I’ll be honest I read their comment and thought “that sure sounds like ADHD to me”. But then again, it’s hard to say what you even do with a diagnosis, and I’m not sure I even recommend formalizing it.

For me, the stimulant prescription was a bad idea. Too much addictive/abuse potential. I know it’s not everyone’s experience, but to me it’s easier to just solve the day to day problems without labeling it as a disorder or bringing medication into the mix.
Isn't police the external control? It is just that governments have failed to provide enough of these controls... So maybe they should be punished collectively for it?

This might be good tech and a good company.

Once we used a distributed caching system in a startup which was open source. Then the open source version got cut features we needed, so we bought a license. Then the startup was bought up by a large software company and the license costs went 10x YoY with a one week notice. As our migration away from this tech was not done, because it was very complicated and tied into our application we had to pay. Luckily we also had been bought and the very large costs were not a problem. I would never again use something from a company that is crucial to our operations.

All version control tools have the same problem since AFAIK none of them care about the semantics of the program being version-controlled (except Unison).

For example, in file foo.js you export the function foo. Now, if you delete the function foo, while your colleague import it into bar.js, the resultant changes are consistent, but the program is now functionally broken.

I imagine for a lot of businesses, if they could do this with physical space, it would be huge for them.

The restaurant business is so low margin, most restaurants simply can't renovate -- even if you can afford the actual cost of renovation, unless you are already wildly successful you'll never make up the money lost for being closed for weeks, you have to fire and rehire your entire staff, and you'll piss off customers by being closed when they expect you to be open. It makes more sense to simply close the restaurant after a few years and open a new one.
> hold the complexity of rapid social change without freaking out

this kind of reminds me of the concept of a "social surplus" from a talk Clay Shirkey gave over a decade ago: https://gist.github.com/jm3/6724931

The gist being that for a long time television was basically a "buffer" that people would sink extra time into, and this absorbs what otherwise might be social angst (or productivity)

> If I had to pick the critical technology for the 20th century, the bit of social lubricant without which the wheels would've come off the whole enterprise, I'd say it was the sitcom. Starting with the Second World War a whole series of things happened--rising GDP per capita, rising educational attainment, rising life expectancy and, critically, a rising number of people who were working five-day work weeks. For the first time, society forced onto an enormous number of its citizens the requirement to manage something they had never had to manage before -- free time.

so extending this thought, teens have lost this "third place" where much of the time they were sinking time and energy... now we've got this pent up energy that has no where to go. It's no wonder why a lot of kids are producing content for youtube or tiktok... but this has a lot of problems as a replacement, it's essentially replacing socialization and idle time with something that looks more like a job.
I like how we're trying to make our way towards the food prep where it just makes whatever you're thinking. Before we get there, we have to get to the more mundane where it just cooks what you choose for you.

> Here's the chicken and egg problem again.

Back when git had their chicken-and-egg problem, there were hundreds if not thousands of FOSS project members independently starting threads on mailing lists about how and/or when to move to git. Many of them were already using the git web server thingy and manually syncing with svn or whatever.

Some contrarians aside, the general consensus at that time was, "Yes, that clearly does solve some real pains we currently experience on a regular basis (branching, local branching, renaming files, etc.), but how do we practically move to it?"

Practically moving to it required the infrastructure. So you had a classic chicken and egg problem, until whatever broke it (sourceforge adding git compatibility? github?).

With Pijul you have a small number of adherents who have trouble explaining the pains that Pijul addresses, much less how common those pains are in the average git project. So you haven't yet arrived at the question of how to switch to Pijul-- you're still at the question of why anyone should.

Put another way-- you don't have any potential chickens longing to be incubated in an integrated Pijul hub/CI environment. If one poofed into existence, it might hatch chickens. Then again, it might go relatively unused. So I don't have a chicken and egg problem here.

I second this request. Specifically, for a lot of applications, native-language "good enough" might not suffice (a dental office with English speaking employees and predominantly English speaking customers), but between a stilted conversation with a non-native speaker (broken English to English v. slightly incorrect native language to their native language), there might be more tolerance for some of the hiccups that AI has. As in, I might get more information in a poor conversation in a person's native language than us trying to communicate in their poor English.
With a little more tweaking and training, the voice AI will sound like her in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_(film).

"... Men and women's brains are connected in different ways which may explain why the sexes excel at certain tasks, say researchers. A US team at the University of Pennsylvania scanned the brains of nearly 1,000 men, women, boys and girls and found striking differences.

Male brains appeared to be wired front to back, with few connections bridging the two hemispheres. In females, the pathways criss-crossed between left and right. …"

Missing FAQ: Is the "j" in Pijul hard or soft?
This is a very thoughtful and well argued comment and really informative.

I commend you for taking the time and effort to write this so well, despite the original comment being somewhat snarky and clearly opinionated.

I'm personally a pacifist and would like to end all wars, all weapons production, etc, but we currently do not have a way to enforce that over the whole world.

So the realistic view is that given that currently we have wars, need weapons, etc - it does make sense that YC would fund companies that develop new ones or new technologies in the space. Even if nobody really wants to hurt people.
I tested matrix in 2021 and found the experience pretty darn awful outside the main client. And by a cursory glance the ecosystem is still pretty much controlled by the matrix.org folks. When I was using it there was a lot of accusations that Synapse did not follow the specification and that server implementera had to reverse engineer what Synapse did to be able to federate.

And talking about that: does federation work properly yet? I used a third party provider and it made my life miserable.

I am all for federation, but in my experience the "federated" part of matrix was a lot worse than the jabber one they want to replace.

Just a talking point - and the US has one of the most extensive criminal justice apparatuses of any country.

I’ve found that any ideas I have for projects to help with procrastination never get done. It’s the ultimate procrastination and there is no end to it. It doubly kills my motivation because now I have to be thinking how much more efficient I would be if I had my tools which I currently don’t have. So even if I eventually start working, now it feels even harder :D

I think there are a lot of rabbit holes like this in programming in general.

> However, channels are different from Git branches, and do not serve the same purpose. In Pijul, independent changes commute, which means that in many cases where branches are used in Git, there is no need to create a channel in Pijul.

I've never understood this. AFAIK, the only use case I've ever seen for git branches is "I have some code, but don't want it going live yet". Maybe it's a WIP demo, maybe you want someone else's eyes on it, maybe you just want to back your current state up on a remote server because your laptop is going to explode.

Am I misunderstanding, and Pijul manages that without channels? Or is there a common case git branches are used that I missed?
It's just pronounced "j". as the "g" in gif.
Idk, this article seems like it's from the perspective of someone either entirely removed from subculture, or like, just failed to think clearly about the intersection of online spaces and identity.

The main point of the article seems to argue that lacking some cohesive "box" is making it harder for kids to find a community. And even if this _may_ have been a thing before (idk, maybe it was invented by John Hughes movies, it's before my time wtv), I feel like the argument is just pretty weak. It privileges clique-identity over a more diverse, less monolithic identification, and it assumes that community can only found w/in these cliques.

I'm also not sure why the author spends so much time centering on aesthetics as if that's the be-all and end-all of internet culture, and its fragmentation being that which is preventing self-identity. The lack of physical third spaces is indeed a problem, but the kids are still having fun lmfao. The internet has just exposed people to so many more interesting things.

IMO this article in general has a much better understanding and take on the internet as it relates to a older idea of subculture: https://www.documentjournal.com/2021/01/the-internet-didnt-k...

There’s an entire occupation of “influencer” that basically exists for GenZ and younger.

Generally not in the US.

When you make an offer to buy a home, there will be a section that lists the furnishings/appliances/things-not-nailed-down that are included in your offer. Your real estate agent is going to check the boxes for appliances without even asking you. You could tell the agent not to do that, and the seller could say no. But that would be unusual.
Can you give some examples? Are you just talking about GPUs? Those are only for massively parallel workloads. You need a CPU for literally everything else. Not familiar with flexible fabrics, so maybe I'm missing something there.
yes - it was easier to create themes in impressionable folk (mods, rockers, punks, hippies, etc) - artificial creations that somewhat assuaged a feeling and sell a lot of product.
This is already mentioned in the other comments, as the latitudinal correction to longitudinal dimension [i.e. use cos(latitude) as a scale for EW distances].

I call this the tangent-plane projection (which hints at your picture), where distances can be simply calculated by 2D Pythagoras in the EW-scaled coordinates. I recently discovered it is more often known as Equirectangular Projection:

Update - I just watched it through and it's actually pretty interesting. A bit on the history, then how the tech works, then on the geopolitics of not supplying China with EUV and the like. Interviews the CEO and the Chip Wars guy.

The tech's quite cool in the latest one with 13nm UV. It's absorbed by all known substances so has to operate in a vacuum and the light is produced by them squirting liquid tin at 4000 psi and then zapping the droplets with a 30 KW laser. The machine takes three fully loaded 747s to ship.

I think this stuff may be a bit of a bottle neck with Sam Altman's proposal to invest $7tr in chip making - they are the only people making the state of the art machines and are pretty much flat out already.

Just tried the dental appointment example. Voice sounds great! But I found two issues with sharing:
- I told it I wasn't available until next year. We confirmed a date. It said Feb 4th, next year. I asked it when next year was and it gave me the definition. On further prying, it told me the current year was 2022, so next year was 2023. For a scheduling use case, it should be date/availability/time zone aware.
- At the end, it got into a loop saying "I apologize for the confusion. Let me double check your records...". After staying silent, it said "it looks like we've been disconnected". I said "no, I was waiting for you to check my records". The loop repeated. I eventually asked how long it would take to check my records and it told me "a few minutes" but still went through the "disconnected" message.
Yes. That’s why I listed it first as a separate category – it’s easy to see a stolen car as a loss of, say, $20-30k for the private insurance company and owner but there’s also going to be a cost for the time the police spend investigating, the city might spend disposing of a wrecked vehicle, the courts spend processing a car thief, etc. and potentially other significant costs if, say, a Kia challenge teenager hits another person or the vehicle is used to rob a house or business. While we can’t prevent it in absolute terms, there is still a significant social benefit to reducing car theft rates.
