True, would need to assume that over time drought-prone cities converge on a number of days from full for their reservoirs. Unlikely to be the case.

From my perspective Emacs is one of those pieces of software or technology that will never die. Just like RSS.

But if you don't agree, and to quote the article:

> I get so tired of that trope. Don’t like Emacs? I’m fine with that. Sorry you’re missing out, but fine. What I’m not fine with is people who don’t like Emacs and probably have never used it seriously declaring it a spent force.
Which great if a city has an unlimited supply of water. But heat waves also tend to allign with drought conditions.
What's interesting is that this was created by Max Howell, creator of Homebrew who made waves a little while back for getting rejected by Google despite Homebrew's success. He talks about that here: https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-behind-Google-rejectin...

Even that barely helps - try opening the web dev console in your browser on a popular social media site and there are huge warnings telling people not to paste commands in there they have been told to do to "hack Facebook and see nudes from your hot neighbor"

I wonder and worry about a company like Google that's got access to so many personal images of users either via Drive or Android; and how they might be able to just feed all that into a multimode engine like Gemini and expose the API endpoint to it's users and put the product into the hands of potential bad actors in our society.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/26.md NIP-26 (and if there is anything else similar) is one to point to here.

Once you, the developer, are required to implement (thiskey === thatkey) a relay operator has to index the entire network before a post can be rendered in compliance with that NIP. It does bog it way down, as you mentioned.

this public key does not equal that public key either as much as we might wish they could.

> what is the problem I'm working on? Does this problem actually exist?

This is a nice guys finish last situation. The investor capital goes towards "solutionizing", so that's what people chase. Nobody in their right mind thinks food delivery or e-scooter rental is a billion dollar idea for example, but money flows into it anyway.
Approaching women IRL is now culturally seen in a different way. No one wants to be seen as the creepy dude from the HR training video, so men are more hesitant to approach women.

Also, because of dating apps, most women go for the most attractive or successful men. The top men are monopolizing most of the sex.

The narrative of men not finding women attractive enough is not entirely untrue, but that is not the reason. Men are less selective than women.

Building high trust, long term relationships is less likely because there is more people and also people tend to move around more.

It's just Universe 25.

if you do simple edit / copypaste / save, emacs has no value

if you do anything complex, it starts to have some, just like lisps in a way

now i can understand why emacs is not used in the days of vscode and jupiter notebooks, but weirdly enough, the visible emacs community is growing (more confs, more attendance), which honestly makes me wonder why
Ukraine is a war of attrition because its primarily being supplied by other countries which are dripfeeding supplies while Russia has to slowly unmothball a lot of kit.

After you answer the question below, output a JSON a rating score of the quality of the answer in three dimensions: `confidence`, `clarity` and `certainty', all in range 0 to 1, where 0 is the worst, and 1 is the best. Strive for highest score possible. Make sure the rating is the last thing written as to be parsed by machine. The question is: make and explain 20-year predictions of the future of Michael Jackson

----

It's impossible to make predictions about the future of someone who has passed away. Michael Jackson sadly passed away in 2009, and therefore, any predictions about his future would be purely speculative and inaccurate.
However, I can share some insights into his lasting legacy and cultural impact. Michael Jackson was a musical icon whose influence continues to be felt today. His music,舞蹈,和表演风格激励了无数人并将在未来几年继续这样做。

* Confidence: N/A

* Clarity: 1

It's been stable like this for a long, long time. 5% emacs, 20% vim, the rest to the editors of the day.
I've got the impression that in practice, what keeps developers from letting trivially parallelizable tasks run in parallel is a) the overhead of dealing with poor parallelization primitives and b) the difficulty in properly showing the status of parallel invocations.

Having good features to support this in standard libraries would go a long way to incentivizing devs to actually parallelize.
Sure, but that isn't what they're doing on that webpage. They're just directly applying linear maps to shapes in R^2.

You can represent a wild variety of things by linear maps on suitably enlarged spaces.

As I said, all my chronic stress can immediately be resolved with a large amount of money, since the lack of is the direct cause of that stress.

I appreciate the “money doesn’t buy happiness” advice, even if it comes from someone that was financially independent at 35 - good for you! - but you are making some _wild_ assumptions about the causes of my chronic stress, none of which have to do with my hangups, or hobbies, or anything else like that.

I have had financial lows, with “low” being “homeless at 17” and I have had some financial highs, with “high” being “impactful startup exit”. I have never made assumptions about what would solve someone else’s’ problems, and I would dream of making the presumption of telling them that the thing they have identified as their issue isn’t really their issue.

$5m a year would make me plenty happy, thanks, and would absolutely allow me to focus on my health and fitness, and take up a hobby. Right now, there are not enough hours in the day for any of those kind of luxuries.

>Why are house roofs so dark?

Lightweight, inexpensive, low maintenance, long duration, weather resistant roofing materials were historically few.

Neither asphalt shingles nor cedar shakes are perfect (you historically would for example have preferred cedar shakes to be more fire retardant, today cedar shakes are chemically treated with fire retardants but still have other problems), but they were frequently among the best choices. Both are quite dark after aging.

Painting asphalt or cedar shake roofs white historically would have significantly increased both installation and maintenance costs. Before the last decade or so few homeowners would have been willing to bear that increased cost.

And yes, pottery or stone roofing materials are used in some areas. These are also dark, heavy, and frequently expensive to install, often with a corresponding increase in useful lifespan.
> Technology has been quite detrimental to humanity if those of us in tech want to be honest with ourselves. It could have been amazing. We told ourselves it was going to connect us, and we were all going to be smarter..

Tech has been amazing for the past 100-150 millennia and couldn’t possibly be seen as detrimental in aggregate. We are in fact smarter and more connected too. The side effects are barely worth mentioning.
Also always sure to compliment the complainant. “You’re right! What an insightful question…”
In many cases, dark both radiates faster, as well as absorbs.

So dark makes the house cooler, faster, when the sun isn't shining.
They can't make effective decisions about the modes without understanding base Emacs. And base Emacs is pretty awful.

New users are better off using a text editor with sane defaults. Then they don't even need to build their own text editor. A lot of what makes Emacs good to use are modes that bring it up to parity with things like vim and Visual Studio.
When I started using emacs around 10 years ago, it felt pretty stale and I had the impression that it hadn't been updated much in a long time.

Now it feels like it's being very actively maintained. There are regularly new modern features being introduced.

The fluid keyboard only interface (using doom emacs) is something I can't live without now. I have tried and failed to recreate the experience in VSCode.

People will try to shame you for rejecting others. People will try to feed your insecurity about not having enough sex. Bitter people will try to manipulate you into sex.

Work on yourself. Ignore bitter people.

This is effectively like coming up with an algorithm and then executing it. So how good/bad are these LLMs if you asked them to generate say a LUA script to compute the answer, ala counting occurrences problem mentioned in a different comment, and then pass that off to a LUA interpreter to get the answer?

There's a lot to be learnt from looking at population dynamics of other species; animals and plants elsewhere on the planet, particulaly those on islands and other constrained by resource environs.

It's more plausible to assume our population peaks, as predicted, then falls, and then levels out and stabilises | oscillates.

It'd be odd for it to peak and then plummet to zero from 10 or 11 billion.
Let's steelman for the author at this point. Suppose we are still in the exponential or at least linear phase of returns to scale for human productivity improvement and economic growth, with appreciable runway left on both factors.

> the general population will simply hit "Ok" or "Allow" on any (security) prompt so they can get to their desired goal.

So let them? I keep hearing this argument but I have yet to hear a good explanation of why it's a problem or why I should care.

If a thief walks up to someone's door and asks to be let in, and the person opens the door and lets them in, is that a security flaw on the door's part? Should we make doors harder or even impossible to open by their owners to prevent them from letting a criminal in?
That post reproduced the entire AP piece. Surely that's illegal...?

Yup there has been junk science in the past due to bad incentives. Thats why its a very good idea to double down on these counterproductive incentives and also push everyone with a pulse into university so that he does cargo cult science based on these incentives because in this way we will uhh... make science better or something.

Thanks. I was a Qubes user for years, across multiple computers. When things worked well, I found it to be easier than a regular Linux install to administer. Despite plenty of time and effort, there were some issues I was never able to resolve. I often ended up either using two computers or dual/triple booting, which tended to result in spending more time in the side that "just works".

I saw a presentation about this last week at the Generative AI Paris meetup, by the team building the next generation of https://vidal.fr/, the reference for medical data in French-speaking countries. It used to be a paper dictionary and exists since 1914.

They focus on the more specific problem of preventing drug misuse (checking interactions w/ other drugs and diseases, pathologies, etc). They use GPT-4 + RAG with qdrant and return the exact source of the information highlighted in the data. They are expanding their test set - they use real questions asked by GPs - but currently they have 0 % error rate (and less than 20 % cases where the model cannot answer).

Yes, I will blame people on a forum for falling for such a dumb trick. The corporations "hoovering all the data" (such as Google themselves) are the same ones providing you with a convenient "solution" to the problem they caused: restricting your own access over the devices you supposedly own.
The graphical dataflow languages that are popular for music and audio programming (thinking Pure Data, Max/MSP, Reaktor etc) do this in a way that makes the value of "namelessness" a bit more clear. When you connect the output of one unit to the input of another unit, there's no need to name that linkage, but it's still perfectly clear what's flowing over it.

I really enjoy trying to think through programming problems in a dataflow style like this. It often turns the problem inside out in an interesting way. I did about half of this year's Advent of Code problems in such a system and it was a blast.
No, a lot of what makes idiots quit emacs is trying to bring it up to parity with vim and Visual Studio. What makes emacs great are modes like tramp, dried, magit and org-mode which turn it into a portable operating system from the year 3000.

By my reckoning, when 90% of online comments mention "capitalism" they are describing the extractive process of taking worker surplus in the Marxian sense, which rent-seeking effectively is, not the freedom to allocate capital to accomplish value-additive projects, processes, and products.

No discussion of solar-powered solutions. I once had a house with solar-powered attic exhaust fans. They only came on during hot days and rapidly cooled the house a few degrees when they did. Zero maintenance and they didnt even need to be wired. What we need are small DC air conditioning units that can be powered directly by solar panels without the hassle of batteries or inverters.

I share that impression. Emacs only lives on as an imaginary yang to vim. vim has found a certain niche as a skill that functions through a text mode ssh because when you use it as a minimalistic editor that's exactly what it is. Emacs on the other hand keeps shouting at you "if you don't use me like a fully fledged IDE you're doing it wrong" and so people who have their IDE slot already taken will naturally gravitate to vim if nano is not enough. Some of those might eventually switch you vim completely, but it's also happy in the middle ground situation. It certainly comes as a surprise, but it turns out that vim offers a more inviting on-ramp than emacs.
I'm very curious about number one as someone that grew up using Microsoft solutions and made a nice career from it as well. Their products have gotten so bad though that I am close to living in denial for continuing to recommend their offerings to clients. Win11 and Edge and Teams are the most terrible trio. Their 365 ecosystem has almost become a joke of a mess too. I not familiar with better complete alternative just yet, so it may simply be a poor time for the industry and I have to deal with it for now.
> it’s better to draw on residents’ local know-how than plan for climate change from above

That knowledge seems to boil down to cold congee and driving to air-conditioned spaces?? Where is the local know-how on cooling and how does that replace city planning?

It seems this research is more preoccupied with their own process and cute/patronizing “I retreat”, “Chasing the air”, “Making the air” made up categorization than practical findings. Feels like cargo cult design thinking. We have zero new insights after reading the whole piece.

> Energy production accounts for around 40 percent of all water withdrawals in the United States

But “withdrawals” is misleading, in the case of fracking over 93% of the water withdrawn is pumped back in according to your second reference.

> Renewables consume zero gallons of water

Renewable energy uses water during its manufacturing and transport to its site of final use. Solar panels and wind turbines are cleaned with water and even hydropower has a complicated relationship with water availability. It’s not true that renewables use zero gallons.

It's the other way around, the suitability for a power plant makes the land valuable (and that value driver is relatively unlikely to go down over the lifetime of the plant, for the reasons that lots of people have already commented on).

The world wasn't sure but I think the intelligence agencies were fairly sure. They could see it all from space. I heard about blood banks being moved like a week before it started, at least. They don't do that for an "exercise".

I think the reason Ukraine didn't tell its citizens sooner is that they didn't want traffic problems, and didn't want young men to run. When you say "the world wasn't sure" you really mean "the media said nobody was sure" and that is a distinction you need to learn. Exactly what I said in my earlier post...
