I'm more excited for the day we can have robot do that for the analog stuff instead. I'd rather sit and enjoy organizing files on my computer than loading the washing machine, the dishwasher, folding clothes, packing for vacations .. well you get the point.

Would be cool if I can build CI pipelines for daily stuff, just describe everything in YAML* and not have to do repetitive tasks all the time.

* or, hopefully something better that isn't a pain to write
Yes, in that era it was somewhat lawless interfeudal warfare, arguably as big as a threat as those from other kingdoms/empires. The Italian city states would also fight against each other.

I think part of the motivation for the Crusades, was redirect those feuds elsewhere. And it worked somewhat.
Last N audio with N about 3 is pretty common. That might be you and three others, or three speakers including you. Beyond that isn't very common, because a) it's not very useful, and b) Google's WebRTC software (which is commonly embedded elsewhere) would only decode three audio streams anyway.
Most Annoying Snake Game
I've always hated chess because of my dad! He wouldn't even prompt me about what I might have considered that could have helped, so after a dozen or so games in the span of an hour, I decided I didn't want to play with him anymore, and that the game was stupid. Only one of those was the right call.

By the time I was 10, basketball, pool, ping pong, darts, air hockey, and foosball were all on the list of things to stop playing as soon as dad started. I can't even relate to how insecure you have to be to beat an 8-year-old girl at "horse" by making shots from far enough away that she can't possibly have the muscle strength to throw that far. I get making your kids earn their wins, but what fun is it when you make it impossible??
That isn't simple at all!
LLMs have no agency. One would probably have to add some reward framework around LLMs, and it'd be more likely that the depression shows up there, rather than in the language model.

Autosharing can be easily solved by simple Google Apps Script. I scan my personal calendar and share recording to Slack channel when I detect group meeting with recording available. Mail me, so I can arrange something for you.

Autorecording - yeah, this is missing. There is paid Chrome Extension which do that, but I have never tested it.

Had a case in Canada where a fisherman ignored the maps and kept picking up a fibre optic line with their fishing gear, and eventually cut it with a saw (twice):

(I suspect it was a short-haul line, so carried no electricity for amplifiers)

> In 2005, however, he managed to pull up the Sunoque I. He did not know what it was but managed to free his anchor

> The next year, he again hooked an anchor on the Sunoque I. This time he was able to haul it out of the water and secure it on deck. He made no effort to free it. He deliberately cut the cable in two with an electric saw. A few days later the same thing happened. This time it was much easier to haul the cable out, and he cut it again.

> Some weeks later, after the fishing season, while on the dock at Baie-Comeau he noticed a strange looking ship in the area where he usually fished. Later, he saw a photo of the ship in the local newspaper. The accompanying article stated that the cable had been deliberately cut and a search was on for the culprit.
The high level strategy would be to get the browser tab contents and then ask a local LLM to organize the tabs based on their full content. If you run selenium or some developer versions of certain browsers you might be able to source the full contents directly, including any state that may not be obvious from only the URL. If the url of the tabs is enough (for most cases it should be), then there are many options and relatively easy implementations possible. Emacs has tools to communicate with browsers (though they depend on the local OS and some are limited to only certain browsers or certain OSs), so if you are happy with controlling the tabs from Emacs, you could simply reorganize/regroup the tabs within an Emacs buffer with the help of an LLM that gets the url and may open up connections to see what the trivially accessible contents aee. I would use this and might test this idea when I am not AFK. If Emacs is not an option, perhaps find an OS or extension-dependent way to reorganize the tabs.
Teachers should be compensated as much as doctors and held to the same academic rigor, but then we'd run up against the rude reality that those of us who are well off tend to hate the idea of paying for such a feature e.g through taxes.

It seems like the sales team went out of their way to try and land a $10k/mo deal. Then when they heard there was a second potential suitor in the mix they got upset and said “well we never wanted your $10k anyways!” and destroyed any chance of reconciliation. Very sour grapes/ no second date on tinder type of reaction.

If there is a TOS issue I’m not listening to a sales pitch on it. You better tell me what the issue is upfront in the first email instead of dicking around with the commission based workers. Like very low level stuff here imo

Stone, sand, and soil for Silicon? No mention of integrated circuits, the single most impactful tech in recent history? Meanwhile, Germanium, gets the semiconductor electronics mention. Yes, Germanium is used in certain IC processes, but Silicon has orders of magnitudes more use in semiconductor electronics. Seems like an extremely odd choice to relegate Silicon to nothing more than stone, sand, and soil.

This was a great read! I generally find quanta magazine articles and podcasts to be of higher quality than a lot of other pop science journalism.

Can somebody point me towards a good review article or textbook to learn about the chemistry of the brain? Any exciting startups working in this field? Or any startups trying to come up with unconventional treatments for mental health problems?
Based on the project description, Definitely not.
Yup, young people just need to be handed a framework. It would go something like this: you are poorer than your parents and your grandparents, but look - Jeff Bezos made a rocket that can take rich people almost (but not quite) into space! Young people also need to be told there is no recession and the economy is booming. The fact that they are seeing none of this boom is their fault. Oh, and all the foreign wars that we are paying for instead are for a righteous cause.
This looks like a straw man to me. I’ve never heard opponents of nuclear power claiming that mining uranium ore would lead to less mining than renewable energy sources.

The arguments usually brought up are the consequences of accidents, the lack of long term solutions to nuclear waste, it’s too slow to build (we need to reduce our carbon footprint now, not in 15 years), and that it is too expensive to compete with sun and wind.
That makes sense when you realize that what C folks care about more than anything else is _ABI compatibility_. Changes to language or toolchain are acceptable as long as they don't change the ABI.

E.g. consider the hemming and hawing about a 64-bit time_t. That's a tiny change in comparison, and one that's obviously unavoidable and with a strict deadline. And yet...

I forked Ruby to have require that didn't clobber the symbol table but then lost interest in Ruby itself because the ecosystem seems unhinged on shared global mutable state.

Also ”makes people go crazy” is a fittingly insulting way to put depression in a comment that’s way off base to begin with.
You misinterpreted the article, which is about solutions which just "come" after heavy brain activity. You're talking about iterative, conscious problem solving, which is the complete opposite.

I don’t know about this cable specifically, but it can be done by transferring more power to the optical signal.

Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers work by utilizing a nonlinear optical effect where energy is transferred from a pump laser to the signal. This is in principle possible in any optical (glass) fiber, but by doping with exotic elements, the amplification characteristics can be optimized. Erbium is suitable for the conventional communication wavelengths.

For reference I have a PhD in information theory and signal processing for fiber channels.

Doesn't help that everyone has already gamified the Google search results. I used top be able to find an answer to a difficult question by going 2-3 pages deep. Now, I know if I have to go past the 1st page its all spam.

I think it could also be related to diagnosing these issues. Nobody knew about depression in the 17th century, so nobody was diagnosed with it. As time goes on, more and more people in different parts of the world have access to the facilities required for getting diagnosed with a mental illness.
What's the difference? Do you mean that Taiwan's claim is purely on paper and they actually admit it's Philippines territory because they did nothing to vessels around?

Also, according to Wikipedia page [1]:

and under "Military occupations":

> Occupied by Taiwan (ROC)

> because so many people get this wrong.

All these terms are just so unintuitive for a mere mortal like me.

Energy? Power? The difference between those two words has as much importance to the common person as the difference between "empathy" vs "compassion", or "theory" vs "hypothesis", or "less" vs "fewer".

kW being a "stuff over time", but kWh being "amount of stuff"? I don't doubt the math checks out if you expand all units, but I'm as dumb as a wet rock so it took me a while to get this.

---

If people wanted me to understand this way sooner, they should have started asking me to think in terms of "kcal" (kilocalories).

At least I know that kcal is an "amount of stuff" because it's something you hear if you talk about food. And there's no mention of "hour" anywhere in the name (like with "kWh"), so the name doesn't have anything misleading.

Then just tell me that "860.421kcal/h = 1kW" (the numbers don't really matter), and ask me to solve for kcal.

When I move the "h" from the left to the right, and the equation becomes "860.421kcal = 1kW * h", everything will click.

---

Food has kcal, so kcal is something that can be stored. When the equation has "kcal" on the left, it has "kW * h" on the right, so that means batteries store "kW * h".

When I think of "kW" alone, I will remember that the "* h" moved to the left side and became "/h".

I might forget stuff, but I know what food is, and I know that there exists an equation, at one side there's "kcal", at the other side there's "kW", and there's an "h" somewhere in there.

And "kcal * h" will look wrong af, so I will remember that if the "h" at the left side, it will be "kcal/h".

Result: Now I have an intuition for this.

(EDIT: Escaping, and add some separators to hopefully make the comment easier to read.)
I could see this happening. Zoom for example already uses ultrasonic sound to detect what conference room a laptop is in for one-click screen sharing.

Its not like they rented out office space like in downtown Manhattan. Also no factories that required thousands of workers. So I'm not sure the modern analogy of square footage

Mines are job providers, so at least some policymakers are actively opposed to reducing it.

These are the sorts of things that won't yield to a specific keyword search (because you aren't giving the search engine the "terms of art" used people who use the thing), but where you can probably figure these out pretty quickly if you just do a search to find some kind of index for the category-of-thing and start browsing.

I'd recommend search queries like "types of knives", "obscure kitchen utensils", "what is this knife", etc.

You can also try giving /r/tipofmytongue or a related subreddit a very detailed description of the object. Some of the results from the above queries point to people asking questions like this on subreddits like /r/tools.

(Or you could do the same thing with ChatGPT — but that'll only work if someone has ever before described the object in a book or on the Internet somewhere, in the terms you're using. ChatGPT can only match your verbal questions to verbal memories. Whereas a person on a subreddit can take your description, conjure a mental image of it, and then correlate that mental image with a visual memory.)

I'll also take a shot at giving you starting points, just because I happen to find learning about weird kitchen tools fascinating:

> Like a ridiculously long knife with a slightly curved blade, rounded tip, and blunt edge.

A cake-icing spatula of some kind? I would imagine one made specifically for smoothing the icing on the side of a cylindrical layer cake would have this shape.

Usually cake spatulas are also offset (blade makes two complementary bends and so ends up parallel to, but not in line with, the handle), but they don't have to be.

> Or a serrated knife with that curves back on itself.

If the end can also be used as a fork, then that's a cheese knife.
it's not that related, I like to create compilers/transpilers/weird languages, see the "Language Projects" section here: https://marianoguerra.github.io/

But there's a relation, two years ago I prototyped a thing that tried to make a headless version of instadeq that could run in the browser and the server, the idea was a dataflow language where the data was represented as apache arrow tables where filters and transformation expressions where compiled to wasm. The prototype kind of worked and I had a lot of fun, I thought about sharing the fun by writing a small book about creating 10 toy languages that compiled to Wasm, I shared the idea with Patrick, he said he was thinking about something similar and the idea evolved into the current book.
In-browser data analysis is a great place to use Wasm. Javascript is great, but larger datasets really benefit from SIMD + tighter memory control/controlled memory layouts.

Some interesting data-related Wasm projects:

I'm sorry but this seems incredibly stupid to me. Bicycles for scandium? What? Only some bicycles use that, and then it's only one component among many. Thinking of a bicycle in relation to scandium is not useful or instructive in any way and tells you literally nothing about scandium. The same goes for most of this somewhat ridiculous graphic.

I think NASA helped fund it because they wanted more (And more reliable) data to a groundstation on the island, not because this subsea cable is anything special.

Fibre optic is great because you can usually add more bandwidth by lighting up another wavelength. The amplifiers don't need to be substituted if the wavelength is within its range.

I didn't say that's what I thought, though.
Cloudflare could've just said so. Cloudflare also chose to make BYOIP expensive.

They could've explained the problem ("your gambling business is a problem for our IP reputation") and offered a solution ("we can switch you over to BYOIP so this won't be a problem"), but instead they sent in an army of sales reps that demanded an upfront payment for a product tier that they only needed one small part of, to the point of sales people pretending to be part of other teams.

It makes business sense to kick out casinos, but OP got fucked over by Cloudflare's shitty practices.

No line numbers, either!
My thoughts as well. If we are settling into our armchairs, I think a big part of it is cognitive dissonance trying to reconcile the risky and imperfect world with the impossible idealism they were raised to believe in.

Also they are confronted with having less and less agency and control as information shrinks and standardizes the world.

Cheap clones of the DE-10 Nano ($99 target) are allegedly on the way along with new boards that make different tradeoffs with the pins. Should be interesting - there’s a lot of life left (PSX/N64/Saturn are all very recently added) imo but the price and availability issues are unfortunate.
Transform Your Design Process with a Unique Subscription Model
Bullshit. You can go to the GRC website and forums to see that he has never changed his opinion on the snake oil of Spinrite for modern drives.
And the very fact that he continues to sell something with claims that cannot possibly be true for modern (past 30 years) hard drives (not to mention SSDs) is alone enough evidence.

I cannot read his mind. But my guess is that he actually believes a lot of the nonsense he is spouting, it isn’t malice. That doesn’t make him any less of a crackpot though.
The confusion is a risk but I think it will diminish over time, particularly once we launch the new network.
Locals liked to say they had the best internet connection in the worlds, idk about that. NASA is a customer of the satellite station there.
Cloudflare certainly handled this poorly in their execution and abysmal level of transparency, but they’re almost certainly purging loss-leading risky customers like OP and they really don’t owe OP the time of day.

OP is lucky CloudFlare even gave them 24 hours. I’m not going to dig through the their TOS or anything but I’m going to guess that you need to have an Enterprise contract to be a business of certain categories like banks/crypto, pornography, and gambling, which explains why they were being connected with a sales team.

OP mentions lost customer trust…but Cloudflare doesn’t want or need OP to trust them. $250 a month isn’t enough to deal with a business like that.
I do find it humorous how some of the ways to bypass the response guardrails put on LLMs seem to resemble the kind of techniques used in hypnosis.

To quote the article

"I've always managed my data myself, taking personal responsibility for protecting it and backing it up. I don't want or need Apple to insert itself into this process as a remote nanny."

But do this to sync to iCloud at all, you'd have to log into an Apple account in the first place on the machine. Surely that is counter to the requirement?
More details:
You need practicing, so you need experiments/computers/supplies/projects — this is true both in engineering and art school, any time you do anything that's not completely pen and paper.

You also need to divert time from your researchers to teaching activities. You need to pay for classrooms, that's real estate, plumbing, electricity, etc.

Keeping up with the state of the art in research isn't cheap, and using part of those funds to purely teach and not compete with other countries is an investment that's not neutral.
