I think the key is to figure out who is going to win and work for them, invest in them, or at least stay out of their way. I know easier said than done.

LLM capability scales with money, so deep pockets will win, that simplifies things a great deal.

Microsoft looks like a better place to work these days strategically. They were an early Facebook investor and, as evidenced by the Sam Altman incident, essentially own OpenAI. They have now shown a pattern of being early to see disruption and get their money and influence in. They are diversified and don't make big money on search, which seems like the obvious area of disruption for AI. I think the rise of LLM helps them more than any other company, but we'll see?

Sometimes the carbonated water is added and bottled by various distributors to be more specific.

> If you want to treat your social media as a public journal that is cool, but not likely to make you an influencer

I think the key trick is you need to be interesting. A public journal can be for some people but probably not most.

I'm interested in a public journal of someone in the top of their field, thinking deep thoughts and explaining how they see the world.

I'm not interested in a public journal that amounts to: today i bought groceries and binged netflix.

I think it makes sense to have swap be the smaller of 2x ram and 512 MB, unless you have specific needs.

On small memory systems, it really is useful to have 2x ram, because it can be pretty useful sometimes. On large memory systems, it's highly likely that your system is too far gone once it's used a significant amount of swap, so 512 MB seems like as good a place as any to stop. Swap used %, and swap in / out rates are a very good measure of system health, and if you have no swap, you lose out on those metrics. Ideally, for a small leak, you'll have enough time to get an alert about high swap use, and come in and inspect the situation before you start getting OOMs, but for a large leak, you want the system to fault quickly --- it doesn't do anybody any good to be up but deathly slow due to thrashing for a long time.
Monads being monoids isn't very interesting in a practical sense - e.g. just because you can associatively combine steps in a program isn't very interesting. (We do it all the time when we extract a subset of instructions as a procedure)

I'd say monoids are more interesting, mainly due to implications for massively parallel algorithms and caching and how finding operations that fit the laws let you reap massive benefits in both aspects.

I've yet to see something as practically interesting for monads. Perhaps monadic parsers or STM qualify. What would you say makes monads just as interesting in a practical sense?

Time-lapses are certainly one of the intended use-cases. I still need to add video-export features to the companion app though. Right now it only supports exporting images.

> Anyway to know when it’s about to write over itself in storage?

Currently it silently overwrites the oldest photos once the storage is filled, but I've been thinking it should have a setting to prevent that.

When the battery gets below 2%, the device enters "battery trap", where it stops capturing images and simply blinks the red LED every 5 seconds. Maybe there should be an optional setting to enter that mode when the storage is filled. Would that work for you?
Ah thx for the update, probably should have given you the benefit of the doubt on that one, sorry!

Deep Dive into Ownership in Mojo
Huh? I'm not big on police over-reach but to claim that the chain of responsibility for a crime ends at some arbitrary point is silly on its face. Should either side of a hitman-for-hire arrangement not be penalized for participating in a crime? Should we eliminate laws criminalizing murder because some people are wrongfully tried and convicted? Turning off a criminal's money laundering spigot is a deterrent against committing that crime.

I don't see how that's confined to a logical argument. Surely there must be data to back up this claim if it's so easily provable. How much stronger would the dollar be today? Source? Even a source for "countless small businesspeople being locked out of their bank accounts" would be interesting.

> Shipping pre-production test devices is a long-established practise that predates the influencer era by decades

The critics had brands and reputations. The side effect of having so many critics, now, is they've become commoditised. I know every influencer believes they have a brand. But for the most part they're generic (within a category) to the algorithms that decide whether they're surfaced or not.

/tmp on tmpfs is fine.

/var/tmp being cleaned on boot is probably fine despite contrary standards in the past.

But automatically deleting files - in either of those - while the system is running is going to break all sorts of things.

As a random example, `chromium --temp-profile` will have half the profile deleted (since some particular files aren't accessed frequently) while the browser is running. This looks designed to cause system-level UB.

Note that locks on directories are pretty rare; locks on a file within the directory are the de facto standard, on the assumption that only cooperating programs will access them.
There is definitely a long-term societal benefit to doing both kinds of work. Often work seen by only a few people (which might gather only a handful of citations, or none at all) inspires a later generation's breakthroughs at the frontier of human understanding. (For example yesterday there was a post about Hermann Grassmann and his pioneering work in linear algebra which got almost no positive feedback at the time but 150 years later is considered foundational for whole fields of study.) On the other hand making very popular material that helps a large number of people to slightly better understand old well-known ideas can still have huge benefit.
I've had Windows hang due (apparently) to OOM before now, most recently last week: already low on free memory due to other things, a runaway chrome tab chef through a huge pile of memory overnight. Come morning everything was at a crawl (task manager responded quickly but everything else took an age to register any event like a click or keypress. Bringing up chrome's task manager, sorting by RAM use, and navigating to the top of the list, to find the problem, took several minutes. Switching to that tab hung everything, even task manager. This was running in a VM so I could see from the host that the OS has hung: practically no CPU or IO use, what little there was was likely just "background noise" from hyper-v, also not even the simplest service accepted TCP connections nor would it respond to ping. Left it like that for tens of minutes to see no change, so resorted to a hard stop & start.

It happens, albeit quite rarely.
There's also systemd-tmpfiles for this exact purpose (well, it's a more general purpose create-a-directory-structure config system, but this is one of its usecases).
A little bit about HTTPS and TLS 1.2
I was curious about how TLS works in detail, so I wrote an article in which I discussed TLS 1.2 with the AES-CBC cipher.

I would appreciate any feedback.

> When they meet Saruman and Grima at Isengard, Théoden even tries to plead with Grima again.

I've only read the book twice and it was a long time ago I last read it but... The whole Saruman/Grima/Theoden thing is way different in the book. In the book by the time Saruman arrives at Saruman's tower, Saruman had escaped (I think by tricking one of the ent, smooth talking it).

Saruman then goes to attack the shire. It's Grima who kills Saruman, but in the Shire.

I don't think Theoden tries to plead with Grima? That's a Peter Jackson / LoTR-the-movie invention no!?

I don't remember enough of the book but the whole "Theoden pleads with Grima / Saruman slaps Grima / Grima stabs Saruman in front of Theoden" is definitely not happening like that in the book.

It's maybe even the biggest difference between the book and the movie (it kinda changes the whole timeline).
Nice. I've landed on a very similar regime for myself that I've been calling Near-zero Inbox. Originally it was Inbox-Zero-by-EOW, with the goal of having my inbox empty by the end of the workday on Friday, I always end up with one or two items that I need to leave for action on Monday.

One technique that has gotten traction in my organization is the notion of "email bankruptcy" and "slack bankruptcy". I.e. if you find your email or slack debt getting too big to handle, you simply declare bankruptcy, archive everything (or everything older than a day or two), and start fresh. If you are very far behind, the downsides of doing this seem to be no worse than the alternatives.

When I shifted from IC engineering work to management I found that I gradually became overwhelmed with email and other comms from a lot of people who now either wanted my opinion or felt I needed to be informed about a lot of things I previously wouldn't have been involved in. Oddly, but maybe not surprisingly, I found that there was positive correlation between the size of my email backlog and how crowded my calendar was, and that the causality seemed to operate in a feedback loop. If I had too many meetings it got harder to keep up with email, and if I didn't answer emails, I got invited to more meetings. Practicing near-zero inbox actually gave me more time, instead of less.

There was this weird "meme" going around a few months ago about Dreamworks vs Disney that lined up extraordinarily hard with the release of "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" movie. (Release to theaters, I should say)

I can't say that I'm a distinguished memer, but I've consumed my fair number of memes. But a lot of this "meme" was about hating on Disney + talking about how Dreamworks movies were better.

--------

On the one hand: "memes" that sprung up organically about say, Shrek, have this raunchy quality to them that likely is toxic to advertising partners. (Gay sex, sex jokes, implied rape, etc. etc.). Meme culture is famously toxic, especially as it comes out of 4chan. So in a sense, the "raunchiness" is the proof that its likely not corporate.

But this "Teenage Kraken" meme was ... "tame" so to speak? A lot of "The Little Mermaid" hate, but nothing that matched my familiar memeing patterns. Sure, people hate on "The Little Mermaid" and had a ton of memes making fun of that movie, but... to see some memes pivot into what turned into a "Teenage Kraken" advertisement was so weird and offputting to me.

So I've always wondered if "Teenage Kraken vs Ariel" memes were Dreamworks guerilla marketing. Just me personally. Especially because "Teenage Kraken" wasn't a very popular movie, so its such a strange subject to "meme". Memes usually work the opposite way: the movie comes out and then months or years later, the memes take hold.

The timing was all wrong. The meme wasn't as raunchy or mean as normal memes. It lined up with (attempted) corporate profits to advertise a movie that was soon to be released in theaters. It was a relatively unpopular movie in the great scheme of things. Etc. etc. etc.
I tried the quadratic equation, which is infamous for its loss of precision in numerical computations. The best output was merely a rewrite of the original equation using FMA (I'm not sure if I was using the tool correctly, perhaps it could find more creative solutions given the right inputs). But at least it also found the standard approximation -c/b & -b/a, applicable when the real roots are far from each other (which is the case for many practical problems) [0].

My point is that a claim cannot be made that categorically LC tests are generally a test on memorization. It appears your point does not disprove that. You mention exceptions, that in fact proves the general rule is true (I.e your claim
isn’t of the form: most leet code questions of almost any level cannot answered without spending 45 mins and requiring specialized domain knowledge as a prerequisite). You cannot argue against general rule by pointing out specialized exceptions. Cats generally have 4 legs as a rule. Yes exceptional conditions exists where they don’t have 4 legs, but the generally rule holds true. To argue against, your point must take the form: “as a rule, most cats do not have 4 legs.” Do you understand?

> he spent his whole life studying pre-modern societies

Tolkien was not a historian, but a philologist — professionally, he was a scholar of comparative and historical linguistics — and I think it's a stretch to say that he "studied pre-modern societies" outside the context of their languages.

The Lord of the Rings is essentially a re-imagining of pre-historic Britain, and the setting isn't so much informed by history as by mythology. LotR isn't "medieval", which is probably one of the greatest misunderstandings about the book, and one that lead to an unfortunate excess of faux-medieval sword-and-sorcery fantasy literature.

I tell my doctor this and ask for a referral to GI or allergy to verify. Nope. He doesn’t believe it’s a chicken allergy.
