A long time ago, I wrote IrisGL code for the mathematician George Francis, who made mathematical visualization his life's work. He published this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Topological_Picturebook, which is worth a look, and he was forever sketching Reimann manifolds on scraps of paper with a fountain pen. Which is quite a trick. I kick myself for not hanging onto one.

He maintains what for me is a very nostalgic old-internet webpage at https://new.math.uiuc.edu. There are links at the bottom to web versions of his computer animations.

Edit: If you do click on the animations, make sure to try the different commands like "morph" and "skin".

Now try sending to an at&t iPhone. By your experience it seems that Apple is limiting iOS-iOS image size, to promote iMessage. That's inherently not a bad thing, and wouldn't matter if iMessage wasn't a platform gatekeeping/discrimination tool. I say discrimination because of the GenZ opinion on blue/green bubbles.

Arguably if everyone pirated everything it wouldn't be good for the games industry, but objectively piracy is good for the industry. It acts as competition to encourage companies to improve their service (see: gabe newel, "Piracy is a service problem"), it preserves historical games that companies otherwise would just delete, leaving nobody ever able to play them. It's good.

I do quite a lot of adhoc/exploratory programming to query and transform data then jq is very convenient as it works very well with "deep" data structures and the language itself it very composable.

To debug in jq you can use the debug function to prints to stderr, ex: "123 | debug | ..." or "{a:123, b:456} | debug({a}) | ... " only prints value of a "{a:123}"
> Despite efforts to support a community-led governance model…

They don't say so explicitly, but it looks like the community-led open source governance model is gone too? Not already discussed on this thread I think.

In 2020 when antirez stepped down, Redis the company explained:

> "As Salvatore steps back from maintaining Redis, the project’s scale can no longer be managed as a BDFL-style project," explained Gottlieb and Agra. "We see this as an opportunity for Redis to adopt a new model that, hopefully, will promote more teamwork and structure and let us scale up its development and maintenance processes."

> As the Redis Open Source Governance page explains, the project aims "to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible" and toward that end has adopted a Code of Conduct, as many other open source projects have already done.

—https://redis.io/docs/about/governance/

It looks like the "Redis Open Source Governance page" used to be at https://redis.io/docs/about/governance/ ?

Currently 404.

Last scraped by archive.org in October. https://web.archive.org/web/20231030181609/https://redis.io/...

It explained there is a "core team". Not all of whom worked for Redis the company, although largely controlled by Redis the company. So I guess it wasn't exactly community-controlled before, but it's notable there is no longer an "open source governance" model.

antirez's good-bye blog post says:

> I leave Redis in the hands of the Redis community… I’ll just leave Yossi and Oran the task of understanding how to interface with the rest of the Redis developers to find a sustainable development model… I believe I’m not just leaving Redis in the hands of a community of expert programmers, but also in the hands of people who care about the legacy of the community spirit of Redis.

You definitely could! Funnily enough, I have a function named "justBooks()" [1] that filters the Readwise export to just book type tags, but you could use the entire export, or whatever upstream method you want. I think much like journaling, every one's use case will be catered to their own tasks/quotes/ideas, but allow me to share centralized advice. You'll definitely need: 1) a database that supports vectors, I use Postgres 2) a low friction way to get your "new" highlights from your reading practice, I use Readwise 3) an llm to "cache" transformations [2]. This transformation does an insane amount of work, and takes it to the next level in terms of utility, I wouldn't skip it.

I've always wondered if the "hard productive way" as understood by conventional wisdom (using VIM, using a language like APL) is actually more productive.

For this topic, I have in mind two exercises:

First, get people to nominate "experts" in a language, and assign them a straightforward task, and see who is actually faster using their native environments with code completion, language servers, etc. by systematically running these trials.

Second, get people untutored in each language of similar experience, randomly assign them to a language, give them a not short but not long period of time, then do a similar exercise as above.

The first has problems with assuring there is skill balance between the groups, but would I think tell you about how productive one can be in each language.

The second would have good causal inference properties, but probably not tell you about the downstream effects of learning something hard with great rewards (e.g., vim or emacs).

I'd bet there are marginal gains to APL (or vim) but probably nothing that matters in long-term productivity.

However, I do think people underrate how fun it can be to "get good" at things like vim or APL, and I think that has really positive knock-on effects.
I agree, I think markdown would be a nice compromise between plain text and ugly HTML.

I’m too unfamiliar with Xcode to know much about it. Do you need it to release software for macs?

I’m not sure how Apple gets away with forcing people to pay $99/yr to be able to let people install software without getting a warning. I guess it’s a minor issue. I have added a few installs to my “yes I really want to use this software” list on my m1 air, but I still think it’s a little bit silly. It’s obviously some sort of security feature, but Apple isn’t my mother.
I have the same policy. I list maximum of ten recent years on my resume and leave the other 20 off. When a past role “ages out” I just delete it. In this environment it’s at best a neutral signal, at worst it counts against you. I took all dates and years off mine too, so you can’t guess how old I am by knowing my university graduation year.

> I think that laptops are not good for development. They are great in mobility and convenience, and this argument might outweigh everything else for some people. I accept that. But still, a desktop monitor + external keyboard are always better than a laptop. There might be other reasons for not buying a monitor, but having one, I hope, no one would argue it’s a superior dev environment.

100%! If you look at the image below this statement, the ergonomic disaster of craning your neck down to view the screen ("tech neck") is another reason to use monitors instead of laptops.

Unfortunately, and somewhat ironically, the 4K monitors the author recommends are not good for macOS due to them not supporting native retina scaling above 1080p. The only monitors that do are 5K displays, but neither of them can do 120Hz.
So what's a person like us to do?

Yes, and now browsers have mitigations which make timing attacks harder. This bug also has a key dependency on being able to trigger a crypto operation in a local process, which isn’t easy to do from a browser sandbox or in general on a Mac.

The angle I’d worry about is something like a password manager, but most of those already have an authentication step and I’d be surprised if they didn’t have rate-limiting.
Yes, a hotel room should be checked regularly, at a minimum of once per week if not more frequently. And that should have always been the case due to pest control, not due to possibility of a crazy shooter.

In any case, I would classify a guest refusing to open the door for a room check as outline in the rental agreement as an emergency (which should simply state once every x days or per management’s discretion).

It could be up to hotel management to go in without police, but I would certainly not give any line level employee an emergency key card to carry around at all times for that scenario. And I would also expect a manager to take on that task themselves.

I don’t think there are any 5G-NTN (non-terrestrial network) devices or operators right now for “regular” 5G.

There’s the Motorola Defy 2, which can send short messages via satellite (I think using an IoT version of 5G), but the manufacturer/operator apparently just went bankrupt.

In Europe or Asia, you could get something compatible with Thuraya; they’ve been around for a while and offer satellite-connected smartphones (although it’s a proprietary standard, not 5G).

Other than that, Starlink plans to add LTE coverage in some countries on regular terrestrial frequencies, i.e. the ones your phone very likely already supports.
> can't stupid people be booted from a mailing list?

Of course. If you're the BOFH of the whole thing, you don't even need to get anyone else's approval.

But if you do want the community to weigh in on who's "stupid" and who's not, then suddenly you might discover that three out of your ten members actually think that the person in question is a genius and is holding the whole thing together. Four members might think that booting anyone out at all runs counter to the purpose of your mailing list. Two people will privately email you and the "stupid" person, trying to somehow play both sides for no reason you can comprehend. One person will say that if anyone gets kicked out, they'll leave two.

And all those numbers may overlap!

> Why does one company apparently need to own all the land and treat it as a master development?

Likely because they wanted that full control and had the wealth to achieve it. They may want this for several reasons, like because generally people like having control, or maybe because they thought this had the fewest barriers to success.

Getting changes voted in can be difficult, even if the changes are objectively good: a) a small number of people are engaged enough to vote on municipal issues, b) sometime people are just suspicious of any change whatsoever and so reflexively vote to keep things the same, c) almost always there will be some people(s) who will not benefit from the change and will fight very hard to sabotage/corrupt/discredit it.

Very interesting to see how the noise of jet engines declined significantly. While reading the article I kept thinking, it feels like investing in noise reduction would really pay off, and then a few paragraphs later, there it was.

I'm also intrigued by small airports, like the one in Rio, Santos Dumont. The shortest runways in the world.

If you could reduce noise and control pollution, it is very nice to have an airport accessible by mass transit, like in Portland, Oregon. Feels like a sweet spot for government intervention.

I don't see why this needs any long-winded explanation.

LLMs generate their output one word at a time (and don't themselves even know what that word will be, since it's randomly sampled from the output probabilities the model generates).

Chain-of-Thought simply let's the model see it's own output as an input and therefore build upon that. It lets them break a complex problem down into a series of simpler steps which they can see (output becomes input) and build upon.

It's amazing how well these models can do without CoT ("think step-by-step") when they are just ad-libbing word by word, but you can see the limitations of it if you ask for a bunch of sentences starting with a certain type of word, vs ending with that type of word. They struggle with the ending one because there is little internal planning ahead (none, other than to the extent to which the current output word limits, or was proscribed by, the next one).
Lots of things pre-date their users: plates, wheels, farming, aeroplanes. The lack of choice in the matter isn’t in itself a reason to discount the phenomenon. The nature of the phenomenon is more important. In the case of government (or lack), its nature should inform its form and behaviour.

My earlier point was more like “what is this government doing if not looking after those it represents?” If its not doing as it should, we should change it.

(I’m open to ideas of anarchistic self determination. Most “good” implementations seem to have some form of coalition and/or committee-with-sphere-of-responsibility which looks like government if you squint so I’m a bit hazy how you do it. Happy to learn)

With TikTok Under Fire, Brands That Rely on It Worry
Using location hash minimizes the risk of accidental activation by automated scanners if the URL is logged somehow, as it requires using a browser for JavaScript to read it.
That's the way it's been in a few parts of the US for a couple of years now and it works OK for the actual community. People who want to purchase it can do so with a little bit of digging to find out where to obtain it, but there's no stores, signs, or advertising making it obvious. Prices are lower and availability is higher than before it was legalized. Police pretty much don't make any effort to stop public consumption, which is still illegal.

This happened because of the inability of legislators to agree on how to implement a retail framework. They had enough agreement to legalize but can't agree on how much to tax it, how many stores to allow, how to decide who gets to run the stores, and whether or not large corporations should be allowed to participate. So for the time being the state loses out on tax revenue, but pretty much everyone is fine with the law being illogical because the users can use without fear, and the non-users don't see it.
