I was subscribed to a (physical) game magazine until a few months ago though. And I stopped more because I didn’t actually have time to read them.

The reviews there were actually trustworthy, so if they gave the game a decent score I’d know that it’d be an objectively good game (even if that particular game would be a bad match for me)
Do you have any substantial proof for that claim?
The best way to water a garden is drip irrigation. You do have to manually lay the tubing and then in the fall roll it up. But there are farmers doing it in large fields so a small garden should be possible. Once everything is hooked up it can be pretty well automated. Home Depot now in some stores has drip irrigation supplies.

Cool project, but what an inane concept.
> Everyone knew there were introverts and extroverts

Except there are no such things. Intro/Extro are used in the ocean of questionable personality science to describe character traits. Even within some of the "worst" culprits of it, character traits are never considered to be set in stone. Contrary to what you may now think, I'm actually a fan of personality tests like DISC for professional teams. For their actual purpose, however, which is as tools which lets team members talk about their strengths and challenges in a much more open and focused way than simply sitting them down and talking about how to do team work. Especially with introvert/extrovert the whole thing becomes a little silly though, a lot of people will be more introverted one week and then more extroverted another, depending on a multitude factors in their lives. To be fair to the author, she does seem to mostly use it as a way of getting their point across, I just don't like it when people think you can ever describe people as either introverts or extroverts because it's frankly just plain bullshit.

Anyway, when I read the authors complaint about it getting harder to get friends out of their homes I looked up the author's age, and she's 33. Guess what happens in your early thirties? It gets harder to get your friends together, not because they've become introverted but because adult life takes a lot of energy and effort. The last to get children in a social circle are going to feel this the hard way. I'd argue that there are also facts like cost, which the author doesn't go into. I like going to the cinema, but where I live it'll quickly end up being $120 for a ticket and popcorn + soda. Back in 2018 it was maybe $50 and basically nothing of the experience has changed. It's not that I can't afford it, it's more a question of me being a scrooge.

One thing we have done in my friend circle is to get together "at home" more. We'll meet up to cook dinner and play board games while the children play. We still schedule Dungeon and Dragons but the frequency is like 4-8 times a year where it may have been every week before. It also has to happen during the day because evenings aren't a good time to be out with small children in the house. I have a season pass to a themepark where I go with one my friends and our eldest children, we don't actually do a lot of rides we just hang out while the children have fun. Basically post 30 social events will often need to become things where you can bring children or be out from 10-16. Which is very different from your late 20ies, but not necessarily less social.
If your input is Russian mixed with English, it might still be actually faster to do a first pass to process all the ASCII English range first with the aforementioned techniques, then do Russian later in the second pass: imagine you’ll have way less if branches to do.
Rhombus appears to be a relatively new language, built in the Racket ecosystem, with similar capabilities such as macro expansion.

Racket uses a Lisp-style syntax, and Rhombus uses a more Python-like style that could attract a wider audience.
It's been close to 20 years since iPhone shipped. None of these restrictions are new.

There are pros and cons to any consumer choice. I think users are well informed an making their choice explicitly.

Yes, both eco systems employ lock-in and network-effects to keep customers. And yes that is an issue (separate from the app store issue.)

It may interest you to know that outside the US (and some parts of Europe) Apple has a smaller network share and people avoid the green bubble effect by using alternate messengers (mostly WhatsApp).

There are -choices- which you may or may not like. In the US folk have largely -chosen- to use iPhones despite Fortnite.
>> They are not demanding

I have to disagree on this one. They are prone to a myriad of diseases, mainly fungus: Phytophthora infenstans, Fulvia fulva, Botrytis cinerea, Mosaic Virus, Stolbur disease, and if you don't spray them with the right substances you'll lose a substantial part if not the whole crop, oftentimes lose it even if you spray them.

Other than that I agree that home grown tomatoes are better. Of course you mustn't be stupid and buy some supermarket seeds, those are awful. Use local varieties, several of them as there are subtle differences in taste and flavor. Like "oxheart" for instance: https://gomagcdn.ro/domains2/planteieftine.ro/files/product/...

Although I can buy local varieties from the grocery market and I do, they might not be just as good as a fresh one from the garden. Part of the reason is the difficulty in storing them, if you stack them one over another they will get crushed and you won't sell crushed tomatoes to the customers. So farmers tend to pick them when they aren't fully ripe and I freaking hate unripe tomatoes. Still they tend to be way better than supermarket "plastic tomatoes" offering.

One tip, pick the smaller tomatoes, they tend to be sweeter. Or at least that's what I noticed.

I remember going to indoor weddings as a kid, and not being able to see the other side of the room or even a few tables down, due to the sheer haze that added extra ambiance to the dance lighting in the centre of that large liminal space.

Why would marriage matter?

"For instance 2-parent households will either be able to provide a much higher average income in the case when both parents work, or a more supportive environment when only 1 parent works."

I knowed a single-mom-family of 20 (twenty persons most under 21y), so if that mixed comment seem to look like 'that 2 parents build a safety-net for their children, if one becomes ill - for example - no the heck if you think how worse it is when a child got ill, 'horrifying!', think in that family of 20, on a regular basis _all_ got ill. At the same time. So you've to get a complete medical "lazarett"-team (doctor, sisters, helper,...) but to underline it (for the extreme... with the 'working parents') or there may be a need for an nanny-state-scenario... that may be called 'social'...

And for the original question: "Why would marriage matter", cos marriage seem to be often about rule and expections, not? Um But if i remember correctly, there were some academics, centurys ago speaking about "Moralstats" ("Moralstatistik" in German), where one finding was that not been married correlates with bad-tooth.

Bit of a thread since my initial comment (:

Just to clear some things up, in case anyone cares:

(1) It is largely voluntary, what I tried to describe. Just like choosing to focus on your phone or the kids in the back seat while driving is voluntary. All of those are, of course, bad things to do. A good driver controls themselves — imagination included.

I wouldn't especially trust a driver's reaction time in "deep concentration" mode whether or not they were making pictures in their head, so I guess I don't see (ha) a big distinction.

Though actually, for me I find it harder to do mental visualization when there's a lot of real eyball visuals going on, as when driving. I have an easier time with a static background. Perhaps other people are different.

(2) I find that day-dreaming is somewhat voluntary, too. It can happen on its own, but it can also be a choice, like choosing to meditate. I don't understand your point about how someone else's ability to interrupt you makes it non-voluntary.

(3) I didn't mean to say I "see images in front of me." They are actually distinctly not in front of me — not outside my body. They live in a different space, if you will.
I had the same thoughts when watching this. Cucumbers either require twine, in which case they grow quite tall), or each plant will take up half that raised bed. Tomatoes are not planted directly from a seed, you first need to grow seedlings, a very laborious process that’s hard to automate. Tomatoes can also get quite tall, with some plants exceeding 5 feet. You don’t need such elaborate setups for irrigation either - this is trivially solved with drip irrigation stuff available at any Home Depot. And so on and so forth. I grew up on a farm and will probably retire on a farm. The most labor intensive part was weeding and pest control. If you want to do something real, automate that, without making any unwarranted assumptions on how the various crops are planted.

The headline is somewhat silly. Australia already has an extensive public housing program [0]. This suggests that we already agree that everyone should have shelter. Otherwise, why do we have a public housing program? Declaring something to be a human right doesn't magically make it easier to implement complex policy.

And we don't need a book on the topic, someone needs to put a pdf up on the internet of a proposed policy change.

I used LLMs for something similar recently. I have some old microphones that I've been using with a USB audio interface I bought twenty years ago. The interface stopped working and I needed to buy a new one, but I didn't know what the three-pronged terminals on the microphone cords were called or whether they could be connected to today's devices. So I took a photo of the terminals and explained my problem to ChatGPT and Claude, and they were able to identify the plug and tell me what kinds of interfaces would work with them. I ordered one online and, yes, it worked with my microphones perfectly.
Databases must not be a place to store any logic
Here in Montenegro I go to a nearby green market, “zelena pijaca” in our language, and similar stuff is usually available. Often more expensive than the ones from Netherlands but still, commercially available without black market.

However, availability of the good stuff depends heavily on the time of the year.

I'm Polish expat living in Norway. There are no tomatoes to be had in Norway...
Just kidding. I'm actually kind of alright with the small ones (pearl tomatoes), any other don't taste like tomatoes. I believe, that the Norwegian people are so used to blandly tasting vegetables, that the worst and least ripe product parties are send to Norway.

But my wife and her family are tomato people. Every time we visit Poland or anybody from Poland visits us, they need to bring some malinowy (raspberry) tomatoes. Premium price, color slightly pinkish rather than true red, shape is a little bulbous, like a pumpkin, rather than perfect round like regular tomatoes.

You can actually get them (or other good tomatoes) even in many supermarkets, tho it's best to go to a local produce market. And ofc best ones can be had from people growing their own.

Same really goes for eggs - there is another dimension to taste and you get more sated eating less, if you can buy eggs from someone feeding the chicks properly. Though, if I had a car and knew a good source, I could probably buy better eggs here in Norway. However, supermarket eggs (and meat too) are much better in Norway. Most likely due to more stringent rules for animal farming, as Norway is not part of the EU and can have it's own, more strict rules. For example, Norwegian bacon doesn't smell like men's locker room after a football game (compared to swedish) and doesn't have a ton of water leave it when frying.

For what it's worth, the simulation does account (in a crude manner) for the heat causing increased water vapour uptake from the ocean and accelerated plant growth (which in turn increases the rate of carbon sequestration). I admit that the desertification at the end is a bit of artistic license to make the storytelling easier to visually convey, realistically things would be more complex than that. And it is just that, a story of one particular possible scenario, as I've written about elsewhere:

> “The final section is intended to illustrate a possible future, though perhaps an improbable one,” Roberts said. “I wanted it to be dramatic, so it is an illustration of a particularly extreme outcome where literally all of the fossil fuels are burned, but I tried to keep the effects realistic otherwise, based on scientific articles I've read about such a hypothetical.”

I think there's some serious rose coloured glasses going on here.

I started my first job as a developer in 1994. My first task was to add some XDR to our RPC code to ensure big-endian and little-endian machines could talk to each other. This was in the C language. As in, tiny standard library, manual memory management, etc. No type safety. I wrote a UI using X/Motif. It was a pretty simple UI with a File menu for loading and saving, and some other edit menus etc. It took ages. No type safety meant that accidentally passing a pointer to a button to a Motif library function that expected a pointer to a label caused a segmentation fault. I still love C but not if I'm building an actual application. I absolutely do use C if I'm curious how well llvm can optimise a loop for counting prime numbers or calculating pi.

Then along came C++. Now I had some actual data structures and algorithms. Memory management was easier but still error prone. But the compiler we were using was very slow when using a lot of STL code (Standard Template Library) so once our codebase was big enough, building and linking would take over an hour. There were some workarounds but they were clunky and caused their own issues.

I didn't like Java when it came along because I thought the whole idea of compiling to JVM bytecode and running a JVM in production rather than a compiled executable was obviously slow and wrong.

Java has been around for years and lots of mistakes have been made along the way but it's a really solid environment with access to a HUGE number of libraries and frameworks.

Web apps used to be simple - there was only so much you could do. But then javascript and the infamous XMLHttpRequest came along and people could suddenly make really nice interactive sites. That kicked off another years-long period of trying to figure out how best to write large, complex applications with web technologies. But don't kid yourself. The benefits of web apps far outweigh the complexities and "slowness".

Other developers would have experienced other journeys. A modern word processor is vastly more complex than early word processors. I used to really like word perfect 5.1 because it was responsive and very capable and never crashed but when Microsoft Word came along, people obviously preferred it, even if it was slow and crashed all the time.

So I'd say modern software is complex and has problems that come with complexity but the slowness isn't really it. I used to edit code in vi. It was pretty responsive. You can bet your bottom dollar that it's really fast still. But I prefer JetBrains IDEs. Sometimes they're slow or a little buggy but the trade off is worth it.
i use a modified form of https://xit.jotaen.net/ for my task lists. xit uses [~] notation for obsolete tasks. sometimes an entire branch gets this. i also avoid fleshing out tasks in detail until i've settled on the design for the higher level goal.

The way this paper computes the emissions of a human seems very suspect.

> For instance, the emission footprint of a US resident is approximately 15 metric tons CO2e per year [22], which translates to roughly 1.7 kg CO2e per hour. Assuming that a person’s emissions while writing are consistent with their overall annual impact, we estimate that the carbon footprint for a US resident producing a page of text (250 words) is approximately 1400 g CO2e.

Averaging this makes no sense. I would imagine driving a car is going to cause more emissions than typing on a laptop. And if we are comparing "emissions from AI writing text" to "emissions from humans writing text" we cannot be mixing the the latter with a much more emissions causing activity and still have a fair comparison.

But that's besides the point, since it seems that the number being used by the authors isn't even personal emissions -- looking at the source [22], the 15 metric tons CO2e per year is labeled as "Per capita CO₂ emissions; Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from fossil fuels and industry. Land-use change is not included."

This isn't personal emissions! This is emissions from the entire industrial sector of the USA divided by population. No wonder why AI is supposedly "100-1000x" more efficient. Counting this against the human makes no sense since these emissions are completely unrelated to the writing task the person is doing, its simply the fact they are a person living in the world.
Simple: quality tomatoes are hard to transport and they don’t last when on the shelf. The closest thing to a “real” farm tomato you can buy at a reasonable price is “Kumato” from Trader Joe’s. It’s a pale imitation of a real tomato picked off the plant when it’s ripe, but at least it reminds me of it, whereas a “regular” store bought tomato doesn’t taste anything like the real thing.
yeah. there's a place for coding interviews but I'm lucky in that the one I give is basically tell me about something you know a lot about, and find how strong people are at their strengths.

One note for anyone thinking of buying. Check the reddit threads. I bought their Linux Tablet last year and the delays were horrible. It was delivered 8 months later than they advertised and their comms was crap.

I quite enjoy the tablet - it's a good enough system... Out of date by the time it was delivered; however, nice enough. I wouldn't have bought it at the price point had I known it was going to be so late to deliver.
I lost some crops myself but tomatoes still fared better than other vegetables. It's not like some enormous investment? Having homegrown tomatoes every other year is better than nothing. If you have kids, it's a good lesson about difficulty of obtaining food from nature.

I had success with mycorrhizal "good" fungi (brand Symbivit), they were keeping bad fungi away with visible difference between treated and untreated plants.
I think the margin between OpenAI and the next few best competitors is already fairly slim, but as OP mentioned, the margin between the median competitor and the best is also decreasing.

It suggests that playing catch-up progresses quicker than pushing the state of the art.

I don't see how any of that pops a bubble but I think it could transformative for the leading companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc) which may become more rank and file service providers.
I worked at a company recently where I couldn't get a team to do the fairly simple task of cleaning up our git ignore (so we wouldn't have to painstakingly add certain files to the index every time we changed something) so I take it as a massive accomplishment moving to git within two years.

If I know anything about work, I doubt this is all they did for two years. Business doesn't care you have an important project. They will bug you to do other things.
