Decent article. I owned a 5-channel teleprinter for a while in my youth (they were junk at the time, while a real ASR-33 would be worth something). I had to generate baudot code by bit-banging an I/O pin in software because the UARTs even then didn't support 5-bit characters. It smelled of oil. No electronics, only lots of mechanical gubbins and a couple of electromagnets. The key point of the article is that teleprinters pre-date computers by decades; when people built the first computers they stole a teleprinter from down the hall to interact with it; then teleprinters further evolved to meet the computer use-case (transition from baudot to ASCII).
Was it poorly written? It was clear enough for you and many other people to write simulations, to do mathematical analysis, etc.
Or could it be the case that some very accessible true facts in probability are counter-intuitive, but even after we're convinced that we were mistaken in our intuition, people will prefer to blame the problem?

Note, I think people sharing this kind of thing _do_ tend to be smug, but of course if the first time they heard it they were also confused, they have no reason to be smug.

Norway actually has a national standard called SAF-T

Don’t forget this awesome quote: “However, a recent paper (Samsel & Seneff, 2013), argued that glyphosate may be a key contributor to the obesity epidemic and the autism epidemic in the United States, as well as to several other diseases and conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, infertility, depression, and cancer.”

It’s causing all the bad things? That would be amazing if true, unfortunately it sounds unlikely (chiropractic comes to mind) and the rest of the science world doesn’t believe these authors.

My guess is that to “localize” a street is to use it as a street - primarily for interacting with the storefronts, offices or residences along it. To make it “express” is to use it as a road - primarily for transit.

This response is totally unrelated to my post however it does bring up a good point. There is this narrative where we are all victims of the elites and everything bad is because of the elites and so on and so forth.

Amazon's jungle convinced me there's two valid solutions to string naming.

1: Trying to design and impose an ontology, echo that in naming, and then keep it coherent in perpetuity.

2: Accept that definition cannot be solved at the naming level, expect people to read the docs to dereference names, and name it whatever the hell you want.

Honestly, as long as they don't suddenly repurpose names, I have no problem with either approach. They both have their pros and cons.

PS: And jungle does have the benefit of keeping developers from making assumptions about stringN+1 in the future...

Sure that helps with the consumer market, but most people will use AI integrated into other products and not directly.

Those integrated AI solutions will usually be done via enterprise deals where brand name is not quite as important. It will be done by people who care about cost, reliability and ease of use.

Think of nginx's dominance in web servers even though it has no name recognition among the general population. Or Stripe's payment system.
I'm curious how you would define "polish" here: do you mean spending time on fixing current features as opposed to adding new ones? If so, I can see the argument there: a lot of software tends to prioritize new features over long-term stability.

I know very little about our old car and cars in general. When there is a issue I just call my Subaru guy and so far $150 or less fixed every issue we had.

However those things sure sound impressive, but it doesn't sound it's worth a $50k price tag and the most impressive point only applies to one brand. Also reverse cam, magic keys, LED front lights are all cheap upgrades I can easily do myself.
> "Moral responsibility" is a non-sequitur. The discussion is whether UNRWA perpetuates the problem it purports to solve.

This is incorrect. To determine whether an organization is perpetuating the problem it is trying to solve, one has to assign blame for that problem being perpetuated. Also known as moral responsibility. Just because a problem is being perpetuated, and some organization is trying to solve it, doesn't mean the problem is being perpetuated by the organization trying to solve it.

This is the fundamental logical mistake people are making why they try to claim that UNRWA is the one perpetuating the situation.

> You seem each time to reject the evidence because you find the premise itself incredible. It is indeed a bitter pill to swallow, that one of the bulwarks of civilization such as the Union of Nations would be so corrupt, but the evidence is clear.

Please stop trying to make these assumptions about me. And this conversation has nothing to do with whether the UNRWA is corrupt or how much. It is solely about whether it is an example of "Shirky's law".

> Well, see, you are taking sides in this conflict.

Please stop reading things I didn't say into things I actually did say. You took a totally generic sentence of mine, that I intentionally made generic, and are then somehow accusing me of taking sides. I don't know how to be clearer that I am not.

I am saying that UNRWA is not an example of Shirky's law. You're bringing all sorts of claims about the UNRWA that may be interesting in other conversations, but are irrelevant here.

And it's funny how nobody seems to want to answer my question of why, if they think UNRWA is perpetuating the conflict, the Red Cross isn't similarly perpetuating every conflict it provides services in. Because of course it's not. And logical consistency would require one to admit that therefore UNRWA isn't either.

I have an "encyclopedia of cybernetics" for kids books from the 1960s-1970s. Among other things it has two chapters on artificial intelligence (mentioning neural networks), and another on Moore's Law, trying to extrapolate computing power up to IIRC our time. IIRC their predictions/speculations turned to be pretty accurate, except for the photonic and DNA-based computers...

Au contraire, I think in the eyes of beige khaki corpo bureaucrats this gives Mixtral legitimacy and puts it on par with OpenAI offerings. MS putting their Azure stamp on this means it's Safe and Secure (tm).

It makes even more sense from MS perspective -- now they can offer two competing models on their own infra, becoming the defacto shop for large corporate LLM clients.

I recently switched from MacPorts to Homebrew & from previous trials of Nix, MacPorts support is well ahead of Nix.

I used MacPorts for many years without many issues - only recently just started to get a little too frustrated with some new utils that were Homebrew-only & finally capitulated. So you can get very far with MacPorts (& it's a far better system than brew).

Be great to see something gain traction over Homebrew but I have a feeling many devs out there will only ever bother publishing on a single distribution platform for MacOS (whatever happens to be most popular).

While i agree in broad strokes, this isn't exactly related to upping revenue per employee.

This sounds like a mis-tiering of an upper market or strategic account by an account team.

That said, Margins and RPE are critical now.

A lot of this is also because there are too many damn SaaSes now, and enterprise products bill monthly now as well.

In 2013 the average was 8 SaaS products per company and in 2023 around 80 (I can't remember the blog link I got this from but it was a fellow VC or CRO who pointed this out).

There isn't as much money floating around anymore as everyone is at their limit, and it's getting ridiculous to spend a couple hundred thousand on some random SaaS that's unneccesary.
Image export before Altair 5 was a bit complicated because it required either selenium plus a system web browser, or a node.js installation. In Altair 5, we switched to using vl-convert for image export, which is just a regular Python wheel with no external dependencies. So now, `chart.save("file.png")` should be just as easy to use as matplotlib's savefig!

>his family are waiting on the results of a toxicology report.

I'm finding this hard to process. What this journalist appears to be saying is that he's about to write an article about the dangers of fentanyl laced drugs. And the way he's going to do that is by telling us about a recent death that by his own admission is yet to have anything to do with fentanyl?

>He was poisoned.

That's a hell of a sentence to put in it's own paragraph when the conditional it's predicated on is burried in the previous paragraph.

It just seems such a poor way of writing about presumably is actually a real issue. It's such a frustrating article, it tells a story of a girl who was meant to be taking adderall, but died of a fentanyl overdose. I wish they actually explored that - why would someone take fentanyl in the place of adderall?

>As part of the organization I launched last year, Not Even Once

Oh right. It's not a journalist at all. This isn't reporting, it's an activist pushing an agenda with dodgy misleading facts. It's pretty egregious this site hasn't made it clear this is just an opinion piece from a campaigner.

Unless your market is direct to end user, end user brand name recognition doesn't matter. In the case of AI, at least so far, the primarily income won't be from end-users directly, but rather via enterprise integrations into existing tools that already have end user market share (e.g. Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows, VS Code, Notion, etc.)
I was expecting more discussion on this.

The closest thing to info on this I've seen is statcounter's Desktop OS share. According to that Windows has actually lost 15-20% marketshare in the last 10 years. It doesn't look like linux is stealing it though, OSX and "unknown" seem to be the biggest hitters. For all I know unknown is still Windows!
That is kind of my point, though: don't read it if you're worried about "boring" digressions. You won't like it. Read it when you have enough time to slowly appreciate every chapter. You have to completely silence the part of your mind that wants action and progression of the storyline.

VA: This lack of effective leadership from the public sector comes up over and over again in your discussions of American transit, both internally and in their relationships with other actors. They struggle at cooperating with other agencies — with the Department of Transportation, with the Department of Environmental Protection, with parks, with buildings, with the fire department. And they’re also quite inefficient at managing consultants because they don’t have enough technical in-house knowledge to really understand how to.

AL: Exactly. So then they’ll hire a consultant to manage the consultants — it’s the most ridiculous thing.
I know this is going to sound stupid but I bought my Subaru at 200k kilometers. Thing is, everything that breaks in these cars was recently replaced. All the other repairs are usually below $100. What would those 200k even matter? Even more that it was so cheap I could buy a new one whenever I want.
There are some places that are much better about this than others. I remember in Europe several of the restaurants had _books_ containing all the potential ingredients and cross-allergens for each dish. I distinctly remember Wagamama's in London pulling one out and double-checking it due to my spouse's eggplant allergy. Sadly it removed most of the menu that we were excited to eat, but it was damn impressive.
Americans need a fucking muzzle.

If you fucking say so, I guess. But in no way do the operations detailed in the article amount to "complicity in starting this conflict".

There seems to be quite a gap in the market for a Gallery application for Android (and iOS?) which supports self-hosted remote galleries.
For quite a while I'm also in search for a solution which allows me to share galleries with my family, without having to ask them to jump through hoops in order to access them.

After some searching I'm now testing photoprism [1] which is a fantastic application, especially for self-hosting of photos. There's no mobile app for it (yet) and user-management is just starting to get implemented, but it shows alot of promise. Unfortunately not yet enough for putting it on the tablet of my granny but one can hope (and donate!)

As of today, I couldn't even find a good Android Gallery app which allows hassle-free browsing of a network drive (hassle-free as in "comparable to Google/Apple Photos"

Either way, I'm afraid that building a good mobile gallery app is an equally large task, after all the best solution would be to replace the users' native gallery-app with an equivalent that also supports custom Online-Galleries...

The change in endpoint name is a strong suggestion that there will be few if any open models going forwards from mistral. It’s a clear move towards the default being closed. Disappointing but I guess unsurprising.

Why not using keyboard controls for web pages in general? I tried multiple solutions for browsing the web and using vim binding to do so over the years. Some of them for extended periods of time, including Tridactyl, Vimium and others. My favorite by far is Qutebrowser because of its default commands and integration of them, for example moving between tabs, editing or copying URLs or configuration is pretty easy.
