Photography is a hobby of mine. After putting it off for years, I finally decided to start sharing my photo collection with friends and family.

This resulted in another side project, https://mishmash.photos/ -- a website to organize, share and collaborate on albums (because I always lose photos when going on trips with friends). There are better apps out there for this, but this one is mine.

Communication is not quite "free", but it is effectively unmetered. Compare with pre-internet communication, where "long-distance" calls (outside your area code) were billed per-minute. An hour-long conversation with your boyfriend who lived an hour away? $5. Across the country? $10. Across the world? $100.

For data, Compuserve charged $5/hour for access, regardless of whether you used 300bps or 28.8kbps. So a 1MB download could cost anywhere from 50 cents (28.8k at night) to $10 (2400bps during the day). And that was in addition to the cost of having a phone line in the first place, not to mention the hardware--a decently fast modem cost several hundred dollars, and needed to be replaced every couple of years as the tech was improving relentlessly.

A service like Youtube with on-demand streaming video of just about any content you can imagine would certainly be worth hundreds of dollars a month. Hell, cable television with 50 channels was $30-50/mo (or more depending on whether or not you splurged for HBO/etc), and that was whatever grab bag of content they decided to include.

Remember too that all these are 1990s prices, so you need to at least double them to account for inflation.

I would say that Alan Kay was trying to create something like Erlang, if you look at the early plans, and the terminology like "messages". But due to hardware limitations of the time, he ended up with a much less capable system, lacking the asynchronicity and heterogeneity.

Erlang appeared 15 years later, and was / is quite successful in certain niches, more recently also as Elixir.

So it'd be better for these companies to not pay for their own resources? It's better to let Microsoft consume so much power that it browns out the local grid?

I think you were too busy chugging that contrarian kool aid to spend even one moment thinking about what you're arguing for.
I building a web app around a tool I originally built for myself for interview prep. It basically lets you generate interview questions then practice them in a leetcode-like interface that includes an AI tutor chat ui.

I personally use it as well. https://hinterviewgpt.com

I agree, this CPU has double the transistors of a 6502, and runs at 1/20th of a 6502 speed. A silicon product will be faster, the size of a printed dot and use less power.

Yes, in the early days of cell phones, it was easy to purchase a scanner from Radio Shack, cut a few resistors and then be able to listen in on phone calls. Radio Shack, the FCC, cell phone companies, and pretty much everyone else involved knew about this but it was allowed to continue because the scanners as sold were unable to eavesdrop, which was good enough for them to be legal.
Did you read the whistle blower commentary on internal notes on the plane that had the door plug blowout? It wasn't a supplier issue: the people inside the factory had an off-the-books message board that directly discussed what happened on that plane, and it was precisely because the Boeing employees that removed the door failed to record the door removal in the official logs that the failure to properly reattach the bolts was not detected. Door removal is one of the activities that would have required a reinspection. It was Boeing's fault through and through.
PR pro tip: if you're being portrayed negatively in various media and want to correct/respond to/counteract that portrayal, you need people to be able to hear your side of the story. And of the people that have heard about the Wordpress drama, statistically speaking approximately zero of them will sit through a 2 hour interview video, so consider summarizing your points in some other form (and "changed my mind on a few things" is not a summary)

> What LLMs have taught us is a superficial grasp of language is good enough to reproduce a shocking proportion of what society has come to view as intelligent behaviors

I think that LLMs have shown that some fraction of human knowledge is encoded in the patterns of the words, and that by a "superficial grasp" of those words, you import a fairly impressive amount of knowledge without actually knowing anything. (And yes, I'm sure there are humans that do the same.)

But going from that to actually knowing what the words mean is a large jump, and I don't think LLMs are at all the right direction to jump in to get there. They need at least to be paired with something fundamentally different.
I'll take even the worst, unkempt dining experience at a deep south waffle house over the treatment that europoor Parisians give to those who don't speak perfect french at even high end restaurants in the heart of Paris. Also, foie gras, traditional veal, and many other European delicacies are disgusting (ethically).

Coincidental, even the ghettos of Baltimore/Detroit likely have a higher GDP per capita than most of continental Europe, and this is validated by the increasingly hilarious US-euro monetary exchange rate.

I'm comforted by seeing lots of snapbacks and "SUPREME" printed on clothes by the five-year-old minded Americans around me, because the alternative is hollier-than-thou European mentality of 1. requiring money to use public bathrooms, 2. not giving water by default at many restaurants (and being too poor for ice when asked for it), and 3. spitting in the food of/protesting the existence of the expats/tourists/immigrants who bankroll your entire nations existence in the first place.

The 1-bit serial version is 2100kGe (excluding registers). Their talk claims the 4-bit variant is 2.5x larger (while being 4x faster) which is around 5250kGe. Add in all the registers and you get pretty close to that 13kGe number (assuming you're using 31 registers instead of 15 in the 32e spec).

Maybe it's the youth in me, but I wholly and fully agree with PG here, and I strive to live by it. However, there's another fascinating school of thought that I read about back when I was an undergrad. It comes from Richard Muller, who used to be quite active on Quora back in the day:

> “Follow your passion” or the similar “Follow your dreams.” I’ve seen this advice lead people into paths in which they could not have productive lives or support themselves or families.

> With this advice, many kids will choose to become professional athletes, and then fail. My daughter (Elizabeth Muller) once wanted to become a professional dancer. I think she is very glad now that she instead went to UC San Diego, majored in math and literature, and got a masters degree in international management. (She is now the CEO of our non-profit BerkeleyEarth.org.) One of her friends, in contrast, decided to become a professional bicycle racer (encouraged by her parents) and she now supports herself by selling and repairing bicycles. Nothing wrong with that, but I don’t think it was what she envisioned when she took this career path.

> I suggest to children that before they set out on a career path, they consider what will happen if they are the 1000th best in the field. If your field is boxing, you will either be completely out of work, be a sparring partner, or (if you are lucky) be running your own gym. (Or, maybe, you’ll be an enforcer for some mob.) If you are a ballet dancer, it is unlikely that you will be performing; you will probably be teaching children how to dance ballet. If your field is physics or math, you will have very good income, have the respect of your neighbors (maybe they’ll think you are a genius), and a good diverse and productive life.

> I suggest instead that you teach children to try to plan their future lives, to design their futures. They should approach it as they would a challenging homework problem. Learn more about possible careers, and what they are like. Don’t choose too early, since many careers (running Berkeley Earth?) are not obvious to a youngster. Get a broad education, and do a good job at it. Study hard and learn. Get familiar with the world. Beware of childhood passions; they are based on a limited experience, and may not be a good choice for a career.

The big tech companies are already “into power” - they (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc) are constantly investing in power projects close to their data centers and manufacturing hubs.
Except bitcoin had no practical value. I think only the most jaded think AI has no practical value. Most lucid observers recognize there’s immediate value and the future is either “a lot of value” or “mind boggling amounts of value,” or some middle ground. Most lucid observers of crypto realize its primary value is in sanctions evasion, money laundering, and other illegal transactions. Not saying no one finds practical value in that but it’s not broadly useful to society.
It wasnt tech companies that "got into telecoms", it was telecoms that overbuilt infrastructure which tech companies later bought up for a song when the bubble popped.

> but it is a biological disease

I want to be charitable because I think I know the point you're trying to make in your comment, and what I want to say is mostly to the side of that. But I think that this statement at best glosses over what's been a long, expensive, and heated (though sincere) scientific conversation about schizophrenia over the past century and change. It's one that not only includes a substantively fruitless search for any underlying pathophysiology, but a spirited conversation about the validity, reliability, and plain-English usefulness of the concept itself! Further, this conversation is far from the stomping grounds of cranks and scammers; it has taken place inside what you might call the most orthodox psychiatric and psychological institutions: the APA, the major high-impact journals, fancy universities etc etc.

So when an eminence like Robin Murray, knighthood and all, can go into Schizophrenia Bulletin (2017) and write something like ...

"I expect to see the end of the concept of schizophrenia soon. Already the evidence that it is a discrete entity rather than just the severe end of psychosis has been fatally undermined. Furthermore, the syndrome is already beginning to breakdown, for example, into those cases caused by copy number variations, drug abuse, social adversity, etc. Presumably this process will accelerate, and the term schizophrenia will be confined to history, like 'dropsy.'" [1]

... saying that we know it's a biological disease as part of broader claims about treatment effectiveness doesn't tell the whole story. (I encourage everyone to read Murray's reflections in the linked article, as it's a fascinating retrospective on an illustrious career in psychosis research and psychiatry.)

Nat Friedman estimated that if we stopped developing new models today, we’d have 5-10 years worth of innovation to tap into before we’d need more models.
This just doesn't happen much. Usually a whole app shares one instance of Lit.

I did see one very badly configured app pull in six copies of Lit once because their bundler wasn't deduping, but: 1) that's still less than a React, and 2) an `npm dedupe` run fixed it.
How did you observe that it was phoning it home? My network monitoring indicates it’s only checking firmware, but I have 2024 models.
Yeah I was unclear there - I meant the other use of the & operator, 'foo & bar' where bar starts after foo completes. AFAIK, if you ran foo by itself, there's no way to make bar automatically run after foo completes.

I'll raise my hand here. Took antidepressants for a year. Successfully weaned off of them. Have not had recurrence of symptoms.

I needed the boost to be able to get out of bed often enough to do the work in therapy. That led to being able to take other actions that helped my brain chemistry too, like eating better food, which reduced inflammation, and getting outside more often.

My doc said her experience was about half and half. Half of people were able to wean off successfully. Half ended up deciding it was better to stay on.

Recovery does happen. For lots of us.
Samsung did make a camera with most of those features (it was before 5G, so 3G I think). I had it, it sucked a lot.

Turns out physical buttons for most things is very important if you want to be able to rapidly change settings as required for capturing a moment. Whenever I tried using that camera I lost so many shots due to the delay of fiddling with menus or the startup time.
I'm scared to ask, but how big is said CPU (and how many kW is it putting out)?
Let's Connect
Broadly, I agree with you. C strings were a mistake. The standard library is full of broken shit that nobody should use, and worse, due to the myriad of slightly different "safe" string library functions, (a completely different subset of which is supported on any given platform,) which all have different edge cases, many people are over-confident that their C string code is actually correct. But is it? Is it checking errors? Does your function ensure that the destination buffer is null-terminated when it fails? Are you sure you don't have any off-by-one issues anywhere?

Correct as you may be though the argument here is that you should just write raw structs into Unix sockets. In this case you can't really use pointers. So, realistically, no slices either. In this context a fixed-size buffer is quite literally the only sensible thing you can do, but also, I think it's a great demonstration of why you absolutely shouldn't do this.

That said, if we're willing to get rid of the constraint of using only one plain C struct, you could use offsets instead of pointers. Allocate some contiguous chunk of memory for your entire request, place struct/strings/etc. in it, and use relative offsets. Then on the receiver side you just need some fairly basic validation checks to ensure none of the offsets go out of bounds. But at that point, you've basically invented part of Cap'n'proto, which begs the question... Why not just use something like that instead. It's pretty much the entire reason they were invented.

Oh well. Unfortunately the unforced errors of D-Bus seem like they will lead to an overcorrection in the other direction, turning the core of our operating system into something that I suspect nobody will love in the long term.
Sadly, I think the modern alternative for ncurses-based interfaces is javascript.
Where/how did you learn welding? Have been considering doing a community college welding course (as they have all the equipment, instruction, etc.).
Agree, but it's also a question of where do you start from -- 10x is a lot to give up, and knowing you're giving it up is pretty important.

That said, the people who built iceoryx2 obviously believe it's worth investing in, which is interesting.
It's such a long-running thing that it's hard to gauge whether it's deliberate or just loose usage.

I think it kind of has to do with kubernetes, in that kubernetes embeds assumptions in its design and UI about the existence of a kernel capability which is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike the cpu.max cgroup knob, and then tries to use cpu.max anyway. Leaving CPUs idle when threads are runnable is not normally a desirable thing for a scheduler to do, CPU usage is not measured in "number of cores", and a concurrency limit is about the least-energy-efficient way to pretend you have a slower chip than you really do.

There is a reason these particular users keep stepping on the same rake.

cpu.uclamp.max is a little closer to the mental model k8s is teaching people, but it violates the usage=n_cores model too, and most servers are using the performance governor anyway.
