> I hear this sentiment a lot, but having been in all sorts of church, para-church, and religious education settings, I've never once seen it for myself. I have stumped many tutors in my life, but not once was I chastised for "sinning." Not that my experience is worth more; it's just still very foreign to me.

It describes my own personal experience. No, no one ever explicitly told me "asking hard questions is a sin". But I was sure made to feel like it was, and while maybe that wasn't consciously intended, I suspect it kind of was intended, at least at a less than entirely conscious level

> Most people seem satisfied with an extremely shallow understanding of things.

I'm shocked by the number of professionals who have extremely shallow understandings. Pick a mental health diagnosis at random. Go looking (e.g. on PubMed) for scholarly debates over the scientific validity of that diagnosis – seek, and ye shall find. But, how familiar is the average psychologist or psychiatrist with those debates? In my experience, many who make a whole career specialising in said diagnosis, have never bothered to even go looking for them
hi, it's open source and not free. the Lite plan allows you to do the same things as Loom it seems. I would have preferred a video showing the app.
I think that might be true for a small group of people.

Calling it a replacement screen recording tool like Loom is probably ideal to hit both markets.

Loom made the work around the recording step easier, something that other options seem to be adopting.

Still, lots of people recorded lots of screens before Loom, kind of like loom.

Camtasia, Jing, and plenty of other tools out there. Jing in particular would record and upload automatically and put the link to the video in your clipboard, years in advance of Loom registering potentially questionable patents to parts of that.

Loom was ultimately acquired by Atlassian as a video capture tool for JIRA, etc an won't likely grow much feature wise for the masses. It will be great for that. I'm still a paying customer of loom.

There are a lot of features missing in Loom though that is going to spark a lot of alternatives to continue from where Loom left off. If anything Loom's growth seemed to have stalled relative to how much they were acquired for.

Average people are using apps like tiktok to produce videos instead.

Calling it a screen recording tool is a good thing. A lot of people don't even know how easy it is to do a screen recording on a computer.
But Lisp usually is, or what?
Does it matter if said top talent was just watching YT all day at home

Their heyday was 2016-2019
Why start in 1949? The Democratic Party back then is nothing like it is now. If anything, it should start at 1980 when the Dixiecrats shifted parties.
In terms of opportunity cost, the only person losing in that scenario is the employer.
I doubt much food is coming from CA or Mexico to northeastern states like Vermont and New Hampshire. More like the Midwest, southeast, and even the northeast itself has plenty of agriculture to keep the north east fed, what comes from CA would be things like walnuts, oranges, and grapes, nice for sure but kind of niche. Mexico would be similar, and you can’t compete with the Midwest on corn (Mexico’s most popular crop).

Incidentally, I found food prices in LA to be really cheap. Like, incredibly so given that it was supposed to be HCOL. Proximity to Mexico sure helps. Seattle in comparison is much more expensive, and variety isn’t as great.
I did it for a while (in Sublime Text and then later in VS Code), but ended up switching to Obsidian. I could still open up my Obsidian vault in VS Code if I wanted/needed.

I tried several extensions for notes in VS Code and none of them really worked how I wanted them to work.
You are clearly not a dimwit, and you don’t only have way more experience than most people here, you also have some amazing projects under your belt.

However I can’t help but notice that the vast majority of blogposts, talks, tweets, and basically everything else you do now is around LLMs. Do you not think that’s indicative of this being “hyped” and “shiny tools”?
In that case, you can use https://www.pdftool.org/, which runs in the browser but offline and never uploads your files to any server.
I think this reply is exactly the sort of thing I’m talking about.
Wow thank you I cant believe I've been ignorant of this my whole life. Thank you so much
Of the -really- talented tech folks I know, the opposite happened.
I can recommend the podcast series blowback if anyone wants a deeper look into the knock-on effects of western intervention in the middle east and elsewhere. Also, the book the Jakarta method for a broader look.
An animated gif video with a ticker on the side going through each step would be great.

Also being able to launch recording it without an account would be a great way to get someone to create a video, invest enough to create an account instead of come back to it later. Veed.io seems to have used this approach to great success.
I still use an iPod with Rockbox firmware as my everyday music player so I also still need mp3s :3
A big part of that is that the church had immense wealth and power and was one of the only avenues available for pursuing intellectual studies.
I’ve always thought “Little Shop of Horrors” (1960: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054033/) was excellent. Call it a B movie if you want, but there’s something fascinating about it.
They wanted to go back to working in an office setting?
Its underlying library, OpenRelativity, does.
Lol, how many years back do you have to average it out to wipe out how awful Biden crushed our pay and made things more expensive, and ramped up debt.

They claimed the term "bidenomics" then abandoned it after realizing they f'd the US.
George Hotz went down the AMD rabbit hole for a while and concluded that the driver software — more precisely the firmware which runs on the cards themselves — is so badly written that there's no hope of them becoming serious contenders in AI without some major changes in AMD's priorities.
Foreclosure auctions are different to the open market. Not just the 'setting the price' but also the mechanics of 'knowing what you're buying' etc.

In other words opportunities like even entering the building (in some cases) or doing a proper property inspection will likely not happen.

For this reason it's a pretty high-risk situation, and that risk will be factored into the bids. Equally the bidders will be "professionals" - people who understand the process, risks and so on. In some cases the full purchase amount is due on the fall of the hammer, in others after a very short period (like 24 hours.)

For all these reasons, you don't really need a long notice period. The buyer pool is already on the bank's mailing list, and need no more than a few hours to figure out their "best price".

Make no mistake, buying foreclosed property is risky. Which is why the price is (severely) depressed. Yes you can make money. More likely there are additional significant costs. (Like outstanding property taxes.) Some of that is disclosed, most is not.

While I've no doubt networking remains the root of a lot of business, and the benefits of networking are serious, there's likely no corruption here. This sort of sale us not "open market".
I don't think they meant to say that all experimentation is bad, but rather to satirize a certain blend of overoptimistic tech-bro ideology that often pops up.
You can't do it slowly, when they are actively attacking. Besides, their nuclear bluff got old and finally (as it should have been from the start) less and less allies pay attention to it. As Macron responded to that - France also has nuclear weapons. That's the way to shut Putin up.
Searching for "readme" turned up only two hits with dates on the files from the 1990s, not sure what's going on but not working as advertised.
Correct. I imagined GP could chat with them over IRC and quickly establish both rapport (with encoding nerds) and value (rare, impossible to find source media) and get an invite.
I'm not an expert in ethics but to me this stance goes too far. The Internet in general is also used to spread medical conspiracy theories. If I work on network switches is that also unethical? Compilers? The job of regulating this sort of stuff is the government and the courts. There are laws concerning privacy, and speech, and companies need to operate within those laws. I would say an ethical engineer should not break the law or help the company they're working for break the law.

I would interpret IEEE's statement as it affects a single engineer to e.g. ensure that they are following best practices in protecting user information, e.g. if an engineer is asked by Meta to take some shortcut that exposes people's information publicly that would grounds for refusing to do that on an ethical basis.

That said as an individual you ofcourse have a choice where you want to work. I can see someone not wanting to work for Meta. I'm sure there are many ways in which Meta also supports safety and health, e.g. some (a lot) of useful and good information is also available on the platform. We should look at the totality of the company's impact, not just one aspect of it. That said I agree that hate amplification and disinformation on the Internet is of concern. It should be up to governments to take action on that. I think with Meta and other Internet companies they have immunity in the US for being sued over content others publish on their platforms.
I’m not familiar with the author or their other articles so I can’t say whether they are or not but do we need to label all critics of western foreign policy Russian/CCP shills?
Way simpler and quicker than those options.

Being able to reply to an email with a video quicker than typing is often a line I consider.
.opus _is_ an Ogg container, just with another filename.
That’s the job. There a lot of downtime as a programmer.
Because you’re showing a colleague how to use a simple inventory tracker that you’ve created in Google Sheets. Or how the new multilingual Figma templates work. Or how to batch rename a folder full of files using the command line. Or whatever, really. You already know what’s in the video because you literally just recorded it. And it doesn’t need to be polished because it’s probably just going to one coworker, who will only view it once.
OBS can record videos pretty similarly, and automatically save, stream, or even be compelled to upload it somewhere.

I'm not sure if there's a simple way to get the link of the video hosted online back into your clipboard automatically. That is one feature Jing was superior to Loom on.
What do you mean, Tesla will be bigger than ever once Full Self Driving comes next year! (/s)
This stuff is super unpredictable to me.

In the US as far as I can tell the right wing has a "traditional" leader that has sex with prostitutes, and the left wing gets upset if you call a man a man.

It's basically random as to whether a completely reasonable opinion will be seen as verboten, or a completely bonkers opinion will be seen as okay, so I mean, who knows?
Totally depends on what kind of refactoring you want to do; and how well vim's commands map to your language's syntax, too. (Or whether your vim has special support for your language's syntax.)
So the narrative was emotional/trauma release. When people get into altered state, the narrative said that their unresolved emotions would come to surface and be felt into their body and then they accept those things from the past and then the emotions would dissolve and there will be a 'release'. Its a common narrative, I wrote and organized the content so that a first timer would get impressed to expect a release. It worked for several people.
Unless, as some have suggested, it's a deliberate tactic to cheaply reduce headcount. (No need for severance/redundancy payouts if people self-select to leave).
What people always get wrong about inflation statistics is that they’re really only meaningful when talking about the whole country. If you think CPI is wrong, well, it’s wrong for you. It’s wrong for every individual. But it’s right when you average everyone out.

For example, let’s say you have a fixed rate mortgage on the home you own and live in. If house prices skyrocket because supply is restricted, that inflation doesn’t affect you. Or let’s say you spend $200 per month on food out of a total budget of $4000. If food prices go up uniformly 20%, but nothing else changes for all the other stuff you buy (ie, you’re paying $40 more per month than you were before), you’re effective inflation rate is 1%.
I love this kind of stuff.

Reminds me of how they programmed Flappy Bird inside Super Mario World using glitches. Crazy stuff.

Quite some years ago I did a bit of digital archeology and put the 68k MacMinix 1.5 release source on GitHub, sadly the original file dates weren't preserved in the distribution image.

They were archived using tar(1) to dump the files to a floppy disk on a PowerBook 150 running MacMinix. I don't know why I did that. :-)

Japan is mostly cheap, but on our trip my wife accidentally bought some grapes at a normal grocery store (she wasn’t converting prices in her head). I think it was $20 for a pound.
It is better than peertube because it doesn't require an extra piece of software to be learned and setup and maintained to host and deliver recorded videos.

The 98% will not self host.
Comics had quite a lot of breadth to them even before the 2000s. Consider Footrot Flats, which no self-respecting city nerd from America would have known of, but which two generations of Australian and New Zealander farmers grew up reading.
rsh relies on the client host to not lie, that's quite a different level of guarantee than touching a Yubikey.
You are creating a false dichotomy. Very few people are saying there are no benefits, but many have reasonable concerns both about the current efficacy of these tools as well as the expectation of continued exponential growth which is driving much of the current hype.

What if we have already passed the inflection point where the exponential growth transitions to an s-curve? That would mean that this technology on its own would only get marginally better than is today. Maybe 2, 4 or even 10x better than it is today, but not 100x or 1000x. To break those barriers, we would need further innovations beyond just throwing more gpus and training data at the problem.

I personally am short on LLMs because I believe it is much more likely that we have already crossed the inflection point or will soon. Again, they are impressive but ultimately I think that LLMs will be at best a footnote in history if they are even remembered at all in a few hundred years. But of course I could be wrong.
I, all my siblings, the majority of my cousins, graduated from Catholic high schools. How many of us, and how many of our classmates, are serious Catholics? And how many total strangers, who went to completely different Catholic high schools in completely different decades–even on completely different continents–tell largely the same tale?

Yes, data is not the plural of anecdote–but sometimes the anecdotes pile up so high, it becomes rather implausible that the data is going to tell a substantially different story.
If the lender is the buyer (as in this case) they can then do a proper (non auction) sale as a "willing seller".

This means they can reduce the risk for the next buyer - which in turn increases the sale amount. It's in the second sale where the loan will be covered.

Usually there's an undisclosed reserve amount on the sale (somewhere near the loan value) - having the bank bid is just an alternative reserve mechanism (which may be illegal in some jurisdictions. )

I thought so too until I used the "video messaging" of loom and found it to be a reorganized use of existing loom features instead of first class video messaging.

Video messaging can also waste both parties times if the videos are too long compared to the message.

Video messaging can be infinitely priceless where a video can explain quicker what words can't.

Other platforms have been able to get a bit further, I think there is one made by vimeo or someone used for sales that is quite good at the video messaging itself.
Maybe because kids aren't stupid and they can tell Western society doesn't practice real piety, doesn't respect celibacy, doesn't care about the health of its citizens, and glorifies recklessness over studious caution?

You can't preach what you don't practice.

(Hopefully I don't sound like I'm criticizing Western decadence too much. I'm actually a big fan of decadence!)
Into tiles ;-p

GPU compute is already broken up - there is a supply chain of other cooperating players that work together to deliver GPU compute to end users:

TSMC, SK hynix, Synopsys, cloud providers (Azure/Amazon etcetera), model providers (OpenAI/Anthropic etcetera).

Why single out NVidia in the chain? Plus the different critical parts of the chain are in different jurisdictions. Split up NVidia and somebody else will take over that spot in the ecosystem.
This interview with Synopsys is rather enlightening: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/the-software-behind-silicon...

How does the profit currently get split between the different links? Profit is the forcing variable for market cap and profit is the indicator of advantage. Break up NVidia and where does the profit move?
If your only remaining employees are desperate sycophants, they're probably not the sort of top talent that actually knows what they're worth. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Some animals certainly do. They’re not necessarily bound by our morality by any stretch of the imagination, but absolute some animals likely have free will.

As for reflex versus choice, if someone hits my knee just right my legs going to kick out. If someone pushes in the same spot and says “kick your leg out” and I don’t want to, I don’t have to.

There may be constraints on that, obviously at gun point I’m going to, but yah, if you’re able to think about then choose to do something or not do something that seems qualitatively different than a reflex.
The orders were to rest and vest.
The Cato Institute is libertarian, so them being anti-interventionist shouldn't be surprising. The article was written by a "weekly columnist at Antiwar.com" according to the author's bio, which explains the tone of the headline.
Wow, to put it into perspective, the numbers in the article work out to 25000 square feet per floor, and about $300k per floor.

About $300k buys you a modest 2000 square foot house in a flyover state.

One thing I've thought about, when people talk about turning skyscrapers into housing, is that you don't actually have to use all of the space. Instead, figure out how many actual dwellings can be built given the amount of windows and utilities, and leave the rest of it empty or treat it like basement space.

Imagine you have a friend who plays a nice song for you, and is dumfounded -nay- awestruck to the point of murder - that you aren't moved to tears by the performance because he believes the song was written by the angels themselves.

That movie overglorified the Beatles beyond credibility, and it was genuinely painful to watch.

btrfs has 1, 2 and 3, and if you count projects like WinBtrfs [0], then possibly 0 as well.

Been using it happily for years on my workstations, and about a year on my home server mainly because of the licensing issue and a kernel update possibly resulting in the ZFS pool not being imported.

ZFS is still great, but the kernel issue is still problematic on anything other than Ubuntu, where Canonical ships kernels with ZFS built right in.

Kai-Fu Lee's AI Startup 01.ai Launches Wanzhi AI Personal Assistant
01.AI, led by the Kai-Fu Lee, has launched a one-stop AI work platform called 'Wanzhi'. This powerful tool is set to transform the way we work and interact with AI technology.

To ensure an unparalleled user experience, Kai-Fu Lee himself will serve as the Chief Experience Officer (CEO) of Wanzhi. In this role, he will actively listen to user feedback and work alongside everyone to unlock new and innovative uses for AI assistants. As part of this initiative, Lee will launch a series of tutorials showcasing how Wanzhi can be used to create new paradigms for work and life with the help of AI.
In 2007 before I left Lausanne, a Big Mac meal, was 10.5 CHF, that was maybe $8, this was before CHF hit parity with USD. Now it is 16 CHF, and CHF is now 10% more dear than USD, so I would say it has risen quite a bit? Even if not as much as a Big Mac meal did in the states (from I think $5 to $13).

A better indicator would be Kebob prices, but I just don’t remember those.

I guess this could be something analogous to dark matter... It is as much physics as any other unexplainable "fundamental" concept.

I'm not seeing this at my workplace. People are doing what they are told, and they are returning to the office. Maybe because losing a job is risky right now, given the current job market.

Super cool, I’m looking forward to trying it out.

Welcome to the Thunderdome.
They had this exact same “courage” a while ago. This isn’t their first rewrite/re-invention. Anyone know why their software division is so broken?

Sonos was a cool trick in 2012, when getting multiple network connected speakers synced wasn’t an out of the box experience.

I threw my Sonos out after their previous re-invention. I use Apple TV connected speakers to stream any media nowadays.

Say the app was working flawlessly, what advantage does using Sonos provide in 2024?
Slack?

I often wonder if a mattermost community should be backstop an integrate into a slack and discord community to let people use what they want, but you have your own history owned.

Discord seems nice but it also has to fit the audience. I find it convoluted for business or support type chats, but it is excellent for community building around digital experiences (like gaming)
Also, in Europe, it isn't a secret that Putin's violence in Syria was meant to create pressure on Europe and create a diversion from Ukraine, and it worked (wir schaffen das).

MPW was actually one of the inspirations for MacRelix, in a backhanded sort of way:

I still use MPW's ToolServer for running the Metrowerks build tools, but sadly it's no longer available as an official download from Apple.
The simple URL is valuable.

Loom still came up short against a predecessor, Jing, which would also copy the url into your clipboard. You hit stop recording, open an email, paste, and write your message and send. No need to wait while it was uploading, etc.
