Major newspapers and magazines have actually seriously considered this question, and put the money in for solving this. Some publications such as The Washington Post have added AI-generated readings to their articles, but I've personally found the readings slightly too unnatural (though they are fairly close to a human narrator) to read for longer articles. However, this might improve in the near future.

Other publications (such as The New Yorker) hire human narrators to read a selection of their articles. I appreciate this as the narration helped me enjoy certain lengthier articles that I would've skipped on reading otherwise. The Economist in particular repeatedly mentions that a small but significant portion of its subscriber base primarily listens to instead of reads their articles [1].

For folks wanting to use i3 in their Ubuntu environment, I'd highly recommend https://regolith-desktop.com/! It solved many of my own problems with wanting an i3 setup that "just works" without installing a different distro, plus has lots of nifty options and themes.
What else is there to expect?

Germany is traditionally a manufacturing nation. If you're a manufacturer you have to keep your manufacturing costs low. A big part of manufacturing is the cost of raw materials and the cost of energy. Natural gas is a good source of energy, natural gas is also a good source of wanted raw materials for plastics, fertilisers, etc.

To put sanctions on cheap imported natural gas is hitting your manufacturing pocket in both ways: it puts the costs of your raw materials up, and it puts the cost of your energy up.

If you increase the costs of manufacturing, you have to increase the cost of your finished goods also. Ooops! Unfortunately you now have goods which are more expensive than your competitors. And also oops, you can't sell as many which means your companies can't make a profit.

So the companies either have to close or relocate. That means you're having to de-industrialise and the country's GDP declines.

You know what that means?? Yep, an economic crisis.

China seems to be manufacturing drones for Russia these days, which puts them in a very specific light.
And yet, property is for sale everywhere, go check zillow. You might not like the price, I imagine anybody looking to buy property to rent out probably has similar feelings; ultimately though, if they are using this "price fixing" algorithm, then it should be easy enough to out compete them by just lowering prices.
Yeah, a lot of people think “Nyquist” is a synonym for 2 and stop thinking further.

Saying "magic" is wrong anyway, at least unless you did multiple tests with multiple genes, I'm not sure why you would expect magic to be Mendelian unless your only prior is Harry Potter, and even there dubiously.
I can't seem to reproduce on Kodi. Seriously, stop buying into the surveillance industry paradigm of churn. Stop connecting devices running proprietary software to their desired Internet command and control channel. Stop using streaming services that demand buying into the surveillance industry ecosystem. Stop talking about any of these attractive nuisances as if they're anything but technological dead ends.

It's at least somewhat understandable when Joe Sixpack goes to Targmart and tries to buy a TV, but comes home with a manufacturer backdoored surveillance device and only discovers the trap six months later. But why is this seemingly a consumer concern for a technical community? Everyone here should know better.
No. Shipbuilding isn't an area for startups and unions are a very very small hurdle compared to getting the necessary materials. Just think of the steel. Anyone can order a few tons of rebar, but ask for 10,000 tons of plate steel suitable for ships and you will be laughed at. That isn't sitting in a warehouse or a back lot waiting for customers. An order out of the blue might take years to fill. The people that make steel work with regular customers and will always put those regular paying customers above a random startup who might not ever pay. If anything, they will want insane down payments.

Then think ship engines, the ones with blocks bigger than most houses. Order one of those out of the blue and, again not joking, it might be 10+ years. Those engines are targeting at future ships still on drawing boards, each is accounted for long before any metal is assembled. Any startup's order would be at the back of a very slow line.

A startup wanting to get into ship construction would have more success launching a new social media system, getting lucky, IPO, then use that money to purchase an existing shipbuilder. But at that point the "startup" is really just another a hedge fund investing in ship construction.
If they have material nonpublic information about salaries and share it for the purpose of coordinating salaries, then yes, this is or should be illegal price fixing.

They can solve the problem by making the data public, thus giving the same competitive negotiation advantage to the employee. The publicness is the key part -- it's price fixing when They trade information with Each Other, information that is unavailable to You and is essentially valuable to both sides in negotiating an employment offer
It’s interesting to me how frequently people will talk about sampling performance profilers and not know about Nyquist.

Given a CPU runs at many GHz but SW sampling profilers run at ~1 or even maximum 10khz, it’s really hard to write software if you’re targeting processing at MHz rates.
If my napkin math is right, solar panels give around 2x higher electricity production per square meter than these devices give cooling power. Then that goes into a COP of ~3 for your aircon, and the solar panels have have a factor of 6x better cooling performance per area covered.

Then factor in that electricity can be used for lots of other useful things than cooling, and that solar power variation during the day is perfectly matched with cooling demand, it's a no brainer.
You almost had me with the first sentence, not gunna lie... Oh the irony of the above comment.
USVs and autonomous torpedos are the future for this stuff. Conventional ships are more industrial.
In Romania we have a crisis of workers in highway constructions and at the same time people living on benefits. The jobs are paying above the average, most are for operators of heavy machinery (trucks, bulldozers), don't require high skills, but people prefer to not work. Statistics are showing unemployment in areas where candidates want jobs that don't exist (wrong studies, wrong expectations), in the meanwhile there are plans to import 100,000 temporary workers from Sri Lanka.

People having unrealistic expectations are mostly explaining the high unemployment and high vacancy of some positions. It is a mismatch and the numbers are cooked, France is importing workforce from abroad (including Romania) for positions that French natives don't want.
Note the past-tense in that opening though. The aircraft industry moved from a less-safe state to a more-safe state, then less-safe states were banned.

This raises the question of how feasible it'd be to build new companies. The way that is proven to work (start less safe, then ratchet up standards) is no longer possible because the start of the path has been made illegal. The people who are outcompeting the US are not doing it by starting at the low end and working up.

Not just eventually: many effects, such as basically any non-linear mapping like a distortion, will create overtones that will immediately alias down if you are not oversampling. You either need to use some DSP tricks or oversample (usually a mix of both) to avoid this happening, which often happens in just one step of an effects chain.
I'm not trolling. I'm just having a conversation trying to find a middle ground, but I don't think we are there at all. Especially since I'm in the bucket of outlier.

> I'd really love to understand how we missed the mark for you, and how we've been hostile, in case that applies to non-outliers and it's something we can improve on.

I thought I answered that above:

"Sending a FINAL NOTICE and then a more friendly reminder, and then not doing anything, is hostile behavior intended to extort people to pay money for a service that really hasn't seen any improvement in a very long time."

This conversation got me thinking about the history of things given that I've been a member of that site for 19 years. So, I went searching. This is a pretty good article I ran across from 2019:

I find that little has changed since that article was written.
Separating signal from noise is going to become much harder.

Here's a spoiler-filled article from a major site (IGN) whose last paragraph (and likely more) has clearly been authored by ChatGPT in order to meet tight publishing deadlines and coincide with a movie's release: https://www.ign.com/articles/dune-part-2-post-credits-scene-...

The indicators are all there: "In short, (vague sentence)... Is (hypothetical from article) or (other hypothetical from article)? Will (vacuous statement) or (inverse vacuous statement)? We'll have to wait for (eventuality) to find out."

There is no attribution to AI for the generated content, though, and this lack of attribution is going to become the norm once LLMs become just another authoring tool like spell-check. Coupled with the race for clicks, the "excellent blog posts" are going to be drowned out.
It does occur in nature. Every chunk of it that exists, is currently existing in nature. The fact that usually, on earth, it's always in some compound and we have to extract it by some process is irrelevant. That does not make distilled titanium "supernatural", merely organized. We took some mixed stuff and seperated it into unmixed stuff. A pile of graded pebbles all the same size is not spernatural.

I have referred so many people to this paper over the years. It does a great job of dispelling a lot of misunderstandings people have about Nyquist's theorem.
Yeah, Biden is a Rust fanboy. Thankfully he won't last beyond November.
Smart TVs have gotten absolutely terrible. My 2016 TCL Roku used to be pretty decent - quickly responsive, all the apps worked reasonably well, not filled with garbage. I didn't love the ads but they weren't particularly intrusive. By now, though, it's a lot less responsive, and I often have to tell it to check the WiFi connection even when nothing has changed, or else it thinks it isn't connected to the internet.

The Samsung/Google TV I bought last year is absolute garbage. Always pushing ad-supported channels so Google can make a commission. Sluggish response out of the box that has only gotten worse. Roughly daily it will freeze up and need to be unplugged. I've had to just connect it to my computer and basically use it as a monitor to get any use out of it. Certainly soured me on any more Google products.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but I would say that sampling profilers are a good example of Nyquist applied correctly for the most part: your signal (the distribution of where your software is spending its time) is likely to have an extremely low bandwidth (as in, it's basically static), so why try to sample super rapidly? It's much more of a question of whether you get enough samples to represent that distribution accurately, not how quickly you get those samples.
Can you explain what an N+1 problem is?
I just use the API. It's much more cost effective and doesn't have stupid limitations of 30 gpt4 queries per 4h or what not.
depends on the type of shell, e.g. this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M982_Excalibur is probably a bit sofisticated..
> It should be possible in principal with the right implementation

Most implementations that do this also support TCO, and I think the process itself goes a little beyond AST manipulation. It's basically just manually combining the entire program into one function to get a version of unconstrained goto. It isn't a macro in the traditional lisp-sense of the word, more of a compiler for a new programming language that uses lisp as a host. Practically speaking, it doesn't have many of the properties that are important in macros. It is not defined in a composable way, and it needs deep integration with the language runtime. Tor instance to handle definitions that mutually recur between different packages, it would need to be installed globally in the implementation rather than locally in a given package. So if two packages tried to use different recursion macros, they would likely be incompatible. While it could hypothetically be implemented on top of another lisp, it is really only possible to do so properly as a language feature.
i think the vast majority of risc-v sbcs in the world today don't support any v extension at all, yeah

it's wonderful news that gcc is able to paper over the compatibility problems now

Most of our planet is underwater and barely explored. And most of the region isn't really claimed. By countries or individuals in those countries.

The long-term benefits of exploration are often in the tools to solve the problems with the exploring. Tang and Velcro and microwave ovens are minor examples - I bet you can think of better things the space program gave us! Overall, it's s greater good for society and it spawns lots of specialized businesses and innovation. It's not the destination; it's the journey.

The ocean may not be "the final frontier" (nods to Roddenberry), but that seems like an appropriate "next frontier."
I experimented with it as a productivity enhancer and ultimately found it was too much of a happy hamster wheel effect. It makes you feel more productive even if you're not actually doing anything constructive. Just as often it can lead to short sighted bad judgement that is actively destructive because you're just looking for busy work to flip bits for a dopamine rush. I wouldn't recommend it unless you actually need it or at least use it very sparingly and strategically.
That would be quite a shock to biology

In terms of development I'd recommend using qemu and a cross compiler, or if you want hardware try to get the kendryte k230 (currently the only sbc with rvv 1.0 support) or wait a bit for better hardware (BPI-F3 and sg2380 should release this year).
to downvoters: are you suggesting it was illegal for women to wear pants back then?

(and no, the paris decree does not count). There were female marketed "trousers" appearing in the 1850s, so it is clearly completely retarded to suggest that the french artists "couldnt envision women wearing pants".

But carry on with the official party line, but do so knowingly that it is fake.

I've been working on creating threaded blog posts using RSS feeds. Something similar to Twitter but kind of worse and better in its own way.

I had an idea that if users are allowed to embed the threads to their posts, it acts like a simple comment section.

Not really. All the Jones act has done is make it impossibly expensive to ship things between US ports. It has reduced naval traffic in the US considerably which hurts American shipbuilders.
And the politics are a polarization lock in part because the politicians are controlled by the money interests in the US. For something to move, those interests need to move their bought off politicians in some unified way.
Another annoyance of "fiction tropes taken for reality" happens in movies and games, where people have become so accustomed to seeing camera flaws that some start to believe the presence of those flaws indicates "realism"... Even when the truth is the exact opposite--unless the player-avatar is supposed to have inferior mechanical eyes.

For example, Depth of field, lens flares, chromatic aberration without wearing glasses, etc.

Get an AppleTV. Its responsive, and doesn't shove ads in your face. The downside is a lack of sideloading. I keep a firestick around for what I need to sideload, and cringe my way through the onslaught of ads to get into whatever app I need.
Use stremio + torrentio + real debrid or kodi + real debrid and an old laptop running Linux instead of a Smart TV.

No more surveillance capitalism and a much better, cleaner experience. And the content range is unmatched.
The strongest incentives for surveillance are actually in the private sector: the need for internal KPIs, selling data, targeted advertising, product and sales funnel optimization, and now AI training data.

The government pushes surveillance too but in my experience it’s the secondary driver, at least in the US. Might be different in other countries.

I’m really pessimistic about privacy online given that every single incentive both public and private encourages maximum privacy invasion and centralization. I mean every single incentive. It’s almost impossible to resist.

We might have a chance if end users cared enough to pay for privacy and avoid things that invade it, but very few do. Most people care about convenience, features, and cost, and that’s it. Nothing else matters.
> the topic is whether 30+ nerds migrated to TikTok, we can from this discussion say that they overwhelmingly stayed on YouTube unlike the other demographics discussed.

That maybe what you're discussing but I made no such claim. The two examples I used aren't even youtubers. Cryptoknight only post on TikTok and Marcus only has 88k subs on YouTube compared to his almost half million on TikTok. Professional YouTubers will never migrate from YouTube to TikTok, its impossible to make a living with TikTok's creator fund.
> as the nearest surroundings are the hot planet, which transfer heat more effectively!

The box is insulated. In one case it's an unused refrigerator that opens on the top with more insulation apparently surrounding it. The planet may be hot but on a cold night the ground does nothing to warm me. Soil is not a good conductor of that heat at the surface nor is the air between it and the container. The planet stays "hot" because it is "insulated" as well.
That's what unemployment insurance is there to take care of, the idea being that there is another job to be had. Of course I'm speaking from a European - Swedish and Dutch specifically - perspective so things may not be as 'easy' in countries where there is no such thing.

Do mind though that unemployment insurance should be time-limited and there should be incentives to find alternative employment to avoid the system becoming a replacement for paid employment which leads both to dependency on the side of the unemployed as well as eventual insolvency of the insurance system.
Nitpick: SSA is late 80s, early 90s tech.
In my view it is entirely about the hardware. By the time the Amiga 1200 came out, PC makers could sell you a 33 MHz 486 with <10 cycle multiply, and VESA graphics card with convenient 1 byte/pixel graphics memory arrangement. Against this, muh blitter and HAM and dual playfield mode means nothing. Your dad's bitplane games might be smoother on the Amiga, meanwhile Wing Commander looks like nothing you have ever seen before and let's not even get on to Wolfenstein 3D. (As a kindness to Amiga fans, I am not even going to mention Doom or Syndicate.) The PC games ended up better, and RIP Amiga.
