I got really into breathwork a few years ago. For the longest time I struggled to find an app that had anything more than basic functionality. Also, I found it absurd that most wanted to charge a subscription fee.

I ended up creating my own application that lets me create advanced, multi-stage exercises. I spent time building the trimmings that I felt other applications were also lacking such as: background visuals with procedurally generated shaders, easy gestures, etc.

I think one day I'll publish it to the app stores so other people who had similar desires have something.
>we have to ask why living beings have it, but other natural processes do not.

The entropy gradient is the first one. Of course lots of natural processes have a bit of energy generated so it's not the only part.

Memory is the next one. Being able to take some of that entropy and put it in a more orderly fashion while rejecting the disorganized part. Crystals can use energy to create ordered systems, but they don't have any means of error correcting.

Execution/replay/updating of said memories based on input from the world around it.

Now before humans came along 'life' was the only thing that could readily manage these traits, and that was after a few billion years of trial and error. Humans now have been going down the path of giving other non-living objects these traits. Advanced computer systems are getting closer to the point of recording information and acting on it in a manner that certainly seems like a subjective experience.
no, this is not true. DGX is (right now) a 4U box with 8xH100 on a daughterboard.

Same reason we might choose to have sex instead of masturbate. Masturbating may be faster and easier. But sex is fun and you can do it with friends.
Unless you are immediately living in an actively traumatic situation - you or your family are gravely ill or you live in a war zone, etc. - all of the despair and apathy is a product of you consuming information that is making you feel this way. I would suggest you immediately stop reading and consuming news, which is overwhelming dire and negative. I would start integrating more with your community, volunteering, talking to people in your vicinity, trying to become more grounded into actual reality.

If you want to see negative, demoralizing shit 24/7 it's right at your fingertips. However this is not your reality, and not the reality of most people on earth.

Yes, I run a daily hyper-local email newsletter that is custom built. It's called BTV Daily:
https://btvdaily.com

I wrote the newsletter generator in Python. It uses all kinds of different APIs (news, social media, MailChimp, scraping, weather, even some LLM for summarizing some of the news, etc.). It runs every day at 8 AM on a little server.

It's not a super long script, but I've changed and refined it over the years many times. It's like I've spent many dozens of hours editing the same <1000 lines of code as I've modified, removed, and added features to the newsletter.
That is why this is the only thing this GPU is good for.
Should probably start with a better developed fictional world, like the Isle of Sodor. Everything from the series opening of Henry being ship up in a tunnel to the later dockside and mountain railroads are all there. I’m not as certain about the later TV shows, but the book’s geography is reasonably legible between story and map.

> Just wondering if any of you has created any software that is meant for your use only and will never see the light of the day for anyone else.

Sure: For an operating system, I wanted to concentrate on exactly one, one of Windows or Linux. For this, that, and those reasons I picked Windows. Most important tool, KEDIT. Next most important, Rexx scripting language. Software for own use, console applications. Real effort, starting a business. For this, developing a Web site. Got the code -- Visual Basic .NET, ASP.NET, ADO.NET -- running as desired. Had a disaster, recovering, and spending too much time in system management mud wrestling and unanesthetised root canal procedures but getting back to the important computing and the business.

So, have ~100 of each of Rexx scripts, Kedit macros, and TeX macros. Will be moving back to working with Visual Basic .NET.

Just wrote a Rexx program of ~1200 lines of typing to do -- sitting down for this? -- file copying. WHYYYYY????? Did some copying, should have copied 99,024 files, but actually got only 41,462. Disaster.

So, wrote a Rexx script with three sections:

First, check and be clear on what copying want to do and use the Windows XCOPY, with carefully selected options, to
do the copying.

Second, use Rexx function SysFileTree to get a list of the files/directories that should have been copied and then, in a loop, one name at a time, use Rexx function SysFileExists to be sure the copying was done.

Third, one file at a time, again from SysFileTree, use the Windows program FC.EXE (file check) with option "/B" for binary, to check that all the files were actually copied correctly down to the last bit.

My software does some good checking on the work to be done and some good reporting on what was done so that, now, if something goes wrong, e.g., the case of 99,024 files where copied only 41,462, at least I will know there was a problem.

Right, tools for such things should have been rock solid 20+ years ago and shouldn't have to do that. But, only 41,462 out of 99,024 provided a "reality check" so wrote the code I did.
Cool tool. Very surprised there isn't a "Buy" button. Would be a natural and welcome addition.

I've unsubscribed from Jimmy John's like 3 times and today I finally realized why.

When you click the unsubscribe link, you get this page...

I almost always click "All Communications" -- but I just realized that it actually RESUBMITS you to receive all communications. It doesn't cancel you... you are already cancelled.

I also hate services that require you to log in to unsubscribe, because sometimes that login doesn't work or you don't have it anymore. So frustrating.

It does say in the text about opting back in but if you look at this page briefly you just assume you have to hit submit to unsubscribe from all communications.

Thoughts?
In absolutely no way whatsoever.

I'm shocked, shocked, that you actually were just lying about your experiences to make whatever point you wanted.
The one time I worked with a guy who lied about throwing chairs at people it turned out he was a wanted serial killer, and the company almost went bankrupt. Of course none of that is true, but if it was, it would be a colorful way to back up my refusal to work with people like that!
Hi there, CEO of NuMind here, absolutely agree, these models are meant to be fine-tuned to be really useful. Right now you can see how the input -> output are formatted in the model card on HuggingFace. From that you can create a set of input -> output and fine-tune NuExtract. We are working on a platform to make this fine-tuning easier.
Not all machines even in Tokyo accept IC cards, and despite new coins being aroud for 3 years there are a lot of machines (more than half from my experience) that don't accept those coins. Some machines have a sign "we accept new coins" which means the default expectation is that they don't.
This is one of those techniques I don't understand when I read it as text, but will instantly absorb when I have a working code example and pass some of my own data through it a few times, inspecting the working process.

I first learned about this technique from Douglas Eck (https://research.google/people/douglas-eck/), who used it for song clustering at Google. I remember him saying something about hashing and random vectors, and was puzzled because I figured that less random optimiztion would work better.
> AMD eventually did while Nvidia's drivers remained a nightmare

and yet that trillion-dollar valuation built over the last decade is built with customers almost entirely running on those "nightmare" linux drivers, while AMD's linux drivers crash running the sample app on supported hardware+OS, and nobody at AMD cared until finally a tech-bro with a loud enough platform shamed them into fixing it...

... and this is something like AMD's third crack at the apple, and the first three sets of drivers (one of which is literally a Vulkan-branded spec) are just as non-functional today as rocm was a year ago.

(OpenCL, Fusion HSA/AMD APP, Vulkan Compute/SPIR-V... all still broken so badly that Octane called them out for being unable to successfully compile their renderer and for lack of vendor support, so badly that Blender pulled support after years of turbulent and poorly-performing attempts to work with AMD, etc)
Have you played with Mario Builder 64? I did a game jam with it last month and found it really delightful. You're pretty restricted in what you can do - practically no coding, just pulling in components from the Mario 64 base game - but in exchange it's really simple to get a whole level up and running in like an hour (our whole game jam was 2 hours long).

My level design skills are pretty weak. Being able to partially compensate for that by getting built-in nice character movement, enemy design, etc for free was really really nice. If I wanted to do more 3D stuff right now I'd almost certainly be using something like Mario Builder (I think stuff like Doom custom maps get at a similar idea).
Reminds me I need to revisit my archive of Destroy All Software videos. They really are gems.
I am surprised I haven't heard of this one, doing a quick search it looks downright incredible and hard to believe that they managed to stretch GZDoom to handle it.
> But nothing in science is 100% certain.

Scientists are arguably "in" (a part of) science, and they are often extremely certain (as a consequence of being culturalized humans).
And a couple of mirrors can double it.
I made a Rust program that, given a database of football players and projections about how they will do during the season, can be used during a fantasy football draft live to provide an indication of who the best player to draft is. I have other fantasy/sports gambling applications I’ve written to solve knapsack-type problems, choose the best team to pick in a “survivor” pool, and convert from various Vegas odds to win probabilities.

Outside of sports I have written code to download the entire Jeopardy archive to categorize most likely questions to appear to help study, and code to interact with Fitbit APIs to pull down data, code to analyze certain aspects of my full genome sequence.

I have unfinished code (and a desire to finish it) for creating algorithms to play certain board games, a tool to automatically request books and audiobooks from the library based on a Goodreads reading list (or other source of books), a tool to optimize Universal Paperclips, and several different business ideas I’d like to eventually pursue.

Creating something you find useful is a great way to get something done, and make a good tool. If you want it, chances are there are a lot of others who also want it.
Made a simple app to put all my Apple Watch walks on the same map, so I can walk every street in my city. Surprisingly there wasn't anything available that was free or straightforward, despite it being an easy app to develop. Honestly, it's extremely fun to use something of your own every day, and patch it up when you come up with some other ideas. I did release it on AppStore (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mapcut/id6478268682), but mostly for my friends so they can use it as well.
genuine question: does "cutting board" mean something else? it seems like a reasonably unambiguous term so I'm curious what else it might refer to.
Cutting Board Designer in Strips mode with “flip alternating rows” turned off works acceptably for designing edge grain, although the material estimations are off. So I guess all I use it for is visualizing different strip widths and overall size
I wrote a web site builder that I only use to host my indie bands' web pages. It's got a very silly backend vs the potential target market (musicians) in that it makes you write Markdown, so I don't have delusions of grandeur, but it works well for my simple hosting needs and lets my bandmates make changes without going to git.

I use standard 3/4” sprinkler valves from the big box stores, connected to a manifold via unions on each side. This enables me to swap if needed, but these are ruggedized and will last a while. They do take 12VAC, so you need a transformer and use relays to turn them on, but they work very well.

- Oracle Cloud Free Tier[1] for a Ubuntu VPS (4 ARM cores, 24 GB RAM). Surprisingly pleasant and reliable, given who's offering and for how much ($0). It used to be on DigitalOcean, until they kept screwing up their FreeBSD support and bricked my machine twice.

- Caddy[2] web server with Let's Encrypt certificates, working as reverse proxy.

The rest is a very lazy 2010's solution:

- A Go server for HTTP (static files, uploads, maintaining server-sent-event channels). It also reads and writes events in a custom format to a local socket, for the interactive parts.

- A Python server for the widgets, communicating with the Go server.

- Source code edited manually in-place (SSH or SSHFS[3], with Git) and restarted as needed. I know, I know, awful practice. But as I'm the only user, uptime during development is not a concern.

- Startup is handled by a @reboot cronjob and a bash one liner.

- Text files for "structured storage" (RSS feed items, authenticated sessions, mapping of uploaded file names).

As horrible as it might all sound, it has survived ten years and two cloud vendors. Nowadays I might containerize it, or rewrite as one Rust server, but I think I made the right choices at the time.

8/10 given the unusual requirements.

My frustration with the state of mapping apps as a runner is endless. Almost always, I'm starting at my house and also ending at my house. Clearly, the shortest route, fastest route, route that avoids highways, whatever, is to never leave in the first place. I'm already there.

That isn't the point. I just want to trace out all the different ways I can possibly go and measure them. I don't want the software to find a route for me at all. I can find it myself. I just want the software to record it and measure the distance, not the way "Map My Run" and what not do by recording where you actually go via GPS, but letting me do it on the map before running it. The stupidest thing is this would be so much computationally simpler than what they really do. They wouldn't need GPS or location services at all. They wouldn't need any feed of current route status. A paper map can do this with no computation at all. I'd just like to have it on my phone and not need a ruler and string to do the measurements.

For the inevitable peanut gallery, I'm aware of browser-based web apps that can do this and I use them. I'm also aware of Apple/Google's "choose waypoints" or whatever feature, which does not do what I want because it still finds routes itself between the waypoints.
Alternative hypothesis on "job to be done": individuals attempting to de-google themselves, at least on the productivity suite. This does involve the rest of the suite as well, as individual users do, actually, have docs on google drive.

I was recently listening to a researcher talking about ITER. He claimed that there is currently no technology to shape high temperature superconductors into usable coils. Reason was their mechanical properties, namely fragility.
He also claimed that all commercial fusion reactors are either using those or He3 which would need to be mined from the moon.
My favorite personal project is a Japanese-English dictionary with full-text search (thank you JMDICT: https://www.edrdg.org/jmdict/j_jmdict.html).

It's a Rails app and includes a flashcard system to help me study. It also emails me a daily list of 5 vocabulary words to study.

I use it all the time and it took about a month to get it into a state where I felt comfortable deploying it. I'm about to add a feature that will use the devices camera to scan and extract a vocabulary list from the image using OCR (I'll use this when reading Japanese text).

It's useful for me, but more importantly, it's fun.
While teak is an awesome material it's also one of those hardwoods that's hard to source ethically (if you care about it). It's not as bad as the endangered hardwoods that are borderline impossible to source outside of personally salvaging it, but it's not great.
You know that "they" refer to more than just "the politicians in power", but to the whole people involved, including opposition, small parties, independent law specialists, ...

Maybe you see that from the US point of view where politics is reduced to a pathetic childish power fight. But the fact that in US any single law has the potential to oppress people does not mean that in other places, normal laws cannot be a good thing. The problem is not in this law proposal, the problem is that in US the situation is very bad.

edit: also, are you really saying that they want to manipulate and lie to the citizen and that the best way they've found is to ... make lying to the citizen more difficult? They could push for plenty of laws with the excuse of security or helping the economy or ... that can be misuse to attack their opposition without being able to be used against them. Honestly, if indeed they are pushing this law because they will think it's easier for them to lie with this law than without, they probably not smart enough to use it properly and this law is, again, at worst harmless.

The odd part is that, at its core, Windows still is file-based. Managing it isn't, but anyone who's gone digging around in NT's Object Manager will be familiar with using CreateFile() to get a handle for manipulating things there.

It's, in fact, pretty pervasive when interacting with Windows programmatically, just as it tends to be on Unix-alikes, and the fact that PowerShell doesn't do well to acknowledge that is frustrating. (Worse, Windows is a better Plan 9 of sorts with MIDL and COM everywhere, and PowerShell falls pretty flat here too compared to the experience of, say, slinging a dynamically generated command stream directly at fossilcons.)

Yes, I could break into C# or C++ for this, but that takes the tasks that rely on these operations firmly out of the hands of paraprogrammers.
