> the keyboard is mushy and the left ctrl key randomly stopped working

2021 G15 (GA503QM), 3⅓ years old: the keyboard is a little less mushy than other laptops I’ve had by a similar age—HP 6710b, some Clevo thing (its keyboard was atrocious in well under two years, with Space and A particularly badly functionally affected too), and Surface Book. Left Arrow key become unreliable earlier this year, requiring significant extra pressure sometimes, or already pressing down another key (e.g. press LCtrl at the same time and it was completely fine, which is telling of the nature of the fault), and now almost never works. E has also been just a tiny bit unreliable at times, as far as its activation point is concerned, but all of my keyboards have had at least one or two issues like that within three years. For reference, I use my laptops extremely heavily (often been >10h and I don’t know how many thousand words per day), and don’t take the greatest care of them either, though significantly better than some people I’ve seen. I have little doubt I’d be in the top 0.01% for laptop keyboard wear.
You'd be surprised. Why do people drive classic cars?

Man, I'd love to, once, run a program from a cassette again just for the nostalgic hell of it!
Just one data point here — I think popular, mainstream music has been shit for (looks at watch) three decades now.

If the most popular music sucks so bad, I can only conclude that either I am from another planet or pumping huge amounts of cash to promote a label's "artist" actually works.

I don't think the comment is being voted because it's "pro-Musk", but because no one believes they're going to do any of that. I even thought it was a joke, until they asked why they were being downvoted.

The true is, there's a huge gap between what was promised early on and what they seem to be able to do. After a certain point people start calling it "bs" and have no patience for those repeating the initial claims.
Throw in any other factor and it fits. Another tenant already lined up, musk wanting to significantly reduce the space he was leasing (plausible, no?) or what have you. A slow commercial market might be the only reason it took as long as it did.

Not a certainty, but a real possibility.
Similar to nano vs vi, I'd say.

I have wonderful memories of WordStar but today I cannot stand using nano (it's in fact one of the first things I uninstall and define vi as the default editor).
Your bar for interesting has to be insane then. What would you consider interesting if nothing from LLMs meets that bar?
I was thinking about it. It looks like sperm from PSCs is a thing[1] so might be ovums. That means you can clone yourself from yourself. It’s even more intense if the statement that stem cells start to combine themselves autonomously and make embryo is true.[2]

I’ve heard that it is possible to let grow one type of animal inside another’s animal womb is that true, any sources?

By the same token, generalizing the whole of Europe to say "33% increase also applies to health insurance" is a very broad brush.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Your point about clearly addressing the problem we're solving is well-taken.

Balancing a polished look with comprehensive information is challenging, but I understand the importance of clarity and usefulness. I've added more "discussion" and "guides" to the docs page in an effort to bridge this gap. However, I will certainly explore additional ways to improve the main website based on your comments.

It would mean a lot to hear your thoughts on the docs and if they help in better understanding the product and its use cases. Thank you again for your support and for helping us make our product better!
Leading shoes on drum brakes were self-energizing like the old Pedersen mountain bike brakes. With a leading shoe the pivot point is after the braking surface, so the friction tends to push the shoe harder against the drum. Most drum brakes had one leading and one trailing shoe.

Some motorcycles even twin leading shoes on the front (maybe even four leading shoes with two sided drum brakes). These had issues with modulation like the Pederson brakes. You also had twin trailing shoes when backing up, so you had to squeeze the brakes extra hard then.
OpenAI features aren’t free, they take your mind-patterns in the “imitation game” as the price, and you can’t do the same to them without breaking their rules.

I don't know what the established criteria are for 'reasonable commuting distance' in the SF Bay area, but seems like a big forced transfer like this might need a WARN act notice, which is going to get the company in the news for layoffs. And probably in the news for not providing the notice in a timely fashion, too.

This would be a bad look for a company that cared about how it looks.
The government is needed to fix what the government caused? This seems like a terrible idea.
I’m subject to social anxiety but public transport never bothered me. You’re among an anonymous group that just wait to arrive at destination. Very different than driving where everybody is involved with their journey, resulting in constant interaction to handle.

On the other side it’s easy to picture why a regular driver would be stressed in a train : you’re not in control.
Have you considered that maybe Airhart and its founders have thought through those inevitable hurdles and decided to push forward anyway?

Even if they don’t ultimately succeed, so what? This is how true innovation happens—someone decides to take a chance on an idea/concept everyone else thinks is impossible or unrealistic.

There are innovators and then there are armchair critics who just tell the innovators all of the reasons why they’re going to fail.
I agree in principle,and, from experience, even.. but "we"* tend to trust (the characters like) gvicino more :)(

There needs to be that epsilon of absurd distrust as well.. as an actual, physical, liminal raum, aka the no-man's land of truth or truce,aka the meatspace of quasi-community.

> Are you sure you don't mean your whole family plan???

In Germany, there's no dedicated "family plan" unless you're rich enough to have private insurance. Your spouse (if they are not working full time on their own and thus have insurance from that employment) and children are by default included in your plan.

We don't have much included in terms of dental care either.

I'm sure not all globes say Türkiye now, just like they don't say "España". We don't have to use the native name for a country instead of the English name. We're speaking English after all.

Our new blog is on "Building custom extensions in Tiptap".

neetoEditor is a rich text editor used across neeto products. It is built on Tiptap, an open-source headless content editor, and offers a seamless and customizable solution for rich text editing.

The decision to use Tiptap as the foundational framework for neetoEditor is based on its flexibility. Tiptap simplifies the complex Prosemirror syntax into simple hashtag#JavaScript classes. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the process of building an Embed extension using Tiptap.

I also wish they'd add a title to the y-axis; defeats the purpose of a dynamic chart if you can't tell what is being charted at a glance.
One of my top 5 favorite books of all time - the audiobook version on audible is excellent as well. A lost world - and we are all worse off for it.
The older entries for Baltics are wrong tho - new/old values are the same for both occupation of 1940 and restoration of independence in 1991.

And same for Thailand / Siam, same in both entries.

>But Flask does not give control of what happens when the client suddenly closes the connection.

It is so annoying that they don't give you a way to do this. I built an LLM inference API but am still working on how to cancel an inference job if a client cancels. I really don't want to rewrite my entire server in Twisted so I'll probably end up just building the HTTP responses like you did.

Vercel's custom events offer similar ingestion APIs, but their analysis capabilities are limited compared to Telemetry. With Vercel, you are confined to the predefined reports and graphs they provide. I firmly believe in the flexibility and extensibility of data, and there's no better way to achieve this than with a comprehensive SQL API, which Telemetry offers.

I agree they effectively ignored the consumer market and died. But it wasn't because they didn't see it coming. It just is, in practice, hard for a billion dollar b2b company to embrace the consumer market even when they recognize it as an existential threat. For more what I mean by that, I wrote an SGI retrospective at:

(Sun or SGI might have escaped if they'd merged with then-weak Apple/NeXT, but it's not clear if that would have helped Apple be more successful in hindsight.)
That's entirely on Mozilla and the slew of incompetent CEOs who did nothing but pocket millions and buy out useless products like Pocket instead of directing funds where they should've gone, the development of their browser.

If I could donate to Firefox development, I would've a long time ago for a generous monthly sum, but since I know it's just going to be squandered by becoming another advertising company [1], then I'm not too bothered by it.

> Rising house prices are simply stealing from the next generation and it cannot continue indefinitely. The end state here is a sea of housing people have to spend their entire income to pay for dotted with the occasional Aldi store and a bunch of virtual kitchens.

Exactly this. Neo-feudalism is the endgame. The 99% own nothing to their name, the 1% extract rents.

Just think about your daily life: your car is leased/financed and only has a small residual value at the end of the term, your phone is financed under contract from your provider and almost worthless at the end of the term, you live in a rental home and can't save enough for a downpayment on your own real estate, and if you're lucky enough to have been gifted/inherited some money, you still pay down debts for decades, and when you inevitably run into old age you have to sell your home to pay for medical and end-of-life care.

All that you really own in your own name is maybe some consumer goods (e.g. a laptop, computer, furniture - and an outright lot of that is financed on some sort of credit for many people) and a 401k or its equivalents. And your pittances of savings are routinely wiped out by everyday bullshit: your car breaks down, you lose your job because of capitalism rewarding mass firings on the stock market, you have health expenses that aren't covered by your insurance, you have to pay a vet because your cat ate a shoe string, some relative (or you yourself) needs to move out of their home for employment or domestic violence reasons...

To me "revenue and MAUs have declined significantly" sounds like a reason they would want to reduce employee numbers, rather than a reason they wouldn't.

At least in a conventional business that uses revenue to pay wages.
The AI bubble could pop by that time leaving them broke with overpriced doorstops in stocks. That's like building Bitcoin miners before it popped.

Too risky to go all in on AI now when Nvidia already has a stronghold monopoly that even AMD can't break.

SF to San Jose would be a horrible commute via car, which not everyone has.
The necessity of these kinds of guides makes me wonder: why have map and globemakers so broadly failed to adopt a standard practice of putting a date on world maps?
There are few absolutes so stop trying to reduce the problem to one such as "Intel bad" because that's disingenuous.

It's really hard to reason about things until you hit large quantities of hardware in production, separate statistical failures from non-statistical failures, separate end user idiocy from real issues and do the analysis, then reproduce it conclusively. This is not helped by the target end of the market demand being interested in running things close to the line on boards kicked out by the lowest bidder. On top of that you have large vendors like Dell and Lenovo who take forever to feed information back on warranty claims because their end user support is fucking awful.

Basically it's very hard to reason about this pre-production despite every effort and QA step in the book being followed.

This is super unrelated to the optimisation, and is just related to the cmake setup - instead of common.hpp having
#ifdef USE_NOEXCEPT
#define NOEXCEPT noexcept
#else
#define NOEXCEPT
#endif

and cmake being:

if (WITH_NOEXCEPT)
message(STATUS "Using `noexcept` annotations (faster?)")
target_compile_definitions(PSRayTracing_StaticLibrary PUBLIC USE_NOEXCEPT)
else()
message(STATUS "Turned off use of `noexcept` (slower?)")
endif()

, the cmake could just be:

if (WITH_NOEXCEPT)
message(STATUS "Using `noexcept` annotations (faster?)")
target_compile_definitions(PSRayTracing_StaticLibrary PUBLIC USE_NOEXCEPT=noexcept)
else()
message(STATUS "Turned off use of `noexcept` (slower?)") target_compile_definitions(PSRayTracing_StaticLibrary PUBLIC USE_NOEXCEPT=)
endif()

No need for these shared "common" config headers.

Back on topic, this doesn't surprise me. There's this idea that C++ is fast, and that people who work with C++ are focused on optimisation and in my experience there's as many of these theoretical ideas about performance which aren't backed up by numbers, but are now ingrained in people. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41095814 from last week for another example of dogmatic guidelines having the wrong impact.
Your approach to art is a beautiful combination of a toddler and a grumpy old man. It's immature, ignorant and stubborn in its refusal to actually listen to what others are saying. You have made so many straw-men that it's difficult to consider your posts as being neither well-intentioned nor inviting a meaningful discussion.

One thing is to say 'I don't get it, this is not for me'. Another is to lie down on the museum's floor and start kicking and screaming in a tantrum about the lack of artistic merit of something like the Black Square without a glimmer of open mind and the tiniest will to at least attempt to understand it before dismissing it.

> way slower than your phone

For the young'uns... I think you're underselling this a bit. A really powerful late 70s mainframe, generously would have been somewhere around 1 to 2 million instructions per second.

Your phone is probably on the order of 5-10 trillion instructions per second. That's a million times faster.

Originally, open source wasn't in our plan, but I'm now recognizing its benefits and am seriously considering it. Observing companies like Dub and Typesense use OSS to foster community contributions, goodwill, and trust has evidently helped them grow more rapidly and gain enterprise clients who prefer transparent solutions. While there's still some work needed before we can open source our project, it's likely to happen in the next few months. I'll update here once it's live, so you can take a look!

> San Francisco has an odd tolerance for the tent communities

When I visited SF for the first time in 2019, it felt really weird that such a rich place would have so many people living in tents in public spaces. Being naive, I saw dozens of tents in Sue Bierman Park and thought they were having an event or something. Then it dawned on me what I was seeing and it never made sense because certainly it doesn't take a lot of money to give these people something so they don't have to live in tents.

Where I live (South America), the city had this situation about 20 years ago and what they did was buy a bunch of cheap land in the outskirts, build small houses and relocate these people. To avoid it being called charity, they "lent" the money that these people could pay in >50 years without interest. And this is a place with no tradition of philantrophy or billionaries. So I'd imagine a single billionarie could fix SF's situation in a blink of an eye, no?
Health and care insurance in Germany combined a bit over 1000€ per working adult. During hard times it covered whole family including all kids. With working wife it’s two times 1000€ a month. So 25000€ a year for a family. But every health measure from this century and glasses are on top. So on bad years it’s normal to pay few thousands on top. So “family plan” is 30000€ in Germany. No chance to avoid it. Private insurance is not recommended for families, because kids cost extra.

Edit: these are the maximal sums for white collar workers. One pays less when earning less.
There's high turnover because India isn't a WLB focused society like Europe is.

Compensation / status is bimodal due to the lower end of IT jobs being < 15k USD/yr, and higher end easily exceeding 100K USD/yr.

The pressure to reach the higher end (> 60k USD/yr I guess) is immense and there's lot of competition, average junior in India does 500+ leetcode, this is because hiring metrics also scale with population.
You‘re right of course, I confused it with the move to Texas.
GA planes have a stall warning horn (based on AoA). They just generally don't have a AoA indicator (though that might be a good idea indeed), relying on indicated airspeed instead, which (for given airplane mass) has a one-to-one [1] mapping to AoA in unaccelerated flight. That's why the concept of stall speed exists.

That is the case since, in unaccelerated flight, we need weight == lift, so

W := m g == L := 1/2 rho v^2 c_L S

with m = mass, g = earth gravitational acceleration, 1/2 rho v^2 = fluid dynamic pressure which is measured by the pitot tube and displayed as indicated airspeed (well, a function of it), c_L = the coefficient of lift, and S = wing area.

Now, weight is constant (for given airplane mass, in unaccelerated flight), and so is the wing area. The coefficient of lift depends on the AoA, and dynamic pressure has a monotonic one-to-one relationship to IAS. Thus you have the relationship between IAS and AoA.

[1] Unless you get to "the back of the power curve" (the coefficient of lift increases with AoA, then decreases again, until it drops off in a stall). Let's not go there.
Designate areas outside of the densest neighborhoods for tent communities to exist and clear out areas that have the highest public utilization.

A kickstarter for a software startup just feels odd. 5K is an odd amount to be looking for, and an odd way to seek it. In particular it is odd that the reward is a discounted subscription to the service. This is deep into 'wat' territory -- If you got $1190 worth of people to sign up for that, you could have just sold them the service directly, without kickstarter. So start doing that instead.
I use Ollama running local models about half the time (from Common Lisp or Python apps) myself.
Efficacy testing -- those phases 2 and 3 -- are entirely unnecessary. They didn't exist prior to 1962's Thalidomide backlash, ironically despite the fact that Thalidomide failed safety testing in the US and was not approved for use.

So it's simple: After phase 1 safety testing, allow drugs to be marketed, but mandate postmarketing surveillance for a period of 5 years to try and tease out real-world safety, efficacy, and drug interactions. This would ultimately result in a better and safer system, as quite a lot of drugs have problems that aren't revealed in phases 2/3 anyway. (e.g. rosiglitazone.)

This simple fix would not only speed up drug development, it would also make drug development a lot cheaper. Compared to the current paradigm, it would heavily incentivize R&D, and bright young minds might see the development of therapeutics as something potentially rewarding. Whereas, today, nobody in their right mind wants to get into pharmaceutical development when they could be making much more money, with much less red tape, in tech.
