The Lynching of Bob Broome
I'm imagining several genres of text based adventures that could make very good use of this library. Cyberpunk, fantasy, and horror.

Very subtle uses of this could go a long way.
It’s a leveller. People who haven’t had the benefits of working with the exact stack on the same type of problem in another similar company still get a shot. Do you have the drive and enough mental acuity to solve this set of problems? You’ll figure out the stack and job.
I’m not sure calling folks like Rand Fishkin a grifter is all that accurate, to put it politely.
Say what you will about working from home but my company went almost entirely remote after COVID and I have barely spoken to anyone who isn't on my team in 4 years.

I used to regularly chat up our support, design and production people because we would just happen to be standing near each other waiting for our tea or something. I have to actively seek out that sort of talk now and frankly I'm really shy so that's not going to happen.

I genuinely think it's been a major loss.
They're also often far less confusing than people expect them to be. The interchange where you cross over is generally done at as close to a 90 degree angle as practical, so it "feels" like two one-way roads crossing at an intersection rather than switching to drive on the wrong side of the road.

I'm saying Ars is jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly. You can call that fake news if you want, I didn't.
I never thought I'd see so many high-level executives facing penalties for their crimes. Excellent. I feel the same about this as a non-doping athlete might feel about their doped competitor being held accountable. It's not a level playing field when some people are allowed to cheat with impunity. Competition requires everyone to play by the same rules, or in this case, laws.
You do need an invite. I see this as a feature - not a bug.
It massively cuts down on spam. And also makes removing spammers much easier due to the fact that it is not just invite only - it also has a public invite tree. So a spammer cannot just make 100s invites for sock puppets. They are trivially eliminated as well.

I would hope so but from looking online apparently they can use it as a case to evict you or not renew your lease even without much evidence.

I have sent an email to the administration to ensure that we have it in writing that we are sure it is not us and are happy to do whatever we can to help investigate so at least there is some paper trail.
You’re responding to someone complaining about an overly authoritative government by saying that you don’t see the problem, it’s just that the local police force tortures people with downright medieval techniques.
The push for "TLS all the things" was already a massive overreach that actively made security worse overall, because it further ingrained the user tendency to click through scary browser warnings (all for the sake of encrypting things that were fine in plaintext). And you want to go even further? No thank you.
If you've ever observed the sea of grey hair in a community input meeting you'd know it is not a representative democracy. People across many cities have voted in favour of change to the status quo, only to be met with non-democratic resistance from back channels and other apparatuses established by incumbent homeowners who have infinite time and seemingly infinite resources to fight the will of the people to preserve their fiefdom.
May not require new physics but may be arbitrarily expensive / impractical to build in reality, no?

The web is dying and turning slowly into a rotten soup of AI generated dreck.

They are trying to stay ahead of it. In my actual experience, the results are pretty decent. It’s not like the top web results are amazing these days.

It’s funny that Google’s individual AI result failures are headline news while the many similar failures and drama around OpenAI are shrugged off. Google is almost like Apple when it comes to AI news - megahype for problems.
Neat idea.

For some reason I thought this might be for calibrating cartridge alignment. If someone can come up with an easier way to correct that it would be amazing.

Hi, it does split chapters with AudiowaveAI using markdown. It converts other formats to markdown and uses that.

So you can either copy and paste a markdown file there or upload it. PDF and epub would work too, but it is a bit more finky.

I'm happy to help; there are a few authors who contacted me, and I'm releasing an HD quality for authors this week, too (less static noise).

Not Apple under Jobs. There were projects in isolated buildings. Few on the Mac side were allowed to know about the iPhone until it launched.

Apple's new building is a ring. How many employees can walk all the way around the ring?
In antitrust law, the key focus is on the excess profits companies can obtain from consumers through their monopolistic conduct. Profits is more important to that analysis than choice. Tech companies are in a state of monopolistic competition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolistic_competition. There’s theoretical choices, but because tech companies have big moats, those choices are largely imaginary and the companies enjoy significant monopolistic pricing power. Telecommunications service, by contrast, is largely fungible. Even a small amount of competition is sufficient to curb the ability of providers to exert significant monopoly power to achieve excess profits.
CogVLM should be, not sure how CogAgent plays into this. This isn't an agent.
While Clojure emphasizes lazy persistent sequences, it still uses lists as a primary data structure and supports list processing. The new data structures are extensions, not replacements, designed to address specific application needs more effectively.

Many classical Lisp implementations also compile code. Compilation does not preclude a language from being a Lisp. Clojure continues the use of s-expressions for code and data representation. Clojure provides a REPL, a staple of Lisp environments.

Clojure retains the homoiconic nature of Lisp. Macros in Clojure very much akin to those in traditional Lisps.

Clojure’s design choices are about extending Lisp principles to solve modern software engineering challenges. Rich Hickey wasn't like: "Lispers were all wrong..." He chose to build the language on top of Lisp principles, and these principles are evident, unmistakably clear and can be seen with a naked eye.

I'm honestly getting worn out by this debate. You're delving into the minutiae of taxonomy, like whether early hominids can be classified as humans, and it's just exhausting. I've told you before, and I'll tell you again — unless someone truly eminent persuades Rich and he eventually concedes, saying: "Yes, Clojure in reality ain't no Lisp..." only then will I alter my position. Until that time, I will continue to call it a Lisp, regard it as a Lisp, and talk about it as a Lisp. The only thing you can do to change my opinion - is to persuade Rich to change his.
I see they have experimental AMD backends that don’t use ROCm. Is ROCm that bad that they wrote their own, or was there some other justification for this?
To be fair, LLM-based chatbots are much better about this because you don't need to discover the magic incantation to talk to a human. It's a trade-off because that same property introduces the possibility of hallucination.
It's not grumpy to prefer function over form in a tool. People optimize for different things. GP's comment is reasonable; they're optimizing for something different than you.

Yes, unless the response is way disproportionate. Gaza victim count is already 30 times higher than Oct 7th, and they're not going to stop soon. Israel has one of the most advanced armies in the world, still they resort to carpet bombings with no regards of the many innocents involved. They're no better than Hamas or Putin's Russia to me.
The very reason of Israel invasion in Gaza isn't the life of prisoners (some of which they even killed with bombings) but to grab some more land, and Oct 7th gave them a very convenient excuse.
ut is a little bit smarter than f0. they provide ui components and server-framework bindings for file uploads.

I feel like f0 is a more minimalistic take on file management. More comparable to Vercel blobs than ut. I don't feel these two are comparable though. ut is a nice product if you are looking for those functionalities though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alameda_Municipal_Power

> Founded in 1887, it provides electricity to c. 34,000 residential, commercial, and municipal customers at rates up to 20 percent below neighboring communities.

> ...

> AMP has been providing 100% clean energy since 2020 and did so in 2023 at approximately a 35% saving over comparable PG&E rates.

However, my point is one of that the state of California shouldn't be the one owning (and maintaining) the transmission lines. And even if there was a public takeover of PG&E back when it was going through its bankruptcy - there still would have been many transmission lines owned by companies that are not PG&E.

Having taxes go to a hypothetical state-PG&E would also get into issues of the public sector directly competing with the private sector and using money from California for areas that they are not serviced by ( https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/minimalist/index.html?ap... ). You can see that Alameda and Sacramento and many other areas are not serviced by PG&E.

Would it be reasonable for California to have bought PG&E and then add to the taxes for California to support the connection fees... and how would you handle the people who live in areas that aren't served by PG&E (like Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Mountain House, Sacramento ... and all of Southern California ... and everything east of the Sierras but still in California)

I believe for a while that Google didn’t consider Domain Authority much.

For a while, I would create pages like “Bank of XYZ Phone Numbers” or “Phone Numbers for $ThatTelecomYouHate” and often rank #1.

Which made sense, because my page was just a very parseable page of their actual phone numbers, but obviously risk for harm there.

Phone numbers on the actual orgs’ websites were hard to find because, well, they wanted you to do anything but call them because calling cost them money. And the big corp websites were always an SEO mess that I’m not surprised a crawler could not comprehend.

Of course the ads were all for competitors, so I enjoyed making money and costing them customers at the same time.

After some years, Google would start returning you 10 different results from the orgs’ websites, playing into their hand of having you do anything but call your bank/telco.
The Most Powerful Sound in the World Is Just One Syllable
I never really understood why whataboutism is meant to be a universally rejected objection.

In this particular case GGP hints that Israel gets favour treatment to gets away with anything. GP then retorts that others get away with as much, which is a valid objection to that claim, since it is invalidates the supposed Israeli exception. Neither GP nor GGP claimed that anybody should get away with crimes.

Neither the claim nor the objection are backed by any argument so the whole thread isn't very illuminating, but it has become in fashion to bring up whataboutism against any attempt at contextualising the discussion and I find this a curious trend.

Yeah the real issue is the protestors who are somehow dog whistling nazis because you believe a state should be above reproach. The real nazis are those who protest against an actual genocide happening as we speak. I mean think about it, they shout "genocidal" slogans! That's why we should support the actual genocidal state.
Eh, sad ending.
Dogma is how religion works, not engineering. If someone doesn't believe the benefit is worth the cost, they can and should question the practice. Blind obedience to a dogma of "just do HTTPS" is not a reasonable approach.

> an adversary can see that your users from one region are interested in the weather and can start building a map of that traffic

I think this is the most convincing argument, but, I think that some data doesn't care if it is not confidential. The weather is perhaps more pointed, but I think for large protected binaries (either executable or inscrutable, e.g. encrypted or sig protected archives), its a bit moot and possibly only worse performing.

However, also remember that https does not protect all data, just the application portion - adversaries can still see, map, and measure traffic to bobthebaker.com and sallyswidgets.biz. To truly protect that information, https is the wrong protocol, you need something like Tor or similar bit mixing.

> The urge to measure everything by income leads to absurd results

What? Measuring relative to income is the only criteria that matters. What would be absurd is not to compare to income.

There isn't any absolute number at which housing is affordable or not affordable. It is purely a function of what percentage you need to spend of your income to be housed.
Yeah I tried a bunch of them and OpenAI's TTS was by far the best.

Outside of that standard tech stack Next.js, Postgres, TailwindCSS.

It is still early days for ML TTS, and it will be exciting to see the compute requirements drop and for it to run on the device. OSS models have some promise, but still not there from quality perspective.
> “Alignment” and certainly leadership isn’t sufficient to prevent a highly complex, highly interdependent system from becoming totally unresolvable, i.e. impossible to work on or within.

Yes, but Leadership is a necessary condition for alignment to happen.

That is the essence of leadership. Make an important decision and have people follow it. If Bezos just made a decision but not enforce it, he would not reach same scale Amazon and created AWS as by product.

For me, you suggested technical approaches either via process, organisation, and technology.

Coda Hale's "work is work" is my favorite analysis of this topic, because of its focus on axiomatic mathematical upper bounds on productivity and how you can avoid hitting them:

https://codahale.com//work-is-work/

The solution, as mentioned by other comments already, is for leaders to ruthlessly focus on keeping work efforts as independent as possible:

> When presented with a set of problems which grow superlinearly intractable as N increases, our best bet is to keep N small. If the organization’s intent is to increase value delivery by hiring more people, work efforts must be as independent as possible. Leaders should develop practices and processes to ensure that the work efforts which their strategies consider parallel are actually parallel. Shared resources should be continuously managed for contention, and where possible, the resources a group needs should be colocated with that group (e.g., if the work involves a lot of design, staff a designer to that group). Combined arms doctrine isn’t just for soldiers.

Ah yes, apologies. Again, it's not strictly part of the HTTP request, but part of the TLS handshake around it. And only part of the TLS handshake as part of SNI, if supported (which is true by default).

> "Server Name Indication payload is not encrypted, thus the hostname of the server the client tries to connect to is visible to a passive eavesdropper."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication

So you're right, this is more aligned to the HTTP request than the DNS resolution of hostname that I mentioned. Strictly speaking, it's not part of HTTP per se (it's part of TLS), but still, it's in the same request in the most common definition, as you are saying.
There are more components to housing prices than just not building enough, but in ordinary markets that aren't constrained by pathological factors (e.g. China), supply and demand operates and increasing supply lowers prices.

For example, suppose you don't have artificial supply constraints and then you lower interest rates. No problem, more people can get a loan to buy a house which causes more houses to be built and them more people get to be homeowners. But long-term prices stay the same, because it's easy to add supply, so it keeps getting added until prices fall to the construction costs, which acts as a long-term ceiling on prices.

Now suppose you do have artificial supply constraints. Prices are at $200,000 but you've made it cost $1,000,000 to create a new housing unit. Now if you lower interest rates, prices are going to go up, because you can't increase supply at the current price so people just end up having to outbid each other on the existing supply. And the same thing if local demand increases or anything else like that, because you've prevented supply from responding to demand until prices hit a million dollars.

But the problem isn't low interest rates or growing cities or anything like that, because the only reason those things are a problem is that supply can't increase until prices are unaffordable.

Those chickens have a lot of genetic legacy related with old practices of cockfighting. Being aggressive also helps with survival.

Races of chicken that were breed to fight are very slim and all muscle. Not much different than pigeons. Probably a hard meat. Old roosters of most other races are perfectly edible.

Of course locals could have more than one motive to not want foreigners eating the birds. Specially when there is an old and widespread tradition of let the chicken free-range around villages
