My rule of thumb is to get the edges tuned once a season (I clock ~40 days), usually after the last of the rocks is covered up by the initial snow. If one skis less than that, it's possible to get away with every other season, but keep a gummy stone to deburr the edges as needed.

If anyone has any methods to reliably grind edges at home, I'd be interested. I have one of the edge tools and a bunch of files, but I basically destroyed a pair of skis (thankfully an old crummy pair, put to new use as part of an adirondack chair built from my busted skis) when trying to get it right. Considering a local shop will do it for $40 / pair, that seems like a better use of my time. Still, I've got that DIY itch to scratch about this and haven't seemed to get it right.
Well, you could make the case that the craft beer movement in the US came from European beers: India pale ale is a British invention after all. The "original" American beers (Budweiser & co) haven't made much of a dent on the world.
I'm sure they do care, but they seems to care more about everything else. Or just are victims of decades of bloat. Or too many teams, where one team obliterated the tuning a hundred other teams did.

Because the end result is typically something that takes orders of magnitude more than you'd imagine physically possible on todays hardware.

1.3 MB on every embed? Is that the best the brightest engineers can come up with?

Or maybe the goal is to slow down the entire internet so that their own sites don't seem so slow in comparison?

I know it's easy for me to talk shit, but have you actually used the web lately? It is a miserable experience.

I'm probably misremembering the details because I can't find it but didn't Netflix have an absolutely enormous favicon or something that went unnoticed for a really long time. Feels like there are a few of those in any big codebase. Question is whether the codebase really needs to be big.
Different budgets can go to different things. Grants for X can't be spent on Y. An endowment may be for a specific goal and likewise can't be spent on some other things.

Stanford is a research institution - and some money that it receives will be going to research rather than trying to reduce enrollment costs.

Alternatively, "hey, they spent $22M on that project... maybe we should shut down the Stanford Liner Accelerator ( https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/lcls/budget.html ) which had a project cost of $315M."

There are many good institutions of higher learning out there that do not have research as part of their goal. There are 116 different community colleges within California that do not have research as part of their program and the California State University system (as opposed to University of California system) deemphasizes research. Stanford itself is a private school and not part of either of those systems.

On the other hand, people who go to Stanford often want to study under and participate in the research that is being done in a given field - and that implies that research is being done (and money is being spent on it).

> Those are only universal because they were so successful.

Well, sure, but so what? At the point where something's popular worldwide, to the point that people draw on it without thinking of it as from somewhere else, it's not a cultural thing anymore.

> Ooh, here's a fun one! Craft beer. It's pretty interesting watching American beer styles migrate over to Europe.

Craft beer very much came out of the UK with CAMRA and British traditional ales, American involvement came later. What we have now is very much international with influences in all directions, not an American culture spreading out one way.
I really recommend to read Andrew Adamatzky's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Adamatzky] work. I used to study in the Master's program with his son and one day he gave me one of his books "Dynamics of the Crowd-Minds" [https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/5797#t...]. It changed my life.
I find it truly amazing that you can navigate successfully through 43 years of your life and suddenly a diagnosis.

Diagnosis is what some people look to for an answer to the question of "who am I" by becoming part of a specrum.

The spectrum, Oh yes the spectrum. A range of diagnosis.

On the one end you can navigate successfully through 43 years of your life and on the other end you can be severely disabled.

What everyone should know is that every peson on the planet fits snuggly onto this spectrum, you are either one end or the other end.

Every person on the planet fits snuggly onto every psychiatric condition known to man.

we all fit somewhere.

Oh! the spectrum.
It couldn’t be simpler. Just configure all clients and servers to be aware of each other and go.

PowerToys Run is more featureful than Spotlight and should be compared to Alfred or Raycast. Basically, the biggest differentiator is whether you can write a custom plugin for it or not.
Meaning of Multilevel Marketing and Network Marketing: Two dynamic strategies revolutionizing the way products reach consumers today. Multi-level marketing, also known as direct marketing or network marketing, is an exciting business model where I can act as both a customer and a distributor. This strategy not only allows me to sell products directly to friends and family but also offers the chance to build my own business by recruiting new distributors.
There's a curmudgeon strain in this essay that reminds me a lot of all the criticisms of television when it became popular.

Oh wait :\
Technically speaking, it is possible to use an approach similar to IDN to provide a flat namespace without actually making the root zone itself flat. Namely, an arbitrary TLD .abcdefgh can be translated to .xx--abc.def.gh--yy internally if .abcdefgh itself results in NXDOMAIN. Each level would then have less than 10^5 labels at worst.

LLMs don't actually "understand" anything. They're just better at parsing and manipulating language.
I agree. To me ESlint in the JavaScript domain is an unsung hero.

Code is so incredibly hard to mentally grasp and every mental overload should be omitted to reflect on the logic.

There is a reason why there is one code basis and this should always be curated by a linter to uniformly enforce a standard.

There is still plenty of room for style and code organization.

I witnessed first hand many trench wars around seemingly small things like curly brackets in IF statements dealing with the question of one white space or none, because it appealed to personal preferences and before ESlint people would go to great length reformatting hundreds of LoCs just to get their right feeling of code syntax.

Weird. And git -diff was massive, as well as the code reviews.

(Un)Happy times. :D
I remember after seeing Jurassic World in theaters a friend (who hadn't seen it yet) asked me if it was good, and I said something like "even though you know everything is going to go wrong, it's still entertaining seeing all of the set up before it happens", and they were upset at me for "spoiling" that the dinosaurs eventually break loose. I was taken aback because I thought it was pretty well understood that seeing dinosaurs wreck a bunch of stuff was basically the whole point of the franchise, and the movie would be boring otherwise.

In a way, I'm almost envious of the ability to experience a story without being distracted the "meta" knowledge that what happens at every step is a deliberate choice by the writer. I'd probably be a lot more into movies if I could somehow believe that events in them unfolded organically like in reality rather than sometimes being forced for plot convenience.

You could for a while get a Fire Phone for something like $100, which included a year Prime subscription. That meant that you were paying around $20 for a phone and what were actually some pretty good pack-in wired earbuds at a time when wireless earbuds weren't a thing. I did this, and the phone was serviceable once you rooted it, so long as you remembered the price you paid for it.

Not sure why you've been downvoted. This seems like as good as any explanation. All the economic hypotheses are weak given historical data, and rely on "just rich enough". Several things happened in a reasonably short period of time that support choice being the reason: medicine, equality, and social change (ie a large, but not total, reduction in pressure to have kids by society and family).
Nice tech. This is the kind of innovation that will get commercial attention and may come out in the next few years as a multimillion dollar product sold to biopharma.

The current microfluidics and optical tweezer systems are slow and cummbersome and not very efficient yet already costing millions. This will probably double the price...
there's also numpy and scipy in the webassembly python distro (pyodide). but the "kinda not" part more refers to first class scientific/numerical computing support. it's possible, but the libraries are all disjoint or are webassembly ports, etc.
I'm a ski race parent. I tune every couple of days on snow. My U12 boy skis on
0.5 degrees base bevel, three degrees side edge. Here he is on a firm course at his last race this year: https://youtu.be/RWYO2ib-qe8?si=CRH01ViFUFApSx_o

Setting that up is difficult but it's pretty easy to maintain once it is there. Side cut.com has great advice and tools.

If you are on groomers and ski on decent skis, not powder boards, it is worth getting a tune.

For ski racing and carving on man made snow, it is very similar to ice skating, you'll want to tune very frequently.
IPA was significantly revived by west coast US brewers and basically wasn't drunk in the UK at the time it caught on in the US. The modern "craft" (under that name) and explosion of styles and experimentation was very much an American cultural export. Europeans have brewed a lot of styles in regional breweries since forever, but the creative explosion of the last few decades happened in the US.

Comment significantly changed since I replied, so adding:

Actually the original American beers did have a lot of impact. American Adjunct Lagers are brewed in a lot of countries:

https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/styles/38/

I don't like them, but they've certainly had a major influence on world beer. Most of the world's 10 most popular beer brands are American Adjunct Lager.
>it’s hard to say what a 500-year storm even looks like.

Not to worry, that was taken into account when they came up with the 500-year naming scheme.

Sure it sounds like 500 consecutive years, but it's really a 1 in 500 chance of absolute devastation every year.

How bad was the devastation?

Approximately 5x as bad as the ones where it's only a 1 in 100 chance of striking every year, naturally.
Whether it happens consciously or unconsciously, computation takes time. So, if your theory that the brain computes the results instead of remembering them were true, it should take measurably longer to compute 9*9 than it takes to compute 2*3. I am certain that doesn't happen for me, but it could be measured for others as well.

> When I had to multiply numbers, some answers just appeared automatically, while I could calculate the rest quickly enough. Over time, more and more answers would appear magically, until I no longer had to calculate at all.

This is prefectly explained by some results becoming memorized as you see them more and more, and makes no sense if your unconscious mind were computing things. If your brain was computing these results unconsciously because it had learned the function to apply, it should have come up with results automatically for any (small) multiplication. That it didn't, and you had to consciously do the computation for some numbers, is pretty clear proof that you slowly memorized the same multiplication table, but only filled it in gradually.

Overall I'm not advocating for the importance of cramming the multiplication table. I'm just saying that people who want to do mental arithmetic, or even pen-and-paper arithmetic, can only realistically do it if and when they learn the multiplication table by heart. And, that the reason the multiplication table is taught to children is strictly to have them memorize it so that they can do arithmetic without a calculator at realistic speeds.

Retevis also now has RB24, a lora based mesh radio that does voice, but the details are very sparce.
The system claims to do up to 32 hops, which has potential for some very decent range with a large enough population.

It will be interesting to see how it actually works in real life and how the codec they use sounds like.
The creature builder was lovely, but everything else ended up really shallow. I’m honestly shocked no one has redone Spore, but with more modern game design polish.
> But there's not actually zero chance that your random number generation is flawed, and (very much more important) the cost is in making harder the pieces of your system that are probably more likely to fail in the first place.

I don't think it's that hard to get true randomness. Just measure something random in nature like radio static.
Yeah. He explained it as it was in the early days. Battle.net for Starcraft 2 really destroyed the game from getting popular. It's so sad that the Battle.net from 1998 was better than the Battle.net from 2012... They implemented chat several years after SC2 released. Clans even longer after.

They released it when the online connections were terrible, then everyone left before they got good.
My counter-counter-intelligence idea is that since you know where the radio broadcast station is, you can probably implement some kind of faraday cage with an aperture oriented towards the broadcast station. That way any kind of radiation emitted from the receiver also gets sent in that direction. That way detecting a signal emanating from the receiver requires being in the cone outside of that aperture (and I doubt those signals are so strong that they can be seen from space).

I'm sure your counter-counter-counter measures might start from the premise that, with you also knowing the location of the broadcast station, you might be able to guess at the most likely receiving orientations if you knew the most likely places for a receiver to be located. Eg a shortwave reciever equipped with a faraday cage + aperture listening to codes from Russia in Manhattan would emit a cone in the direction of Stamford. But I also suppose that I might know my receiver emits this kind of signal, and use some other device to emit junk signals that look similar, or scatter around a bunch of receivers while only using one.

Or I might try to only set up receivers in places where the cone would be inconvenient for you to intercept, or obvious that you were trying to intercept. Eg over the ocean.
Also this was a somewhat similar effort to yours, to create the Common English Lexicon word list that can be used on the word game site woogles.io:
https://github.com/Fj00/CEL
The seed was there before that...

They deliberately hindered the release of Starcraft 2 by releasing the online experience completely unfinished. No clans, no chat (at all), no PMing, no custom games. Nothing. It was like that for several years.

At that point, with 3 years of hype for the game, people came, played a bit of 1v1 then left. It was a botched job. Blizzard died with the release of SC2.
The Credit-Card Feature That Saves Time, but Can Muck Up Your Bills
You have to wonder whose fortunes are tied to the LLM hype.

Seriously impressive engineering OP, thanks for the awesome writeup too. Looks like you've got a ton of fans now, well earned!
I'm not sure that GP meant entirely private communities - rather something like, for example, Discord communities, or online forums, where people can still join, but it's not entirely "public" in the sense of Twitter or the like.
I remember being surprised the first time I saw this "feature", which was with my own startup's recurring charge on a credit card that was replaced with a chip card. I didn't understand how the charge had gone through, since the new card had a different number, and I was sure I hadn't updated it in my startup's payment system. I called the credit card company and they didn't know either. When I contacted Stripe (my payment processor), they were able to explain what had happened. I can imagine that people who encounter it in less-controlled situations would be even more confused.

Intergenerational conflict is particularly salient for wealthy Americans. The death of the boomers enables the millennials’ inheritance. Millennials blame boomers for not gracefully ceding power in their own lifetimes. But boomers see millennials as waiting for their parents to die, as complacent and heartless.

This conflict does not exist to nearly the same degree in families without wealth to inherit, and in cultures that respect the wisdom of one’s elders; rejection of one’s elders/youth worship is one value that millennial Americans inherited from Baby Boomers.

As to the emails, Clegg was right when he said this:

> For Millennials, authenticity, agency, autonomy, idealism, altruism etc all seem to be top of their list of desirable virtues – for better or worse, they are difficult to reconcile with Silicon Valley these days.

Well, it’s worse, not better.

Anyway, this kind of self-conscious persona-construction is opposite to what millennials vibe with. No matter how much Zuck styles himself like a rapper or athlete, he only appeals to boomer or at best Gen X sensibilities. This is great for META stock price, but doesn’t make Zuck appealing to millennials.
You can probably get twice-cooked pork anywhere in Europe and in every city in the US with more than 40,000 people in it (ie: everywhere). But it is absolutely a Sichuan Chinese dish, regardless of its universality.

If you define "true" American cuisine as something that is (a) only eaten in America and (b) eaten consistently throughout America, you've come up with a definition that probably nothing fits. Though: watch the British Bakeoff episode where they attempt brownies, one possible contender.

Lots of stuff is probably only gettable in America! I doubt you can get a good cheese steak, italian beef, po' boy, biscuits & gravy, or scrapple in Europe. But you can't get a good version of all of those in most places in America, too.
The laws of physics we know right now are either computable or stochastic with computable probabilities. This was of course the only possible outcome if physics made any sense at all, since the purpose of physics is to compute outcomes, so a physical theory that was not computable would never have been invented.

Still, the laws of physics could be anything and it wouldn't matter for this question. The only relevant question is whether our brains are computers, regardless of how the physics work at the lowest level. After all, we have clear proof that you can make computers on the existing laws of physics (I'm typing this reply on one!), so all we need to know is whether our brains are bio-chemical computers. Neuroscience is nowhere near a level where it can answer this, but it at least remains a plausible explanation. After all, we humans can't compute any non-computable function, or at least none that we know of (the Church-Turing thesis).

This is quite a sacrifice for humanity's sake, so thank you to these people for taking part in this experiment.

I'm surprised more effort wasn't put in to making the habitat homely. It's very austere and scientific. I'd have thought that this experiment would also provide means to test ways to provide comfort in trying situations.
> that it would be open and really big.

I think that was the aspiration, but nobody realized there were so many people who thought 5G caused corona (and similar lack of thought process) until it was too late.
Filing edges and base grinding cuts material away so it shortens the life. Not a huge concern though.
Racers typically wax and tune edges every 10-20 runs.

Recreationally, if you are on a narrow groomer type ski on icy runs, every few days is great and will help you enjoy and improve faster. Well fitted ski boots are more critical though.
In 2012 they were begging some Android apps to launch in Fire store (their Android app store).
