I'm sorry, quite right - you did. Using the computer locale.

The trouble is that people transmit data from one computer to another and so from one locale to another. And sadly, they do not always set the character encoding header correctly, if they even know what that is.

I mean take csvbase's case. It has to accept csv files from anyone. And christ preserve me, they aren't going to label them as "Win-1252" or "UTF-16" or whatever.

There is no alternative but statistical detection. And there is good evidence that this solution is fairly satisfactory, because millions of computers are using it right now! csvbase uploads run into more problems with trailing commas than with character detection getting it wrong at this point, that is your "Schelling Point" I'm afraid!

Two different "philosophical" answers to this:

1. Patching known holes after the fact is just an arm's race that will never end. Better to do secure foundations. But that leads to 2:

2. We can probably build a software environment that is a lot more secure than what we have now, but no one could afford to pay for building it, and possibly no one could afford the operating costs to use it.
I agree this is an important issue/question.

MY prototype tree map nav element is 2D - a plane. You can scroll around and zoom in. It seems good to me. On the other hand, there is a level of complexity that I still do not really understand. What about a cube with a different tree map (or other?) on each face. A rotatable cube does not break the paradigm. (Or a dodecahedron for that matter.)

Another thing I am thinking about is how will the user transition "into" a place? For example, a user finds email on the tremap and now wants to send one. What is the transition to writing an email? The kind of transition is the part I am curious about.

I personally find the concept of going "into" a place most appealing. It makes intuitive sense to me. I zoom into a building in NYC and click on it and I am now "in the place". But the tech part of me says "oh just do an overlay, make the canvas div hidden and put up a little text entry form". Does it matter?

I suspect but do not know that keeping the paradigm => going into a place on the map => would be more engaging, comprehensible, user friendly than suddenly breaking the illusion. But I am just guessing.

Many UI tools and libraries offer gradient palettes for selecting shades to build UI interfaces.

However, incorporating specific colors into these gradients can be challenging. To address this, we developed a simple gradient palette generator using Oklch, allowing for the creation of custom palettes.

SmarterEveryDay's proposal is both more expensive and less capable than using 14 Starship refueling flights. 14 flights seems insane, but since the system is fully reusable, the only consumables are <$2M of fuel each flight. Compared against the $4.3B cost of each SLS flight...

Criticize the parts of the system that are both expensive and prevent us from taking advantage of Starship's ability to land 100 tons on the moon. SLS.

Yes, of course it is possible to use VNC with X11 as we use RDP with Windows. But it is additional protocol. Why do we need it if "X11 is network transparent"?

It is different models: X11 assume you have only one terminal (effectively client, but "server" in X11 parlance) and many system to run software (effectively servers, but "client" in X11 parlance).

VNC/RDP works other way around: one server, which runs all you programs, and you can attach to it from different terminals/clients.

It is not exactly so, as RDP can forward only some programs (windows) and not full screen, of course, but close enough.

I cannot speak for everybody, but for me (and my friends with whom I discussed this) second use case is much more important, than first one.

About speed: maybe, with 10Mbit Ethernet it was true. But now I could work with Photoshop (!) from my office (client) on my home workstation (server) via RDP and don't notice delays. Yes, I have 1000/100Mbit asymmetric connection at home and I don't know what is used by my office. One time I've forgot that it is RDP to my home sysmtem and started Youtube video. I was surprised, that video and sound is slightly off-sync, and only after that recognized that it is RDP, not local browser!

Much worse connection is enough for less demanding tasks, I've worked with "normal" not graphics-heavy programs via 4G connection in India (my home system is in the Netherlands) and it was not painful. Yes, there was perceivable delay, but for task like "Open PDF, open browser, fill form on site by copy-n-pasting strings from PDF, submitting form and authorize with 2FA from phone" it was perfectly Ok.

But, yes, if you need to assemble 10 windows from 10 remote machines on one screen, X11 is the best.
I've tried it, and it was pretty bad.

This type of service needs Apple and Google support to go anywhere, given how restricted access to radio hardware and background processing is on iOS and Android, and they're clearly not interested.

Apple has even rolled back AirDrop functionality, supposedly because of people receiving unwanted photos (which I don't doubt happened, but changing the defaut could address that – just outright removing the option to receive from anybody seems wrong).

There's absolutely no reason we shouldn't at least have a P2P Wi-Fi based chat client preinstalled on every iOS and Android phone, with a default of being able to message only known contacts. I mean, even the Nintendo DS could do it in 2004!

For my own tech yes, I can ignore it. But for job opportunities, the unfortunate reality is that recruiters, hiring managers, and interviewers will be looking for knowledge about relevant tech. I don't want to learn NextJS, and you will not catch me trying to use it in my free time. But if one day I apply for a job that's looking for people with knowledge of NextJS, I probably won't get that job. And if it comes to pass that the majority of the industry moves to NextJS, I'm now at significant risk.

Of course, when I hire I look for fundamental skills, not familiarity with XYZ technology. But I've seen people hire that way, and I know it's fairly common in our field.

Sam Altman was on the board of reddit until recently. I don't know how these things work in SV but I wouldn't think one would go from 'partly running a company' to 'being charged for something that is probably not enforceable'. It would maybe make sense if they did pay reddit for it, because it isn't Sam's money, anyway, but for reddit to demand payment and then OpenAI to just not use the text data from reddit -- one of the largest sources of good quality conversational training data available -- strikes me as odd. But nothing would surprise me when it comes to this market.
I went down a related rabbit hole recently after realizing based on a passage in don quixote that all of the characters (and the reader!) were assumed to be familiar with the size and general appearance of an ostrich.

DQ was written in like 1600 but based on chivalric romances from 200-400 years earlier, where it turns out ostriches also come up from time to time, even in heraldry of some characters.

Basically what I came to is that southern europe of that time had a high degree of exchange with other mediterranean cultures including asia minor and northern africa where ostriches were present. And these seafaring cultural and trade spheres also extended into nothern europe and the british isles.

So ultimately I don't think they were going off the bible for it. It's no more unusual than someone from that area being aware of lions or crocodiles and their general appearance. It would probably be very unusual to have seen one, but they would appear in puppet shows and travelers tales for sure. Literate people may have seen them in manuscript illuminations as well.

Nuget did not exist until around .NET Framework 4.0 (which was 14 years ago).

I specifically noted the post-.NET Framework experience. It is a continuous problem that community demands from the standard library and/or sdk to ship something it has no business shipping (like the sibling comment complaining about System.Drawing, it is truly an 8th OSI layer issue). And when there's an OSS solution, there is a stark difference in comments between developers who understand that OSS projects are projects of collaborative development (meaning that submitting and issue you care about may involve a degree of contribution) and the ones which demand paid level of support for free.

JavaScript is also just generally massive. Surely you're not going to hold it against Rust that Rust projects are less frequently contributed to? C# and .NET are unique language and platform which do overlap with Java and JVM, and other similar class of tools but do solve problems the latter cannot, or solve the ones that they can but in a frequently better way (for example: trying to reach performance ceiling in Java requires way uglier tricks with worse results rather than writing clean byref/pointer based C# code with structs and struct generics).

I think it's not the same. Religions are usually not mainly about more powerful beings creating other beings. There's always a whole set of prescriptive rules, "this is how you're supposed to live your life" that doesn't apply here.

Even of those who do. Wealth cannot be extracted from existing wealth.

Will people with AI be happy to metaphorically scurry off into the forest and life alone with nothing other than their AI? So long as there is value in human-to-human social interaction, there will be value in labour. The labour may not resemble anything we can imagine today, but it will be there in some form.

And even if we assume that those with AI do go off and live life alone in the forest, those who don't have AI will still need other people in their lives, so labour will continue to hold value within that subset of the population.

Alternatively, those with AI may freely share it with all, creating a post-scarcity society. That's probably not so scary. Hell, entire societies have upended everything in hopes of being able to transition into a post-scarcity world. It is generally considered a welcome future, not something to fear.

This might ironically be the downside of being less money driven and more principle driven. I think he legitimately thinks “the woke mind virus” is a bigger short term threat to (western) civilization than failing to transition to sustainable energy (Tesla) or failing to become a multi planetary species (SpaceX). If he was primarily financially driven I think he would have kept quiet and just focused on the existing companies, like most people probably would even if they privately held similarly controversial opinions.

I’m not saying he is correct by the way, just that it seems like he thinks that and it basically explains his behavior.

Private government contracts exist solely to transfer wealth from the taxpayer to private individuals.

There is a revolving door where government officials approve contracts and then go and work for said contractors at a later point, which is basically just corruption.

You see the same pattern play out with so-called "public private partnerships".
