Good catch.

Those aren't weasel words, they're the honest truth.

In fact if you want weasel words, follow Musk (although that's more a rabid weasel ... or perhaps a hyena).

If Twitter's decline is anything to go by, one might assume that Tesla succeeded despite Musk ... just a right product at the right time ... and he got lucky.
So you're backing away from your original stance of:

"I don't think the EU says anything about how much texts should cost."

Into a weaker form of "The EU only limits surcharges when roaming to other EU countries.". This was my only comment because your first position is factually incorrect, there are situations in which the EU defines how much texts can cost.

Llama.cpp can run on CPU, on GPU, or in mixed mode (some layers run on CPU and some on GPU if you don't have enough VRAM).
You have probably hit that big board because you are driving an extension of your living room and are thus totally incentivised by dangers and not following legal and recommended security distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.

Also dangers are easier to avoid on a bike provided you are going at reasonnable speed because your own vehicle is smaller. The biggest danger is target fixation but that is something riders need to train against.

Obviously training both of riders and drivers vary a lot between countries and that is where lie most of the problem as well as considering that driving/riding is a right and not a privilege accorded to people serious enough to operate vehicles safely. I find it completely insane that some countries like the USA allows kids to drive with barely any training. IMHO before 24-25 year old, there are very few adults that are mature enough to drive safely. I also fThat is probably ind insane that a country allow people to buy, rent and drive a vehicle after more than 2 DUI convictions. That should lead to a lifetime ban.

That might be the next step. Banning encryption. We live in a strange world right now.
How do I check what joins a sofa has? Companies won’t tell me, and don’t have to tell me. I can’t start tearing apart sofas in the showroom.

I’d love a world where companies had to simply, and truthfully, explain how their products were built, maybe even do some standard testing and tell me how long it’s likely to last.

I've been WFH-ing for a long time now and am usually the person being approached for advice and mentoring. I never found the efficiency of the process to be lacking or as you describe "order of magnitude" worse remotely vs F2F.

As I'm always open to learning new things and changing my opinion, could you please elaborate on how the direct contact makes mentoring so much better?
Thanks for noticing pgzx! We are working on a project building on top of it and going into the direction hinted by this blog post.

I agree that the separation of storage and compute complements this nicely. In fact, we take advantage of it in the Xata platform which uses Aurora.
Thanks. I missed the "links" in that list while I was wondering why "images" and "photos" are included together in that list.
> The reactor itself, the nuclear core, is not a complicated mechanical contraption. The core has no moving parts or complex mechanisms. It's just an arrangement of special materials, that permits nuclear reactions to occur. There are moving parts to transfer the heat and control the reactions, but it's basically a pile of bricks.

I could say roughly the same thing about a smartphone.
> OK, so it can appreciate with inflation. So it doesn't go up or down, it just stays the same.

And how would you implement that?

So basically there needs to be a government agency which tracks the inflation adjusted price of your home. Ok that's easy. But this agency now also must have the power to prohibit you from selling your home for any price other than their official inflation-adjusted price. If they don't have this power, then someone could offer you more for your home and thus you made a profit, and your goal fails.

Would you expect to have voter support for such a price fixing scheme from any side of the aisle? Would you even want to live in such a world?

I keep asking because often these threads go into something like "Oh you just stop making homes an investment and problem solved.", but that word "just" is moving some pretty big mountains there. If you drill down on what that really might mean, it never comes out to something realistic to implement.

> So now demand has gone WAAAAY down.

Demand does not go down. Your scheme just favors owners living in their home as opposed to corporations buying them to rent them out (which I fully and enthusiastically support!). But actual number of homes and actual number of families wanting to live in them didn't change, so demand didn't change.

You're right. But apparently every time this topic comes up we cry that this is abuse of our freedom.

Tech is not good or bad but it does have unintended consequences and open new ways for abuse. This is tough to swallow for us who work in tech but is obvious to everyone else. If we stay in denial and do not volunteer to help use tech smartly to compensate for bad side effects, they will vote in some dumb law and some bad guys will exploit it for surveillance later.

Last time I heard (which was indeed a long time ago, so maybe things have changed), if you wanted citizenship, then your village had to take a vote, so you were well-advised to join the volunteer fire department and that sort of thing, if you wanted citizenship.

Now, with an eye toward the social dynamics of village life, I've always found the notion quite alienating to try to immigrate in a country where petty grievances held against me by my fellow villagers might block my path towards naturalization.

The picture is probably slightly different in more urbanized places, but, in those, it probably boils down more to a question of money.

I'm not sure what to make of your "a quarter are immigrant" statistic. Do you mean they live there, without being citizens? Is that number high precisely because the path to naturalization is so difficult? The number of non-citizen permanent residents, for example, is also extremely high in certain rich Arab countries (like the UAE), but they are effectively an underclass of indentured servants. So "immigration-friendly" is not what that kind of a statistic is saying at all.

The ChatControl2.0 proposal was put forth by Ylva Johansson who is from the left in Sweden. She literally says "But think of the children" in every interview she made after this. There has been many accusations of corruption, for example the council was in contact with the AI companies that stand to gain from getting this in law.

I don't like mass-surveillance or "dragnets" which are actually considered unconstitutional in the US (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragnet_(policing) ), where you make an extraordinary amount of people suspects in order to catch a single suspect.

In medicine there is a number called NNT (Number Needed to Treat) which is a really good comparision to this. It's how many you have to treat with a medicine or procedure in order to help one patient. If that number goes up too large it's a bad sign, like if you would have to feed 1 million people a pill every day to avoid 1 heart attack per year.

Here you have mass surveillance and an incredible breach of privacy of 500M citizens, in order to catch how many pedos? If they would even be caught by this at all to start with.
It's not Denmark-specific. Hollowing out the middle has happened across every product and service class everywhere in the west. It's a broad problem, in no way limited to sofas.
Your argument makes as much sense as banning knives because they are sometimes misused to attack people. What about alcohol? Some people drink and drive, we should ban alcohol too!
A significant portion of the cost is labour, so if you translate that into a local non-US cost does it still seem absurd? I may have misunderstood your point, but I don't think it is a good argument for why running a business fixing things using local labour should be a fantasy.

Aside from that, in my view a world where a sofa costs less than one weeks wages is the absurd and unsustainable one. We've adopted an attitude of being incredibly entitled to cheap tat and that needs to stop.

> I noticed I would just... move on

That's kinda what happened to me and Reddit. After all the drama with the API (which I never used, btw) I decided to delete my Reddit account of 10 years. Something I never thought I would do, as I spent a significant amount of my internet time on it.

I still go to Reddit from time to time just to browse, and still use it a lot to get viewpoints on specific topics (via Google site: ), but I never partake in discussion any longer. And I don't miss it at all. I still have the urge to punch someone to the face if they share factually wrong information, but I'm glad I have no account to write a comment any longer.

It's truly weird how fast important things can become unimportant.
The capitalist part is that the new options aren’t even cheaper anymore, but the manufacturer has cheapened out on material quality “because it earns more money”.

Pretty sure megacorps still have their near-infinite databases around, in walled garden as always, but that's another topic. Censored contents are almost certainly soft-deleted.

You've linked to a query generator for a custom programming language and a 1 hour video about LLM tools. The cynic in me feels like the former could probably be done by chatgpt off the shelf.

But those do not seem to be real world business cases.

It's very much an information problem. One needs a company that can go do all the research and tell their readers what stuff is well made and good quality.

Things like Consumer Reports and Which are supposed to full this niche but they only assess big brands (and are probably under used by people).
> Only the market, where consumers put their hard-earned dollars at work, can tell us how many brands of deodorant are needed.

Not even 'the market' can do this. Unless you mean it in some sort of tautological sense - e.g. only the market can tell us how many brands of deodorant the market can bear.
True, it's not something you would sit down and read through. Subscribing and passively consuming will filter knowledge in over time though. I keep my copy of the physical book in my bathroom :p

> Google is the air of a teeming metropolis in a developing country. Every breath is polluted with foreign substances that someone else out there. Your capacity suffers as each action is taxed by the aerosolized tar.

Is it though? To the extent that I need to pay for an alternative? I struggle to recall when I ever searched for something and went down to the second half of my screen. I do agree searching using the Google app on an Android phone is crazy, but who would subject themselves to that? On a browser with a proper ad blocker, I don't see how it is that horrible.

Do you have an example of a search where Google gives such an odious result, but another engine's is excellent?
That leaves a market gap and then a better company can fill it, unlike centralized economies. Is that happening? I would say yes, at least in some cases. High-quality, direct-to-consumer brands are great. I rely on purchasing guides for many of my buys and those point me to brands whose primary attribute is quality (or cost effectiveness) instead of marketing or historic adoption. That's great for me and great for the company!

But many people haven't adapted to ecommerce like that. I think that will change as people learn to have more suspicion and place more of their trust in neutral third parties (historically how you made purchases when everything was local and your community gossiped about which places were good and bad). Yeah, there will be issues when those third parties turn out not to be trustworthy (like Yelp), but I think overall the ability to make well-informed purchasing decisions has never been higher. People are just slow to change their habits for this new world.
You can recognize particleboard, can’t you? That’s low quality. Cardboard covered with wood veneer is another trick, but you can recognize that by its unnatural lightness. Low quality again. Then look at the joints between pieces. If the wood is shaped so that the pieces fit into each other, then that is high quality. If they are joined by screws, metal plates, or glue, then that is low quality (or medium, in some cases).

It’s not really that hard, although of course with a couch the upholstery can hide a lot of sins.
If you repeatedly contact management with the same proposal you risk coming across as dissatisfied in the organisation and sometimes there's very little tolerance for this, might be because it's just a tyrannical place, but could also reflect the type of business and customers.
Cool stuff! A suggestion: Avoid the term "dead code elimination". Yes, it is an established term, but it is established as a term for two distinct optimizations.

One form of "dead code" is code that can never be executed:

if (false) {
someDeadCode; // "dead"
}

The other meaning is code that can be executed but computes a value that can never be used:

x = someValue;
y = someOtherValue; // "dead"
return x;

I advise my students to use the terms "unreachable code" and "unused code", respectively.
Speaking of productionalizing and economies of scale... I sometimes imagine an especially enlightened* medieval king would subsidize certain operations for peasants, just to improve the state of the art for whenever he himself might need it.

Basically, the issue of wages is not my problem, so this whole discussion becomes absurd. Do I want to leave compensation for the worker? Does he deserve an extra out of my pocket?

CP is a pretext to grab power, the same way terrorism was 20 years ago. If a government actually cared, they would start dismantling the catholic church.

And this is why I stick with Pale Moon. The desktop UX reached maturity years ago, Pale Moon in the spirit of pre 2011 Firefox (which introduced version 4 with many of the controversial Chrome imitating changes beginning from then) offers a powerful and fully customizable browser out of the box with no telemetry or third party bullshit needing 'hardening' tweaks to get rid of.
You get the separate search bar, tabs below addressbar and other features that can be changed to your liking directly from the preferences without having to go near about:config.

And goes without saying, full support for powerful XUL extensions and full themes that actually extend the browser's functionality and change its appearance the way it used to be on Firefox back in the day.

All the panels I've encountered in Georgia have had plenty of grip when wet. I wonder what the difference is. Maybe it's because we get more rain and less slippery oil and goop is able to accumulate. I've heard that's part of why drivers in southern California have so much trouble with rain.
