I also need elaboration on this. I presumed calling lua from c can be used to implement user-defined callbacks. Launching a thread for lua + locking seems even slower?
I don't have a PC. I have a mac. If I wanted to do serious game development, I would be forced to buy a PC, if for no other reason than testing.

Yeah, it's only for nvim or for your own lua projects.

That is CS though; I’m not sure that would work with business advice, where problems can be less tangible or there can be no single or verifiable solution (nor library/algorithm). Unless this approach also helps in the context of business advice?
Your problem is you're using the Internet wrong. You shouldn't take anything on it seriously.

It's the fun Dionysian night to the boring Apollonian day of real life.
'The point of the article is that the big business model is "continued growth", which depends on constantly increasing sales, which means products necessarily get shittier so that they must be replaced more frequently.' - Sorry to interject here, but this is extremely wrong and nowhere did I find this take-away from the posted article. There are massive businesses that do sell extremely high-quality products - in fact, Japan went through a transition where their businesses went from producing absolute junk (i.e. just like the stuff we import from China today) to producing extremely high quality products (see Juran, Crosby, and cost of quality measures etc...). The key point of the article is that consumers today choose low-priced products since the market gives it to them. If you allow a person to buy a $800 sofa which looks great on the outside and is made in China albeit with extremely low quality materials vs. a sofa which looks almost exactly the same but is priced at $1500 but is of much higher quality - most consumers will obviously choose the $800 dollar sofa vs the $1500 since that's how the free-market functions. Is this rational though?

Well - the consumer will need to buy 4 of the $800 dollar sofas just from having to replace them throughout a 20 year period vs. having the ability to buy one (the $1500) one but that's not obvious to the consumer and it's not clear how to even make this type of judgment. Which sofa really costs the most to you given the information I just provided? The high-quality $1500 one or the $800 dollar one? To a rational person having all of the above information - the more costly one is cheaper - but to an average consumer not having this information the clearly cheaply made product is the better choice. People also are prone to more short-term thinking in many societies which also doesn't help things but the takeaway in general which you posted there is very wrong: mass production and scale usually result in higher-quality products not lower quality ones.
Look up Cambridge Analytics and the Trump campaign in 2016.

Do you even know what that means? I didn't say it isn't OKR if it is done badly, your response makes no sense.

In Agile it makes sense since they say if it doesn't work it isn't Agile, but I never said that badly done OKRs aren't OKRs.
Ok thanks, that's good to know. I guess porting the shader code wouldn't be too bad..
I think every lua linter warns about that. So does the Lua LSP, no annotations needed.
Your regulatory approach seems well researched. Nice job on that! Most people underestimate how much time and effort it takes to get a medical device certified. Launching as a non-medical device first, getting some feel for PMF and then expanding the claims is the smart way to go.
That’s not what I’m talking about. In my state, experienced specialists make millions working at hospitals in rural areas. Think between three and five times what they’d make doing the same work in a city.

Perhaps a bit of a digression…
Thank you for sharing the link. I got curious and clicked on one. They want programming skills and pay “up to $30/h”.
Additionally, you could hire other people to read them, dividing the task into whatever manageable chunks or even having multiple people read the same parts for agreement.

In the days before good software transcription I saved a ton of time I grad school by splitting up interviews and using mechanical Turk or up work ( can’t remember which one, to transcribe 1 minute snippets, and then took another pass)
> that's close to 1 neutron per second.

Nicely done! It gets complicated, well beyond my current understanding. However, U238's first decay product is Thorium234, which has a half life of 24 days. Thorium234 in turn decays into Proactinium, which has a half life of 1.17 minutes. There are 16 more decays until finally arriving at Pb206 (lead), which is stable.

These decays must give room for lots more neutrons to emerge.
The way innovators erode a legacy company’s advantage is by attacking an area they aren’t worrying about. Usually, that’s cost (“Japanese cars”, x86 supercomputers), but sometimes it’s speed, power, or convenience (Amazon.com in the 90s). Car companies have had plenty of warning about cheap EVs, but the only relatively cheap ones I know about are the (discontinued) Chevy Volt, the base Tesla Model 3, and the Volvo EX30 that just came out (surprise! it’s Chinese).
I remember doing this along with a co-worker, I think my Duron was $60 or $80? Saved me a ton of money vs a P3 and board.

Might have been long enough to have found the parts on Pricwatch.com?
What do you think is the most effective breathing exercise to increase energy and focus? e.g. an exercise you might do before starting to write code.

I like 6 seconds in thru the nose, 2 seconds out thru the mouth (forcefully) for about 90 seconds, but would love to hear your thoughts!
It is cloudflare that blocked us, we scrape using a regular chrome instance (with the latest user-agent), but cloudflare are sometimes very aggressive in their blocking.
I'm busy adding a proxy option to handle these cases automatically, and some way to whitelist our scraper.
There is still anti-aliasing its just with so much periodic wireframe you still see edges and patterns.

Also I'd be interested in which specific metric you speak about when talking about humans being better off and which studies you are refering too. You'll reckon that if you don't even trust a widespread scientific consesus, I'll have a hard time trusting a random person on the interwebs.
I haven't really had the life to afford taking anything less than serious.

Wasting time like this is all rather new to me. I don't mean to turn this into therapy, but while we're being honest.

I spent some time in a managed apartment in singapore. Public transport was terrible from the suburbs, took about 1h30 to do a 7 mile commute to my office. I ended up taking taxis every day, which were generally ok out of town, but getting one in the morning was always a bit of a risk - could take 5 minutes one day but 30 the next.
Very much so. Think Skinner boxes and operant conditioning.

It's remarkable that in 2017 advertisers strong-armed Google into the Adpocalypse on YouTube, fearing that their brand would be associated with some non-specific bad vibes - for example, a Geico ad in the middle of an educational video about the rise of Hitler was considered a big no-no.

...Meanwhile they continued serving ads on Russia Today's propaganda websites for another half-decade, directly funding the Russian government's disinformation campaign.
Yes, every chemical reaction in a living system is part of metabolism, but in common speech when we talk about increasing metabolism we are specifically talking about increasing the metabolic rate- e.g. calories burned to generate ATP per an amount of biomass. What is happening in that paper is the opposite of a "metabolic increase" in that context. You are trying to correct people by citing a paper that supports what they were saying, and not what you are saying.

I am an academic PI whose lab studies metabolism... however I use common speech when talking online so people know what I mean, I would only use more specific terminology when talking with other metabolism researchers. In many cases the common terms and academic jargon are strictly at odds, but even a researcher wouldn't say "increases metabolism" when talking about fasting adaptations, they would talk about increased metabolic flux through specific pathways and/or changes in metabolite concentrations.

The 58 hours is another example of the same- it isn't long enough to observe many of the adaptations to fasting, especially the pronounced fall in T3 and resulting decrease in metabolic rate. The fact that 58 hours would be called "prolonged" in a journal article is not relevant to the point I was making.
I used to feel similar about riding a motorcycle.

Of course it's not the same as it's a machine, not a living animal your are communicating with.

But so much it feels like it becomes an extension of your body and you just move by pure thought.

Similar to using a game controller I guess but more of a whole body experience.

As someone who lives in Texas, the push alerts for dangerous weather has been very helpful. Not just tornadoes, but violent storms with damaging winds or hail also happen 10-20 times per year. As previously said, these storms are very localized and often materialize with only 10-30 minutes of notice. That notice can be used to relocate everyone to a safe place away from windows, in the case of a tornado warning, or protect outside pets/livestock, vehicles, etc in the case of a violent storm.
It has nothing to do with this law.
Nowhere near as extreme but I broke my leg and there was a weird sensation if I touched my leg near the break, my toes would tingle even though they were quite a ways away. Years later, it no longer does that and feels normal in that area.
The last exchange with the alleged hacker is a bit sus:

researcher:

> [snowflake] should have bought protection from Hudson Rock
> could have saved them from this one

hacker:

> yes I agree
> it would have helped

Smells like a guerilla advertisement; or a hit piece to disparage competitors. Or maybe it was because some in-house legal team pulled it back.

For now, I am getting bearish signals on SNOW. The initial reports of them blaming it on customers not enabling multi factor authentication is a way to deflect blame until they can figure out a way to deal with pending dump on their stock.

Honestly, if this exchange with the hacker is legit. The $20M the hacker extorted the company for is going to be peanuts compared to the reputation loss and stock dump.

My own answer to this question last year came in the form of https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/til, which is just a messy list of Markdown files. The lowest-effort thing I could think of.

Yeah I've been running Windows and Linux for years (I only use MacOS if my job makes me and pays for the machine), and I just spent the weekend setting up Linux on my former Windows machine. There really isn't much of a reason to run Windows anymore unless you have very specific software needs.

I was forced to switch this last year. I decided to upgrade my 10 year old motherboard, and Windows refused to boot with the new one despite nothing else changing. I absolutely refuse to pay good money to "upgrade" to a worse version of Windows, so Linux it is.

Mostly it's been a good experience. I can still open all my old documents, and you can't even tell the difference when browsing. There are some Windows only apps that I relied on, including a couple I helped develop - I haven't figured out how to deal with the loss of those yet.
It is unlikely that all people will die in the nuclear war.

Anyway, it makes no sense to put down a discussion on privacy or other human disagreements as trivial just because there is a big bomb that can wipe us out. This risk is present for many decades, and we are not able to affect it in a meaningful way. Nukes are here to stay, and eventually will be used. The important thing is to use your time until you die.
Thanks so much. Yes a blog or newsletter is a good idea..

We have some results for improved ML breath detection which could be quantitative (real-world values for flow & volume). I want it to go through peer review ideally and then would try to publicise the results.
The problem is that sofas haven’t come down significantly in price. These shittier products aren’t actually much cheaper than, for example, a custom made sofa. I know this because I just bought a custom made sofa.

But the quality is incomparable.
Just speaking for myself here (maybe I'm a sociopath); I would be "friends" with my coworkers because it was the expected decorum. In-office I don't want to be anyone's friend; I want to get stuff done. I appear friendly in the office because it is the expectation and much easier than trying to isolate myself. Remotely, the tables are turned; it's trivial to isolate myself, and I have no expectations of fraternizing with my coworkers.

If you are so lonely that your coworkers are your only meaningful support network, that's a sign you need more friends.
The root for this is a comment that urges to boycott some persons startup because they express that they were thankful for the advice they get from LLMs (a PhD in physics, that is).

Yes, I find that commentary extremely inappropriate. And yes, I am defending my stance in the sub-threads.

But tell me: you say that my critique of a reductionist categorical view on the use of LLMs (it is merely stack overflow...) is catagorical itself? Can you please elaborate on that.
definitely overhyped, but not useless. Consider one of your examples, Elastic. It's often employed in situations where the db could handle what it's doing just fine, but it survives, Largely because of optimizations it is free to make knowing it is targeted at a narrow set of tasks.
I’m not doubting that you have found it helpful. I just wish people would be more judicious than making up numbers like “10x”. Everything can’t be “10x”.

Interesting. In the USA at least MMS is zero cost on every plan I’m aware of, and the user experience of Signal is pretty much the same as MMS on iOS. Usually the rest of the world is ahead of North America on these sorts of things, so I thought the era of being charged for a SMS/MMS was behind us.
Both can be true. The design is clearly VMS influenced, but that doesn’t mean they took code from VMS, which DEC clearly would have had a say about. I think Mark’s point in the slide is to emphasize they didn’t take code from older versions of Windows.

These articles by failed millennials (usually journalists) projecting their situations onto the rest of us are quite tiring.

According to multiple sources, over half of millenials own homes at this point. Yes they're about 10% behind Baby Boomers and 5% behind Gen X when they were the same age.

According to the Education Data Initiative, as of 2023 only 22% of adults in their 40s had any amount of student loan debt.

Who edified the journalists to be the spokespeople of how our generation is doing? Millenials that aren't doing well in life are becoming an increasingly small minority as our generation ages. Sorry that you picked a lower-paying career and chose to live in an expensive, happening city I guess?

As a younger millenial I've run out of sympathy for my peers 10 years older who are crying about being single, still renting, etc.
Common Lisp allows one to use arrays or other structures, and can even be used to inline assembly. So despite lists being a major part of the ecosystem and code representation itself, they are not mandatory for implementing an algorithm, or necessarily a performance drawback to using lisp. By the same token, it's easy for people to accidentally use lists and pointers to implement algorithms just as inefficiently in other languages - Python comes to mind. A standard approach in Python is to lean on external libraries for high performance computation, and this can be done just the same way in Lisp - but Lisp can also be used directly to write efficient low level algorithms by making a conscious effort not to use the list- and pointer-based functions to do so.
> The computer is crunching numbers and probabilities of things and giving its best guess based on that, in both cases. If it's appropriate for one, it should be for the other.

Google maps isn't choosing a nearest ice cream store based on probability, it's using an algorithm designed for this purpose.

People are already complaining about traffic! Drivers taking I70 between Denver and Loveland on weekends aren't doing so because of their love of the road. Why would we want to increase the number of people experiencing traffic? To assume my prior hyperbolic tone: Widening roads is punishing people for driving!

I'd argue the true goal of the exercise is to increase the capacity of the transit system, and that includes the proposal to not widen the roads. This isn't being done to punish drivers, regardless of how someguydave wants to frame it. The money (to the tune of a cool billion dollars) is being reinvested elsewhere in the network with the intent of increasing the number of people the city can move. The naive proposal of widening roads does work! It increases capacity, but it also makes everybody's experience worse via traffic and pollution. Let's see if there's something better!
I don't mind at all. Thanks for sharing, it looks like a very interesting read!
The AI Designer
I just don’t get it. Who the hell is buying all this advertised crap? Everybody knows that money spent on advertisement is money not spent on R&D and improving the product, right?

It makes no sense. How is so much of our economy based on shuffling around focus wasting garbage? Some of the biggest companies in the world produce nothing but distractions. We’ve got this absurdly productive system, the greatest well of human ability in history to draw from, and we’re squandering it on convoluted ad network games.

I think this is our generation’s “let’s put lead and asbestos in everything.”
On the contrary, the next generation could be the first to experience sustainable prosperity.

Most HOAs are in low cost and high density multi-family housing: condos, townhouses, etc. In those cases many of the people living there are renters, but subject to following the rules through their landlords.

When you have an HOA with regular single family homes, it generally has to have been setup by the contractor, who build the entire planned community. These mass produced planned communities are also typically cheaper and lower value than individual one-off single family homes, as they are built to a price point for a profit.
What is this exactly? On one hand you're talking about anxiety and sleep, and in that aspect this looks like just a spin on guided meditation, unless you have studies that show that weak breathing muscles are an issue in this case. On the other hand you're talking about an incentive spirometer, which is a medical device. An app isn't a medical device, and I doubt you can give any guarantees it'll work. Besides that, if I needed treatment, I'd expect a licensed professional to give me exercises, and since the physical device is like 10$, I don't see how your 15$ subscription is competitive. Especially that breathing exercises can worsen some medical conditions.
You think they aren't?
