There was a charming theme for Mac OS which looked something along these lines (and there was another which collapsed elements down to the bare minimum of space necessary which was a big help, and wish had been preserved, or re-created on some other platform --- in particular, being able to arrange a line of window-shaded folders and to double-click on any one to make it visible was a god-send on small displays) --- it would be nice if theming were simpler to do/implement.

It is not really automated, more like a few places where I collect links from:

* starred items on FreshRSS, I have a script that can extract them and reset.

* email folder in Thunderbird. On Android I use "Share as" and send emails to myself

* Bookmark folder in Brave. This gets synced from all my devices

* Paper notes with timestamp on youtube videos and podcasts. I like to listen while running, this is simple stupid method. I would like some sort of "clicker", where I just press button to tag timestamp and video, but never got time to do that.

* Paper notes with quotes from books and other PDFs I read. I have to manually find relevant URLs. This will feed new books into my system.

* Google Keep snippets. I never degoogled myself, this is pretty nice app.

* Photos from my phone. I go through that periodically.

Every a few days I go through all of that, and compile it into list of URLs. Some of that is automated (FreshRSS, Google Keep), but it is manual job.

Downloading and processing with LLM takes about two days (I use CPU, about 1000 articles weekly). I run that on my laptop over weekend. LLM generates keywords and links it with my existing notes. Larger documents have summaries with links.

The author's conclusion to question of "are timing attacks viable?" seems to be... it depends on the nature of the language or library. Are most devs going to understand these nuances though?

In the time it takes to research the timing behavior of your runtime, you could have reached for a constant-time comparison instead.

Similarly, in the time it takes you to reach the conclusion the comparison you're using isn't vulnerable, you could have reached for a secure compare instead.

I'm not convinced this post makes a compelling case against the best practice of always using a secure compare for secret strings.

Ketosis isn't a shortcut, it's a critical part of the human organism.

The brain has to run on something, and we store very little glycogen. It wasn't uncommon in the ancestral environment for food to be entirely unavailable, or for the only calories to be in the form of meat, which itself has little glycogen.

So there's a secondary pathway to account for those conditions. A hand-waving argument could be made that in circumstances where there are no calories, it is the most important time for the brain to function well. Glucose is the cheapest, metabolically, that doesn't automatically mean that it's the best.

The reaction someone has to a fast, or to a diet which induces ketosis, is fairly personal. I don't think there are broad sweeping conclusions we can draw here.

My n=1 is that after two days of a fast, I feel pretty sharp. Electrolytes are indeed essential to this; in this context salt is far and away the most important, for whatever reason. I would expect the YMMV factor to dominate though.
The only solution to the housing affordability crisis palatable to current homeowners is to build many new homes of a totally different type that can not be readily substituted. This is already happening where new housing tends to be denser, stacked (apartments) or closer together (row houses). Of course there is some overlap, but to the extent overlap and substitutability can be minimized, current homeowners can enjoy their high values that many have relied upon for retirement plans, and prospective homeowners can enjoy plentiful inexpensive housing to “get into the market”, which would help keep rent costs lower too (much more substitutability between small starter homes/condos and rentals).

Just my 2 cents. If we are reliant on Boomers giving up their house values (which many foolishly rely wholly on for retirement) then there’s zero chance we tackle this crisis.

There isn't always a studio behind a videos release. Sometimes the only remaining copy of a show is found in somebodies VHS collection and its filled with static and audio pops. These often get a standard 'as-is' release and then somebody in the community will clean it up, upscale the video, and fix the audio for a 'proper' release. Same goes for audio, sometimes its a old bootleg tape of a show that gets digitized and cleaned up.

This is before even getting into 'fan edits' where people will re-add cut scenes, or do other edits to films. For an example of that, search for 'Topher Grace Star Wars Prequel'.

> Optimized Go code will generally perform on par with optimized Rust code.

This is an incredibly dangerous assumption. Go and Rust are in a completely different weight class of compiler capability.

Before making an assumption like this, I strongly suggest building a sample application (that is more complex than hello world) in Go and Rust, then compiling both with optimizations and taking a peek at what they compile to with Ghidra/IDA Pro/any other disassembler.

C# + .NET 8 can sometimes trade blows with Rust + LLVM, particularly with struct generics, but Go definitely can't, is far behind in compiler features and doesn't leverage techniques that reduce cost of non-free abstractions that .NET and OpenJDK employ.
David Bowie was a billionaire when he died.

It’s true that in the top 50 richest musicians, most of them were already rock gods before Napster. But they all are rock gods.

But then you have people like Swift, Robbie Williams, Dave Matthews and Dave Grohl, most of which were on the cusp. But Grohl for instance worked hard for more than a decade after Nirvana broke up, and I would be very surprised if a lot of his money didn’t end up coming from a combination of the Foo Fighters and royalties. Commentary on one of those net worth sites: the Foo Fighters “have consistently been one of the highest-grossing touring acts in the world for more than two decades.” So yeah.

But now every function that reads from stdin needs to pass around an offset of where to read from which is very unergonomical. It also isn't really pure since offset is now state that is changing whenever a function is called.

fn do_stuff(offset: int) -> (string, int) {
x = read_guess(offset)
y = read_name("what's your name: ", offset + len(x))
z = read_guess(offset+len(x)+len(y))
new_offset = offset+len(x)+len(y)+len(z)
return ("name is: {y}, guess is: {x}", new_offset)
}

Government is deciding how they want to allocate funding for home energy retrofits. If you are a grid operator, which plan would you want the government to support? Keep in mind that you will be negotiating with regulators to set rates which will correspond to a guaranteed rate of return given your CapEx.

Obviously you as a utility would pick the scenario which will end with you just spending more money, as that will allow you to justify higher rates to the regulator. Your rate of return would be the same, but your actual profit will be higher. Who actually bares that cost? The consumer. Option 1 above will lead to higher demand and higher peaks than option 2, so it is in the utilities’ interest to advocate for the government setting incentivizes for option 1, as it will allow them to negotiate higher rates, spend more capital, and make more profit.

The state/local governments have a responsibility to the constituents IMO to incentivize option 2 over option 1.
I’m surprised the stock isn’t doing worse than it is doing currently TBH.
Property taxes in many states are set according to budget, so your home’s value relative to other homes is important, but if all housing prices all fall or rise, the money collected is the same.

Homes are considered an investment because people want nice ones in locations that can only support so many (either via artificial or natural restriction). In turns out homes outside of those locations can get really cheap since finding buyers is hard.
Ultimate Objective Morality comes down to those who will violate others, and those who know outright that it is WRONG.

We make up these things called laws upon which we prop civilization. Cultures, fashions, and conventions do play a role in contemporary laws and base line local morality. A "righteous rule of law" is simply one that is principled upon Truth (for if it is not True it has no place in law.) One that serves to protect those unculpable (the innocent) from breach (violation) by will or neglect. Freak acts of chance among us are ideally forgivable, though even that is a culture.

We scoff the shaky foundations of Man's law, yet without some moralistic higher law we are doubly screwed.

But the discussion is whether or not Russia is bluffing, which is a decision that will be reflected in Western tactics. The discussion is not merely to come up with the scenarios that Russia is likely considering.

Possible scenarios are simplistic and obvious. Predicting future action requires consideration of motivation, willingness to be reckless, spite, religious eschatology that may serve as a driving force, the real possibility of domestic double agents, unknown high level domestic sociopaths, unknown variables, and in our case unknown classified information.

Implied in the discussion is what is being risked given any wrong conclusion. Which, for the sake of this discussion and perhaps in reality, should be assumed to be destruction.

My point is that it is stupid, that is too high risk, to the point of suspicious for powerful people to dismiss Russia's threat as unlikely.

With the caveat that the exception would be if unknowable classified information speaks to Russia being technologically incapable of being successful.

> Maybe I missed it, but it didn’t seem to me like the authors presented any reasoning about what makes this capability particular to transformers… especially on the relatively small HMMs, it’s not clear to me that we wouldn’t see the same behavior with some other model performing prediction, but maybe I missed that.

I don't believe they are claiming that?

There is no reason to think that that would be the case (Transformers are in general grossly overrated in terms of magic pixie dust), the fundamental theory here implies that any predictor achieving high performance is going to have to do this, and in the comments, people point out examples elsewhere like with RNNs where researchers have read off the beliefs from the hidden state and found the same thing: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/gTZ2SxesbHckJ3CkF/transforme...

I don’t believe so, at least not if it’s enabled-by-default.

Apple doesn’t rely on benefit of the doubt because they are very clear about how the privacy of new products work (say Touch and Face ID), and Microsoft is not. I mean just look at this very thread, it’s super unclear how it works and interacts with other windows feature (some of which are premium) like fde/bitlocker and whether there’s telemetry/training. That obviously contributes to the “harsh” response. As it should.

The Korean govt is fine with Korean car companies licensing battery tech from Chinese companies due to existing investments in the space (eg. Samsung has a minority stake in BYD), but Japan's METI has been pushing the Japanese ecosystem to build their own semi-domestic battery ecosystem that is independent of Li-ion batteries.

That's why Toyota and Idemetsu are rolling out sulfide Solid State Battery manufacturing in NC with production starting in 2026.

> You keep avoiding saying location tracking. Are you seriously talking about location tracking an adult in their 30s? Say it directly.

Yes, of course. I did not intend to be obscure.

> Are you saying this happens with knowledge or without? With consent or without? Are you saying parents are putting live location trackers on their 30 year old children's owned phones?

I’m saying that parents will probably keep location trackers on their kids’ phones, and never get out of the habit of installing them, regardless of how their child ages into adulthood. Show me a parent who had such a tracker installed in a child’s phone, but go out of their way to make an effort to uninstall it the day the child turns 18, and I will show you a rare parent indeed. With or without knowledge and/or consent? Of course without their child’s consent; the parents originally put the tracker in the child’s phone without consent, and so the habit will continue. They key word in all of this is habit; parents acquire habits about their kids, and will continue to follow these habits regardless. The same goes for knowledge; if the child originally was always told about the tracking, this will continue, but if the child was never informed, this will also continue.

Parents, like all people, are creatures of habit, and will not easily change their ways and opinions, even though time passes, things change, and children grow up.

> Why do you keep ignoring the actual point and saying abstract irrelevant things like 'parents want to keep track of their children'?

You are quoting something I did not write, and I can therefore not answer this question.

> Address the actual point and show some evidence.

If you think I am ignoring the point, please state what you would like the point to be, and I will comment on it as proper in this forum. Contrary to what you seem to believe, I am not trying to be obtuse.

Regarding evidence, I am not aware of any research about any of this.
Self-hosting using FTTH is many orders of magnitude more stable than home based internet used to be.

A lot of the description above can be run pretty easily with Proxmox, which itself is a web based gui to setup said redundancy (even can run it as hybrid cloud with failover to the major cloud providers).

This approach can greatly simplify and reduce dependency formation on one cloud service in particular.

There are huge transaction costs to buying and selling a home, renting could also be seen as a way to avoid those costs if you aren’t going to stay somewhere. But I rented for cheap in Beijing when housing to buy costs were super high, who wouldn’t rent a $1 million apartment for < $1000/month, buying in that market would have been dumb even without red tape to buy something.

This is a great list, and it's good to see a counterpoint to the autobashing that's trendy these days.

One additional point: autotools are bootstrappable without going all the way up to C++ (CMake, ninja) or Python (meson).

And yes, muon and samurai are written in C99, but as soon as I wanted to both support -fvisibility=hidden and unit tests in my project, I was forced to build both static and shared libraries. This forced me back onto libtool, and once I was there I figured I may as well stick with the good ol' autotools.
