I kind of want to see a parody video in an office where whenever someone walks up to the guy's desk with this thing, he flips it to "Busy" right as they walk up.

This doesn't seem to be about forking, but rather contributing upstream using a GitHub-like model.

If you're actually forked, you shouldn't be rebasing.

Nice overview. There is a lot of rebasing going on, and I wonder how that would work when more than one person works on the downstream fork. Force-pushing can easily break other users’ checkouts.
As well as the old myth that putting a conker in the corner of a room will ward off spiders building a web there. The veracity of which, attest to I cannot.
Nobody is saying that. But to continue your analogy, do you not think that in a world where all the bridges are made of wood it would be notable to say that a new bridge is made of steel?

Of course there are impressive projects made with C. But we generally don't build large bridges out of wood anymore do we.
I feel like Microsoft doesn’t want me to run windows.
The costs to run it must be enormous.
If my memory serves me: you used to announce your conker as a “two-er”, or “three-er”, for example, to inform your opponent how many conkers your particular conker had previously claimed. If your opponent decided to challenge you and won then they would claim your “three-er” and add its win total to their own. So a “two-er” would become a “five-er”.

Please read this[1] while keeping in mind that a 14 year old does not fit into Stallman's definition of "child":

> I don't think it is wrong to distribute "child porn" images, even when they [depict] children rather than adolescents. However, making them is wrong if it involves real sex with a child. For the sake of opposing sexual abuse of real children, I suggest that you boycott the images that involve real children. Imaginary children can't be hurt by drawing them.

In other words: pornography involving 14, 15, 16 year olds is all good according to Stallman. He is enabling all of the above by changing the definition of what child pornography is, responding to someone who emailed him asking for advice, and then posting about it publicly.

>AIM and forums coexisted because they serve different purposes.

That's the problem with Discord. As an AIM replacement, it's fine, because no one cares about being able to access other peoples' ephemeral private chats. But when large communities discuss things, it's very useful for that information to be publicly available and accessible from a search engine, and Discord prevents that, locking it all away from any outsiders. If your group really wants to be secret and private for some reason, I guess that's fine, but if you're a group discussing, for instance, bicycle maintenance tips, why do you want to keep others from seeing this helpful info? And why do you want to keep others out? Specialty subreddits don't have this problem.

This is probably more about lawyers than computer scientists.

Due to the interactive and “assistive” nature of LLMs it might be far easier to make a case that OpenAI was complicit in a criminal conspiracy than say Wikipedia or some blog post from 13 years ago.

Plus since these are the new hot thing some overzealous prosecutors would be much more inclined to go after them than geocities. And also I’m pretty sure they are not covered by “we are just publishers” defense.

Even if they do beat it which they probably will the noise and cost associated with defending against any claims would be substantial.

Building the smartest lead generation tool out there
I worked as a machine learning consultant, and one of the companies I consulted for wanted to generate outbound leads using AI.

It was a fascinating problem, and I tried using all the lead generation platforms available, even ChatGPT and Perplexity, but none of them worked.

Eventually, I resorted to manually scraping leads from unreliable directories. A week later, my friend and I built a smart lead generation platform that allows you to find leads using just a prompt. We now have a product demo on our site.

The core idea is that every interaction on the internet, if it leads to a desire for something, should be captured as a lead. Currently, we are focused on B2B leads.

So, if you're looking for specific companies to sell to, we search through the entire internet—including directories, Google search, Reddit, and news sites—to find the exact leads you're looking for. We're excited to hear your thoughts!

You and GP are talking past each other a bit, because they're speaking to the general case, whilst you're narrowing it to tourist-dependent areas. I grew up in a tourist region, and it's been ruined (from the point of view of those of us who are from there, and might have wanted to stick around) exactly as you say.

The complicating factor (which they miss) for a tourist region is that if your "product" is (in part) Small Town Charm, or Rural Character, then you can't build, baby, build without destroying the economic underpinning of the entire community. I wish my hometown had allowed for more hotels (like, decades ago - they were horribly regulator-captured for ages), and had the wisdom to restrict STR before it became such a thing.

For anywhere with a non-tourism based economy, however, I think they are correct: increasing supply is the only possible solution.

It only occurs to me upon writing this that areas without any existing tourist infrastructure are becoming tourist-dependent on the basis of STR, which might be the worst of both worlds. Those places need to allow hotels and (actual) B&Bs, before they ruin their communities through STR-tourist dependence.

I don’t see how storage space in airships could come anywhere as cheap as storage space on land even taking land taxes into account. Airships are not cheap and would need regular maintenance. I guess the water analog of a warehouse would be a barge to get perhaps you’re thinking more of an airbarge concept. Even still, warehouses are cheap in a way that flying things are not.
SLS cost far more then $1 billion. They are not even gone hit the 2 billion $ number anytime soon.

Re: continuing a partial rebase

I haven’t tried it myself, but since you know commits A and B have already been rebased and had their conflicts resolved, can’t you instead rebase -i on top of the partial-rebase branch and then drop A and B?

I think this way at least you still benefit from the rebase --edit-todo, which you do not when cherry-picking C^..F.

Same, but with peonzas/trompos[0]. It's interesting since it's also about breaking the other player's item thanks to the inertia provided by a string.

In short, they're hardcore spinning tops: large, generally with a metal tip, spun much faster due to the string winding, and as mentioned, the objective is to crack the other player's.

Sounds great in theory, but it took NuScale Power 6 years to get their design approved? I hope the AI hype lasts that long then maybe the world would have two certified 75 MWe SMR designs.

Also the NuScale Idaho plant was cancelled last year when cost estimates balooned 3x. 9.3bn for a 460 MWe plant?
Your problem isn't that you're using a local model. It's that you're using an 8b model. The stuff you're comparing it to is two orders of magnitude larger.

Considering that we're still at 15 as the largest factorized number with Shor's alg. on a physical QM, the fact that these companies exist at all is quite absurd tbh. IIRC there are also no useful ML algs. known in BQP\P, and all the quantum-simulated annealing stuff that works on noisy "QM"s doesn't seem to be a big win.

With this context, these "QM" companies are in reality, selling tech. that's even less capable than a vacuum-tube computer (much less a transistor calculator). Unless you care about simulating the hardware they have (for some reason), in which case it has "quantum supremacy" (lolz).
That description of time/space trade-off is completely orthogonal to the concept of software. If that was the author's intent it would be applicable to all consumer-facing industries.
I’m generally a strong believer in “if it’s not measured it’s not managed” so this seems like it would be useful to explore. I suspect it’s tricky to assign a cost to a bug though.

It's not a sport, it's something that kids used to do pre 1950s. People were poor, didn't have manufactured "stuff", so they made their own toys out of simple things like stones, sticks, old wheels etc Football was likely popular because a single ball could keep a while bunch of kids happy for an afternoon (if someone could actually afford a ball).

I'm almost 50, and to me the image of boys playing conkers only comes from books or TV based in early 1900s UK. I've never actually seen anyone play it.

And nowadays people don't really grow up at all. They continue playing right into adulthood and old age, with luxury toys.
This is a real shortcoming, the engineers that ship feature X will not be responsible for the immediate aftermath. Currently we haven’t seen this hurt in practice, probably because we are very small and in-person, but you might be correct and it would then likely be the first thing that breaks about this as our team grows.

Not to take away the brilliance of what is achieved but I think hologram is the wrong word. This is purely about caustics. Amplitude engineering rather than phase. The calculations are just assuming light as particle, not light as wave. A true hologram uses diffraction grating effects and the phase difference from light. There was a very nice explanation on three-blue-brown recently.

I don't think there are any phase effects in the parent attached? Or are there?

Black Swans in Perth, herdsman Lake and elsewhere, in the 1980s during breeding season (and likely still today) fully charged people and had the mass to knock over more than one kid or small teenager .. and scare the bejeebus out of many adults.

As I said, and supported by your link, I can't see a swan directly breaking a human bone - but they sure as hell can knock one arse over by charging and causing a step back fall over. That'll do some damge in some cases, easy.

Totally agree - despite having most bike tools I might need, I'd watch friends time and again pay over £100 for a new chain fitted and maybe a minor 'service' if they were lucky in London. I'd offer to either loan them the tools, make the fix or walk through the processes, but to many people it just feels impossible to start taking a bike apart. The only reason I learnt is that I am tight/cheap and a massive set of (OK) tools was far less than a single trip to the lbs.

A gimlet? Hammer and a thick-ish nail? Honestly I can't remember how we used to do it. Might even have used a hand drill at some point. They're fairly soft when you've made a hole in the shell, so you might get away with a screwdriver?

When at school we probably made do with a compass (the drawing kind), as we all had them. I'm sure that resulted in a pretty high rate of conkers being destroyed before they could be strung, and a lot of ruined compasses.

> Also, doesn't the conker spiral around your hand hitting it and hurting you?

Generally not, though the game isn't without its minor hazards :)

There's a (very sweet) video here that seems to do a good job of showing the process and the game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLGuZZraIqg

Through the exact rules are up to the players and I personally consider the "stamps" rule they mention to be foul play :)
1.- You get a "nice PLMN" for the network and assign phone numbers (and manage key material) only after Ham Identification. DMR Style (at least here in Spain)

2.- Most of them will refuse to join any Private SA network that does not use SUCI and encryption (in my experience). If you have a "nice" PLMN, they will connect. What a "nice" PLMN is varies between modems, the testing PLMN is a safe bet :)

3.- Also gone down this rabbit hole. eSIMs must be signed by a GSMA authorized key, and they are picky. Osmocom people have relationship with someone that signs profiles for them (for pay). The crypto is quite straight forward to do offline, eSIM profile distribution not so much. Key propagation from generator to core network and final client (ue) would also be a challenge. Another option is using the testing certificate, it should remain active in most modems for certain PLMNs. I have yet to test this, but work gets in the way

I am with you on this - it's not impossible, but is it maintainable? what if I break a leg? and when something blocks and you don't know why, who can debug it? that's why we went for a different approach.

The problem with core.async is that it is an excellent PoC, but does not actually solve the underlying problem, that is "Hey! I want a new thread here! And I want it cheap.". Project Loom solves it. Of course, the problem is not something that could be solved within the land of bytecode.
A version of this that would be useful for WFH or private offices is an 'on air' device that you could mount outside your office door, which means it's not connected to your computer and could potentially run on a battery for a week+ or run on usb power directly.

People want to come in sometimes to access a closet, but they don't know if your in a meeting, so it would also need to detect if your in a meeting, and the microphone being on or off is not enough because people often mute themselves. Calendar access is also not enough because sometimes you start a meeting without a calendar thingy, and also knowing if your 'on air' with an open door can tell them if they have to be worried if they could be on camera if they walk by the door.

It could be a very simple LED, it just needs a good agent on your desktop. Also a 'yellow light' for an upcoming meeting in a couple minutes (so this is where calendar access is useful) or an orange light for camera & microphone off.
You could also argue that it traded depth and content for accessibility and shallowness.
