In Texas, sports is bigger than religion. I personally know families that would drive out of state every weekend so their children can participate in weekend soccer/basketball tournaments. This meant 5+ hours in the car each way.

Personally, I believe the loss of trust in institutions (major sex scandals in every church, Boy Scouts of America etc.) made parents uneasy about sending their kids somewhere without one of them as a chaperone.

Here in Texas, I also did not trust many of the volunteer coaches. Many of them simply did not know how dangerous heat stroke was. There was also this bizarre old school theory that you shouldn't drink water when exercising in the heat. Instead, they repeat old stories like this...

ten days of misery forty-seven years ago when players quit the team in droves to avoid the four-hour practices that did not include water breaks or even a kind word from Bryant. It was a miracle that no one died.</excerpt>
And by "significant", half or more their take-off weight.

Boeing B-52 Stratofortress: dry weight 38.25 tonne, fuel capacity 141.6 tonne, ratio 3.7:1. Max takeoff weight: 221.3 tonne. If at max fuel, that's 63% fuel. In practice, this aircraft refuels, often multiple times, on missions, which may span the globe.

Boeing 747-8: dry weight 220 tonne, fuel capacity 238.6 tonne, ratio 1.08:1. Max takeoff weight: 447.1 tonne. If at max fuel, that's 53% fuel.

Much of the fuel burn is on take-off and climb, meaning that cruise portions of flight are already at significantly less than take-off weight, and further reduce with time. You'll occasionally see long-distance flight profiles in which the altitude of the aircraft increases over the flight (in 1,000 ft increments given air traffic regulations) as fuel load decreases and maximum efficient altitude increases.
Not sure that's true.

I'm really interested in exploring it for building web app backends because of this. Being able to have a drag-and-drop distribution is even better.
I don't understand how housing can increase in cost in a stable steady manner, as a fraction of household income over long periods of time like more than 100 years. It seems to defy logic, so it makes me suspect how it is being calculated when people claim that housing costs have gone up by massive amounts.

Since only a small increase would price a large number of people out of the market- it seems logical that housing can't really increase in cost/value over long time spans, but must track the overall economy almost exactly.
You are what you are in this world.
I'm glad it's working for you. I use v8 every day on my work machine. My complaints aren't about the speed of the application, but rather the reduced features and removal of any menubar app functionality that was present in v7. I'm not a fan of the UI changes, personally; I don't know why everything needs to have _so much_ space, but I could ignore that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Electron, and I'd prefer it have remained a native app, but that alone wouldn't be enough for me to jump ship. And I'm not even claiming alternatives are better than v8; it's simply that v7 was much better, and I'm actively looking for alternatives.
TBH, what should scare you is that most of the AI startups are building on top of someone’s APIs.

So, in most cases they have no moat. They are going to close, and while some will close due to operational cost issues as you identified, a lot more will close since they have no defensible business/revenue model.
You can only keep an Ouroboros loop going for only so long. At some point, you'll need to inject fresh, demand-driven, customer revenue into the machine.

But how do you know so clearly that the one thing is a lie and the other is the truth?

I suspect he was trying to negotiate a place for Grok in Apple's LLM story.

This is definitely a factor and applies to regular support help as well. I sent 1Password an email several years ago about an issue and got a prompt and helpful response back. It was a much better experience than I would ever expect from Apple (or Google/Microsoft/etc).

I'm not really a fan of 1Password overall though. The product is still fine but has gotten gradually worse over the years and their corporate posture does not inspire any confidence. Consumer apps that focus on Enterprise and are only interested in SaaS revenue almost always follow the same path of endlessly degrading the user experience once they reach a certain point. I haven't seen anything that makes me think they will be an exception, but I give them credit for actually having a real support channel, at least as of a few years ago.

Questions of human conflict are incredibly complex, but occasionally life gives you a freebie. Occasionally, things actually are black and white, there are good guys and bad guys and you should not support the bad guys. If you had trouble getting this one absolutely dead simple case right, maybe you should not bother having an opinion on these matters at all.
While I agree with the spirit of the competition, a $1M prize seems a little too low considering tens of billions of dollars have already been invested in the race to AGI, and we will see many times that put into the space in the coming years. The impact of AGI will be measured in trillions at minimum. So what you are ultimately rewarding isn't AGI research but fine tuning the newest public LLM release to best meet the parameters of the test.

I'd also urge you to use a different platform for communicating with the public because x.com links are now inaccessible without creating an account.

Yep, Australia has used BSB/account number for many decades, and launched the NPP (instant transfer between banks proxied via the reserve bank) almost a decade ago that allows you to register your own identifiers like phone number, email, etc.

Last time I was in America (admittedly 5 years ago now), most places didn't even do Apple Pay (we had this near ubiquitous 9 years ago), you needed a physical card and to _sign_ for things most places (we phased out signatures a decade ago because they're quite insecure) and most places seem to accept paper cheques with all the risks and complexities they come with.

I'm not trying to have a pissing contest with America here, but what the fuck are they doing? They seem to arbitrarily decide to dig their feet on for "personal freedoms and choices" for things that benefit them whilst simultaniously giving them away for things that don't.

You're not forced to with Go. CGO exists and requires dynamic linking.
You almost caught up to Dart.

- Built for embedded devices and already has RISC-V support

- Already has WASM was a compilation target

- Not just an LSP but amazing VSCode tooling

- Native C, C++, Java, Rust and JavaScript interop and a .NET bridge is in the works it seems.

- Typed "throws"

- Static linking (in development)

- Data-race free by default

Unique features to Swift:

- Distributed actors for concurrency that run on distant machines. (This is doable but not native to the language)

- non-copy RAII generic types (not actually sure what this is so I assume it’s not in Dart)
Personally, my experience was developing IDEs and other developer tools.

I've noticed a lot of content lately that purposely farms engagement through dark patterns. For instance: getting a detail wrong or poor spelling/grammar almost always draws a lot of responses to dunk on the original creator.

When platforms like Twitter and TikTok monetize engagement you realize that these can often be intentional. Once you recognize the patterns it becomes very hard to unsee.
API prices of the private AI platforms are more or less comparable to self-hosted OSS solutions like Meta's LLAMA 3.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I'd also like to see org mode support!

Since the APIs are public and documented, I would love to see a client inside Emacs as well. Then we can browse the notes in actual org-mode on desktop.

I ended up teaching Carver Mead's course in its last year at Caltech, which was quite an experience. In many ways, the course was (and is) horribly out of date, and not just because of the fact that students were using open-source Berkeley tools to draw layouts. The real reason why this course was obsolete was that Mead and Conway so thoroughly won the argument on the idea of creating rigorous abstractions that people don't learn any other way.

It just seems so obvious today that you can create gates, you can create macros, you can create complex designs, and you can define the interface at every level so you can hook them up and they just work. That idea came out of Conway and the early pioneers of VLSI.

The same ideas are the core of how we work with libraries when doing software engineering, too.

As much as "trapped in the wrong body" is a cliché, the physical aspect of gender dysphoria is profound, and often overlooked. I don't care about competing in women's sports, or what locker room I had to use. I cared about my body becoming grotesque and alien to me, and became overwhelmed with how profoundly wrong it felt. It's not that I want to look like a girl so I can be treated like one - I want to look like a girl, regardless of how I'm treated. My dysphoria is actually worse when I'm alone, because I can't distract myself with socializing. It's hard to empathize with physical dysphoria if you've never felt it, but I appreciate your struggle.
A lot of the US government would be called anarchist if it was a proposal from a radical rather than the current state of affairs:

1. Criminal trials via random lottery of jury with the charged being viewed as innocent until proven guilty.

2. Checks and balances, where governmental power is intentionally limited and weakened.

3. A system of federated governments that elect representations, with a design favoring minority members of that federation.

Anarchism is always a balancing act between legitimate power and limitations on that power. Most forms of Anarchism do not reject all forms of power as illegitimate but rather place a heavy burden of proof on the claim that legitimate of the use of power.

I disagree with a lot of what Chomsky has said but I do think his definition of anarchism was very well stated:

"Well, anarchism is, in my view, basically a kind of tendency in human thought which shows up in different forms in different circumstances, and has some leading characteristics. Primarily it is a tendency that is suspicious and skeptical of domination, authority, and hierarchy. It seeks structures of hierarchy and domination in human life over the whole range, extending from, say, patriarchal families to, say, imperial systems, and it asks whether those systems are justified. It assumes that the burden of proof for anyone in a position of power and authority lies on them. Their authority is not self-justifying. They have to give a reason for it, a justification. And if they can’t justify that authority and power and control, which is the usual case, then the authority ought to be dismantled and replaced by something more free and just." - Noam Chomsky
New iPad is super fancy. It's above everything else in many ways. But that doesn't move everything else down. Android tablets (unless you get one from a discount bin) are perfectly functional devices and they really are just fine. You can do almost all the same tasks on them. You don't have to chase the new, shiny and expensive. In the same way, Camry and Civic are just fine cars - they are simple and get the job done.
That's very helpful.

I'm not sure how well that works if vendors differentiate themselves through proprietary models and backend integrations. As far as I know, Mistral only releases weights for some of its models, with others being proprietary.

In one of his books (I believe it's Collapse though possibly Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond comments on how introduction of novel foodstuffs, in particular the potato or sweet potato, by Europeans, greatly changed military capabilities and hence power relations amongst indigenous Pacific islanders. Particularly in New Zealand if memory serves.

I'd had to be careful in noting that these were foods introduced by Europeans, but not European foods of themselves, in that potatoes (both varieties) are native to the Americas.
Humans have been consuming flax and soy-based products for thousands of years.

There have been two major real housing price jumps that I know of, and both are correlated with significant household income increases (at least nominal). Almost everything else can be factored into changes in what the "nominal house" is - from a one room cabin without plumbing to a McMansion with a three car garage.

One was the great urbanization post-world wars and the other was the great increase in dual-income households.

But if you factor things out and try to correct for as many variables as you can, housing is pretty "steady state" though the percentage of income directed toward it that's acceptable has crept up somewhat.

Shelter is, like food, one of the few real necessities and so it will be bid up to the point of pain or worse if there is a scarcity.
