I just started using an old laptop I was going to sell for my kids to be able to just slam on the keys and get interested. It's got windows 10 and man I forgot how nice it was just to turn on the pc and get moving.

Not all this garbage. Windows 11 is such trash everywhere.

I was worried when I found that I didn't have winget, but just installing windows terminal installed it with it. That's pretty much all I need.
The price is $99.
I keep reflecting on this, it's always when you get negative mismatch. Being forced to work with the wrong people (too negative, too angry, not motivated) or not having time to work on a good idea or good solution.

When you don't have to suffer these, you can work long, cause it's basically a kind of self fulfilling game.
I don’t think we’re yet in a position where we can make claims about how inevitable certain outcomes are.

It is important to remind people that technology of any sort can be error prone and that human oversight should be relied on for any automated process, LLM based or not!

I work in the legal industry and every lawyer is aware of the guy who used ChatGPT to spit out non-existing case law!
Doesn't say much about legality on paper, not even about how much of an invitation to selective enforcement it is, but looking at the Strava global heatmap through the lense of political systems is quite interesting: quite a bit of tracking in continental China, Cuba has more than Haiti. North Korea is a near-perfect blank, you can easily tell which islands belong to the south. The one spot where some tracking was registered is the ski resort they built in 2014 (apparently with a pre-used gondola system that i rode on when it was still in Ischgl). According to german wikipedia, a central excuse for building a ski resort was trying to attract tourists from China?
Always. Too bad I'm not Scott, although my name is Scott, my last name is definitely not Lucas :)
I am building https://photorealisticultrasound.com/ - an automatic tool to convert 3D ultrasounds of babies into photo-like images.

I was playing with Stable Diffusion and stumbled upon a post in r/PhotoshopRequests looking for people to do such editing manually. I tried Stable Diffusion and was surprised how good the result was. So I made it into a service.

It was challenging to kickstart the project from the marketing perspective. But there was quite some virality, which helped.

Another big challenge is number of factors affecting the quality of the results. The number of degrees of freedom to tinker with is large, so experimenting and iterating is tricky. However, I did learn a lot from this project - both technically and marketing.

Currently I am focusing on rewriting the generation pipeline to dramatically improve quality, especially on obstructed ultrasounds.
It was always a lie.
Medium doesn't have the best user experience but their SEO is fantastic (the last time I knew)
If you want to test whether x is 1.0 or 1, then (= x 1) is what you want. But = is specific to numbers and blows up on non-numbers.

The family of functions whose names begin with eq are special in that they are applicable to all objects; equal will tell you that "abc" is not 1 without complaining.
I use ChatGPT mobile app and brainstorm. I only show the child the results. Here’s a prompt: “Grim reaper wolf pet in style of Pokémon character. Make the body just out of skull and bones.”

Then I take this image to any of the number of online card creators. None are perfect. Most are half broken. You can use ChatGPT to make names. For example, we made a card for my wife who’s an attorney. We asked for character names based on her profession (law) unique last name with a fire theme. Then we asked for attack descriptions. I used these, heavily edited, to create a full card with her “likeness.”

Flaming justice hammer, anyone?!

For printing I use a laser printer w duplex. I have a trial/error workflow for lining up 4-up cards. I use a heavy poly cardstock from Terraslate. I think the 10 mil. It’s pretty close look/feel and they will last a long time.

These are purely for our own enjoyment, but we have also done play dates where we make custom cards for friends that visit.

The only downside is every kid wants their character to have 300+ HP. Ha!

Right? The people that have been justifying Tesla's stratospheric (read: way overpriced) market capitalization was that Tesla was going to be the next Exxon-Mobile with regards to providing "fuel" to EVs. Well, that ship has been sunk.

As you say, that was the #1 feature of their brand.

Oh well, they're providing plenty of opportunity for their competitors to swoop in and eat their lunch.
This is how carbon capture is being used currently. However, I it's absolutely not the goal of legislation that funds carbon capture research - research that was lobbied for by environmental groups (not that big oil didn't lobby for it too). It's also not the goal of people I know who are working on carbon capture technology research. The goal is to reduce global atmospheric carbon levels. The problem is that doing that isn't technically or economically feasible at the moment.

If we could make carbon capture cheaper and more efficient (and that's a big if - it may not be possible, which is why research is needed), carbon could be permanently sequestered.
The legislature has to use the tools the market provides to fix the market.

Many family doctors in Ontario don't use the fee for service model.

Instead, they have a roster of patients and they recieve a flat fee every year for having a patient on their roster.

I'm not sure it changes any of the downsides you mentioned, though, since the yearly flat fee is quite low so doctors still need to minimize the time spent per patient.
If that’s the argument against, it could just be denied by default and require the user to go into settings to allow. The annoyance isn’t too bad given webserial is probably only used on occasion, and it means no concerns about consent spam or fingerprinting.
Iridium is 140 miles further away from earth than starlink, though..
I've only tried Valentina/Seamly2D but yes, most of these programs let you export your design as a pattern that can be constructed, typically as a PDF.

Once you have a PDF, you can:
1 - print it in poster format across many pages of paper
2 - use a projector aimed down onto your cutting surface and then cut the pieces out
or 3 - a few people are fortunate enough to use laser cutters to cut out their fabric.

Speaking more on point 2, projector sewing got way easier this year with the release of automatic calibration software, namely https://projectandcut.com and https://www.patternprojector.com. (The first one is my project). If you want to learn more about it, you might also look at Projectors for Sewing facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/481078582801085) or https://projectorsewing.com or search google or YouTube.

You really can be set up for $100. I also think this could work with some forms of woodworking, or, say, crafting foam armour or decorating cakes.
Well, if they are not up to date I guess with the latest; it changes so fast and there are so many examples of all different flavours of how to do something... I guess they will find a mechanism which will make newer info more relevant and older info more forgotten in some cases and also a way to draw in the latest all the time. My problem is more the not built/designed etc here issue; when you have a react WidgetBlah library and someone else also wrote one, there are reasons you rolled your own (often also not but ok), but why didn’t you keep the api the same. People talk about features here as a reason for breakage but when I compare a breaking feature change (for instance, a react component sig changed from one version to another) then I hardly ever see a reason why that was not made backward compatible. I have complained about this in many GitHub issues and the answer is usually ‘this way is better, just refactor it: it’s easy’. Sure it’s easy but it’s work and this happens a little too often. Sometimes I would like Java standard bodies and voting about api changes and this is one of those.
It's just nice to make physical shit with your hands, I've been a professional artist for a quarter of a century but it's been pretty much entirely digital. I've been fucking around with some canvases lately and I am making so many mistakes as I try to dredge up what I learnt about the physical process of painting thirty or forty years ago, but it's fun to get my hands dirty for a change.

And it's not just "it's more fun when you're not doing a thing for money", I certainly plan to try and sell these things when they're done, and I've relentlessly optimized the way I work for being fun to do. It's just really nice to be able to look at a physical thing and know that you made it.
Author here - that's not the case, this post was in the works for months haha

Maybe it's a bit of Baader–Meinhof phenomenon at play?
So what do you think the non-monetary realized cost is? And that cost compare to the benefit of a more educated populace?

At least with your patent example, we can measure it in economic terms, since patents are a commercial protection. Once we start getting into wishy-washy measures, people can make just about any arbitrary point to fit their narrative.
You are criticizing a unsourced claim on Wikipedia, not validated information about Patternizer.

Regardless, how do you think crimes are investigated? Is it your theory that suspects must volunteer themselves before being investigated?

> What is the ideal balance between protecting the key and respecting the user's choice and freedom?

There's no right answer to this. The eternal struggle of mankind is living with the fact that other people have different value systems and therefore end up making decisions that are consistent with their values but that someone else disagrees with.

This is the classic "do you give the user enough rope to shoot themselves in the foot with?" dilemma. Not being able to do what you want with a key that belongs to you? Bad. Having your key stolen because the systems that look after it explicitly let it be exported? Also bad!
I thought Starlink controlled the satellites. I imagine it won't be very difficult to deny connection with the satellites over Russia and Ukraine and that only those with special authorization be able to connect. It's almost obvious that Starlink isn't willing to enforce the ban.
Helldivers is the best selling game of the year I think.

Agreed - for a lot of use cases all you need is a pathname-like way to refer to elements in the DOM, not a search/filtering mechanism.

I could imagine that in a head-on intercept of an Iridium satellite, some of the debris might make it into higher or lower orbital shell, but to be fair I don't know how realistic that actually is.
I would've used Windows 10 on my Surface Pro X if it supported x64 emulation. Windows 11's UI is just awful on a tablet. The only real improvement is that they've migrated a few new settings to the new more touchable settings.
> In 1981, 39% of Australians said childhood obedience was important and 45% said divorce was justifiable. That same year, 32% and 10% of Pakistanis respectively agreed with those statements. In 2021, only 18% of Australians compared to 49% of Pakistanis said childhood obedience was important, while 74% of Australians and 15% of Pakistanis viewed divorce as justifiable.

I wish there was more raw data here. This is the only raw data provided and in it acceptance of divorce in Pakistan grew by 50%. It's still low at 15%, but the relative growth is significant! Given the article claims correlation with wealth growth, Pakistan probably isn't a great example, since their economy has been relatively flat.

Not saying the article is wrong, but I'd simply love to get more data to understand the magnitude.
No, more along the lines of it seemed gimmicky to me. Could easily just be an app.
I always have this mild concern in the back of my mind, that the house is absolutely chock-a-block with gadgets that contain LiPo type batteries, that are left on chargers. I try to at least have them all unplugged if we go away for a while, and usually failing batteries have the courtesy of visibly bloating long before they go kaboom (in fact I've had several bloated but none rupture over the years).

Charging an EV in the garage, hmmm. Sure the probability of something going wrong is low, but it it does go wrong, it's a near 100% probability that the house burns down! So I'd rather have a possibly dodgy (but probably not; one can recognize sound enginering at a glance in the photo) charger and car outdoors, than one inside on a name-brand charger.
'C-like language' has irked me for decades, since C was one of the first languages I learned and most languages that expression refers to are nothing like C, so when I came across lispers referring to Algol-like or Algol-descendants I took it a step further.

A web search tells me it's already in use in Star Trek.
Why not just set up a rule to auto-format the code before it is committed so that nobody wastes time discussing formatting trivialities and the repo stays consistent?

Yes, the past glory of Legally mandated racial discrimination, and a war on Black people and Hispanics on a pretext of a War on Drugs.
Yes well… I can see where the confusion would arise if we believed keeping foreign policy unchanged and just calling it globalization would somehow align the values.
Heh, yeah, pretty much. Been better than Olive Garden for a decade or more, and cheaper.

I guess people just like the breadsticks that much (it is, admittedly, a lot more work to replicate those at home than the dump-frozen-bag-in-a-frying-pan process for beating most of their main dishes at home)
> I suppose you're a citizen of the West; then US hegemony is certainly in your best interest

I am guessing you are from US, and you guys do not notice that quite often, domestic US politics shifts and you have a schism and throw one of your ‘allies’ under the bus.

Mr. Macron he just made a speech about how Europe can no longer rely on US.

> Xml can represent nodes within the value, which is impossible for json/yaml. To convert such xml value to the latter, you have to break up such a node in fragments and represent them as a collection in json/yaml.

Are you talking about XML like `<text>Something something <para> inside </para> something else</text>`? I thought this would also presented as the text element having three children, the text "Something something", the <para> tag with its subtree, and the text "something else". Am I misremembering?
My comment I tried to post on the flagged thread before it got flagged:

--

I've seen a proliferation of these SaaS boilerplates recently. I've bought a couple of them to look at how their put together, and they seem like the ThemeForest themes of 2024. Shoddy code, weird assumptions and defaults, you invariably you end up having to spend time rewriting at least a couple components because they use some service or plugin that you don't want to. It's like stepping into someone else's half-finished project after they leave so rather than just building what you want from scratch you end up spending that time learning their conventions and homegrown framework.

Without being able to see the code it's impossible to tell if this is better or worse. What makes FasterNode different?

There's no information about you (Rahim) on the page which makes me nervous. I have no idea who you are and you're trying to convince me to give you $100.

The X has zero tweets, zero followers, and is following nobody. The instagram has no followers, 0 posts, and is private.

I feel like if I pay for this it's going to be abandoned in a few weeks if you don't get enough sales to warrant spending more time on it.
I never realised this - thanks!

It feels like by adding styling I could make those who click on the “feed” link, but don’t yet know what RSS is have a much better experience than seeing unstyled XML and being confused.
When it comes to security, having to paper over buggy, not well realized implementations is just asking for disaster.

You want your security code to look and act and BE boring. Nothing about Passkey's fits that definition at the implementation or code level.

The idea IS awesome, the implementation is terrible. Not because they were awful developers that implemented it, but because it got rushed to production before it was ready. If they continue to iterate and fix the issues and make the implementation boring, close off all the edge cases, etc. Then it will be amazing and I'll praise passkeys. Until then, I'm afraid it's a new x.509/client TLS cert in the browser disaster waiting to happen.

One thing that drives me nuts is that you can’t get pure talc in the US (baby powder has stuff added to it, including oils and fragrance; the oils can screw up plastic, etc over time).

The last time I looked, it was being sold as though it was a controlled substance alongside laboratory grade ethanol, etc.

On the one hand, baby powder causes ovarian cancer (there is evidence that this is true for talc that is not contaminated with asbestos, despite J&J’s long disinformation campaigns).

On the other, if you want to use it in an application where it is perfectly safe, it’s essentially impossible to buy an appropriate product.
Yes, that was weird to say the least. The CV page is shockingly bare--there's no actual experience listed except a link (on the PDF to another PDF) to "More experience" in the Miscellaneous category which is the actual resume.

The main failure is to present oneself in the manner expected (and effective) to those hiring. Not many will spend time wading through such bespoke oddness, when the experience appears relatively standard.
> In a limited set of cases would I ever expect a result to be valid if there was also an error.

You have to return something for T. Go does not allow you to return nothing. Why would you return garbage when you can just as easily return the zero value, that of which should always be useful? Yes, you technically could return garbage, but why? There is absolutely no justification. Consider,

func GetUser() (*User, error) {
return nil, ErrNotFound
}

Here, T is useful. You don't necessarily need to look at error in this example. You can meaningfully work with T alone if the error state is insignificant to your specific use case.

What's the alternative?

func GetUser() (*User, error) {
return &User{
Name: "No User",
Email: "not@found.com",
Role: DoesNotExist,
}, ErrNotFound
}

Why on earth would you do that?

> Also, when you disagree with what someone thinks, there are different ways to respond and using "You think wrong" is probably one of the most confrontational ways of responding.

Imagine thinking that the output of software is being confrontational or exhibiting of any kind of output that congers this kind of change in "emotional state". As nonsensical as the random number generator outputting three consecutive 6s and then concluding that it must be the work of the devil. So strange.
We're using JSONPath to annotate parts of JSON fields in PostgreSQL that need to be extracted/replaced for localization. Whilst I'd naturally prefer we didn't store display copy in these structures, it was a fun thing to implement.

Contrived example:

@localizedModel({
title: {},
quiz: { jsonPath: '$.[question,answerMd]' },
})
class MyQuiz {
title: string;
quiz: JSONObject;
}

Minor nitpick - they didnt build their own CPU.

They licensed a design from ARM, tweaked it, and sent it to TSMC to manufacture it.

>Software engineers are REALLY GOOD at estimating effort.

The most common problem with estimates is hidden or forgotten complexity, which makes both time and "effort", whatever that means, go up.
