I think it is taboo because of rather catastrophic impact of an alcoholism on your and your close ones lives. And having to use alcohol to function is getting there.

That being said, people DO talk about therapeutic effects of alcohol. Just recently I have heard an recovering alcoholic talk about that - that it was helping her emotionally. Until it wasn't, until full on addiction kicked in, obviously.

Plus, marihuana is still illegal in many places. That is despite the addiction being less dangerous. If anything alcohol is waaay more tolerated.

Nobody will run Genera without TCP/IP and a lot of other stuff.

The error handler is not the same anymore.

I think that's pure fantasy.

> Genera was carefully designed to keep compatibility with the MIT system.

I don't think that was a goal, given that the MIT system was not relevant anymore and the vendors all had their own forks. TI converted much of the old code to Common Lisp with a translator. Symbolics wrote most new code in Common Lisp.

Without an extensive implementation of Common Lisp incl. CLOS, basically nothing runs on the old system.

The times of a few conditional reader macros was soon over.

Does Portable Common LOOPS (PCL) run on the MIT Lisp Machine?

https://github.com/binghe/PCL/tree/master/impl

It lacks a port, but there are ports to TI and Symbolics. That should be simple.

In China, there's WeChat, which is basically the everything app, from chat, to food delivery, to ecommerce, payment, and even navigation. Normally, that would violate App Store guidelines, but they are dominant enough in the Chinese market that Apple caved in and granted them special permissions.
> people today just don't care.

When did people 'care'? Complex technologies have always been pushed on people. Regulation, consumer protection etc. is supposed to be the informed, delegated 'caring' filter.

The interesting long-term dynamic is that the problem is self-correcting. If you use amazing technologies to breed masses of addicted, exploited idiots instead of informed empowered citizens, eventually your walled garden will collapse onto itself.
I'm genuinely curious what the need is. I made the parent in jest but its also based on what looks like timing to me. Ecommerce is a very developed market. It's not like when the web first launched and no one else is doing it. People can sell easily on Amazon or ebay. Or start their own product sites with many different platforms. I am curious where OP sees themselves fitting into the current space. (I'm totally clueless about business though so dont take my comments too harshly. the website does look good.)
Gosub – An open-source browser engine
Last year I wrote a post about trying to make a change in the world by writing a browser.

Today, we're excited to introduce Gosub, a new open-source browser engine that we are building from the ground up in Rust!

Gosub aims to be a modern, modular, and highly flexible browser engine. While still in the early development and experimentation phase, Gosub is shaping up nicely, and we’re looking to onboard more contributors to help us bring this project to life.

Some of the key highlights:

* Written in Rust: We're leveraging Rust's safety and performance features to create a robust and efficient engine.
* Modular Design: The project is organized around modules, allowing for clean separation of concerns and easier collaboration. It also allows us to easily swap components based on needs and allows more freedom for engine implementers in the future.
* Collaborative and open source: We’re building Gosub with the intention of making it approachable and open to contributions, aiming to create a project that's easier to understand and collaborate on compared to existing browsers.

Instead of writing another shell around Chromium or WebKit, we decided to write a browser engine from scratch. We believe that having a diverse landscape of engines is the only way to defeat a monoculture that is currently threatening current browsers and by extension the internet itself. We cannot and should not let a very small number of large companies dictate the future of the web and its usage.

With Gosub, we're aiming to build something more approachable that can evolve with the latest web technologies, all while being open to contributors from day one.

We’re looking for developers with or without experience in Rust. You just need to be interested in browser technologies. There are plenty of opportunities to work on core modules, document our progress, and help shape the project's direction.

We can already render simple pages, including the hackernews front page. However, to render most sites correctly, it is still a long journey, so come and join us!

I’m a technical writer. I use Kagi dozens of times a day for research. I particularly like custom lenses where I can limit search results to a client’s site, their existing documentation, related standards and regulations, etc. Plus, I can exclude competitor sites and other results I don’t want to see.

I do wish they’d increase the number of domains allowed in custom lenses and the number of lenses you can create.

Imo, tiktoks and facebooks work by destabilizing emotions: they take users on a wild ride thru disgusting and pleasant emotions in an unpredictable manner. This unpredictability of the ride turns off the mind: the user learns that engaging the mind makes no difference and turns it off, leaving more room for the raw emotions. It's not a stretch to say that algorithmic media feed works by muting the human in the users and engaging the animal in them.

The hardware is getting so cheap! But the software...

I bought for $20 a bed lamp that comes with led lights, bluetooth receiver, clock and alarm clock, and wireless charging for my iphone. It has a microphone to stream all my conversations god knows where, though its purported purpose is to listen me sing and pulse the lights according to the pitch.

It comes with a convenient app to set the clock and the lights. But due to a glitch in the software, the alarm goes off every night at 01:00 AM. I haven't been able to disable that via their official app; no real programmers were used making that thing. But there probably is a bug in their bluetooth stack that would allow me to become root of the lamp and fix it myself...if I had the time.

I wish hardware makers for off-brand products would include a minimal hacking kit in their boxes.

You can probably fine-tune a general purpose programming model on the code and documentation of your language project (the documentation being in large part written by an LLM too, of course).
My first thought is that it's rather obvious, but I'm probably wrong, can you help me understand?

The analogy I have in mind is: if you throw n dice, for large n, the likelihood of one specific chosen dice being high value and the rest being low value is obviously rather small.

I guess that the consequence is still interesting, that most random points in a high-dimensional n-sphere will be close to the equator. But they will be close to all arbitrary chosen equators, so it's not that meaningful.

If the equator is defined as containing n-1 dimensions, then as n goes higher you'd expect it to "take up" more of the space of the sphere, hence most random points will be close to it. It is a surprising property of high-dimensional space, but I think it's mainly because we don't usually think about the general definition of an equator and how it scales to higher dimensions, once you understand that it's not very surprising.
That's not what Kagi does. Nor does its "Small Web" search mode, as it only searches blogs that have been manually added to a specific GitHub repo (so for most part is a collection of US tech blogs - not very diverse at all)

No VC-backed or commercial search engine would do what OP is talking about. But I can see a use for a niche search engine that ranks websites inversely proportional to the number of trackers and ad networks they depend on. Heck, I would pay for that, but I'm a nerd.

Maybe marginalia.nu would like this idea.

Just try it, I guess. I was also sceptical and ran my own search engine and at one time I was even pitching people a paid indexing service that would allow people to self-host their search engine and by pooling money they gain world-class crawling.

But in the end, I noticed that for me, improving search results is mostly about suppressing garbage. Kagi lets me filter out Pinterest and some of the worst SEO spam farms. And with them gone, the results already feel much better.

I'd guess Kagi is popular here because they sell what people crave.

I don’t buy this explanation.
The FM modulation uses a much higher bandwidth than AM. The distance between channels on FM radio is 200 kHz compared to only 9 kHz on AM. That’s more than 20x more bandwidth for FM. On AM, no matter how deeply you modulate the carrier, the bandwidth will not exceed twice the bandwidth of the input signal. On FM, the deeper you modulate it, the wider the output spectrum will be, and it can easily exceed the bandwidth of the input signal.

In addition to that, the whole FM band is much higher frequency, while I guess quite a lot of noise, especially burst noise caused by eg thunderstorms is relatively low frequency. So it’s not picked up because it’s out of band.

Any noise that falls inside the channel does get picked up by the receiver regardless of modulation. However because the available bandwidth is so much higher than the real bandwidth of the useful signal, there is actually way more information redundancy in FM encoding, so this allows to remove random noise as it will likely cancel out.

If I encoded the same signal onto 20 separate AM channels and then averaged the output from all of them (or better - use median filter) that would cancel most of random noise just as well.

Also another thing with modulation might be that if there is any narrow-band non-white noise happening to fall inside the channel (eg a distant sender on colliding frequency), on AM it will be translated as-is to the audible band and you’ll hear it as a single tone. On FM demodulation it will be spread across the whole output signal spectrum, so it will be perceived quieter and nicer by human ear, even if its total energy is the same. That’s why AM does those funny sounds when tuning, but FM does not.
>When did people 'care'?

Back when using a computer required having some idea of what was going on. Even if all you really cared about was playing Doom, you still needed to make sense of all those levers with nonsensical labels on them and boy did we figure them out.

Mind you, I don't see where we are today as necessarily a bad thing. It's a very good thing that most people can just use a computer as just another tool like a screwdriver or a car.

But on the other hand, we've also lost the joys and miseries of getting our hands dirty.

It doesn't matter if it's complex. I believe this tool can be applied if it consists of a single HTML file and the resources linked to it. If you're using Web Components, there may be some issues. JavaScript is currently disabled because it's difficult to determine its impact, but enabling it is technically very simple. If there is enough demand in the future, I will add an option to control the functionality of JavaScript.
Those codecs got better with time. Also notebook and little portable speakers, while they are unable to physically reproduce low frequencies are getting better at emulating those. Somebody cares.

Don't forget that between certification and catch attempt that catching infrastructure is subject to the launch of the most powerful rocket man has ever created. It seems that the consideration about another part to fail is not valid here as the parts to fail have not disappeared but rather moved to the tower. They could still fail - in fact it seems that there are now many more recovery-critical parts.

That is, unless the falling rocket could abort a tower catch and move to a secondary nearby tower if a failure is detected in time.

Hey tdeck, thank you so much for taking the time to think about my app! I'm glad you got the concept.

I agree with what you write about folks' motivation, let me add that the users of the app are required, if they want to see the details of an endorsement, to enter an endorsement of their own (until they do that, they will just see "Alice endorses a plumber"). In fact I want to leverage a little also the curiosity of people to see the names that their friends are endorsing.

Perhaps the biggest push to use and spread the app, could be the need for providers to spread their offerings. Say I seek customers as a babysitter, I will download the app, enter my profile, and then ask to all my contacts to endorse me on the app (and preferably then spread the app to their contacts as well, with the message "Anyone seeks a babysitter?"). I'm trying to follow this path, currently without success, but I know that some people have been able to spread similar apps, so I need to understand how they did it.

As for the revenue model, it is the usual one for yellow pages: providers pay if they want to enter info on their listing. I agree that it's good to state it clearly in the FAQs.

Would you wish to take part in this project? Have you done something similar?

Cheers, Francesco.

> How'd this story wind up?

A team vote on which solution to use, an issue created in the change management system to re-implement the approach that gets rid of index.js files.

Definitely a case of conflicting ideas about software development and everyone thinking that they know better. It would have been better to have the discussion early on, as opposed to people just changing things how they want, e.g. if I just changed them back it would be as unhelpful.

Of course, I have ideas that are also sub-optimal or plain wrong sometimes, but getting those shot down in a group setting ahead of time would actually be better than implementing something bad and causing headaches for people down the road.
Verizon suggests I should use an unpatched operating system or trash my device
There are lots and lots of old Pixel 2 phones out there, some of them in mint condition and still boxed.

Seems like a nice idea to put these devices to good use by unlocking their bootloader and installing a custom ROM image such as Lineage OS.

Except... when you are dealing with Verizon devices which -- for reasons unknown -- sinply cannot be unlocked.
It's not that simple, though. The only way you can detect frequency is by measuring the amplitude (and then differentiate; except of course in an analog circuit, you don't do that exactly, you have some mechanism that tries to track the carrier wave smoothly instead), so amplitude noise will necessarily also become frequency noise. But generally white AM noise will be pushed upwards in the spectrum after FM demodulation, away from the area where you care. (You can also add a hard limiter, which amplifies this effect; even more noise high up, even less noise further down.)
The argument is one of agency. A teenager can't be trusted with the agency to consent to that kind of content production regardless of any physical attribute in the same way we don't give drivers licenses to 13 year olds if they happen to be of adult height.

The real problem we have to deal with is every smartphone, tablet and laptop is potentially a porn production device and we're not going to restrict their use to 18+ because they're so generally useful. I think the real solution is some kind of AI to block the content from being recorded unless the bill payer unlocks it on the idea that 15 year olds usually aren't paying their own cell phone bill.
Depends on the frequency of EM. Fiber optic communications use specific frequencies to minimize attenuation in cables.

Same with communications over coax. Obviously visible light doesn't transmit well over copper, but a spectrum of radio waves do, some better than others.
It looks promising! One thing to consider adding is integration with Meta Pixel and Google Ads, as these are crucial for any e-commerce platform.
If you wish to maximize A, you will need to lower your standards for B, C, and D. This is the nature of any selection process: choosing a home to buy, breeding crops, writing legislation, etc. It us no less true for hiring employees.

There are a very limited quantity of perfect employees, and you are unlikely to ever have the opportunity to hire one. The vast majority of employees have a mixture of good qualities (e.g., being hardworking) and bad qualities (e.g., expecting a higher salary). Your best strategy is to prioritize those characteristics that are most important to the role you are hiring for and be flexible on characteristics that are less important.

If you get your priorities out of order, even if inadvertently (e.g., by asking unverifiable interview questions that select for better liars), you will make suboptimal decisions.
After watching this the project of changing brakes on my old car doesn't feel like that big of a project anymore.

The title is not wrong, but it also doesn't feel correct either. What they do here is they use a pre-trained model to guide the training of a 2nd model. Of course, that massively speeds up training of the 2nd model. But it's not like you can now train a diffusion model from scratch 20x faster. Instead, this is a technique for transplanting an existing model onto a different architecture so that you don't have to start training from 0.
