Despite what some fanatics may claim, operating systems other than Windows are still second class citizens (saying this after five years of doing .NET development almost exclusively on Linux), especially for dev, and operating systems other than the big three are not supported at all. So no BSDs (even FreeBSD) or Solaris if you ever need it.

Since the open .NET is pretty young, and they still have trouble with community perception due to their past actions, finding high quality FOSS libraries may pose a problem depending on what you're doing. Pretty much everything from MS is open and high quality, but they don't provide everything under the sun.

And with Java you always have alternative runtimes in case this Oracle deal goes sideways for any reason.

So you're all good, don't worry about it.
Libraries like JCEF have support tools to download the libraries either at runtime or during the build, to offload from Maven Central.
The messiah complex is rampant with both developers and operations people.

Where I live I have free tap water. But it's very inconsistent: somedays it tastes like a swimming pool (safe to drink, but...), and some days specially after heavy rains it has so much dust in suspension that the major has to reassure that it's safe to drink.

I can afford 5 liters of always clean, always taste free water at less than 1€ per bottle, so tap water doesn't ruin my foods randomly.
Nice funny joke for European people, when it comes about extra time and holidays.
Flint's city water is fine now, their biggest issue currently is that the city didn't replace all the pipes that they damaged in people's houses, so individuals are still getting lead poisoning but it's not the city as a whole. I personally don't think it's significantly better but it's worth noting if you're using Flint as an example.
This is the Lin-Shu density wave theory [0]; since the 1960s it has been proposed by some that both this and the mechanism described in the Stochastic Self-propagating Star Formation model [1] work together to maintain the distinctive shape.

Carbon capture is real, carbon offsetting isn't. Offsetting is like making a "saving" by not buying something and then immediately spending the money you "saved".
There's javacpp which can do that.
When it's running a virtual thread is using a physical OS level thread, and if you call into C then that virtual thread won't suspend. It pins the OS thread. So it's all transparent.
I think they were extending the original point you were responding to, and remixing your own mixed metaphor of free beer.

In the attention economy, advertising has a cost that is borne by the advertiser and the consumer, up to and including loss of property rights in the case of content relicensure and trespass upon devices leading to excess battery usage, as well as loss of privacy due to geotargeted ads.
I am using a beamer and my TV is the whole wall on the opposite side of the living room. And as mentionned in another post, I like to have space for when I have some visits which allows having chairs around our table.

Besides not all living rooms are equals, I live in a 85m2 flat so the living room is probably much smaller than the one you would see in a typical suburbian house in the USA. And there are a lot of people living in much smaller places.
I can do two, Jon Skeet (C#) and S. Lott (Python) are names I remember for providing great answers.
Hi. Nice work, I'm really glad to see a new CAS and this is an area that is close to my heart. The problem I have isn't so much that it's difficult to jump through the licensing hoops (although anything is more difficult that not using licenses), it is that you put restrictions on the user of the software that your competitors don't have.

I make closed-source commercial software at my dayjob, I understand you want to get paid. The trouble is that a featureful CAS either takes decades to build by hand (e.g. Axiom) it relies on a huge amount of FOSS libraries (e.g. Sage), or both (e.g. Mathematica).

Making me "phone home" to check I'm up to date on my subscription to some algebra manipulation algorithms is a non-starter, especially when even a PhD student has to pay. (I know you have a single-threaded free version, but that didn't make much sense when your USP is speed.)
> TimeGPT outperforms a comprehensive range of well-established statistical and cutting-edge deep learning models, consistently ranking among the top three performers across various frequencies.

I'm immediately skeptical af if there is nothing more explicit than this. That's handwaving bs. Top three means nothing if I don't have proper data.
It's great if someone wants to use the "hacking spirit" to help themself climb, it doesn't obligate everyone else to want to use the same technique; and frankly it's (slightly) more interesting hearing people say why they would or wouldn't use it than to have a bunch of comments just saying "awesome that you're doing this" and ignoring whether they'd find it interesting themselves or not.
A find this topic fascinating, and several times in the past I tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to buy items (mainly clothing and shoes/boots) that are made to last a long time.

Is there any project that tracks these high durability items?
> knowing the rough progress being made towards milestones is absolutely solvable

Yeah, but the process for knowing that is ask the dev and they will tell you. Or ask the PM who will ask the dev. Or ask a tech lead who will ask the relevant dev. Or read the spreadsheet entry that the dev updated. All roads lead through conversation with the dev working on a feature. There are occasional exceptions, but they are rare.

If the dev is willing to lie, or honestly mistaken, or just too inexperienced to estimate how they are doing then it is close to impossible to gauge progress.

> That seems like a cop out

You would probably believe the number of people who say that.
Knowing X get Y% discount would give you the opportunity to ask for the same Y% discount. Not just AWS, in enterprise world the service provider will always make the % discount a secret and you can’t tell anyone else.

Your comment kind of implies that a strong swimmer with a surfboard and the right knowledge will pretty much never be in a situation where a riptide/undertow/current/whatever you call it carries them out too far to swim back. Is that true? (It might be, I just know very little about surfing)
Looks good, I tried it out and it is indeed alpha in many regards(e.g. sometimes it does not save a picture on windows, sometimes it does not show the prompt, ..) , but the idea has potential. I would encourage you to keep working on it (and maybe keep in mind, that if this suddenly gets viral and you have no API limits in place, you might get poor quickly).

Open your browser's debug console and paste this in:

function solveSecondOrderODE(b, c, y0, dy0, dt, tMax) {
let t = 0;
let y = y0;
let dy = dy0;

while (t <= tMax) {
console.log(`At time ${t.toFixed(2)}: y = ${y.toFixed(4)}`);
let ddy = -b * dy - c * y; // Compute the acceleration (second derivative)
y += dy * dt; // Update position
dy += ddy * dt; // Update velocity
t += dt;
}
}

// Example usage:
// Constants b and c for the damped harmonic oscillator
const b = 0.5;
const c = 1.0;
// Initial conditions: y0 (initial position), dy0 (initial velocity)
const y0 = 1.0;
const dy0 = 0.0;
// Time step (dt) and maximum time (tMax)
const dt = 0.1;
const tMax = 10;

Now we work harder, and it's getting unbearable for those kn the bottom... Wealth also affects whether you're "useful" and you need to be "useful" to survive.. It's getting harder to be useful
Whoa, me and a friend had this same idea back in 2014 and implemented it for Ludum Dare. https://nickfa.ro/wiki/CoinSlot

Cool to see a more refined and well-functioning version of the idea.
There is a biannual structural prediction contest called CASP [1], in which a set of newly determined structures is used to benchmark the prediction methods. Some of these structures will be "novel", and so can be used to estimate the performance of current methods on predicting "structure that we have no baseline to start with".

CASP-style assessments are something that should done for more research fields, but it's really hard to persuade funders and researchers to put up the money and embargo the data as required.

Aren't you afraid of a potential lawsuit from Linear[1]? Your interface looks like a copy paste. Dont get me wrong, it's amazing what you've build but cloning a well funded startup may not be the best strategy.

My desktop applications don't generally break when my network connection does, unlike web applications.

From Wikipedia:

"An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs."

In the case of the web browser, half the application runs on someone else's computer usually far away from the user, and the other half runs in the browser.

The web browser doesn't manage computer hardware and software resources. It doesn't "provide access to the hardware". It can provide access to API's that can leverage the operating systems real hardware interfaces. Like other desktop applications, it only has access to the API's the operating system provides. These are not hardware interfaces, but software interfaces provided by libraries, the real operating system kernel etc.

It's like trying to say a set square is a spirit level just because you can check straight lines with both. Only one of them can tell you if something is level or not.
Does this handle elimination of variables in a polynomial system (using an eliminating order for Groebner basis)?
Our documentation is a work in progress, with our roadmap soon to be posted there.

We refer to the stages as workflows (To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done, etc.). Currently, we are focusing on the engineering teams and have predefined workflows. However, we plan to launch team-based workflow customization soon.

Regarding initiatives, we are working on a module that will provide a combined view of teams (such as Product, Design, etc.). This initiative module, for example, “Integrations,” will cut across these teams for better tracking.
Running your own data center is just a PITA no one wants to do. Non-C-levels just love to ignore the costs you have when doing such a thing by just comparing hardware costs to the cloud costs. There's always the liability aspect, managing less people, externalizing some complexity to another company etc. etc. All worth a lot of money, at least for me personally. I wanna focus on software, not also having to manage hardware lifecycles, fire stuff, more engineers etc. etc. You deal with enough complexity nowadays already.

I'd say that if you really want to have hardware on your own, you get the right people to do the job for you. CTOs are not managing that on the floor. So I'm not sure it's the real reason.
I agree, but I would characterise it more generally than that. It's not specifically leftism, but any rejection of the theory that underpin the present power structure. For example, right wing populism which takes the form of isolationism (in America) or anti-Atlanticism (in Europe) must be Russian astroturfing.
You are right and I agree with you, but that point is neither here nor there.

Who says the solutions from a decade ago are not still correct or the best way to solve a problem? Just because ChatGPT regurgitates something today with the words moved around doesn't mean it contains "new" insights.
You only consider those that "make it", there any many who don't because it's getting increasingly harder to be "useful" in the market (ChatGPT is cheaper), innovations usually make it worse. Those "new jobs" are harder and many won't qualify
Give people a ballpark single user price, and a note that discounts can be given for multiple users etc. If you don’t quote any price the assumption will be, “if you have to ask you can’t afford it.”
I've seen Encore pop up here before and been impressed with some blog posts.

But the product itself seems vague. I think it's abstractions to simplify cloud primitives.

I like the brand, tone and presentation.

Expensive rubbish that is not therapy!

Its disgraceful that a profession that entirely relies on confidentiality is allowed to process and sell client data to the highest bidder.

Medical information! Our most private histories that no one else on earth is privy to.

"Things you would only ever tell your therapist" because of the time taken to develop "Trust" and Confidentiality".

Online psychotherapy does not work. There is too much missing from the human to human interection.

How would you ever ask this question???

"can you tell me what your big toe is saying right now"?

YOU WOULD NEVER ASK THAT QUESTION BECAUSE YOU WOULD NEVER SEE THAT BIG TOE WIGGLING!

All you money grabbing therapists out there who use this system "Shame on you" for bringing my profession into disrepute.

Yes it is expensive to train as a psychotherapist, here in the UK it used to be about £100,000.

You will want to claw back some of that investment, but not to the detriment of your clients and profession.

I decided from the very beginning of my training that the people who needed therapy the most were the very people who could not afford therapy.

There is no such thing as Better Help.
Products with universal positive externality (impact)
Hello! Would like to know your opinion on a model.

Every product or service has an impact externality depending on what it can be applied for. A person using the product can decrease or increase well-being of parts of the society. It may happen unintentionally (by design) or on purpose, if the person is aware of the impact they make.

Depending on what effect dominates overall, we can roughly define three types of products by the social impact sign.

The first type are products with a negative externality. Using a product for its default purpose makes public living worse overall. For example, drugs, WMD.

The second, products with a neutral externality. The majority of FMCG can be included: a product itself is "not good" or "bad" but is able benefit good or bad actors regardless.

Third, the products with a positive externality. The ones, that increase the common good just by design.

As a special case, there are universal positive externality products. Those cannot be used to harm any social group (i.e. very unlikely or useless for such a goal) and increase the public good the more people use them.

And there are all kinds of in-betweens on this spectrum.

How do you think, are there products with universal positive externality? What are they?

I operate the terms "good" and "bad". It might be an oversimplification. You can apply your understanding of what is generally good or bad for people.
This is not about lying but being, quite literally, economical with the truth.

Just as you don't spend all your money at once, don't tell your boss everything you've achieved at once. Or not always anyway. I had to write a monthly progress report for one recent job. I kept a document of headlines for this, and put only two or three into each report. I kept some back for rainier months. This also helped me discuss my "objectives" since I often could predict at least one thing I would achieve in the next few months.
I would say (opinion) that it’s vastly more interesting to hear whether other people would use Thing I Built. I can nerd snipe myself all day on projects. By that I mean I can easily endlessly entertain myself building things, both useless and useful. Whether they are interesting AND useful for other people is quite a large driver for me both for personal and business projects
No brand new laptop has a 1h battery. Also, battery life importance as in "I can work a full day unplugged from AC" it's something that affects only a subset of laptop users, and mostly during some specific conditions (i.e. long travels).
It seems obvious to me that the things you find obviously stupid, obviously aren't.
Psychologists should care about blockchain data
Todoist has had this interface for years. It's standard nowadays, like a grid. I really don't get what people see in Linear; it is way overhyped but a polished app.
With heavy caveats it's mostly true.

Well informed local ocean | river mouth swimmers are gemnerally aware of the currents and tend to know how far out they carry and where one can get to the side to make their way back.

That said, currents are strong, people have bad days, they can panic, water can be cold .. far colder further out than might be expected and that can weaken the body.

Surfing is a whole other ball of wax; dedicated surf spots might be well offshore and require a boat or a jet ski to even reach, if those get crunched by a slab or fail there might be a whole lot of swimming to get back to shore, assumming the surf didn't get you.

> it's about avoiding being the party responsible for handing someone information that they use to commit a crime.

Ehhh...I'd say it's more about OpenAI's corporate customers feeling confident they can integrate the OpenAI API into their product and be confident it won't do things that generate negative PR or horrify arbitrary customers. Pizza chains would love to let people text GPT-# and have it take their order, but if it's not "safe" (for corporations), then eventually some customer will have a super disturbing SMS conversation with a major pizza chain.

Corporate customers can tolerate a certain amount of inaccuracy. If some stable 3% (or whatever %) of customers receive the wrong order, or other refundable mistakes...they can budget for and eat those costs. But they can't budget for a high-variance unknown PR loss of their chatbot going completely off the rails.

It is an interesting combination of open source yet paid.

But the price is "Contact us for a quote"

Can't they at least give a ballpark number of what the price is? Matlab and Mathematica are about $1000-3000 per year for commercial license, they aren't hiding their price.
Indeed, our user interface (UI) shares similarities with Linear’s. We, too, are fans of Linear and appreciate its user experience (UX). After speaking with a lot of people, we concluded that it’s top-notch. Consequently, we wanted to give that experience rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel.

Despite drawing inspiration from Linear, we built everything from scratch. Our primary focus is the AI and task prioritization, which consumes most of our effort. We anticipate that our product will evolve and change over time.

Our aim was not to duplicate Linear, but to build a great product, and incorporating elements of Linear’s UX was a part of that process.
But then you run into the risk of incompatibility bugs between the different versions.

I had tons of issues getting it to work with versions too far apart, which tainted my feel for that approach.

That's a nice thought, but unfortunately the environmental cost of "storing" all of this material - i.e. all the billions of tonnes of plastic pollution already out there, and in there (inside you in the form of microplastics) - doesn't come for free.

It's a current problem, and we don't seem to have the technology or even the political will to solve it currently.

OOOh, very very nice. I might have to copy this into the H2 database engine. We already use variable-size encoding for numbers, and this would make a nice addition to reducing the size of row data containing text.

Author here: you can generate the Groebner basis in lex order or compute a resultant, but it doesn't automatically backsubstitute the system at the moment. This is mostly because I haven't committed yet to a format to describe roots of polynomials. It's on the todo list though :)

It’s not that I have nothing else to do. It’s that the dopamine hit of fixing a thing that affects my team often outweighs any other choice.

Working out frequently, getting a family, getting a side project off the ramp, and reducing to part-time have all helped me with my addiction to feeling valuable and important when nothing else is gained than becoming known for fixing stuff in weekends free of charge.
Not OP, but I have a similar track record. Frequent switches because boredom, better pay (especially the first half of my career), and always searching for that amazing moment of confluence where I'm the dumbest guy in the room and working on an incredibly interesting/complex problem. Two years is about right to tackle something important and deliver, and also feel out if there are other opportunities at the current company. It has mostly worked out for me. You get really good at on-boarding yourself and getting up to speed quickly. I sell my labor as being an expert generalist and have professionally worked with half a dozen different languages, numerous different stacks, in a few different industries, and at big, small and in-between sized companies.
