> People will happily spend $5 for coffee but have an existential crisis when asked for a $1 app.

I think the key here, is that when you buy a coffee, you're reasonable sure of what you'll receive. You know coffee, you probably know the store, and although not all coffee shops are great, it's likely going to be good enough.

When you buy a random one dollar app, you spin the wheel, and the odds of that wheel landing on anything useful to you is extremely low. You have no way of telling if the app is the result of honest hard work, or the result of a cookie cutter build made from some user on fiverr.

So for me, it's not existential crisis, but an exhaustion from past annoyances.

No, getting root permissions should not be possible. Having a concept of a super user which can do whatever they want is bad for security and doesn't follow the principle of least privilege. There are better ways for an OS to offer functionality than requiring such a dangerous concept to exist.

The fact that desktop and server Linux distros still have a root account, have sudo, or said binaries is evidence of how far behind they are in terms of security.

I used to ask people if they’d be ok with a keyboard manufacturer restricting what you were allowed to type, in hopes of illustrating how absurd safety filters can be. Now I’m bracing for keyboards actually doing this once LLMs get involved with helping us type less, aka completing our thoughts. It’s a tossup whether they’ll just not show the offensive completions, or whether they’ll go out of their way to remove offensive language as you type it.

Imagine fighting with a keyboard AI to let you sling a fuck-you when you feel it’s warranted. Yet it’s easy to imagine the whole paragraph getting reworded by the AI to remove the whole basis for you saying fuck-you in the first place. I don’t know whether to feel grateful it toned me down, or upset that it’ll get in the way of what I originally wanted to say, bad idea or not.

Sorry for the tangent. It’s just interesting to imagine the weird world we’ll be in ten years from now. It takes about a decade for huge effects to become apparent, and the battle for language itself is one that I don’t think many people realize is coming. Being prevented from swearing vs prevented from voicing improper thoughts is too close for comfort.

But, market forces will prevail in the end. I still have faith that we’ll see a pushback from people fed up with safety filters, and that a startup can capitalize on this as an initial target market. Grok was the first of hopefully many.
I seriously hope the EU will intervene on this -- it's outrageous and malicious compliance.

Why do you say that? Navigational techniques like this (developed and validated over longer timeframes of course) are precisely for war where you want to cause mayhem for your enemies who want to prevent you from doing that by jamming GPS.

This is not just an idea but we have already fielded systems.

What is typically done with cruise missiles launched from sea that there is a wide sweep of the coast mapped where it is predicted to make landfall. How wide this zone has to be depends on the performance of the innertial guidance and the quality of the fix it is starting out with.
>Linear motion is still a problem, because, if all you have is accelerometers, position and velocity error accumulates rapidly.

An INS will usually need some kind of sensor fusion to become accurate anyways. Like how certain intercontinental ballistic missiles use stars (sometimes only a single one) as reference. But all these things are based on the assumption of clear sight and even this google maps image based navigation will fail if the weather is bad.

Coherent group of adults can hire, support, set expectations, evaluate contributions and resolve conflict among themselves. If someone really does a bad job, the group will build a consensus and escalate the problem. If you save on managers, you can pay more people that actually do the work, so they don't have to beg for reasonable compensation every month, make up bullshit to justify their employment, and waste time "being managed". Instead they can focus on doing what needs to be done. If there's no ladder to climb, performance reviews and internal competition, people who are not satisfied with the work itself, and just look for titles and promotions will just leave. The things that do sometimes need escalation, can be handled by the owners/leadership.

Reasonable high caliber people don't need to be "managed". You can manage people working in the restaurant, make them a schedule, make sure they show up, etc. In a creative and intellectually challenging industry like SWE, why would you hire most bright people to pay them lots of money and then think they require continuous "managing". They might need someone to report to and escalate when need arises but that should be very lightweight.

Generally managers are used for handling failure of culture and the cause of that failure at the same time. If you are running a shitty shop, full of crappy devs, who you want to pay crappily, then you need a manager for ~ every 8 people, to whip them and make sure they are doing their jobs, and get fired if they don't.
I store my TOTP secrets in the Gnome Keyring

But you are not trying to produce a fixed amount of goods. You are trying to compete with your peers for a limited supply of goods. Some of these things are artificially constrained (housing), and some of these things are hard or impossible to scale and thereby subject to Baumol's cost disease (surgeons, teachers/tutors, etc.)

So long as 2 people are chasing 1 house, or worse, one oncology appointment for their child, you will have people working themselves to the bone to outcompete their peers. We could, of course, allow building more homes and improve the supply of healthcare, but that might mean people wouldn't work as hard, which would mean less surplus wealth for capital owners and state actors to enjoy.

Hi,

Would you mind telling me what immunotherapy you get, specifically for cats? I'm currently on Grazax for grasses etc. I would love to be able to get a cat, but I am quite allergic and get flu-like symptoms after a while. (Also, my blood tests don't show that I'm allergic to cats, so that complicates things).

This is the Cartesian distinction between understanding and imagination. Imagination requires a peculiar effort of the soul, which AI is unable to exert. Understanding is knowing that a triangle's interior angles add up to 180 degrees. Imagination is understanding that and being able to represent the image in your mind.

"GPS coordinates" is a bit of a weird one. Surely they mean, "coordinates" or "position" or "longitude and latitude".

GPS is a system used to self-locate, and find coordinates.

There are reports from the 90s where the medieval warm period was hidden conveniently. Where some politicians wanted the data manipulated to pull money from Siemens (this is just two examples of real, factual manipulation that happened, that you will find in the first link below).

Also, the models used were "toucehd" to fit wanted predictions, the models chosen also were (and still are I think) the most catastrophic.

I am NOT saying the climate change is not mostly due to humans (I think so though). What I am saying is that I have very reasonable doubts.

Link here with lots of examples with intentional manioulation examples in the past: https://www.libertaddigital.com/ciencia/el-watergate-climati...

This is basically all related. A Climate Gate from a hacker that stole the data and exposed it in 2009: https://www.libertaddigital.com/ciencia/que-es-el-watergate-...

I guess, even if you vote negative, that I have reasons to at least doubt about this as a whole, given the high level of manipulation that there is around it, since what I see here is a huge effort to do an exercise of cherry-picking and bias confirmation: some scientists are discarded or hidden, the data is used in the most catastrophist way, manipulated at convenience, information omitted... it looks certainly suspicious to me.
Polish imports of wood from Kazakhstan have gone up 50x since the introduction of sanctions on Russia - even though Kazakhstan has close to zero forests and its domestic production of wood has always been very very very low - but suddenly they produce so much wood it almost exactly matches what used to be imported from Russia before. And everyone knows this is a rouse and this is really Russian wood imported into Kazakhstan first, but regulators are either unwilling or unable to do anything about it.

Web apps are mostly optional and otherwise work as a normal web site. Differences are that some functions are exclusive to web apps, so you wouldn't get them on a web site anyway. A feature I do find annoying is the ability to save a page onto my (Android) phone screen is taken away and replaced by "install app". I work around that by going into airplane mode, fetching the page unsuccessfully, and saving that!

This should be an option for the user then, like "Install" (as a PWA) or "Add bookmark to home screen" (as a browser tap).

Not sure of tool/IDE but you can achieve that effect in HTML/CSS by use of text-shadow at 0px 0px and a reasonable value for the blur radius (maybe 5px or so).

In computer graphics a similar glow effect is usually done by blurring and rendering that just under the source image/mesh. Pretty similar to the above.

I don't know those specific books. I do know the pop-history trend of late that paints European dominance, starting in the 1500s and ending somewhere around WW1, in a certain way. Meaning Western capitalism, bonus points for including a religious angle, as the absolute superior. And that ignores a number of things:

It fails to look at the medival period as different, distinct periods. It also fails to brake those down by region. That can be called cherry picking.

It fails to look at all of that im context, especially by ommitting the history of the other side of Western dominance. That history is directly linked, after all Western dominance required a counter part to be dominated. So whatever happened at the other end is crucial to understand the shared history. This can be called ignorant.

And last but not least, this view on history is used to drive political narratives. As is the opposite political bias that shows in other books and papers. I do not like neither, historians shoupd at least try (one cannot be fully neutral ever) to be impartial and provide an objective study of history. Late pop-history doesn't do that.

This approach is used very commonly - e.g. every airliner, submarine and military plane will have such a navigation system (augmented with GPS these days obviously).

The issue is that the system naturally drifts, so over time it will accumulate error which has to be mitigated somehow (e.g. in military equipment with finding a known landmark and fixing on it).

The so-called INS systems are quite the marvel of mechanical technology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system

If you show up with cash to buy a car, you're looked at like you're crazy. They push, and push to get you to take out a loan.

It no longer puts you in a better negotiating position to be a cash buyer, as they're making more money selling you finance than selling the car.

For all of Tesla's failings, car dealerships will die out. Millennials and Gen Z _hate_ being sold to and will do anything they can to remove salespeople from the process; even if it means paying more in the end.
They were already selling expensive seafood before, presumably with profit, why should that have changed? I imagine for a few years part or all of their profit will go to the lender while the pay back the loan. Then it's all for them again, except they're now owned by the trust instead of by the previous shareholders.

The point of having a trust is not to form capital, but to enforce a certain company governance system (as described in the legal documents with whom the trust is set up) without tying it to who happens to be the owner at any given moment.
