on patches rather than snapshots, versions are essentially unordered sets of patches. How do we communicate a specific version number to one another? We solve this by abusing elliptic curve cryptography primitives.

But its not clear at all how those "version identifiers" can be used or indeed if they are even implemented at all yet? At least based on the manual, no commands seem to take "version identifier" as argument, nor can I see them anywhere in Nest web UI.
>> I suppose the youth writing about 50-year olds is going to be just as fraught with incorrectness

I wonder if New Kind of Science will end up like Godel, Escher, Bach ended up after release of GPT4[0]. It will be interesting to see what concept/formalization(?) will basically invalidate 50% of the research made by Wolfram.

I'll spare myself commenting on Wolfram, it's enough to do Ctrl+F on "arrogant" in this topic. Frankly, I don't even care. It's just that New Kind of Science didn't meaningfully advance anywhere beyond being "an interesting concept" for all of his natural life.

Google "too good to be true contract law" and there's some info, seems the answer is "no".
We don't necessarily need yet another pile of laws and regulations here. If consumers want secure vehicles they should prioritize buying vehicles that don't offer internet icon necked features.

Its crazy that most consumers prioritize convenience and novelty above all else then turn around and demand even more government authority to protect them from features that aren't needed in the first place.

I 100% agree with the author's argument that banning security research is a bad idea, but no matter how much research is done we can never guarantee consumers that their vehicle can't be taken over. If you can unlock and start your car from your phone there is always a possibility of attack. Period.
People try it to see if they can trust it. The answer is "no" for sure, but it's not surprising to see it happen repeatedly especially as vendors release so-called improved models.
The problem cannot be corrected by locking them in a room until they're 25, then releasing them.

There's no reason you can't cache tree snapshots in a pijul/darcs setting. That's just an implementation detail. The difference is more in how a rebase or merge operation works internally, and how essential the particular history is to the current workplace state.

Pijul does a better job of recognizing that "A -> B -> C" is the same as "B' -> A' -> C".

I don’t know anything about Remix but I was around when React Router was first launched. I remember strongly disliking the API and concluding that it got popular not because of any particular quality, but because its name was exactly what everybody typed into Google. That’s a nasty thing to say, but bear with me. Thing is, today, doesn’t suck at all!

I suspect the original author might’ve very much learned how to do API design on the fly when those first major versions of RR were shipped. Ie: the hard way, because every change they made caused a lot of complaining (for good reason maybe, but still! People complaining about your open source project is not fun)

So maybe if anyone has a nuanced and wise view of API design and versioning, it’s the RR people :-)
There are four ways to rotate, so yes exactly two bits, right?
It didn't cost hundreds if billions to build EUV.

Japan could do it too (GigaPhoton had viable light source, but no customer).

Even if they were only 10% as efficient in R&D, it's peanuts to Chinese government.

EUV is being talked as some super mega project, but this is basically peanuts. Roughly 80 F-35. Even if rhey are far less efficient i wouldn't count on it for long.

It doesn't matter if they are necessary or not, they are there in the framework.

That's.... it? You call that "leans heavily into Web APIs"? Have you ever thought of what backend services do all day everyday? These are not "web apis". These are wrappers over HTTP.
I also saw someone prompt it for "German couple in the 1800s" and, while I'm not trying to paint Germany as ethnically homogenous, 3 out of the 4 images only included Black, Asian or Indigenous people. Which, especially for the 19th century with very few travel options, seems like a super weird choice. They are definitely heavily altering prompts.

I started with Rails in 05, prior to the 1.0 release.

It was a whole new world for me. I had done BASIC, HyperCard, and C up to that point, and the whole idea of a web framework opened up my eyes. JavaScript, with prototype.js, was fascinating.

We didn’t even have database migrations yet, you just wrote your schema as a SQL file.

I moved to Sinatra a few years later, because at the time the “rails way” was really slow for a lot of things. I still use Sinatra to this day. Ruby is by far my favorite language, and sometimes I think it might be a time to get back into rails and see how far things have come.
Well 80:20 and 5:1 are pretty similar ratios.

Though really the issue with the comparison is that it implies that 80% (or ~83.3%) of the <something> is correlated to the light matter, and the other 20% (or ~16.7%) of the <something> is correlated to the dark matter. Maybe eventually we'll learn enough about dark matter and discover that, yeah actually, 1/6 of the life, or unobtanium, or whatever, is actually in the dark matter. But for now, I agree that the Pareto principle seems pretty irrelevant.

There was an interesting discussion two years ago regarding nonobvious issues with PEGs:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30414683

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30414879

I spent a year or two working with PEGs, and ran into similar issues multiple times. Adding a new production could totally screw up seemingly unrelated parses that worked fine before.

As the author points out, Earley parsing with some disambiguation rules (production precedence, etc.) has been much less finicky/annoying to work with. It's also reasonably fast for small parses even with a dumb implementation. Would suggest for prototyping/settings when runtime ambiguity is not a showstopper, despite the remaining issues described in the article re: having a separate lexer.
