> Do your pedantry elsewhere, this is just directly in the comment I’m responding to most recently.

Go learn how to read. Therapy isn't curing people and you from previous comments know that. You can't quote me saying what you want so now you resort to a strawman and "Well you are just being pedantic". No, it's not fucking pedantry, it's what I'm saying that you can't understand because you can't admit to being wrong.

> Yes. I have. Including a relative of mine, and including a person I have coached.

There, you do not understand the autism spectrum if you think you've had a conversation with someone with severe autism. You haven't because DEFINITIONALLY people with severe autism cannot communicate. You have had conversations with people that have mild or moderate autism. Because, definitionally, those are the only people capable of having that conversation. Unless you are pitching facilitated communication bullshit, which is extremely toxic.

The thrust of my argument is clear, therapy is essential and sometimes required even when the individual receiving it does not want it. I gave clear examples, but you run away from those because you don't want to admit to strawmaning what I'm saying or advocating. It further flies in the face of what I know you advocate. So bury your head in the sand and pretend like there aren't severe consequences if you don't force a kid to brush their teeth or do food therapy.
Thanks for the insight - especially that bit about skipping breakfast. I've seen that kind of silly conclusion from poorly controlled data in studies in my field, apparently I am blind to it in other fields.
I was very happy to get symmetric Gig internet at my new place but very bummed that my ISP doesn’t offer IPv6.

I had enjoyed learning about and deploying it on my LAN whenever Comcast added support (SLAAC is magical) but I guess I’ll be waiting for quite a while to play with it again :(
It is worse than that. There is drift within an organism. The genome on your scalp is different than the genome on your toes.

I wonder if it would be possible for SpaceX to set up something for telescope operators to request a "dark spot", turning off the transmitter for x amount of time at a specific position. I imagine the satellites will have to know roughly where they are in space.

Doesn't prevent the issue of optical telescopes being able to see them, but at least for RF telescopes it should solve that problem

When I elected to start taking my pension I think there was an option to take a lower amount with a surviving spouse benefit. (Same is true for another annuity I have.) Different, as you say, from a pool of money that's "yours" with whatever tax consequences may be involved.
My black and white Kobo displays a book cover when it's asleep (with eink, the display doesn't use any power unless it's redrawing, so once a picture is up there, it stays there even if the battery dies). But I don't know what the color ones do, like if they let you choose a background color or if there are even color ebooks yet. Presumably you could make your own color ebook with Calibre and set that as your background cover, but I haven't tried it.

To make them go white, they actually have to use power to clear the image. If you just let it sit there and let the battery die, the image will be there until you recharge it and turn it back on.

E ink is really cool tech (just patented and expensive). But the daylight computer from the other comment might be more what you're looking for.

And yeah you can totally run a solar setup. Anker makes a bunch, for example, of portable li ion batteries that can be directly connected to their solar panels.

Edit: If what you want is a digital billboard or picture frame, there might be some of those out there too, or I think I saw some DIY projects building those out of eink panels and an Arduino or such. Some of them get commercialized on Kickstarter.
The laws of thermodynamics are empirical: all of our physics experiments and observations thus far support and agree with them. We have no external confirmation, e.g. "god's source code for the universe" or some such that proves them to be absolute laws, but given that they hold up consistently across a huge number of observations, in a huge number of domains- we are nearly certain that they are absolute. Gravity itself (e.g. general relativity) is also on the same footing- like thermodynamics it has proven itself to reliably predict observations across a huge number of different new experiments.

This reasoning isn't convincing enough for some (non-physicist) people- there are whole forums of people working on perpetual motion machine designs, etc. that think thermodynamics is nonsense. However, thus far none of their machines have ever worked.

Although I am not a working physicist, I was trained as a physicist (a long time ago!), and assign a prior of essentially 100% to the laws of thermodynamics, from a huge amount of evidence. E.g. I am certain that either I am misunderstanding this paper, or it is simply wrong. I'm hoping someone whose physics isn't as rusty as mine will step in and explain what I am missing here.
> I encourage you to look at the state of Clojure and its usability within larger Java ecosystem. Quantity of material, as usual, is not everything.

For what it's worth, I have been a newcomer to both languages the past few years. Clojure has been way more usable than F# and it's not even close.

Clojure is firmly in the quality not quantity category. Good books, novel libraries, a very active slack. Things usually "just work."

F#? Broken type providers, scaffolding that doesn't work past .NET 6.0, a genuine lack of books. Sometimes things work great, they often don't, and the typed nature makes a lot of these things hurt more.
> Nothing's realistically dropping support for v4 any time soon […]

Or potentially ever, as predicted when IPng was being originally thought about:

We believe that it is not possible to have a "flag-day" form of
transition in which all hosts and routers must change over at
once. The size, complexity, and distributed administration of the
Internet make such a cutover impossible.

Rather, IPng will need to co-exist with IPv4 for some period of
time. There are a number of ways to achieve this co-existence
such as requiring hosts to support two stacks, converting between
protocols, or using backward compatible extensions to IPv4. Each
scheme has its strengths and weaknesses, which have to be weighed.

Furthermore, we note that, in all probability, there will be IPv4
hosts on the Internet effectively forever. IPng must provide
mechanisms to allow these hosts to communicate, even after IPng
has become the dominant network layer protocol in the Internet.

How oligarchs took on the UK fraud squad – and won
For the only significant upstream OSS contributions I've made I was being paid a pretty good tech salary to make them. The first major contribution happened because the organization I worked for was still in an incubation mode and wasn't on the hook to show any P&L results. The second and third major contributions happened because they shipped on a proprietary platform that was built on top of an OSS release, and the company didn't want to maintain those parts in the proprietary layer.

After I left the first company they provided zero maintenance support for the major upstream feature, and I won't maintain it on an individual basis because life moves far too quickly for that. Occasionally I'll happen to run across exasperated posts along the lines of, "Help this is broken for me! Why is my patch being ignored? Is this even maintained any more??"

Chances are you only care because the company you work for wants it done so they can make some money off a product they're building with it. Half an hour dealing with some random patch and/or bug report for an upstream thing I did 10 years ago is half an hour less I have to spend with my daughter before she leaves for college. Nope, fuck you and your bug report.

No, you can't even pay me to fix it. I have a job, and it's already taking more of my limited time on this earth than I want it to take. The email address I used to submit those patches was deactivated when I left that company, and I ain't handing out my current one.

For any minor contributions I made I had to convince the powers that be that there was no real IP or competitive value in maintaining the patch ourselves, and they after much hand-wringing and delay they finally let me push a few small patches up to the maintainers. In hindsight that ended up being more trouble than it was worth because I wouldn't have been the one needing to maintain that patch in the long run. I should have just submitted it to the company-internal repo and let the next guy deal with maintaining that patch.

In spite of all that, my contributions are still there. They still provide tons of value to both individuals and to companies that mooch off of them. Somehow at some point someone somewhere steps up after enough time has passed to review and merge a patch or fix a bug. Or the bug report just withers and dies, and the world keeps turning.
This really looks nice! Congrats!

This looks great. Just bookmarked and then had to double check that I did not just bookmark it a few weeks ago. Turns out I had bookmarked Caddy which is similar but does not deploy the app and don’t think supports Docker. It was the auto CERT that was what I was interested in and what had stuck out in my mind. Have certbot setup and never think about it again, until my server needed to be rebuilt, and I started researching. Good to go for a few months, but my hosting will be up here in a year and going to switch providers and upgrade my setup to 2+ gig so I can run docker reliably. Thanks for posting this one just moved to the top of the list.
Exactly. Even calling it one is.

And even if it was true, that opinion would simply be an indicator of the success of government propaganda. (Lies and myths and skewed narratives, not to be confused with gaslighting.)

Exchanging more frontier LLM compute for higher accuracy in RAG systems
We're sharing some experiments in designing RAG systems via the open source PaperQA2 system (https://github.com/Future-House/paper-qa). PaperQA2's design is interesting because it isn't concerned with cost, so it uses expensive operations like agentic tool calling and LLM based re-ranking and contextual summarization for each query.

Even though the costs are higher, we see that the RAG accuracy gains (in question-answering tasks) are worth it. Including LLM chunk re-ranking and contextual summaries in your RAG flow also makes the system robust to changes in chunk sizes, parsing oddities and embedding model shortcomings. It's one of the largest drivers of performance we could find.
Our brains are machines for trying to avoid future mistakes, and doubling down on focusing on them isn't ideal. It's good that at least you're not also tying them to the past, which is doomed, but that's not what the future has to be. It's better not to focus on fears and let the possibility of the future open up instead.

> Facebook are explicitly not allowed to farm for PII, so unless they have explicit consent

And for the past 8 years Facebook has been fighting this in courts and kept collecting every scrap of data they could get their hands on

> Therefore its unreasonable for them to guarantee them they will never process your data when submitted by a third party.

No, it's not unreasonable. They wouldn't be in this situation if they didn't opt everyone by default in the first place. They very explicitly looked at your "not allowed to farm for PII", said "fuck it, we have deep pockets and lawyers" and literally opted every one into PII farming.

> If you can design a way to stop people's data being processed when uploaded by a third party, I want in on that.

Don't farm it in the first place. Don't opt-in everyone by default into your PII farming machine.

It's also funny how you went from "AI people have no access to user data" to "oh they cannot guarantee user data for people who explicitly opted-out won't end up in the models"

PT's concept of velocity isn't just tracking a number. It is tracking what work will get done within a period of time based on the average amount of work done previously. It allowed PM's to actually estimate when a feature would be completed and how adding or removing stories (or people!) would impact future feature deadlines. Initial velocity was meaningless and only developed over time as an average value of a team of people working together, taking into account things like vacations and sick days. None of this could be done realtime with a rack of index cards as it was something that happened over many weeks.
I searched far and wide for this a few years ago for a disastrous React codebase I inherited that had a lot of unused components, never found anything.

This looks great, particularly the `skip` and `mode` options (which I'm guessing several commenters here missed).

I suppose it should work just as well with monorepos or any other directory hierarchy right? It only "knows" files are unused because they're never referenced in any code within the defined `projectRoot, and it only knows exports are unused whenever they're never imported?

Cool project, will definitely try it soon.

Why is `/tmp` on disk and not a tmpfs mount?
Couple ways to think about it:

One is the Fed dot plots that the Fed puts out with each FOMC statement. These are a poll of Fed governors about what they think interest rates will be like at various points in the future. The midpoint of the current spread is about 3%. You can Google for past FOMC statements and look up historical data, but it's stayed at around 3% since at least 2018, with a slight dip to maybe 2.5% in 2020/2021:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fed-dot-plot-suggests-central...

The other is the rates on 3Y Treasury Bonds, which measure what bond traders consensus expectation for the average interest rate over that 3Y period will be. To go out further (and minimize the impact of short-term fluctuations), you could also go out to 5Y. Currently, both are trading at 3.5%, which indicates that the market expects that the Fed will equilibrate at about 3.5%.

> but the current government backs the judge and give money to congress members to use in their constituency, in returns to get their vote on issues, and that includes to prevent the impeachment of the judge

In other words, the judge is not breaking the law.

What I think I'm hearing you say is you disagree with your checks-and-balances government's application of law, local attempts to change that law has failed for reasons, so now you support vigilantism in order to get around the law you believe was misapplied. And you support a foreign entity to enact that vigilantism on the populace's behalf?

Be careful. Brazil isn't recognized as being an authoritarian regime. You may support Musk is breaking this law, but you may not be very happy with what law(s) he decides to break next.
> We might have been able to migrate to IPv6 wholesale when the Internet was much smaller in the early 90s.

In the early 1990s IPng/IPv6 was not yet invented, and when it was being considered they realized a flag-day (like (mostly) happened with NCP->IP) was unlikely:

We believe that it is not possible to have a "flag-day" form of
transition in which all hosts and routers must change over at
once. The size, complexity, and distributed administration of the

This is sad to see. I haven't used PT in over a decade probably, but I used it heavily for 3-4 years before that. As a contrast to other "agile" tools, it was a breath of fresh air. So simple, everything was all on one screen, so easy to move things from state to state. My team loved it because they could just open it up in a window and leave it open all day, making changes as needed. I don't think I've ever seen anything since that came close to it.

I just logged in for the first time in years and found that I still had two side projects in there. Time to download them I guess.

Hi CJ ;-)

Hope you're doing well! (I built this with CJ).

I'd add a couple other points.

1. Documentation should be more than half of your team's time. If it's well documented, and has copy/paste content, people will use it because they are lazy and you gave them the easiest solution.

2. Don't think of yourself as building the UI library only. Take the time to work downstream in the product and help the product teams convert to the new stuff. If you're seen as friendly and supportive, rather than adding more work on a team, it makes things easier.

3. Constantly show off your work in large gatherings. Most folks aren't aware of cool stuff you're doing or why it might be useful. Show, don't tell.

These things fail when the upstream library team things they are passing things over a wall (npm) to a consumer. Dogfood it by building the product alongside the teams.

Statisticians and researchers, is this helpful?
One big question is whether the devs want/need an internal UI library. If yes, make sure you speak to them a lot to know what they're after.

If it's management thinking that the devs need such a library, or it would cut costs somewhere and the devs have not been consulted - then good luck.
Maybe we’d have a chance if you told us why you have that view in the first place.

> Entanglement isn't particularly useful for communication

I would say is false. Entanglement lets you do some fun and theoretically useful stuff for communication tasks. At the most basic level sharing entanglement lets you upgrade a classical communication channels you have into a quantum one (sending 2 bits and burning an entangled pair lets you send a qubit). You can do increasing fancy stuff if you so wish, if you are sufficiently paranoid you might be interested in device independent cryptography, which is only possible because of entanglement.
