I like your point about FOSS tho. I'll think about that. My current idea is that FOSS is good for utilities, or things you can plug in, but for full blown applications like my BrowserBox^0 is, or Andris Rienmann's EmailEngine^1, it's not so great.

Tho, 'slow moving target' seems a good heuristic worth considering. Thank you! :)

Smithsonian magazine had an article on this finding some days ago

ClickHouse can work with S3 as a main storage. This is possible because a table is a set of immutable data parts. Data parts can be written once and deleted, possibly as a result of a background merge operation. S3 API is almost enough, except for cases of concurrent database updates. In this case, it is not possible to rely on S3 only because it does not support an atomic "write if not exists" operation. That's why external, strongly consistent metadata storage is needed, which is handled by ClickHouse Keeper.

Last time i checked you need to swipe to confirm every time your automation attempts to send a message? kinda kills the automation part. I was shocked that there was almost nothing to be automated with messages on IOS as third party apps can't even read or send them. The Tasker app for android is great for this kind of thing.

To cut to the chase: depending on what you're doing, and what you're eating, are you getting enough Vitamin C to ward off scurvy? Because going into deficit would initially mess with both skin and teeth. Modern cereal products tend to be heavily vitamin fortified, so it won't happen in that context.

You're complaining of what sounds like a nutritional deficit, so what you eat - precisely - is in fact incredibly important to the question, as is how long you've been maintaining any one set of menu choices. And then since time is a factor, quantity matters too - it is not equivalent to binge on something one week and then go 3 weeks completely cutting it out, for example.

Maybe this is assumed if you know anything about dune science, but: exactly what is the ground penetrating radar measuring? Are these layers of different density/compaction of sand? How do they form?

Either way, I didn't know dunes could have that much detectable internal structure (though in retrospect I should have). Based on playing on beach dunes, I tend to think of dry dune sand as just a step above liquid.

Mexico is much farther south, where the daylight hours are more consistent throughout the year. Virtually no countries around the equator have DST.

In many cases, if you don't have to worry about jotting down notes and action items during a meeting, the meeting can be conducted more efficiently. While not novel, a well-written meeting summary also makes it easier to quickly get an understanding of what was discussed and needs to be done as a result of the meeting, whether you attended it a few hours/days/months ago or didn't attend at all. Being able to automatically act on the outcomes is the really exciting part.

I agree that there's more that can be done for meetings that heavily rely on visuals. Right now, we save what was screen shared (if recordings are enabled) but the visual component isn't used in generating outcomes. Lots of interesting things that can be done with multimodal models here.

Thank you for the information and the commitment to open source. I know the Gold edition isn't open source under an OSI license, but is it source available for people who purchase it?

I'm strongly considering buying it because it's not a subscription, and is open source. As a general rule, I don't buy proprietary software anymore after having been burned in the past. I have no issues with open source software that has proprietary features as a way to make the project sustainable, if they are source available for paying customers, and personal modifications are allowed. Obviously redistributing any of that code, even my own modifications, would not be acceptable and would violate the license.

You mentioned that the goal is to make the Gold edition features open source eventually, so would you consider going source available?
"filesystem" is not a name reserved for Unix-style file systems. There are many types of file system which is not built on according to your description. When I was a kid, I used systems which didn't support directories, but it was still file systems.

It's an incorrect take that a system to manage files must follow a set of patterns like the ones you mentioned to be called "file system".

> No you don't; a map is not the territory, and is necessarily wrong, which means that if you had such a model and were actually relying on it you wouldn't be able to do things you obviously can do in real life.

What are you talking about, a world model doesn't need to be perfect, nobody said humans has a perfect world model just that we have a world model.

Yes we update the model and adjust when it is wrong, but we still have a world model we use to plan out actions before we do them. I can very accurately predict all the events that will happen when I cook food, how the water will flow etc, sometimes things go wrong and I adjust and fix, but there is no way I could cook food if I didn't have that world model to plan out actions.

> This is a longstanding critique of GOFAI; see Hubert Dreyfuss and Phil Agre.

They don't even mention world model there, I think you are talking about something completely different. No, the mental model humans have of the world isn't the real world, we know that, it is a model of the world, ie a world model. A model isn't the real thing, that is why we call it a model.

Highly miffed that debugging is rarely important these days. I'm speaking from the perspective of programming at work. I have had several dev setups where getting debugging to work was a royal PITA.

Debugging is so useful as a tool. There is nothing like it. They help a lot when there is complex state being manipulated. Instead of writing print statements, recompiling, repeat, debugging enables seeing everything, computing watch statements, deeply inspecting objects wherever you are and so
much more. The biggest thing it enables is near-0 cost hypothesis testing when debugging.
Because car drivers, unlike ebike riders and buggy drivers, are surrounded by a metal cage built to some level of crash protection standard. Car drivers also largely wear seat belts that prevent them being thrown through the air and impacting trees, kerbs, etc.

It's kind of obvious really.
You're probably aware of other cases where people wear helmets, for example on construction sites and while riding motorbikes or indeed bicycles. A lot of people riding cars wear seatbelts. I don't understand what's supposed to be so baffling about wearing helmets in this case, as well.

Is the AI cycle like the dot-com bubble?
If you say so, though I can’t say I’m super convinced by your opinion; it doesn’t seem like you’ve made a reasonable case or brought any evidence. To be fair, it is legitimately hard to argue with the dictionary and all of history, but I wish you good luck communicating with others! BTW, did you intend for that to be a self-own?
No, I’m a software engineer. I barely graduated high school because I was too busy smoking pot and programming at a time when you needed a degree to get a good job so didn’t have much opportunities despite being pretty skilled at programming. I got a job at Netscape tho as one of the first tech companies that didn’t look at credentials before skill. I did well there and did my own companies. But before I had nothing and move to California with $5 and a change of clothes, slept on the floor of someone I randomly met on irc (I was lucky it didn’t turn out worse than it did don’t try this at home!) until I found a job. Anyway, after Netscape and my startups I became a quant on Wall Street, finished my cs degree, and have had a successful career since. Now I’m the top IC at a late stage startup.

Can you share specs and places from where you sourced the parts.
> maybe 4 cycles worth in this optimized version?

It's quite a bit more than that, just the code discussed in the post is around 20 instructions, and there's a bunch more concerns like finding the delimiter between the name and the temperature, and hashtable operations. All put together, it comes to around 80 cycles per row.

When explaining the timing of 1.5 seconds, one must take into account that it's parallelized across 8 CPU cores.
I agree, and disagree.

I agree that it limits the usage of the tool in a polygot environment. I disagree it's a downside.

The absence of an intermediary language does give some benefits to the first class citizen (in this case, Typescript).

However, there are some other developments [1] which attempt to make the Typescript type system an IDL to allow for better interop.

> The article says that the main cause of poverty is the rising of prices, which is precisely Milei’s obsession.

No, the article says nothing of the kind. The only thing it says even roughly directly about poverty (though using slightly different words) is that the mechanism by which Milei’s policies are reining in prices is by causing poverty: “…as new libertarian President Javier Milei’s austerity drive squeezes shoppers, helping rein in grocery price rises.”
Bikes, especially e-bikes, go routinely around 40mph and share the road with huge chunks of metal (cars) that go even quicker. You head will cave in if you hit the ground or get hit by a car at these speeds. You really don’t see the need for a helmet?

Drivers in modern cars also wear “helmets” btw. The car (roll cage and airbags) is specifically designed to fulfill the exact same purpose.
"Some people are commuting eight to 10 miles, some only one or two miles, but they jump on their bike and go. With a traditional bike, that would never have been considered"

As a European this struck me as odd. 8 - 10 miles on an ordinary bike is considered a pretty normal bike commute. Especially as Ohio is pretty flat right?
>The difference is that a fexpr arguments are not evaluated before it's called

What's funny is that the actual lambda calculus allows multiple reduction strategies, including lazy evaluation. So I guess the only reason to introduce this distinction is to facilitate impure code, which cares about the difference.

> The Amish aren't really about rejecting technology just to be luddites, but rather to about trying to preserve their traditions and culture. One of the ways they do that is to avoid adopting new things (technologies, processes, etc) until the community leadership agrees to it.

Neither feels right to me. The Luddites and Amish share a common thread, which is that of ownership and control and ability to set one's own course. I don't think the Luddites agreed that preserving traditions and culture was what drove them. They wanted mechanization to serve us all, to not be used to control them. They resisted the mechanization of the human spirit. The Amish have their own culture & tradition, but I think again what's afoot here is also in part about control & ownership, at least as much as it is tradition & culture.

To call this just tradition & culture ignores & skips over what's really at stake, which is control & ownership. Whether we have the ability to use technology on our own footing, or whether it is an injected force that shapes and molds us. Is tech soft and malleable, or is it hard & unyielding, forcing humanity to change itself?
I'd argue the long term fixed preservation of knowledge outdoes almost every other invention.

The value of being able to have a book you distribute which describes how to do all those other things, is immense.
That Eleven Magic Words article got me totally hooked on his writing. I found it very powerful too. There's so much of our society that I know nothing about, and he sheds so much light on it. I feel like he tells you the truth.

How should a public defender behave? He's doing what his job is supposed to be.
Too young to have been there, and too young not to take that type of progress that came from Bell Labs for granted, - I now realize that 20th century progress came, not from natural competition, but from the strong forcing function of utility-guided free research.

After 20 years of hoping for a Bell Labs to magically show up again, I now work to emulate this culture but with a focus on energy systems that has the same characteristics as combustion engines but with 10x power/energy-density (and zero emissions).

If this resonates with anyone here, feel free to reach out.
You're significantly more likely to injure your head on a bike than in a car without a helmet.

In a world where bikes had crumple space, seat belts, and didn't fall over, it might be different.
This really isn’t that surprising, each Amish community has its own rules and almost all adopt/reject rules based on how it impacts their church and relationship with god. For instance many Amish drive around trucks for work. But they’ll have rules limiting it to picking up supplies, many even have cell phones.

That said, other communities reject all forms of modern “comforts”. Medicine, cars, electricity, manufactured foods, etc.

The Amish community is pretty large, hundreds of thousands.

It’s not surprising some would adopt e-scooters.

My favorite amish interaction was asking why one had a wagon full of maybe 20 containers cheese balls. Apparently, it was allowed and their entire community loved them, but it was a 20 mile ride to town so they buy in bulk (this community usually rejected almost everything, so kind of surprising)
We all like to believe this, but practically it’s not always true. With enough resources you can make a significant part of the population act in your interests and against their own. Now I won’t get into the argument that each and every soul is able to reason and defend their interests at all times or whether if they did what you pushed them to do, it’s because your interests were in fact already aligned, there are countless examples to the contrary.
So if you, as a foreign entity, can exert your will on a democracy this directly, yup, I’d ban you.
A very interesting example of this is the eruv in Golder's Green in North London[1] which is a thin wire which apparently converts outside areas into a private space, allowing observant orthodox Jews to do things on the Sabbath they would not otherwise do. There are proposals for a couple more of these in North London.

As someone who is not religious at all I find it fascinating.

TIL that in "aurora australis" both words come from the same PIE root meaning "dawn" [1]. After an hour down this rabbit hole I now also know that English "east" is related to the latin "auster" ("south") [2] through the same root. Then the words "aurum" [3] and "air" [4][5] seem to fall into the same bucket too, as long as you can trust the linguistics and the quality of wiktionary texts. These two lists of derived terms are fascinating: [6][7].
