It's a mostly observation. It describes the trial, sometimes day by day, and it tries to see it from all sides: judges, prosecution, lawyers, victims, police, perpetrators, bystanders. You get some insight into the mechanism of a trial which cannot be allowed to fail, the evidence, how the trial affects people, and for some of the accused what their motives were, but most of the perpetrators were dead (they blew themselves up), and the important ones that remain keep their mouths sealed for most of the time. It is very well written, so much that it sometimes comes across as fiction.

The book doesn't judge. It tries to bridge, or rather narrow, the gap, a bit. It doesn't succeed, which is practically impossible, certainly within the given setting, but it's a praiseworthy attempt at dealing with a rather traumatic event in clean and compassionate way.
Yeah, Verizon is similar... I really need to setup the automatic failover on my router, I'd been unplugging one an plugging in the other for the couple times I've needed it.

Aside, really want to run a script to reboot the cable modem daily... it seems to build up a number of errors on a couple of the channels, but a reboot has it working fine again. It slows down a bit while it happens, and I only notice when streaming starts buffering a lot.
Firefox's Bugzilla is certainly one of the oldest running bug trackers. I'm impressed at how much of the original feel of the bug tracker is still around after all these revisions. It was a pretty hairy, monstrous codebase back in the day.

At one point in 2000 (?) I stood up an instance in our Windows dev shop to replace a home-grown bugtracker built on Microsoft Access/Outlook. It was complex but pretty much one of the best-of-breed bugtrackers for some time. I think that FogBugz was just getting started around then, and those guys were one of the first teams to really consider user experience.
I hate to be that guy, but if you want "C++ but also functional programming" then... Well, then Rust is in fact the language which you're looking for.
The desperation to stay relevant and shout "AI! AI!" is so loud at Google that it drowns out all else, including common sense.
Yes that was exactly what I meant! E2EE exists out there in so many different forms that it is impossible to make it disappear as a technology. You don't need a world expert to deploy it: it's just a matter of using one of the available libraries. I mentioned that it is deployed as scale because it is not a niche thing anymore: most people in the world have benefited from E2EE already! It's not something one could hide or make disappear.

The point is that policy makers need to accept this as a reality: they cannot wish E2EE did not exist, that ship has sailed long ago.
Keep in mind if you're selling to new customers, they may find your web app "dated". The new customers likely won't compare the web app to your desktop app, but to other competitors web apps. And these days the expectation for better or worse is that web apps look and feel a certain way (favor whitespace). I'm sure a dense UI can still look clean and modern, but it will take more effort.
I agree, imo it needs to be slightly smarter at when it turns itself off, as I've had it pop up for queries that I'd rather click a link for and on mobile it takes up most of the screen.

But for many other queries I do quickly get the answer I was looking for.

>In general, Google is really undermining their whole business model with the AI Overview paragraph as it will take away from their AdWord link revenue just as much as organic traffic to other sites.

The future is probably selectively biased ai, as scary as that sounds.
Is there any way to do a Web search with DDG bangs? I checked their list but didn't see an option. I occasionally use !g as a fallback search but recently started seeing this AI slop taking over the top of the results page, making it even harder to find a decent result.

This is also why I replace all of my APs when I move (new BSSIDs) and don’t put identifying information like phone numbers, names, or domains in SSIDs.
Jesus, that kidney stones one is bad :( It's funny when the LLM totally checks out of reality, but not at all funny when the statement seems plausible to ignorant people.

(A lot people seem to subscribe to an ideology of "dumb people get what they deserve." What this really means to me is "I have Dunning-Kruger syndrome," but I wonder how much of that gets filtered down into making excuses for AI that sucks so badly it becomes actively dangerous.)
“The inputs” here is going to include every video, or at least a large subset of every video.
It may be a doctored image. But we don't know. I don't think these things are deterministic. At least not just with search query. It could be real, and you might get a real response that makes sense.

small cars are not popular, and large cars have much more aerodynamic drag and therefore require bigger batteries. Bigger batteries dramatically increase the cost of the car.

My apologies, I took your evasion of the homeland border issue as evidence that you didn't want to treat with the fact that it's completely unresolvable. If that's not the case, I'm happy. But you're still not giving ground here and unless you do, you're basically siding with and supporting the aims of the folks who want to ethnically cleanse the levant.

Once more, to repeat: Israel's actions in and administration of the West Bank and Gaza are terrible injustices. But they're stable injustices and just "turning off" Israeli dominance in the region, which seems to be your goal, is going to hurt things very badly.
I have read multiple MW Lucas books over the past 15 years, and every one has been top notch in its field or subject. They are the first texts I read for any project.
No one started with color - and most people kept it that way! Color is a real pain in the ass to work with in a traditional dark room setting. Having started my photography career in an actual dark room, I understand why newbies are interested in the process and there should definitely be community resources available where they can learn the ropes of film and paper photography. But then they need to move on. Yes, I fondly remember my days working in the dark room. No, I don't want to go back to working in the dark room and always smelling like fixer afterward. Hmmm...thiosulfate smells good! NOT!!!
The type of visually dense user interface is still around where it’s unavoidable due to the complexity of the data model, e.g. DAWs, game engines and photo editing software.

But for simple consumer facing apps or websites, I don’t see it making a comeback, as it is more aesthetically pleasing and more usable to have simpler / sparser user interfaces for less tech savvy people.

The central contention of Effective Altruism, at least in practice if not in principle, seems to be that the value of thinking, feeling persons can be and should be reduced to numbers and objects that you can do calculations on.

Maybe there's a way to do that right. I suppose like any other philosophy, it ends up reflecting the personalities and intentions of the individuals which are attracted to and end up adopting it. Are they actually motivated by identifying with and wanting to help other people most effectively? Or are they just incentivized to try to get rid of pesky deontological and virtue-based constraints like empathy and universal rights?
This is my second point: there is no middle ground. Either it is useful (because it works), or is it useless. There is no "it works for the good guys but it does not work for the bad guys". There is no tradeoff. Either it works for everybody, or it does not work at all.

all your "film behavior" when using film can be done @ digital; with the addition of checking if actually you did it right (a great learning tool) + not using chemicals, which aren't eco-friendly, lets not mention if 50% of the population thought like you, nature would get _fucked_ by chemicals disposal
If the US and EU countries were to cut Israel off, what other options does it have? Russia is already importing various weapons, a good part of them from Iran, who will absolutely cut them off if they start helping Israel. India and Pakistan are not sympathetic to Israel. Arab countries will feel internal pressures if they become major suppliers to Israel. Who is then left? Would China really wade into this conflict, and endanger their own relations with the Arab world?
Yeah, it's a full on clown world at this point.
Okay, that's addition.

Your societal reference frame is bad and you should feel bad. Gilded age had all the punishments and stil humanity worked all things unguarded like a corrosive material. Which meant, all things public were burdened with a anti theft tax, a guy with a stick. Which is why it makes economically sense to pay a thief to sit at home and play video games, as otherwise you would need to hire him, to guard a bridge. Non surplus societies aint pretty.
People have said the same about browser engines, that it's impossible to start and new one and catch up due to the unfathomable number of man hours invested. But it's happing, Ladybird browser is making incredible progress. With modern tools, the learnings from older engines and the lack of entering debt it's possible for a small team to build things on par or better than 30yo software.

I have no doubt that a small dedicated team could build a new parametric kernel and CAD package, particularly one that's open source.

As one of the Solvespace maintainers I have a few comments:

1) You don't want just 2D constraints, 3D is better. If you were writing in C++ I'd say just take our constraint solver (Like Dune3D did). Since you're loving Rust, I can point you to the work of Michael F Bryan who wrote one in Rust and blogged about it here:
https://adventures.michaelfbryan.com/posts/constraints-part-...

I think his code is over at gitlab. I haven't looked at it in a couple years. He wrote that after I nerd-sniped him ;-)

2) For geometry kernels... I've got 3 classes of bugs I want to squash in the Solvespace kernel and then it should do booleans pretty reliably, but I haven't had the time. Ours is just under 6k LOC so you could learn a lot from it. My email is the same ID at gmail if you want to ping on this topic. Its been a while since I looked at Truck and I thought it had stagnated a bit. This is a really hard problem, which is why there are so few options out there even in the commercial world. Even triangulating a trimmed NURBS shell is tricky.

3) History/feature tree is closely related to the "topological naming problem" that FreeCAD has. Solvespace handles this by creating each entity from a set of known things. If you try to recreate (regenerate in our lingo) it will just return a handle to the existing entity rather than creating a new one. In other words, every entity "came from something" and that relationship is remembered. Where we handle topological naming it works perfectly. But not everything in solvespace is covered by this. You need to bake this in from the start, it's not something you can easily bolt on afterward.

4) where is the link to try out CADmium?
Even if the C is ugly, just the fact I can use gcc + ide of choice for editing is already loads better than using a hex editor on a rom file or having to build up or hunt down custom n64 tooling.

They do. I've flown many (more than 100x in some years) and I can't count how many times that pilot / co-pilot has announced upcoming turbulence and turned on the seat beat light.
OpenAI has been in the news lately because one of the new 4o voices sounds like Scarlett Johansson in the movie Her.

Allegedly Scarlett Johansson was approached multiple times about being the voice, but turned it down, so they just made a voice that sounds like her.

There were some tweets that had very conspicuous timings that accelerated the drama.

It seems that google is mixing in the largest related search terms.
This HN post from last month generated a lot of interest (525 points, 166 comments) and recommendations for similar tools:

There are more people that want to make hit songs than there are hit songs. As long as that's true, it will not be easy.
This tip fails when the flight crew starts to look worried/concerned. But, I guess at that point, you have reason to be nervous. This happened during severe turbulence to me once, but it had the effect of making me a calmer flyer because it really was pretty bad (no one flew into the ceiling but they'd already made sure everyone had seatbelts fastened) and I ended up being fine.
Let me know if you ever get a result that's as wildly incorrect as those
I haven't seen any howlers myself in Google yet, but Meta suggested to me that electric city buses can be charged "at home."
I'm glad you said this.

As someone that has written his fair share of raw html, php and js, it's a bit misleading to associate react and these issues. I'm writing in nextjs / react these days, and it's amazing...but like everything out there, if used poorly, you get poor results.

Designing for reactive UI's and accessibility is a feature. Sometimes features get cut, even when they shouldnt.
I think people tend to assume our own values and experiences have some degree of being universal.

So scammers see other scammers, and they just think there's nothing wrong with it.

While normal people who act in good faith see scammers, and instinctively think that there must be a good reason for it, even (or especially!) if it looks sketchy.

I think this happens a lot. Not just with Altman, though that is a prominent currently ongoing example.

Protecting yourself from dark triad type personalities means you need to be able to understand a worldview and system of values and axioms that is completely different from yours, which is… difficult. …There's always that impulse to assume good faith and rationalize the behavior based on your own values.
this is nothing, wait until it really kick-backs in, and distributors start getting payoffs to only offer AI chipped hardware with w11 factory loaded.

That's awesome! 28-03-2000 is not 25 years ago, tho.
I mean, shit, I love seeing all the various AI advancements, but even I wouldn't want this crap built into my OS. At least not unless it's something I can self-host, and have full control over. My days of letting a corporation get it's data hooks into my personal information are long gone, as long as I have any say in the matter. I don't trust them, nor how absolutely drunk they are on shoving AI into every possible hole right now.

Personally I think a big reason disposable cameras are having a resurgence is that the camera makers have abandoned the compact camera market and don't seem to be interested in making or marketing any camera they can't sell for at least $1,000. That much money can buy a lot of film.

For anyone willing to put in even the slightest effort to learn the basics of photography, picking up an inexpensive used film camera will be much better than a disposable or the "reusable disposable" super-cheap new film cameras available now.

I have several 40–50 year old film cameras that continue to work just fine, and it's a pleasure to own a physical object that continues to function perfectly for decades, in stark contrast to disposable products and the planned obsolescence of virtually everything you can buy today.

Further, the UI/UX of most digital cameras is horrible, with dozens of confusing settings. It's much easier to use an all manual camera like (for example) a Pentax K1000 and set everything yourself than to figure out how to make a digital camera's dozens of settings and automatic functions do what you want them to. Most new DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have user manuals approaching 900 pages!
Who knows!

This is a fine introduction to automata-based regexps but the framing of comparing "good" automata with "bad" perl-style is misguided. Automata and perl-style regexps are different beasts and solve different problems. The problem seems to be one of terminology: the perl style should never have been called regexps. That's not what they are. It's a pattern language that happens to have a variant of regexps as a subset.
Is there a way to reliably package these models with existing games and make them run locally? This would virtually make inference free right?

What I think is, from my limited understanding about this field, if smaller models can run on consumer hardware reliably and speedily that would be a game changer.
