> being actively involved as a father in my children's lives - as much as humanly possible - hopping in and out of Sydney to care for them and taking them on more grand adventures around Australia during school holidays.

Humans are capable of much more care than seeing their children during school holidays and otherwise "hopping in and out of" their lives.

Otherwise, nice article for the childless IT class. Could be split better though, I did not read it to finish.

Well... Arch community is very kind and very active, but Arch is a rolling distro, a paradigm essentially incompatible with stable production systems.

I wonder why not choosing NixOS or a custom Guix System (due to the non-free stuff) instead since their model offer effortless rollbacks and safe updates.

I'd been looking at https://github.com/cosmos72/gomacro/ on and off to get similar functionality.

Eliminating Intermediate Array Allocations
While I agree that Nix is not user friendly, Nix would allow more hack-ability than the current Arch approach.

The Steamdeck modifications often get broken in updates, because the Steamdeck software is an image that is managed by Valve. Meanwhile, with Nix I think it would be easier to maintain modifications, as you could layer them on top of each other.

Also, most Steamdeck users:

- Don’t modify their Steamdeck

- Use Flatpak, which works on Nix

- Run an install script from the internet, such as DeckyLoader, Emudeck. Which often break with updates.

It's a very common pattern in English. "Not just X, Y" means that X is true, Y is true, and Y is a stronger claim than X.

He's saying that not only is it the case that physical controls are superior by virtue of being physical controls, it's also the case that that fact is amply documented by "decades of studies".

I'm working on yet another AI-powered app (shocking, I know). It's a basic command-line interface (CLI) flashcard tool that uses GPT-4 to grade answers and help you learn based on how far your response is from the correct answer. You can check it out here: [AnkiCLI](https://github.com/johnny1011/AnkiCLI). It's pretty barebones—just Python and the OpenAI API. Nothing groundbreaking. If anyone has thoughts on how to make this marginally less useless, I'm all ears.

I think it comes from a long experience of just how stupid people often are despite all of their success. While many certified experts are also often quite idiotic, particularly when talking even slightly outside their fields, or when parroting dogma within their field, there really seems to be almost no correlation between public success and what we'd normally call being smart.
> by thoroughly ruling out other causes of schizophrenia.

This never happens. "thoroughly" never happens. There are many examples of this. Recently a woman who was in psychiatric care fro over 20 years was finally diagnosed with Lupus (NPSLE) and cured.

They did not thoroughly do anything for me. I had to figure it out for myself.

> people largely see benefits from medication

I have a friend with depression and they had her on two adrenal receptor inhibitors (trazadone and risperidone) and she only got worse. They they went to ECT. She had severely constipation (treated with yet another drug, Linzess) and hypotension as well. They they started her on ECT, which did not work and she lost some memory.

The doctors failed to see that adrenal blockers could be causing her depression. I showed her the science, she asked her doc to stop those meds. She she no longer depressed nor has hypotension or consipation. And now she is angry.

They diagnosed her with schizophernia after they started her on antidepressants 25 years ago.

I am not saying medication are not sometimes useful, but I cannot count the times I have seen patients get worse on psych meds.

> He met with a psychiatrist who tried increasing his anti-seizure meds, which resolved what was likely a recurrent partial seizure.

You are still in med school so I hope you learn more. Anti Seizure meds have been the go to for these disorders fro years. They put me on depakote for my modo disorder 20 years ago.

> Psychiatry is not even close to the most profitable area of American healthcare.

Psych pharm businesses are very profitable though, and that is what we are talking about here.

There is not pill, but there is a method. It is called Personalized Medicine.

And by the way KaRXT is not going to work. You should learn about receptor density changes when people take these receptor modulating drugs. This is why they always fail. There are better ways to manage the glutamate/GABA balance if that is the persons issue which it many cases it may not be, or may not be the fundamental problem. And if the acetylcholine is the problem in schizophrenia, why does M1 and M4 receptor in the body have bad side effects but whil in the brain it is good?

I will tell you why, they are using this drug to sedate the patient, not treat the patient.

I wonder why Arch as well, because it's a rolling distro so a terrible model for a commercial/production product/service, but why no *BSD is easy: bad modern hw support, Debian because of a rock solid base but extremely old distro with many issues especially in customizing it (I'm serious D/I and preseed are HORRIFIC).

So I wonder why not NixOS since it's safe updates (an update essentially can't break anything, not necessarily true for database etc outside Nix but still much saver than any other non-declarative distro) and effortless rollbacks, customization etc. It's community is problematic right now, but it's still the most complete modern distro we have, with Guix due to the GNU design a bit behind and all the others FAR behind.

Cheaper than rental costs (in Australia), additionally Australia has excellent "Grey Nomad" facilities as a very big country relative to a small population (same land area as 48 state mainland US, ~ 25 million pop.).

I recently tried PopOS because of it's benefits for having GPU drivers configured out of the box and was told that it would "just werk". And to be fair to it, it did mostly just work (ignoring unintuitive UX decisions in the OS generally).

Indeed. It could work in those cases, but my priority are regions disconnected to the Internet due to government orders or a foreign adversary.

I am old enough to see too many devs abandon open source because it doesn't pay the bills, contrary to the old promises of everyone singing happy songs around the fireplace on a comunity farm kind of ideas.

And also to remember Public Domain and the various flavours of Shareware and Demos, which is what Open Core/Dual Licensing are nowadays, by another name.
I'm not sure I'd even call "local debt" technical debt in ordinary circumstances - realistically there's always going to be mess somewhere, and encapsulating it away where it can't hurt anyone is normal. If it probably never needs to change unless requirements change (in which case any other implementation would also need to) it's fine.

Perhaps if 24 minion instances constitute an actual problem (rather than just inelegance) their example for it is actually foundational debt related having a "minion" being the simplest primitive that would do the job when maybe something lighter could have existed.

What state exactly are you referring to? I'm not trying to play dumb, I'm genuinely curious because in my experience there can be "good" and "bad" state in the frontend (where "good" roughly translates to "inherent to the problem").

> I want to be able to say <carousel></carousel> and have it work, without having to have a whole SPA attached to my components library

A carousel sounds like a great example for something that could be standalone. However, what if 1) the data shown in the carousel needs to be loaded lazily (e.g. because the carousel is near the end of the page and loading the data is expensive), and 2) the carousel's display settings (e.g. how many items are shown at once) depend on the content being shown? I recently had to work on exactly this case. Suddenly, your once static carousel component isn't so static anymore and you have to add a bunch of JavaScript, and also state.

> without having to have a whole SPA attached to my components library, with routing, state

Maybe I'm missing something here but pure React/Vue doesn't require your page to be an SPA or to have any routing mechanism at all?
I dunno, man. You're really under-estimating those steals. Look at it this way: Biggio got himself into scoring position by hitting extra-base hits; Henderson got himself into scoring position by stealing bases. Who got himself into scoring position more often? That's Henderson, and it's not close.

That's not to take anything away from Biggio, however. I always loved the catcher-2b-CF trifecta: has anyone else ever done that, at such a high level? Also, the stat in your list that most stood out to me was how much more durable he was: five fewer years, and barely more than a season fewer games than Ricky.
Debian also has version numbers (11, 12, 13) but people prefer the names releases for some reason.

I don't mind the names too much, and I don't even mind the moving "stable" name, but I do get confused because Debian's names don't necessarily increment. Ubuntu made the smart decision to make their names alphabetical and that helps tremendously when you're trying to guess how recent a particular version is.
I would just rather make more than enough to cover the rent in a nice place to live.
Leaking 33 bits over time, especially a lifetime, is nearly impossible to avoid.

A lot of modern (DSLR or mirrorless era) lens intentionally accept a lot of optical flaws that are easy to correct with software (e.g. vignetting; sometimes even mechanical/hard vignetting where the lens does not fully cover the sensor); to prioritise addressing flaws that are difficult to correct with software (i.e. resolution, sharpness).

The software in the camera automatically correct these things before you see it; and when it's particularly bad, usually this correction cannot be disabled. On most brands, RAW will tell you something closer to what the sensor is really seeing.

This veto document is shockingly lucid, I'm quite impressed with it despite my belief that regulation as a strategy for managing critical risks of AI is misguided.

tl;dr gavin newsom thinks that a signable bill needs "safety protocols, proactive guardrails, and severe consequences" based on some general framework guided by "empirical trajectory analysis", and also is mindful of the promise/threat/gravity of all the machine learning occurring in CA specifically. He also affirms a general appetite for CA to take on a leadership role wrt regulating AI. My general read is that he wants to preserve public attention on the need for AI regulation and not squander it on SB 1047 specifically. Or who knows I'm not a politician lol. Really strong document tho,

Interesting segment:

> By focusing only on the most expensive and large-scale models, SB 1047 establishes a regulatory framework that could give the public a false sense of security about controlling this fast-moving technology. Smaller, specialized models may emerge as equally or even more dangerous than the models targeted by SB 1047 - at the potential expense of curtailing the very innovation that fuels advancement in favor of the public good.
> Adaptability is critical as we race to regulate a technology still in its infancy. This will require a delicate balance. While well-intentioned, SB 1047 does not take into account whether an Al system is deployed in high-risk environments, involves critical decision-making or the use of sensitive data. Instead, the bill
applies stringent standards to even the most basic functions - so long as a large system deploys it. I do not believe this is the best approach to protecting
the public from real threats posed by the technology.

This is an incisive critique of the fundamental initial goal of SB 1047. Based on the fact that the bill explicitly seeks to cover models whose training cost was >=$100m & expensive fine-tunes, my initial guess about this bill was that it was designed by someone software engineering-minded scared of e.g. open-weight releases a la facebook/mistral/etc teaching someone how to build a nuke or something. LLMs probably replaced the ubiquitous robot lady pictures you see in every AI-focused article as public enemy number one, and the bill feels focused on some of the technical specifics of this advent and its widespread use. This focus blinds the bill from addressing the general danger of machine learning however, which naturally confounds regulation for precisely the reason plain-spoken in the above four sentences. Incredible technical communication here.

Vans you can live in don't fall from the sky for free. In the long run they might be less expensive than renting, but one would need to do the math on that and have a really close look at the numbers to be sure.

Also, why is he even doing this? To save money so he can build a home for his kids? Where's that home located? In the middle of nowhere? I don't understand the "Why" in this case because it seems like some effort of being able to save money by not living in a flat or a house so he can save money to build a house in the end.

I guess you can do it that way, but if you're able to work fully remote, find a nice place that doesn't cost much and enjoy not needing to fix your compost toilet?!

Well, I guess it's just not for me...
Author works fully remotely and lives in a van to save on rent. This is not an easy life and it took a while to get used to it (took 3 years to feel comfortable). He also bought a parcel of land to build own house.

My naive question is why didn't he buy or rent a place in an inexpensive area further away from the Adelaide as a step-up to building own house instead? He could still work remotely, have a place to bring his kids to, not spend 3 years on settling to a lifestyle he doesn't seem to enjoy other than a savings vehicle, etc. etc. An honest question.
