You've put my thoughts into words better than I could.

I'm not seeing a happy ending to this story, ever. I keep thinking about the turf war storyline in The Last of Us II (which was clearly written as an allegory for the Israel-Palestine conflict), and I think the storyline's conclusion was apt. There is only death and misery ahead. Get out if and while you can, and don't look back.
I've considered self-hosting plausible but ultimately decided to pay for subscription instead, because I think self-hosting would cause more in terms of VPS hosting.

The minimum requirements (4GB RAM) are too high because of the need to run two databases:

https://github.com/plausible/community-edition/blob/v2.0.0/d...

4GB RAM costs $24/month on DigitalOcean: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/droplets

In comparison Plausible lowest tier is only $9/month.

I think this project is not so different in terms of minimum spec.

Would love to hear how others deal with the cost of self-hosting. Does it get cheaper as you self-host more apps? Do you pool with friends?
not to mention much more scalable than waymos approach, both in terms of rollout, but more importantly in terms of data collection - the gold of the AI era.

Big industry and Ai companies are flooding the Internet with low-grade music. This is their tactic to holding far better independent music out of view, because if indie music took over, there would be no going back to big industry music.

Coupled with social apps like TikTok & Instagram and streaming companies like Spotify not allowing indie artists to grow without paying serious ad money, the larger industry is actively preventing independent music from being heard, and running undercover grifts on artists that aren't making a dime off of their work.

When people go to sites like YouTube and Spotify, it's very difficult to find an artists best work, these sites do everything to steer listeners towards big industry music, rather than helping independents to grow. Tech sites are grifting hard working musicians that aren't getting any reimbursement for their work, and there should be more accountability, because we're all being pelted with artificial and weak music as a result.

Kids love music, but they literally can't find the best of it anymore because of anti-competitive behavior by tech companies and the big music industry.
Live coding a micro front end manager ep 1 [video]
This is my second live coding, it is something I started doing two days ago as a way to show my skills and create a portfolio.

I didn't share the first one because was honestly too terrible, but I think this one didn't go as bad as the first one, there's for sure a lot of room for improvement and I will be happy to hear feedback from this community, both positive and negative
If you allow logged-in users to down-rank a site, you already did the hardest part, which is to differentiate bots and spammers from real users.

From there, you can easily add positive feedback as well, IMO.

But the first part is really hard. Maybe it needs to piggyback on some centralized government emitted number, which is sad, but maybe the only solution.

I'd love some biometric hash, or similar, but those decentralized IDs have been a promisse for years and have yet to catch on, for whatever reason.
Lidar probably makes a lot of sense of small scale accurate articulation of robotics where precision matters, could be for internal use too.

I enjoyed Namecheap before the redesign. It was a dense GUI and had small icons.

I like old style Windows 95 GUIs and "portlets"

I prefer dense GUIs. I know Japan has a different design aesthetic than the rest of the world. It's similar.

Giving a month would still be Northern-hemisphere specific, as the article itself points out

> Unfortunately, we here in the Northern Hemisphere will not be able to check on the status of Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS during this summer because it will be situated much too far south to be accessible with telescopes. Those living in far-southerly locations, such as Australia, New Zealand and South America, however, will be able to track it in the morning sky before sunrise.
> Her kWH usage is 4562 per month

This is the part that seems quite high to me. All the other numbers scale off that, and in some jurisdictions, the high usage could put her in a higher pricing tier than a normal residence. An average house might use 1000 to 2000 kWh a month, for example. Of course her property is much bigger, but it would still be good to figure out what exactly is using the power.

Knowing what's using that much could help you better evaluate solutions, mainly in knowing whether it's better to conserve or self-generate.

Just random examples: If she's using electric resistive heating, a heat pump could save some money. If she's got a lot of lighting going on (big barn with old lights?), LEDs could help. Are there pumps running all the time? EV charging? Is someone crypto mining in a secret shed? Is there a miswired electric fence? Things like that...
Closing is great - it’s an honest assessment that “we’re not going to work on it.”

It still turns up in search and you can comment on it (some even reopen automatically if you do).

Locking automatically is just the worst - we don’t care, we won’t care, and you’ll never get us to care.
> Even with native toolkit, an app like this one will require custom widgets and layout engines.

Yes, yes it would. That is why I wrote this: "Just giving the ability to get an element's size without causing a full-page re-flow and re-layout would give much more power to UIs than any number of relative sizes and container queries."

Because on the web you can barely make custom widgets and it's almost impossible to do custom layouts.

Unless, of course, you use the equivalent of early 2000s Windows GDI in the form of Canvas, or a limited subset of OpenGL in the form of WebGL etc. And yes, people end up resorting to that.

The thirty people who own half of Berkshire here on Airstrip One.

https://whoownsengland.org/2017/04/17/the-thirty-landowners-...

Loads of sychophants in that list.

Airstrip One has been invaded by so many countries over many hundreds of years that those who have defeated the our poor armies have then, without any authority, given "OUR" lands to their friends, lords, ladies, and any sychophantic mendicants.

These lands are not their lands!

All these lands were stolen from the common people.

Its called Berkshire for a reason and where the cockney rhyming "Berkshire" comes from

I never gave my permission to give away my land.

Hostile architecture in public spaces outside of private businesses has increased, si private businesses are forced to become more hostile to maintain the same degree of success in the “we don’t want you here” wars.
Since OP mentioned Italy it's worth mentioning places like Rome have plenty of public spaces that easily accessible which are great places to hang out and meet people. Here in the US we have parks by my house but they're really just giant fields w/ a baseball diamond. Maybe a place scape. What good is that for anyone?

Maybe someone can provide a better understanding, I'm a clinical psych doctoral student, but this is outside my area of research + methods.

On very quick review, it looks like there are is significant association between HERV genetic factors and specific diagnoses given PIP. However, what's not clear to me is effect size or correlation coefficient.

I'm not sure if I'm missing this or it's not reports. There might be a relationship, but at a very small percentage.
Teaching Python is good, but what about JavaScript?
Hi, I made this demo. This is actually all from the paper Particle-based Viscoelastic Fluid Simulation (Simon Clavet, Philippe Beaudoin, and Pierre Poulin). It is an SPH type (particle-particle interactions), not MPM (particle-grid-particle). I do a lot of MPM nowadays, and I have a multi-grid thing to help with incompressibility, but this was me re-implementing the first fluid sim paper I ever implemented.

I did the implementation in JS to help other people reading the paper, and tried to keep everything as similar as possible to the pseudocode from just this single paper. Maybe it would be cool to integrate an additional grid on which incompressibility is enforced better but I didn't want to make the source confusing.

It is also a little difficult to do density ratios with just what is shown in the paper, here the masses are set to (1, .8, .6, .4). This is what causes the lightest particles to get launched so violently in the air. Probably would be useful to integrate some ideas from the paper Density Contrast SPH Interfaces (Barbara Solenthaler, Renato Pajarola).

I started revisiting SPH because I have some new ideas to combine it with an MPM/FLIP grid for closeups. I'm trying to do a multi-scale MPM simulation that can handle better surface tension droplets in closeups while also doing extremely large scale scenes. You can see some larger scale parallel sims on my YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GrantKot

Is Apple a software company or a phone maker?
I think this is a cool concept, and all, but honestly, at this point, why just not use Python3 as your project's scripting language, and reap all the benefits of a simple, typesafe/autocomplete ready language with broad IDE support, and no intermediate 'compile step' which generates "don't touch" code?
The Laconic "if"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laconic_phrase
Indeed. I think the most interesting and worthwhile reporting hinges on having pretty rich metadata attached to the tickets, so you can answer questions like how many man-hours did feature X take? how much over the estimate was that? how consistent is that compared with prior similar features? stacking up the critical path from now until release, and given the present estimates and past history, what timeframe are we looking at?

But to really get anywhere with that you need everyone to have put in the required metadata, to be correctly linking tickets that block each other, to be providing estimates upfront and tracking time, to be accurately capturing the work in tickets. You also need people not to be sandbagging and then using the "extra" time to perform localized refactors and other cleanup that they can't otherwise get buy-in for.
Maybe I lack a bit in creativity: but what purpose does this serve? Almost all machines have a python or even perl interpreter if you really need to go there.

CA's First Chamber passes SB 1047 to regulate AI
Consider the distribution of the entered projects. Due to the selection process (think evolution-style selection rather than "human judging" selection), all the projects, whether purely-student-driven, student-driven with just a dash of parental help, half-and-half, and the student basically along for the ride as the parent runs a project, are in one big pile. Is there going to be a bright, sharp dividing line? Especially in light of the fact that quality is only going to be loosely correlated with external help?

Perhaps this is an unpopular call but my personal opinion is that the whole idea of a "national scale" science project contest is irredeemably flawed and the correct answer is simply to discard it. It is a common flaw in thinking, often expressed by many commenters zealous to "correct" other people, that if you can't draw a bright sharp unarguable line between the various elements of a group of some sort that you can't claim the group "exists". This is nonsense; almost every practical grouping scheme will always have borderline cases or exceptions. But there does need to be some sort of actual grouping, or some sort of relatively objective way to sort and categorize the elements, that is accessible to the sorter. In this case, while from the objective divine perspective maybe we could create an objective standard for who got "too much help" to be qualified, there is no conceivable world in which the contest judges could ever get sufficiently accurate information to be presented with anything other than a very smooth gradation that they simply will have no handle to make a correct decision with. So the incentives will always be to get as much help as possible and then have human-intelligent agents doing their best to fool the human-intelligent judges, and that's just a hopeless situation.

Of course, the contest will not be shut down. But what can happen and what may well happen is that it will get more and more embroiled in controversy each year as the game-theoretic local optimum approach for the contestants each year becomes more and more to accuse their competition of being "too helped" and thus take out the competition until it is simply a farce. This is the worst game-theory case for cooperation; very limited repetition of plays by any given participant, most likely one, so no reason to care about the integrity of the contest for next year when they won't even be participating most likely.
Of course there are risks. The question is how big the risk is, and how well we can mitigate it.
That's a good thing to do for sure. The problem is - my parents did that, and visited more than once, but every time they did, the teachers put up an act of being larger than life and the most enlightened experts of child development under the sun. Unfortunately, they believed them because the act was so good, and because years of life under communism taught them that going against institutions leads you to bad places.

I don't have the latter problem - I got the opposite problem from that, sometimes I hate the system a little bit too much - but still, remembering how the teachers used to threaten us if we don't put up our best act, meaning never speak out about the lies they told when other parents visited, I can't really trust few visits to give me an accurate impression.
That might even be the case to some extent today, but can you really blame them?

The cantillon effect is mostly a meme. If it was such a powerful explanatory device then how come nobody is talking about the inverse cantillon effect which is much stronger and caused the great depression? You know, the idea that price falls propagate through the economy. It would appear to be much more dangerous, since it can be conducted by anyone who is holding onto money and every successful attempt spurs on more imitators. Since the imitators are betting on the productivity of doing absolutely nothing, capital formation will cease until there is a shortage of capital and ... surprise, a forward cantillon effect occurs through "unhoarding". We somehow end up with a business cycle theory that actually makes sense compared to the Austrian economist one. A lot of them seem to think that the business cycle is some nefarious plot by central banks instead of a disruption in economic communication induced by market participants following their own interests.
Quantum computations conserve information. If your gates (transformations) don't conserve information, then you'll break the entanglement and superpositions. At the end of a computation, you do this in a measurement to get an answer.
"Fall" (referring to leaves falling down) has been in use since Middle English, along with "spring" (referring to leaves springing up).

Why did so many English speakers stop using "fall", a proper English word with a very long history in Britain, and switch to using a French word for it instead?

For that matter, why didn't they do the same for "spring" when it is so closely linked to "fall"? It seems very silly.

The next big breakthrough in the LLM space will be having a way to represent goals/intentions of the LLM and then execute them in the way that is the most appropriate/logical/efficient (I'm pretty sure some really smart people have been thinking about this for a while).

Perhaps at some point LLMs will start to evolve from the prompt->response model into something more asynchronous and with some activity happening in the background too.

IMO Jira is the epitome of a tool being what you make of it. If you keep things simple and pick the slice of features that work for you, don't go crazy with plugins or creating extra ticket fields or mandatory workflow restrictions, you'll be fine.

If you have multiple PMs each trying to impose their own view of the world expressed in ticket form, it'll be a fiasco.
So what happens to a Waymo vehicle when it needs remote assistance but internet is broken or cellular signal is degraded or unavailable?

Does Waymo dispatch a physical person to the scene (like their old competitor, Cruise)?
Exactly. The technical argument about capabilities is largely settled at this point. Vision won, LiDAR didn't "lose", but it's clearly not any better. Yet every time the subject comes up we rehash the same arguments from 2020/21 as if the evidence of the last ~billion miles (or whatever) of road testing doesn't exist. The crashes didn't show up. The bodies aren't there. The disaster didn't happen. The product is "safe" for whatever reasonable definition you want to pick.

And to be clear, my sense is the same: FSD microdriving at this point is better than mine, interventions are about planning and intersection recognition. It'll be slow to take turns sometimes, it'll be in the wrong lane to prepare for a turn, stuff like that.
You do not seem to be embracing an open-minded discussion about the philosophy. Why beg the question? Are you admitting the State is the authority under which you are granted all privilege to live, love, and work? Who is to stop someone if you are being attacked, and your children are at risk? Do you wish you had a permit to allow you to breath?

"self-evident," means it requires no formal proof, as it is obvious to all with common sense and reason.

Businesses aren't charitable. They keep customers to donate money and then donate the money in the businesses name and get a tax write off. I agree it isn't the responsibility of business owners to take care of the homeless, it's the government. We should providing housing to these people. Luckily for us big businesses has advocated for a world that is good for them and bad for us. If free housing was available people wouldn't be so exploitable and would be able to hold out for higher paying jobs.
Not really. If reparations were seen as a fee for remaining independent country they could be very fair given the alternative.

I have seen this "huge improvement" comment about FSD just about in every discussion about FSD ever, since the first version. It keeps getting huge improvements, and it's still not done. At this point I expect version 579 of FSD will still be a "huge improvement" over 578, but just not 100% yet, and will soon be finished.
