I don't expect anything from the conference organizers apart from what's typically given. My point is, I despise presentations that could have been a Youtube, if you're going to give a presentation, make the experience unique to the people in the room, view the prepared sections as just enough to kickstart your intended impromptu part. This is a skill in and of itself and you just need to practice it to get better but most people aren't aware/don't try and I view it as a massive missed opportunity.
Fair enough. Honestly, there are very few people in the world who could confidently claim that they know all of the STL. The first place I worked at disallowed it (MSVC 5 was fresh then, so it was somewhat understandable), and we had our own performance centric data structures. But the value of container classes and promises about performance first really hit me when I went to my next job and dug in on the STL. Truly eye opening stuff, and absolutely available for reading (which was pretty cool at the time).

I am this close to rebuilding my machine in Qubes. Is 32GB enough RAM or am I going to be seeing usability issues?

The proliferation of AI tools really wants me to grab more of this wild-west code, but obvious security concerns there. Am I going to take a huge hit in performance if I am running this stuff in a virtual machine like llamafile which runs on the CPU?

Secondary GPU for pass through is less appealing, but I suppose I can stomach it. Is there a good guide on how you configured this? Many moons ago, before Proton was so good, I had looked into doing GPU pass through, but quickly gave up on the technical complexity.

Anything else notable? Problems getting web cams or microphones working? I assume you cannot screen share across Qubes.
I don't think the Humane Pin is capable of booking an Uber or placing an order on DoorDash or Amazon.

Actually I would expect AI up scaling of SDTV in this case would perform better. It would assume semantically the props were real and would extrapolate them as such.
The Notebook (one of the few films that have made me cry). Also, Life Is Beautiful (1997).
at that point what it has is not a representation of the input, its a representation of what the next output could be. ie. its a lossy process and you can't extract what came in the past, only the details relevant to next word prediction

DMCA Notice Targeting 'Bypass Paywalls Clean' Isn't the Thing to Get Angry About
> Null routing is the MVP here: this IP is being attacked, so drop traffic to it as soon as possible.

Oh, this poor guy is being DDoS'd, so we're going to make sure that their service remains denied.

Null-routing the target IP helps everybody except the customer who is being attacked: namely, the network operator and their other customers. From the victim's point of view, it's just as frustrating as the attack itself, and gets in the way of troubleshooting.

With modern tooling and a bit of ML, it shouldn't be too hard for multiple ISPs to collectively determine which IPs are currently part of a large botnet. Drop packets from them, not to the victim. DoS the ones who are causing the DDoS.
Thank you for the compliment!

We're working on improving its support for other use cases, with work to better support embedded[1], server[2], and AI[3] use cases, along with Linux[4] and Windows[5] support.

We're also putting a lot of energy into improving support for these scenarios in Visual Studio Code [6].

Would love to hear more about scenarios folk are looking at, as well as specific gaps that are blocking you adopting Swift for non-Apple platforms. We're building a roadmap now and would love to make sure our work items are comprehensive.

KDE4 is a sad story. It ruined the reputation of KDE for a very long time. I loved KDE 3.5, but then came back to KDE only in 2021.

It's mostly just a problem of communication. KDE 4.0 should not have been marked as stable and should not been used by distros. If they baked KDE4 for two more years and on the side maintained/developed 3.5, the transition might be much smoother.
Not to be a downer but in the 1950s did they let anyone drive a truck, or did you have to be a guy or be white?

It's a confounding factor.

I lived for 30 years in the Bay Area. Lots of job and consulting opportunities. Fabulous people. Tons of culture and funky places. I grew lots of roses and a few veggies even in my small lots. Way multicultural. My daughter learned hula, and is revisiting that as a grownup. Attend universities or work at one. I did, and met Nobel Prize winners. Plenty to see. The ocean is gorgeous and close by.

Moved away, and now deer eat everything nonmetallic, 110 degree summers and at times, a couple of feet of snow. 12 miles to downtown and 50 miles to an Indian or Thai restaurant, Whole Foods, and the VA medical facility.

Would love to move back and reinvent the enshittified web. Will gladly leave the snow shovel, chainsaws and bear spray behind.
There is a book about it called Why Mexicans Don’t Drink Molson.

Don’t know what Molson is? Well, the book argues that you would and should, but for our risk averse culture.
Environmental reviews are cheap. Time to wait for the bureaucrats though…

How much cost inflation has occurred since this project was initially budgeted? A lot.
I wonder if it can be expanded to things like speeches, snippets of movies/TV shows, etc.
What the src?! Look up where a tarball came from and its contents.
Wow. I thought he purposefully chose completely nondescript names as a critique of the ecosystem.
It is because any task you have mastered is going through the motions. On one hand I agree that the Abbott is being trite, because the boy wants more variety. On the other hand, the Abbott's point is that each variety becomes stale as part of the experience. I think the boy should be given more variety earlier and the story is dumb.
Right. That director almost certainly chose that particular film because that particular grain lent the film the vibe they were looking for. Directors always look for ways to implement their artistic vision within the bounds of the medium, but the end results is almost certainly their artistic vision. A lot of that missing information is missing for a reason. Surely someone could use AI to invent things that go in all of the little shadows in Nosferatu, or steady the handheld video camera footage David Lynch was into for a while, but those things serve a purpose.

If people want to AI-enhance movies for their own viewing pleasure, then great. Watch it in reversed color or with a face-swap for all I care. But "improving" the original by inventing detail that the director probably never wanted to show to begin with is a parlor trick devoid of any artistic merit.
This talks about higher interest rates due to investors being reluctant to purchase US government debt, which is not something we've observed recently. It doesn't talk about higher interest rates due to deliberate action by the Federal Reserve, which is something we've observed recently. Mortgage rates aren't up because of debt, they're up because the Fed raised rates sharply 2022-3, as you can find on a different portion of the Forbes website: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/fed-funds-rate-hist...

I'd actually missed or forgotten the paragraph you quote, but in context it seems pretty disingenuous, using a hypothetical which smoothly transitions to present tense to imply that the debt bogeyman is to blame for what Roy knows very well are actually, in the last few years, consequences of attempts to combat inflation. This only makes me more doubtful of his intellectual honesty.
The idea of spoon feeding simple but incredible solutions for free can be very rewarding for maintainers, and can also generate a monetary reward as well. There are projects that I happily donate to because they create value for me. How many terms of service have you read of apps that you pay for? It seems that many apps you pay don't just take your money, but your privacy and rights away too. Developers creating something in the open can inspire and help make communities of people working on a shared goal, that attracts quality individuals from all over the world to help. It brings people that are excited about your goals and that came to your project because it was something they could find and appreciate. I'd say, you don't get the same from closed-source software. You also can't achieve the same by being an asshole to potential contributors just because you feel like it. Sure, it is an option, but if you want to actually build something... not just for you, but a dream, then it is a bad choice to not try to build a healthy community.
not sure if historically cancer was this prevalent.
This sounds exciting, but I don't have a practical example in my head to understand the potential value here. 50% increase in ISP is great but is fuel mass the limiting factor on this type of engine or is it energy production? It would be great to get a simple example of utility here by possibly comparing existing uses to something with this modification. Anyone have a good example?
I think the stereotypical calm company is one with strong financial performance in a stable industry that is somewhat insulated from swings in the macro economy. Think large regional players in insurance, healthcare, finance, banking, etc. It’s large enough to have “professional” managers and a big customer base (so one customer having a problem is not a hair-on-fire emergency).

In my experience you tend to find many more penny pinching owners in the world of small businesses, not at a 1000-person regional life insurance company.
Those were likely the F-117.
Perhaps optimists are preferable for startups, as long as the investors have deep pockets. However, in established businesses sometimes the optimist's estimate results in an acceptable ROI, but the reality could mean that the business over-invested in the project and the business case no longer holds. It is for this reason that many six month projects are cancelled after a year or so. As is so often the case "it depends".
> That nature doesn't in and of itself confer any rights to anyone is rather self-evident from observations of said nature.

Historically, there were a lot of people for whom this was not "self-evident". From Aristotle through to scholastics such as Aquinas, it was "self-evident" that nature entailed moral rights and duties. Even early modern figures such as Grotius still thought that way (although he was a Christian theologian, he insisted that morality would still exist even if God didn't, since he held that the moral law was inherent in nature)

Now, maybe you are right and they were wrong – but you need a stronger argument than simply "self-evidence" to demonstrate that

> Even wholesale genocide of species is something that happens routinely in nature over sufficiently long timescales.

Aristotle, Aquinas, Grotius et al were certainly aware that the moral law they believed was inherent in nature was nonetheless routinely violated, sometimes on an enormous and abhorrent scale. However, they didn't agree that this was some kind of slam-dunk counterargument to their views

> Reason cannot confer rights because you can't reason from nothing. You have to pick a set of ethical axioms first to reason from, but the choice of those axioms is largely arbitrarily

What is "reason"? It has meant very different things to different thinkers. For a Humean conception of "reason", what you say is true. Given many ancient, mediaeval and early modern conceptions of "reason", what you say is false. How can we determine which understanding of "reason" is the correct one?

> The very notion of "natural rights" is fundamentally religious in nature

"Religious" is another one of those words which can be defined in numerous different ways. Your claim may be true given some of those definitions, but is clearly false given others.
> but not young enough to take the risk of doing something about it.

I cannot grok this statement. The older I am the bigger risks I was able to take because I had accumulated more financial independence. Why would you be able to take more risks when you are young?

When I was 23 I had little savings, little assets, lots of debt I was worried about paying off, and felt like I needed to work or I was going to be homeless and starve. I took the highest paying job I could find, and worked until I had enough experience and network to find a higher paying job. I took no risks.

When I was 33 I took large career risks because I had no debt (outside of low mortgage payment), lots of savings, plenty of assets, and a professional network to fall back on if my risk didn't pay off.
One of the few apps that still feels like magic.

I saw your very recent comment on EMRs /EHRs and that you would like to build a new one.

we are actually in the process of building one, we have a doctor on board and we also have our first users.

Our goal is to create the most fantastic user experience for primary Care practitioners.

Our existing MVP uses AI to to speed up clinical documentation process using speech text to speech. Transcribing the conversation, summarizing it, generating a doctor's letter.
We try to identify what actions the doctor recommended to the patients while talking to them. For instance, regenerate a laboratory referral in real time.

We are writing our yc application atm.

I can't see your email in your profile, but you should be able to see mine. I would love to talk to you.

Please drop me a message if you are still interested in building a new EMR.
This reminds me of Gunter Sachs‘ apartment in St Moritz which Roy Lichtenstein decorated, and Cesar Manriques lava bubble house on Lanzarote, and Salvador Dalis beach house in Portlligat. I think living in art is amazing and livable art worth preserving. If you have a chance, you can visit them, unfortunately not Gunter Sachs‘ apartment.

> I'd prefer it actually have an API of sorts.

The CLI and its commands with parameters is an API. Additionally, IMO, it can work pretty well if done right. But opinions vary.
I'm still an iPhone user, but I'm seeing more situations where Android has the edge for me. For example, I use an Omnipod diabetic pump, which requires an external device to control. (it's not optional; there's no controls on the actual disposable pump) I have to carry around a dumbed down Android device, but certain Android phones are supported via app. iOS support is supposedly finally coming this year, but the time table is uncertain. (Previous insulin pumps had similar issues with app support as well)

Thank you for your feedback. The current implementation of purl uses Go's regexp package for regex operations, which ensures consistent behavior across platforms. I acknowledge the README does not specify this yet, and I plan to update it to clarify the regex implementation used.

When you say art is a way to give life meaning, in what way do you mean that?

I ask, because for me, art, as ambiguous of a term as that is, has been a means to give me meaning in the moment. It later acts as a memento of those moments. A sort of nostalgic trigger.

The act of creating something is sort of a release, and in some way I agree with the OP that it is narcissistic, but there is little we do which isn't centered on ourselves. Where I differ is the negative connotation.

Art as expression is a way for me to "get something off my chest", so to speak. That other people might enjoy it is only a byproduct, and I think many artists feel the same. It's probably the reason so many are discovered only after their death.

I loved mine too, and thought you were exaggerating about how big and heavy they were, but I saw a photo and wow, they were ugly as hell as well! I forgot about that, I can't believe I liked this.
Ah, this thought stopping argument again.

X11 is garbage which nobody wants to maintain, let alone develop. It's a very archaic design which is patched via extensions to sorta support some modern concepts which negate the network transparency anyway.

Both Wayland and systemd have a very wide developer consensus, because they finally provide a maintainable solution to their respective problems. The drama is constructed by a small minority of contrarians.

They wouldn't. That's why they're aiming to use plasma thrusters.

Base 16 is a good one. You can count on your fingers if you use the first pad and each crease. I am still tickled that four digits of binary is one digit of hex. You can just plop them down on top of each other and convert four at a time. Compared with the hell of going between binary and dec it’s a joy.

I must say though that there’s a certain awe and glory in bouncing a dec number up and down by 10x by moving the decimal.

Bases aren’t “good” or “bad” you the user are either good or bad at dealing with them. If you think a base is bad you’re probably not working hard enough to use it well.

Or trolling. Maybe you’re just trolling.
The problem is there's also alot of competition ... if your'e not in say, the top 5% then the Bay Area can be a real wash ... you really need to be making $150k+ in order for it to be worth it in general, or have some other reason to be there (e.g. family)

The beauty of mathematics and physics in action. I wonder if some of the tweaks made for the sake of beauty could be useful in other means of visualizations.

It also reminds me of a time that I was copying code from a book to make polyphonic music on an Apple II. I got something wrong for sure when I ran it, but instead of harsh noise, I ended up with an eerily beautiful pattern of tones. Whatever happy accident I made fascinated me.
The only thing I can figure is that this beam-target fusion except that the proton beam is their primary thruster so that any protons that don't fuse are not wasted. Still not sure how they get a 50% increase from fusion with boron but I assume that is merely optimistic.
Why wouldn't we see this in studies if it was common?
I wonder if it all gets lost in HR who looks at their hiring listing and sees there is no opening and disregards it.
I could say "2x2x2 being 200 in binary is a formatting error, it should be 1000" and I think that would be true too.

It can make sense as a mistake without needing the base to actually be higher. The base isn't higher just because they carried a digit incorrectly.
> Life is without meaning in and of itself. It falls to us to give life meaning. Art is a way of giving life meaning.

I'd disagree, people find all sorts of meaning in life.

I'd argue that art doesn't inherently give life meaning, but is often an expression of the meaning people have found.
Claiming the concept of a "red pill" as something exclusive to the red tribe is correctly perceiving the blue tribe memetic groupthink, while mistakenly thinking that becoming aware of one general memetic prison means you must have found your way out and into freedom. That media/government propaganda narrative most certainly applies to the red tribe as well. If anything, the red tribe groupthink is much older and pointing out the holes in it is the long established function of the blue tribe, hence why the ideas of The Matrix don't get as much concentrated attention from them.
Everything takes forever in the US now, and California especially. We built an entire interstate highway system in the 50s in the same amount of time it takes us now to build 10 miles of carpool lane in LA.

I did cnn.com and it just downloaded a file that said cnn.com can't be found lol
Ohh so I just gave this a shot and I think that the trap runs when `.ssh/rc` exits, which is immediately when my bash prompt shows up. But if I want to make it non-interactive (in a really hacky way) then I can have my .ssh/rc file just infinitely sleep if domain is defined. Then I killed the ssh connection via a `kill` command on the client side and it appropriately cleaned up the socket file in tmp.

I combined this infinite loop in ssh rc and a -T and a simple command "echo hello" in my client function and now it prints out the link to visit, hangs infinitely until I close it or it gets closed, and cleans itself up.

This just took the level of hackishness to new heights and I love it.
