> when someone travels to another planet

I think you mean solar system. While nobody has traveled to Mars, it is reasonable to suggest that is only because we haven't tried hard enough yet. There are problems in the way, but they seem like engineering things that we will figure out if we try. It is debatable if we can make a self supporting colony on Mars, but it getting there seems perfectly possible in reach. Venus is harder (getting there is easier, but reaching the surface is questionable), but we could probably do it.

Getting just the farthest planet in our solar system though is getting close to a lifetime. The nearest star to earth is 4 light years away, we have no hope of reaching it in a lifetime with any technology we know works (there are nuclear options that seem promising but we don't know if they work)

The milky way is 100k lightyears. Not possible to cross without FTL.

No, in this example the person sold equity in order to get the 500K. They can't use the equity as collateral for the loan because they dont own it anymore
That's not the point, though. This is a serious cautionary tale about how factual journalism gets transformed into clickbait slop by third-party sites, at industrial scale; consider this a dress rehearsal for the 11/2024 US election. Since the sites don't attribute their sources, you can't easily find out whether the claims are true (they aren't), or disprove them.
The original nyt article says:

"Alfredo Marubo, leader of a Marubo association of villages, has emerged as the tribe’s most vocal critic of the internet.
...

He is most unsettled by the pornography. He said young men were sharing explicit videos in group chats, a stunning development for a culture that frowns on kissing in public. "

So the young men am seem pretty interested in sex acts. So yeah, maybe not interested in nudity.

I wonder if they like lingerie videos?
I understand in this case the subfloor is unrestrained and unregulated capitalism.
Yes, but I'll use it a lot more when 2.0 comes out, so I can see my keyboard in environments, which is my biggest complaint.

Mostly it's the best cinema screen I've ever viewed in my life. "Avatar 2", in 3D and at 48fps, is an absolutely stunning viewing experience. I wish high-framerate movies were more common. They look incredible.
I'm not an expert on the theory, but OCaml has a very fast compiler and while it is (almost) capable of fully reconstructing the types from a program with no annotations, it doesn't have to deal with ad-hoc polymorphism and takes some shortcuts like weak polymorphism when it gets too hard: https://www.ocaml.org/manual/5.2/polymorphism.html
> "It's a catch 22 with ML though. What you wrote is completely true however with ML you cannot say "We will get to 98% precision and 92% recall by Q4"."

This applies also to ML - it applies to all tech projects, though yeah, it's harder in ML. But not figuring out the intermediate products is not an option though - your stuff will get killed prematurely if you don't.

The trick with ML is not to promise "98% precision and 92% recall by Q4", it's to figure out what kind of product is shippable with lower precision and recall. Or perhaps a stepping-stone model that allows some simpler use case, but gives you progress towards the greater goal.

It's always case-specific, but as a ML team you do need to figure out what your intermediate checkpoints are. You need to demonstrate not only progress, but that your progress is contributing to the company's goals.
Having a capitalist structure inside a company is neither mandatory nor common.
I wonder if they'll make another release like this. They really seemed to struggle to get SD3 out.

I hope @sewen will expand on this but from the blog post he wrote to announce Restate to the world back in August '23:

> Stateful Functions (in Apache Flink): Our thoughts started a while back, and our early experiments created StateFun. These thoughts and ideas then grew to be much much more now, resulting in Restate. Of course, you can still recognize some of the StateFun roots in Restate.

Yeah, disposable plastics for instance. Thats why I qualified it, because burning them is dumb, throwing them away is just as dumb, especially when people don't throw them away properly and they end up in the ocean.
With F1 TV does that mean you can just place different streams and screens anywhere? That does sound quite neat in principle.

Hell if you had a feed for car positions one could make a virtual model of the track and watch it top down.
I use a swift toolchain with JetBrains' CLion (for CLIs) and it's pretty good and quite refreshing when compared to Xcode.
I'm an LP in both Calm and the fund, SureSwift, that's suing them, so I suspect I know as much as anyone external. Weirdly, the only information I've been able to glean is from Calm, but I did participate in the events personally that are part of the litigation.

The other fund, SureSwift, had some drama (founding GP left, replaced with a hired CEO who seems entirely competent), and SureSwift shortly after sued Calm and the former GP. I never got a good picture what happened internally, but there certainly was a falling out.

Speaking personally, the lawsuit seems like a giant waste of time and I haven't heard anything that makes me think Calm actually did anything wrong. I've asked, and got very confusing empty responses from SureSwift. I wish I knew more, since I love this space (calm companies, micro PE, etc) and am personally invested on both sides.
Hey! I managed to get a POC running on Cloudflare workers, I had to make some small changes to the SDK eg to remove the http2 import, convert the Cloudflare request type into the Lambda request type, and add some methods to the Buffer type. I suspect similar things would be needed on Deno platforms. We have it on our todo list (scheduled within weeks not months) to make it possible to import a version of the library that just works out of the box on these platforms. I think if we had someone with a use case asking for it, we would happily build that even sooner - maybe come chat in our discord? https://discord.gg/skW3AZ6uGd

Once http2 stuff is removed, there's nothing particularly odd that our library does that shouldn't work in all platforms, but I'm sure there will be some papercuts until we are actively testing against these targets
Returned in within the first month. Couldn’t use it for work because of the shared Apple ID requirements. Hand tracking was too laggy for games. That left movies/tv as the only winning feature, and I prefer to watch socially. Was pretty bummed tbh, I thought it would be much cooler.

Edit: there was something really cool actually, that I think doesn’t get talked about enough. Pooping on Yosemite. Peak futurism.
Of course, watching action movies is simply not the same without it.
The Marubo people are not addicted to pornography. There was no hint of this in the forest and there was no suggestion of it in The New York Times’s article.

the article mentioned a complaint from one Marubo leader [about some porn in chats]

sites that distorted this detail are news aggregators

By now, these sorts of sites and misleading headlines are just another part of the internet economy. To an informed internet user, their tactics are familiar.

For the Marubo, however, the experience was bewildering and infuriating.
Between now and 2030 there will be a lot of energy generation coming online. Hundreds of GW basically. The vast majority of that is going to be renewables. Nuclear is not going to contribute much at all. It might actually shrink proportionally as several reactors are scheduled to be decommissioned and there just isn't a whole lot being approved for construction.

This project is only adding some 340 MW. Not nothing of course but probably expensive and just not a lot in comparison. And of course that 2030 target date will likely slip. And in good tradition the article doesn't actually talk about budgets or money. Because obviously, this being a nuclear plant, it will blow through whatever budget was defined. By about 2x at least.

> Today couldn’t have happened without the Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, which is supporting the project with the largest single contribution the federal government has ever committed to a private project.

Which in short, is why Bill Gates is still involved at all: tax payer money is covering the budget and most of the risk. Which is substantial. And he gets to look all visionary if/when this thing comes online at great cost at some point in the 2030s.
> One of the interesting tradeoffs in programming languages is compile speed vs everything else.

In the case of Rust it's more of a cultural choice. Early people involved in the language pragmatically put everything else (correctness, ability to ship, maintainability, etc.) before compilation speed. Eventually the people attracted to contribute to the language weren't the sort that prioritized compilation speed. Many of the early library authors reflected that mindset as well. That compounds and eventually it's very difficult to crawl out from under.

I suspect the same is true for other languages as well. It's not strictly a bad thing. It's a tradeoff but my point is that it's less of an inevitability than people think.
Does this improve when declaring all variables with explicit types before using them in expressions?

My early engineer story is a lot different than this. 0.7% sold shares for ~1M at the end of 4 years. There is a bit of luck, and a bit of picking the right one to join. Don't join the ones that don't tell you what your equity share is and what the last valuation was to start with.
Sure, subs also have a place. I’m just saying that conventional warfare with high tech weapons favors resource decentralization. Right now things are easier to blow up than defend.
BeatSaber would be so much better with custom music, so would FitXR. But I don't have time to figure out how to do that as I used to.

It is too bad Facebook doesn't lean more into BeatSaber and rhythm game/fitness experiences, they are simple, easy to sell, and are pretty satisfying. But I guess it really isn't good enough for their product, they really need metaverse to take off.
Wait, in Swift it's illegal to multiply an int by a double?? So you would have to explicitly cast index to a double? I definitely didn't expect that!
Yes I do, to consume video content every other day on it. Sadly, I'm not the main owner of the device, because there is no multi user support, I cannot use it for day to day work (my partner is logged into it).
I remember listening to a German podcast about this kind of transport. It's super interesting how much planning is needed before such a transport. Talk to different police departments, check weight limits of roads, corner radius, plan to disassemble some obstacles. Huge effort.
"Recall" really needs to be retired as a term.
I skimmed the suit itself [1] - apparently Calm put on some events together with a PE fund in a joint venture, then a guy left the PE fund... and Calm and the exited person continued to put on events under the same name while preventing the PE from participating. The PE then sued them since they feel entitled since they co-created the event.

I'm sure there's more to the story, this is just from the suit itself (so obviously from the POV of the plaintiff).

But ya, the impact of a PE lawsuit on a very small startup fund that's already trying something new/risky is going to be disastrous for their morale and future plans.

No VC fund wants to be sued, I imagine, but for the one that has a razor-thin business model and no expectations of a big exit for 10+ years I imagine the suit is a high-probability death-blow regardless of right and wrong.

How do you interact with it, ooi? Hand-tracking, voice, ... ? (Can't really touch the headset or controller with wet and/or busy hands).

> I really wish there was an easy way to put the older 3d blu-ray movies on the device to watch movies,

Oh there is, it just involves the high seas route. Also most movie-players on these devices suck a bit, i.e. they are either "too immersive" and make it difficult to use pass-through, or too useless like the builtin one.
Only none of those have any sort of contextual meaning in tech, let alone the specific context of self hosting and web development.

You don't prove a point by being silly about random tokens out of context.

"kub" in the context of tech, specifically tooling for a developer of web tech, it's better to avoid using names that have similarities to tools they don't touch.

It's good marketing because it's good UX.

You can continue your pedantry if you like, the context of our tooling is what it is, and no sort of absurd reductionist argument is going to change that.

Does it have a harbour with sufficient cranes to offload it, and a good enough road to transport it out?

And if you're going to need 4 trucks to get it out of the port anyway, might as well just drive it there.

Sorry, no idea why I'm debating some random person on the internet about an issue which has absolutely no impact on me whatsoever. Sport, I guess.
FWIW: I'm an investor in all of Calm's funds (I think I was one of the earliest investors in Fund 1), and have been quite happy with the funds themselves. They've done great — outperforming my own expectations.

As indie.vc also found, it's just hard to make these styles of funds work on the business side.

Yes that’s accidental gambling. Or what i like to call “at the right place at the right time”.

Ask a Yahoo employee how that same plan would have worked out for them.

That being said, good for you. :)

Regardless of what "everybody assumes", you can in fact build rust binaries without using rustup or cargo. Distros do this. Yes, it's more painful for end users than just typing `cargo build`, but that's irrelevant to distro maintainers.

Extremely easy.

I built IceburgCRM (available in Django or Laravel). You can create a specialized crm with only a few words. For example: "create a stamp collecting crm". Modules, Fields, Relationships, Subpanels, default data and even a image for your homepage is created.

Data can be imported/exported into 6 different formats. Supports unlimited many to many relationships, 26 different themes, etc.

This is what the default crm looks like: https://demo.iceburg.ca/

Here are some samples I generated:

My pet theory: Nobody wants to go up against a very charismatic phony in what will almost certainly turn into a battle of wits instead of a battle of facts.

Our entire society deifies charismatic phonies. They are the ones that get elevated to the highest positions in politics and the C-level business suite. They're always the heroic Main Character. They build up cult followings. They often look so good, speak so smoothly and have those irresistible Ivy League mannerisms. You're supposed to like them and help elevate them even higher.

Do you want to expose this person? The Main Character? You better be right, and you better be ready to have the full force of his charm, persuasion, and cult following at your throat forever.
> but for the one that has a razor-thin business model and no expectations of a big exit for 10+ years

This is the confusing part for me. Why were they trying to run an annual event like this to begin with? It's a lot of work, and they admitted it was even running at a loss.

I never understood how they squared that with their "calm" thesis.
Hand tracking is limited to 30fps in VisionOS 1.0, but in 2.0 it runs at the same framerate as the display, so it should be vastly improved.
Haven't touched it in months. Thought about bringing it on a recent international flight, but we had toddler in tow and I didn't want to lug it around for a couple of weeks.

Excited about the updates to the OS, my goal was always to use it for work, as an alternative posture mode, but couldn't get used to it at first.

Are there any other killer apps other than movies these days?
I think the big take away is that GitHub should add a "Merges #X" feature similar to Closes #X as Daniel suggests.

An additional problem with closing a pull request instead of "purple merging" it is that it gives off the wrong end result when you view the pull request from the pull requests view, as an activity comment in a related issue, or by viewing the top of a pull request. Red should mean change rejected and purple should mean change accepted, regardless of the mechanism by which the code was accepted.
> information would be sent "back in time"

You are wrong. Instantaneous communications is possible, and the information would merely be sluggish (like a signal with a much longer sync rate) not go "back in time."

Besides, one cannot travel at the speed of light, that is science fiction. An ~80% clip is probably as fast, or comfortably fast as we will ever likely get (in a thousand years at our rate of development.)

And you're right, I am well read, and have fifteen years of experience communicating with disembodied jackasses through entanglement (and I've been on the other side of the world, these signals are not propagated classically.)

Good luck with your studies, don't let your certainties impair your learning.
the claim as I understand it is that the higher taxed houses will decrease in price in order to attract buyers, but property taxes are generally determined by prices, this would mean that house value should increase in Montgomery because lower taxes, and prices should decrease in Delaware because higher prices, and then in a few years the property taxes in Montgomery should increase and the taxes in Delaware should decrease.

I of course am aware that property taxes change over time, but I don't think this kind of strongly observable see-sawing of the property taxes actually exists - so probably more data than just guessing would be useful.
The number of times I've seen someone market a product called "The Matrix" since 1999 would tell me trademarks like this aren't a big deal.

There can be a mix though.

I mentioned in a sibling comment that I used ChatGPT to generate homework. I tried pretty hard to get it to generate questions that I thought would be fun and interesting, instead of kind of boring cookie-cutter stuff that was in every textbook (e.g. shapes and animals to represent classes and inheritance and interfaces...boring!). I was very happy with the results (my favorite was getting the students to implement a rough version of the Pokemon battle system in Java).

I was a bit of a weird professor since I had like 11 years of industry experience at the time, and had been a college dropout not long before I was a professor (I did have my bachelors and was pursuing a doctorate while teaching, don't worry), and I do think that I was able to put a unique spin on things and explain stuff from a more industrial perspective, but I honestly feel like AI helped me with that, instead of making the stuff boring by regurgitating the textbook.
