> You've never met a farmer.

What a stupid thing to say. Not only do you not know anything about me (I am myself a small-time/part-time farmer, and my neighbors are all farmers. My 14 acres is the smallest lot in my area. My neighbor/friend across the street farms 80 acres and sells his crops as some of the highest quality produce to top buyers. I also grew up with farmers as family members and friends. I think I've probably met a farmer before), but you clearly didn't even read my comment before replying to it or you would know that you're opening salvo is quite wrong. A quote from my comment that you replied to:

> Some of the farmers I've talked to understand the importance (sic) ownership and right to repair better than even many engineers.

It seems to me that logically, it's hard to have talked to people, while simultaneously having never met them.

After such a sloppy and unnecessarily assumptive (and incorrectly assumptive) response, it's hard to give any credibility whatsoever to anything else you say. I agree with it, but (as many of us rural livers/farmers) like to say, "even a stopped clock is right twice a day".

Also, I never said they aren't intelligent or able to fix anything that moves. If something I said suggested they weren't intelligent or capable, please point it out to me. Such a thing would be absurd - all the farmers I know are quite handy and can fix just about anything (that big corporations don't actively engineer to prevent, hence the hullaballoo over right-to-repair).

What I said was that they don't usually care about political fights like right-to-repair. And I stand by that, many of them don't. It's not a direct relation with intelligence level or handiness, it's more about personality and individual interests. Most of them just think John Deere are assholes but have no idea about the right-to-repair movement. They don't realize how deep the poison goes. More and more are getting into it, but it's still pretty unusual.

It's a free-ish country so you can do as you please, but I would recommend that you read and think a little more carefully before replying to people, especially when you're going to insult them by loudly proclaiming that they are an ignorant liar like you did to me.
You raise a good point, but REST isn't quite declarative, and RPCs isn't quite what I'm proposing.

REST is great but I wouldn't exactly call it declarative, it relies on HTTP verbs, plus there are times when you simply can't express things with pure REST so usually you break the textbook pattern with something like POST /resource/doSomething.

As for RPCs, you have to predefine the operations you want to expose as part of your schema, which is even less flexible than what I'm proposing. Imagine for example that instead of passing a JSON Patch string you'll pass a real JS arrow function (with some limitations, e.g. no closure state). It allows for max flexibility, the user doesn't have to learn any APIs, plus the implementation becomes trivial. It's kind of like SQL without inventing a new language.

I bought a second-hand Gazelle in 2003 (for €125 lol), it was briefly stolen in 2010, it moved with me to three different countries, and I'm still using it to this day.

How I Patched Python to Include This Ruby Feature
hell even in the US, every single white collar job i've had required references, which is basically sort of a "quit your job on good terms or else you're gonna struggle more for the next one". the unfortunate reality is that i've worked for several bosses that turned out to not be very nice people and had a relationship with me where they acted like they hated me and was worthless but also upset when i tried to leave, which is at odds of their opinion of me not being that valuable? capitalism is tiresome
NVMe-Powered Database Optimization: Lessons from Tech Giants
It has exactly as many practical uses now as it did then (not that many). However, it's full of a ton of bullshit, and some of it is dangerous bullshit.

Another thing that's as true now as it has ever been: you can easily learn the same stuff (and more) with a much lower amount of bullshit by going to the library and reading the more mainstream sources. They won't be written in as breezy or entertaining of a style, but they'll be much more dependable and comprehensive.

A chemist friend of mine once commented about the chemistry-related (particularly incendiary and explosive) things: if you really want to learn how to be dangerous, a wizard, or do really cool party tricks, your best bet is to actually learn chemistry more holistically. I bet the same is true for the other things in it as well.

> iPhone alarm will sometimes just go off silently

Oh man, as a recent android to iOS convert I thought I was just doing it wrong. The alarm feature of this phone is utterly useless it’s so unreliable. It just decides randomly (from what I can tell) to silence itself with no user interaction. Luckily it hasn’t resulted in major life consequences yet, but I’ve learned to not even bother with it.

Thanks for returning a tiny bit of my sanity!

Whichever programmer or team was responsible for this “feature” that decides you know better than me, why?!?

My current conspiracy theory is it’s the wearables team since then only way to be certain you will at least get some physical/audible feedback it’s time to wake up is by wearing your Apple Watch to bed. Then you get to deal with frantic charging it before your flight or whatnot, fun times!
The second statement does not follow from the first statement. You're suggesting that Trump will surround himself with sycophants based on him choosing as his running mate somebody who has publicly criticized him in the past.
I think in general “padding” doesn’t work as well for human bodies as its popularity implies. It feels more comfortable for the first few seconds but less so afterwards. Usually it puts pressure on soft tissues in a way that cuts off blood flow and nerve function, whereas our body is already shaped and evolved to interact properly with firm surfaces with our own padding and bones in just the right places.

For example, serious long distance cyclists mostly still use old fashioned hard leather saddles, which case a lot less pain and numbness on a long ride than the modern padded ones.

You are responding in a thread about a person saying they were driving at 60 when the deer only became visible "due to terrain" at 100 feet away, and therefore hitting it is no reflection on their skill or choices as a driver.

I suppose we're meant to interpret charitably here, but it really seems to me like there is a big difference between the scenario described and the one you're talking about, where the deer really does fling itself out in front of you.

World(coin) was always private with monetization plans. They are VC funded by a16z and the like. Though how exactly they'll monetize or not remains to be seen. You can already make payments through the app.
I fully agree in many situations that is the case. Oddly enough, there is a curve where when ranges get far enough, pedal bike is what you want again. Eg: 35+ miles one way (ie: past the 90% range of an e-bike). That number will keep going up though as batteries get better and lighter. For most people, that tidbit is irrelevant, but IMO an interesting niche datum from bike culture.

For every quality, well-made object there is a point in its existence where it should be evaluated for a transition from usable item to heirloom --- if one chooses to structure their life to include the responsibility and obligation of caring for heirlooms.

I have a ceramic milk jug of my great-great-grandfather who was a Civil war veteran (alongside his son) which my daughter will take responsibility for when she gets her first home --- it may be that she will donate it to a library or museum --- her choice.

Similarly, I have thousands of books --- my will directs that any which my children do not wish to keep are to be taken to my memorial/funeral service and each person attending will be asked to take at least one, and to relate how they knew me and why they picked the book which they did. (A project for future me is to get acid-free bookplates w/ archival adhesive and apply them to all my books, or maybe I'll just print bookmarks on acid-free paper and put one in each book)

Unfortunately, none of the bikes which I had when I was younger survived/were kept (in particular, the Huffy Wind 15-speed had its frame bent on a rainy day because I was never taught to put your foot on the front wheel to slow down) --- currently have two, a folding Montague Swissbike and a Twicycle --- we'll see how they hold up and if I get a third (lusting for a Helix folding bike).

Lastly, while I don't have the exact bow (Bear Archery Little Bear) which I got for Christmas when I was 10, I bought one like to it for my son when he expressed an interest in archery, so at least he has that.
> generate collisions

and as a minor point of clarification: The structure of the publish perceptual hash (and presumably the non-public one as well) were vulnerable to essentially arbitrary second preimage attacks, not just collisions.

This means that I can take an image and can usually adjust it to have an arbitrary hash, even a hash of an image I've never seen.

It's much more powerful than a collision attack (where the attacker must modify both images).

I doubt have any serious doubt that I would be unable to generate second preimages for two such hashes, but given the second hash was never published that just remains speculation. As AFAIK the first person to develop and demonstrate the second preimage attack against it, I'd like to think that my speculation on this is at least somewhat better than chance. :)
My ag coop magazine had a recent article on how pre-mechanisation (some places here, into the 1950s) agriculture worked: the tl;dr is no private life under strict hierarchy for 12+ hour days, so it's no wonder they'd run off to the city to get factory jobs instead.

One pull quote was a 1920s era law: "Servants and agricultural workers must be given, every other Sunday, at least 4 hours off"
You're ignoring the information about the source.

It's not about a heuristic on text of unknown provenance -- it's about publishers that exert a certain level of editorial control and quality verification. Or social reputation mechanisms that achieve the same.

That's what is preventing your "model collapse". Reputations of provenance. Not pure-text heuristics.

Codecs (https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html) can change the content of the file on the fly. You can abuse that to create new syntax, although it is evidently not the original intent.

Let's say you hate significative spaces, here is a (very fragile) PoC for your pain:

https://0bin.net/paste/42AQCTIC#dLEscW0rWQbE70cdnVCCiY72VuJw...

Import that into a *.pth file in your venv, and you can then do:

# coding: braces_indent

def main() {
print("Hello, World!")
if True {
print("This is indented using braces.")
}
}

You also can use import hooks (python ideas does that), bytecode manipulations (pytest does that) or use the ctypes module (forbiddenfruit does that).

Still, I'm very happy it stays limited to super specific niches. Big power, big responsibilities, and all that.

I live in San Jose, and bike a lot, and all three of my kids bike to school, too (I accompany the 2nd grader). Everything you say is true and correct. But, San Jose is still far more bike friendly than the vast majority of American cities, both in terms of driver awareness and infrastructure. An increasing number of marked bike lanes on secondary streets every year, a formal program for road diets on dangerous (for everyone) primary surface streets, sharrows on lots of residential streets, and enough North-South MUTs to facilitate many commuters.

I live in Willow Glen and used to commute to Google in Sunnyvale. About 2mi to get to the GRT, then connect to the Bay Trail in Alviso, and about a half mile of streets to get to the campus. It's not just SJ, but the existence of the Bay Trail, the GRT, the San Tomas Aquino Trail, the Stevens Creek Trail, and even the Los Gatos Creek Trail all make a big difference for cyclists around here.
The lack of dedicated tracks for high-speed passenger service matters a lot though. It’s part of the reason why those (very impressive) scheduled Munich-Berlin times are so often not achieved. The “slot” for the service is relatively small because slower trains (in particular freight) must be scheduled as well, so if the slot is missed for any reason, delays can compound very badly. I take the train between Munich and Berlin reasonably often and it’s usually running late, and sometimes by an hour or more.

No, "Teachers use chalk daily" is nowhere near true. It would've been mostly true 30 years ago, before whiteboards, and now it's definitely not the case. The hair you're splitting only works when the approximation that omits the "all" is close to 100%.
I'm not from a city, and I would argue that you lose the sense of community and humanity even in small village if you don't get out of your own way.

I'm not as critical. It seems like a 'scam' at worse ('reality embellishments' rather than a true scam), a nice place at best, and a fun experience in most cases. I do not think those challenges are particularly hard (especially because California weather is very soft, and winter is always the harsher time in communes in my experience). I'd say 'let them try'.

But I get your point, nowadays peddling this kind of imagery feels scammy.

For the last 10 years the default definition of "phone" (unmodified) has been "cell phone". These days if you want to refer to a landline you call it that. If you want to refer to a WiFi phone you call it that.

The primary function of a "phone" in the modern sense is to allow people to reach you (by means of SMS or voice) wherever you happen to be at the time. Something that doesn't meet that need isn't an unqualified "phone".
I don't think it's going to happen. Too many shares of automotive companies locked up in influential institutions. The same reason Microsoft is untouchable.
In languages I'm most familiar with, you can't access variables defined outside of the function within the function unless the variable is a class or global variable. So for example in Python you can do:

>>> x = "hello"
>>> def test():
... print(x)
...
>>> test()
hello

which seems very odd to me. In Ruby you get:

irb(main):001> x = "hello"
=> "hello"
irb(main):002\* def test
irb(main):003\* puts x
irb(main):004> end
=> :test
irb(main):005> test
(irb):3:in `test': undefined local variable or method `x' for main:Object (NameError)

This makes much more sense to me, since x is defined outside of the scope of test, so why should test have access to it?
> Currently Wikipedia mods/admins are dealing with AI generated articles being uploaded.

I don't know what relevance that has to what we're talking about. The point is, train on the NYT. Blogs don't change what's on the NYT.

They've always been polluted with low-quality content. So yes, either don't train on them, or only train on highly upvoted solutions, etc.

AI pollution isn't fundamentally any different from previous low-quality content and spam. It's not terribly difficult to determine which parts of the internet are known to be high-quality and train only on those. LLM's can't spam the NY Times.

> studies have shown that people who use e-bikes (pedal assist not throttle) tend to be more physically fit and active than ones who just use regular bikes.

I read the abstract of the study you linked, and it does not say that people who use e-bikes are more fit than people who use regular bikes.

It says that e-biker have slightly less "metabolic equivalent task" minutes per week compared to cyclists.
> Most fit people can cycle distances that ebike readers wouldn't do even if the bike can do it. How many people travel across cities with an ebike?

What types of distances are you thinking of? 'Most fit people's feel is a bit ambiguous since we are likely speaking about less than one third of the population (at least in the US).

Cross town trips seem to be a place where e-bikes shine IMO. At least gauging by the anecdata that e-bike commuters in the last 15 years have gone from rare to occasionally to the majority of bicycle commuters (at least on many days, and along my commute route, that is not the best connected and is at least 6 miles one way)
I've worked on old and newer bikes. I ride a steel frame bike, that I built up from old parts.

It's hard to define the quality of a bike. Bikes are like an "ecosystem" that depends on dealers and at least modestly knowledgeable users, and a continuing supply of spare parts. It's not surprising that the longest-serving bikes are in countries with a strong cycling ecosystem.

A new bike made by a reputable brand like Trek is likely to be of very good quality, and benefits from some improvements in materials that have occurred since 1949, such as aluminum wheels and puncture resistant tires. If it receives light-duty service, such as commuting and shopping, and is proactively maintained, it can last forever.

The main threat to a decent bike is neglect. Also, "sportive" use of a bike, such as racing or off-road, brings its own list of issues, including obsolescence. The Dutch are deservedly famous for their bike culture, but their typical use is a few miles per day on well maintained roads and paths.
I'd just use RT Linux. That has its own basic scheduler with the kernel scheduler running as the idle task. Real time tasks get priority over everything else.
You can almost do it with `condition and value`, but you get `False` instead of `None` (and adding any more code makes this worse than `value if condition else None`. Interestingly lua like `<condition> and <true-expression> or <false-expression>` ternaries actually work in python, with the added footgun that <true-expression> must be truthy and people will despise you).

Rust for example has a solution for this in std, there's a `bool::and_some` method (and `bool::then` that takes a closure to avoid eagerly evaluating the value), but `if { ... }` isn't an expression like `if { ... } else { ... }` is, probably to avoid coupling the language to `Option`.
This kind of thing should have never been implemented. Stuff like this does not belong and what is supposed to be a free society. Here's one of the fundamental problems with it, you have no recourse with the airlines when they are doing this improperly. Your choice is to surrender yourself to an illegal search or not go on the flight.

And for people who don't understand what that means. Go and read the CDC rules because a lot of airlines have not. The only people who have to provide contact tracing are those who are not United States citizens or lawful permanent residents. Airlines instead implement this as a blanket policy. Now not all airlines and they didn't always used to do it as a blanket policy but more and more have started to implement this in a way that they don't understand if you are a United States citizen you do not have to provide this and you cannot be denied entry into your country because you failed to provide this.

The reason the CDC cannot require this of United States citizens or lawful permanent residents is simply because it's an illegal search and seizure. they know it that's why it's specifically exempted. But when they've empowered a third party private agency to collect the information and you have no recourse to dispute those policies your only choices to fly or not to fly we are living in a police state at that point.
