Maybe all it takes for this is a new canonical file extension, i.e. something like .m4g?

The contract for these could be something like "no sound, default playback in a loop, 30 seconds or less; don't render if any of these requirements aren't met" to make sure people don't abuse it for auto-playing videos.

Having used Aspire during pre-release, it's so nice as a developer to be able to work on deployments in a real programming language where I can set breakpoints and right-click down into the code to see what's going on.

I've always heard that deflation is awful and must be avoided. Following WWI, this marks a period of "13 Year Deflation" from ~1918 - 1931, but this includes a period marked "prosperity" from 1922-1929, though commodity prices then dive as the depression deepens. But what conditions made deflation and growth possible together in the 1920s?

> You get one vote and the other people get one vote. With Dark Money, one side gets access to control a million votes and you get one vote. That's wrong.

No, that's not correct at all. "Dark money" doesn't control anything at all, and is usually just used for outreach and advocacy in an attempt to persuade people to make choices consistent with certain aims or principles.

The "million votes" you're referring latterly to are the aggregation of the "other people's" votes you mentioned formerly, and those people decide for themselves whether the arguments being made by advocacy groups are sufficiently persuasive to factor into how they are casting their votes.

> Also, corporations are not people, so a corporation giving to a cause (No matter the cause) should be known by everyone.

Corporations are just organizational models used by people instrumentally to pursue their goals. They have no concrete existence or any independent moral agency, and so factor out of the discussion entirely.

Adding to the litany of bad google ideas from the past 10+ years:

- Shoving AI down our throats in their MAIN PRODUCT

What's the source of this rot? I have a friend at google who says the place is filled with smart people competing with each other. Perhaps this competition fuels a chaotic lack of coherency? Kind of feels like they have no clear vision in the "Google Ecosystem", and are hopping on the AI bandwagon with hopes it'll ride them into the future.

Sure, Netanyahu claims this in front of the cameras, but when the specter of delays in US aid was actually hanging in the air, Israeli officials were painting a very different picture [0]:

> Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Yuli Edelstein said that when he was on Capitol Hill last week, he told all of his interlocutors that the aid “is extremely urgent.”

> “This is aid for immediate needs, not for something we’ll use in a matter of years,” he emphasized to JI on Thursday.

The clear reality is that Israel, while extremely high tech, just doesn't have anywhere near the necessary production of ammunitions and weapons to act in this war without US aid. Especially if the USA and EU countries were to prohibit weapons shipments entirely (as they clearly should for any country currently engaging in a genocide).

Even the recent successful defense against the Iranian retaliation required direct US and French assistance, it wasn't possible with Israeli forces and equipment alone.

It's funny. People describe FreeCAD as maddening or sadistic, and for sure there are elements of the workflow that are frustrating (I'd be happy if I could do the five things I use the Draft workbench for without ever having to open it), but at the same time, it's so liberating and enthralling once you get your head into its way of thinking.

For me it's like QGIS or Inkscape: it's mindblowing that this tool is available to me for free. The trivial things I've been able to do have really changed my life (and I don't mean to overstate that -- these are things I never thought I'd learn and the impacts on my creativity have been striking).
This is also why the internet breeds extremism. The rarest and most extreme ideas feel much more common than they ever did. They propagate differently than they ever used to. And nearly any political cause now fails a "no true Scotsman" check.

It will write boilerplate stuff a lot for me. "write me a function to do (simple thing i can't remember) in python 3" types of things. I use enterprise bing that's integrated with copilot like how I used to use google. Occasionally, I'll run into a strange issue and present the symptoms to copilot and ask it if it can come up with a list of potential causes for me, and occasionally it'll spark an idea for me. Usually these types of questions will get a list of "sanity" checks that are useful no matter what in case you forgot one.

It's more of a companion to bounce ideas off of and do menial work than something that actually does thinking for me.

Fujicolor was featured in this article. Interestingly, the Fujinon line of cameras which do film emulation, like the Fuji X100v and X100vi, are almost always sold out. The nostalgia for the beautiful “film look” is a blessing to Fuji because of their heritage in the film industry. They translated their proprietary film line into digital cameras with JPEG* emulations and are finding great demand to the point where they had to pause orders and expand manufacturing.

I recently messed around with using OpenSCAD's WASM build to make a serial plate generator for Voron printers[1], and the one take away from it is that we desperately need a cad export format that preserves variables and history so that parts can be regenerated with new parameters. OpenSCAD, or some other project built on top of it could get there, but not without some major work. Currently building complex projects in OpenSCAD feels like a form of self harm.

They're accurate enough to tap on a single OSK key and get it right most of the time. Regardless, tap targets are only a very limited factor in UX design, so there should be plenty of scope for enhancing information density after accounting for that.
While I doubt you can cover all eventualities additions like this would indicate to me that there's room to improve in how you present information or teach the player within the game itself. I find it hard to believe an AI response will provide the best experience, and the wikis presence indicates most 'figure it out yourself' seems to have gone by the wayside for many players already so why not cut to the chase and have a straightforward crafting menu (and maybe a 'mystery mode' that leaves you to figure it out if you want to).

On a larger scale, it also seems to demonstrate the different motivations in playing, or the destination versus the journey. For me part of the reason I'd play Factorio is engaging with problem solving assuming the relevant breadcrumbs are there to follow or puzzle pieces to assemble. Following distinct instructions to goals is a different experience that I'd look to other games to provide.

I'd also posit that there is a bit of a "Baader–Meinhof phenomenon" equivalent that plays a part in one's (such as the OP) potential bias towards constantly seeing recurrent patterns of negativity.
If reading something is hurting your feelings, you can stop reading it.

Twitter even provides mute, block, and whatnot functionality to prevent specified things from even showing up in your line of sight to begin with. And if the app is really bothering you, you can always set it down and go outside, take a walk, meet somebody new, do something that will put a smile on your face on your deathbed.

Lumping in mean comments online, with actual abuse is approaching risible. Words have meanings, we shouldn’t dilute or distort them.

By Twitter “not taking action,” sounds like your friend is upset that he or she can no longer co-opt the proprietors of the site into enacting punitive measures on people who draw his or her ire.

Maybe some mean things were said or whatever, but at the end of the day it’s just text on a screen isn’t it? And there’s a lot more to life than text on a screen, isn’t there?

It’s also weird how you mention the technical functioning of the site, then bring up the “Trust & Safety Org” when the legacy of “Trust & Safety” is a small cabal with extremist views arbitrarily deciding what information to censor and suppress based on their own viewpoints, whims, and influence from government agencies.

That has nothing to do with the technical functioning of the site which is a matter of reproducible, specifiable, determinate functions implemented in computer code to produce a useful product. The kind of thing that really turns the mind of an autist on.

P.S. Not to be too blasé about your friend, mean words can be an issue, especially an ongoing pattern, but anonymous strangers online seems like less of an issue than irl, and was this really an issue where block or mute wasn’t sufficient? How so?
Irrational exuberance in stock performance.
I don't think their first point meant to say that there is no going back on deployed e2ee at scale, I believe they were just providing ground for connecting the next two points: it's so pervasive currently that, even if outlawed, criminals will always have no problem retaining access to it somehow. Even Signal, which relies on fairly centralized infrastructure, still has an open source server implementation that I suspect wouldn't be terribly difficult for a motivated criminal enterprise to deploy privately. Contrast with something like advanced weapon systems, where rarity makes it still viable to control and legislate.
It's exciting to see a new entry into this space, especially one that is trying to create a new kernel. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely to be successful. The top kernels in the industry have been in development for decades by armies of CAGD PhDs and programmers, with funding from automotive and aerospace companies. Getting to table-stakes with the feature set will take a long time.

I also question what user problems this is trying to solve. CAD users don't necessarily need things to be open source. They may have limited budgets, but open source is not a user facing feature in this space the way it might be for some developers. Plasticity has shown that it is possible to license Parasolid and make money at a very low price point.

I've been using parametric CAD tools for 30+ years. I find that Onshape is a pretty amazing solution to many of the issues that exist with Creo or Solidworks. I never loose data. Having the equivalent of Google Docs for collaborative CAD with unlimited undo based on a ground up database instead of a file system is life changing. That said, its modeling capabilities are still playing catch up with other tools.

A big downside to Onshape (and Creo and Solidworks) is that it started as 2D sketches to extrude/revovle/loft etc into 3D objects. 3D tools are an add on and afterthought to the fundamentals. Plasticity (and Rhino and Alias) are all much more 3D first.

Onshape's FeatureScript is really cool and powerful, but it is not as good for CAD users to build their own tools as say Grasshopper in Rhino.

I would focus on what user problems are being solved. How will CADmium be a better CAD tool for a certain market than any of the others paid or free? Even though this is very early days in the development process, it's not too early to try to understand user needs. Open source is not in and of itself a goal.
The things are bloody awful and only bring back the longing misery of not being able to afford something less than awful for me. The things weren't even a match for a cheap no brand 35mm compact in the end. Plus they are instant trash. Nothing likeable at all.

Absolutely amazing. I have high hope for this project to be a real OnShape competitor!

Corporate Transparency Act Declared Unconstitutional in New Case
FTA:

> The Corporate Transparency Act, a burdensome new law that would require some 32 million closely held businesses to file invasive information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, has just been declared unconstitutional in National Small Business United, d/b/a the National Small Business Association vs. Janet Yellen, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Treasury, 2024 Mar 1, 2024, U.S. District Court, N.D. of Alabama.

> The Court concluded: “The Corporate Transparency Act is unconstitutional because it cannot be justified as an exercise of Congress’s enumerated powers.”

Despite being found unconstitutional as well as being especially cruel:

> The CTA was enacted as part of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act and became effective for newly formed entities (called “Reporting Companies”) on Jan. 1, 2024. Entities existing prior to 2024 would have had to complete their first filings by Jan. 1, 2025. The penalties for non-compliance are huge, $500/day plus potentially two years in jail. The information that has to be filed is complex and invasive and would include for each Beneficial Owner of every Reporting Company personal information such as home address, Social Security Number and a copy of a driver’s license or passport. Figuring out which entities are classified as Reporting Companies and which direct or indirect owners or persons holding substantial control over those entities is incredibly complicated.

the ruling has been interpreted to exempt only a handful of plaintiffs, specifically:

> Isaac Winkles, reporting companies for which Isaac Winkles is the beneficial owner or applicant, the National Small Business Association, and members of the National Small Business Association (as of March 1, 2024).
