I don’t have many hard rules I follow about specific standards or parts when I shop for a bike, but I do have one guideline I adhere to:

I only buy bikes with online tech manuals containing exploded diagrams, dimensions, part numbers, and torque specs.

I look through the parts and verify that either the manufacturer has spares available on their web store or that they’re common parts available anywhere. I also look up older models and make sure the manufacturer still has manuals and parts for them too so I have confidence I will still be able to get parts in 5 years or so.
This is a "Unabomber"-style prescription to the problem. The problem isn't shared libraries and the solution isn't static linking everything because that's wasteful for repetitive binary code duplicated N times consuming disk and RAM pointlessly. The problem is solved by management and cooperative sharing of shared libraries that don't rely on a fixed, singleton location or only allowing a single configuration of a shared library, but allow side-by-side installations of multiple version series and multiple configurations. Nix mostly solves these problems, but still has teething problems of getting things to work right especially for non-code shared file locations and dlopen program plugins. I think Nix is over-engineered and learning-curve user-hostile but is generally a more correct approach. There is/was a similar project from what was Opscode called Habitat that did something similar. Before that, we used Stow and symlink forests.
Looks good but it could be half the price and still be overpriced.
I'm always amazed at how many nurses take your BP with your legs hanging off of the side of a table, back unsupported.
I am not suggesting that people in extreme cold climates not heat their house at all and burst pipes, etc. but you could, for example heat your house to 65F instead of 72F and use about 25-30% less heating energy, and still keep family members that like it warmer comfortable. If you drop it to 60F that uses close to half the heating energy on average that heating to 72F.

Personally, I live in a mild climate where it rarely gets below 50F or over 85F outside, and I just leave the windows open year round and let the house fluctuate between about 60F and 80F, and find it very comfortable without using anything but different clothing. It is interesting that even with all of the windows open the house averages out the evening lows very well, and stays about 10F warmer.
Disagree. The web wouldn't be anywhere near as successful if you needed to trust & "install" websites before you could visit them. How does that work? Why don't you need to install / trust a website to use it? Well, because it has this kind of security model. Websites are sandboxed.

The web's sandboxed security model makes it better for users. And that in turn drives popularity.

I think the same could be true for a good application platform. The trick is using the sandboxing + capability based security model to enable "new" usability features that traditional applications can never deliver.

Yeah, I didn't go to the dentist for a few years when I was in grad school and had no insurance. My first visit with a new dentist he informs me I had three cavities. I had no pain but just thought it was prudent to get checked out. I went ahead with the fillings and he nicked a nerve. For days I was in horrible pain and just assumed that was what happened when you had a filling. A few years later I started experiencing extreme shooting pains in the side of my mouth. Then an abscess formed. It turned out the tooth was dying and I had go get a root canal (which actually wasn't that bad).

The root canal was eight years ago. I brush and floss twice a day (brushing without flossing feels weird to me now). I haven't been to the dentist since before the pandemic and my teeth feel completely fine.

Everything is relative ;-) Hash in the context of places where you'd ride your bike is a very different kind of hash than let's say, the weather on mercury or pluto.
Here's the interesting part of this. I do have what I will call potential co-founders identified and ready to go on this. The reason I cannot present them or list them on applications, decks or documents is that they have jobs and cannot risk becoming publicly visible until we can bring them onboard.

One of the realities of older entrepreneurs is that we have greater responsibilities and constraints in life, often going beyond ourselves, to include family, kids, etc.

In all cases I was careful to make this very clear and discuss the fact that there are two cofounders ready to go as soon as we get funded. And, in fact, in a couple of meetings I went as far as introducing them, talking about where they work, what they do and how they will contribute --without it being put down on paper or in any form that could be shared out of my control.

Regarding single founder. Well, I founded and self-funded a company out of my garage and got it to the point where we got acquisition offers from a highly recognized, internationally known company for tens of millions of dollars. I understand precisely how difficult it is to be a single founder. I also understand how it is almost impossible for a 20-something fresh out of school to endure the sheer torture entrepreneurship can be. I get it. I also understand that saying "single founder" does not at all tell the full story, just like not everyone who studied physics can be Elon Musk.
It samples heart rate every 5-30 minutes in the background (for long term tracking and sleep), or continuously while you're asking it to do so, same as any common smart watch. There's a command to begin realtime heart rate reporting, and a command to stop it.
Sure! I'm an optimist at heart and think a lot of people can learn though :)

And note that static linking doesn't prevent third-party distributors like Linux maintainers from patching software. It's just that a lot of the current tooling can't cope too well with tracking statically linked dependencies. But that's just a technical problem.

GitHub's vulnerability tracking has been fantastic in this regard.
I can't think of a reason QR is better other than price. I actually find it easier to mount and unmount the wheels with thru-axle. They're not really permanently installed though, so they can be stolen if you know how to take them off.
I still floss because I think its gross and I have bad gaps in some of my teeth, but I think flossing can also cause harms, for example some floss has PFAS in it.

I'd love for this thing to be feature-flexible enough to use it for the exact opposite: running TV/screen/videogame timer for the kids!

Looks great, love the dial/switch big button combo, and the opportunity to buy something attractive that's a "hackable screen with buttons" is very high for me.

Another likely use is to be a controller for audiobooks or music in our rumpus if I ever get a hold of one. Again, drivable by kids and oldies who visit is a huge plus.
It's so odd how experiences vary on this. I'm in my 40s (in the US) and still have all four of my wisdom teeth. When I was a young adult, my dentist told me that they were all intact, and (over time) not moving, so there was no reason to do anything with them. I've gone through a few other dentists in other places since then, and no dentist (including a recent one I had that annoyed me by recommending harmless but unnecessary procedures so they could pad their bill for my insurance) has ever pushed me to get my wisdom teeth removed. When I've started as a new patient at a new practice, they've noted I still have them, and after I say "yup, they've been stable since I was a kid, and cause me no pain", they immediately move on and don't bring it up again.
Why problem 912 specifically?

On a side note, I remember when the website got hacked [1][2].

Many people, including myself, migrated to other platforms, but Project Euler problems always remained math-focused compared to the myriad of other websites like LeetCode and HackerRank, among others, listing programming-focused problems, which eventually popularized the use in modern tech interviews.

I think interruptions damage the productivity overall, not only of engineers. Maybe some are unaware of it, and others simply don’t care. They don’t want to sacrifice their own productivity by waiting on someone busy, so they interrupt and after getting the information they want, they feel good. From their perspective, the productivity increased, not decreased.

Some engineers are more likely to avoid interrupting others because they can sympathize.
On the page it states:

Our novel shared-attention architecture allows more parameters to be allocated to the Mamba2 backbone. In turn, the shared transformer block preserves the rich cross-sequence dependencies of the attention computation.

so sounds like it is transformer based?
You're ignoring all the non-desktop/laptop processors.

In some cases you might have the excuse that, well, you did say on the tin not to do this with the unsafe element. For example if I use Bob's "I need exclusive control of GPIOs 2, 3 and 6" and also Kate's "I need exclusive control of GPIOs 1, 2 and 4" unsafe code, then it's my fault, they did both tell me this requirement and they clash.

But in general this is specifically a bug in the unsafe code. The Rustonomican is very clear that it's not the safe code's fault that your unsafe code doesn't work. In the scenarios with conflicting libraries I guess it's the fault of somebody who linked conflicting libraries, but it's definitely never the safe code.
I work at Cartesia, which operates a TTS API similar to Play [1]. I’d be willing to venture a guess and say that our TTS model, Sonic, is probably SoTA for on-device, but don't quote me on that claim. It's the same model that powers our API.

Sonic can be run on a MacBook Pro. Our API sounds better, of course, since that's running the model on GPUs without any special tricks like quantization. But subjectively the on-device version is good quality and real-time, and it possesses all the capabilities of the larger model, such as voice cloning.

Our co-founders did a demo of the on-device capabilities on the No Priors podcast [2], if you're interested in checking it out for yourself. (I will caveat that this sounds quite a bit worse than if you heard it in person today, since this was an early alpha + it's a recording of the output from a MacBook Pro speaker.)

I like looking at the Xrays of my teeth, it's fun. Current dentist will talk about the status of problem teeth, and maybe after a few years think it gets worse and needs to be filled, or the fluoride took care of it. Seems a little extra, but it's safe.
You can find heaters using the term "parabolic infrared heater". This is what I use for my basement studio, where I frequently produce music and thus do not want a heater with a fan (like many basements, it's quite a bit chillier than the rest of the house). Something like this [1], which appears to be a differently-branded identical unit to the one I actually purchased in Canada [2]. You can point this thing directly at yourself and you'll be perfectly comfortable even in a very chilly room, and it's noiseless.

Caveat emptor: in my experience, these things only last one or two seasons. But paying $25 or $50 to be comfortable for the winter is worth it. There are more expensive, presumably more durable wall-mounted options as well. [3]

I've also tried various methods like electric blankets and pads but I find the sensation of direct heat like that kind of annoying, plus I often end up with a warm butt and cold fingers, which is not ideal for music or coding.

>I agree that this sort of thing is a problem, but it's not a fundamental problem with the existence of these services.

Well, it kinda is a fundamental problem, with regard to the original article's premise that scale is a problem. These services can't operate on VC's terms without scaling up to a national or global level. And this, by its nature, means your Uber problem in California follows you to Georgia, and possibly to Uzbekistan.

What if Uber shares its ban list with Toasttab? Or if Uber buys Toasttab?

Laws may be able to address this, but laws always lag. Sometimes by a lot.

The build time is pretty significant actually. E.g. NixOS takes this to the extreme and always rebuilds packages if their dependencies change. It can take days to rebuild affected packages, and you typically can't easily update in the meantime. This is worse if the rebuild breaks something since someone will have to fix or revert that before it can succeed.

For non-security updates, they can do the rebuild in a branch (staging) so it's non-blocking, but you will feel the pain on a security update.

In practice, users will apply a config mitigation if available or "graft" executables against an updated lib using system.replaceDependencies, which basically search and replaced the built artifacts to use a different file path.
Interesting how pretty much all the example images look like renders/paintings as opposed to photographs. Maybe that's what it's trained on?
Will this remain self-bossware or is the plan to impose on users?
Maybe the people who use "know" in the way you don't are talking about something other than brain states or qualia. There are lots of propositions like this; if I say, "I fathered Alston", that may be true or false for reasons that are independent of my brain state. Similarly with "I will get home tomorrow before sunset". It may be true or false; I can't actually tell. The same is true of the proposition "I know there are coins in the pocket of the fellow who will get the job", if by "know" we mean something other than a brain state, something we can't directly observe.

You evidently want to use the word "know" exclusively to describe a brain state, but many people use it to mean a different thing. Those people are the ones who are having this debate. It's true that you can render this debate, like any debate, into nonsense by redefining the terms they are using, but that in itself doesn't mean that it's inherently nonsense.

Maybe you're making the ontological claim that your beliefs about X don't actually become definitely true or false until you have a way to tell the difference? A sort of solipsistic or idealistic worldview? But you seem to reject that claim in your last sentence, saying, "it is only the knowledge itself that is false."

Fukushima is really the only outlier, and the lesson learned should be it's probably a bad idea to build nuclear reactors near active fault lines.

Most of the extremely pessimistic total cost estimates are around $750B for Fukushima, and that's not the present value. That's money spent so far in the future the discount rate is substantial. Japan's official estimate is $187B, with probably a $100B NPV.

Chernobyl was an inherently (and well known) unsafe design. When you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

The cost of burning fossil fuels is estimated to be well, well over $1T.

Your business model is not my responsibility; you're giving away content for free by your own choice. It's cool that you've found "one cool hack" to earn some money while giving away your content for free, but the people who accept your free content do not owe you the author anything. The author is free to require upfront payment for access, and the audience is free to pay or leave. But the audience of free content doesn't owe you the author anything, as the author has no contract relationship with the audience. When we visit a blog post we do not sign some contract and never have (some sites have tried to move the goalposts with banners like "by clicking this link you owe us your souls and thus your eyeballs" but that's pretty transparently hogwash).

Saying "you want to use an adblocker, thus you're just a thief!" can validly be escalated with the exact same logic by saying "why don't you click on every ad you see, that's the only way the benevolent authors get paid you know, if you're not doing that then you're just a thief!" It's all nonsense fundamentally because the audience consuming your content for free doesn't owe the author anything (as much as authors in this scenario will wish otherwise).

To be clear, making content explicitly for-pay I think is amazing and is the clear future. As ads race to be as annoying as possible, users are going to run out of patience and seek alternative sources of information/entertainment, and some number of users will opt for sources that require payment. That's GREAT for the industry as it means users stop expecting everything for free and become selective with their dollar, allowing niche content much more money. This is happening with many small-time independent video publishing platforms (Dropout.tv, Nebula, Floatplane, CorridorDigital, countless creators on Patreon, independent movies published via VHX.tv, etc) to fantastic effect.
Have you checked luanti (ex minetest)? It might be a good replacement.
Anything can be stolen given unreasonable dedication, but that's not the point. The point is to deter by making it not worth messing with. Unlocked QR wheels will be stolen or vandalized in most major US cities in an instant.

In particular, you could teach it to Physics PhDs, which might be useful as today they are mostly taught Python and so they end up leaning on libraries to go faster because the Python isn't fast enough.

Once upon a time a specialist in Computational Chemistry or Physics or whatever would be expected to learn Fortran, and it makes lots of sense to use Rust for the same purpose in the interim (eventually a WUFFS-like special purpose language seems like a better fit to be able to deliver absolute safety and better performance by not needing to care about generality)
Its funny you mention the aesthetics, because that's actually what i really liked from the get-go...and then started noticing all this niceties that i listed above (and more i'm sure). Like you, i'm loving the aesthetics!
I always thought of what I learned in some philosophy class, that there are only two ways to generate a contradiction.

One way is to reason from a false premise, or as I would put it, something we think is true is not true.

The other way is to mix logical levels (“this sentence is false”).

I don’t think I ever encountered a bug from mixing logical levels, but the false premise was a common culprit.

I don't. I think they should force people to redesign if things are unnecessarily non-repairable, and in some cases subsidize that redesign. The government should also create standards (including standard component designs) that automatically pass the product if adhered to.

If we're going to be officially judging what is repairable and not repairable, we should commit to dealing with it fully rather than half-assing and leaving infinite loopholes.

The best thing about nuclear, IMHO, is that all of the highly radioactive waste ever produced by nuclear power plants in the US could fit into a single football stadium. Compare that to coal, oil, natural gas, etc.

It's not too hard of a problem to solve, it just requires political will to bury it in a dry geologically stable desert somewhere in the US, which we have plenty of.
