> Furniture is everywhere nowadays, everyone should learn enough to build a cabinet

I don’t think everyone should learn how to build a computer. Most people should be able to, like, replace a cabinet hinge though. Maybe not everyone but it is a common enough skill that we don’t talk about whether or not people should learn it.
That's incorrect, it's a MUCH bigger business. It was clear to me a decade ago that this is where it was headed, transformers just made clear a realistic near term timeline.
Yeah, this surprised me as well. I get how reading ocean swells, sea life, birds, ocean color (indicating depth and/or plant life below) could give a general sense of position. And I can see how stars, prevailing currents and maybe even estimates based on the relative movement of clouds (adjusted for ambient wind direction and weather conditions) could give a general sense of distance traveled. But on a completely cloudless day (or fully overcast night) gauging distance traveled seems like it could be catastrophically imprecise often enough to make for short navigation careers.

I'm not sure how the concept of tracking virtual islands over the horizon really helps. The only thing I can think of is maybe the idea of it encourages the navigator to stay focused on estimating the passage of proxy points on the far horizon based on whatever composite of wind, current and swell signs they are intuiting from. While still quite variable, I assume gauging distance estimates on the far horizon is better than the alternative of trying to estimate distance traveled from the immediate surroundings of the craft (which are only useful for estimating velocity).
I'm here to tell the tragic truth that there isn't a lot of opportunity for large scale repeatability that happens after the minimum viable product is discovered. Startups are basically cryptocurrency pyramid schemes hidden in the domain of legitimate entrepreneurship.

You shouldn't seek anything that is beyond one order of magnitude higher than the minimum viable product. Because Facebook already exists. World of Warcraft already exists. You're not gonna discover the product-market fit for the next Google. Because there is no next Google.

It's sad how people are being lied to. Startups are literally just another lottery to waste resources, time, and energy on.

The bubble will eventually pop and people will be disappointed with reality.
It's easier to find PMF by myself them to read this post and find a template there. Very difficult text with a lot of words.
UMA in the SGI machines (and gaming consoles) made sense because all the memory chips at that time were equally slow, or fast, depending how you wanna look at it.

PC HW split the video memory from system memory once GDDRAM become so much faster than system RAM, but GDDRAM has too high latency for CPUs and DDR has too low bandwidth for GPUs, so the separation made sense for each's strengths and still does to this day. Unifying it again, like with AMD's APUs, means either compromises for the CPU or for the GPU. There's no free lunch.

Currently AMD APUs on the PC use unified DDRAM so CPU performance is top but GPU/NPU perforce is bottlenecked. If they were to use unified GDDRAM like in the PS5/Xbox then GPU/NPU performance would be top and CPU performance would be bottlenecked.

This Mediaite article is very one-sided---not necessarily wrong, but definitely one-sided. Ironically, I liked the NPR article by David Folkenflik that it links to better: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244962042/npr-editor-uri-ber...

Among other details in Folkenflik's piece is that the 5-day suspension without pay was part of a "final warning":

In presenting Berliner's suspension Thursday afternoon, the organization told the editor he had failed to secure its approval for outside work for other news outlets, as is required of NPR journalists. It called the letter a "final warning," saying Berliner would be fired if he violated NPR's policy again.

I liked Berliner's response to a question of whether he was worried for being fired for not getting permission to talk to Folkenflik:

Berliner says he did not get permission from NPR to speak with me for this story but that he was not worried about the consequences: "Talking to an NPR journalist and being fired for that would be extraordinary, I think."

I guess we'll see how extraordinary NPR considers it.

I think it means something like: instead of taking your money and putting it to work directly by investing in something tangible and important to you (a friend's business, your own startup, etc), you put it in a massive pool with no responsibility for how its deployed.

I get the sentiment and I think it's a socially-conscious investment method, but also a great way to lose all that money and potentially friends when their businesses fail.

Thanks. All of those examples aren't about macronutrients though, which I thought were fairly well understood. (Though I'm sure various myths about them have been spread: such as another commenter suggesting "you can't get fat if you don't eat fat.")

Nutrition is definitely a minefield, I'm with you there!

Was the headline changed? Because it now reads "YouTube cracking down on third-party apps that block ads".

That aside, "punish" is an odd choice of word. Users aren't "punished"—no fines, no accounts locked, etc. They're simply prevented from viewing the videos. Annoying? Yes. But given a premium, ad-free version exists, it's hard to blame Google.
A.I. models are already better at seduction than most people are. That's how people walk away from ChatGPT impressed with its genius.
There just seems to be so much gray area here. Where is the burden of proof? Can someone argue that the depiction is of a fictional person who just looks similar to Plaintiff? How similar is too similar? Who's the judge of similarity? What if the training data did not contain any pictures of Plaintiff and the results were just tuned until it looked like him/her? What if Plaintiff has a twin sibling or someone who looks just like him/her and that person consented? What a mess--who's going to litigate all of this?
I wonder sometimes if people are assuming their potential partner doesn't want that action also?

This is my problem. Everywhere I go, I look at things and go I could automate this. The amount of useless jobs is staggering.

> I live in Singapore which is denser than basically any place in the US, and people are obsessed with their phones. Mobile bandwidth works just fine.

For 4k video? No, it doesn't. Also, Singapore is probably spammed with microcells so your phone actually connects to a 5G cell that is only a bit more away than your WiFi router.

I was in Singapore last week, and I'm writing this from China. And no, mobile Internet in both countries can't compete with wired broadband.

> I suspect your underwhelming 5G experience could be related with cells in your area being rather big, so they had many people in them? If you have a higher density of people, you need a higher density of cells.

It's both. The US favors low-density housing, as it's much more people-friendly than any other alternative. The other option is high-density Downtown hellscapes with scyscrapers. Both areas are not great for wireless.

> In any case, that's why I was emphasising the different wires we already have (cable tv, plain old phone cables, power line, and in some places optical fibre, etc) and the wireless options (3G, 4G, 5G, wifi, satellite, and the more directed exotic microwave transmission, etc). I probably missed a few.

Only cable is capable of 1G speeds. Phone wires realistically max out at ~30/10 Mbps up/down with VDSL. There is no Internet over powerlines in the US, and there'll never be because of RF leaks.

So your realistic option is either the coaxial cable or newly laid fiber. And fiber is often owned by the same company that owns the cable.

> Try starting up a new tap water or sewage provider. I don't think the government will let you.

Nothing stops you. There are companies that provide alternative water service, they are often used to fill or drain swimming pools. It's just not economically feasible, unless there are special circumstances.

> If there's insufficient competition in the US, perhaps don't blame 'nature'.

There are no countries that are similar to the US that have competitive "last mile" Internet. None.

All the more successful countries (e.g. Sweden) decouple the last mile, making it a state-owned (or a heavily regulated) utility. And then ISPs can just buy access to it and compete based on services/price.
> But it would be useful if most office workers could learn how tell the computer:

One day soon the office worker will be able to tell the computer that, literally and verbatim, and it will do it.

at a glance, it seems like good advice. It's just waayyyyy to long.
Sounds like you've got a bone to pick with progressivism, you're biased too. Great start.
I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding what is going on here, because your questions about "namespacing", "being shared between objects", and "building installing things" suggest your imagining a system that doesn't exist here. Cargo, unlike a system like pip, doesn't have global files*, it doesn't have libraries installed to the system, there is no* global state to corrupt.

The only "side effect" of running a `cargo install` command is that a binary is placed in `~/.cargo/bin`, which most rust programmers will have on their PATH. There are no side effects of running a normal cargo build, it won't update anything outside of the crate you are building (and in the crate you are building, it will only change Cargo.lock and the target directory). There isn't any scary action at a distance.

> What causes it to be updated?

Nothing, except a user manually running `cargo install --force imgcatr`. This is the main criticism of using `cargo install`, it's not a package manager, it's a shortcut to doing the C equivalent of `git clone project && cd project && ./configure --prefix=~/.cargo/bin && make && make install` (but for binaries only, no libraries).

* There is a local cache of checked out code, and the index of crates, which is generally updated every time you run a `cargo build` command that might need anything that isn't local. You can use this cache without touching the internet by specifying `--offline`, at which point the contents of the cache matters. The only reason to do this is if you don't have internet. I'm also ignoring nonsense that people can put in `build.rs` files, but pretty much no one does. Rust will also look for certain global dependencies on your system (namely C style libraries), but it doesn't have any support for putting new ones there.
It takes two to tango. You're conflating this with victim blaming. This is a willing party willing to continue the cycle of the problem. For those making the decisions on "is it too expensive", then by definition it is not has stadiums continue to be filled by people participating in the fleecing.

Someone with money can spend their money however they want. They can gamble it, they can snort it up their nose, they can invest it, they can do WTF they want. If what they do with the money contributes to the problem, then they are still part of the problem.

There's an interesting section here about one of my favourite challenges in authorization: how to efficiently return a list of things that the current user has permission to access, without running a "can_access()" permission check on every single one of them (which is bad if you have thousands of items and you want to paginate them).

Their solution is to let you configure rules that get turned into SQL fragments that you can run against your own database: https://www.osohq.com/docs/guides/integrate/filter-lists#lis... - example Rails app here: https://github.com/osohq/rails_list_filtering_sample_app

A team I worked with in the past came to the same conclusion - turning authorization rules into WHERE clauses is a very efficient way to solve this problem, if you can figure out a clean way to do it.
I think advertisers haven't adapted well to the youtube market at all. They're still operating under the TV model where ad breaks are an expected part of the tv viewing experience and don't understand that on youtube they are intrusive as hell . This also couples negatively with advertisers viewing youtube apparently not putting any limits on ad length as an opportunity to deliver a sermon. I think most people would be annoyed but not totally put off by a couple 15 seconds ads but the issue is that users just have no idea if they'll get a 15 second ad or a 15 minute ad so they skip everything out of extreme frustration with the entire experience.

Yes there is probably no next Google, but you know what there are a lot of. Companies that the googles etc buy because they have gotten to the point where they can’t really develop new products themselves. So yes you many not be able to make the next Google or Microsoft, but there are plenty of success stories to still be had.

I don't doubt this is true. OnlyFans exists basically as a way of having a pretend [girl|boy]friend.

You can find porn of basically any demographic you want on the internet in about ten second with any popular search engine. If your goal is just to see porn, you can do that for free (or with a cheaper all-encompassing subscription to some kind of MindGeek service). I think people pay for OnlyFans for the more parasocial aspects of it.

As chatbots get better and better at mimicking human dialog, I think it'll become pretty easy to fake the parasocial aspects of this stuff. At that point, having the pretend girlfriend becomes a decidedly cheaper process, and maybe arguably more ethical? At least with the AI chatbot, there's not a person being sexually objectified because they need to pay rent next month.
