Chalmers' argument is more of an intuition pump to clarify your thinking. If premise 2 seems plausible, then you probably cannot be a physicalist. If you're a die-hard physicalist, then you probably have to deny premise 1 and/or 2.

Perhaps it should be called Systemd/GNU/Linux these days.

Beyond glibc and coreutils, does GNU really bring much to the party any more? Bash - don't use it. Clang seems to be inexorably taking over from gcc.

Several -

My most recent was to manage dumbbell work outs.

Problem:

1) I hated changing weights in the middle of a session

2) Wanted to manage progression

Situation - I have 4 metal sets of dumbbell handles, a plastic set, some individual 3 - 5 pound pairs. A single, dial the weight dumbbell. Plates in metal range from 10 lbs to 0.25 lbs.

The SW:

1) using SQLite for DB

2) One application to calculate optimum weight settings - typical run takes 100 to 200 tries to get the best set.

3) Another application to present / track sessions. It was a BIG timer display to ensure I do not do the workout too fast (goal is 45 sec a set)

4) A tracking report.

Complexity issues:
Not all dumbbell handles weigh the same - even the tightening nuts vary. Solution was to weigh everything and pair up the nuts so that each dumbbell handle with nuts matched its pair - oh I color coded the metal dumbbell handles.

First algorithm took too long - my first version would calculate ALL combinations of all weights. Then select the optimal solution - before adding the 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 pound plates would take between 15 to 30 minutes to run. This was solved with a slightly more complex algorithm. I calculated the all combinations for each dumbbell. Merged those lists into a big list, Found the perfect setting for each exercise. Check for conflicts. When a conflict occurred, found the exercise with the least delta from optimal and changed it to the next weight setting.... Check for conflict. Now it takes no more than 20 sec and reports 100 to 200 times it hit conflict before solving.
Ask HN: Best alternatives to iCloud Photos in 2024?
I would love to finally move away from iCloud. Files and the rest is easy to replace, but not Photos so far.

One reason: I love to scroll through my Photos on the Apple TV. I cannot believe no-one created a comparable experience on this platform yet!

Has anyone recommendations?

Both of my cars are stock and are like fireworks going off if I lift off the throttle. So this isn't just a modified car thing, a lot of cars made in the last 10 years pop, bang, and fart from the factory.

If police started ticketing me, I'd probably just sell the cars since tuning either car is a pain in the ass (locked ECUs). Granted, police are already ticketing people with stock exhaust.
For anyone else wondering: your body is continually pulling calcium from your bones for metabolic processes. Usually it gets replaced when you consume something with calcium in it.

It makes sense to have somewhere to store extra nutrients so you can keep functioning for a long time between taking in those specific nutrients again.

Your body does this with a lot of your organs. Fat is obviously calorie storage, but muscles can also be resorbed for energy under starvation conditions (or just when they're under used). Your kidneys can resorb water from stored urine, and your intestines pull most water out of what you consume. Most neurotransmitters and hormones get recycled at various rates and turned into new molecules.

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I know of offhand.

Some SMTP/POP3 scripts that I use in various languages to automate email management.

An ffmpeg script that converts an MP3 coupled with a static image to an MP4 so that I can upload podcasts to YouTube. I did provide this on a Twitter/X post once, so maybe it's not something I've kept to myself very well.

Some ffmpeg scripts to convert M4A audio file to MP3.

I have a web page that just displays the current time every second that I use when timing things. It's all very simple client-side JS.

I don't see the disconnect.

Since there is an interface point where the NLP is translated into some image generation call path, presumably, the response generation can see that it only got 1 image back instead of n. Even a system prompt could be added to normalize the output text portion of the response.
P-zombies are supposed to be physically identical to humans. They’re problematic because they lack consciousness, yet mysteriously talk about it anyway — among other reasons.

Advanced AI is definitely not physically identical to humans, and there’s a well understood reason why they might talk about consciousness despite lacking it which doesn’t apply to p-zombies.
That is AWESOME! I would love to see what you did for this. Even more I would love to build the same.
All the big email services in Poland (WP, Onet, Interia, O2, ...) were always crap riddled with ads. I don't know why people still stick with it instead of migrating to something like Gmail.
ISTM that packing all that goodness (?) into the compiler stack itself is moving away from what I want where the compiler is a plain-Jane source transform and its inputs and outputs are very well specified and predictable. That’s where the ecosystem of tools comes in, and when done right I think tools should be very easy and straightforward to use and create. I often feel modern languages get this wrong by “including” too many “batteries” instead of specifying and documenting their build / dependency semantics clearly and providing good tools or libraries for working with and composing those elements of build.

Far too few language ecosystems provide any kind of libraries for it whatsoever, even for working with syntax / AST. I really can only think of Clang and Go, and Go’s tool libraries aren’t very accessible IMO.
Oh if only it were that gracious. My impression was FSF spent some time scolding us that we should wait for Hurd (not to mention Guile). But the Hurd project got deeply bogged down and never got to usability. The closest to admitting reality was the time Stallman started saying we should talk about "GNU/Linux" and not "Linux".

The break even point is around $360 per shot. PrEP costs ~$2/pill.

Arguably a slightly higher cost, like $400 or even $500, is worth it given the higher effectiveness and the fact that you don't run the risk of forgetting it.

Cheaper is definitely better.

Core 2 as an individual core was significantly better than AMD's competing core (e.g. by being able to issue 4 simultaneous instructions vs. 3 instructions for AMD).

Nevertheless, the integration of multiple cores into an Intel multiprocessor was very inefficient before Nehalem (i.e. the cores were competing for a shared bus, which prevented them from ever reaching their maximum aggregate throughput, unlike in the AMD multiprocessors, which had inherited the DEC Alpha structure, with separate memory links and peripheral interfaces and with an interconnection network between cores, like all CPUs use now).

However this was noticeable at that time mostly in the server CPUs and much less in the consumer CPUs, as there were few multithreaded applications.

Core 2 still lagged behind AMD's cores for various less mainstream applications, like computations with big integers.

Only 2 generations later, after Core 2 and Penryn, with Nehalem (the first SKU at the end of 2008, but the important SKUs in 2009) Intel has become able to either match or exceed AMD's cores in all applications.
I really want to get ve Hubris a try on a proper project (https://hubris.oxide.computer/reference/).

As an architectural approach it aligns closely with what I am going for in embedded land, but in C with more pain. And is not dissimilar to what you do in Erlang/Elixir in hosted land.

You know that the RAE [1] work together with the Asociacion de Academias de la Lengua Española (ASALE) [2], right? You are showing the RAE in bad light, while both the RAE and the ASALE work together when creating new editions of the dictionary or new grammar rules.

About your "neologisms", no they are calcos or loan translations [3], they are not neologisms. They would be neologisms if they were new words, not copy of words from other languages.

I am also unclear on how much of a concern leakage is on a SSD. If I leave it disconnected on a shelf for a year, will it have lost data? I have seen some reports that SSDs need to be refreshed regularly, which makes then ill suited for cold storage (eg leave an offsite backup at parents).

aside, the adage "don't roll your own crypto," has this funny side effect of homogenization where a weakness empowers an attacker against the maximum number of targets and makes mass interception more cost effective.

I've found that interoperability across diverse implementations is ironically the best protection against schemes that weaken rngs and key entropy to facilitate mass interception. independent implementations become a proof of a protocol or algorithm implementation. if there is only one functional implementation of something, it's where I would look first.

Some are not bad, but some are awful. It's going to depend. A microkernel means more context switches, so in general it should be guaranteed to lose. By a lot if you get into the really pathological cases.
Well, we built Trunk Check to address some of these issues. Maybe it'll suit your org better.

- We support hold-the-line: we only lint on diffs so you can refactor as you go. Gradual adoption.
- Use existing configs: use standard OSS tools you know. Trunk Check runs them with standardized rules and output format.
- Better config management: define config within each repo and still let you do shared configs across the org by defining your own plugin repos.
- Better ignores: You can define line and project level ignores in the repo
- Still have nightly reporting: We do let you run nightly on all changes and report them to track code base health and catch high-risk vulnerabilities and issues. There's a web app to view everything.

Try it and let me know how it goes.

Yeah I agree. Being constrained to a relatively low resolution and memory makes everything a lot more approachable and more fun for me.

Obviously I could have as much flexibility as I want if I learned Vulkan and wrote all the graphics calls myself, but of course that's really hard and time consuming. Pico-8 being restricted makes it easy for me to quickly hack something together just for fun.

Really, but you also failed the imagination test on how to do it.

AFAIK this is all Ruzzian propaganda for idiots int he West, same idiots that believe Zelenksy bought a new mansion and sports car this week or that Macron and Obama's Wives are men.

I am sure it is much easier to grab rocket secrets by using the KGB methods then a soldier smuggling a rocket in a way nobody seems to imagine yet.

Did you see today Ruzzian shit propaganda? There was a video a week ago I think where a Ruzzian soldier that was wounded was mercy killed by other Ruzzian soldier, the Zeds on the reddits were defending this move and seems that today or yesterday the Ruzzian national TV used this video but labeled as Ukrainians doing it and considering it evil. I am waiting to see the online trolls spinning this, they were paid to comment that is normal what the Ruzzian did and now they are paid to claim the video is about Ukrainians.

Something more clear is totally different than reconstructing.

If an artists rendition of what it might have looked like would be useful, then genAI may be cheaper for that task. But we wouldn't call an artist's rendition of what it might have looked like "reconstructing".

And you couldn't be much more wrong about how much I like and use generative AI.

Thanks for the color! From the article you linked, it looks like the Twitter thread is quite misleading in claiming that Intel simply slapped two cores together to achieve superiority over AMD. Your article notes a big process improvement (65nm vs 90nm) which allowed for 2x the transistors on a smaller die size along with faster clock and lower memory latency. Curious to get your take.

In the best case: Just deal with it proactively. Watch supplies, try to stay informed. You mitigate what you can to stretch things out (making French toast in a skillet outside on the BBQ grill in the aftermath of a winter storm may be the best way to use available energy and feed people a tasty meal, even if it does seem absurd). Plan to leave before things become unmanageable, and adjust that plan as things change, and be willing to resolutely execute that plan before things go from bad to worse.

If you forecast that your supplies will be very slim on day 5, and you haven't left for greener pastures by day 3 or 4, then the the worst case is already unfolding. GTFO before the worst-case ever happens.

But in that worst case: One can call on someone else for help. This is one of those situations where it's time to cash in some favors, and/or where it pays off to always be friendly and helpful with to the neighbors even if they really seem like a bunch of assholes. (The time to start being friendly with the neighbors is right now, by the way.)

(My own backup plan only keeps me rolling both semi-comfortably and independently for about 24 or 48 hours without power in the winter, so I'm leaving after the first night or ASAP. I don't have the complications and niceties offered by something like an F-150 Lightning, but finite resources remain finite no matter their form.)
Perfect, that was my thought as well! Will do
I have a bunch of small scripts I wrote to help me out when I'm working at the terminal. Most of them I've embedded in some way in my Prezto setup with ZSH. As the ecosystem develops though, I try to abandon my own code in favor of community code that's likely better maintained.

In general, I take a different approach than most folks, if at all possible I try to avoid writing any code whatsoever, after that I try to do it with glue code only, and I prefer scripting over compiled applications. It might be the ops/sysadmin in me, or it might just be because I'm lazy, but I really try to avoid just starting from scratch and building something.

Yes. I made two recently.

- TalkToYoutuber[1]: Download the transcripts from a youtube channel and hook it up to gtp4 with RAG to let me "talk" to youtubers. There's a bunch of youtubers who have useful knowledge to share, but no blog or wiki, so semantic searching their video transcripts is the next best thing.

- YoutubeThumbnailSearch[2] - Embded all of a youtube channels thumbnails using CLIP and search them using text. I often need to search through news channels with 10k+ videos, often in foreign languages, so not having to rely on the title or transcript but the video thumbnail helps. This is a much more niche usecase tbf.

I am thinking of making a scaled down version of [1] so I can "talk" to long videos, like conference speeches or university lectures. Should take an hour or two to cook it up since it will reuse most of the code from [1].
