Oh please.

Let's assume people are going at a speed that the road is designed to handle, since that's usually the case. In that situation, the behavior you're calling out as unsafe is simply "going faster". Now, in a technical sense that's true, but it's always true. Going faster reduces safety when you're above the speed limit. Going faster reduces safety when you're at the speed limit. Going faster reduces safety when you're below the speed limit.

If you reduce safety to black and white, then you should always go slower, until you're barely moving. If the speed limit is 40, that doesn't magically make it safe to go 40.

Black and white thinking leads to a bad conclusion, so let's add nuance back in. Speed is dangerous but roads are designed to let you go a certain speed while minimizing the danger. You're not being dangerous until you go over that speed. And that speed is almost always higher than the speed limit, especially in good weather.

Going over the speed limit is not itself a problem. It's going over the design speed of the road that's a problem.

What do you mean? Unless they use sun.*, those old libraries should be fine.
every software that ever updates has options that are subject to change; a user needs to be proactive in knowing whats running. i do agree we shouldnt need the privacy treadmill, but until we have better consumer laws the treadmill will continue...

as far as powershell scripts; i cant say i am a fan (i do like the potential targeting of offline machines with something like the mentioned website) - but my favorite to date is still: https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer/

edit: if you end up trying out hellzerg's optimizer: do know that reboot button, once clicked, reboots right meow

I never implied it was good thing. Or even something I want.

I’m just certain it is an obvious next step given, on one side, these platforms’ goals and incentives, and on the other how generative AI capabilities have progressed in the past couple of years.

I’m pretty sure the smart play, if they want diverse, engaging, and surprising content will involve leaving some room for people to create things and somehow reward them for it.

But whatever they make won’t only be used as content to show to others, but also as new training data to feed the machine.
That would be fine if there was a time limit for monologues, but some people can only be cut off abruptly to avoid them dominating conversations.
The tests I'm finding seem to be mostly white-label brands with who knows what kind of oil. I'm talking about single source olive oil. It's a bit more expensive but you generally get oil from small operations and co-ops that can be either eco or not.

How does one even get high inner voice score there? I dialogue in my head all the time and answered “sa” to most of the inner voice questions, but fell on the far left side on that graph. Feels like other questions subtract from it silently. Instead I got high score in object rotation which I can do easily but it isn’t my main mode of thinking. I usually think abstractions and/or speak myself into convincing they are good enough.

I probably failed due to this agree/disagree test laziness. You never know what they meant by things like “I often enjoy X”. What does strongly disagree mean here? Never? I don’t enjoy? What if I don’t enjoy it, but do often? Why not ask it directly like “I X: never sometimes often” or “I relate to X: hare it … love it”. Even then it’s unclear what “sometimes” means. Once in a year, in a month, in a day? This indirection and vagueness adds so much noise to the result.

I guess all this tells how I think more than the test itself.
Probably worth noting that while 洋 does literally mean "sea", it also means "foreign".
On The Future of SFSS
https://sfss.space/on-the-future-of-sfss

Here is the text if you don't wanna click.

As you may have read earlier, I've taken a break. Today, I'm ready to relaunch SFSS in a new direction. I don't feel like publishing Western stories anymore, so I'm looking elsewhere.

I started with Vietnam, a country I'm particularly fond of (I spent the best year of my life there), but the SF scene there is almost non-existent and the few stories I've read aren't very good.

With the help of a Polish friend, the next few weeks will be devoted to finding good untranslated Polish stories.

Finally, if you yourself are fluent in an Eastern language and would like to collaborate with me, please don't hesitate to contact me:
sfss_spacefrontier@protonmail.com

NB: any other suggestions/comments are welcome.

Your Kindle feels like it's owned by Amazon because you're using their books as a service stuff. Zlibrary, Calibre, 24/7 airplane mode, and it's as yours as a ZX Spectrum my dude.
Depends how you define work, and how it's divided up.

A remarkable amount of labour goes into generating income to pay for care, for example. Both people saving for their own in later life (or insurance to pay for it), and working to pay for childcare so they can work.

And a sizeable amount also just to facilitate the work itself. Car payments so you can get to work. Student loan repayments on your training, and so on. Paying over the odds for a city apartment because that's where the work is.

None of this can be magicked away of course. But the amount of hours that directly address economic need or generate discretionary income is a lot less than 40.
I haven’t tried in this particular case, but they are very backwards compatible and I have had success running some CS professor’s 20 years old random, obscure jar about some datastructure visualization, downloaded from these old, ugly html-only university website.
Windows settings have always been bad, but the new UI is truly an atrocity.

I think it's intentional because they don't really want users changing stuff, especially the spyware parts.

Android is also truly horrible, with some settings (like privacy settings) redirecting you to a sluggish embedded remote web page.
There is something I forgot to mention, but can't edit in now: running weekly notes.

I'm not completely shooting from the hip.

On login I get an editor with two files/tabs:

1: this week
2: last week

This is the 'net' capturing anything not worthy of a calendar entry or ticket.

It's a relatively short BASH script with the week/year handled by 'date'. On mobile or I'd share it; will post with interest
Absolutely. In my company I'm forced to use Windows, because we develop Windows software (WPF). I'm not totally happy with Windows (especially 11), but I tend to look for jobs that have nothing to do with what I'm too familiar with to gain new knowledge. However, I'm trying to make the windows experience as good as possible for my personal taste :-) Additionally I hope I can help to migrate to a web based solution in the future.
I've heard that, but I still think the amber light is disgusting and gross, I'm not buying a device that only has that.

I even recently broke my old Kindle, I'd already heard of daylight computer tablets but the amber light was a main factor and why I just bought another Kindle. I would like high FPS and fully unlocked Android, but all I really needed was some way to read a bunch of digital books. The new Kindle also has an Amber mode, but I keep it off I like the blue light I think green would be better) fall asleep reading just fine.
Oh it’s absolutely enough. It’s hard to fathom just how much wealth we actually have in this world, just not evenly distributed. If we had community ownership of the means of production, wealth would be distributed much more throughout the population instead of concentrated at the very top. Many things would change because of this. For one, significantly less unnecessary stuff would be produced. Huge sectors of our economy are devoted to producing junk that is designed to make someone lots of money and then break quickly. A community oriented economy would produce more durable and useful goods meant to be repaired and upgraded instead of thrown away. It does not necessarily take any extra manufacturing capacity to make things repairable, but they would last much longer. Because of this you can run the same manufacturing capacity less and still provide for everyone. There’s also much more of an incentive to automate when the choice is literally build a robot or you have to do the labor yourself, so we’d see more pressures towards automation. Actually this is something Noam Chomsky talked about in 1976:

https://youtu.be/h_x0Y3FqkEI

It’s difficult to grasp the degree to which the economy would change if we had community oriented production. It’s not a simple incremental change, but a massive improvement in conditions for the average person.

Another angle to think about it is like this: imagine a world where all school children are taught how to properly participate in a cooperate economy from youth. We all learn how to write proposals and vote in regular meetings and work out disputes and by the time we’re adults we’re running big cooperative organizations smoothly. Okay now imagine a place like Amazon starts up as an co-op and all the workers are sharing in the profits. Let’s say they’re just as good as Jeff Bezos at running the company, but there’s no Jeff Bezos to absorb all the profits? How much would each worker earn?

Now in a truly cooperative economy there wouldn’t be poor third world workers to exploit for profit the way Jeff Bezos did so there wouldn’t be such massive windfall profits available, but it’s worth briefly considering how much each Amazon worker would be worth if they actually earned their fair share of the value they’re producing.

By the way the Black Panther Party ran a community learning center for children that focused on cooperation back in 1977. Imagine if all our schools were like this:

These things can influence the choices people choose to make, but they cannot make those choices for them. You’re simple stating the shared delusion of obese people who can’t confront accountability. None of the factors you’ve mentioned require anybody to have a donut and a milkshake for breakfast every morning. They might make somebody more likely to make that terrible decision, but it’s still a decision only they are accountable for.

I'm sure your "dirty job" makes sense to you, and it's clear you even feel very righteous about it.

Be that as it may, ideological crusades such as this are explicitly disallowed on here. "Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity."

Dang has been very clear on that, many times - whatever he "knows about you".

You really think it's "impossible" for a corporation with Star Trek replicator tech to profit from starving people? ... And that was the right time to fight "the virtues of collectivism"? You are trampling curiousity, and have admitted as much, and now you really ought to consider giving it a rest.
*Auster not Aster
I agree with your scenario, but I wouldn't consider someone who consistently under-delivers a "rock star."

This is why defining terms is important. For me, a rockstar is a developer who is just further along, who likes to program in their own time, who reads Hacker News, and builds projects on the weekends.
Within 5 years, that person will be much further ahead than the rest and will spot pitfalls, security, and performance issues simply because they have encountered them before. However, sharing that information could lead to that person being called a "rockstar" and problematic, hampering "progress".
Farming is about 1% of gdp in the west. So you’re talking half an hour per week on average.
I regret getting my boox enough to pipe in to ward others off. I bought into the hype but the colors are very muted as a gimmick and the device is essentially DOA planned obsolescence eewaste with minimal software upgrades planned and no major Android versions.

Battery life is good as a pure ereader but I mainly use pressreader/Libby through my local library for magazines. I came back to edit this post 30 min later and dropped 6% with wifi and full backlight reading.

I use it for meeting notes and some journaling where it does sound but it also does not like my screen protector with poor touch sensitivity on the bottom half the screen with one on. The boox push software isn't bad either but OneNote struggles so I stopped using it. The resolution/size is just a bit small for pdf textbooks so an iPad or expensive Samsung tablet at the same price point would have served me better.
I honestly disagree that YAML is human editing friendly, the rules about where the indentations should go is not intuitive. Like when you have a key/value pair where the value is a list, are the dashes indented like this:

array:
- string one
- string two

or like this:

array:
- string one
- string two

I've found that the easiest way for me to edit YAML (when I have to, which is pretty much exclusively when dealing with CI stuff) is to write it in one of those YAML -> JSON converters online.
I have mixed feelings about this project. It appears the author primarily aimed to rewrite Vite in Rust and then found justifications for doing so. From my experience, Vite is already sufficiently fast for most needs. Adopting a new and potentially unstable project for marginal performance improvements doesn't seem justifiable.
Have you been to the US? It's mostly the food. The bread aisle in American supermarkets smells of sugar. For real. Very weird.

Also... yeah we are pretty sedentary in Europe but it's another level in America. In many parts of US cities there are literally no pavements so you can't walk even if you wanted to. I can't think of anywhere in Europe like that.
It’s funny this comes up because I’m designing an open source solar powered farming robot as a community oriented engineering project specifically to address the long tail of specialty crops:

Or you can just use Linux.
The hype curve seem to have run its course and we should prepare for the backlash against JSON.

SVG often appears embedded in HTML so it makes sense to have it use similar angle-brackets syntax. Unless they also want to recast HTML in JSON (which I’m sure someone have proposed).
> Why isn't Linux one of the options?

Because WSL 2 satisfies all my Linux needs, and yes, it runs Docker perfectly and Windows is a better desktop OS, with more tools and software.

I used to run mint, ubuntu and some others up to Windows 10 I never considered a productive machine on my desktop but this has changed during the last years and Windows is an incredibly productive machine for software development.

Anyway I'm not trying to sell anybody Windows, was just answering a pointless comment like "I don't understand why would anybody use Windows", and I answered that there's plenty of reasons and tools for me, but I ain't gonna die if you force me on other OSs too.
In my country (Sweden) we do not have a specific age restricting law regarding purchasing porn. What we do have a generic law that forbid any film in cinema and TV broadcast from being viewed by children under 7, 11 and 15 years old if viewing that film is considered harmful for that age group. What is harmful is then delegated to a government department of censorship.

A funny thing however is that the department of censorship was closed down in 2010, being at the time one of the worlds oldest with a creation date of 1911. With the closure, the above law has no longer any practical effect but the cinema industry and TV broadcast still volunteer to honor it to some degree.

Historically, the department of censorship focused mostly on violent movies, but a famous examples was the cartoon Darkwin Duck which was deemed too violent for viewing by children. Teenage violence was often connected back in the days with violent scenes in specific movies.

Public support for government censorship is currently in minority. The vast majority of people seems to think that publisher, cinema owners, parents and schools do a better job in deciding what should be viewable by children. Occasionally a specific film or game jumps into the news (like GTA 5), but they tend to die down fairly fast. Porn discussions also pop up once in a while, but they die down similarly fast since support for a return of government censorship is really low and the political parties generally know this.

The only specific law about porn we do have is displaying of porn towards people without their consent in a way that can be seen as off putting. This target behaviors like people sending nudes to others without their consent.
This is really confident nonsense. Taxes are very much involved with gains and losses, whether they’re direct costs or things like depreciating assets, companies extract a great deal of tax value off of their losses. Entire industries are built upon the very notion that with a little engineered accounting of strategic losses, companies can get away with paying egregiously little in taxes. On the other side of that, they also extract value from tax dollars with things like nutritional assistance, Medicaid, financial aid, and other means-tested social programs that contribute towards the social safety gap that their poor compensation of hourly employees is partly responsible for.
I’m not sure why, but your comments about this seem to be very contrarian, to the point of obtuse in places. Even if the framing device isn’t 100% literally consistent, the cause/effect it’s describing should be pretty clear from context. Some of the present rhetoric surrounding this kind of thing have been exaggerated or misrepresented, for example that stores that collect donations from rounding up customers’ totals are then using those donations for tax write-offs (they aren’t, it’s yours to write off).
But the problem of the working poor in the United States receiving significant amounts of government assistance while their employers lobby for right-to-work labor laws and fight union efforts and minimum wage increases is a longstanding and well documented situation. Couple that with the deference given to their interests at every level and branch of government, as well as the grossly disproportionate distribution of wealth, and it’s a glaring symptom of a larger, deep-seated disease that is horribly corrosive to the fabric of a productive, free society.
I didn't read the SEP article, but is the language of thought hypothesis perhaps already verified by our ability to do some sort of logic on neural network embeddings? E.g. queen-royal=woman.
There are only like 3 AI building companies who have the tech capability and resources to afford that and 2 of them don't even offer their chips to others or have gone back to Nvidia. The rest is manufacturers desperately trying to get a piece of the pie.

The thing that blocks up traffic at a merge is when people can't get over smoothly.

If everyone gets over at the first opportunity, then things go fine. The empty lane isn't wasted, it absorbs brief bursts in traffic that need more time to get over. But even if it was wasted, that wouldn't be a big deal. A 5-mile long section with fewer lanes and a 5.5-mile long section with fewer lanes will have almost the same throughput.

Everyone staying split across two lanes until the end and aligning themselves to do a clean zipper merge also goes fine.

What makes everything go wrong is when people drive down the nice empty lane that's ending and intend to do a normal merge at the end, but they don't start it early enough. Then everything slows down as they squeeze over.
I'd love to buy one, but it costs `undefined` USD and won't add to cart
"Therefore, the first run of the network will take ~300 ms and consecutive runs will be ~100 ms"

I only skimmed the article, but I don't think they mention the size of the image. 100ms is not that impressive when you consider that you need to be three times as fast for acceptable video frame rate.
In my limited (to one person) experience, it may not be as clear cut.

I am one of those who uses language to think. I would have an internal monologue and I would also say things out loud just to see how they sound. It's not always a fully fledged idea, or even a coherent thought for that matter. I have no idea why i do this. But that is me. In a sense, my thoughts are forming when I speak. Hence, i am somewhat better at written communication than being asked for things on the spot.

I have encountered people who when they speak, are communicating their thoughts, not formulating them unlike the way I do. I have to be careful with them because they assume I am also communicating my thought vs formulating it and that makes it sound more rigid than it is in my mind. I have seen many nerds like me who understand what thinking out loud is and are more forgiving about missteps or "wrong sounding thoughts". They are also more understanding because in our experience, that is how people tend to think.

Basically, starship is a config generator for your shell. It transforms a cross platform config file (starship.toml) into a platform specific configuration shell script, e.g.:

starship init zsh

will output something like

zmodload zsh/parameter # Needed to access jobstates variable for STARSHIP_JOBS_COUNT

# Defines a function `__starship_get_time` that sets the time since epoch in millis in STARSHIP_CAPTURED_TIME.
if [[ $ZSH_VERSION == ([1-4]*) ]]; then
# ZSH <= 5; Does not have a built-in variable so we will rely on Starship's inbuilt time function.
__starship_get_time() {
STARSHIP_CAPTURED_TIME=$(/home/andreas/bin/starship time)
}
else
zmodload zsh/datetime
zmodload zsh/mathfunc
__starship_get_time() {
(( STARSHIP_CAPTURED_TIME = int(rint(EPOCHREALTIME * 1000)) ))
}
fi
# ...
# ...

For PowerShell the output will look accordingly - the config stays the same. I've had a bunch of custom zsh / powershell config dotfiles for years now, starship just eases it out :-)
> English as a communication tool looses very little expressive power when users do not use sub-clauses.

Very little for that subset you wish to communicate, maybe.

In some literary traditions, not only are clauses nested within clauses at the sentence level, but whole narratives are nested within others.
