Rewind to 1996.

In lieu of "do all of the shit Boeing did in 1996 before the MBA bros from MD 'The trouble with mergers' ungulate copulation magazine awards ruined everything", how about having some damn integrity, pride, and excellence rather than shipping shit. It requires effort, time, and expense to do things right the first time, while getting safety-critical processes, designs, and manufacturing wrong is immoral, unethical, probably illegal, and likely costlier in the long run.

Unfortunately, while making a site, I can't query for "does the user set special preferences" in CSS.

I use somewhat similar formula in one project to create a common baseline font size that 1) does not break with viewport size changes 2) remain legible for baseline user 3) gives good base value to scale UI elements by rem/em units.

Of course it's also a project where the user does not have a chance to mess with font size anyway for the main user, but I'd reuse the formula elsewhere.

Wish I could query the browser if the user has specific preferences, just like with "Dark mode"
Super cool stuff!
Isn't that fine though?

I was raised to believe that asking for anything more is a sign of pride and vainness.

If my work won't be recognized, than all it means that it wasn't good or useful, and asking for anything more is pride.

(Verse 1)
A long, long time ago,
I can still remember how
macOS used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance,
I could make those apps and code advance,
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February made me shiver,
With every update I'd deliver,
Bad news on the doorstep,
I couldn't take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about macOS's final stride,
But something touched me deep inside,
The day the macOS died.

(Chorus)
So, bye, bye to my dev environment high,
Drove my MacBook to the server but the server was dry,
Them good ol' boys were coding Unix and Python,
Singing, "This'll be the day that I'm cryin',
This'll be the day that I'm cryin'."

(Verse 2)
Did you write the code of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Terminal tells you so?
Now, do you believe in open source,
Can Swift save your mortal course,
And can you teach me how to code real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with Xcode,
'Cause I saw you dancing in the App Store.
You both kicked off your shoes,
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage coding hack,
With a pink MacBook and a Java stack,
But I knew I was out of luck,
The day the macOS died.

(Chorus)
I started singing, "Bye, bye to my dev environment high,
Drove my MacBook to the server but the server was dry,
Them good ol' boys were coding Unix and Python,
Singing, "This'll be the day that I'm cryin',
This'll be the day that I'm cryin'."

(Bridge)
Oh, Steve Jobs, where have you gone?
Your vision faded, lost in the dawn,
Leaving us adrift in a sea of doubt.
Can't we turn back the hands of time?
Restore the macOS of its prime,
And bring back the days we can't live without?

(Chorus)
But it's bye, bye to the macOS we knew,
No more creating our dreams anew,
Them good ol' days now just a distant cry,
Singing, "This'll be the day that we sigh,
This'll be the day that we sigh."

(Outro)
So let's raise a toast to what once was,
To the macOS that inspired us,
Though it's gone, its memory will never die.
Singing, "This'll be the day that we sigh,
This'll be the day that we sigh."

A lot of teacher salary problems come from idle retirees outvoting children on personalised social care vs mass school funding. There is no reason for children to have absolutely no representation in government.
And 50C is too low. That is minimum temperature of the heated tap water(Legionella and other diseases). And preferably you want some higher. And then as distance increases there are losses and other people using the heat. So temperature you need is actually quite high and in very cold days can be over 100C...
Ah, OK. Then we are on the same page.

Rationalism is the rejection of the idea that knowledge needs to be gathered, rather than intuited. A rationalist, in practice, necessarily derives his worldview either starting from some gut instict (that something just has to be a certain way, because it feels that way), or from preexisting texts, be it a religious scripture, or a scientific theory that is treated as inviolable.

You only have so many things you can do at once.

From our perspective dev container seemed to be what our target audience was already using; as its supported by VS code natively and also as almost all OSS projects are hosted on Github, and their product Codespaces support it as well - it seemed like the logical first standard.

But as mentioned devfile, nix and flox are on the roadmap.

Reading through, this doesn't sound like a "federated wikipedia"

It sounds more like they want to implement the github fork & pull-request model of version control where currently Wikipedia uses a more SVN type of version control.

There are pros and cons to both models. However federation it is not. The mentioned controversies also seem entirely unrelated to which model you like.
Isn't there nix shell for that, and nix-direnv to activate automatically?
Well, i think a lot is just not reported any more.

As a small example (not a scandal), a local celebrity mentioned in the (local) media last week that she'd put some incorrect facts on her own wiki page in the past, but can't get them corrected any more.

I tried to suggest a useful addition onto a page recently (against knowing better), and was blocked immediately. Then I noticed others tried the same change several times already, to no avail. So i gave up, and wont bother any more. Also in the future, i wont bother. Life's too short.

Things like this happen all the time without having any visibility.

Its good to be protective, and necessary to avoid spam. But in a few encounters it felt like there are many tiny kingdoms on wikipedia being guarded by their monarchs.

Full-page zoom won already. Browsers all make it very difficult to even scale the font size without zooming the page (Firefox is the easiest, with the setting buried in a submenu as a toggle). And frankly, scaling just the fonts but leaving the rest of the layout is a bad experience: scaling just the font size often breaks the layout, particularly around interactive controls like buttons and tabs. There are two good paths to accessibility here: full-page zoom, and reader mode.

What is Character.AI doing special to have that much more engagement than other apps?
>I somehow got the impression that CRDT was stand of the art in multiple edits to a common document, and sincerely doubt that git's conflict resolution is going to be a good experience

CRDT adds automatic conflict resolution, wikis need at most, if any, manual conflict resolution, because their page editing has little need for concurrent real-time edits, it's a slower process (ironic given the meaning of wiki in Hawaiian). About git, OP tried to explain to non-wiki editors what wikis do under the hood, conflict reconciliation in wikis is vaguely similar to git but simpler, and the tech Ibis uses, paired to a design for independence prone to content rotting (every url of the federation can differ even in context about any page), makes me smell of just importing by hand or by trust edits from peers into the backing store.

Lovely idea, I'm curious to hear more about the deployment experiences.

> combining the above system with socket-activation and scale-to-zero servers

That sounds good at first, but less and less reasonable the more I think about it

First because each deployment comes with overhead, and given enough public users you will have people relying on every single version of your API, and therefore lugging around a deployment for each version. Very expensive.

Second, this micro-versioning may cause compatibility issues. What happens if someone mistakenly sends a request to a 2 year-old service, which fails to understand the new fields in the database, or sends alert emails to old addresses, or tries to use a cloud API that's not available anymore...
The Mark Williams Company and the COHERENT operating system
A problem with that is that it can be easy to make claims about unconscious, as you can be loose with how and if it can be observable. The main core of "our" (Western) philosophical, ethical, legal, artistic etc. concepts predates closer intercourse with Judaism and derived religions, whose ideas were later patched onto that system. (Modulo long term cultural diffusion in Mediterranean which was long somewhat undervalued in historiography.)

Of course seeing Enlightenment as anti-Judeochristian in principle is a misunderstanding: Kant was one of the last great philosophers to sort-of rescue monotheism in his system. Most of 'philosophes' were Deists, Rousseau trolled them by being a Calvinist. What counts for Enlightenment is justification, not genealogical provenance of the idea. Later German post-Enlightenment philosophers were much happier to be godless.

I think the main problem with Enlightenment is how it has been abandoned, and the main reason is that it is easier to organize and dominate people with a faith-based doctrine (be it a traditional religion, or mass ideology).[1] The main thing that Enlightenment has going for it is that eases the access to material truth and fruits of free inquiry and inventiveness.

Can't say what will win, in the long term. It's an interesting question about human society folding into itself vis-a-vis physical world. I think you can be forgiven for thinking that Enlightenment is now in a path to being extinguished, but on the other hand, people are still aware of it. Seeing abuses of fundamentalists in power, they have where to turn to. I myself went through that transformation from oh-so clever "seeing the limits of reason wow" youth in the neoliberal era.

Yes, everybody agrees, but you specifically responded to the statement that Poincaré and Lorentz had nothing to do with GR. You said that statement was wrong, but it looks more like you confused SR and GR, which are two entirely different beasts.

I think it depends what you want. Diffs are better if you want to review changes and intelligently merge them.

CDRT is better if you want there to be just one document that everyone is editing at the same time, with merging being an automatic process and the rare non-sensical merge being acceptable.

Domain Expertise is an absolute necessity to come up with Rigorous Specifications and in particular; for Safety Critical Systems.

If they can be done by a single person (whatever be his role name) all the more better but usually for Safety Critical (and highly specialized) Systems that is not possible and hence you need two (or more) people.

> An "exploration-based reward function" wouldn't be enough. Because this would assume that exploration has (more or less) deterministic outcomes. But given the dice in Nethack it actually does not! You can do "everything right" and still die in almost 50% of the cases. How to infer any meaningful "world model" from such events? Imho you can't.

You can actually do that very well. When they train LLM on text, the same prefix doesn't always lead to the same next token. And they handle that just fine.

Btw, Nethack isn't actually random: the dice use a pretty broken PRNG, and 'luck manipulation' is a thing. A computer might not actually care about the difference between spoiler-y tactics that are legible to humans, and PRNG manipulation.

(The state of the PRNG is a relatively small number of bits. Various actions can advance the PRNG, without causing any other change in the world. So you can basically make sure that you are always maximally lucky, if you can somehow recover the hidden PRNG state from the output of the program, and then model it.)
I just copied it from wikipedia. The german version of the byte article has a table for this.
Nix comes with confusion built in though, in the official getting started guide flakes are described as controversial, their history explained, criticisms described, only to ultimately say you have to decide for yourself.

Imagine if the Arch or Ubuntu installer halted, told you neutrally / BBC style criticism-focussed even about systemd, and then asked you how to proceed: systemd or sysvinit?
It's deeper than that: the vast majority of people believe in science in the exact same way as the used to believe in Christianism. Try asking around for bulletproof proofs of the Earth's roundness. Or communicating the idea that time and space aren't really distinct entities.

Side note, but horoscopes aren't fully to be thrown away[0]. IIRC the main idea was that the month of birth is/was related to seasonal human activities, or illnesses seasonality, which would have a tendency to affect newborns/newborns-to-be strongly.

It seems you are right. The OPS documentation mentions that you can deploy it on bare metal, but this is a recent comment [0] that contradicts that .

right now we don't have any plans to support bare metal
installs like this as that would imply a bunch of other
mgmt related tooling that would not be present
(eg: start/stop the server, configure networking,
deploy a new one, access rights, etc.) it also breaks
the assumptions we have that it is only being deployed
as a vm which means having to support a ton of random

It seems like they make some distinction between true bare metal and somewhat bare metal, which is highly confusing.

The problem is hardly limited to nutrition.

Even here in this article, I am looking at the graphs they present as evidence of the thesis. Maybe I'm crazy but looking at the line for male early-onset incidence I don't see anything new or worrying in that graph. If we ignore the puzzling "estimated" section, it wanders up and down. It's not currently the highest it's been in the recent past, and increases in e.g. the 90s were followed by decreases later. The rates in women meanwhile have been roughly the same since 1995 after a small increase in the early 90s. This is presumably why they pick 1990 as their base year, as otherwise they would not be able to report a big percentage change.

So the story here is really being carried by the estimated/modeled future incidence, but it's not a good idea to pay attention to public health modeling. This is epidemiology, a field that we learned during COVID is not robust or honest. These people constantly claim to be able to predict the future incidence of disease, are constantly being proven wrong by miles, always in the direction of over-predicting incidence, and their response is to just ignore that fact, attack their critics and carry on as if everything is fine. Basic methodological errors are everywhere and nobody inside the field cares.

So we look at this prediction and immediately notice a couple of things. Firstly, it's a prediction of the past. Where is the actual cancer data for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023? The source they use only runs a survey every two years, and the last was in 2021 but appears to not report cancer in that round for some reason. There certainly are figures for cancer available for many countries but they don't deign to verify their predictions against that data. Replacing data that exists with modeled guesses is completely typical for epidemiology, I've seen that dozens of times.

The second problem is that their estimate isn't a simple extrapolation of whatever was happening previously. Instead it has an immediate sharp upswing at the moment the model begins and then a very steep climb quite unlike anything seen in the past. This is surely an artifact of the rather complicated statistical methodology they picked. When we look at Figure 5 in their source paper we see that the CIs of this prediction are at any rate enormous (and presented confusingly of course).

Is there anything to worry about here? Probably not. In other contexts the steady rates of cancer over the past 30 years are used to debunk claims about mobile phones causing tumors. If there was genuinely a steady and large rise in cancers over a long period of time they would be able to show that clearly using actual collected data, instead of relying on their usual bag of tricks, and the conversation around mobile phones would look very different.

Reminder to those who might think to justify Israel's enthic cleansing campaign by citing the actions of Hamas: The last election in Gaza was in 2006, 18 years ago. They did not receive a majority of votes then, and the majority of Palestinians in Gaza today were too young or not even born to have voted in 2006. Collective punishment of the Gazan people for the actions of Hamas is simply reprehensible.
