If you want very extensive social programs you have to tax EVERYONE really really hard.

The fantassy that one can pay for wellfare by only taxing the rich more or by reducing their loopholes is a pipedream.

Or you could have a society with very low taxes and very low to none social programs, especially if your government doesn't love fighting expensive wars all the time.

Wars and wellfare programs are all very expensive. Even miserly wellfare programs like what the US got is creating some real debt default risk over there.
I like the term "slow computing". Like slow cooking, computing with a FOSS/Freedom/Privacy mindset takes more time, has some rough edges, but it will also be more gratifying, at least it is to me.

If prices encode information, then we are talking about a one-way encoding. You can’t turn that price back into a description of the whole vast supply chain behind it. That gives us another problem: prices can’t tell us whether a price is low for good reasons (efficient processes, technological innovation, economies of scale perhaps) or bad reasons (pollution externalities not included, use of forced labor, low quality ingredients, corners cut). Understanding these factors (“quality”) becomes a complex ordeal and the price doesn’t help.

It seems like we have an economy which is highly optimized at reducing price, but extremely primitive at making “quality” transparent enough that price can be properly assessed.

A case in point being Amazon marketplace where you can find very low priced products from completely opaque brands with almost zero signal on quality.
"Looks like shit". Time for a revisit my person. But let's not argue taste.

Also: No gaming? Perhaps shop around in Steam, try their Proton. Your information is old.

Btw, I am forced to live in MS365 a lot, works well enough on Edge on Linux (mostly use FF but there are slight annoyances from time to time).

Perhaps you could miss the ads in your start menu? Could miss reading about stars with swollen lips right from your taskbar (allthough that's just a click away)? Having a future in which everything you do is recorded and AI analyzed? There certainly are things to miss. I guess, allthough my wifes misses the old Mail app indeed... Oh wait, well, at least I easily got her on Protonmail right in that moment :)

With persistent refusal of C programmers to adopt a concept of buffer - pointer + length with bounds checks enforced at runtime and as a standard preferred over naked pointers, it is more like hidden lead that poisoned everything. Complete with learned heplessness "oh it's absolutely impossible to do, pdp-11 does not support it, and even if it's possible it will make everything sloooow".
Same. I really didn't expect that (and thus didn't even test it at first).

I clicked "This is blue" whenever a green came up and "This is green" whenever it showed me a blue. Interestingly it didn't bother with any turquoises or cyans when I did this, it only showed me unambiguous blues and greens.

At the end it told me "Your boundary is at hue 180, bluer than 85% of the population. For you, turquoise is green." Which I would've thought was impossible to discern from my choices.

> lazy... programmers

Since when was that a bad thing? Since time immemorial, it has been hailed as a universal good for programmers to be lazy. I'm pretty sure Larry Wall has lots of jokes about this on Usenet.

Also, I can clearly remember switching from vim/emacs to Microsoft Visual Studio (please, don't throw your tomatoes just yet!). I was blown away by IntelliSense. Suddenly, I was focusing more on writing business logic, and less time searching for APIs.

Optimistic articles like this makes gives me a bit of hope that maybe we can start cutting down on current trend of increased total subsidies for the energy sector. Taking a European perspective like the article, subsidies are around €200 billions per year, and €400 billions in 2022 if we account for interventions during the energy crisis of that year. As much as the trend of solar prices is going downwards, the trend of subsidies are pointing upwards with an alarming speed and consistency.

An other big part of government funded energy sector is the reserve energy strategy, generally made by paying natural gas power plants to be on stand-by. A major part of "connection grid" taxes goes directly to pay for those fossil fueled power plants. Rather than expanding the capacity and building new such fossil fueled thermal power plants, existing ones should be under planned obsolescence and be demolished when they reach their end of life. The increased dependency on natural gas is also having an impossible to ignore effect on the geopolitical climate in Europe.

> If your feelings are anemic

I'm not feeling anemic. The tool is anemic, as in, underpowered. It returns crap you don't want, and doesn't return stuff you do want.

My grep-fu is fine. It's a perfectly good tool if you have nothing better. But usually you do have something better.

Using the wrong tool to make yourself feel cool is stupid. Using the wrong tool because a good tool could make you lazy shows a lack of respect for the end result.
I only know QWERTY, given an unlabeled QWERTY keyboard I'd be able to type. If you have a different layout, that's a huge group of people you'd add to your "They"...
Do you have an example? I have experience with both but can't imagine how it's any different when all the traffic patterns are constructed with the appropriate chirality.
The placeholder on the cover letter text input says: "Seriously, just write a couple of sentences about why you love us and you'll be doing better than 90% of applications."

This sounds really, really bad to me.
I think a better word would be "religious dogma" instead of hypothesis.
The motherboard or manufacturer logo is the bios running...

For example on xps, bios is now just when the plain dell logo displays. Thank Apple for that sort of thing.
Yes, those are different enough. QWERTY+Workman is no trouble either. The problem is if they are very similar.
I bet most of the authors and proponents of that hypothesis don't actually think it at all. It's justification aimed at useful idiots.
const foo = () => {}

This function is not anonymous, it's called foo.
Is he wrong though? Voices of wisdom can come from the most unexpected of places. You start to see comedians having more logic than politicians, and politicians having more madness than comedians.
If I had to articulate why I feel the need to do certain things my way, against all advice by people who think they know a better way, I'd boil it down like this: There are things that I see as important to the core idea of the company that nobody else understands. If they did, they'd have seen the need for the company and done it themselves. Its more than just a vision. It's like a hologram. Anyone can see the image, but the founders see the fringe pattern.

I see why all the hidden elements need to be just so or the whole thing is meaningless.

Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass, but it's rare to find someone that truly gets things rather than just going through the motions. If you do, its likely they have their own idea.

It feels like every decision I make gets resistance from people who live their lives in mediocrity. If they really knew the best course of action they'd be the one in charge and I'd be the one trying to give the mediocre advice.

I'm so tired, but nobody else is going to do it right.
Update, perhaps I was miss-informed. Looks like the firmware isn't in the repo, just the web interface.

Disappointing, I had read on a blog somewhere recently that they had released the firmware and didn't look into it deeply enough

> How much more power is dissipated clearly depends on the quality of the PSU

Yeah I know - while "quality" (I assume efficiency) is not the only factor, because low tier PSU (<200W, like Pico PSU) are far less consuming below 20W.

> That'll exceed 5W though.

Only running all the time. Paired with a Tasmota Shelly Plug it consumes near 0W. Additionally it is Board independent and together with a HDMI- / USB-KVM-Switch it can be used for multiple hosts.

I also thought about using PiKVM similar devices on my Banana PI 3 OpenWRT router, so this thing is running all the time and powerful enough to handle this.
Would it be cheating if an equivalent Apple technology was enabled?
I remember him from the Squeak Smalltalk mailing list, probably early 2000s. He wrote a set of bindings for the pcre regular expression library, which I used quite a bit, but which was never picked up for inclusion in Squeak (because pcre "isn't portable enough").

And, with his intellectual property hat on, he was a regular source of advice to the Squeak community (none of it in an official capacity, he would hasten to add) as they worked through the process of relicensing from the original Squeak License to MIT.
> I won’t speculate about why images exhibit this behaviour and sound seemingly doesn’t, but it is certainly interesting (feel free to speculate away in the comments!).

Images have a large near-DC component (solid colors) and useful time-domain properties, while human hearing starts at ~20 Hz and the frequencies needed to understand speech range from 300-4 kHz (spitballing based on the bandwidth of analog phones).

What would happen if you built a diffusion model using pink noise to corrupt all coefficients simultaneously? Alternatively what if you used something other than noise (like a direct blur) for the model to reverse?
It really would be helpful to have the x and y axes labelled.

Rust though does lose some of those points by more or less forcing[1] snake_case. It's really annoying to navigate bindings which are converted from camelCase.

I don't care which case is used. It's a trivial superficial thing, and tribal zealotry about such doesn't reflect well on the language and community.

Amen: TOTP should be on a device with a much much smaller attack surface and supply-chain vulnerabilities.

This was many years back, but I remember searching to see if there was some kind of hardened not-a-phone appliance, without much luck.
I would love to see an OpenWRT implementation, so that your router can be your KVM device :-)
for certain devices such as smartphones, other Smart devices such as TVs are still used for that.

Pretty much every nation on earth contains multiple ethnicities. That's the reality but generally foreigners are ignorant of these sorts of details for faraway places - eg: Sami in Sweden, Druze in Israel, Catalonians in Spain, and on and on.

So, as far as I am aware, any nation that is currently at peace can serve as an example.

Maybe it's the other way around: the more any two groups get along, the less we consider them meaningfully distinct.
Not exactly what you're looking for, but there's Shell in a Box (see https://github.com/shellinabox/shellinabox), that can create a terminal on a web page, and expose an actual terminal application running on a server.

One thing that is certainly doable is also to use a standard TUI framework in another language (there are many of them, e.g. https://github.com/magiblot/tvision for C++, https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea for Go, etc.), compile it to WASM, and find how to bridge the WASM output to the browser (I've seen this: https://github.com/cryptool-org/wasm-webterm, but never tried it).
I've never felt the desire to kill anything larger than a mosquito or fly and never have. Wanting to kill something is definitely not a feeling everyone experiences as a kid.

is certainly in the training data.

Yeah, it's confirmation bias. People do that sort of thing all the time in machine learning research, specially in the recent surge of LLM-poking papers. If they don't do that, they don't have a paper, so we're going to see much more of it before the trend exhausts itself.
Wow, incredible work!RAGGENIE is set to revolutionize how we create custom AI tools with its low-code approach. Congratulations on winning first place at the hackathon!

Thanks for reading! The paper that directly inspired this blog post actually investigates the latter (blurring as the corruption process): https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.13397
Ah yes, because only parents know how to parent. It's not a qualification.

Yes, and that is in fact not my perspective, I only mentioned the ratio in order to illustrate that the fuel weight is substantial.

The right condition is of course J/kg for the fuel + engine + propeller/shroud/etc. package, and also taking into account cooling drag and frontal area.

>Yes, if you compare a slightly modified off-the-shelf automotive piston engine produced in millions, to a small batch jet engine, then yes, the former is cheaper. However, if you need your drone to be both very fast and fly very far (and these two are very important in military context), then off the shelf automotive piston engines are really not an option, and instead you need to invest in something very custom, which would destroy the per-unit cost advantage of piston over jet, and that’s ignoring benefits like smaller form factor allowing for much bigger payload (extra 100 kg available for warhead does make a difference).

The problem is that jet turbines of the required efficiency and weight are actually expensive. They have high temperatures internally, and continuously, and have all these blades and bearings. I think it might be feasible to make them much more cheaply than they can be manufactured today, but a Wankel engine can be mass produced with present technology and is not incredibly bad.
... for every environment that has a network connection ;-)

Does anybody know a more universal solution where you can have custom transports and that can actually run on any environment? (I'd be targeting an 8-bit microcontroller like a PIC18F25K80, for example, on a CAN bus... and somewhere on the CAN bus there's a custom radio link)
I encourage my teams to write logs / output with interpolation with the variables at the end for searchability

For example:

Vs:

Added users (%d)

Then it is much easier to track down where things come from without needing wildcards in the search or to care too much about what might be dynamic in cases where its not obvious.
Definitely agree with this. Most of my personal projects are just to prove that something can be done. Once I know it's possible then the fun and interest is no longer there. I'm not trying to product a "finished" product or something that is polished enough for someone else to use.
It's not up to X/Musk to decide that though. If they feel that way, there are legal avenues to pursue. They should always comply with the court orders, then challenge them. Not doing so is breaking the law and should be punished as such.
> It is not in their interest to promote you or give you a raise unless you ask for it.

In my "big tech" company, it's in the interest of my manager that reports are promoted. The question of promotion is discussed at every evaluation cycle (6 months). We usually decide of a plan with the manager to have the right signals to show for the next cycle.

Also, not mentioned in the article, but is it an heresy not wanting to be promoted? Actually, I just refused working on a promotion recently. Next level means more responsibilities, change of focus, more meetings, more pressure.
So Dutch/German make "begreif" a verb, for Swedish it is just a noun (that means "concept").

But "begrijpelijk" has a clone: "begriplig". An adverb based on a verb in a foreign dictionary. There is no verb that goes "begreppa", it's just "greppa".
The underlying paper is really odd. It says nothing good about King's College London or the International Astronomical Union that they publish stuff like this.

The author Tony Milligan doesn't do any research, the paper is really just a blog post arguing that the solution to belief in aliens is ... <drumroll> ... for scientists to research the claims! The author even invents an acronym for his new idea: the Scientific Research Program (SRP). He then helpfully outlines that SRPs should be built on "robust argument structures", should use Ockham's Razor, should "avoid sensationalism" or anything "beyond the pale" and that whilst it's OK to feed "unhelpful background noise" at the start it should stop doing so later (??). That's the end of the paper.

Weirdly, he also argues that as long as scientists believe any alien ships encountered are derelict or look natural, this is rational and doesn't "step outside the normal bounds of science" (last paragraph page 4). But believing that alien crews could survive or that an alien ship would look artificial presumably does.

The obvious problem with this plan is that most claims of UFO visitations include a government coverup of the evidence, so there's not much available for scientists to research. When evidence does emerge it's usually better investigated by people with an engineering background like Mick West, who can work out explanations to do with camera mechanics and the like.

The guy's bio is perhaps explanatory:

"Current research, as part of the KCL (China) team and the University of Manchester (Russia) team within the Cosmological Visionaries project, takes in the ethical aspects of dialogue building between local scientists, indigenous peoples and national minorities in Russia and China in the face of climate change. The key theme uniting my broader areas of research is otherness and our shared future. This works its way into various publications on Space (other places), philosophy of love (other people), and animals (other creatures). Tony is also an Affiliate of the Lau China Institute."

This "everything ideologically fascinating is connected to everything else" claim crops up all over the place in academia in recent years and always seems to yield low quality scholarship.

We can discuss how this has been implemented all day (and probably agree), but decades in IT have taught me that people use computers differently, especially now that the level of literacy needed to operate one is almost zero.

I am good with terminal, browser, NP++ and few other programs, while some people don't even know the existence of a file system hierarchy, or want to touch things to interact with them instead of typing.
I'm green red colorblind my result is "Your boundary is at hue 197, bluer than 99% of the population. For you, turquoise is green". I suppose that's because my cones don't detect green fully (without getting into the anatomic details of colorblindness).
You should consider colorblind people aswell, this will make the results more interesting.

Because there has been significant academic infighting over whose theory it is, and whether the evidence comes from a faked source.
Furthermore, there's some randomness to this. If I click only "This is blue" the hue boundary is different each time, in the end result. The lowest I got was "hue 134, greener than 100% of the population".

Same for clicking only "This is green", with the highest observed boundary as "hue 226, bluer than 100% of the population".
