Here's something I whipped up to show an example of a ResultWriter monad using computation expressions in F#. I'm sure there are some slightly better interfaces than this, and I wouldn't mind a code review if anyone is feeling helpful!

Yeah, email needs replacing, but it needs actually serious proposals.
Hi, the pro version allows you to tell an AI what you think aboout the company and it will fill in the DCF model for you.

So you can say, "I think AAPL will have strong growth over the next 5 years, they will also see costs go down as xyz will happen" and the AI will use your assumptions to fill in the DCF
It's more the CRA is too lazy and/or incompetent to successfully collect from foreigners and so they are forcing liability on the people paying (in this case the renter). I personally think this is bad precedent to set because it forces utterly excessive KYC requirements on renters. The government should be passing a law here to correct this to limit liability to a very narrow set of circumstances (In this case it would be something like if you pay rent via international money transfer out of the country you should have some responsibility to withhold a fixed percent here, otherwise it's not your problem) but they probably won't.
RAL is a lot, lot cheaper than Munsell or Pantone (now both owned by X-Rite) and is particularly well suited for Industrial Design.

- you can get yourself a fan of RAL Classic colors for $16, which are solid colors that include enough grays, whites and colors to get started and cover all basic needs, and that most industrial/finishing shops already have
- most shops now also accept Pantone PMS C (coated), which cost $260, but Pantone comes from printing and so has no whites, you need to add FHI TPG+TCX (another $260) to get whites. Pantone recommends replacing the fans every 12-18 months before their die age
- Munsell is a "full" color space so as such it is inherently more expensive (even more so that it is now owned by X-Rite), with a rich history in USDA standards, food QA, science and artists. NCS and RAL "Design" also feature "full" color space, most certainly a lot cheaper than Munsell

Cost is important because everybody in your supply chain need to have the color system on hand: designers, marketing, suppliers, QA.

Curated colors:

- RAL Classic (216) $16, RAL Effect (490) $70
- Pantone PMS (2,390), Pantone FHI (2,625) each $260
- RAL P1 Classic plastics (100 colors + textures): $2,100
- RAL P2 Effect plastics (200 colors + textures): $2,700
- Pantone plastics (1,755): $9,078

Color spaces:

- Munsell (1,600): $1,525 - $1,625 (Munsell book of colors matte - glossy), cheaper subselections of colors based around neutral, soil, plant & rock colors
- NCS (2,050): $210, used a lot in architecture/interior design, from Sweden
- RAL Design (1,825): $160, all its colors are additional to/not in Classic/Design

If you need a few colors, a curated system is more adapted and cheaper, but a curated system with thousands of colors (Pantone) is more expensive and less versatile than a system based on a color space.

As you can see the whole RAL catalog/system of color is designed for cost and so that you can start small and expand, and have enough variety at each level + it has nice features that shows its Industrial orientation such as all colors being solid and textured plastics.

RAL catalog has each system building on the other, Munsell is a color space with subsets picked from it for specific uses, NCS is always the full color space, Pantone is a gigantic, somewhat incoherent curated system that started with printing and expanded into fashion & cosmetics.

Munsell is based around different sectors of industry & science, so color subsets availability, design and price dictate that it is uneconomical for other sectors or more general design outside gov standards. E.g. Munsell even has a frozen french fry color standard book! [1]

There are many more color systems and color spaces, but those are the main ones for which there is wide availability of physical color books around the World.

So use a metric that makes absolutely no sense on given domain, instead of one that is completely correct, sensible, accurate, stablished on the literature, and vastly superior in context? What even is a FLOPS in the context of Interaction Net evaluation? These things aren't even interchangeable.
Buy a new iPhone, get inundated by modal ads to subscribe to the iOS ecosystem like iCloud storage and Apple Music. I like reading news from various sources, but Apple News may as well be broken without a News+ subscription, teasing with the headline and first few lines where I might actually be able to read the article in full from the Google News app unless I've hit my monthly paywall quota.

Apple may not be as blatant as MS, but enshittification by shareholder eventually poops on us all.
The “sectors” in the resulting level data have to be convex for the doom engine. The “asset pipeline” handles that by breaking up non-convex geometry into smaller convex sectors. So, there are no loops or holes in the actual level data, also from the cursory glance both of the large loops in Deimos Lab are actually not complete loops, but they have a place where the loop is broken. But that does not matter that much, as almost any level contains geometry that is either concave or has a hole (courtyard in E1M1, both large rooms in MAP01…)
I agree it wasn't super exciting. But I still like to see the little niches and topics other people find interesting even if they're pretty obscure like this. Obviously enough people found it interesting that this guy gave a talk and received audience questions.

I'd like to see something like this [1] where we can find out how many digits of pi you really need to make Doom play normally. But again, not super exciting. You would just need to iterate from 1 to 9 digits and apply some subjective rules about what counts as normal.

It's honestly somewhat terrifying to see skyscrapers flying up in my neighborhood. You'd think I'd be delighted, increased supply should decrease prices, right? Only, my kid is having a terrible time in school in large part because the student:teacher, and student:classroom ratios have been flying up as well. For all the dozens of luxury condo towers we're building, we are not building out commensurate services for the kids who will inevitably occupy those towers.
If we decide to stop submitting X/Twitter links, then we should do the same for NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Medium, Threads and a ton of others.

I don't like the idea of picking and choosing a flavor of the week to cancel. So let's cancel every single site that requires a sign-in or has set up a paywall ..or.. leave them all alone.

As solutions... I like what slashdot does with their comprehensive summaries. It is a thing of beauty. Not only does it help solve some of these issues, it has found a way to archive content. osnews.com is another site that's similar.

If you go back even just a few months on HN, you'll see that lots of the submitted links are dead, 404s. We still have the (opinionated) conversation but not the actual content.

I also like archive.ph as another solution that can be used to bypass many paywalled sites.

I think we need to look to solutions to these problems. Just look at the subscription model... and things are just going to get worse as far as accessing linked content.
I mean, the tense and sinister-sounding violin music helps with that feeling as well.
Yes, please. Every day we don’t fix email is another day organizations will continue shifting to phone numbers as identifiers, which is 10 times worse.

I'm delighted to see there are actually several ways and you good people are discussing them.

This is exactly why I asked the question!
It is quite different, as those are incremental changes, and most of them can be ignored until there is a requirement to use a library or SDK that makes more recent features a requirement.

Any corporate developer knows the pain of actually being allowed to upgrade toolchains, traditionally lagging behind several years behind lang v-latest.
I'd also restrict the allowed CSS to the tiny portion of the spec that styles the text and maybe some basic layout. Definitely no scripting allowed.

The result of the second referendum was not showing independantists as a small minority: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_New_Caledonian_independ...

I'm not sure what the outcome would have been, but having such an important vote happening during an exceptional context like the first 2 years of covid really doesn't seem like a good idea.
In the UK, hilariously we've gone the other way by ramping up regulations on landlords to the extent that tons are simply exiting the market.

To name a few: making evictions much harder; changing tax law so that mortgage interest isn't fully allowable; aggressive energy efficiency requirements that I don't even see as worth it as an owner occupier; HMO regulations preventing students etc sharing a house; the list goes on.

All of this at a time in which mortgage interest rates (generally only fixed for a few years in the UK) have quadrupled and net immigration is going gangbusters.

There is a pervasive mindset that landlords should be "punished". Well, they have been, and the result is that they're leaving the market - if you can't afford to buy, you're now competing against far more people in a supply restricted market.

Poverty mindset at its' finest.
Hi, DCF models are not very effective when a company is cashflow negative. That can result in weird looking values. On the last tab of the model you can switch the exit multiple to look at EV-Sales which will work better on a cashflow negative business like Boeing. Doing this with the model defaults results in a value of $149. Thanks for checking it out!
When Silicon Valley, particularly Apple, successfully got an antitrust case brought against Microsoft, it was because Apple and crew had more lobbyists in DC. Way more. It's not something that Microsoft had really worried about, so they were caught flat footed. After that case, Microsoft learned the lesson, and sent quite a few lobbyists. There will be no action in the US against Microsoft for the same reason there's been no action in the US against Apple. There will be the occasional case against any company in Silicon Valley when they're too overt about it, but they'll get a slap on the wrist and sent on their way to continue doing the same antitrust behavior. No one will ever reasonably suggest splitting them up again.

Pro tip I discovered by accident: If you type in any gibberish account name/email that doesn't exist, it will throw an error and move on with the setup without needing an account. No need to fuck with cmd line registry incantations or rufus.

There's a whole world of email mess that the article didn't even touch on: ambiguity, for example by repeating headers with conflicting values.

For example, you could have, in an email:

Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Type: text/html

now, maybe a virus scanner will think that the email is plain text, but the recipient's email reader parses it as HTML.

Same potential confusion with Content-Transfer-Encoding.

And then there's the matter that headers are supposed to be ASCII-only, but what happens when you send header values with 8 bits set?

And then there is how email threads work. Most of the world uses "In-Reply-To" and "References"-headers, but Exchange, in its infinite wisdom, decides to ignore them and has its own proprietary headers.

Basically every aspect of email has very annoying problems, and every attempt at a version 2 needs to either ignore some of them (annoying those particularly invested into this problem), or reinvent the whole wheel, running in Second System Syndrome worries.

It's not easy...
>is it really any question that such a group exists?

Yes, there are many questions.

Cultures emerge in any organization, and the U.S. government is known to be bureaucratic. But, acknowledging this is a far cry from sowing blanket distrust via facile allusions to some vague, vast, unseemly conspiracy that has still not been defined.

These charges side-step important questions, such as: who specifically are these people? How are they organized and who leads them? What are they actually doing? What are their objectives? And, most importantly, are their supposed aims and activities in contravention with stated U.S. interests? For instance, are they aiding adversaries, like Russia, to the detriment of U.S. policy/security?

It's reckless and irresponsible to lob these vague conspiratorial charges: "Systems! Control becomes more vague! Zeitgeist! Culture!".

Point to something tangible or it's all dangerous FUD and nonsense.

OTOH, the former president who manufactured the charges you're repeating, does so in an effort to undermine the U.S. government and justify supplanting it with a regime of his own making. And, that proposed regime's stated goals do directly contravene U.S. policy and democratic principles. The would-be regime is openly declaring that they'll replace the entire bureaucracy with loyalists, use the DOJ to prosecute opponents, etc.

And instead of being concerned about that, you have people mindlessly repeating, "Destroy the deep state!".

>its not appropriate to mock.

Needless to say, I disagree. It's as appropriate to mock as Flat Earth theory and anything else as equally non-substantive.
Hey! Here is a bit more detail about my site:

About: A lot of people want to know what their baby with their partner would look but it seemed like all the tools out there were either very bad and/or were behind a paywall, so me and my two other teammates built a product to fix that.

It is called Mixmatch: a free product where you can create images of what your baby would look like and much more. Here are some details:

Model: We are using the newly released PuLID model. It is very fast and cheap to run but the output can be a little inconsistent. Given the inconsistent output we have hand curated a dozen or so high quality seeds for each of the filters that we have on our site. This has made the output far more reliable but still far from perfect.

Filters: Right now we have 15 categories of filters and 99 filters in total, all of which have been written by us with curated seeds. We have decided to not make the prompting open ended for the inconsistent output from this model along with very NSFW capabilities it has. Some of my personal favorite filters are; Mug shot, Jet Ski, Smurf, Baby (obviously), Professional Headshot (but adding in a celebrity so our faces are blended), and Clown.

Hosting: We are running the model on Fal.AI - they have been amazing!

Privacy: All faces are deleted from our DB after 1 year and are not used for anything other than creating images for you and you only.

Pricing: The website is totally free. This model is very inexpensive to run and our business is able to cover the costs of operating the product.

Feedback: We just launched this website today and we have lots of things to polish up and improve. If you have any feedback we would love to hear it and we will do our best to quickly implement it :)
Natural joins are terrible in that they match on any equal column names. Let's hope you don't have employees with names and departments with names.

In any case, even with natural join syntax, you end up with queries longer than those in the article.
It's not as damming as you make it out to be. People "confess" to crimes they didn't commit all the time[1]. Also, taking other things she wrote into context, eg.

>I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them

it's unclear whether she wrote “I’m evil, I did this” because she murdered the babies, or she felt responsible for their deaths despite not having murdered them. The latter isn't as far fetched as you might think. For instance when people choose to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train, conductors sometimes feel like they were responsible, even if there was nothing they can do (due to the stopping distances of the trains)[2]. And this is for a train, where it's possible to rigorously prove whether the conductor were responsible or not. Imagine what it must be like for a nurse in a hectic emergency unit, with far more variables and far less certainty.

As an engineer with an oscilloscope, not being able to plot two probes against each other on the same chart would be severely limiting.

For instance, imagine a 10x attenuator / amplifier. Maybe the input has a DC offset. Being able to plot the two against each other to look for (e.g) distortion, is invaluable. This is committing the two cardinal sins (judging from some comments here) of not starting at zero and different scales, and yet it's not misleading at all.

I can believe dual axis charts allow misleading results, but that doesn't mean they don't have completely legitimate uses.

If you are doing webapps, JS all the way. Although don't overlook the benefit of static html/css for a lot of things, at which point Python becomes very worth it because of its integration into other things is a bit better than JS.

I've been involved in a product review at my work. The tool hits a sweet spot of identifying a real problem and demoing impressively. I have little doubt we will purchase this tool unless the beancounters simply reject the expense.

But I find myself against it. This is somewhat ideological; the tool is, at its core, a telemetry tool, and I don't believe we have the maturity to manage and leverage that data effectively. And the data and features to product enables? We already know where the problems are and have other tools to address them. It's just that everyone is always "too busy" to actually listen to the customers and do anything about it.

Pondering how to express this then, I ended up labeling the product (at first a "luxury", but realizing people want those and doesn't help my argument) a "toy," like a jewel-encrusted hammer: It's pretty, but if a plain hammer isn't solving your problem this isn't going to either. Worse, the extra time and care needed to maintain this tool, in an organization that's already "too busy", is likely going to be even less effective if not a net loss.

However, it occurred to me, knowing one of the people trying to push this tool, calling it a "toy" would only be an opportunity:

Toys can be incredibly powerful in the hands of a good imagination.

And, I agree.

And this is where I struggle. Collectively, we don't have a "good imagination." We're all too busy being busy to do anything creative and solve the problems we have. But individually there is a lot a creativity that just lacks the means to express itself. And enabling these people is why _I_ do software.

I'm still not sure this tool is the right way about it, but that fact we're even here is testament that the current technologies aren't inspiring anyone.
Yeah, I got some Devolo ones, they're pricy but they're bulletproof. I've never had to think about them once in the five years I've had them.
Indie Sandbox MMORPG – getting rid of micro-transactions and use a Patreon model
Yeah don't see how domains would be that much better than IPs but it would be easier to understand. It's already quite common for email senders to use multiple domains when they're concerned about deliverability, and domain reputation is already a factor I believe.

Re: deliverability, I do think incumbents are benefiting from the complexity of email, but I'm not sure I follow your argument about Meta.
The primary thing that BSP does is that it maps coordinates onto a BSP node/sector. Thus you cannot have overlapping geometry, as this mapping would not be unique. Quake has some idea of portals (I'm not sure about Doom), but it is used only as an additional layer of optimization, the engine is not fundamentally portal-based.
It might be confirmation bias, but I do think it's becoming more and more clear that OpenAI is struggling with improving the models beyond the GPT-4 level.
