But we couldn't get it to work from a biz perspective for several reasons.

They chose violence.

They chose to copy Apple; they chose to go all in on the horrible idea of Convergence, where you have one monitor, and it's a touch screen (and if you don't, you're a second class citizen stuck in the old ways of using, y'know, an actual computer). Modern GTK removes ever more features and has wording like "tap" and "swipe", basically telling you it expects you to be a mobile developer. Everything gets more complex, more poorly documented, and more rigid, and the only thing they tell you is it's gonna happen more, and more often.

If you ask them how to do something GNOME doesn't expect -- like remove rounded corners from your GTK window, they straight up tell you you're stupid for wanting to. Sympathetic lurkers don't know but try to offer some shots in the dark. Later, you figure out it's quite easy -- just undocumented, and the GNOME devs didn't wanna tell you. :D

It's no wonder all GTK apps are toy apps compared to Qt apps and that many projects are switching from GTK to Qt, and never the other way around. Good riddance.

I've had constant issues with the 5000 series Ryzen. I've RMA'd twice a 5500. The original purchase showed severe I/O buffering/latency issues once the CPU got any heavy load. First RMA came back unable to work properly with my M.2 NVMe drive. Second RMA will just randomly lock up. All of these were tested across multiple motherboards, and every time, the problem has stopped when I put in a 2000 or 3000 series Ryzen. All of the motherboards are updated on UEFI/BIOS and support the processor (I'm not using anything lower than a B450M chipset on any motherboard.)

I didn't see any mention of having a spinning surface.

A tapered cylinder "gravity gym" with adjustable angled walls, and variable speed spinning, could smoothly create much greater "gravity".

Spin gravity would also enable body weight exercises, core exercises, stationary or small area cardio like exercise bikes, VR games, yoga, etc. Even sleeping.

EDIT: I missed this:

> but Moon-based centrifuges allowing locomotion inside would pose technical challenges

Still think it will be inevitable. Far more useful physically and psychologically. "Spinning surface" is a simple challenge, compared to "low-g health deterioration" and "bored to death of running in circles".

Equipment like this might resolve issues with off-world childbearing. Time to "spin up" some space rabbits and see what we get! (Hopefully not tribbles.)

Spin areas will surely become ubiquitous in all low gravity colonies.

Startup anyone?
But probably on a slight angle so the sum of the centripetal force and the moon's gravity is along the body axis.

Or perhaps a bowl shape that you climb up the sides of as you speed up.
I'll add my two cents here. A lot of the work that goes into a codebase doesn't necessarily appear in the final product. Sometimes code is hastily written to get the system working, and then it has to be rewritten to be faster or more stable or what have you. A rewrite can just reimplement the final code. Sometimes the company changes direction (think of the stereotypical aimless startup that pivots every Tuesday) and the code solves a problem that the company is no longer interested in. A rewrite can just ignore that code. Some of this has to do with technical debt, but it's also due to the fact that it's easier to do something when you know exactly what you're trying to do.

It's like the difference between between reproducing a proof from a math textbook and actually proving a new theorem yourself. The latter takes a lot more time and effort, even though the amount of work in both cases looks the same from the outside.

It's not greed that has varied. It was an inflationary shock. Greed explains why it hasn't gone back down once the shocks are gone. It's basically price collusion - nobody wants to be the first to decrease prices, so nobody does.

Before the inflation, there wasn't an opportunity to collude in this manner.

Oh yes, thank you for the link to that! Looks like that is an instruction set for representing the font glyphs themselves? I was talking about the instruction set in TFM which is for representing meta information, like ligatures and kerning between glyphs, and not for the actual glyphs. The glpyhs for the original TeX fonts are described using Metafont which is an interpreted language.
The standard lib was considered core code and to make even the smallest change can have a huge impact. It was more a matter of, "if we're going to do a v2 language, what would we fix?" And, as it turns out this required no regression of existing core language code.

Not just Asian, but also straight-while-males.

If you're a poor white male student in America, you're kinda screwed from both sides. America is divided by class, but responds by addressing race. The end result is that poor white kids get held to the higher standard as if they had the advantages of their rich white peers, magnifying the discrepancy between merit and privilege even further.

If even a tiny percent of the discouraged and disenfranchised white students in flyover country believed they had a fair chance at admissions and scholarships to elite schools, that could be a huge increase in applications.
> financialization of housing" is basically the same thing as "FED“

You clearly do not understand what financialisation actually means - it’s creation of derivative financial products based on the underlying assets. Eventually these products become so complex, no one knows what’s happening to the original assets. That’s how we got 2008

And you can have 2008 style collapse even if your currency is based on gold coins.

Ask cloud-file-storage and semantic-search?
I am looking for a service which offers cloud-file-storage + semantic-search.

Google Drive works well if I want cloud-file-storage + lexical-search.

I studied the box.com website and found a product which captures my interest:

https://www.box.com/ai

I tried to signup for a box.com account but it failed at the final step.

The mechanism which is supposed to send me verification-e-mail is acting broken.

Unfortunately, box.com has my credit card now and I worry they will charge me for the privilege of having a broken account on box.com.

I studied MS-One-Drive and I see no semantic-search there.

I compared Google-drive lexical-search to MS-One-Drive and Google works better.

I studied gradient.ai and found their semantic search to be really good but their folder UI is clumsy.

I studied vectara.com and found their folder UI to be better than gradient.ai but gradient's semantic search is better.

What's a good service which offers cloud-file-storage + semantic-search?

... which Ford told us was because radio stations were modernizing "by offering Internet streaming through mobile apps, FM, digital and satellite radio options," ...

AM is free. FM doesn't have the range. Mobile Apps require subscription AND cell service. With 3G and 4G going away range is actually getting worse. Satellite (SiriusXM) also requires a subscription.

So what do we do? Free SiriusXM? That still requires someone to connect to a broadcasting station that sends it up to the satellite, and then the satellite broadcasts it, after which I can hear it on the radio.

AM just makes more sense.
Dating app scams are common in poorer countries that have a lot of international tourism (Colombia, Vietnam, etc). Women will match with men, suggest they go to a bar/restaurant/whatever they have an agreement with, ring up an enormous tab that the man pays for, then leave.

I'm still waiting for this. Here's some recent tweets about people with variations of the river crossing puzzle. All LLMs seem to fail pretty badly.

LLMs are impressive enough as they are (compression systems with human language interface), you don't need to hype them up to something they're not.

I do some hobby music production and have no idea where I would incorporate any TE equipment into my life, but I can't explain it, I have this visceral reaction that I want to buy their stuff. It just looks so cool. Thankfully it's not at my "won't use more than 3 days then throw in my music closet" price level so I've never even come close to ordering anything.

I've been tempted to get that cheaper Pocket Operator to see if I'm missing out on something but have abstained so far.

The video defines “financialization of housing” as referring to cheap mortgages and low interest rates, and not anything to do with fiat currency. It’s fine to offer your own theory, but trying to claim the video is about your theory when it’s not is disingenuous. That aside, claiming it is down to the use fiat currency doesn’t explain why it’s a new issue, when we’ve been on fiat currency longer than most of us have been alive.

Not for discontinuous functions, as your paper explains, we know that g exists for discontinuous bounded, but nothing to find it with.

> A practical construction of g in cases with discontinuous bounded and un-
bounded functions is not yet known. For such cases Theorem 2.1 gives only a theoretical understanding of the representation problem. This is because for the representation of discontinuous bounded functions we have derived (2.1) from the fact that the range of the operator Z∗ is the whole space of bounded functions B(Id). This fact directly gives us a formula (2.1) but does not tell how the bounded one-variable function g is attained. For the representation of unbounded functions we have used a linear extension of the functional F , existence of which is based on Zorn’s lemma (see, e.g., [19, Ch. 3]). Application of Zorn’s lemma provides no mechanism for practical construction of such an extension. Zorn’s lemma helps to assert only its existence.

If you look at the OP post arxiv link, you will see they are using splines .

https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.19756

Still interesting and potentially useful, but not useful for discontinuous functions without further discoveries.

If I am wrong please provide a link, it is of great interest to me.
The major problem with EULAs is the power disparity between the buyer and seller. It’s me vs Microsoft and I can’t practically opt out of MS Word. A secondary problem is that no one knows what’s in them because no one reads them.

A real estate deal is nothing like that. The buyer and seller have roughly equal power and everyone is represented by lawyers.
While the rabbit, based on reviews I've seen, doesn't live up to its hype yet, AI assistants won't be able to do anything you can't do yourself on a smartphone or regular laptop.

Instead, the idea is they will be able to do these things for you, similar to a human assistant. Currently only rich people can afford assistants to manage their lives for them. This could be about to change.

I bought a couple pieces of real estate in Japan as a foriegner, and I don't think it's too much of a bureaucratic nightmare. There is a lot of paperwork, yes, and there are a lot of different taxes and fees involved. But your real estate agent would prepare all the paperwork for you and should be able to give a fairly precise estimate of fees in advance. All you really need to do is provide your signature/stamp of approval a bunch of times, and transfer the money.

You would also need to pay real-estate taxes, as well as any income/capital gains taxes you made on the property. Japan also has "neighborhood associations" [1] that coordinate/provide services like trash pickup and snow removal that you probably should join, although I'm not sure if its's legally required.

There are real-estate agents in Japan that specialize in working with international clients. Presumably they could streamline a lot of the process for you. There are also property management companies that could provide a lot of different services, such as basic maintanence, finding renters, etc. As someone who would be absent from Japan for long stretches of time, I think realistically you would need to pay for some of these services (unless you know someone who could look after the property for you).

I tried to kill mindless notifications on my mac, and it's just impossible short of hacking the operating system. I put a postit note on the top right corner of the display.

Nobody seems to venture a solution, but it could be the "attention aware" [1] feature of the TrueDepth camera on newer models (that have face-sensing).

When active, these enable an iPhone to check whether a person is paying attention to their device and take action automatically, such as lowering the volume sound of alerts, including alarms, if they are not.
