You don’t have to log in with O365 and office and windows can stand entirely alone and there is no requirement to be cloud connected. It all still works offline as a classic AD setup. You have to be an enterprise customer though. I literally have one of these on my desk. This is not a problem for state level organisations unless they are throughly incompetent at infrastructure provision.

As for libreoffice I throughly dislike it compared to MS software. I have opened reproducible bugs against it in bugzilla that have been there for over a decade with no solutions. I got fed up in the end and just walked.

Saying that I dislike office packages entirely. They are a Swiss Army knife. Lots of mediocre tools in an inconvenient format but simple enough for the lowest denominator of poorly trained staff to use. We can and should do better. I managed to switch entirely over to LaTeX document authoring and dedicated software to replace spreadsheets (all open source tools). The only remaining spreadsheet I have is personal finance which I can’t find a better solution for.

As for cloud we just send PDFs around and collab on GitHub so O365 is dead for us anyway.

AI Meeting Assistants in 2024
I had same feeling. I have been using AI summarizers more and more for these type of articles/posts. Though I haven't checked the summary quality, here is what I got from Kagi Summarizer:

The passage discusses the author's experience with the growing sense of competition and obligation around reading and book consumption. It criticizes the way platforms like Goodreads have turned reading into a quantifiable task, with people feeling pressure to read a certain number of books per year. The author argues that reading should be about the experience and personal enjoyment, not about keeping up with others or hitting reading goals. The passage encourages readers to step away from the social media side of reading and not worry about the "right" way to read. It emphasizes that the value of reading is not quantifiable and that people should read at their own pace without external pressure.
I mean I suppose it depends on how you want to limit your server setup, and what limitations you have (i.e. CGNAT). Considering I regularly share things on my server with others, and I let other people who are less technically inclined use my server, having to use a VPN service to access it would be extremely suboptimal for that. I also don't want to have to host a proxy server out on a public provider.
> The article goes on to ask the question "Why isn’t every card a rewards card?", meaning why doesn't every card pay cash back, but I think the more interesting question is why every card isn't branded in a way that makes the issuer more money. Why do they bother to issue cards where they get paid less? Why not brand every card as a "Signature Preferred" and then pocket the money instead of giving it to the less discerning customers?

I didn't see any other comments actually answer the question, so I'll try my hand at this. (Caveat: I've never worked in the finance industry professionally, but I consider myself one of the Redditors mentioned in the article.)

From my layperson understanding, banks undertake not to issue more than a certain percentage of cards as "Signature Preferred" cards, and there is a minimum credit limit required to open such card accounts.

The Chase Sapphire Reserve mentioned in the article is a Visa Infinite card, and Chase requires a $10,000 credit limit to open it. Chase doesn't give $10,000 credit limits to just about anyone, and considering how flexible the US is with identity and income requirements, Chase needs to be more stringent with their underwriting and verification processes to avoid issuing such cards to people who are more likely to default.

From further research, it looks like the Visa Core Rules do offer guidelines [1], for anyone interested:

The bank would incur additional costs to satisfy the requirements to issue higher tier cards. For Visa Infinite, banks are required to offer benefits like "Priority assistance and convenience", "Exclusive privileges and rewards", and "Safety and security", and in some countries, concierge services. Visa Signature cards must have 24/7 customer support.

The PDF is a gold mine for anyone interested in learning more about the various tiers.

The recommendation to not do widespread PSA testing is extremely controversial. Also, as an individual, you should make decisions for yourself, not based on some population-wide study.

I think you should always do regular PSA testing, but don't automatically follow it up with a biopsy if it's not that high (just slightly elevated). Instead, do a second-line test like a 4Kscore test, and/or look at your PSA velocity, or look at PHI (Prostate Health Index) scores. Basically, the assumption that "anything over a certain cutoff should be biopsied" is dumb and they should actually just do second-line tests before biopsies, for borderline scores.

I feel like the core idea of sci-fi is - imagine the world, but with some specific thing different. What would the consequences be?

Le guin does it with social issues. Someone like Greg Egan does it with laws of physics. The formula is both oddly similar yet totally different.

P.s. i'm not sure i would consider Clarke exactly a contemporary of Le Guin. They certainly heavily overlap, but i think Clarke kind of belongs to the previous generation - at least stylistically wise.

My remark is not about the quality of college education. It's about his mindset.

You don't need a college education to read research articles, books and journals. But you certainly need an open mind and some discipline to not try to reinvent the wheel all the time. You need to learn about the state of the art in your field.

Some ideas and algorithms are proven and battle tested, and people should learn about them, before trying to create something new and claim it is much better than the old thing. This is very noticeable in some fields like cryptography.

His modus operandi certainly seems to be on the other extreme, everything old is bad and the new thing around the corner is going to change everything. Which causes a lot of people who believe him to collectively waste millions of hours of their time.

About your comments on the degree... it really depends on how you got it. For most people, I would agree with you. A small group of people in academia are insanely smart and are focused on research.
Synchronous DRAM (SDR and DDRx) still has a RAS wire (row address strobe) and CAS wire (column address strobe), but these are accessed synchronously - and also used to encode other commands.

DDR DRAM is organized into banks (for DDR4/5 these are grouped in bank groups), rows, and columns. A bank has a dedicated set of read/write circuits for its memory array, but rows and columns within a bank share a lot of circuitry. The read/write circuits are very slow and need to be charged up to perform an access, and each bank can only have one row open at a time. The I/O circuits are narrower than the memory array, which is what makes the columns out of the rows.

The best-case scenario is that a bank is precharged and the relevant row is open, so you just issue a read or write command (generally a "read/write with auto-precharge" to get ready for the next command) and the time from when that command is issued to when the data bus starts the transaction is the CAS latency. If you add in the burst size (which is 4 cycles for a double-data-rate burst length of 8) plus the signal propagation RTT to the memory, you get your best-case access latency.

The worst-case scenario for DDR is then that you have just issued a command to a bank and you need to read/write a different row on that bank. To do that, you need to wait out the bank precharge time and the row activation time, and then issue your read or write command. This adds a lot of waiting where the bank is effectively idle. Because of that wait time, memory controllers are very aggressive about reordering things to minimize the number of row activations, so you may find your access waiting in a queue for several other accesses, too.

Also, processors generally use a hash function to map logical addresses to physical DRAM banks, rows, and columns, but they set it up to optimize sequential access: address bits roughly map to (from least to most significant): memory channel -> bank -> column -> row. It is more complicated than that in reality, but that's not a bad way to think about it.
Everything I know, I learned from /r/churning. Although it can be pretty intimidating as a newbie; I was a lurker for a ~year before I was comfortable enough to start hitting SUBs.

If you're specifically interested in Japan flights, I recommend checking out this podcast: https://thedailychurnpodcast.com/ep-58-how-to-book-ana-japan...

As far as general advice, many people acquire Chase UR points predominantly for Hyatt and acquire Amex MR predominantly for flights. If you're in 2 player mode then you earn points a lot faster because you can refer each other.

> Someone getting physically injured is bad enough to require a law

Yet, as a rule, we don't have laws against people doing unsafe things. You can, say, drive a car as fast as you want on private property. Only when you create risk for other people on public roads is your speed legally constrained.

You can't legally engage in an unsafe workplace environment because it compels other workers to do the same and the general public doesn't want to get drawn into that. If it were just about your personal safety, who cares? Nobody gives a rat's ass if you choose to hurt yourself so long as it doesn't impact anyone else.

> here is nothing wrong with working after 5pm, it's really a matter of preference

Different groups of people call for different things, so your milage may vary, but said law in this jurisdiction accounts for that.

> why not have government enforce everything about all jobs?

Government isn't some magical thing, it's just a group of employees who work for the people to clean up outliers who are compromising the will of the general public. The people have busy lives and don't sit around and think about every last scenario that could have a law for, they only call to action when something is bothering them.

> Why not have all jobs be 9-5, in office, only 5 meetings a week, etc. etc.

What makes you think this is bothering the people?

> Templeton recalls a turning point when being asked about her recent reads felt more like a competition than a shared interest, prompting her to reevaluate her relationship with reading. She argues for a reading culture that values personal experience over productivity, emphasizing that the number of books one reads should not dictate one's worth as a reader.

It feels to me that Templeton needs to re-evaluate her relationships with friends asking this instead of with reading. Sometimes I read a lot, sometimes barely at all but I don't get questions from friends like "Only two books in half a year? Bro, do you even read?!".

If the 90 min film gets hopelessly boring, I wouldn't hesitate to stop watching. Heck I've abandoned 10 minute YouTube videos because it got boring.

I have abandoned novels halfway because it was boring. Perhaps it may have been the greatest novel ever and I'm missing out by not completing it, but it's okay for me. Now I'm not saying it should be interesting right from page 1. But if it's not reached any major plot point by page 200, I'm skipping.

Interesting. Thanks for posting! I like your website aesthetic.

LiMux (Linux for Munich) was started in 2004: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux

Of course, Microsoft did some of their... persuation of politicians and initially killed the project in 2017, but it seems that since 2020 it's back. I do think that LibreOffice could need some more full-time User Interface people to polish some rough edges (please none of the hackjob wanna-be UX people that ruin all modern apps by obnoxious popups), so that could be a good use of some tax money.

My Bioluminescent Petunias Arrived
It was always pretty laggy. It didn’t and still doesn’t scale to any reasonable size document. The last thing I wrote in libreoffice was a technical specification around 200 pages long in 2019. It crashed regularly, wrecked the document and caused me a lot of work. I literally cut and pasted the entire thing into word, applied styles and cleaned it up over two days and had no problems with that. This made me dirty so I learned LaTeX and now use that.

I have colleagues who still use Libreoffice for study and have the same problems.
You're brushing off that these structures require an outsized level of wealth to pay the salaries of enough other people to make every legal entity a group project with diffuse responsibility. Without that, most judges are just going to say you're personally responsible for everything regardless of the legal structures you've set up. So no, it's not just a matter of us plebs learning how to use the system - it really is designed to privilege capital over individuals. For example see the blatant dynamic of the "Limited Partnership" predecessor to the LLC.
When I saw the title I thought the article would be about the dreadful stress of keeping up with new tech or research.. But it's about spare time reading?

Granted the problem seems similar, but only because the author is in the field of reading (working in books related profession).

I'm not sure how much it can be applied to just hobby reading. Stress of keeping up with tech/research comes from a sense of professional obligations (you'll fall behind to your professional peers) but there's not much of stress if you're in it as a leisure /hobby; it's not inherently competitive activity.

So the conclusion is not that helpful. It's targeted to a very small audience (people that work in a field where reading books and keeping up with the latest books, are important) and is essentially "don't worry about it!"

To my knowledge, the model being used for this is "chirp" which is 'based on' bark[1], an AI text to speech model.

The github page for bark links to a page about chirp, which returns a 404 page for me [2]. My guess is that the model used for suno.ai's song generator isn't too much different than the text to speech model.

I also have a hunch is that it was more like a coincidence than intentional that the bark model was capable of producing music, and that was spun off into this product.

Unfortunately, there seems to still be issues with bark when generating long (like book length) spoken audio. Which is too bad, as someone who's worked jobs that require lots of driving, it would be awesome to be able to have any text read to me in a natural sounding voice.

> That book is too big.

Most non-fiction books are best "consumed" by watching a few talks or podcast episodes by the author(s) and a few others by critics.
I don't think these things are at odds, if I understand you correctly.

To use religious terminology - repentance makes up for the sin. In other words, the explicit reflection on your past and determination to do better is indeed a transformational thing.

The thing is, "repentance" is not a given and I would say that most people do not go through the introspection and evolution process, so there's no reason to assume that mere passage of time has transformed one into a different person than he who has transgressed.

In your case, the thing that would make me not worry about your "apparent integrity being called into question" is the fact that you yourself are calling yourself out for having done badly. That would be quite different than someone who's done the equivalent amount of aging but didn't recognize and evolve from their past.

Of course there are some things where mere recognition is not sufficient. For example where the misdeed can be correct or otherwise accounted for, they ought to be. EG if one has the opportunity to go back and undo/apologize/repay/whatever but they don't, then their repentance is itself in question (if you don't go back to fix the thing, are you really beating yourself up for having done it, etc?) At most extreme cases, it can mean confessing to a crime and throwing yourself at the mercy of the court or whatever.
Literally the next sentence after what you quoted:

> He pleaded guilty Monday to one count of each charge, and the other counts were dropped.

He was indicted for five counts and two, but that just means that's what the prosecution was going to try to get him for. He pled guilty to one of each, presumably to avoid an even harsher possible sentence.
