I find it quite concerning that we are going into a situation where some things can crawl some sites but not others.

I have my own serious ethical concerns about AI, but from a pure searchability standpoint it is likely to cause more problems than solve.

Information is going to start being silo'd. It would be like if I had to go to Google for one thing and Bing for something else.

That being said, I am also quite concerned about what you mentioned. I was not happy when I found out that ArsTechnica signed a deal with OpenAI (or I assume their parent company did). Did that deal include any requirements of how they talk about OpenAI, AI in General, or their competitors?

The concerns over AI are real, but they are putting a short term gain over the long term damage by somehow thinking that licensing data is going to save them.

The tone of this is a bit weird, do we have similar "blocking google", "blocking anthropic", "blocking meta" articles? Instead of what is really happening is those partnerships were formed so everything not that partnership is being blocked.
Mind going into a bit more depth on "scratch that itch"? I've been debating Iced vs GPUI, would love any deeper thoughts you have on the subject. Performance and UX are probably my largest concerns, fwiw.

Yeah, I've used this in the past to let family mark domains / addresses for email whitelisting. Needed some finagling because the notes are quoted-printable HTML but easy enough to feed the info into rspamd via redis keys.
I am looking at replacing my A/C system, and having worked on the single stage single speed one that's currently installed, and looking at the insane shit everyone ships that's more complicated than your basic gas forced air furnace coupled with a single stage 16 seer A/C unit, there's no way I would ever buy something else. Every parts house has got inexpensive replacements in stock for the simpler units and service is easy; good luck if you have go find the unobtanium variable speed motor or control board that Lennox or Trane just happened to stop making the moment your unit stopped working.
It's true that with a moderate dose of unsafe, and now that #asm!() is stabilized on major platforms, Rust should be able to go the same places as C.

Not at all, it's in good spirit! Happy to talk through any technical details from my side :)

> though if you try to listen for those changes with a mutation observer, it won't fire

It doesn't have to fire an immediate mutation imo. When you click on an element to edit, you could inject a data-attribute into it (not sure if the Chrome Devtool let you do this but an extension might). At write-time, you can query the elements that were marked, get the delta and write it to code.

You might've thought of this longer than I have so I think that might be a naive solution.

For years, I used Fastmail alongside four other email accounts with local mail clients like Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and eM Client. The experience was always just okay, but recently, tasks like opening messages, switching to folders with lots of items, or searching became frustratingly slow. Additionally, these mail clients consume more resources than I’m comfortable with, and their background processes ballooning to around 2GB on older devices with just 8GB of RAM was simply too much.

The most responsive and lightweight email experience I’ve found is, surprisingly, the Fastmail web app. However, I hesitated for a long time because using a webmail interface felt like a step backward, and I dislike more vendor lock-in. (For context, I already use my own domain through Fastmail.)

But eventually, I couldn’t stand the slowdowns anymore and made the switch. I used Fastmail's IMAP importer to fetch all messages from my other accounts, added their SMTP credentials to Fastmail for composing new emails, and enabled Fastmail's Labels feature in the settings.

Everything is better now. Processing new messages and achieving inbox zero is much faster, labels are more flexible, search is nearly instant, and the resource usage of this additional Firefox tab is significantly lower than running a native email client.

New features like Memos seem useful, but I’m still somewhat wary of the increased vendor lock-in. For example, I hesitate to use their 1Password integration with Masked Emails because I’m not sure how much of a hassle it would be if Fastmail ever turns evil, and I need to jump ship and point my domain to another email host.
Probably will get flagged, but I get so annoyed by the cynical takes on Meta and their open source strategy. Meta is the only company releasing true open source (React, pytorch, graphql) and now LLama. This company has done more for software development than any other in the last decade. And now they are burning down the competition in AI, making it accessible to all. Meta software engineering compensation strategy pushed up the high end of developer compensation by almost twice. Enough with the weird cynicism on their licensing policy.
> Everything in that sentence is false except the training data part.

You do need to apply on Huggingface to download the model.

> This sentence shows you don't understand the LLM landscape and it's also false.

PyTorch definitely is the most used ML framework.
Let me flip this around.

If you are a user, what feature is react giving you? Pre and post react, Facebook is largely the same to a user.

Pre and post graphql, Facebook is also the same.

To the user, neither of those are expressed as features.

Llama / Meta AI is a feature that changes how a user interacts with the system. When it was added, it’s noticeable. If it were to be taken away it would be noticeable. Nobody was boycotting react.

That is the difference between an implementation detail and a product/feature.

Pick a random number according to which distribution?

You sound like you want a uniform distribution (i.e., P(x in [a, b]) = b - a / total support of D), but when you have an infinite support, the denominator is infinity - 0 = infinity, so the probability that x is in any finite interval in that set is 0. I've never taken real analysis, so my knowledge here is quite shaky, but I'm not even certain that the resulting probability distribution function is well-defined as a probability distribution function in the first place.

Real analysis, aka, real numbers (and consequently infinite sets) are far weirder than you ever expected them to be.
> "The winner is preferred to each other candidate, by the majority of voters" seems pretty straightforward to me.

It is, but 1) the public needs to be sufficiently convinced that all of the bookkeeping reliably determines which candidate that applies to in the face of possible error or malfeasance, and 2) sometimes there is no such candidate (cycles are possible) and what happens then can be complicated.

(And sure, ties are possible in ~any system, but if we treat cycles as ties we've made ties much more likely.)

It reads to me like you're saying, "fret not, even mostly inscrutable things were shaped by human decisions." Is that right?

The more correct statement is: "You might need to fret even if inscrutable things were shaped by human decisions, because outcomes frequently end up unrelated or totally contrary to the human intent behind those decisions even in total absence of malice or even mistakes."

none of those have anything particular to do with the T2 chip and if the TPM in your windows laptop got clobbered you'd still lose all your data anyway. The physical shape of the SSD is irrelevant in that scenario since you lost the key to decrypt it regardless.

again, yes, I know rossman doesn't like apple laptops but this has nothing to do with the T2 chip being some hidden landmine or defect. People just aren't used to the idea of the TPM being a thing that controls their data integrity.

I wasn't aware of such systems.

If I understand correctly, their main feature is that they do not focus on a focal point, but instead diffuse the light.

So I'm not sure if it would be applicable to my project.

This is pretty easy to verify by just knowing how 32 bit floats are represented.

A 32-bit float is represented as:

- 1 bit = sign bit

- 8 bits = exponent; represents a signed value in [-128, 127]. Note that an exponent value 127 is special and reserved for infinity.

- 23 bits = mantissa

Numbers >= 1.0 ==> (sign = 1,
0 <= exponent <= 126, mantissa >=0). That's (2^23 * 127) + 1 (to include infinity). This comes out to exactly 1,065,353,217 for numbers in the range [1.0, +inf].

Numbers < 1.0 and > 0 ==> (sign = 1, exponent < 0, mantissa >= 0). That is 2^23 * 128 = 2^30. This comes out to exactly 1,073,741,824 for numbers in the range (0.0, 1.0).
Fortunately, since we already treat artificial entities like corporations and their interests as if they’re legally people even if it means that humans suffer, we should have no problems ushering in the cyberpocalypse in which we pretend that we’re being equitable to other things we pretend are life forms by sacrificing the interests of some human beings to those of others with the capital to own good stochastic parrots.
Here we go again with the co opting of open source and the marketing open washing. Llama isn’t open source. Sharing weights is like sharing a compiled program. Without visibility into the training data, curation / moderation decision, the training code, etc Llama could be doing anything and we wouldn’t know.

Also open source means the license used should be something standard not proprietary, without restrictions on how you can use it.

Ideally such a Rust kernel project would implement a drop-in-replacement for the Linux kernel, so that Linux distros could select between the original Linux kernel and the Rust 'imposter'. That way the users would already be there. It would just be a detail like GNOME vs KDE, X11 vs Wayland, or glibc vs MUSL.

There are bugs. But Screen itself is running locally and per-user?

I've been using a $35 rpi4 for years, it's been a significantly better experience and cost ($0 after initial purchase) than any abstracted PaaS/IaaS I ever tried, and performance is significantly better than the free or hobby tiers. With no need for regional deploys or to have devs contributing from all over, there's not a huge need for cloud. Also kinda nice knowing all my customer data and other PI is at my house instead of at Google's or Amazon's house. Remember when Twitter and GitHub were storing passwords in plain text for years? So yeah... the peace of mind of knowing a 22 y/o at their first job is not making security decisions with my data and infra! Let alone the fact these companies sell your data including your IP - you agree to it in their terms.

Beyond this stuff, I always found the UX of IaaS like AWS/GCP/etc. to be a nightmare, particularly the IAM experience. Not just navigating their awful dashboard pages, but learning their brand-specific jargon, managing service accounts, staying up-to-date on latest marketing and service breakdowns for every little thing - it quickly takes over your attention (and budget). Not to mention, using IaaS feels like devolving from a modern developer to an early 00s IT specialist. AWS feels less like "infrastructure" and more like a modern take on cPanel but with far less visibility/control over the server.

I digress... in 2021 I copy/pasted my "mono-server" setup from Heroku over to the Pi 4 with vanilla Raspbian and it's been running 24/7/365 ever since. It powers 15+ APIs/backends including a booking engine for a local business in SF, some real-time socket servers for games, and there's both a SQL (postgres) and NoSQL (mongo) server running too. I attached a touch screen that shows the console output in fullscreen, and I velcro it to my wall. It looks like a smartphone charging on my wall or a smart thermostat or something, but it's nice to be able to walk up and see how things are doing. Feels better than checking any dashboard.

I've had to restart it only twice over the years. A couple times it just stopped responding to requests, though didn't appear to be frozen. I could stop it and npm start again but nothing. When this happens, have to fully restart and run IPTABLES stuff again to put it back online. However - that's mere minutes spent each year rather than spending significant time every single day in an IaaS or PaaS.

Thanks for sharing this awesome list, I'm due for an upgrade pretty soon and I am so glad to see so many low cost options. My hope is that more developers get into these mini PCs around the world, and I imagine a future where the Big Cloud providers play a much smaller more specific role (government data, public domain computing) rather than being the de facto platform for hobby/startup projects. Even things like regional deployments and distributed/"serverless" computing can be accomplished with networks and proxying without giving it all away to a major cloud provider.

OAuth. You open the login page in a new window with a callback URL. The third party service adds a token to the callback URL, which authorizes you to retrieve the real auth token from that service.

Not GP, but ~15 years ago tmux offered a lot better screen splitting options and a few other features that screen did not. That's why I switched. I did continue to use screen at work because it was ubiquitous, but then sysads started installing tmux as well and that was no longer an issue.

screen has improved a lot since then, but it lagged behind substantially for years.

Not as a rule. They're entering op codes directly into memory. Occasionally they may pad something with a few NOPs, but that was wasting a constrained resource so it was very rare.

It's consistent with that interpretation (which is actually the line of reasoning which leads to the many-worlds interpretation). What it shows is that if you take the quantum description of the state of the system, above a certain temperature it turns into a state which can be described as if it were multiple overlapping systems which can be explained purely classically (i.e. no entanglement wierdness). This is what many-worlds is derived from: if you model a quantum system interacting with a big and hot system, you will find that for each outcome of 'collapse', there is a part of the resulting quantum state that corresponds to that observation, and it doesn't interact further with the opposite state. Hence the interpretation that actually the waveform never collapses, it's just the states of the measurement apparatus and the people running it seperate into two states that cease to interact (i.e. many 'parallel universes' inside the same wavefunction: they weren't made up just for fun).
Yes, and it is super-interesting!

The fundamental limit is given by the 2nd law of thermodynamics - you can never reach higher temperatures than the surface of the sun, or around 5800 K. We have the atmosphere that absorbs and scatters some of the light, so on the surface of the earth it is a bit lower, but not by a huge amount.

This means that there is a fundamental limit to how small and intense you can make the focal spot in a solar concentrator. The limit is around ~45 MW/m² or 45000 "suns" (which is plenty high, but far from infinite).

Concentrators used for eletricity generation use much lower concentration than this, on the order of 25 suns to 1000 suns depending on the type. There are also solar furnaces designed for reaching much higher concentration by using a different type of optics. The most impressive one is the huge Odeillo solar furnace [1]. I would guess that they could melt tungsten, but I have not actually run the numbers.

I did a talk last week about a concept we are developing for reaching furnace-level concentration ratios with conventional heliostats [2].
