If there is an emergency, a parent can deal with it the same way they would have 20 years ago: call the school, and they will send someone to grab your kid from the classroom. This was not a particularly rare occurrence when I was in school.

The parent has to talk to the school on the phone to release their kid from class anyway.

You should still ship early and ship off in with infrastructure projects, but the changes you're going to make are going to be a lot smaller, and the big ones are going to be planned far in advance. You will still need big changes, and even your small changes require subjectively "more" thought.

Both things are true: you should move slower and more thoughtfully on infrastructure projects, and "ship often" is still valuable advice and a worthwhile goal
Every day we see some new article about how much of a complete piece of shit westerners are and if they just sacrifice this one luxury we will save the sea turtles.

I don't want to hear a thing until the largest polluters are reprimanded by world government first (india, SEA, africa). I have never thrown a piece of trash onto the ground let alone into a body of water to end up in a turtles stomach.
OK, so back to the original point of the thread: where is the vim implementation of something like kubed?

There isn't one, because vim isn't a general-purpose application development platform, but emacs is.

If people don't want to access general-purpose applications from within their text editor, that is fine, but then why complain on threads about new emacs packages for people who do?

My hope is to make this easy with a GH repo or at least detailed instructions.

I'm on a Mac and I found the easiest way to run & use local models is Ollama as it has a rest interface: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md

I just have a local script that pulls the audio file from Voice Memos (after it syncs from my iPhone), runs it through openai's whisper (really the best at voice to speech; excellent results) and then makes sense of it all with a prompt that asks for organized summary notes and todos in GH flavored markdown. That final output goes into my Obsidian vault. The model I use is llama3.1 but haven't spent much time testing others. I find you don't really need the largest models since the task is to organize text rather than augment it with a lot of external knowledge.

Humorously the harder part of the process was finding where the hell Voice Memos actually stores these audio files. I wish you could set the location yourself! They live deep inside ~/Library/Containers. Voice Memos has no export feature, but I found you can drag any audio recording out of the left sidebar to the desktop or a folder. So I just drag the voice memo into a folder my script watches and then it runs the automation.

If anyone has another, better option for recording your voice on an iPhone, let me know! The nice thing about all this is you don't even have to start / stop the recording ever on your walk... just leave it going. Dead space and side conversations and commands to your dog are all well handled and never seem to pollute my notes.

> there is no way of abridging the speech of corporations without also abridging the speech of the humans within that corporation

Sure there is. If corporations (/LLCs) were prohibited from directing their humans to say specific things as part of their employment, those humans can still say whatever they want on their own time.

> Also, abridging corporate speech creates a precedent for abridging the speech of all human collective entities

It's disingenuous to pretend that a corporation (/LLC) is just some group of people. Rather it's an entity that has gone out of its way to obtain a government created liability shield. Conditioning that grant on following extra regulations aimed at mitigating the harm caused by the extreme scale fostered by the limited liability makes perfect sense.

> corporations as an abstract entity created by humans to express collective human will

Wut? The corporate mechanic is that of directing humans in a top-down fashion. The only people thinking corporations represent "collective human will" are the ownership and managerial classes who either are the people directing the corporation top-down, or at least have to repeat enough of the corporate kool-aid to get promoted. The majority of people view them as the least-worst option to receive a paycheck and often see their own wills suppressed - even though respecting that distributed intelligence would often help the corporation (ie "shit rolls downhill").
I'm not so sure about the incertitude you speak of about omega-3s content and ratios in food.

In fact while in Japan I used to specifically select my bags of dried sardine (niboshi) and mackerel cans by the content of EPA and DHA, clearly indicated in mg per 100g. Every such products had these indications with content varying by brands.

I guess that if you master your process you can ensure and advertise a consistent quality.

I’m 2y into having an iPhone, generally liking it better but autocorrect alone keeps me on the edge of switching back to android, that’s how bad it is. It’s not even about comparing to android, it’s just that iOS is bad. If I had a bigger phone I’d turn it off entirely but on a mini it’s juuuust useful enough that it makes me want to throw my phone against the wall _less_ than if it was off.

I honestly want to have a coffee chat with the PM in charge of autocorrect at apple, I need to understand what the hell they are thinking!
I think it REALLY depends on your use case. Do you want to brainstorm, clear out some thoughts, search or solve complex tasks?

Dailies an App that rewards your Productivity
Dailies is an App that rewards users based on their productivity, The inspiration behind the app stems from my own experiences with trying to stay productive, even on days when I wanted to take time off. I used to feel guilty enjoying downtime with friends if I didn’t feel like I had “earned” it. So, I built Dailies not just to track productivity but to help eliminate that guilt by rewarding myself (and now others) when we've truly earned it.

How Dailies Works:
- Dailies: These are daily tasks or goals that you set for yourself.
- Events: You can log specific actions throughout your day, along with how you felt about each one.
- Quests: You can set up challenges with friends and track each other's progress.
- Shop: This is where you can use coins (earned from your achievements) to “buy” rewards you've created for yourself.
- Reminders : A to do list sop that you do not forget important stuff.

Yeah I set up a local server with a strong GPU but even without that it's ok, just a lot slower.

The biggest benefits for me are the uncensored models. I'm pretty kinky so the regular models tend to shut me out way too much, they all enforce this prudish victorian mentality that seems to be prevalent in the US but not where I live. Censored models are just unusable to me which includes all the hosted models. It's just so annoying. And of course the privacy.

It should really be possible for the user to decide what kind of restrictions they want, not the vendor. I understand they don't want to offer violent stuff but 18+ topics should be squarely up to me.

Lately I've been using grimjim's uncensored llama3.1 which works pretty well.

Ok let's try another analogy. Should a carmaker be held liable if someone breaks into a car and steals something valuable (laptop, purse, etc.)? Or how about if someone drives irresponsibly (possibly under the influence) and injures or kills someone in an accident?

Those are things that a significant number of cars will encounter.

And yes if you don't put any effort into making your car secure or safe, there should be liability, but if you put in significant effort to security it is unreasonable to make you liable because there is more you could have done, because there is always more you could have done, and there are significant tradeoffs between security and safety and useability and cost.

Maybe you could build a car that is impossible to break into, but it would be a huge pain to use, and most people wouldn't be able to afford it.

> inflict devastating harm on other humans

I'm not sure where you are getting this "devastating harm" from.

The context of this is the large number of "urgent" security patches and vulnerability disclosures.

The thing is, the vast majority of those are probably not as bad as the terminology might lead you a layperson to believe. Often in order to exploit a vulnerability in the real world, you have to chain multiple vulnerabilities together.

A lot of "critical" vulnerabilities in software I need to patch, I read through the description and determine that it would be extremely difficult, or impossible to exploit the way I use the software, but the patch is still necessary because some (probably small) set of users might be using it in a way that could be exploited.
Not an issue with ath9k. Guess why. Hint: not Rust related.
Yep, unfortunately those local models are noticeably worse. Also models are getting bigger, so even if a local basement rig for a higher quality model is possible right now, that might not be so in the future. Also Zuck and others might stop releasing their weights for the next gen models, then what, just hope they plateau, what if they don't?

Meanwhile you have ignored all other potential attack vectors. Fingerprinting (remarkable how little entropy it takes to identify an individual), zero-days that escape Tor's sandbox, etc. Why does Tor browser even ship with javascript enabled?

Upstream OpenWrt does not use `wappd` so it should not be affected.
You should usually wait to refactor until after you write the code and preferably ship it to someone.

You may not understand what makes a correct implementation. Don't waste time refactoring incorrect code.

You may not understand what makes a performant implementation. Don't waste time refactoring code that's too slow.

You may not understand what the user wants. Don't waste time making something no one wants.

You may not understand how the software needs to evolve. Don't waste time making something extensible in a way that will never happen.

I don't think I'm overstating anything.

My wife and I have owned an EV since 2019. We also still have a couple of ICEs for me and my daughter. I'm not going to throw a car away just because.

I see the cost savings of an EV up close and personal. The only downside has been range for long trips, but 364 days of the year that's not a problem and for the remaining days my ICE does the job. When that car dies, I'll rent one when it's needed.
Indeed, my own experience in my several companies confirms this.

Yes, code quality is important, but we write code to solve a problem for the paying customer. If we can't solve it on time and on budget it doesn't matter how well it has been written.

If you survive long enough you'll refactor the parts that are important.

Also some parts are more important than other, everything with money calculation and potential data loss should be written more carefully.
The worst part of this is, Thorium-based reactors seem to be the future of nuclear, but because of FUD and politics, no one is funding research to find out whether the theoretical thorium reactors are the way to go forward.
That's why we need free firmware. I'm tired of Broadcom and Ralink.
tbh, sounds like "living dangerously" pattern to me.
Commit hooks are not the place for test checks. You want developers to commit and push work so they don't lose it to catastrophic disk failure, theft, etc. Instead, test on push, or before merging. If you like to enforce "atomic commits", well, there's always interactive rebase.
Compressed hydrogen has low enough density that even at dangerously high pressures it would take up most of the luggage & passenger areas of a car, just to get mediocre range. Liquid hydrogen has better density (roughly 2x), but it's still not great, & you're dealing with a cryogenic propellant that's constantly venting explosive gas (so it runs out of gas when parked for ~3 days, can't be parked in an enclosed space, & still doesn't deliver impressive range). I'm all for using hydrogen for things in general, but as I understand it there are hard physical limits that make it a poor choice for personal motor vehicles as we understand them today (size, safety & range in particular).

Methanol or renewable synthetic gasoline seem like they'll always outperform hydrogen for ICE cars.

Hydrogen airships would be cool though & we could make them safe with modern technology (both preventing fires & making the passenger compartment an under-slung survival cell with parachutes & giant airbags so a catastrophic loss is survivable)
> This allows implementation of a new public service with minimal cost to all concerned

I work on private radio networks, and this would require replacing billions of dollars of hardware.

Additionally, to be useful for positioning, these locations probably need survey-grade accuracy of their locations. I imagine they would also need higher quality timesources than they typically have (if they even have timesources at all).
Ollama is not a model, it is the sofware to run models.

> I have read though that omega-3 supplements seem to not do much

afaik that holds for a lot (if not most) commonly used supplements (vitamins are another popular offender). Sometimes the reason is the food matrix effect, where just isolated nutrients are not as beneficial as when they are consumed along with other nutrients. Sometimes (like vitamin D or testosterone), the biomarker is reflective of health status, not predictive.

From this [1] podcast (2y old at this point) I too seem to remember that it doesn't do much most of the time, that supplements are generally untrustworthy w.r.t. dosing and purity and there's also a slight chance of giving yourself afib.

My anecdotal experience with mediatek wifi is it's a very flakey, low quality brand. That might be more of the reason. The firmware is probably unpolished, rushed, not maintained by competent people.
I don’t trust anything as fact coming out of these models. I ask it for how to structure solutions, with examples. Then I read the output and research the specifics before using anything further.

I wouldn’t copy and paste from even the smartest minds, nevermind a model output.

It’s mostly how would you solve this programming problem, or reminders on syntax, scaffolding a configuration file etc.

Often it’s a form of rubber duck programming, with a smarter rubber duck.
it is equivalent formulations - the point masses case is obtained from the spherical in the limit. The spherical case is just more illustrative to show where the fantom of the "dark matter" in the disk galaxies comes from.

>by integrating a mass density over a region.

exactly. When you do that for a disk galaxy you get much flatter curves that the 1/R the proponents of the dark matter insist on (that 1/R is exactly what one would get if the galaxy was spherical or the star was far outside of the disk)
You did it, you somehow made Excel even more error-prone.
So you’re comparing EVs that are > 5 years old with ICE vehicles that are < 5 years old. Or there’s a massive disparity between American and European ICE cars under 5 years. But I definitely have never spent the kind of money on maintenance you’ve described on cars younger than 5 years old.
I write imprecisely but I wad actually referring to assessing how you are at specific things. How you feel you are at specifics bleeds somehow into a general sense of self esteem. I definitely agree on not tying your sense of self worth to the opinion of others, though we are none os us totally immune.
