This community built React 18 adapter actually works pretty well in my experience. Some failures, but worked for multiple thousands of test files for my use case. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cfaester/enzyme-adapter-react...

That said, making the 19 adapter is a whole new task, and I think these tests should be converted to RTL eventually, so the approach described in the blog post is still valuable.
That size is about where the range for software hacker friendly products end. Minimum cost and complexity needed for a 4.8" and 6" LCD are substantially different.
Either global warming is a serious catastrophe or it isn't.

If it isn't, this is all moot and we should burn cheap, clean, abundant natural gas.

If it is, surely it isn't a problem to shell out more money to get green baseload generations from nuclear? We need to meet base demand around the clock, and nuclear is the least harmful way to do it.
Do you happen to have a link or any other information about this?
Not an engineer, found the video on this fascinating and very approachable. It sounds like the NTSB report did a surprisingly good job of addressing the multiple mistakes and failures that led to the bridge collapse.

But to the bigger point made near the end, without a person in the loop who both appreciates the meaning held within the inspection reports AND having the power to act on that information, we still remain vulnerable to the complexity of our own social systems becoming too inefficient to handle problems like this.
> Perhaps there's something about how the ReactOS project is run that I'm unaware of that puts people off.

My guess is that the intersection of people who don't need need bug for bug windows compat (so aren't are stuck on real Windows) and those who really care about the NT compatibility at the kernel level is about zero.

> having no alternative O/S to Windows is a real pain.

That really depends on what you count as an alternative, doesn't it? As far as regular applications are concerned Linux + Wine is a pretty good alternative.
Read this book https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/pasp/. It's a hefty tome but kind of the bible of the various approaches to audio signal processing and synthesis.

There's no one method to rule them all, they all have tradeoffs. So there is no "ray tracing" of audio (well actually, it's ray tracing, but for a lot of reasons it's prohibitive to actually do that in a way that sounds good).

> What is this field called?

Audio synthesis. Popular journals with papers covering the topic are DAFX (digital audio effects) and jAES (journal of the audio engineering society). To a lesser extent, the IEEE transactions on audio signal processing.

> I am assuming it has something to do with the physics field of acoustics?

You can find plenty of sources in acoustics journals/text books - but this is like comparing the needs of mechanical and electrical engineers to game engine designers. At a surface level there is crossover, and cross pollination of techniques/tools, but the needs are fundamentally different.
Goes to show how much graphics aren't the deciding factor in fun games for kids - or rather they aren't even that huge a deal.
In the long run, I've learned the most important things from just using Linux, but I used books when starting and occasionally now.

For me, it was Linux in a Nutshell (942 pages in the current edition) because I wanted a reference made of paper instead of pixels.

Later for deep background, Design of the Linux Operating System https://archive.org/details/DesignUNIXOperatingSystem but I picked up an used print copy for <$10.

Those were the best books for me. You are not me. Good luck.

Oh, that sounds double plus good.
It's not easy, but it is relaxing. When I'm with my bees I have no other cares in the world. The buzzing alone makes sure of that. If I slipped up, they could kill me, so there's also that. But mainly it's just so darned fun and interesting, and not killing bees is a challenge (which is why we've converted our Langstroth hives to top-bar hives, so it's actually feasible to not kill any bees, but it still requires care and attention). When we eventually take up larger animals, I expect much of the same.
> The Perplexity chatbot itself is more specific. Prompted to describe what Perplexity is, it provides text that reads...

This is something that comes up a lot: people thinking an LLM's output about it self is some special insight.

Wired isn't specifically saying that here—it could just be seen as color (and it may be more reasonable with a Perplexity-style LLM)—but it's presented in a way that's going to lead to a lot of people taking as such.

Not a huge deal, but right from the start the author is saying things that makes me not trust them to know what they're talking about. Nice to get that signal up front, I guess. :-/
At least Hurd is making better progress than TempleOS these days.
One uncounted point is frequency of novelty.

Generalizing, I'd say younger people (18-35) are more default-comfortable in novel situations. As we age, people's tolerance for that seems to decrease.

And, on the whole, I'd say that rural life provides less novelty than city life. Or at least novelty within tighter bounds.
Interesting, I just asked Gemini that and it did give me some generic but on-topic answer.

I was fully expecting it to puritan out.
I'm pretty confident is that a core problem is that people who develop OS's realize that linux or unix-like systems are plain superior, and end up just building on that, being well versed in their structure and syntax.

This is great and all, except that the linux experience is about a 3/10 for people who are trying to leave windows. Especially when the core of using linux is still so incredibly CLI heavy.

It's kinda like having professional race car drivers build cars. They end up being fast, efficient, nimble, and easy to repair. But driving them is difficult as hell, the drivers seat looks like an apache helicopter cockpit and the clutch is so stiff and throttle so sensitive that you almost always stall or lunge. But it does have an automatic "beginner" mode, never leaves first gear and the throttle becomes slush, but it will get you from A to B around town, mostly. Great for grandma.
I'm disputing your claim, it's only fair that you produce the data, however it takes such little time to Google "apple open source contributions":

https://open source.apple.com/projects/

I wouldn't call their contributions here insignificant. I'm not sure comparing them to Google or Microsoft is productive given how vertically integrated Apple is. What about Samsung? Sony?

It just seems uncharitable to imply they give back so little it's newsworthy when they do. It seems to me that they give back a fair bit, and that doesn't seem newsworthy to me, and I don't really understand why this is on the front page.

> when a more typical capacity factor for a coal plant is 60%

This is, of course, patent nonsense. "Not producing maximum power because it isn't needed at the moment" is an entirely different thing from "not producing maximum power because you can't".

A coal or nuclear plant that's producing less than its maximum output because the power isn't needed at the moment can be ramped up if needed (not super quickly, hence the need for peaker plants, but it can be done).

A solar plant that's producing less than its maximum output because it's night, or because it's cloudy, cannot.

> https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2020/05/28/record-low-solar-ppas... is an article from four years ago giving some specific prices: a solar ppa had just been signed for 15 dollars per megawatt hour, while the cost of production with coal at the san juan generating station

1) No storage costs are mentioned.
2) Most places are not New Mexico.
3) I'd bet money that there's some heavy government subsidization involved here. Ah, yes: "EPE will also receive the associated renewable energy credits (“RECs”) bundled with the purchased energy."

> you suggest 12 hours, but a much more typical number in practice is 3–4 hours, partly because there are still coal plants and partly because electrical demand drops a lot at night

Wait: you're claiming that the nighttime zero production from solar plants doesn't matter because there are still coal plants?

I'm sorry, that is a benefit of the coal plants, not the solar plants.

What happens in your scenario when there aren't any more coal or nuclear plants? Again, that might work in New Mexico, but in most regions people would prefer not to freeze in the dark.
The Norwegian 4x4 rowing protocol is a scientifically-backed method that combines the efficiency of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with the full-body workout of rowing. This approach is designed to enhance endurance and improve cardiovascular health. By incorporating rowing into the Norwegian 4x4 protocol, athletes and fitness enthusiasts can benefit from a comprehensive exercise routine that targets multiple muscle groups and maximizes cardiovascular benefits.

Not all 'open source' AI models are open
Some of that blame can be laid at the feet of north american two staircase fire code requirements.

Rules that all units need 2 different staircases really dictate the sort of layout that is physically possible, nearly always resulting in a long central hallway with stairs at either end that feels very impersonal. The resulting units are also not great places to live, with windows on a single wall. Every bedroom needs an egress window, so building 3+ bedroom units almost never pencils out. It's all 1-2 bedroom 'starter' apartments, rather than the types of beautiful 'for life' apartments you'd see in pre-war new york buildings.

Since the staircases are required no matter what, developers are incentivized to stretch the horizontal distance between them as far as possible to amortize the space penalty of the stairs, making the building feel even more impersonal once inside.

If single stairs plus a sprinkler or other fire suppression was allowed multifamily buildings could be set on much smaller lots, with more corner units that have windows on 2 sides or even small, skinny apartments with half or the full floor dedicated to 3-4 bedroom units. The interiors would have far more light and the buildings would be much more human-scale, all contributing to things feeling a lot more personal. There could also be a lot more green space and gathering space scattered in smaller parcels, breaking up the hulking 5+1s we have all become used to.
> Your moat shouldn't be hoping that actors follow your arbitrary business rules,

All these "should" statements always seem to be baseless opinion masquerading as fact.

The unfortunate future is going to be all data hidden behind a login screen. Creators being able to sustain themselves is more important than consumers being able to get free and more convenient things. If consumers don't want to pay for something they should just create it themselves. See what I did there?
I agree, but I do think it's a huge deal. It's like people who think that an ATM is expressing gratitude when it displays "Thank you" on the screen. One of the greatest challenges facing humanity right now is "de-wooing" technology and somehow breaking the illusion that they are capable of all the BS marketing and hype kings and pushing out there today.
> They don't specify that it may not be you that records it. They are consenting.

My - not a lawyer - understanding of consent laws is they're tied somewhat to privacy expectation laws.

If I tell you I am recording you, your expectation of privacy is lessened. But mine isn't, necessarily, because I control the recording and its potential dissemination.
Maybe mount the display on a small adapter PCB that has a CPU for pixel conversion, and a standard flat cable down to the main board?

Then the main board can stay the same even as the displays are swapped out together with new adapter PCBs?
Yes, I stand corrected.
Correct. If you enable Lockdown Mode, the JavaScript JIT compiler is disable by default in WebKit:

For the past 20 years, I’ve worked in health information technology at two companies, although the first (a horrifically dysfunctional startup) was acquired by the second. Likewise, all the damage from the first just rolled over into the second, and all my issues (college drop out with poor self esteem and terrible imposter syndrome) just festered and grew. While there were a couple of good years post-acquisition, it too became a comically dysfunctional shitshow that was destroying me physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, I just kept making excuses. I made a good living, I had insane seniority which came with 7 weeks of PTO (although I essentially could never use it), and who’s gonna hire a college dropout with two shitty, nobody companies dominating their CV? I was constantly rationalizing that next year might be better if I just grind out today’s soul crushing bullshit, and anyway this was as good as I deserved.

There was a high profile breach resulting in legal actions. In December they laid off all but a handful of devs and planned to nearshore everything. Many close coworkers, including a good friend I’ve worked with for 17 years who was probably half the reason I stayed, all unceremoniously dumped. All projects cancelled except what was necessary to shore up a few things, clearly we’re headed to the boneyard. The company is sinking and on fire, and has been for some time. My job was going to get worse and there was a very real danger that this job would kill me one way or another if I stayed. The heavens gave me hundreds of signs to move on over the years and I ignored them. This was one last chance.

Five months ago, a former coworker offered me a way out. He couldn’t meet me at my current salary so I lost a pretty painful 12%, the total benefits aren’t as great, but the total opportunity is better, there is almost no stress, and I love the team and their vision and focus. I’m thankful to him and the company for making a spot for me. The worst that could happen, being out of a job, is a wash. The most alarming thing is coming to terms with how bad off I really was, and how much it was bringing down my partner, family, and friends. It’s going to take me some time to get myself sorted and be back to a whole person again, but for the first time in a while I have a bit of hope and when I think about what tomorrow looks like I don’t see blackness. So far, the only regret is I didn’t do it sooner. That was worth the 12%.
> 1. You can only go forward in time to varying degrees, never back.

That's what we seem to observe; but I'm not aware of any reason why that should be so a priori, and I don't know what kind of evidence would be conclusive, either this way or that.

My point is that the fermi approximation is flawed because HVDC is still extremely expensive to transmit power from places where solar is plentiful to where it’s needed. So there are significant real world implications that make the approximation off probably by an order of magnitude. There’s a lot of solar energy but effectively time and distance shifting it turns out to be extremely difficult and expensive. That’s why solar and wind continue struggling to replace fossil fuels in the grid (modulo places like California, Florida and Texas with abundant sunshine throughout the state) despite the generators themselves being cheaper than ever; all they’ve managed to do is absorb daytime energy growth. It’s something but our absolute fossil fuel consumption in the grid has continued to grow substantially even if as a percentage it managed to stagnate or marginally decrease. Nuclear continues to have far more success at actually replacing fossil fuels in the grid, has meaningfully less land footprint than solar, and while gen iii reactors require some work to maintain safety, it still remains remarkably safe per mwh comparable to solar and gen iv reactors have fail safe designs that don’t carry any of the same maintenance concerns. We gave up on nuclear fission too early and easily due to FUD from the coal industry and it still remains the better path to fix the grid’s contribution to global warming.
We can both agree on the unfortunate future.

One thing that is strange is that we can easily imagine the first two derivatives: position we can just imagine a static point, velocity we can imagine a constant speed i.e. a straight line on a position-time graph, acceleration we just imagine a parabola, but jerk is somehow conceptually indistinguishable. The difference between a point, a line, and a parabola are stark, the third order jerk is not so easy to distinguish, instead still just looking like the parabola.

I've always wondered why this is, why curves in general are perceptually similar if scaled correctly, while a straight line is so clearly different. Perhaps it is because our perceptions developed to distinguish between inertial and non inertial reference frames?
Add to that that finishing the remaining 90% of a project is a lot less exciting than designing the first 90% of a new one.
Usually, the ast can be converted to code, then formatted using a specific formatter.

The idea of the 3 levels really resonated with the ideas in "Bernoulli's Fallacy" as well. Right now we are seeing a resurgence of Bayesian reasoning across all fields that deal with data and statistical reasoning. I think many errors of modern civilization were caused by people at a level 2 understanding attempting to operationalize their knowledge for others at level 1.

We need it to become much more common to operate at level 3, especially in fields like enterprise software development.

Spotify did it for awhile before they completely stopped accepting in app purchases. Paramount+ also use to do it.

Netflix offers in app purchases for streaming subscriptions if you pay through their games. But only the ad tier.

You can subscribe to YouTube or Hulu via in app subscriptions. But you can’t subscribe to YouTube TV or Hulu Live TV via the app.

I guess these days I would offer a higher month to month subscription through in app purchases and a lower yearly subscription from the web.

I agree with this and the parent comment, but I do find it amusing that you will get different behavior from some language models if you are polite to them. That probably isn't helping people's perception of them, in the fact that when treated like they are human they try to emulate that. Kind of like their entire purpose is to pass a turing test, which they do pretty well. Unfortunately passing a turing test does not imply any sort of reasoning, insight, or intelligence, and I think that's where people make the mistake.
So nobody commented on the easter egg on the keyboard yet? Not sure whether I prefer it to the original, but I appreciate its existence :)
It's meaningful because the model can learn relationships between things (like, that a dog and cat are often pets and interchangdable in certain circumstances) and then produce output that it has never seen. Read the word2vec paper as an example.

And, an LLM can output whatever you want. Change the last linear layer from (embedding dimension -> vocab size) to (embedding dimension -> sentiment categories) for example, and hey presto it can produce sentiment analysis (with surprisingly few samples, because... it's learned all the concepts in the transformer blocks in pre-training).

You gotta actually have a clue about how they work. This stuff is no longer magic, there are many resources to learn them in detail.
