> I bought the machine and OS. If I remove something, it should be gone.

I worked support during the Windows 95-98 days, we had multiple cases of people "just cleaning up" and had managed to delete a significant amount of their Windows folder, to the point Windows no longer booted.

Internet Explorer was considered an OS component, hence why it really shouldn't be removed. I'll grant you Edge though.

> Windows seems so anti-user

Windows is a product with a long history. I will agree that in recent times it has changed to the worse, and with a less clear idea of who or what it's for.

With Windows Home making you jump through hoops to install non-Windows Store applications, it seems home computers will turn into fully walled gardens like Xbox for gaming and tablets for consumption and light creation.

That future is certainly anti-power user, though most users just want stuff to work, they don't care about removing IE or modifying background images etc.

Windows as it used to be might survive in the corporate environment, where people still need to run 30+ year old software.
WebGL 2 took almost 5 years to come to Safari after Chrome. It will not take as long for WebGPU; development is active now.

It is also a bit frustrating that Chrome has not enabled WebGPU on all platforms by default yet.
Give it a good reputation then.

What are some legal torrent trackers?
That was my first thought on reading the title.

Before we consider this a problem we should be looking at the survival rate in contaminated vs uncontaminated soil. I wouldn't be at all surprised of the queens are making the right choice.

They aren’t compatible. There is a device in the middle doing a translation for you.

That’s like saying HTTP can talk to FTP servers as long as there is an HTTP to FTP proxy.

The only thing that makes them seem compatible is there is a well formed address space in v6 that clients send v4 requests to. But it’s still v6 and a 64 proxy needs to have an actual IPv4 address to translate the source to before sending it via v4 to the actual destination.
It appears that I might be the only person who thinks this is nuts, but it truly drives me insane, and I believe it started around the iPhone 7:

The power button on the direct opposite side of the volume up button!!??

This looks nice in photos and schematics, but makes it annoyingly difficult to press one button without pressing the other. It makes it a two hand operation.

That was when I realized that Apple might be focusing on the wrong things.

It drives me batty to a weird level. I feel like the protagonist in the Papyrus SNL skit.
You’re still suffering from the biases of the parent poster. You are picking and choosing papers that illustrate failure instances when there are also an equal amount of papers that verify successful instances.

It’s bloody obvious that when I classify success I mean that the llm is delivering a correct and unique answer for a novel prompt that doesn’t exist in the original training set. No need to go over the same tired analogies that have been regurgitated over and over again that you believe LLMs are reusing memorized answers. It’s a stale point of view. The overall argument has progressed further then that and we now need more complicated analysis of what’s going on with LLMs

Sources:
https://typeset.io/papers/llmsense-harnessing-llms-for-high-...

https://typeset.io/papers/call-me-when-necessary-llms-can-ef...

And these two are just from a random google search.

I can find dozens and dozens of papers illustrating failures and successes of LLMs which further nails my original point. LLMs both succeed and fail at reasoning.

The main problem right now is that we don’t really understand how LLMs work internally. Everyone who claims they know LLMs can’t reason are just making huge leaps of irrational conclusions because not only does their conclusion contradict actual evidence but they don’t even know how LLMs work because nobody knows.

We only know how LLMs work at a high level and we only understand these things via the analogy of a best fit curve in a series of data points. Below this abstraction we don’t understand what’s going on.
Wow, driving in the pedestrian zone around Staromák is bad enough already, but they also happily post pictures. Not okay.

Archives generally purposefully don’t have a strong editorial streak. My trash is your treasure.
I think that’s GP’s point. If you take at face value that your speed through spacetime is constant and that the only thing that can vary is the magnitude distributed through (x, y, z, t), then the only important component of your spacetime velocity is its angle in 4D space (e.g., your “direction”).

But also our own personal velocity is stationary. We (AIAU, IANAP) always perceive our own velocity vector as (0, 0, 0, 1). When we undergo acceleration it only ever affects the directional components of every other part of the universe, not our own experiential frame.
The law is unevenly enforced. My wife is currently dealing with a disruptive student from a wealthy family background. It's a chemistry class, you can't endanger your fellow students.

I'm curious how this will affect cloud costs for the rest of us. On the one hand, we may get some economies of scale, but on the other hand, cloud resources being used up by others may drive prices up. Does anyone have any guesses as to what will happen?
By what metric? It's a gentoo deriviative with glibc, coreutils, etc.
There are many different "lines of reasoning" that lead to this conclusion as well. For example as an object approaches the speed of light, an observer will see it become smashed perfectly flat (length contraction) in the direction of it's travel, which is the logical equivalent of a "loss of one dimension".

In other words as something tries to "escape" our 3D manifold the effect that has is to remove one a spatial dimension. Also as something goes to nearer to speed of light, we know it also loses "time" dimension. No flow of time (from perspective of observer).

And all of these same "divide by zero" kind of impossibilities are precisely what's also happening on event horizons. In other words Special Relativity reinforces this theory. My claim is that even the Lorentz equations are showing us the way in which a dimension is lost. Lorentz is a "smooth" way of going from N dimensions to N minus 1 dimensions.

EDIT: So there must be a stronger relationship between Spinors and Lorentz than what's currently known! By having complex components, Spinors is the way to have "partial moves" in a direction, while still technically maintaining orthogonality to all other directions.
I kind of did. I used to be fairly active on the Fediverse, until I got to join a small community on Discord. Now it feels like a Stammtisch, so a place I can just hop in and hang out with folks I know and I like. Sometimes we even get to actually meet irl, so it's real nice. I still have some "read-only" feeds like twitter, but that's about it.
There is a market for AI. And it is exactly these articles and maybe pictures attached to them. Soon could be some videos as well. But how far beyond that. Is very good question.

I don't think consciousness is an illusion, but our way of experiencing it is. It appears unified because of consistent semantic space across experiences, and serial action bottleneck. But the brain is massively parallel.

I think this illusion of unity in consciousness led to so many people postulating some kind of essence. The way we apprehend ourselves is seriously biased, we have a blind spot.

Does anyone take the "don't use cat" stuff seriously?
Yeah, there are still some edge cases where cat is useful, but more often than not I just begin the redirection. I reckon some don't realize you can put it at the beginning, which does sometimes feel more ergonomic in a pipeline.

Most of the ChatGPT type systems have a rather blah default style. That's what you learn as a non-native speaker of the language. Thus the problem for people who learned English from textbooks.

Amusingly, you can push ChatGPT type systems into other styles of writing.

I put in the preamble to the US constitution and asked for different styles:

Modern:

We, the people of the United States, come together to build a stronger, more united country. We want to create fairness for everyone, keep peace at home, ensure our safety, support each other’s well-being, and protect our freedoms for ourselves and future generations. This is why we are establishing this Constitution for the United States.

Gun nut:

We the People of the United States, rallying together to create a stronger, more unified nation, are all about upholding justice, keeping the peace at home, and defending our rights. We’re here to support one another, ensure our freedoms, and safeguard the blessings of liberty for ourselves and future generations. That’s why we’re putting this Constitution in place for the United States of America—because we believe in freedom, security, and our right to bear arms!

Woke:

We, the people of the United States, are coming together to create a more inclusive and equitable society. Our goal is to establish justice for all, promote peace within our communities, ensure safety for everyone, and uplift the well-being of every individual. We are committed to protecting our freedoms and rights, not just for ourselves, but for future generations. This is why we are enacting this Constitution for the United States of America, to foster a nation that values diversity, equality, and the dignity of all.

Christian:

We, the people of the United States, gather together in faith and unity to build a more perfect nation under God. Our purpose is to establish justice and promote peace in our homes and communities. We strive to protect our common security and care for one another’s well-being, guided by the principles of love and compassion. In doing so, we seek to uphold the blessings of liberty that God has granted us, not just for ourselves, but for future generations. This is why we commit to this Constitution for the United States of America, as we seek to honor His will in all that we do.

> Apple believes that words are ugly, they try not to use them

They are a global company.

Trying to build a UI that is coherent across diverse languages like English, Japanese, Cyrillic is incredibly complex.

And then you still need to factor in the 14% of the world who can't read.

Given the success of smartphones it does seem like these concerns aren't concerning the market.
Bugs:

#1 if you spam the "add a new source" button you eventually get a JavaScript exception logged to the screen due to an array with a fixed max size of 128 elements overflowing.

#2 this could be graphics card or driver specific (I have an AMD card), but scrolling just right can can break the simulation due the the text boxes; for example by quickly paging up and down, or scrolling all the way to the bottom and then wiggling the scroll position up and down. Once this happens the bad data propagates until the entire thing is filled with noise, solid black, or solid white. If you then scroll up to 3D mode the screen will be filled with a mess of polygons.
You already can, they have torrents for everything.
At the risk of sounding like an inflated ego: I'm very good at what I do, the rest of my team frequently looks to me for guidance, my boss and boss's boss etc. have repeatedly said I'm among the most valuable people around, and I'm the one turned to in emergencies, for difficult architectural decisions, and to lead projects. I conceptually understand the ecosystem I work in very well at every layer.

What I'm not good at is memorizing API's and libraries that all use different verbs and nouns for the same thing, and other such things that are immaterial to the actual work. How do you use a mutation observer again? Hell if I remember the syntax but I know the concept, and copilot will probably spit out what I want, and I'll easily verify the output. Or how do you copy an array in JS? Or print a stack trace? Or do a node walk? You can either wade through google and stackoverflow, or copilot can tell you instantly. And I can very quickly tell if the code copilot gave me is sensible or not.

This is one of the few reasons I was still on Android over iOS. If Android becomes just as bad as iOS why would I keep putting up with Android?

It's exhausting dealing with operating systems that treat you like a child. If that's the choice I may as well not even have a "smart" phone. There's nothing smart about it anymore. It's become a toy with a camera.
Just a small clarification: mbtiles is built on a RDBMS (sqlite).
A different framing is: be grateful that it's these types of people breaching IA and being vocal about it & asking IA to fix their systems. Others might just nuke them, or subtly alter content, or do whatever else bad thing you can think of.

They're providing a public service by pointing out that a massive organization controlling a lot of PII doesn't care about security at all.
I understand that's why cats like catnip.

I was in awe, enjoying it, actually.

But if you take the sour interpretation, sure, I can see how you'd construe my remark as such. No sourness intended though.
> For example, as you scroll you'll notice that the waves are refracting around these text boxes.

Now, that's useless AND badass.
My understanding of a leaky abstraction is that the abstraction itself leaks out details of its design or underlying implementation and requires you to understand them. What you seem to describe is a bug, edge case, or maybe undefined behaviour?

For example, an ORM is a leaky abstraction over an RDBMS and SQL because you inevitably have to know details about your RDBMS and specific SQL dialect to work around shortcomings in the ORM, and also to understand how a query might perform (e.g will it be a join or an N+1?).
Is it? I see

Sure. But now try sustaining that impact multiplier every minute, 8 hours a day for a year.
I think it's important to draw a distinction between OS providers and app store providers here. The fact that they're the same entity in most cases is or should be largely irrelevant.

OS vendors shouldn't make it impossible to create apps that have unlimited access to the filesystem or that suck battery in the background. There are reasons users might want to run apps that do either or both - a file indexer, for example. All the OS should do is ask the user if the app has permission to do those things.

An app store provider on the other hand might reasonably have many criteria for inclusion, such as F-Droid only allowing FOSS. This only becomes problematic when the app store in question is effectively a monopoly.

Architects should definitely be visiting the codebase. Why would project managers be updating docs? I'd have thought stuff like docs translations done by translators would be a better candidate for non-code editing.
I'm aware there's a middle box. My point is that the middle box is a compatibility layer which, by definition, has the effect of enabling compatibility (at least in one direction).

The usual "they should have designed it to be compatible" nonsense usually comes from the crowd with zero suggestions of how to have a 32-bit addressed device send to packets to something with an address outside its universe.

Point is that djb was as wrong then as they are now.
Exactly.

Being a bus driver used to be a decent job for semi-retired construction workers, and such.

But then privatization hit, and over the last 20 years, there is no niceness left. They're even trained to disregard customers, and penalized otherwise.
It's insanely inhumane.

And the causal effect is very clear, there can be no doubt about it.
It's not the bus driver's fault.
It's one thing to have read the guidelines; quite another to appreciate them through experience. Thanks for the pointers.
I don't understand what other type of solution is there to render on a gpu other than a numeric one?

Here is a very basic shader for what you want:

float freq1 = 2.0;
float freq2 = 3.0;
float amp = 0.5;

pos.z += sin(pos.x * freq1 + uTime) * amp;
pos.z += cos(pos.y * freq2 + uTime) * amp;

gl_Position = projectionMatrix * modelViewMatrix * vec4(pos, 1.0);
Or "kill orphaned children" and be put a list somewhere

> but now that renewables are the cheapest form of energy, I believe this huge, well-funded demand will accelerate the growth of non-carbon energy sources

I think the renewables would have been built at the same rate anyway precisely because they're so cheap; but nuclear power, being expensive, would not be built if this bubble had not happened, and somehow nuclear does seem to be getting some of this money.
My basic thesis is two fold:

1. "AI" is oversold and over-hyped.

2. NVDA is oversold and over-hyped.
I'm not sure I have ever used tac for real. Could you give an example?
I find the most benefit from `jj` when I'm preparing some commits for review and I want to make them tell a coherent story. I often want to then rearrange commits, split or merge them, move things from one to another.

For people who work on repos by themselves or with a small number of others, the advantages of `jj` would be smaller in most cases, I would think.
Why would they publicly call them out and lay open the way they breached them if they were "attempting to bring down the free transmittal of information between regular folks"?

They could have done much worse but they chose not to and instead made it public. Which state actor does that?
The companies selling these aren’t “spending so much developing the technology”. They’re following the same playbook as snake oil salesmen and people huckstering supplements online do: minimum effort into the product, maximum effort into marketing it.

> in fact, having a public address is actually a security and privacy risk.

I strongly disagree with this. Privacy (not that it's a big deal imo) is well handled by the temporary address extension, and security is not an issue if you run a firewall. And you should be running a firewall even if you use v4, because NAT is not an acceptable security measure.
Is there a reason to blame the victim, rather than the attackers?

I’m asking seriously - did IA do shitty things that make them a worthy cause for politically/ideologically motivated hacking?
Whether there are formal examples or not, the thing you're doing during REPL driven programming is testing. It's just rapid, iterative and informal.
We constantly move at the speed of light through space-time.

If we start to move through space, we slow down through time.

If we go full speed through space, like a photon, we will not experience time at all. So from the perspective of a photon, everything happens at the same time, from the big bang to the heat death.

The calendar is still in the system tray somewhere, it's just pointlessly buried behind layers of interface that tell you unrelated things like bluetooth status, and not at all immediate. I've usually already consulted a paper one by the time it appears.
When you select download and transfer via USB, it asks you which kindle to prepare the file for. I would presume that the new kindles aren't allowed to do this and so they're just not in the list of available targets for the action.

It was only a matter of time as caliber has made this a very popular way of stripping the DRM.
Is the game fun?
I also find it really weird as the killer (only?) app for IPv6 is that home hobbyists can run servers with low overhead!

Additionally, like a sibling comment notes, a home hobbyist has full control over at least half, often more, of their addresses and can easily choose addresses for their network that are as short or shorter and easier to remember and organize vs a v4 network where you have no letters to work with much more strict subnet size rules, etc.

IPv6 is a dream for home hobbyists! The complaining from them about “unmemorable” addresses just makes no sense.
Well, this is the internet!
