I took all the plastic out of my kitchen.

Cast iron or stainless steel pots and pans. No coatings. Seasoned cast iron is as non-stick as any flourocarbon coating.

Glass or ceramic drinking glasses, serving and prep dishes and bowls. Wood or metal utensils and wood cutting boards.

You can only do so much though, almost all of our food is processed and prepared with plastic equipment and packaging somewhere in the supply chain.
For people new to the DIY skills it requires to do it right, 2 months seems reasonable. You have to learn the skills, and when you're applying them you stop constantly to check tutorials or look for advice. You take the entire project one step at a time and you do one part before even starting to research the next.

A day of demo leaves you with an empty room with pipes sticking out of the walls. Maybe you've removed the drywall too so now you have outlet boxes and studs to work with. You take the rest of the day to finish the cleanup and triple-check your measurements for everything. Half your weekend has now been taken to demolish and clean up a core part of your home.

The next day you do your framing, including buying your lumber. Again, if you're new to this, you're probably checking a tutorial or plans every 10 minutes as you go so you make sure you're doing it right. If you have time and you're confident, you can get the plumbing set up so that it's ready to drop the tub/shower and vanity in place next weekend.

For someone with experience, this is an excruciatingly slow pace. For someone who is doing it for the first time and may never do it again, this is pretty reasonable. I would absolutely be proud of taking two months to do a bathroom if it means it's done right the first time. Going by the comments about contractors here, that's not a guarantee just because someone else can do it faster.
The DAG constraints are a feature to prevent architectural erosion.

Note that any feedforward neural network (e.g. anything using attention) is also a DAG.

You can always encapsulate more complex logic in a single subroutine or even choose a hex or onion pattern for biz logic.

But what do you suggest besides DAGs + saga patterns that doesn't result in a ball of mud over time for distributed systems?
We have "piles" everywhere. Woe to you if you move or rearrange a pile...
Love how it’s “AI” now
I read through this person’s post and the related, recent presentation which was rejected. I don’t understand why they’re bringing up this topic in hacker circles, in particular. Do they have evidence that these traits are more prevalent in hacker circles? Why this community in particular? Are they also trying to give similar presentations at JP Morgan or something similar?

I don’t disagree with their overall goal of bringing awareness to this issue, but I think they need to focus more on the behavioral science and how it impacts society at large. Trying to insert oneself into places with topics that seem “out of place” seems to indicate that perhaps you’re saying that that organization has an issue.

One more thing to note, people who come in with ideas of “empathy” or “altruism” in unrelated spaces may perhaps be trying to build a following, or recruit others to a cause.

I am not saying this presenter has a cause for which they’re looking for particular personality types, but that’s exactly how cult leaders build a following.

Cult leaders often seek out people sensitive to traumatic events or who’ve been traumatized themselves. Once cult leaders have some recruits, further recruitment is left to the initial people who joined.
Identity based pricing. Surely this is illegal.
Yeh it's a shame T-HEAD didn't release the source for the draft vector extension. Admittedly they had their reasons.

I played "Poetry for Neaderthals" once a few months ago, and concluded that its enjoyability must really depend on the group. My wife and I were playing at a meetup with a couple of party-game guys who maybe weren't the brightest bulbs in the box (they were the ones who brought the game, but they'd never played it before either). This made it no trouble at all when either of us was the "master," but excruciatingly painful when either of them was.

Like, suppose the word is WINDOW. They'd be like, "Um... house. [long pause] Grass, sky. Glass! Um... [long pause] see? Eye look at?" And I'd be like, "This is a thing in the wall of a house. You can see through it. It's made out of glass. Um... it has panes, and a sill. It might have drapes next to it. You go to it when you want to see out of the house, but it's not the door. A thief might come in through it," etc. etc.

Once you realize you can just say whatever you like (as long as it's in words of one syllable), it seems like the whole game is "cooked." Even with a group of uniformly competent players, I feel like it would just devolve into listening very carefully to a rapid-fire stream of words to try to detect any slips — i.e. real-time proofreading — which to me doesn't count as an enjoyable way to spend a game night.
That's why I'm a NixOS guy now. Mostly. ;)

Could this a debugging instruction that was mistakenly left enabled in production or possibly even an intentional backdoor?

Most modern ISAs like RISC-V provide no way of directly accessing physical memory regardless of privilege (you have to either disable paging or setup page tables to point to the physical memory you want), so it seems unlikely that one could accidentally implement one.

In case of an intentional backdoor it seems surprising that it would not be authenticated with a secret key, but maybe they are very incompetent.

Absolutely. Nextdoor's lack of response against some of the more difficult contributors is why I stopped using their service.

Specific example/tangent:

My tiny city issues "city stickers" to residents (under the premise of "improving safety/recognizability"), which are technically required. During a Nextdoor debate about this "necessity," I commented that the stickers make it easier to target vehicles when they are elsewhere in the county, as our small city is much wealthier than surrounding areas.

Some neighborly asshat, MD, then proceeds to berate my ideas as "stupid/idiotic/don't like it then LEAVE!" Even on unrelated comments elsewhere on the Nextdoor platform, this mental health provider continues trolling me about "not wanting to be part of the community."

Really it's about not having any stickers on my vehicle which display allegiance/possessions; think about this, Mr.NRA-support-sticker-bearer: the likelihood that your vehicle has a gun stored within is much higher than an unlabeled vehicle.

Similarly, our little city's resident decal immediately tells others I statistically have more money/possessions than you, possibly even within this parked vehicle. No, I'll pass — I still don't pay for the sticker!

Why does there have to be a hypothesis? Why can't it just be random? I understand the need to identify a reason, but randomness exists and there's a good chance that had more of a role in it than anything else.

Luckily, we are writing Python, not Go, so we can use variable names with more than one letter:

Unfortunately sometimes the best way to advance, salarywise or otherwise, is to leave. The industry should do a better job at retention.
The key element of making dire predictions is that you can't assume anything will change as a result of publishing that prediction. Otherwise your prediction will no longer be dire.

That's an interesting idea.

What if, instead of 'subscribing' for $10, you purchase a grain of sand for $10.

The grain of sand is available for collection from somewhere, doesn't matter where because nobody would bother to collect it. Your physical purchase comes with free access to digital content.
You're completely correct. It's a voluntary tip, but it still counts toward a person's income. It's totally different than donating to a 501(c)(3) charity.
Not a fan of Apple's policy, but I am a fan of consistency.

It was unfair that Patreon was able to operate on the App Store without paying this 30% cut, it basically gave them a monopoly that no similar Patreon-like platform could compete with.
If you pay after you receive and consume the product in full, I'd call it a donation (unless the creator plans to send your debt to collections.)
This is such a severe bug it almost feels like a supply chain attack/back door of some sort. Is that a likely scenario here? I saw another comment saying that these CPUs are used in Scaleway's cloud, so it's certainly a legtitimate attack vector.

> If one carves up the whole history of the entire universe into all possible events, then there's likely to be a (near) infinite number of pairs of events which "perfectly" co-vary without any causal connection whatsoever.

But if they are not linked by a stable causal connection, wouldn't they eventually diverge, if we observe long enough?
Or, Apple could stop coercing Patreon into setting 30% of donations on fire and Patreon could make the Apple TV app. Everyone wins.

Apple should have a carve out for small donations/creator support just like physical goods.

The line is "can you use the purchase solely in the app distributed through Apple's infrastructure". I think their fee is outrageous, but that does seem like a defensible line.

I would probably tax the producers of foods with sugar in them. It would encourage reduction of sugar content in everything while increasing the price of purely sugar filled stuff like candy and ice cream.

But you would probably be better off just subsidizing healthier options rather than taxing the unhealthy ones. Or just removing subsidies for sugar and corn.

I'm not sure what the issue you're describing is. If I have two devices, each with a camera and a line of marks, if they can each see each other's marks, then they are aligned to within the horizontal spread of the camera pixels. There are no lasers involved -- the marks can be paint, stickers, blinking wide-angle LEDs, etc. -- my suggestion to use blinking LEDs is just so that's it's more obvious when one is in the field of view of the camera.
I have pretty much the same algorithm, except that I do have misc boxes for the stuff I don't need right now, but I may need later. Those boxes appears after a cleaning spree (1 per room). After a week or so, the items inside will get their proper place based on usage patterns (whatever is left inside goes back to long-term storage).

Small items need proper attention. Anything smaller than my hand get organized on the spot.
That sounds cumbersome when devs are working in their respective branches and changing the schema (adding migrations)

A great web-based AI generation and video editing tool.

I didn't expect an individual to make it.

It has access to various APIs required for AI video, including image generation, LLM, voice generation, music generation, and video generation.

The timeline directly generates the corresponding content, and then arranges and edits it.

The traditional interface and wireless canvas switch between each other, one for divergent ideas, and the other for preview and fine editing.

It does come down to mindset. I do my yard work, 1 acre, mowing, edging, trimming, leaf blowing, raking, etc. My entire mindset when I do it is, "It's exercise". I do car repairs and own 2 classic cars. My mindset is "It's yoga!" There's the fun of figuring out how to solve problems I haven't, I work with computers all day and I get to work with my hand. My family gets to see me do things and it's very important for them to know they can do things and solve problems by themselves, I sometimes involve them so it's not me alone but a family thing. The mindset is very important. allow yourself to make mistakes, have fun with it. It's never been this easy! First go to youtube, watch a few videos, read a book or blog and get to work. What I find that makes it frustrating for a lot of people is not having the proper tools, extra hands if needed and knowledge.

How did they actually find it? Endoscopy?
Personally, I don't care that much about the demographic scraping until you try to change the price some individual pays based on their demographic instead of determine something like how the market losses of a higher price for everyone compares to the profits.

Before this idea, I think there was an indirect and less effective way to do this with loyalty cards, and I'm not really sure they should be legal.
It does a lot well. For example it correctly pins dependencies by hash in go.sum. It's by no means the worst dependency management system I've ever used.

IMO the biggest miss with Go modules is conflating the identity of a dependency with how you get it. This means that renaming a repo not only breaks the module itself (as you self-import other modules in the same source tree using the full path), but all of your dependencies. I've seen repos be renamed from github.com/foo/proj to github.com/bar/proj as part of organisational reshuffles, and then there's a big warning somewhere that says "never make a github.com/foo/proj repo or it'll break GitHub's automatic forwarding for renamed repos, and you'll break every package that depends on us."

There are workarounds like using replace directives. But that makes an even worse situation where you can read a source file and assume a dependency is at github.com/foo/proj but actually it's elsewhere. But ultimately a real fix involves touching every single file that imports your dependency. If Go modules left the way of pulling a dependency in go.mod alone it wouldn't.

You should use a Go modules proxy to solve this, and a custom import path. But by the time most orgs realise they need this it's too late and adopting one would be a huge change. So you end up with a patchwork of import issues.
I do wonder if a workaround here is buying a physical postcard from a patreon creator that comes with a free monthly subscription. A 50c mailed card would be cheaper for any subscription above $2.
Even if we have to accept all the BS from Apple, at least customers should be aware of the information at the purchase time that they're paying 30% more money compared to other alternative options. This asymmetricity of information is playing good only for Apple at the cost of all the app creators and their customers.
You need to go to an integrator and get an Epyc-based machine. You can do $7k ish per.
Patreon doesn't have a choice. Apple is too large to give up having an iOS app - too many customers will just walk away instead of using the alternative (or so they think - but I don't blame them for not being willing to experiment - if they are right it will cost a lot of customers)

Well there is a choice, but it is questionable if suing will or will not result in any change. Even if they win in court it will be several years and millions of dollars in legal fees, and it isn't clear they will win.
I guess I'm having a hard time understanding why a Patreon app is even needed or wanted. ApplePay I understand.
> I don't think by any means that previous generations (women in particular) had it 'easier,' but I think the nature and persistence of low-grade psychological stress we carry now is unique. And our support systems are worse.

This is very well said and quite important in my opinion.

As a senior GenXer, I grew up during the cold war, and things were looking pretty scary for us (human civilization) for several years in the 1980s. I remember asking a number of my high school peers if they expected to be around by the age of 21 and more than half though that we'd be nuked by then. (We lived in a place surrounded by primary targets.)

Personally, I was raised by my grandparents, who were born in the late 1910s, grew up on farms where starvation was very close by a lot of the time. My grandfather fought in a number of bloody locations in World War 2 while my grandmother helped build bombers.

I admit, for a while, I was somewhat skeptical of claims that Millennials were dealing with a lot of stress, but I've grown out of that fortunately.

"I think the nature and persistence of low-grade psychological stress we carry now is unique. And our support systems are worse" is absolutely right on target, and I think the science is starting to catch up.

I'm glad you're doing well with your cancer treatment. One thing most people don't realize is how much better, on average, the prognosis is for cancer in developed countries, though the rise of various types is certainly very concerning.

May I ask what kind of cancer you had? Thank you.
> Could this a debugging instruction

Highly unlikely. It's an actual vector instruction that you would otherwise use. The problem is it bypasses page table protections when invoked with memory operands. There is no debugging utility in this mechanism.
Apple forbids even mentioning alternative payment methods within the app.
Is a tensor higher dimension, or is it the generalized form of the structure encompassing all of it (individual numbers (0 dimensions), vectors (1 dimension), matrixes (2 dimensions), and so on)? Kind of like how an n-sphere describes circles and spheres for n equal to 2 or 3.
I assume they're talking about the doomscrolling / social media / letting the world dictate your emotions kind of stress.
