Post title: Charged 3months after fest?

First comment:

So here’s what happened — an iPad from Bonnaroo that had stored offline shower transactions from Plaza 2 was turned on today for the first time since the event. It processed all those transactions, and while they’re legitimate, the festival is going to issue refunds since it’s now September.
I don't know why it's near universal. Ancient egypt had them. Japan loves them.

My stupid cat was acting crazy tonight and I was wondering: "How comes you still make me laugh you silly cat?". The thing was, as usual, attacking its rear legs and them legs were fighting back, going for the head.

I just opened the link to another frontpage article "The perils of transition to 64-bit time" and... Sure enough a cat picture greeted me.

I mean... It never gets old.
This seems worth watching.

“A/H5N1 virus can also infect mammals (including humans) that have been exposed to infected birds; in these cases, symptoms are frequently severe or fatal.[2]”

“Due to the high lethality and virulence of HPAI A(H5N1), its worldwide presence, its increasingly diverse host reservoir, and its significant ongoing mutations, the H5N1 virus is regarded as the world's largest pandemic threat.[16]”

Oh it's like the rhyme "Jack and Jill went up the hill".

I spent all day not knowing whether "up the hill" meant they shipped or didn't ship. So they shipped, right? Or they shipped a JIT but removed the GIL?
This is completely false.

Meme even in the modern internet sense, was used in the 90's, here's Memepool from 1998:

You're pretty good at writing clickbait headlines yourself. Those huge checks are a DoD contract for unblockable internet coms not some handout and for $20 million a month it sounds like Elon is giving them a deal, at least compared to what Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman get every year. They don't just suck the teat, they eat half of it.
Homelab/tiny use case: I don’t. Everything is provisioned via Ansible and is just Docker images and config. The config gets backed up, images are already stored on docker hub.
I somewhat agree, but I don't use tools like copilot integrated into my IDE at all (tried it in beta) and I just hate that the suggestions it made were even worse than what the IDE suggested before.
It was kinda what I wanted but like you said with small errors that were hard to findy because mostly it was working.

But what I reall like is using stuff like edge copilot and other chat-like ai tools to just ask questions and get some, mosty really well, summarized answers. Usually about tech I never used before, haven't used in ages or need to be migrated to much newee versions with breaking changes.

It saves me a lot of reading the docs, fiddling with it, reading the docs again, reading quite a few posts about it e.g. on stack overflow and than finally getting to work on the actual project.

I just ask my questions, try the suggested approach, fact check the docs and get to work
Linen and wool are fibers I havent really tried and I plan to very soon. A couple other comments mentioning cotton does not dry fast for hang drying well some new washers have really impressive spin cycles. The clothes come out way more dry than the washer I have now, which is actually older than me LOL. Anything more than 50% polyester and I dont like the lack of breathability feeling that I get. Especially at night in an all foam mattress.

I think maybe my ideal home laundry room would have a little dehumidifier connected to a floor drain with plenty of racks and hangers. Room temp drying but the dehumidifier speed up the process significantly.

> Streamline your customer relationships with Notion's CRM Templates

It's a joke, but it's also not a joke.

I mean, come on. Is notion really pitching itself as a CRM?

It's not a CRM. Anyone who uses it as a CRM is an idiot, bluntly.

...

https://www.notion.so/use-case/crm

Oh, wait. I guess it's a supported use case. I uh... take it back... I guess...

> If you don’t want to use a dedicated CRM platform or start from a template, you can use a no-code platform like Notion to build a knowledge base or team homepage and modify it to fit your CRM needs.

Yeah, I guess some people will think that's a good idea.
MSN version isn't paywalled, though.
I think an interesting use for copilot would be to ask it to find a bug given the description of an observed behavior. Let's say you're not super familiar with a code base, but yet you have found a bug (or "feature") that should be addressed. Having copilot narrow in on the logical code points to potentially address the issue would be invaluable.

Additionally, I find the copilot code suggestions during code reviews / pull requests sometimes useful. At times, it can offer some insightful bits about a code segment, such as potential exception handling fixes, etc.

I'd like to explore having copilot write unit tests, including representative test data, that can execute edge code paths. I haven't done this yet, but this seems exactly the type of thing that a "copilot" would do for me (not too unlike paired-programming, maybe).

Having a copilot completely write my code base, that's another thing entirely. There would be too much going back and verifying that it got it right. And additionally, I've seen it completely conjure up bogus solutions as well. For example, I've had copilot offer a configuration change that was completely fabricated; it looked legitimate enough that a senior systems engineer attempted to install/deliver the "fix" it offered when the suggestion was completely made up.

Overall, I guess my experience with copilot is not much different than working with any human. Trust but verify.
Levi's and lacoste. My only wear in the back cuff. Ive started to be a little more conscious indoors and put some flip flops to stop the wear there. No other wear spots for me.
Cursor IDE with Claude 3.5 has been very beneficial for me in terms of productivity. Others a lot less so.
Nice to see new things. Does your team know about SwarmUI[1]?

SwarmUI has been nice for sharing workflows with friends who might not want to learn ComfyUI, they can type in a prompt or any other config exposed in the workflow and even upload image input. It’s pretty good.

I would still like to see a web interface for workflows that is more so built for indie hackers. I’d like to see a Next.js frontend that calls ComfyUI on a server, it has a specific workflow configured for that app, and the server could be reused for another Next.js frontend, all that needs to change is the workflow. Letting you create multiple web apps with 1 Comfy backend.

Will keep tabs on viewcomfy, good luck!

A high-altitude detonation is not a "World War"

Obviously (as in very obviously) this wouldn't be the big one in itself, but an entirely possible provocation that could shove things in that direction.

China is a significant inhibiting factor, but one factor among many. "Client state" is a caricature, the relationship is more complex than that.

Also, no one is "pushing Russia's back against the wall" in Ukraine, there are no M1A2s speeding to Moscow

It doesn't need to be tanks speeding to Moscow. A major shift in the ground situation Ukraine's favor (effectively signaling an eventual Russian defeat) could do the trick.

Also no one said this was presently happening, so your use of the present tense is puzzling here.

Putin is perfectly rational.

He isn't simply "irrational", but he definitely isn't "perfectly rational" either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bullied his own advisors to a point where they were afraid to express their own opinions (or even provide rational assessments) in regard the neat little plan he decided to roll into action in the Fall of '21. And what he apparently does in all seriousness believe about his own manifest destiny (as the restorer of the Motherland's natural position of greatness) definitely isn't rational.

There's also the matter of his successors, who won't be nearly as smart, and will likely be far less rational.

The empty threats are working (as evidenced by this thread),

I guess everyone who doesn't agree with your assessments is either paralyzed by irrational fears, and/or a useful idiot, or just looking for a cop-out.
> but I'd question investing in anything that's built on a foundation that relies on reciprocity that doesn't put in their share.

Look - I agree. However, there is not a single person that thinks twice about buying an Android or iPhone handset because it might not be contributing fully to upstream Linux or BSD. People don't care. They don't question it because this is the norm, and frankly neither should Matt if he's going to disagree with the terms of a license he's not qualified to change.

Even the Open Source community doesn't really care that much. Selling modified versions of a program is not inherently a violation of GPL, or even the intent of free software. Matt's disproportionately vocal uproar kinda proves that the only people who care in this instance are the ones trying to profit off Free Software. He's not being righteously cavalier, here - he's being courageously wrong.
Doing the same (though new-session rather than attach) - tmux is just part of my everyday workflow. I use multiple tabs/panes/buffers/windows /splits/whathaveyou constantly where I guess you may be relying on your terminal emulator or window manager for the same features?

To me this reads like "As a user of X11, why would you want your session to start a desktop environment on login?"

Because the first and only thing I'd do unless something is broken is run [startx/tmux] anyway.
what a load of crap

'With global semiconductor demand rising, this move positions the UK to meet future technological needs, including advancements in artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and 6G'?

advancements in artificial intelligence depend on mass production of 4nm silicon cmos, not 100 people doing gallium arsenide for high-speed analog. 'quantum technologies' is vague enough to not be literally a lie (transistors depend on quantum physics to work, as do wires) but in this context it's clearly designed to trick people into thinking 'quantum computing' which is also unrelated to what these guys are doing

> A writer after he finishes writing a book, he goes to a government office, and stamps electronically the hash signature of the book as "Human Approved". Then anyone can search the Book stamp in an internet database. Everything else is labeled as A.I.

Not sure what the point of this would be, the government worker will almost certainly have no ability to verify that the books people bring in weren't written with AI.

> That cannot be true. A massive poll of at least 10.000 people could demolish that myth.

The third link in the pew article I provided has some methodological details:

"Pew Research Center conducted this study to understand attitudes about artificial intelligence and its uses. For this analysis, we surveyed 11,201 U.S. adults from July 31 to Aug. 6, 2023."

> organized by the age of participants

I agree this would interesting. I found a smaller survey (n=1500) that suggests while young people are less anti-AI than older people, they are still heavily anti-AI [1]. Only 20% of Gen-Z states they're "excited about AI," while 29% say they're skeptical and 18% say they don't trust it. This meshes with my experience; even among colleagues that use and/or research AI they're nervous about the impact it'll have on society.

> Ages 18-30 will be 80% in favor of A.I.

I'm curious why you would assume this. In scenarios where AI causes major job loss, young people have by far the most to lose, as they haven't had nearly as much time to build up resources and acquire property.

US military systems have always been based primarily on inertial guidance as a matter of policy. They may take optional GPS corrections for small improvements in precision but they don't rely on them. GPS was never really designed to be a navigation system, even though you can use it for that; the military designed it to be a measurement system. The Soviets could have destroyed it the day it was built, it was strictly a peacetime tool.

Also, what gets exported to Ukraine is intentionally downgraded in many cases, at least from the US side. Much of what they receive was state-of-the-art circa 1990s or earlier.
The influence of 100-year-old viral memes can still be felt today. We use the terms "foo" and "bar" in programming as standardized nonce words or even variable names; "foo" in particular is traceable at least as far back as the 1930s comic Smokey Stover, whose author Bill Holman was fond of putting nonsensical words, puns, and sight gags in his comics. The main character was a goofy fireman who drove a tiny two-wheeled fire truck actually called the Foomobile. This comic kicked off a sort of foo-mania in popular culture, as exemplified by certain Warner Bros. cartoons, in which for instance Daffy Duck would hold up a sign reading "Silence Is Foo!" "Foo" was related to "phooey" and "faux pas" and carried similar connotations of silliness or stupidity; it would combine with WWII slang "FUBAR" to form "foobar".

I gave up attempting to grok the appeal of "foo" when I realized it was probably just a 1930s dank meme, and "you had to be there" to fully appreciate it. But recently we're seeing this whole process play out again so we can witness, as it happens, the rise of a new nonsense word into popular culture: "skibidi".
Yes, it is by the same developer. I use mtPaint as my main graphics editor as well, I have not needed anything bigger yet.
You should have noted that the Shiva crater is far from a certainty or even a firmly founded theoretical impact. Only a minority believe it to be a crater at all.
Is there an opportunity to bring something like this online using wasm?
Notion defnitely had something to it when it only had to be a documentation platform. It was fast, clean and elegant, and that helped to forgive the missing bits (table support or plantUML kind of plugins)

But now that they've added a ton of features requested left and right, and effectively presented Notion as a one-stop solution to every documentation problem, I don't see much taste and elegance persisting. Not that the people you know lost their taste, more that it doesn't matter if they have to say yes to absolutely everything to keep being a one-stop solution that does it all.

In my or people started changing the way they write to stop triggering Notion features, and on the other side figjam and spreadsheet documents are coming back even as it could have been a Notion page.

There's definitely a shift IMHO. Notion will keep being used, but it might not be the first choice when other simpler options are available.
Quantum sensors rely on very precise control of doping conditions. Also these kinds of alloys are used in photonics computing, which is used to interact with qubits. Sounds like that’s what they’re talking about here.
I used to use Notion daily. I switched to Anytype when Notion launched an AI tool that trains on your data.

A bit more of a learning curve but that's an absolute no-go when a tool contains the inner workings of my brain. Plenty of comparable private options.

Intellectual capital is rapidly being migrated from workers to shareholders under the guise of "AI".

Imagine a world where C-suites no longer rely on or support creative minds.

EDIT: They may say they don't train on user data currently but there's nothing stopping them in the future, especially if they are moving upmarket.
Definitely not everything, but it's still wild to me that so many products and services have all their troubleshooting and customer support in a discord server.
> because they all optimize for wind tunnel tests

I kinda doubt that wind tunnel tests favor high roofs, tiny windows and "muscular" wheel wells. Modern cars look like shit because they look like gaming PCs circa 2010 and that's a shit aesthetic that shouldn't please anyone who was born after 1998 because they fucking grew up.
Galileo open signals are signed: https://www.gsc-europa.eu/galileo/services/galileo-open-serv... and it have the same data throughput as GPS L1
Not that many, frankly a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of WordPress[0] users, but I hope that others will take the same position. I have spoken to others who generally feel the same way that I do.

microchips aren't going to do much in a fire fight, they should probably re-industrialize

I wish I had a 70 million/year mid-life crisis funded by web-based notepad.
Definitely going to be trying those soon. Running a dehumidifier in the same room where you dry your clothes speed it up.
I would question the distinctions significance in the context of my original post, to be honest.

And I would not categorise Leonard Cohen as pop music, by your criterion, as it would not be useful. "Pop music" as a term used by the music industry changes it's definition along with people's musical taste. If you take the right moment in time, an extremely broad variety of music would be "pop music".
He has driven the finest masterpieces ever made where man and machine become one. Today it's hard to find that, if that is what you are looking for or are about.
> Calling Python's design "poor" is hubris.

Not in the least. Python is a poorly designed language by many accounts. Despite being the most popular language in the world, what language has it significantly influenced? None of note.
Cursor.ai is worlds better than copilot.

Open up a new code base, ask it to analyze the code and summarize the different main parts of it.

I was making a json schema for a typescript type and as soon as I typed the name of the json schmea, cursor offered to auto complete the schema.

"I think there is a concurrency bug in this file, can you find it for me?" that alone saved me potentially hours of debugging.

When working with APIs I don't often touch, such as Canvas, AI saves me hours to days of effort.
Yep - I’m firmly in the “first half of the story” camp.
I like Notion but I share the sense that it's not really targeted at my use case anymore. I think I could essentially move everything into Obsidian and lose almost nothing in the process.

I just use it for taking notes and writing stuff down. I like how easy it is to drop an image, video, or document into a notion page, but I've only barely used features like databases which seem to be the big selling point, and none of my usage of those is really anything that couldn't just be a plaintext table in a markdown doc.

One of these days I'll get up the gumption to crawl through, excise what's worth keeping into Obsidian , and cancel my subscription. But not today, lol.
> In that case I see no problem with the main sponsor company not wanting just anyone to come and make money off their work.

There is space for that, but it's not open source or free software, and the project should use a license that reflects that.
This blog post seems to blame GC heavily, but if you look back at their earlier blog post [0], it seems to be more shortcomings in either how they're using Cassandra or how Cassandra handles heavy deletes, or some combination:

"It was at that moment that it became obvious they deleted millions of messages using our API, leaving only 1 message in the channel. If you have been paying attention you might remember how Cassandra handles deletes using tombstones (mentioned in Eventual Consistency). When a user loaded this channel, even though there was only 1 message, Cassandra had to effectively scan millions of message tombstones (generating garbage faster than the JVM could collect it)."

And although the blog post talks about GC tuning, there's mention here [1] that they didn't do much tuning and were actually running on an old version of Cassandra (and presumably JVM) - having just switched over from CMS (!).

When you say 40-50 people, are we talking 40-50 employees, or 40-50 "director" level positions? Because 40-50 employees seems incredibly low for reaching bureaucratic mess levels. In my area, there're plenty of small-medium companies with 50-100+ employees that are essentially founder ran with maybe a few higher level leadership under them.

I'd even say if you're reaching bureaucratic mess at such low employee count, then it's strictly a company issue of adding too much management and too many silos so early.
sure, photonics could make sense. what do you mean by 'quantum sensors'? are there any sensors which are not quantum?
This is definitely a thing.

Saw it happen first hand for project management: Notion started promoting the Task Board/GANTT like view of the databases as a fully supported use-case, and the bean counters came straight away to ask if we really needed a dedicated ticket management system.

As our use case was relatively simple it was borderline doable, and our dedicated system went away, even as we knew there will be rough edges. It's not great, but not bad enough to justify paying a full license price for a more polished product.
I imported a friend of mine's Notion into Fraxinus, some software I wrote that is a bookmark manager and a webcrawler and an image sorter and a search engine and annotation system and a visualization tool and is likely to get merged with my YOShInOn RSS reader and model trainer (might eat all my side projects that aren't about images and VR.) It's a tool for understanding, organizing and harvesting a collection of documents (so I got some insight into how he uses Notion.)

In his case, he uses it as a CRM for prospecting and it really isn't that bad at the business development end where you don't have a lot of people doing a structured process. But if you could somehow add some structure to notion, in the UI or with some AI interpretation of the text, or both, I could see Notion becoming a CRM or something else, think of something like a spreadsheet for notes.

Of course it might not be Notion that does it, it might be a startup that does it, it might be an established company. Saleforce is a good comparable because you can customize Salesforce to build many kinds of application but you still need programmers to do it. Is somebody in 2024 going to build a system which is as flexible, maybe even more flexible, but doesn't need the programmer?
Is anyone still using Notion? Serious question.

No. How would it benefit TFA _at all_?

For all practical purposes Linux currently has _two_ stable boundaries, libc (glibc) and kernel. If you move it so that the stable boundary is only the kernel, you still have this problem. If you move it so that the stable boundary is only libc, you still have this problem.

In fact, TFA's problem comes from applications passing time_ts around, which is strictly a userspace problem, and the syscall interface is almost entirely ortogonal. Heck, the 32-bit glibc time_t functions probably use the 64-bit time_t syscalls these days...
