Here's the part that breaks down:

If restaurants were more efficient, then why are restaurants (1) more expensive, (2) using worse ingredients, (3) taking longer, and (4) have questionable quality.

Granted, I'd understand if in the good-fast-cheap triangle, you lose one, but with restaurants, most are questionable quality, take longer, and have gotten expensive.

I can make better food faster with better ingredients for a cheaper price at my own house for my own family, as long as we did some thi king ahead and planning. On top of that, when I make a new recipe, I learn how to make something new with new ingredients that helps me do more exotic dishes in the future.

It's not entirely clear to me restaurants are the theoretical economic efficient location that is claimed. Even if you use fast food, their prices have gotten higher and quality even more questionable on the already garbage quality they had.

It seems to me there is more efficiency in people learning to make their own food, and cooking better at home - both in the results and the discipline on the person. Sometimes decentralization is more efficient than centralization, and I think this is an example.

I will say optimizing grocery delivery makes alot more sense ro me than restaurant delivery.
Then we could assume that the interior of the black hole looks just like our universe, since our universe is smaller than its Schwarzschild radius. Basically we want to show that the interior space time of a black hole can be relatively flat.

The problem to solve then is to calculate what happens at the edge of such a universe, and try to match that with what happens at the edge of a black hole, since those two would be the two sides.

To unify that with QFT you'd have to include the particle collapse (or entanglement if you want to use the many worlds wording), where the quantum field would collapse to where the particle suddenly is inside the black hole instead of outside. I have long theorized that there is no way to unify the theories without using quantum collapses, so black holes could engulf particles via quantum field collapses only.

The math for such collapses isn't fully established though, so it would need to have more theories on the quantum side as well. But at least that means nobody has developed a theory like this yet.

The main calculation would be to calculate the probability of a particle collapsing into the black hole over time, by calculating how large part of the particle field is inside the critical area were it would be inside the new black hole radius. The particle and the black hole would get entangled for a bit where it is both inside and outside the black hole at the same time, and then the field collapses and it is fully inside.

I think that can actually work! Then the black holes event horizon is a natural quantum effect, which could potentially provide the missing link between the two.
> I thought firefox on ios was just safari with a reskin

It is. It does avoid some of the tracking/ad content, so I guess it does do some things somewhat differently. But if it's such a scourge, add a favicon.

BTW, I've never seen this, and I regularly use Firefox on iOS to test.

For anyone starting to take Niacin get the “anti flush.”

I’m sure the flush varies by individual but for me the burning/itching sensation is pretty intense for 30-45 minutes.
> Naively I would assume we know where the sun is and how to calculate the angles. What are drones and AI doing?

Yes, you know exactly where the sun is in a global coordinate system.

The problem is that your mirrors are not fixed in that global coordinate system.

You need to continuously re-calibrate the local coordinate system of the mirrors against the global system.
> In a world where physical media is no longer relevant

Debatable. IMO print is the best medium for long-form written and grapgical narative work.

Streaming media can’t be lent and is locked up by excessive and arbitrary (from the consumer’s PoV) rights leveraging.

Given physical media is declining, yet more functional for its archive potential, Imd say it was now more relevant than ever.
It's a small-scale prototype of a much larger plant:

Hey! Nice project! I think you mixed JSON with JavaScript objects, they are not the same.
ChatGPT fails miserably at questions like this. It cherrypicks various data points and arbitrarily runs sums.on them, convoluting nuance and meaning, conflating disparate or overlapping measures, and presents them as fact.

Always ask it to quote all its sources, and check them.

You've been heavily downvoted for good reason.
I think people are getting confused between using something and redistributing it. If you train an AI or build a search engine index, or your browser caches a webpage, you're just using it, and it was put on the web so that it can be used, without any restrictions on what for (except perhaps when the permission to even download it is granted conditionally on how you use it as Suleyman mentioned). Copyright restricts copying, not private use. Since it's on the web, there really is an implied permission to use it privately for whatever you want.

The copyright issue only comes up if you publish the output of your model. But if the AI is (somehow) clever enough to never reproduce the source material in any way that counts as copying for the purposes of copyright, then there's no copyright problem making it available to the public.

Some artists assume they have more rights than they really do and that other people aren't even allowed to mimic their style.

Physical media? Rarely, I don't recall the last time I read a book or magazine.

Digital media? All the time. Love reading articles and fiction online, just don't care much for the physical object it's often printed on.
Surprised i had to scroll this far. A lot of people don't seem to notice vanity when it's masked by enough confidence.
Diversity is statistical evidence that a group (team, company, whatever) is not making the mistake of prioritizing "just like us" over quality. Similar for having too-narrow experience, and being prone to group-think, and having some nasty bigotry baggage, and weak recruiting, and ...

But 99.9% of humanity doesn't understand statistics. And if offered a cheap way to virtue-signal, most large groups are happy to fake it.
In my experience, any third-party dependency will inevitably eventually be in-sourced. Third-party dependencies are technical debt - they let you make fast progress initially, but have recurring maintenance costs.

Wrapping the API lets you see, all in one place, the surface area of an external API that is in use, and minimizes the changes required here when reimplementing it.

---

Also, not that Clean Code is any great authority (but it is popular!):

> [Wrapping] third-party APIs is a best practice. When you wrap a third-party API, you minimize your dependencies upon it: You can choose to move to a different library in the future without much penalty. Wrapping also makes it easier to mock out third-party calls when you are testing your own code.

> One ﬁnal advantage of wrapping is that you aren’t tied to a particular vendor’s API design choices. You can deﬁne an API that you feel comfortable with.
I disagree that blindly executing like a robot is excellent. A truly excellent product happens when people go above and beyond, and think of the little yet related things, instead of doing everything literally and exactly as told and not giving a shit about the end result.

I’m curious about alternatives that offer good file-based routing support. Has anyone seen any good alternatives?
Because it is. When using OpenSuse, I still had to go looking for packages that weren't in the official repos.

> plus PPAs in the form of other OBS repositories if you really need them, but you almost certainly don't

This is extremely presumptive and wrong. I find it very frustrating that any issues with these official repos is dismissed as "oh but you don't need extra PPAs ever". My guy, yes, I do. It happens way too often and it's very frustrating when it does, because the options for handling it in non-Arch based distros are completely insufficient and terrible.

But then again, what do I expect. Any complaints about Linux are pretty much always dismissed out of hand.

I actually prefer using Windows because Windows users generally aren't such arrogant pricks when there are issues.
I was building a big monolith angular (v8 at the time) app a few years ago and I think my old coworkers from that job would get a laugh from hearing me reminisce about it!

Angular is actually very nicely laid out as a front end framework. I’m finding the modern react ecosystem more obtuse than old angular apps.
But they aren't always!
Scary, that's all I can say.
You are confusing content for expression/listening. It’s like confusing a computer for electricity. That or you are merely misusing the word purpose.

If you want to be better at interpersonal communication you need to be excellent at listening. Empaths find this comes naturally but people with learning disabilities and/or autism will find this impossibly challenging while perhaps convincing themselves of self-mastery.

Listening and expression come in three dimensions: verbal (the words), vocal (use of voice), and physical (the rest of the body). You need to pay attention to all three. Dishonesty is when those three are in conflict. Most people are not good at this and have no idea just how bad they are at it.
People of different ages and background bring different perspectives. Yet for you, it seems you consider that tying your hands behind your back. Strange. I never had difficulty understanding each other with competent people regardless of age.
"I think that with respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the 1990s has been it is fair use"

This argument cannot possibly hold in any court. This has not been the 'contract'. I cannot reproduce the content of a newspapers online outlet, I cannot reproduce the art of another artist on Instagram, I cannot reproduce someones Youtube video without permission. This same thing sparked the whole fair-use debate some years ago.

The exceptions to these rules have always existed in limbos of regulatory grey areas and are being discussed for decades now.

This guy is still living in the Napster-era apparently and the amount of gaslighting Microsoft, OpenAI, Google etc. perform right now to freeload on data is presumptuous.
I get it, everything adds up and over millions of page-loads there will be a bit of wasted bandwidth. But it seems the original author blew this issue out of proportion with this post. Why even be annoyed by such a minor issue?
"If you don't have enough money to sue us, your copyright doesn't exist."
In this case, using a CDN in front of the server is the thing which would improve things for people with limited bw/hw more quickly and to a greater extent than counting the fetches by Firefox on iOS and calling it out for fetching too much

Quite easy to implement oneself, I would say.
gotta hand it to the hackers, they implemented a counter that goes up by one each time you refresh the page, the way it should be.
Firefox on Android is not amazing, it is on the contrary quite annoying and has gotten more so over the years

* Tabs get stuck frequently, and can only be revived by closing, then undoing close.

* Can no longer access about:config in release builds

* Bookmarks got demoted in favor of Pocket, can no longer set bookmarks as default home page

* URL autocompletion got dumbed down, first on mobile and then also on desktop

* etc.
UBlock Origin should help too, once you block those JS trackers and ads.
There is also this issue

To address this, we will measure Telemetry Coverage, which is the percentage of all Firefox users who report telemetry. The Telemetry Coverage measurement will sample a portion of all Firefox clients and report whether telemetry is enabled. This measurement will not include a client identifier and will not be associated with our standard telemetry.

Even if you turn telemetry off it will still call home

Relax. No-one is taking your precious jQuery from you.
Well, never use a dependency that you couldn't write or maintain yourself. It's really quite simple. As soon as you use a dependency, you take ownership of that code within your project. If you need changes made that the dependency owner isn't willing to do then fork the dependency. If you can't do that, don't use that dependency.

The actual advantage of open source is that you actually have access to the code, create a fork and maintain it yourself if things go south.

Try making a picture of people working in an office with any diffusion model.

It looks like the stock photo cover for that mandatory course you hated.

Even adding keywords like “everyday” doesn’t help. And a fear it’s going to be worse in a few years when this stuff constitutes the majority of the input.
Software tools backed by businesses that target enterprises have very strong pressures towards obscurity, complexity, and generally optimizing for institutional goals and away from development experience and effectiveness. As tools that get developer adoption move up market they get worse and worse for the folks building with them.
I agree. Mortality is a one-trick-pony, and there are other metrics that can measure quality of life that are better
Saying "diversity will make us richer" allows a company to both appease Wall Street and the DEI fashionistas. At least for a few quarters. And for modern business leaders, why care about anything further out?
This is what you get when the voting system is pretty much the worst you can come up with. https://ncase.me/ballot/
Your comment is a traditional understanding of copyright, pre-AI tools. The point is that this old model increasingly seems inadequate when a megacorporation can functionally copy and reproduce your work to an extremely close, but not exact, degree and then claim they did nothing wrong.
>The transition to EVs - which is a hard necessity to solve climate change

If we're talking about batteries, trains don't need them. While we'll never get rid of cars/trucks entirely, we are massively overdependent on cars/trucks for the bulk of our transport and (land-based) shipping needs. Especially in cities.

That's certainly a hard limit for a cell with a single P-N junction. However, with a bit of ingenuity, we can do much better than that; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley%E2%80%93Queisser_limi...
No it's not. It's slow and buggy. You can also use an adblocking DNS like AdGuard and have adblocking system-wide. Yes I know uBlock blocks a bit better but DNS-blocking suffices. Also, there are other browsers with integrated adblockers based on Chromium.
All this negative sentiment around the App Router like in this post made me really scared to adopt it.

I've just been working with it for the past 2 months and absolutely love it. The biggest reason being the ability call functions directly from server- or client-side code! You basically only need to write API endpoints now for externally-facing services. Saves so much time and boilerplate...

Yes it is more complex than Pages Router. And while I'm a staunch advocate for simplicity where possible, I do think the tradeoff is worth it for new projects. It just takes a bit getting used to. The negativity feels a bit like hooks all over again tbh...
When I first discovered Next.js, it was like finding a gold-mine. I no longer had to use an express server and couple that with React and manage all the crazy configs. Next.js was so simple, everything just worked!

The docs were absolutely amazing, dev server was super fast, the build times were fast, I could easily create server side and static sites, host them on Vercel easily, good times all around.

Then came the Vercel + React partnership and it took things in a different direction. Now React almost became a child of Vercel. All of a sudden, the focus instantly shifted to server side from what was earlier client side & server side both. Breaking changes, added complexity and the strange co-existence of 2 routers, out of which the old one (which works perfectly fine btw) is certainly set to become obsolete in the near future leaving us with no choice but to move to this 'new' router.

Next.js app router is extremely slow. You don't even need to do anything special, just compare the dev server compile times of Next.js v12 vs v14, the performance has decreased. The dev server sometimes occupies gigabytes of memory, why?

Can I also mention the 'new' but worse file-based routing system that forces every page to be named page.tsx? Who thought that was a good idea? They simply copied Sveltekit. This even forced the VSCode team to introduce a way to edit the tab names because every page being called page.tsx is undoubtedly worse DX!

All good things come to an end, and I certainly feel this way now with Next.js. I was a proponent, I recommended it to everybody who was looking to build apps with React but now? I'm not so sure anymore, considering how confused they are about their own decisions (refer to the v14's caching controversy).

I'll be jumping ship to a better product as soon as I find one (and I'm sure there will be in the future). For now, I'm just sticking because of the years of familiarity with React.js and Next.js. They have served me well but Next.js has simply become Outdated.js as far as the future is concerned.
I mean, the potential always exist, but I would rather avoid much JS at all and only use a minimal amount of it, which is usually not what JS frameworks intend to let you do.

Diversity means diversity of thought, or experiencing a different culture. It's not about race or color, which is the focus of most anglo world.

I've been working with people from Italy, the Balkans and Ukraine for a product. That has been the most true diverse project I've have ever been involved. And this people's input in the product actually mattered.

But of course this didn't allow for clear virtue-signaling because everyone was white, and we had balkan sick jokes involved.

For most companies diversity is just a checklist.
> Other things like [...] vitamin D might be beneficial for specific people with deficiencies but realistically you'll get more health benefit by just fixing your diet

If you're from a sunny place in November~February, please package me some sunlight for breakfast!

The linked site has no search results for either D or vitamin D, I guess search is broken. I'm not aware that any regular diet typically comes with sufficient vitamin D, hence people in higher latitudes (like most of Europe) with indoor jobs being commonly deficient and using supplements rather than "just" fixing their diet

My doctor prescribed vitamin D after blood work for unrelated reasons, which I take in months where I don't think I'm getting enough sunlight on my skin. This is most of the year, since even if you were outside for 6 hours in winter, you were probably still wrapped in jackets, hats, shoes, gloves, etc.

I think a lot of that comes down to taking care of one’s own health, the whole life long. Maybe a bit zany comparison, but: That 60’s old timer car that’s still in good shape and can drive - it’s seen a lot of care and likely no accidents (a result of being careful).

> But that means torrents of Windows are freeware!

For many, many years now, if you need Windows you can just download it from Microsoft and run simple, non-intrusive activation procedure (not from Microsoft) after installation. No cracks needed. As much security as hip high front porch gate.

So even for MS the understanding was that these things are de facto freeware for anyone that wants them at all.
There is no space for 256 bits: 192 bits is 96 bits from the underlying nonce space, and 96 bits that go into the 128-bit CMAC block (along with the necessary prefix). We could make the CMAC input longer, but then we'd have to run the AES-256 block function more times (and we'd hit some annoying key control issues in the CMAC KDF).

This is actually similar to why XChaCha20Poly1305 has 192-bit nonces, and consistency with the other major extended-nonce AEAD is another mild advantage.
Goodhart's law will always strike down any quantifiable way of forcing diversity in a place. If diversity doesn't come naturally from within an organisation, it will never work as intended and in many cases actually make the place worse than before. As soon as management makes this a goal, run.
I don't think you'd be breaking the law doing that. As long as you don't reproduce any of the MS-owned material in your output. Data isn't protected by copyright (in the US at least), so your AI could extract the knowledge from some text and present it in its own different way.
Or that the metrics we use to judge these things disproportionately rank white men better even if they probably aren't the way we should be identifying "best" candidates?
I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author's name on the shore.

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.
