Effectively what you've just said is: You can still do all these pursuits, as long as you're literally the best in the world. That's not really helpful; that's still ikigai-doom.

The point is: If your passion is animation, you can probably find work doing that today. It might suck, certainly more than in times past, and its hard, and that's an intrinsic part of passion. When AI can do that, maybe the best animators in the world will still find work at some bespoke studio making "the authentic hand-made stuff", like a farmers market, but AI may make everything else. And it may be, not just because AI could produce it "better" (it may or may not), but definitely because AI will produce it cheaper. Capitalism doesn't generally care about quality.

And the same goes for many careers: the ironic thing is that AI probably won't come for the plumbers and janitors very quickly, and there seems to be some kind of weird correlation between the jobs people find high passion in, and the jobs AI is likely to replace. In effect, we're evolving into a world where humans are relegated to manual labor, while AI handles everything else, poorly, but humans can't actually make a living doing that other stuff because AI does it so much cheaper and good enough.

But sure; there will still be millionaire status celebs.
Japan and Korea are the main exceptions. In Austria and Switzerland, over 26% and over 37% of the population are first or second generation immigrants. Switzerland also has plenty of foreign workers who live on the other side of the border.

I got curious about Switzerland, so I looked on Wikipedia, which says, "As of 2023, resident foreigners made up 26.3% of Switzerland's population. Most of these (83%) were from European countries. Italy provided the largest single group of foreigners, providing 14.7% of total foreign population, followed closely by Germany (14.0%) . . ."

So, they have a lot of immigrants, but they're clearly giving preference to immigrants from cultural backgrounds very similar to them.
the article says this capsule is only rated for a 45 day stay. it did not say why only 45 days, but that count down started on June 6. they also did not say what would happen if those days elapse. do they just push it away from the shuttle and let it just become space trash? some sort of auto return on a intentional burn up in atmosphere trajectory?
Wait a second. Do you mean there is no sync possibility? Because the browser storage is far from reliable. I don't see this as "safe" if the data is not synced or backed up somewhere else.
Maybe the person isn't libertarian then and you just misread said libertarian undertones? I'm not sure what's the point here, he can argue for some positions that might be libertarian in isolation, without being libertarian at all.

Do you agree that humans should be free to associate with other humans for example? Does that make you a libertarian? What about cannabis prohibition?
I agree with all the points you made. Windows is very open in many ways - at least relative to MacOS. In my main laptop, I have 2 SSD slots and the memory is also swappable. Not to mention what's possible with something like the Framework laptops.

Meanwhile, Linux may be far more open, but a lot of hardware might not work at 100% feature parity (e.g. various peripherals, especially anything bluetooth).

It's also true that the interop situation has gotten far better on Windows. WSL works very well. But I'd also say that all 3 main OSs have much better interop than in the past. For example, gaming on Linux is more than viable, thanks to Valve. Finally, The Browser has become an OS of its own. And Electron-based apps like VSCode, Discord, and many others, are multiplatform.

Personally, I find all the 3 of the main OSs to be very compelling and impressive. They each have their own set of pros and cons. For someone who just wants things to work, MacOS is a great choice - but one that feels quite limiting (but some people feel a sense of freedom in that, actually). Windows also works very well in that regard. It's just that for many, it feels like Microsoft is treating us Windows-folk as dumb cattle and that they are taking our loyalty for granted. Meanwhile, Linux.. is hard to define. It's a lot of things and it's a constantly moving target. For me, I have found Linux on the desktop to have the most pain points. Not ones that I cannot manage or work around, but ones I'd rather not have to deal with.

> "Nobody puts in hard word if it's not rewarded" hasnt the cURL guy been maintaining cURL/libcurl for decades and gets paid nothing?

If you replace "nobody" with "very few people" then the statement is mostly true. The vast majority of open source software is crap. Sure, a lot of it is passion projects made by enthusiasts, and there's nothing wrong with that from an artistic hobbyist standpoint, but the quality of the software is very low.

Good and successful open source software is, in terms of numbers, rare.

Furthermore, most good FLOSS has at least some companies providing financial support, if not being almost exclusively worked on by employees of a company selling non-FLOSS software to pay the salaries of those devs.

Developers putting in hard work to write quality software for free do exist, of course, and many of them are absolute gigachads, but they're dwarfed by those actually getting paid to write software.
There are many concepts in our thought stream without a 'word' or even a simple 'phrase' to label them.

A word or a common phrase is coined when a concept is sufficiently common and important enough such that someone comes up with a label to communicate the idea succinctly and the label catches on.

We, humanity, have words or common phrases to label the vast majority of significant concepts. However, not every concept is accorded such importance in every language. Some common words in other languages without direct translation in English:

* 積ん読 (Tsundoku) (Japanese): Buying books and never reading them, just letting them pile up.

* น้ำใจ (Nam-jai) (Thai): Literally "water from the heart". Being very nice and helpful without expecting anything back.

* 关系 (Guanxi) (Mandarin): Your network of connections that help you get stuff done in life and business.

This is perhaps another line of evidence to support the thesis of the article.

Make no mistake though: Language is extremely useful for some types of thoughts, especially more abstract ones. Not everyone, however, uses it as their primary tool for thinking.

-----

The above also helps explain some limitations of LLMs, such as their inadequate spatial intelligence. Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) start to address these issues by using much more granular data than language alone.
Financilization of the economy, is when the finance sector(real estate,stock market,banks,insurance) grows faster than all other sectors of the economy. Cycle ends in 2 ways valuations reset after a bust or debt is written off after a bust.

That said what happens at the scale of the economy is like talking about an ocean. What an individual fish does is upto the fish.

I assume you're right, but it's still quite absurd. Apple has recently released applications written natively in WinUI (iCloud for Windows). So Apple can more easily hire/train WinUI developers than Microsoft?

I'd accept the "difficulty" excuse from a company like Walmart. But we're talking about a (relatively) small number of built-in mini applications here, inside a tech-specialised company that created, maintains and presumably promotes this native framework.
False dichotomy. Of course language is for communication like in all other animals, but where would man be without the invention of the language of mathematics? Probably not in the space and nuclear age. So the linguistic tools can push the boundaries of human cognition.

It would be like if Mozilla decided to stop taking any google funding overnight because they felt like their values didn't fit with Google's. Sure, it would be well intentioned. But then you also guaranteed that Firefox won't be able to exist for more than a few weeks.

It would be a nice thing to have, but it's not something you get by just getting wrecked in an open and shut case in court.

Too Lazy To Click (TLTC):

TLDR: We test LLMs to figure out how helpful they are for designing a circuit board. We focus on utility of frontier models (GPT4o, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5) across a set of design tasks, to find where they are and are not useful. They look pretty good for building skills, writing code, and getting useful data out of datasheets.

TLDRN'T: We do not explore any proprietary copilots, or how to apply a things like a diffusion model to the place and route problem.
Thanks for your advice. Eidos is more like a PDM tool rather than a PKM tool, but it can be used as a PKM with some extensions, just as the introduction says, it's an extensible framework.

I've used the tools you mentioned and more. None of them have a powerful table, which is one of the reasons I decided to create Eidos. Eidos can handle large amounts of data like Excel. Anytype/Outline cannot do this.

I plan to follow Obsidian's model, with the core being always free. here is some plans:
- publish service (subscription-based)
- peer-to-peer data synchronization (One-time payment, like Resilio sync)
- an extension store that benefits developers (still a rough idea in my mind)

well, recently, there was a compromised update to a software package and the recommendation was to roll back to a previous version. there are definite times when removing the latest not-so-greatest for a previous version is the best solution. there's no reason to lose the plot in your ranting. you just lose credibility in your arguments at that point

$80000 is reasonable? $55 for one pack of Shingles, maybe some drywall patch, perhaps it damaged some roof sheathing, but that can be mostly papered over with asphalt patch most likely.

>Personally, I think the inclusion of housekeeping services during a stay is a big differentiator, perhaps because it demonstrates intent to serve a transient clientele.

Yes, although a lot of hotels moved away from daily service during the pandemic and stayed there. Which is just fine by me.

If I were to stay longer than a week I'd probably cast my lodging net a bit wider. But hotels (or regular B&Bs, especially outside of cities) meet my needs pretty well for the most part. I have used AirBnB but I'm guessing the standard deviation is higher though I haven't had a bad (small sample) experience.

Even laundry which a number of people mention isn't really a big deal for the most part. I tend to optimize things that can be given a quick wash in the sink. I have stayed in ApartHotels with a laundry room and at B&Bs that will run a cheap load for you for longer trips involving more mud etc. And I've used a wash and fold place on a few occasions. Even as a very light packer, I've never felt the need to do laundry every few days.
What would anyone have NASA do? Surely in the circumstances what they are doing, is the BATNA pending more information?

In the end, turning the crew into long duration stayers until a dragon capsule and suits to fit can turn up, or negotiate with the Russians may be a better outcome than repeating engineer fear of losing face a la "o" ring decision logic.

Should we apply that logic to gplv3 code too? Just basically disregard the license since knowledge should be completely free? Or maybe impose some burden on the maintainers to keep the code active and constantly changed so that the codebase doesn't lose its license after an arbitrary period of time?

I'm genuinely wondering , because to me there's a clear parallel yet in tech circles we almost always see defense of copyleft code (which I totally agree with, I'm extremely pro GPL) and a very heavy bias towards maintainers. I know GPL code is already free but we are talking automatically putting copyrighted/licensed material in the public domain which isn't GPL compatible.

> was he personally responsible for covering the loss? Did any of the planes that came in for the assist send a bill for their time as well?

I doubt it. People in 1955 had a different (and, IMHO, more balanced) outlook on things like this. Sometimes weird flukes happen. I imagine their default mindset was "Thank goodness no one was hurt" and not "who can we place the blame on and hold legally liable." The plane rental company probably had insurance which covered the loss of the plane and everyone moved on.

imo, it's the same reason that Grace Hopper designed COBOL to write programs instead of math notation.

What natural language processing does is just make a much smarter (and dumber, in many ways) parser that can make an attempt to infer the intent, as well as be instructed how to recover from mistakes.

Personally I'm a skeptic since I've seen some hilariously bad hallucinations in generated code (and unlike a human engineer who will say "idk but I think this might work" instead of "yessir this is the solution!"). If you have to double check every output manually it's not that much better than learning yourself. However, at least with programming tasks, LLMs are fantastic at giving wrong answers with the right vocabulary - which makes it possible to check and find a solution through authoritative sources and references instead of blindly analyzing a problem or paying a human a lot of money to tell you the answer to your query.

For example, I don't use LLMs to give me answers. I use them to help explore a design space, particularly by giving me the vocabulary to ask better questions. And that's the real value of a conversational model today.
To be fair, Linux configuration is not exactly straightforward in comparison to Windows. Dozens of obscure config files (each with a different syntax), stored in various random places in the filesystem, with the general expectation that every user should be able to run a terminal command once in a while to fix something.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Linux lover and user, but from an outside perspective Windows registry (a central, structured database of configuration for everything) looks easier.

Honestly I know that used to be true, but how true is that today? Laborers in the USA don’t have great standards either. What proportion of the cost reduction comes from lower labor standards and what proportion comes from the fact that they absolutely have invested more in manufacturing than we have?

I order my PCBAs from JLCPCB in China and they’re about 1/10th the cost of ordering something from the USA. But you can watch a factory tour, it’s not some horrible labor conditions it’s huge highly automated machines:
https://youtu.be/jTBOSob5MLg

They just invested more than we did.

So maybe their labor conditions are still worse than ours, by some amount, but it’s more than just saving on labor that got their prices low.

I really hope there will be some way in the future to get a version of Windows (that's not for enterprise users) which gives you the choice to have Microsoft butt out of the daily running, appearance, and settings of your computer.

I have not looked much at the OS-modding scene recently, but there used to be huge communities around deep customisation, and they produced "distros" of Windows with very different defaults and much of the annoyances removed, and popular useful thirdparty software installed. It's not 100% legal of course, and that "choice to have Microsoft butt out" is usually an absolute --- no updates at all except ones you manually install, some things might not work (possibly a feature for some), and you are truly on your own (with the community) with those mods.

I switched to Ubuntu from Windows gradually over the last two years and have now dropped Windows entirely. I agree, Ubuntu isn't perfect, but I was a Windows user for about 25 years and the difference in terms of control is night and day.

By the end, it was like Windows was shoving me into things like OneDrive that I hadn't (at least deliberately) installed, didn't want to use, and didn't understand. This set me up for a risk of breaking things when I'd treat it like the regular Windows filesystem, and eventually I did break Windows and had to reinstall.

I've had none of these problems with Ubuntu. I wouldn't be surprised if alternative Linuxes are even better, but I'm satisfied enough with Ubuntu that trying alternatives isn't a priority.

While I agree with you, the registry is the windows way of hiding away config files. It's either the GUI, or it's the registry.

Linux alternatively uses config files directly meant to be altered by the end user. It's less user-friendly, but better than the registry.

The real crime is having a registry in the first place instead of a .config directory.
