It's not even about quality. Honestly, much of it is just that megachains aren't cool. I'm not above eating at Red Lobster but if I have to pick where I'm going to spend my money it's hardly going to be the first choice.
After a few very late nights I finally have a live working POC of S3 with SSL running on my own hardware. In the video I create a bucket in the Vue3.js web UI which sends an API request to the Node.js backend which uses the Kubernetes API to create an instance of Minio Object Store which is attached to a Longhorn persistent volume which is replicated across 3 SSDs. All of the code and instructions can be found on my GitHub
Very cool! One small point of pedantry:

> A tree with multiple inheritance (sometimes called tangled tree) cannot be represented by using a classic tree visualization. It is technically a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with one (or more) nodes identified as root.

What is the difference between a DAG and a tangled tree? Isn't any DAG a tangled tree? I don't see immediately why a new definition is required.

What do you think "enshittification" means, exactly?
It's not about what people or scientists say. It's the wrong frame to think about it in.

Pharmaceuticals these days run as businesses, and its not financially beneficial for them to even quantify the medicinal qualities of chemically unprocessed plants. Because you can't build a competitive advantage around something like that. So, while they often take inspiration taken from plant based compounds, usually the essential compounds are extracted, a synthetic process developed to manufacture them, and only the medical properties of the resultant product studied via trials.

It would do well for publicly funded medicine to reserve some funding for quantifying the medicinal properties of plants used directly.
Prostate cancer becomes more commonplace as men grow older, but also less virulent.

An urologist whom I helped with typesetting of his PhD thesis (in LaTeX, funny guy) told me once that in patients over 70, basically everyone has some cancerous cells in his biopsy samples, but that these usually aren't actually dangerous to the patients.
It's also worth noting that "killing people for profit" is not limited to murder: companies kill people all the time - rarely in the form of murder, less rarely in the form of homicide (think security and military contractors), commonly in the form of gross negligence, safety violations, and polution.
Whats my political slant? This is just what I've experienced.

Those on the hard right very much have this problem, eg see the Trump campaign, and feel no need to even loosely reference logic or rationality, let alone the truth.

And your comment reflects the right's sensitivity to it.

I'm certainly not a tool of the left, they're probably the stupidest of the bunch because they've been so easily co-opted by the Russian and Chinese with anti-war nonsense, especially the notion that Ukraine or the US are responsible for, or in any control of, a war of someone else's conquest.

Quality control and management ... seem to be the secret sauce to restaurants and are amusingly unrelated to the actual food / recipes and etc.

I too have a few local places that despite being busy and great food for ages, suddenly couldn't keep good people working there. They were doing great then just fell on their face.

I suspect that they just couldn't adapt to it being more difficult to retain / keep good people and everything else suffered.

Oregon passed a ballot measure in the early 90's that is essentially the same.

A mile away I have a literal mansion that is on the market for $8m. looking up the property taxes, the house has been owned by a trust since the late 80's, and they pay less in property taxes on the mansion and 15 acres than I do for my regular house in the suburbs..

I'm don't know them, but have heard its the kids that live in the house now, but the trust didn't sell or change so taxes have been kept the same.

Also have a house down the street that has been completely vacant for 2 years now, in the middle of a housing crisis in my area. The owner passed away, and the family couldn't decide what to do with her stuff. I talked to one of them, he said the taxes are only $500/year on the place, and utilities are less than $100/month, and pretty cheap to have a crew mow the lawn weekly, till they decide what to do.
And that's why the housing situation is so different in other developed countries without rent control, right? Like look at the U.S, most states don't allow any sort of rent control and (check notes) they're uh, hmm, only short 7.2 million homes? Yup, no rent control sure is the fix. Definitely don't need governments stepping and mandating housing. Where has that worked? Singapore? Is that even a real place?

We need more private landlords with the freedom to randomly raise rents by any percentage they want. Surely that's the only way to get enough housing at affordable levels.
I wonder how the pricing works out. I look at the failure rates and my general take away is "buy Western Digital" for my qty 1 purchases. But if you look within a category, say 14TB drives, they've purchased 4 times as many Toshiba drives as WD. Are the vendors pricing these such that it's worth a slightly higher failure rate to get the $/TB down?

I once was lucky enough to have my primary care physician through a university teaching hospital that outsourced almost nothing. Billing was in-house, insurance ops and claims processing was in-house. Labs went to an accredited in-house reference laboratory.

I am sure it was easy to justify doing everything in-house because the university held accredited degree programs for virtually every healthcare area from medical school to ophthalmology and optometry, physical therapy, pathology, dentistry, a college of nursing, pharmacy school, as well as specialties like oncology, cardiology, and anesthesiology. For the areas that weren't medical disciplines, they operated degree programs for bioinformatics, hospitality (the hospital cafeteria was excellent), and several other areas that just so happened to address essentially all the needs of a modern healthcare organization.

It was a fantastic model, but it might have only made sense in the context of a large teaching hospital.

I've been thinking of something like this since LLMs became popular. I've toyed around with some proof of concepts, but haven't had the time or motivation to work on it lately. I love the idea of tagging everything and showing connections when you're searching for things. Also semantic search would be great, like "blue website with information about databases I read last week" would be super powerful in my opinion.

I really love the idea of digital knowledge bases, but as you said, I think we're leaving a lot on the table. I need to get back to my project of a user-owned-data knowledge base.

The way it works is that the government or a billionaire (or both in partnership) completely though indirectly fund a dozen nonprofits that push their own current agenda. They also pump money into universities, or into individual projects run by people important within universities, in order to endow "The Freedom Chair for Injustice Studies" or some equally vapid shit. They then generate papers through the universities to support their agenda, and use the nonprofit to write press releases, that then are published in media outlets that will publish any rich man's claim, such as the NYT or WP, and other outlets that they have partial or complete ownership of.

This generates enough bullshit smoke to nominally justify a federal investigation, which they use to harass anyone who disagrees with them, and threaten their businesses or jobs. The combination of active investigations and 10 different stories in every paper every day about "potential dangers," and 24/7 coverage of the non-issue, gives politicians enough cover to pass laws against expressing opinions against the interests of the people who pay, and other laws for more surveillance to make sure no one has a wrong opinion secretly.

FireCalc is also great - https://firecalc.com/. Just put in spending, portfolio & years (tiny box on right), and it does back testing analysis over investment windows going back to 1871.

For $4M and $140k annual spend:

> Here is how your portfolio would have fared in each of the 124 cycles. The lowest and highest portfolio balance at the end of your retirement was $348,731 to $24,529,049, with an average at the end of $9,233,594. (Note: this is looking at all the possible periods; values are in terms of the dollars as of the beginning of the retirement period for each cycle.)

> For our purposes, failure means the portfolio was depleted before the end of the 30 years. FIRECalc found that 0 cycles failed, for a success rate of 100.0%.
Logseq's got a lot of promise, but unfortunately the inability to sync for without a subscription (last I checked) was an issue for me.

I just don't get this obsession with the idea that only recently-released "AAA" games are real games (or that the only TRUE gamers are those who play them) and it seems like the market and general population doesn't quite grasp it either. These FAKE gamers buy laptops too, and they probably won't see the value in a discrete GPU.

Besides, it's ultimately irrelevant because when Strix Halo comes out, it's going to have the memory bandwidth and compute performance to be able to play any "AAA" game released for consoles until consoles refresh around ~2028, which is 4 solid years of performance before new releases will really make them struggle. These APUs won't be competing with the 4080, but instead the 4060, which is a more popular product anyways. Discrete GPUs are in an awkward spot where they're not going to be significantly more future proof than an APU you can buy, but will suck more power, and will likely have a higher BOM to manufacture.

If you asked TRUE gamers if gaming laptop with Nvidia GPUs were worth it a few years ago, when they were already the majority of the market, they would have laughed in your face and pointed out how they didn't play the latest AAA games good and thus TRUE gamers won't buy them and to instead buy a cheap laptop paired with a big desktop.
The goal is to start storing multiple meshes in the same vertex buffer/index buffer. (I already have a decent chunk of this code written in a branch.) This reduces binding overhead, but moreover it allows us to start using multidraw indirect where supported, which should reduce drawcall counts dramatically. I measured a 97% drawcall count reduction for the opaque pass on the Bistro test scene, for example. The benefits are even higher for shadow maps, because they use a single shader and so the drawcall count should drop to the single digits in most cases.

I've said it before, but if drawcall count is a problem in your game, you should complain to the engine vendor. On modern GPUs, there's no reason people should be manually optimizing for drawcall count in 2024. Game engines have the tools to make it a non-issue; they just need to use them.

In the meantime, one thing that comes to mind is that simply embedding the whole contents of the webpages after scraping them didn't yield very good search results. As an example, an article about Python might only mention Python by name once. I found that trimming extraneous strings (e.g. menus, share links), and then extracting key themes + embedding those directly yielded much, much better results.

That's unfortunate about the default parameters, but note that you can also replace the KDF altogether (besides just not using it).

I have some background in pharmacology, particularly psychopharmacology and I can tell you that it's not even remotely true. There's so much studies out there... so, what kind of studies were you reading?

For example - Rapamycin/sirolimus, ephedrine, morphine, antibiotics (e.g. penicillins, cephalosporins), psilocin and psilocybin, are the first naturally occuring (in significant quantities) that came to my mind when thinking about some. Neither of these were studied only in any combination drugs (FDCs). And a lot of close derivatives of naturally occuring substances, like aspirin. This could be really a huge list (of both).

"The next thing is also fairly straightforward: we expect Kotlin to drive the sales of IntelliJ IDEA. We’re working on a new language, but we do not plan to replace the entire ecosystem of libraries that have been built for the JVM. So you’re likely to keep using Spring and Hibernate, or other similar frameworks, in your projects built with Kotlin. And while the development tools for Kotlin itself are going to be free and open-source, the support for the enterprise development frameworks and tools will remain part of IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, the commercial version of the IDE. And of course the framework support will be fully integrated with Kotlin."
