At this point crypto clearly isn't a bubble. And why would it be? Cryptographically secured money has some advantages over fiat money. This doesn't mean fiat will disappear and all crypto will succeed. But most fiat currencies haven't really "succeeded" either.

Money is a very "efficient" market in this sense because each individual can decide do you want to hold currency X or currency Y or currency Z? And there are pros and cons to each that lead to price discovery between currencies. And I think as time goes on it is becoming more and more apparent that many central banks do not take the management of their countries currency seriously and so people choose alternatives. This is what well-functioning markets look like. Consumer choice and incentives.

Because there is a lot more plumbing involved in buying and selling equities or moving money than there is to send and receive email.

Specifically, a lot of measures to prevent something going wrong, because the the damages are far greater when moving things of great value than an email.

You technically can trade stock on a Saturday, just not using all the aforementioned plumbing of a popular stock exchange and brokerage. And you can move money on the weekends, just maybe not with the help of banks because they consider it not worth their while to offer the service on weekends.

Gguf is cleaner to read in languages that don't have a json parsing library, and works with memory mapping in C. It's very appealing for minimal inference frameworks vs other options.
It's refreshing to see an organisation act with restraint. It's easy to overstep authority by acting like a benevolent dictator, especially when people try and compress a complex topic down to "good vs bad", so it's great that not only recognise the complexity of the issue but refuse to act rashly.

Yes, for larger microplastics. "Microplastic" means plastic particles less than 5mm in length. A Brita water filter will filter out anything larger than about 2 microns, which encompasses a lot of, but not nearly all, microplastics.

If this is a major enough concern to be worth spending some cash on, you can get much better water filters than the Brita that will filter out surprisingly tiny particles and get the vast majority of microplastics.
You're right, of course, and I should've been more precise about that given I have looked at doing exactly that myself (main thing stopping me: I was able to switch to my own X11 window manager within a day - it was painful but worked; meanwhile I'd locked up my machine's display hard within 5 minutes of running some DRI/GBM test code and had to reboot)

I do think, ironically, that the future of Wayland will involve making it more X-like - adding WM support, maybe stripping back the exceedingly overcomplicated protocol (my window manager is smaller than most Wayland example clients..)

And thanks to the extensibility of the Wayland protocol, you can layer any X functionality right back in...

This reminds me of a visit to the Burgess Shale back around 1982. It just happened to rain during our visit (not unusual in British Columbia, I'm sure), bringing the Shale's myriad fossils into high relief. We were visibly _surrounded_ by thousands of half billion year old critters. Unforgettable.
A strangely curt denial. Obviously the salient idea is that the intersection between spherical coordinates and two-dimensional coordinates creates two human interpretations for the phrase "head East in a straight line from point X". A line can start East and be straight both locally and globally, or it can maintain East and be straight only locally and not globally. In the first, you hit Australia, and in the second, France. Neither are in the slightest "divorced from reality".
It’s Canada, where we have a price premium for “shipping” even for products that are built here. Gouging is the Canadian way.

But that said, I see that we do have the very low trim options for ranges I would entertain starting at 50k rather than my initial 80k. That’s still more than we’ve ever spent on a vehicle. I will have to wait for better used options, but at the moment, there is no “practical” difference between used or new, at least not in Canada. There is literally no “not abused by someone else” value at all. Value now is basically just choosing kilometers, and even that floors somewhere around 20k (seeing 10 year old vehicles with 300,000 kilometers for 20k was regular when we were shopping a couple years back).

No household can buy electricity at USD$0.05. If the generators are selling it at USD$0.05, the households are buying it at maybe USD$0.15.

In Australia I can right now install a home solar battery system that supplies power at about USD$0.13 when amortised over 10 years. I hear the USA isn't efficient at solar installations as Australia, but you will get there.
I was listing the items in the original article's #3 and saying I'd move them up to #2 before I'd go about excising portions of the project, the original #2. I still stand by that.

Boiling water. And using hard water (high calcium). And a coffee strainer.
But why? What makes the plumbing stop on weekends and holidays? Is this some kind of law of nature, or can it be fixed?

It seems silly that bank transactions, stock trades, purchases of insurance or anything like that requires human intervention. It's like an HTTP request requiring a human to put it through. Bonkers.
No, because you need to read the classic essay The Tyranny of Structurelessness.

Nice q. While that's valid, there's also a need to allow 1000s+ of people to view a repository without knowing who these people are ahead of time (eg. content creator). This is where link generation is valuable + user management.

There's also a need to share multiple private repositories in a bundle using one single link - again to an unknown number of people.

Add this together with monetization, payment landing pages, disabling cloning (currently not possible within Github) and analytics.

Exactly, so why are you posting a link to scramjets, in relation to supersonic combustion?

I don't think a turbine engine can handle hypersonic speeds, and so this will only work in the first phase of flight, as a booster. Or if it's intended for SSO, the intake will have to close at higher speeds, or the very least the turbine stopped, and the engine switch to rocket mode, with oxidizer pumped in somehow. And then the 'back of the turbine' will likely have thermal issues.
I suspect that we would only see a speciation event like this if people with Down's syndrome were segregated from people without Down's syndrome and allowed/forced to form a parallel society. It's hard to imagine modern human society tolerating such an apartheid, leper-colony style of treatment of people with Down's syndrome, however.
Some point for me:

- LVM and zfs support

- nvidia proprietary and open drivers (not modsetting)

as the most basic, a large slice is in available module to easily deploy various stuff, a final part for some "external" support for proprietary clients of some well-known conferencing services.

For me LVM was the first showstopper, I've then decide to go for zfs (ESP+zpool with anything, root, and swap included, with zfs encryption) and again Guix system offer something externally but too raw to be used. Just trying experimenting aside I've found some nice and fresh "derivations" for some GNU software, but also many missing stuff and implementing them would be very long. There is plenty of support for reproducibility, versioning etc that on desktops are not that interesting but...

If you just focus on historical analogies you’re missing some major themes of the book. And that’s ignoring the thematic exploration of precognition and omniscience, the ecological themes etc.

I know they were still accepting returns back in 2020 (I was looking forwards buying some on a road trip and returning it as we came back through KY), but their new website redesign doesn't seem to mention it anymore.

EDIT: The bottles for sale on the website are specifically "non-returnable", not sure if that implies no more returns, or only store-purchased bottles are returnable.

> wood heat, which is terrible for outdoor air pollution

FYI, newer wood stoves have a catalytic combustor and burn the gasses as they leave the wood box 2 or even three times. They are much, much more efficient and drastically less polluting (because all the particulates are burned instead of going out in the air)

They're law for all new installs in many, many places.

This is bit of a self-inflicted problem for the internet (although not really ICANNs fault for once). ccTLDs would make is extremely clear what jurisdiction applies and where the authority is. I don't think anyone would dare to suggest that ICANN should suspend domains under ccTLDs. In contrast the gtlds we use do leave the door open for this debate to drag on, and because gtlds are run by private companies the whole discussion becomes more complicated.
I don’t believe anyone has defended anything of that sort. Simply pointing out what are more bigger issue but we also don’t know how to solve those issues yet.

You along with others have no issue saying plastic is evil, we should ban it, we should tax it, but have done no critical thinking on how to make that actually work.

Rust moving away from its more ML-leaning beginnings is a downside, to me at least.
> Technologists describe their systems as having “uptime” and measure it in “nines”, such as “We have five nines of uptime”, which means that a system has 99.999% uptime or, equivalently, about five minutes of downtime per year. Five nines is admirable in many circumstances and would be considered _disastrously_ below expectations for e.g. Google Search.

This seems wrong? 5 9s is probably a reasonable benchmark or even unattained goal for Google Search, right?
I'm sure it's more complicated than "we didn't think about leap years", but it certainly sounds pretty amateurish.

Old programmer rant: In my day, we fixed the Y2K bug - we went to the future and back several times a day!
Same Same, but Different
I don't understand what you're saying. Clearly both types of meetings (one-off vs recurring) would be helpful. The one-off may save you days/weeks of research, but it seems like you're not satisfied with that unless you can answer every single minor question you might have across the entire codebase.
I don’t know all the reasons, it could involve regulators not wanting to be on call, or more likely, the businesses not wanting to be on call. I know that for lots of accounting related things, there used to be a need for downtime time to tally things up, and maybe that schedule carried over.

But overall, I would bet it’s just a low demand thing that isn’t worth it. Suppose you opened an exchange that was 24/7. Would the cost to trade on your exchange be sufficiently low to compete with the current exchanges with limited hours?

Technically, if you had a paper stock certificate, you could sell it or buy it, and if you had a bag of money, you could move it. But whether or not other people will help you is probably dependent on how much you can pay, which for 99.99% of people, is probably not worth it to just wait a couple days.

Think about real estate. It’s possible that you have a paper deed and draw up some documents and buy or sell it in 30 minutes, but the cost of something going wrong is so high that it makes sense to take a little time and use lawyers to double and triple check things.
This article (and admittedly most comments here) doesn't emphasize the value of a comprehensive e2e test suite enough.

So much talk about change and large LoC deltas without capturing the expected behavior of the system first
The article doesn't mention anything about global variables, but reducing/eliminating them would be a high priority for me.

The approach I've taken is, when you do work on a function and find that it uses a global variable, try to add the GV as a function parameter (and update the calling sites). Even if it's just a pointer to the global variable, you now have another function that is more easily testable. Eventually you can get to the point where the GV can be trivially changed to a local variable somewhere appropriate.
safetensors can mmap too because the tensor data are just offsets and you are free to align to whatever you want.

It is hard to keep metadata minimal, and before long, you will start to have many different "atom"s and end-up with things that mov supports but mp4 doesn't etc etc. (mov format is generally well-defined and easy-to-parse, but being a binary format, you have to write your parser etc is not a pleasant experience).

If you just want minimal dependency, flatbuffers, capnproto, json are all well-supported on many platforms.
>Overpriced according to whom?

Me, and apparently many others since manufacturers are cutting their forecasts?

As a consumer I don't really care what makes manufacturers more profit, I just want a product that meets my needs, and the first one to do so gets my money. Many, many cars are sold at a Civic's price band, and it wouldn't be happening if it wasn't profitable.

Legacy car makers can twiddle their thumbs all they want, but upstarts like BYD are going to eat their lunch if they don't become competitive. They're making competitively priced EVs, and building a plant in Mexico, so competition is about to heat up.

They aren't worried about the child. Anyone with a typical five year old knows they'll be able to cross the neighbourhood just fine.

Absolutely. We've pioneered portable identity (and links and data) in a decentralised social web in Peergos: https://peergos.org/posts/decentralized-social-media
This is also pull based interestingly, but also has visibility controls being E2EE.

I don't think society needs public, or at least public by default, social media. This is even more true now in the age of LLMs and mass data harvesting.
I think the idea is the calcium carbonate traps it but not sure why or how efficient it is. Or if you boil microplastics do they melt (become petrol or oil?) or do they stay intact or a mix.
Consumers _always_ feel weird about reused packaging? That is probably not true. Here in Swede we used to have an awesome system of plastic containers for a about 20 or so glass bottles of soda. These were always recycled (and so much cheaper than PET for some reason!), and it was obvious due to the wear on the glass bottles. Literally nobody cared about it. Google for "drickaback" to see how it looked like.
Plenty of people further north than I have Starlink, including a few of my friends and relatives.

I think this model is kind of of date and for what is worth we have way too many social networks anyway.
> GNOME is ahead of them because of the progress on high dynamic range color, non-fullscreen/partial scanouts, variable refresh rates, and the hidden work in GNOME extensions enabling things like PaperWM.

Wait... all of this is a lot to take in. HDR progress has gone great on Red Hat's side, but KDE has been working on it just as long (with arguably further progress). VRR has existed on KDE for a while as "Adaptive Sync" and the work that goes into updating GNOME extensions exists mostly because the GNOME developers refuse to make a stable API for it.

GNOME and Red Hat obviously do great work for the community, but these seem like weird examples. To the contrary, with GNOME's fractured extensibility and now-missing system tray, a lot of Windows and MacOS users will probably feel confused booting up GNOME 40. I say all this from a GNOME system myself =P

> Once both DEs support these things, we can then recognize we're so far behind the curve with "spatial computing"

Holy whiplash, Batman! I disagree so hard my head is spinning.

For one, "the curve" of Spatial Computing is so-far relegated to cheap Android SDKs and $3,500 iPad-killers. Nobody is shipping Johnny-Mnemonic style hardware today, and probably won't be for another decade. Focusing on developing that technology is not only a waste of time, but entirely tangential to the work that goes into making the modern desktop usable. GNOME and KDE's efforts shouldn't be dedicated to a hypothetical userbase that might never exist.

...and on the flip side, a lot of work has gone into "spatializing" Open Source software. OpenXR is the de-facto standard for VR experiences, and is well-supported on Linux clients. With Wayland, the desktop's rendering model is now finally up to a position where someone could feasibly write a foveated window renderer. There are people doing it right now, despite the lack of demand: https://simulavr.com/
This is how information slowly changes. The original numbers from facebook needed to be taken with a grain of salt. 2 billion a day raises it more.

Facebook claims to have 2 billion accounts but no where near 2 billion unique accounts. I don't know what facebook calls an active user but it use to mean logged in once in the past 30 days.
> Personal instances will be pretty rare

Personal instances of the US Post Office are also pretty rare, my dude. You gonna go deliver your mail yourself? If so, why write a letter?

You want total distributed decentralization? Use Gnutella. It's equivalent to giving your letter to your neighbor and asking them to deliver it, and they ask their neighbor, etc, until it reaches a back alley in Algeria, and then that Algerian calls you on the phone, and if you're home, you read the letter out loud live on the phone. Turns out that's a pretty crap way to deliver letters. But it's decentralized!!

People: Stop being so fucking obsessed with decentralization. It's not that great. I'm sure you're all having lots of fun inventing crap technology to solve an already solved problem, but you're just codesturbating.
Yeah that works if you are not dealing with open source. If you are dealing with open source, though, it really won't save you that much trouble, if anything it will just lead to unnecessarily hostile interactions. You're not really obligated to fix any specific issues that people report, but shrugging and saying "Your problem." is just non-productive and harms valuable downstreams like Linux distributions. Especially when a lot of new failures actually do indicate bugs and portability issues.

In the mid 1990s when C++ was getting std::map and the other containers CPU caches were not a big deal. Average case was the correct thing to optimize for. These days CPU caches are a big deal and so your average case is typically dominated by CPU cache miss pipeline stalls. This means for most work you need different data structures. The world is still catching up to what this means.
