This feels like an overly-complex treatment of the Inverted Pyramid in journalism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pyramid_(journalism), or Bottom Line; Up Front: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLUF_(communication).

Start with the important statements, then expand. Doesn't have to be the "Tell you what I'm telling you, tell you, tell you what I told you" format that many (American) students were taught, but starting with your thesis statement does help ground it.

On the other hand, the topic blog is somewhat of a story, and I can hear the presentation being given behind it. It's just translated 1:1 to a blog, which is a different medium.
Most of their evangelists came from cloud-only tools like Roam Research and Notion that could be sluggish at times. Obsidian being free, fast flat file-based and local-first solved a bunch of problems at once.
Your brain is good at remembering stuff the same way your legs are good at lifting stuff -- a well designed system that can't in any way compare to a purpose-built machine. My brain can barely remember that I have even taken notes about many topics, much less the topics themselves.

People learn to take notes in school as a way to summarize things so they can reread to memorize them. This is largely useless over time periods greater than a semester, because of the limits of memory and the time burden of rereading. Notes that give you an accumulating knowledge advantage over a lifetime have to be taken with a mindset of "when I need this information, how am I going to find out I knew it?" Keywords taking you to an outline view that reminds you of related topics, or Obsidian's linking system.
> Why are we blaming people who need medical care

We don't blame them, but without any control we have the highest prices and not so good overall results. Add to that Trump with his industry 'self regulation' idea and you know what's coming...
> Someone should do "How to take over the world!" if you woke up 50 years ago.

there are many novels & mangas about that.

the first 80 chapter of a 'reborn trope' webtoon called 'past life returner' are about taking over the world using finance/politics.

but in practice I don't think there's much to say. you don't need knowledge about the past/future but about the causality graph and how it was traversed in your previous life so that even when you change things you know how the new state will look like.

The books & amazon show "The pheripheral" has the most realistic looking way for how to do this (that I know of).

> How are non technical people, like our parents, ... going to install their own router?

The way they already are doing this. You’re presenting this as if it’s some mythical impossible thing, but there’s usually someone in the household who can get these device set up, and an increasing amount of extremely accessible content online to help people who are willing to spend a few minutes learning.

A modern router will update itself, and after the initial configuration process is almost maintenance-free with the exception of the occasional reboot and/or checking of cables, both of which are still required if the ISP owns the router.

Furthermore, modern routers generally have extremely simplified setup processes, and minimal knowledge is necessary.

With some limited guidance, all of the non-technical parental figures in my family have managed this without major issues, and I’ll happily take a few questions every 6-12 months if it means they can avoid trying to mitigate the class of other issues inherent to delegating this to the ISP.

> It would be like everyone buying car parts themselves and repairing their own cars when they break…

This is not an effective analogy. The degree of skill required and the actual steps involved in managing one’s router look absolutely nothing like becoming an at-home mechanic.

99% of router issues are solved by turning it off and on again (If only cars were so simple). The remaining issues are often beyond the purview of the ISP anyway, leaving one to wonder what actual benefit there is in granting administrative access to entities that have repeatedly proven they do not have their user’s best interests in mind.

> And then they might have to manage it, like a manual update or asjustment now and then or whatever

No modern router should require manual updates. Using the ISP’s router does not guarantee automatic updates or properly/securely managed devices either.

And again, this is where I’d rather get a call from my dad very occasionally asking about some setting than find out later that their network has been pwned because the ISP router left a default admin credential in place that is now being widely exploited (true story).

The hurdles you’re erecting do not represent the actuality of the problem space, and I think it’s more important to push a baseline level of tech literacy vs. trying to wash our hands of the issue, which I think is actively harmful because many ISPs have proven they are often not an improvement over even poorly self-managed options.

Steven Goldblatt and Leaf – A Pragmatic Approach to Tech – Leaf
There's apparently scientific studies that show how animals as well as humans tend to continue eating until they've satisfied a mostly fixed daily need for protein, mostly regardless of _what kind_ of food they're eating.

Now if people choose a diet low in protein/calories ratio, they'll have a tendency to ingest more calories than people who eat protein rich diets. Try eating eating 300 g of cheese/meat/tofu in one meal, it'll be difficult. Eating 300 g of chips/fries is something many people can absolutely do, if the chips aren't too salty.

One significant difference between our modern western lives and the lives of people tens to hundreds of years ago is IMO that people back then quite automatically used up all the carb calories of their comparably protein diluted diet because life required much more physical activity and came with less home heating than today.
Today, most people will just not expend much of the caloric energy of carb rich diets and thus develop metabolic diseases and such.

A carb rich diet is usually fine as long as you expend the energy via physical activity.
Very interesting article especially for me as 3d Artist. Good article on this topic very rare.

> And yet with a much smaller budget the WPA and so on did more, which does quite imply that the problem is government efficiency rather than government revenue.

Exactly. Some have pegged me as a low-tax libertarian apparently, but I'm objectively not. I frequently vote for tax increases, because I think it's fine to support collective infrastructure.

What I don't like is being gaslit.

As an example, I voted in favor of the California High Speed Rail. To this day, I am desperate for a fast train between LA and San Francisco (despite no longer living in california, it would be mega useful for visits, since my company is in the bay and family in LA).

That was over ten years ago. At the time, the funding measure approved was supposed to fund the project.

The rail is still not built, and I recently read an article talking about a new ballot measure to 'fund high speed rail'. It's like... no... we were completely lied to. What happened to all that money? This is actually not okay. The citizens were completely misled as to how much that cost. Someone somewhere should be facing repercussions, yet if you so much as point this out, you'll be accused of being a member of the wrong party. God forbid
The Greatest Breakthrough in the Science of Education over the Last Century
The original purpose and intent of unions was to prevent workers from becoming literal wholesale slaughter in the interest of profits: machines that could remove limbs, train couplers that required a user to stick their fingers in it as they were coming together, mining conditions where collapse was not prevented, etc.

I certainly hope Apple retail employees are facing no conditions that threaten their health or safety, and my suspicion is they are not.

The "pool" of humans overall's wealth, health, safety, and happiness increases in general when people strive for more through education and training. I don't see retail jobs as a permanent resting place for anyone. They are useful learning tools however for learning how to interact with coworkers, customers, and develop other skills. The usage of Union law to abate this is bad for society as a whole.
Because they still need to win an election, so at least some of them need to do at least a few things that makes them popular enough. A technocrat only needs to make sure people aren't so desperate as to rise up.

This is really simple political theory, not some advanced concepts.
These mobile chips seem like a significant improvement, but I’m finding it difficult to look past the ‘AI’ branding. The constant AI marketing is overwhelming. Hopefully, we’ve reached peak AI hype and it will start to decline.
Totally true. For a car insurer you are looking at what, 500 years of premium for a serious total loss collision? That means 499 people get nothing (drama?!). Actually this percentage (the “24%”) gets higher the more extreme the covered events are. Daresay, a low percentage suggests something shouldn’t be insured, since it’s a regular event and people shouldn’t pay the insurers overhead and margin for something they could save for. So the suggestion that “1%”-“24%” is a wrong combination gets the nature of insurance exactly wrong. I read the 5% in OP that once in twenty years you get a serious condition where no expenses are spared to save you. That’s amazing. (Opinions on absolute US health spending are another topic.)

“You will never have less information than you do today”
I sort of wish car makers would stop being innovative. I do like the reliability and safety that modern cars provide but would like fewer bells and whistles. Affordability in both purchasing and maintaining is important to me. Just watching car commercial makes me think the industry is not prioritizing these things.
> To decrease rent, increase supply. This isn't complicated.

I wonder.

If it's that simple, do you have a theory for why it's not the go-to solution that gets implemented?

And, is it true that every solution requires increased supply? E.g., is migration, or changes in job location, not an option?
I almost got pwned by Poe's law right there.
> Most government interaction is now possible online which requires expensive staff and infra to maintain, but is certainly an improvement over having to do everything in person.

This is the sort of rhetoric from pro-waste activists that just sends me over the edge.

Actually, no. The federal government today is less pleasant to interact with due to the online systems. However, the online systems are supposed to make it cheaper. If you're saying we're paying more for worse service, then we should axe the online systems. Duh.

The few times I've had to interact with the feds, I now just escalate direct to my house representative and get a person on the line who can actually fix something directly. Much more pleasant. And if that's cheaper, we should do that.
I find all these systems, things like notion, obsidian etc intreasting but ultimately just hugely overwhelming when I come to use them, like I'm storing a lot of thoughts and ideas, but when I read through them, they sound nice to read, but pretty useless in real life as my brain just short circuits very quickly reading through it all.
I think it started with Apple when switching from OS 9 to OS X, I couldn’t explain it at the time and still feel disappointed with so much waste of expensive screen estate.
Not op, but what got me to name (fleeting) notes quickly is to name one main category/author, one subcategory (both limited to a single word) and just the date (year only for citations). Inspired by bibtex keys:

Dist(24.07.29)Gaussian.md
Dist(24.07.30)Poisson.md

Transform(23_06_23)BoxMul.md
Transform(23_06_24)Ranked.md

Wilkinson(2012)Grammar.md
Firth(1957)Words.md

Depending on your sorting preference, put the date first, second or last (I prefer sorting by main category, then date of entry, then subcategory). I use decimals instead of underscores but to each their own.
> Your brain is pretty good at remembering stuff

Provided you are under 35 years old, have no cognitive issues, and have a maximum of 1 or 2 domains of knowledge to manage. Not everyone's brain works the same way.
Some of the conclusions are weird, e.g. negative impact on new constructions:

> This could involve the construction of public housing or financial support for private investors engaged in social housing development. Consequently, the total number of completed dwellings can remain steady or even rise, potentially leading to a misinterpretation of rent control's impact as beneficial.

I'm not quite sure why this wouldn't count as beneficial. The place I live even has such a goal (30% non-profit landlords, renters usually become member of the non-profit when they rent).
Why pin this on American voters? Doesn't China emit about 2x more CO2 into the atmosphere than the US?
In that case, neither Social Security and Medicare are welfare. Social Security is given to everyone regardless of income; so is Medicare.
It’s important to note that sugar replacements only proven positive effect is in preventing cavities when they replace sugar. They do not help in reducing weight.
I've been in a company with "unlimited" holidays and it was not great.

You really need clarity on how much time is allowed so you can calculate how much are you making per hour spent in that company. In the end I was taking all the holidays who were mandatory in the country I was living and no more - and people were really pissed off.

American people were taking zero holidays to show they were "committed to the company". I know some people had conflicts over taking too much holidays.

Overall, you end up with people at the extremes doing too well or too bad and average people being more on the bad side than on the good one, trying to impress their managers.
SpinalHDL or Chisel would be my recommendation - type-checked metaprogramming is really nice.

A different approach from vanilla OCR/parsing seems to be this mixed ColPali integrating a purposed small vision models and a ColBERT type indexing for retrieval. So - if search is the intended use case - it can skip the whole OCR step entirely.

It depends on what you need. But you should start by looking at Keithley's SourceMeter "source measure units" and competing instruments from Keysight and Rohde & Schwartz. There are even specific instruments in this vein that can emulate battery charge/discharge models out of the box. These are typically called "battery simulators" or "battery emulators".

Ah yes, working around a hardware design issue via a software update. That's never caused issues for Boeing before!
Is it only me feel the Obsidian overcomplicated for the notes?
I just prefer flat Notes directory and create .md files, which i can sync everywhere i want.

To be honest Obsidian is so good, but i like simple solutions.
It wasn't 'they' working on it as in Homebrew maintainers IIRC, just one person.
This is a great point. The ISPs should allow an IP lookup of whether or not a particular origin IP / port combination (for VPN) is able to view porn. Parents can then tell their ISP to block porn for the household, if they have kids. Or, if they do have kids and want them to see porn, then they can do nothing. Either way, the responsibility is now on the parents. That would be an acceptable way of doing things.
I don't know that's a concern for users of the languages. When you can spend years tuning and optimizing a 'program' that fits in a tweet, those other things don't really have a chance to get involved.

If you consider salesforce big tech, then you gotta consider SAP big tech as well. They have 31 vs 34.5 billion. Spotify has only 13.x something tho
Yes, this understanding would mean the 12-bar blues and blues music in general are an extremely dissonant form as they use the dominant seven chords as tonics.

How many people consider the blues dissonant?

It reminds me of my first counterpoint assignment. "Fourths aren't dissonant" I said, and it came back covered in red marks
I think outlawing rental property is a fun and radical idea but it does of course ignore the practical reasons people seek to rent housing rather than own it. They might want temporary or shared housing, or prefer to outsource the responsibility and liability of homeownership.

All renting of housing should be well regulated and good housing policy must be comprehensive, covering both the supply and demand side of the equation.
> Because reasons

The "reasons" are mostly unit economics, with a bit of regulatory capture thrown into the mix.

There are two kinds of costs that go into a product, the costs you have to pay upfront, like factory construction, and the costs you pay per unit, like materials and shipping. Even if those are the same for wheelchairs and bicycles, you make far fewer wheelchairs than you make bicycles, so you have far fewer units to spread the upfront costs over. The per-unit costs are never actually the same, as ordering parts in larger volumes is usually cheaper.

Then there's the "regulatory capture" part, you need far fewer permits and far less government paperwork to open up a bicycle company than to open up a wheelchair company, especially if you want to work with insurers and/or national healthcare systems. This means that a bicycle company racking up margins would be quickly outcompeted by others, while overbroad government regulations favor those shenanigans in the healthcare industry.
Fixing more cheap Altera USB Blaster clones: CPLD adventures
It is relatively easy, if it is not attractive, because of the price, less people will offer, there will be less offer, less quality, even to the extrem of no offer at all.
I’ve seen it over and over again. I have never seen a good result of price control politics. I please ask the down-voters to show me examples where it succeeded. There must be some example somewhere
That's the reason it keeps being tried. The side effects are wide, disparate, and over long timelines so it's easy to obscure the net negatives to the public.

That plus "If construction rates decline that's the next generations problem. All I want is lower rent now". Which is an effective political gambit.
Well yes internal borders work fine when external borders are taken seriously, not when countries are pretty much forced to accept anyone thanks to human trafficking orgs and lax regulation imagined for war times not for "my country sucks" type of problem.

> And yet: countries like Denmark are safer and more prosperous than ever before.

Maybe ask the Swedes about how things are going there (apart from internet hyperboles, which tend to exaggerate things)
As a Dane living in Denmark, I don’t think it’s a big problem. We don’t show passports when entering Germany, only when returning to Denmark. And several times, if I forgot my passport, a driver’s license has been sufficient. Passport control is not really, if I have to be direct, aimed at the locals.

Unfortunately, Schengen has made it easy for organized crime. On the simpler end, for example, bicycle theft, cargo bike theft, and electric bike battery theft have exploded, and the police do not have the resources to solve it. When they occasionally caught the perpetrators and deported them, a couple of months could pass before they encountered the same people again.
There is a lot of that kind of thing in Denmark, and unfortunately, it is often people from Eastern European countries who are behind it. I am not far-right, but it is a fact.
The ironic thing is that border control doesn’t really solve anything. There is no control when you drive out of the country (possibly with stolen goods), and there is no round-the-clock passport control at all border crossings.
Since you mentioned iCloud and settled on Notion why not just use Apple Notes? I've tried all these other solutions, and always end up back on Notes.
My mental model of rent control is that it's a policy of that favors those "that are already there" at the expense of "newcomers". A special case of this is favoring older generations vs. younger generations.

For instance, in Berlin I know people that have locked in a low rent on an old contract who chose to say in their rental despite owning real estate close by. So for them - who have been there for decades - rent is very affordable.

On the flipside, it's very common for dozens or close to a hundred people showing up for open houses when a new rental comes onto the market (still at the prescribed low rates!). Since landlords can freely choose between so many potential tenants they will pick high income, high stability tenants, making it very hard for younger or lower income folks to get into the rental market.
Anecdotal, but: this is probably more of a Denmark thing and not a Schengen thing. I recently crossed French, Dutch, German, and Polish borders on 4 separate trips and had no checks.
The RCA Studio II in Living Monochrome
Actually, there's three:

C#: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/docs/coding-guid... (and full family of other types: Vector2/3/4, Matrix3x2/4x4 and upcoming Tensor<T>), vector similarity I was talking about is this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.numerics..., it uses a highly optimized SIMD kernel, for DotProduct just use an adjacent method

Swift: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/simd-vector-... it is also a competent language at portable SIMD by virtue of using LLVM and offering almost the same operators-based API (e.g. masked = vec1 & ~vec2) like C#

Mojo: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/stdlib/builtin/simd which follows the above two, it too targets LLVM so expect good SIMD codegen as long the lowering strategy does it in an LLVM-friendly way, which I have not looked at yet.

As long as population continues to increase, if you want the same living conditions as your parents on similar economic terms supply will need to increase.
This is why I miss resistive screens on phones where you had to actually use your fingernail or stylus and it bloody worked so well. Instead, everyone wanted to get rid of buttons for screen real estate and make phones "sexy" and screens should "swipe it up and down Iphone mega mega smooth swipe pinch swipe, magic gestures, etc". And then that drove an entire industry and it's direction for two decades after that, now we're all complaining because we let the designers drive functionality and usability.

Either way, mobile browsers do allow one to "zoom" in into the UI for smaller elements, it's just we're all lazy and don't want to do that.
