Thank you for the response and sorry if my comment was excessively snarky. I think we share the same concerns and have the same goals and even mostly agree on practical steps to get there. I've just seen and heard too many degrowth advocates (that really want to return to 19th century economy with 21st century populations) recently and it's really worrying me.

> and subsidize the same for poor countries who haven't historically emitted much and don't have the wealth to transition themselves.

Yes! With a fraction of the money sloshing around various "charities" and NGOs, mostly spent on salaries, you could build solar with storage for millions of people. Of course in practice it would be really complicated, you have to make sure the right people run the systems and there will be bad cases of corruption. But it really is the least we could do.

> The US and Australia and Canada continuing to pump more fossil fuels

The funny thing is that the market is turning even Australia and Texas into solar superpowers. Ever since solar became the cheapest form of generation both have seen an incredible boom in solar, with almost no policy incentives. This is a huge win for the planet, if people want to build solar because the incentives align they will just do it without costing larger society any (political) capital.

> It is actively physically harming them in a very real way. It's an indirect, diffuse form of physical assault.

I follow the logic and agree about the causality chain, but this is a road it's best not to go down. It quickly turns into personally blaming people for things they had no control over. That has never been a good way to persuade people. Imo it's also a lazy deflection, since humanity has never really paid any attention to its resource usage. The only difference is that Industrial societies gained the capability to affect the planet on such a large scale.
How individuals advance at Buffer without becoming managers (2019)
The article's a little reactionary, yet it's at least a look at a portion of Africa that few others authors look at. "How do all these mercenary businesses thrive?"

The formula appears to actually be quite simple to someone who's looked a bit. Get guns, make name, get hired by nearby country to cause trouble.
This is one of those links where my first thought is that it's gonna be something Rickroll-style with some image saying "figma balls" somehow.
That’s how you get a bad review and charges for $800 to replace a napkin. Airbnb will side with the host, not you.
Yes, Elon accidentally fell into creating multiple billion dollar companies.
That's true. With VC funding there's usually some grace period for users before the milking begins, usually in the form of an IPO.
An Action Plan to increase the safety and security of advanced AI
Yeah I'm nostly that way myself but I'd like at minimum empty the trash and restock the toilet paper, etc. without needing a call to the front desk to ask for those things.
Nicely done! Easy to get started and super intuitive. Some bugs here and there (clicking the plus button is giving 404 on my end for example), but seems solid. Congrats.
And so my only alternative is to place my utmost and final faith in the product.

> they took the time to implement the feature and actively decided to be shitty to their customers when they are given the choice

Ah, but companies have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to be as shitty to their customers as they can get away with.
I'd put this under "enshitification".

I've had plenty of complaints in the past about terrible airbnb hosts, but this seems to me to be clearly motivated to bring more money into AirBNB at the expense of the hosts and neighbors. Just like Paypal made conscious decisions to ignore customer fraud and hold sellers liable for everything, now AirBNB is trying to squeeze more out of the hosts by supporting and enabling bad behavior by guests, removing options for hosts to control or respond to terrible customers. I stopped using AirBNB several years ago, but then I noticed that hotels have copied AirBNB's shitty policies, like the price doubling on the last page due to unexpected fees. They're enshitifying the whole hospitality industry.

It's not about the price. Hotel suites with multiple bedrooms are extremely hard to find or cater more to the super luxury segment.
The last commit was on Feb 28, 2023. Why are we posting about a github project that is obviously dormant?
I've been programming in Python for over 6 years now and every week I learn something new. But recently I've been thinking about moving to a more capable language with proper concurrency for backend API requests (FastAPI sucked).

I also want types, so Elixir is not in the picture. I dabbled in Rust a bit. Although I was able to get the hang of things and build a CLI tool pretty quickly, I'm worried I'll have to deal with numerous quirks later if I keep using Rust (like numerous string types). Is that something to be worried about if all I want from Rust is Python+Types+Concurrency?
I'm totally with you. If someone doesn't come into my room for 3 or 4 days, possibly interrupting me when I'm working, I am perfectly good with that.

I had a co-worker who really hated people coming into her room. I think we were in Japan and she had a Do Not Disturb sign up and she got really pissed when a maid came in and made up her room anyway.
> EMF meters(like in the airplane to spot mobiles) are quite cheap and if you find an active one, you can probably sue the host

In a house with a bunch of smart meters/appliances, bluetooth devices, a router, indoor electrical wiring, nearby power lines, cell signals, AM/FM radio, etc wouldn't the house be constantly flooded with EMF radiation pretty much everywhere?
I used Norvig’s lisp2.py to build a low code UI. I modified the interpreter to accept JSON flavored lisp, basically replace parens with brackets. The upside is that it was very very easy to make a react front end that manipulates JSON (JLisp). My thinking was, I need a serialization format for operations from the front end, and a way to interpret them. I could write my own language that no one has heard of, or use lisp, which few have used.

It will be very exciting to see how much faster they'll be able to make vanilla python. The value proposition is being challenged by the plethora of tools aiming to alleviate those issues. Speed improvers like Mojo, pytorch, triton, numba, taichi come to mind.

There are so many different attempts at solving this problem that that the last time I wanted to try one of them, I found myself overwhelmed with options. I chose taichi which is pretty fun and easy to use, although somewhat limited in scope.
I don't remember LCDs needing any "push" in the customer segment, and they certainly co-existed for a while, until people stopped buying CRTs.

Initially they were wildly expensive, so all we could do is to sit and watch; but the moment they got affordable, people just started buying them. I remember swapping my CRT for a (smaller) LCD.. the extra space on my desk was so nice! And in a few years, I bought an LCDs display that was much larger than any CRT I could ever afford and fit on my desk...

And yes, viewing angle restriction was annoying. Also magazines would keep writing about latency, but I didn't care - I was not a gamer, I was a programmer, big size + desk space was much more important.
Before Grusch were the pentagon videos. December 16, 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_UFO_videos

Videos were released, targeting data never was. And now we're having a massive news cycle about this report, and about the people testifying to congress, and lots of attention on this person or that persons reputation. You can't buzz around a carrier battle group for 3 days without someone getting a lot of data on your aerodynamic performance.

But for decades now, all that radar, targeting and high resolution surveillance data has been tightly controlled, and will be missing from this report just like it was from every other report.

I just love the simplicity of deployment. I've been a user of Wazuh for quite some time and the fact that it is leveraged by AI automation makes this solution very promising
Indeed, and as you mentioned, open-source libraries are always an option. It's worth noting that our open-source library assists in document design, allowing freedom in renderer choice. While the open-source library is aimed at individuals, our API targets businesses of any size. Our pricing can be as low as $0.05 per PDF for high-volume or annual commitments. Additionally, we offer cloud hosting for your documents for up to 90 days, and our pricing includes analytics.
Graphene is great, the problem is pixel phones. We need an effort to push other manufacturers to get on board.
'Most practitioners use summary metrics (for example, mean, median, standard deviation, and so on) to communicate about distributions. However, you should usually examine much richer distribution representations by generating histograms, cumulative distribution functions (CDFs), Quantile-Quantile (Q-Q) plots, and so on. These richer representations allow you to detect important features of the data, such as multimodal behavior or a significant class of outliers.'

I don't disagree with the advice above, but the median is a robust estimator of location, and if the median differs from the mean by an appreciable number of standard deviations, that is an indication of non-normality.
Finally, looking forward to the benchmarks of many tools!
How to add search to a website using flexsearch

Didn’t take it that way, but thank you for the clarification. :) And thanks! Likewise. :D
Seems like they re-invented technical design reviews.
Thanks! We try to make our product as accessible as possible for anyone to use (or at least to test). It's good to hear that our efforts have been worthwhile!
"it probably makes more sense" - only if your workplace cares about retention.
It is similar to pspdfkit. We add an abstraction layer over the HTML and assets hosting to make it easier to use without having to think too hard about security and serving assets.

We also hope to keep the focus on the PDF generation part rather than expanding super-horizontal style to provide all imaginable PDF tools at the expense that none is really good.

multiprocessing only works fine when you're working on problems that don't require 10+ GB of memory per process.
Once you have significant memory usage, you really need to find a way to share that memory across multiple CPU cores. For non-trivial data structures partly implemented in C++ (as optimization, because pure python would be too slow), that means messing with allocators and shared memory. Such GIL-workarounds have easily cost our company several man-years of engineer time, and we still have a bunch of embarrassingly parallel stuff that we still cannot parallelize due to GIL and not yet supporting shared memory allocation for that stuff.

Once the Python ecosystem supports either subinterpreters or nogil, we'll happily migrate to those and get rid of our hacky interprocess code.

Subinterpreters with independent GILs, released with 3.12, theoretically solve our problems but practically are not yet usable, as none of Cython/pybind11/nanobind support them yet. In comparison, nogil feels like it'll be easier to support.
Perhaps there were other ways to see whether there was activity on the bus, but I was thinking of having a scope that was useful for the 8 MHz bus speed. Yes, they existed. On the other hand, they were not affordable for most people.

And yes, memory was expensive back then. I remember spending several hundred dollars to get 16 MB in 1992. That purchasing decision biases my computer purchases to this day. I still over provision RAM after reaping the benefits of it over 30 years ago.
You'd look it up in a guide book, or contact the tourist information office for the place you're visiting. Later, some of this was online, and even later there were websites for the bookings.

Earlier, you might have to write letters. I remember my mum describing doing this when she travelled to the Eastern Bloc — she had to write letters to the tourist office, then follow up by letter to make the booking. It might have been necessary to write in German or Russian.

There is no crime here is true. I really hope that's exactly what you mean.

However this person that is unstable or at least very aggressive and is clearly trying to track someone. I really hope you don't mean that because someone is publicly available that it is ok to do what you want to them.

IE "asking for it" because a person was around to commit a crime against so its their fault for not staying behind locked doors with a shotgun their whole life.

You are very close to simply stating that having an online profile makes it ok to do things to someone because you have dictated they should not have one if they don't want to be a victim of a crime in the future. You are also sort of imposing your view on everyone in the world that social media is not a necessary part of life nowadays. (that is a different debate)
Russia is actively at war and that is common knowledge. These people have to be retarded if they thought they would get a desk job in Moscow.

They very well knew that they are going to help in the war efforts in some capacity. I know that Nepalis are joining in large numbers in Russian army today and are on the frontlines too. I suspect the Indian guy simply chickened out when he saw the war.

It is in there interest of Russia to clearly tell the recruits what they are getting into. That reduces chances of cowardice on the battlefield. A lot of Indians would still volunteer to fight despite the risk to their lives. Many Indians from the poor parts of the country risk their lives for earning less than $2 per day. They are engaged into thinks like train robberies, kidnapping, organized crime, drug trafficking etc. where risk to life is non trivial.
Swift or Kotlin might be what you’re looking for but nobody uses Swift for backend really, and I’m not sure about Kotlin.
This just seems like an RFC with a touch of skeuomorphism?
A “Tiny Zork™” might be a good first step on the way to optical computer Doom™.

I once created a Zork clone on a 4096 byte Tandy TRS-80 Pocket Computer, with a one line text display (and graphics using 64 3x2 pixel “bitmap” characters).

My Zork had a small map, a simple parser and some of the starting objects and puzzles from the original. It is incredible how many efficiencies you can find when you have no alternative and think you are building something really great at the time

And if you think that’s something, now imagine playing pong against it across a 3 x 48 pixel screen (1x24 characters, of 3x2 pixels each). Every volley a straight shot, or lots of rebounds, as the ball made its way across the “table”.

So yes I was an early game developer and I am so prepared for 4-bit optical so my special skills can be appreciated once more!
> many things we want to measure are not well-distributed to allow the CLT to hold

I guess that may be true for some values of "many" and "we" but most things we want to measure have finite variance.

> It's somewhat likely that AI-augmented or AI-enabled professions become so ludicrously profitable that any other profession becomes barely livable.

It doesn't matter how much money you make. When your sewer backs up, someone has to fix it, and that person is gonna charge what the market will bear. If the professions become ludicrously profitable, the trades are going to increase their rates accordingly.
It depends on the host. If the host is a "real person" (for a lack of a better word) then it works. If they have a bunch of properties and outsourced it to an agency or something, it won't work.

Unfortunately the latter is becoming increasingly popular and harder and harder to avoid. I usually try to book places where it's a large house and they rent out the top floor or something.

That way if there are any problems, the owner is right there to help and it's easier to negotiate the cash deals.
Sounds like you want Julia. It looks like Python, but also has, what you ask for.

You can even run Python from Julia, so that alleviates the problem with a lack of libraries somewhat.

Hosts, like hotels, can simply document before and after if they're concerned about damages.

Disallowing potential spying on guests and requiring disclosure just sounds sane. Nobody should be monitored without their knowledge.
Maybe we could have an elaborate key rotation ceremony. We could call it "pen and paper"
TIL: even today, they still make analog oscilloscopes [0]

The are not cheap though - almost $1000 for a 30MHz model which is super expensive, especially compared to digital model. I assume "$150" refer to price for a used oscilloscope.

Kind of a weird title. The main part seems to be relevant, single purchases, its just they've all shifted over to monthly fee vs "lifetime" single payment. Somewhere in the 1-2 years of subscriptions vs a bulk payment forever.

Based on a decent number of the subscriptions I've seen over on Google Play (not being an iPhone user personally), it's not surprising. Often seems like "offer the least, while continuously charging you money." Course, that just seems like America, "zero work effort, infinite money" being optimal.
I've built a website that turns a few pictures into a high-quality storybook
It currently supports children, but I will soon expand it to include couples and pets.

The front end is a simple e-commerce running on Shopify, which is great for handling the complexity of a physical product, while the backend is based on different functions I created in Python to use Stable Diffusion XL to personalize the chosen theme with the protagonist's appearance.

Here's how it works under the hood:
1. Fine-tune a model based on the style you want your book to have.
2. Fine-tune a model with the protagonist's pictures.
3. Generate the story, illustrations, and the cover.

While there are many tools available for creating storybooks, finding one that produces high quality can be challenging. It's always a tradeoff between creativity and precision. In this case, I chose to constrain creativity in favor of precision. However, I believe this will change in the future :)

Taichi: Accessible GPU programming, embedded in Python
I'm wondering how AI scientists work these days. Do they really hack Cudakernels or do they plug models together with highlevel toolkits like pytorch?

Considering its the latter, considering pytorch takes care of providing optimized backends for various hardwares, how big of a moat is Cuda then really?
How is that obvious? Paying $200 for turnover service seems perfectly reasonable; when my wife and I ran an AirBnB, we paid our cleaners $250 per visit.
The universal reply of "it depends" is appropriate here. The definition of "good" will depend upon your requirements and threat model, since there's not one best band-aid for all situations

Some DLP are driven from the client side, and have deep integration with things like Microsoft Office, or Office 365, or (as you said) G-docs and Drive, others are designed to identify leaky buckets, exposed databases, data found in places that it shouldn't be, that kind of thing

The reason why the requirements especially matter in this discussion is that a lot of those products work via proxy to allow alleged prevention of loss, and other products work by detection. If the prevention proxy goes down or is misconfigured, that's a business impeding event and will be "pager goes off." The detection approach means no one is blocked if something goes wrong, but will naturally have a lag between "someone saves something they shouldn't" and any potential leak happening

So, it depends on the kinds of risk your business is willing to tolerate and the kinds of leaks you're trying to prevent or detect

US lawmakers can put a stop to this and every other privacy scandal over the years at any time you know by passing a strong privacy law but nahhhhhh we can't do that!

It's yet another reason why people should buy older cars (preferably 2012 or older) since the automotive, insurance, and data broker industries don't give a total jack about your privacy and sadly the US aren't going to do jack about this either until we can elect more people in office that does care and pass a strong privacy law in the process.
It is not anti-chinese fear that these companies are using literal slave labor. Visit r/fucknestle to see that same disgust for non-chinese companies. There is actually an amount of this disgust for clothing brands in general, as they often routinely end up employing literal slaves as well, however it is unfocused, as the non-transparency of supply chains purposely makes it hard to know who is or isn't using slave labor, and how much plausible deniability they have implemented.
