Unfortunately according to many people in power we’re more like the “bewildered herd” of Walter Lippmann:

> I'd be surprised if people pretend the market is still rational: see nfts. Or the modern stock market.

NFTs are an entertainment / art product. Them having non-zero value is the same as the original Mona Lisa selling for more than a perfect replica.

What about the stock market are you darkly hinting at?

> Not to mention the market irrationally rewards short term good (or even bad) and long term bad behavior, but it does it consistently, so no long term good behavior can ever win out. See: oil and gas industry.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Could you be more explicit, please?

> All solutions that try to handwave people out of the equation, which includes market based ones, are the wrong path imo.

Sounds like a straw man? Who is waving people out of the equation and how?
I have a lifetime membership to Mechanic's Library so I recognized the stairway and re-read the article to confirm which office building he was talking about.

I get what you mean about old buildings in SF (living in a drafty victorian is not as pleasant as a modern flat), but I love that particular building. I always take the stairs instead of the elevator, striding two steps at a time, whether going up or down, they're not slippery. The bathrooms are indeed funky but pleasant enough, and even ventilated with an open window. The oak tables by the huge multistory windows on both library floors are a wonderful work environment, with decent outlets and wifi.
> Similarly, translating a lot of terms from German or Russian to English often causes inconvenience and confusion. So better learn German and Russian. :-)

If the programming language key words that I needed to know used those languages, as did all of the documentation and forums, conference videos and literature, that's exactly what I'd do. But somehow those aren't the languages that everyone uses, nor is something like Chinese (and its dialects) which has a lot of users, but isn't as geographically widespread. Maybe people have also settled on English because it has a somewhat low barrier to entry as well.

I guess it's the same as needing to know at least some latin in the natural sciences, because otherwise something like naming bones when talking to a foreign colleague would get awkward, fast.
Why is it not an ai assistant?
Two factors not mentioned for the decline of "fancy":

1. Which fancy? Matching, even eclectically is more complicated if things are not simple.

2. We have our attention focused less on our IRL things and more toward the ideas, digital tools, and people that hold our attention.
It does when the hug is metaphorical!
Plan9port has factotum.

Plan9 has a completely different security model.

The Hostowner (usually Glenda) is essentially "root" and you're at the mercy of the filesystem regarding file privileges etc.

AFAIK there is no way to "become" glenda.
Yes, exactly. As a free software developer and freelancer, I can release my stuff to the public under GPL, and a company who wants proprietary customizations can still negotiate with me to secure a different license just for them.

This post was absolutely cringe. There's a difference between "IANAL" and "I just never even bothered trying to understand."
Yes, exactly, reactionaries will continue to leverage every state apparatus they can get their hands on to cement their hold on power, and liberals will continue to wring their hands and pat each other on the back about not "misusing the tools of democracy." Thus you are right, Trump will win because he'll declare himself president, the liberals will do nothing, and American democracy will be completely dismantled within the decade.

Personally, I love birds and animals and natural ecosystems, which is why I can never love technology: the two are at odds and technology has been more destructive to them than anything else.

It's not negative from an absolute sense, it's just lower than it started. It would be a lot easier to make wormholes if space weren't so empty to begin with. You could probably make something like a wormhole on a lab bench though.
We all prioritize things differently and I believe this process was started on October 6th, 2022 [1]. This is just one of many things the current administration has done over the last 3 years, though.

There are so many M3 SKUs and the memory situation is sad enough that I wonder if there are yield issues.

But you wouldn't have the same performance with discrete memory, so shrug.
Inkscape is a daily driver for me and its OSS

It has its quirks and even some annoying bugs but where it excells its IMO way better than what any competing/proprietary design tool can do (vector and bitmap exporting, vector+bitmap combined layering, shape/colors/text layout, PDF editing/creating, vector pen tool, etc). I use it to create UI for games & apps and more generally to build sprawling UX scenarios and concept flowcharts.

In more recent builds its performance has become quite good which was a problem it had before. Granted, lots of room for improvement still particularly wish it had more natural flowcharting capability.
>it's also not exactly great.

As a Japanese(-American) person who has done amateur translations (anime fansubs!) in the past, that is still better than having a person do it.

Speaking very sincerely, being a translator is a fucking thankless, horrible, sweatshop occupation.[1][a] Both professional and amateur translating. I cannot wait for computers to completely destroy that absolutely worthless industry of misery and burn out.

[a]: Exceptions apply, namely those cream of the crop translators hired by executives and diplomats for top dollars to precisely and passionately translate their words. Other than that, the industry does not deserve to exist.
> 1916 [...] 1800s [...] 1910

Two ideas to consider or at least try to rule-out:

1. Some of the outdoor decor level may depend on transportation patterns. The more people are driving themselves, the less they can notice or appreciate nice lamp-posts etc.

2. A "luxurious" pattern only works when it's hard to make. When it's easy to make, it loses the cachet and then nobody wants it.
Every map of China is wrong
How does Bixby work then?

My point being, they’re already releasing an Android device with cellular. Why not make it a bespoke Android phone and/or partner with someone like One Plus to be a differentiator?

The number of people who’d carry two devices around is vanishingly small when the use cases all can happen on their phone anyway.
NASA's Optical Comms Demo Transmits Data over 140M Miles
Yes, but I love wild animals. When I hear about birds and insects and spiders going extinct, I feel a terrible sadness and for that reason at least I am trying to figure out a better path and convince people of it. It might never work given the momentum of 8 billion, but most people are equally convinced they can never win the lottery and yet someone always does.

I care about animals as much as I care about humans which is why I do not support technological growth, which just exports suffering into the animal world for our comfort.
America, used to be engineering-led. Seeing “Made in USA” most often meant you were holding something that was engineered to work and to last. Exceptions to this were rare.

The economist-led America of today? Well, I’ve got a modern “made in usa” through hole socket set in the garage with a shattered 13mm socket. I could tell from the second I lifted the first socket they had saved some cash on the materials.

Policy type discussions today aren’t fundamentally based on whether something is physically possible or whether a thing would be desirable - discussions today are inevitably founded on cost, they will often touch on other subjects for sure but the one lens that cannot be discarded is the cost one.

It’s ok. I’ve collected a few nick nacks from NASA’s glorious days to keep me cheered up.
The Hindi part has the extremists and the political mess, not so the 2 Muslim nations.
I don't think workers at any of Tesla's factories in the are unionized.
The model can only attend to context that is part of the input. Most likely they created the image grid by independently feeding the model each prompt together with the reference image. (And the point is to show off that the model output remains consistent despite this independent generation process.)
Not only is it a plausible scenario, it is the reality today. There are far fewer ECMO teams + machines than people who will die without it. In time this will improve, as technology advances and as more medical personnel are trained in maintaining one, but we are at the early stages and this conundrum happens all the time.
I’m exploring as I write this. In the age of VPNs, one could pass some filtering query and get cheapest to buy/rent, include/exclude countries, include/exclude platforms, and finally,… metacritic, steamDB, IMDb, RottenTomato. Is this in the works, already done?

Great stuff!!
> For example, today's AB- would become +HAB-R for "has H,A,B lacks Rhesus factor."

That's already the way A, B, and Rhesus factor work. The abbreviation for Rhesus factor is "+", but the formal terminology is "Rh+". I would have expected "H-" by analogy.
Some of that perceived value is the (wonderful) original Modernist attributes of simplicity, manufacturability, and form-follows-function, which are integral to the design philosophy of those homes.

The design work of the Eamses is another case: https://www.vitra.com/en-me/magazine/details/eames-potato-ch..., it’s just a magnificent use of the material.

Even the original Case Study homes were intended to be affordable, not made as mansions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Study_Houses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey_House_(Los_Angeles)#Des...)

Needless to say, I think OP is just not well informed about design.

Just as it might have been hard to make an ornate street lamp, it’s also hard to make a clean modernist home. There are reasons (personal, practical, philosophical) to prefer one or the other for a given use, but the author isn’t seeing those nuances.
The ? Operator in Rust?
It's already happening right now. And also, it's not just a manufacturing issue, you also need to train more personnel, and find more space in hospitals for one.
Doesn't everyone want freedom, justice, fairness, etc.

I’d rather the regime let Assange go, and pardoned Snowden. Allowing something most states already allow is weak sauce as far as populism is concerned.
You forgot to mention terrible managers, abusive “business” people, and utterly broken processes that put all of the responsibility and none of the agency on the developers themselves.
More like all the most successful societies value personal freedoms. Personal freedoms are clearly good for society and a big one of those is recreational drug use of which tobacco use is quite common.

Having a government which restricts personal freedoms too much for the sake of "societal good" may work in the short term or for specific issues but is clearly a negative in the long and broad terms. See the "west" of today for evidence of personal freedom combined with not-overly-restrictive-legislation being the most successful method of handling these things.

pyinfra supports executing on the local machine (@local connector: https://docs.pyinfra.com/en/2.x/connectors/local.html). If you store the operation files on the machine that’s basically an agent when executed just without a periodic check for other changes. Adding a mode to do that in a loop would be pretty trivial..
I had errors which occurred only in production or specific users. The ability to even log at debug level in production is crucial.
JW never really works outside the USA. Honestly…
In fact, according to sys/src/cmd/auth/login.c it looks like once you've logged it, you can shut the door using the capability device so then it's game over, no more hostowner for you
As an European even for me this makes me deeply unhappy. World needs 2 strong competitors neck to neck and not 1 dominant one because greedy managers got company into fubar territory.

Literally all of us benefit from long term healthy competition.

This begs the question - how fucked up bonus incentives must be set that management chose to tank the company in such a way. Very few people are genuinely evil, but these sociopaths always follow the path of money (and power).

Maybe for such strategic companies government needs to set the rules, or at least veto them and have some basic oversight. Duopoly ain't completely free market realm.

Not exactly super exciting. What would be cool is if Apple would create some truly AI-first powerful experiences (like Rabbit R1's "LAM" capabilities but at apple scale and quality) but I reckon they're so careful as to not upset the App Store revenue (Which relies a lot on us downloading and using individual apps).

Who knows, can’t find any JIRA ticket about it and anyone working at the time has long since quit/been laid off.
I do not buy this excuse. One party has no hangups about issuing ridiculous EOs. The other should rid itself of its hangups in issuing rational humanitarian EOs, because that results in the best outcome for humanity.

Ultimately they did not do that because they expect this cannabis inevitability to be disruptive and want the rollout to appease the pharmaceutical companies that donate to their campaigns.
They didn't mean literally 0 people.
What kind of latency do you observe when using Gemini with such large contexts?
The evidence that exists suggests that heavy cannabis usage _at an early age_ is associated with the development of psychotic disorders. No state that has legalized cannabis has permitted minors to purchase it. No evidence exists that cannabis usage later in life causes psychosis. There is also a lack of population evidence that increased cannabis usage among the public results in increased rates of diagnosis of psychotic disorders. And nobody is "drugging the masses" here. The government authorizing a product for sale doesn't force you to consume it.
Quick way to get 'right'sized. Call out the fad in no mean terms. Now I just nod my head and try to get through my day to more meaningful pursuits.

Meanwhile the bigwigs are all pursuing golden parachute retirement packages, getting on the boards of the next crop of companies, and continuing the giant wash of a machine.

Interesting title by justice.gov. Tax evasion is illegal regardless of your background / investment portfolio, so why relevant? Sowing sentiment?
This sounds like a scam. The was something similar a few years ago in Germany, a messenger advertised to criminals. Turned out to be a trap.
Ah, that American rugged individualism. That's why y'all can be homeless in a blink or medically bankrupt.
Cable cars are a poor and misleading analogy for interoperability -- that is truly a difficult, one of a kind system, with significant mechanical and switching limitations that don't apply to streetcar systems.

For streetcar systems, by contrast, most cities used the standard PCC car from the mid-30s onward, with minor variations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCC_streetcar

As for dangerous? During the multi-decade period in question, your link lists two accidents in the US. One is the crash of a gasoline tanker that also destroyed five buildings, which I don't think we can lay at the feet of the streetcar itself.
I do want INFO on my CI servers.
Why does it have to be in memory?

I’m sure you’re already aware of this, but there are all kinds of very real scenarios that could lead to corrupted data if you’re only flushing the buffer upon unmounting.

Sounds like you’ve got an interesting problem you’re trying to solve though.
Not OP and this is a week old thread, but I own multiple OP-Zs, OP-1f, and PO-133. Been using OP-Z since release. Big fan of their gear but not the build quality.

Here is what possibly could work:

OP-1f: a tough one to replace but possibly an iPhone + AUM app for multitrack recording and file management + any of the daws such as garageband for recording

Synths / drums apps - probably any, also Koala sampler is pretty solid.

Effects and sequencers would be hard to replicate though, might need an iPad for that (and there you can just use a Samplr app for instance)

Will need a separate audio interface and maybe a microphone though.

OP-Z: an even tougher task, sequencer-wise I’m not sure what’s out there right now, there used to be Modstep, or can try Fugue machine with audiobus

DMX and visuals would be very tricky to do, but can try making a workaround with OSC and Max maybe??

PO-133: probably Koala sampler or Samplr app

The problem with phone apps is that if developer gives up or it’s taken down from app store then you’re SOL. The upside of TE hardware stuff is that it always works (unless some hardware breaks and you need ti look up replacement / repairs)

Training a Drink Classifier with Fastai
The idea that error handling is "not part of the code" is silly though. My impression of people that hate Go's explicit error handling is that they don't want to deal with errors properly at all. "Just catch exceptions in main and print a stack trace, it's fine."

Rust's error handling is clearly better than Go's, but Go's is better than exceptions and the complaints about verbosity are largely complaints about having to actually consider errors.
It used to. Some time in the mid 2010s it changed to General Processing Unit, driven by things like PhysX, crowdsourced protein crunching efforts like Folding@Home, and particularly the cryptocurrency mining boom.

Now we're in the 2020s and GPUs are all about being Generative Processing Units thanks to the "AI" craze.

Romans have enslaved our children, raped our wives, desecrated our holy places and burned our priests. They razed our villages, slaughtered our herds, and forced our young men into their military service.

Doesn’t matter too much as this coincides with the streaming services dying too. Netflix has just decided to force adverts on me, so that’s been cancelled.
> No corporate IT department is timesharing users on a mainframe

Not a mainframe perhaps, but this sentiment is flat wrong otherwise, because that is how Citrix and RDS (fka Terminal Server) do app virtualization. It's an approach in widespread use both for enterprise mobile/remote access, and for thin clients in point of sale or booth applications. What's more, a *nix as the underlying infrastructure is far from unusual.

I have first-hand insider knowledge of two financial institutions that prefer this delivery model to manage the attack surface in retail settings, and a supermarket chain that prefers it because employee theft is seen as a problem. It’s also a model that is easy to describe and pitch to corporate CIOs, which is undoubtedly a merit in the eyes of many project managers.

One of the above financial institutions actually does still have an entire department of users logged in to an S/390 rented from IBM. They’ve been trying to discontinue the mainframe for years. I’m told there are similar continuing circumstances in airline reservations and credit card schemes; not just transaction processing, but connected interactive user sessions.

This is what corporate IT actually looks like. It is super different to the tech environments and white-collar head offices many of us think are the universal exemplar.
If it is not the result of mental illness, then yes. In Switzerland, you can go and legally end your life.
I'm not talking about the inner structure, I'm talking about the part where they unfold a proton in such a way that it envelops their entire planet and blocks all incoming light from their sun, meaning that it is continuously absorbing quadrillions of watts of power, although it still has the mass of a proton. It's grotesque, like bouncing off asteroids with gold leaf, but what's telling to me is that I don't think the author thought about it at all.

And then they send it off and control it remotely using quantum entanglement, except that entanglement, as far as we know, cannot be used to transmit information faster than light, let alone momentum. Furthermore, in order to be effective at anything, the sophon has to observe the world and transmit information back and forth, except that the capture and transmission of any nontrivial amount of information exceeds the mass energy of a proton by several orders of magnitude.
I bet way more than 80%.
