I wish there was a way to syn from Apple Notes to Obsidian (or maybe there is?) Apple Notes is just faster and more convenient for daily notes, but I want Obsidian to be my repository, so I want some mechanism of automatically syncing certain notes or importing at some intervals.
ensuring that exactly the same number of instructions are executed each time a thread is scheduled

AFAIK this is possible by (mis)using performance counters.
Breakers were design to be installed by the average Joe, as are drier legs. The failure mechanism of an improperly installed breaker is that it doesn't work properly, or it gracefully melts in a metal box which is required by law/code to handle that exact case of graceful melting and small plastic fires.

The tools and technique required for dealing with stack of little fire bombs, that explode if poked, bent, or overheated, sometimes at a much later date, while sitting in your garage/living room, has a much more serious failure mechanism. And, more than that, most DIY battery packs I've seen involve lack of funds and Aliexpress cells. In the RC hobby community, everyone knows that you store DIY battery packs, especially those made with cheap Aliexpress cells, somewhere where they're free to spontaneously combust without consequence.

Battery packs are scary. People who understand that have better outcomes [1] than people who don't [2] (tbf, these are Lipo)

If your scenario involves entirely air-gapped machines, this solution won't be feasible. However, from a financial standpoint, you can access Microsoft Office for free by using its web version. This version includes many features found in the desktop variants and may suffice for numerous use cases.

Personally, I find the perpetual licenses less appealing because they are costly, particularly when used on multiple devices. For instance, with a perpetual license, you're typically limited to installing it on just a desktop and a laptop. In contrast, subscriptions offer greater flexibility in this respect, accommodating usage across several devices.
> this would be a disaster

It depends how you do it. For example, if you ask their opinion and then carry out that opinion without thinking about it, it would probably not yield optimum results, because humans almost always hallucinate (our culture teaches them this behavior). But with patient guidance I believe it is possible for people to improve over time.

As it is, we are at the mercy of bureaucrats with questionable ethics and goals, who also also always hallucinate (again, because of culture), so this is not a fantastic position to insist on maintaining either.

It has been well demonstrated that under very specific conditions, humans can achieve a state of high coherence. We've only managed this in a few select domains so far, because of hard work and counter-cultural attention to detail, and mainly: because a few individuals thought it seemed like a good idea, and made it happen against the odds. I personally think we can make it happen again, but not if no one tries.

> now, people can't imagine

Not quite. In fact, people cannot stop imagining, the problem is that they do not have control over it, or realize they are doing it. But we are in luck: we have children and teenagers, who have yet to fall victim to the hypnosis/Maya that has spread throughout the adult world. They could teach adults how to do it in a controlled manner, as we could in the past, or ideally even better (children and teenagers have never had enough say in decisions if you ask me, they are waaaaaaaay better than adults at specific forms and domains of thinking).

> asking for peoples opinion on stuff in lots of cases is just going to...

Do you still believe this?

I know they've spent millions on car reduction schemes, but it's mostly wasted money. If you want people to see cycling as a viable alternative, then make it a viable alternative.

I used to live in London, and now live somewhere where I cycle anywhere that's under 15Km — because it's viable (and more enjoyable!). London is not that, and they haven't done anything to make it that.

Painting bits of the road doesn't magically give you a "cycle network".
If the repo was public for a while (say 2 years), and then became private, then the code in the Stack for your repo must be 5 years old.

If on the other hand, it's tracked to the latest commit, that is a different scenario.
An expropriation of this kind and magnitude by the US government would be historic. Has it happened before? I'm curious.

I know there's talk about TikTok either selling to a USA owner or leaving, which seems pretty monumental too. Not quite an expropriation since the state wouldn't be taking control of it, but somewhat similar.
I know exactly the thread you are talking about.

So they did choose a location - the lake, in response to the center being a bad location.
yeah, the default mode of human transportation is to drive a single occupancy private automobile, for every trip, everywhere, including in dense urban environments, and anyone who thinks otherwise is brainwashed by the globalists

> veteran top litigator who handled the situations that reached the ear of the ACLU

I think you assume that getting in contact with lawyers from the ACLU is much much harder than it is, either that or that the ACLU only gets involved in sufficiently high-profile cases but nonetheless false. If you're a company that deals with sensitive data and have a legitimate worry about getting NSLs you could probably get a meeting with the relevant legal/policy expert just by shooting them a polite email about it.

Experts in a particular niche field not wanting to talk about their passion, impossible challenge. "Wait, woah, you also care about this?! You wanna testify in the committee hearing for the bill our team is working on?"

Yes this is corporate welfare, and sadly it's probably necessary. We need to be able and willing to blow the TSMC fabs if China invades Taiwan, and being able to credibly make that threat decreases the chance that they will invade.
All of the comments here where the commenter found their repos say either "it only has the public ones" or "it has some private ones from x years ago and i don't quite remember if they were ever public".

So it seems probable this is a case of repo owners misremembering.
Yep - same. My public repos show but not my private one.

Which bit? The archiving on SoftwareHeritage, the gathering of that data into the Stack or the subsequent training of models?
OpenAI GPTs Store was supposed to be the "iPhone moment" which it changes everything and upends the App Store. ...Or so I was told by the AI bros.

So what really happened? Most likely little quality control, garbage copy cats running around and now there is an insurmountable amount of spam.

That is nothing like the quality of the Apple App Store.

GNOME seems to be least buggy DE and gets out of my way when doing things. A nice bonus is that it also looks and feels good.

I used to use plasma but it was just too buggy for me. Just today a random user realized that installing a theme from the built-in theme selection thingy deleted all his data...

I have some hope for cosmic DE as it seems like they try to emulate GNOME's workflow with some twists.
They don’t make mobile chips for phones…

They have tried a few times, but were too power hungry and didn’t have the volume to justify it, so they went back to their bread and butter
Given that GNOME has quite a few stuff that they shift into extensions, even distro defaults make use of them.
Why not ship the potatoes in?
This is likely an age thing. I suspect you're without a family? I think what he's getting at is that we cycle everywhere, except when we can't, which matches my experience.

How do I check this? I found a repo I'm pretty sure was always private on there that I deleted a while back. https://github.com/johncoates/JCBootstrap

There's no archived version on archive.org at least.
My understanding is that the equivalence principle only applies to a specific, local region of space time, and this region could be arbitrarily small.

Tidal forces are only measurable across something with size, by measuring a difference between one point and another.

Even if your body is being spaghettified, an arbitrarily small region of your body still can't tell that it's under anything but freefall.
No Google can't just buy the winner.

Google purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion (and I recall that seemed overpriced at the time).

The way VC works for private companies now is completely different than in 2006.
I kind of wonder if the reason this seems to be true is that emergent systems are just able to go a lot farther into much more complex design spaces than any system a human mind is capable of constructing.
> Modern cars with functioning mufflers or electric powertrains... aren't actually that loud.

Until their tires hit asphalt. Cars have to go very slowly for the engine to be louder than the tires, and that noise is a function of weight, and electric cars are heavier than equivalent ICE cars.

I've noticed a lot of college aged kids in particular becoming much more anti-piracy. About textbooks even. I've heard reports of people being kicked off of private discord servers for sharing a link to the course textbook.

Somehow the PR campaign has gained some traction. I hope it's not a foothold.

>It's not about just ad revenue though, is it? Many thousands, if not millions of sites rely entirely on Google Search for their revenue.

I mean these are kind of tangled together. Chatbots actively dilute real sites from what we are seeing, by feeding back into their fake into googles index in order to capture some of the ad revenue. This leads to the "Gee Google is really sucking" meme we see more and more often. The point is, Google had an absolute cash cow and the march towards GenAI AGI threatens to interrupt that model just as much as it promises to to make the AGI winner insanely rich.
It has been for me for a while now, it comes packaged on a desktop VM like VMWare Workstation, Virtual Box, and now WSL.

The only I still bother are classical desktop like towers and NUCs, on laptops I have less headaches with a VM.

Then for everything else, my distributions are Android/Linux, WebOS/Linux and whatever Sony decided to use on their Blue Ray players.
By “archived there even after you deleted from github” I believe they mean “archived on SoftwareHeritage and continue to exist there even after you deleted from github”.
god the language in that opt-out link is patronizing as hell. do AI people just assume everyone is happy to be a cog in their monetization scheme?

For me the size of the core of Paris what make it different. It's still comparatively small, but you can walk for hours through streets with shops and restaurants. In other European cities I feel like I hit much faster the suburbs.
I do think, however, that "repo no longer public" should be treated as an opt-out signal.
How can you tell the laptop products are low volume?

Meteor Lake appears to be in mass production and shipping in a plethora of laptops worldwide. There doesn't appear to have any availability problems.

Care to check them on gharchive? I bet they used to be public.
If you're interested in i3/sway but want something that "just works"- have you checked out Regolith?

I used to daily drive it and was a big fan- it's basically i3 + gnome for stuff like settings etc. So you get a nice simple tiling window manager, but don't have to install something new whenever you want to (eg) get Bluetooth working.

Rage quitting or issues with rage WHEN quitting? I can imagine a game-addicted bird might get upset if you turn off the tablet or remove them from the gaming area. Similar to a toddler throwing a tantrum if you turn off a movie they are watching.
Interesting, I don't develop for Android so I don't know the details in this space. Surprising to learn that the Android OS layer is 100% Java. In terms of a platform, I was more referring to the mass adoption of Kotlin for Android app development. 95% of the top 1,000 Android apps are written in Kotlin and adoption overall is > 50% according to their overview page https://kotlinlang.org/docs/android-overview.html

IMO those numbers create a lot of staying power for the language.

This very issue has been bugging me for years on different MBP models. I dread contacting support for getting a similar treatment.
The software heritage sent me an email they were going to steal copies of my software. I think they assumed because it was published as a git repo they had unlimited rights to steal, reproduce, sell, etc my copyrighted work.

To quote the email they sent me:

"The mission of Software Heritage is to collect, preserve and share all the publicly available source code: https://www.softwareheritage.org"

So they're telling me their intent is to reproduce (share) my work, just because it was publicly available.

Upon my reply they did offer to cancel the request, but also told me they are facilitating the storage of my code for users private theft

"
"Add forge now" requests are submitted by Software Heritage users who think
that a forge is worth being archived.

After a careful examination of your arguments, we acknowledge that your forges may not be archived, so we won't process their ingestion, and close this add forge now request. However, we cannot prevent a publicly available from being archived by anyone using our "Save code now" feature
https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory... shows a "snapshot date" of "11 August 2015, 07:28:00 UTC" - any chance it was public on that date such that the crawler could have accessed it?
I'm curious how they get around licenses. For example, I have repos that show up in The Stack. Some have licenses that require inclusion of the copyright in any source re-use or redistribution.

IANAL, but it seems like inclusion in the data set and subsequent distribution without the copyright notice would be a violation.
This is way bigger than trade policies. Intel was the world leader in chip-making until fairly recently. Steve Jobs wanted them to build the iPhone chips because they were a generation or two ahead of any other fab in the world. Today, Intel is no longer leading the world in chip fab process.

Intel at the time wasn't interested in fabing ARM chips, and the rest is history.

Intel and American fabs fell behind for a number of reasons. Some of it is tied to our education system and the kinds of people we are training. Some of it is probably related to Intel turning their nose up at the iPhone chip making, losing billions upon billions of money they could have put into R&D. Some of it is a story of American corporate culture not innovating enough.
I find this odd... when I (American) have traveled to Germany the last few years, the people are quite happy to talk to you, and are very patient if you do not speak their native language.
Sure, but there's only so much you can do to avoid such risks. We control the risks that we can control; the rest is up to luck.
And would that extend to anyone that ever cloned it? No, that's ridiculous.
Orcas are smart enough to give each other distinct names and seem to understand the concept of verbs/nouns when identifying human words[1]. They could very well be smarter than us, but they'd never dominate the planet technologically: their flippers have no evolutionary path to developing fingers and thumbs.

[1] Some people point out that we've never learned orca language but they've learned ours. This is true, but it's also true that orca scientists have never kidnapped human children and intentionally tried to teach them orca language. So it's more of a poetic comparison than a scientific one.

>You have to use something with proper augmentations (like ComfyUI or Fooocus(which runs on ComfyUI))

Yeah, comfy was given a reference design of the sdxl model beforehand so it would be supported when sdxl was released. I should probably switch to comfy, but I don't touch the tech very frequently as I don't have a practical use case besides the coolness factor.
I'm not pretending people don't have their own lines, but I think they're fundamentally wrong to say the line exists within the space of "doing unequivocally good things for poor people [which admittedly may have negative downstream effects, as do all actions]"

> That's why it's an important thing to consider when the government promises to do something or provide a service. It can go away at any time, and people who became reliant on it will suffer it's loss.

Sure, it's something to think about, but it's not a realistic impediment to enacting a good policy. If the worst thing you can say about a policy is that "it might end, and that would be bad" you should do that policy. Besides, government programs tend to get institutionalized and are often much harder to undo than to do.

Most people have gaps somewhere in their knowledge. I learned very on, as a general superstition, to always try and batch things that dealt with the world without like file writes, allocations, network requests etc. But for years I had no idea what a syscall even was.
Exactly this. Obviously I still need a car, but my day-to-day transport of choice is the bicycle.

I will say this though: You people can't drive! I've seen more car accidents in my few years here than my entire _life_ in England!
Urgh yes! As far as I understand this is all because extensions have to opt in and say "yes this works with the new gnome" or else it won't run so even if everything actually dies run fine, it won't work until an update is patched.

I do understand the gnome team wanting to guarantee a good user experience with extensions, but I can't help but think the damage caused by breaking every extension on every release is worse than some of them working unpredictably.
It's weird that they exclude GPL licensed repos, but not unlicensed repos. It seems like they would have even fewer rights with the unlicensed ones.
Well, That is awful to hear. I use an email address that is not connected with me in any other way for sites like that. I don't use my real name. I don't use that email address for anything connected to me. I assumed this was sort of standard practice for tech minded people.
Very true, but the graph I posted is initial leases only.

$12k for 6 4090 for 144GB GDDR vs $20k H100 PCIe 80GB HBM2 (price likely dropping later this year when B100 is released).

And H100 has a lot of features like async and loading directly to tensor cores not present in consumer cards.

I want to root for the little guy, but it seems the AI hardware landscape will be Nvidia for the next few years. And us GPU poors accessing it via cloud (shudders).
So... people who'd been misled into making bad decisions and were being given help because they really needed it, made you feel like you were being punished by not getting similar help you didn't really need because you were making OK money and had avoided making the same kind of mistake?

IMO, that's a really glass-half-empty way of looking at the situation.

You did good! Try to give yourself a break. People like you who didn't fall for the sleazy mortgage brokers helped limit the damage that the rest of society had to deal with. And maybe next time some society-wide con goes down, if you (or someone you love) is unlucky enough to get stung by it (because none of us are smart enough to spot the con-men 100% of the time), hopefully you (or they) will get the help that's available that time around when it is really needed.

It's readily apparent that any sufficiently useful AI/CV/ML should be deployed to solve specific, immediate, niche problems of individual people that they're willing to pay small amounts of money or assign referral commissions for:

- Product personal shopper-recommender goes out and crawls reviews and pricing to find what and where someone should buy something based on a prompt.

- Where to live.

- Where to go out.

- What to have for dinner.

- Find a plumber, carpenter, etc. and do open source due-diligence on them.

- How to optimally invest money based on circumstances, assumptions, and speculative outcome distribution.

- How to redecorate a room.

In a business context, there are many classes of problems AI can semi-automate including:

- Decision support

- Feature prioritization based on support data and social media sentiment

- Supply (inventory) and demand forecasting

- Pricing optimization
that’s a good question… There seems to be two problems.

The definition of open source depends on a license existing in a repo. Without a license it’s not legal to copy and distribute.

Public vs Private repo is a platforms issue not the code maintainers.

If a public repo does not have a license, it does not mean it free to copy and distribute.

If a private repo has an open source license like MIT, then the crawler has a right to copy and distribute that repo. Regardless if it has authorization to access the repo or not.
