Sure, but the argument was that widespread, legalized use of $X caused more harm than the bad effects of using law enforcement to suppress and punish use of $X.

Maybe illegal alcohol consumption in some countries causes less harm overall, including whatever legal system punishments on the few consumers who get caught, than legal alcohol consumption would. I'd believe there's less drunk driving, fewer bar fights, fewer piles of puke in alleys in those countries.
Aargghh, a prompt similar to this is going to make me an extremist that'll wage j**d on IT companies!

Google Photos wants you to turn on backups so you blow through your 15GB quota and buy storage from them, so once in a while when I open the app it screams "Back up is not turned on! You risk losing your photos!" (ok maybe not that hysterically).

Then the "Back up photos" slider is active, and I just have to hit "Continue". I'd have to slide it to off, and the button changes to "Continue without backup" and I have to hit it.

It's freaking disgusting that software companies now change your settings (ok, thankfully it still asks for your confirmation) and nag you about it every few weeks.

BTW Google, I have a Google Pixel 1 phone that has lifetime unlimited photos backup, and I intend on abusing that functionality by using automated transfers between my daily phone -> my NAS -> Pixel 1 -> your servers until you fuck me over and delete my account.
Maybe not the absolute smallest but Unifi cloud gateways are very small.

This has always been possible, for example using the BINARY(16) column type if you want to be efficient. Or in MariaDB 10.7+ you can now use the dedicated UUID column type, which is equivalent to BINARY(16) under the hood, but provides a human-readable hex value when queried.

UUIDs are fixed-length. Blobs are not the appropriate type for that.

No. But it does potentially mean that either current or future-tweaked GPUs could run a lot more efficiently -- meaning much faster or with much less energy consumption.

You still need the GPU parallelism though.
The entire reason that smart TVs are cheap with ads is because consumers "prefer" that. If (most) people bought expensive TVs with no ads, companies would, you know, sell that.
This is fascinating. Where could I learn more about these sorts of bonsai techniques? Is there a book or website that you would particularly recommend? I’ve always been intrigued by bonsai but if you do a basic web search it’s just people selling trash.
Great, make sure you max out that bandwidth with random garbage (preferably to the same endpoints that the telemetry goes to) to prevent your owned devices from exfiltrating your life.

Yes, dimension reduction.
I do have to ask - why don't you want to use SSR just because it's an internal application? For the new Svelte Society website we're SSR:ing everything (even the Admin dashboard). Being able to use form actions is a god send.

With that said, unfortunately when using Kit in "SPA mode" you're not getting the full experience, but it's still the best thing out there. You could try Routify as well.

There's a great talk from last years Svelte Summit that was about Svelte(Kit) in "SPA mode".

I’ve been doing tech consulting for about 15 years. At the senior levels, 30% of the job is like being a corporate therapist. Just listening to a client during a discovery phase go on and on and on and then saying it back to them causes all kinds of things to fall into place. It’s like helping someone do a puzzle, once you get them started and no longer overwhelmed by the scope of the problem off they go.
wouldn’t not running a server be a reason to disable SSR?
Of course, people should use alcohol tobacco and firearms, like the little baby jesus intended!

The deamonization of weed is a witch hunt, plain and simple. Paid for by the ATF industry.

Through 50 years of routine marijuana use, I've seen a number of people shrivel up and die of various tobacco use cancers, I've seen people die from liver disease and car crashes due to alcohol (not to mention the routine bar fighting and gutter puking), but I've never know anyone who died from marijuana use, ever.

As psychoactive substances go, it's about as harmless as they come. With probably only magic mushrooms being less harmful.

This article speaks much more loudly to the NYT's support of the ATF industry, than to any harms due to marijuana. People who are allergic will die from eating peanuts, I think this is on the same scale of danger that marijuana brings.

But, don't forget, that new chardaney is delightful!
Sometimes you don't want to develop a full-stack application.
It's more like "audit unsafe and make sure it's impossible for safe code elsewhere to lead to a violation of its assumptions".

If you need to look at the safe code that calls into you when making your safety proof, then your unsafe code is incorrect and should immediately fail the audit.

Treat external safe code as unknown and malicious. Prove your unsafe code is correct anyway.
The numbers collected by the NHTSA and insurance companies do show that FSD is dangerous...that's why the NHTSA started investigating and its why most insurance companies won't insure Tesla vehicles or charge significantly higher rates.

Also, Tesla is known to disable self-driving features right before collisions to give the appearance of driver fault.

And the coup de grace: if Tesla's own data showed that FSD was actually safer, they'd be shouting it from the moon, using that data to get self-driving permits in CA, and offering to assume liability if FSD actually caused an accident (like Mercedes does with its self driving system).
> whenever you actually have conflicts arising regularly.

I mean I work at Meta. We have lots of people working on stuff at the same time. :) AraxisMerge auto-merges quite nicely. Text conflicts have just never been a meaningful issue for me in my 15+ year career.

Now binary conflicts are a source of pain! Unfortunately require Perforce style file-locking once you hit a team size.

> I've never really worked in gamedev or huge monorepo orgs before, but these are all problems I've acutely felt, and Git never really solved. So, I can say that yes, we are at least thinking about these things and more.

Good to hear! Yeah the workflow for subproject syncing it's super obvious. It definitely can be done but will require a lot of thinking and a few iterations.
These things can cost like decent used cars. We're living in a crazy world.
The most obvious reason for me would be running something other than Node on the backend, i.e. only using Svelte for the frontend.
Do you also have some noise for mathematical operations, such as raising a number to a power, and for equals? So doo doo da ugh doo doo feh doo doo da doo da doo da da doo?

How am i supposed to take anything you say seriously when your only claim is a personal anecdote that doesn't even apply to your own argument. Please, think about what you're writing, and please stop repeating information you heard on youtube as if it's fact.

The is one of the reasons (among many) that I can't take Tesla booster seriously. I have absolutely zero faith in your anecdote that you didn't touch the steering wheel. I bet it's a lie.
Since time is part of your data, you can often become extremely confident in a treatment with a very quick trial.

I recently tried an allergy medication. Problem cleared up under an hour after I took a pill, re-appeared next day with no treatment, and then once again cleared up under an hour after taking pill.

It's extremely unlikely my body decided to randomly get healthier after taking medication, and unhealthy when I stopped.

A placebo effect is possible of course, but if it was actually eliminating the symptoms, that's still a good result for the individual.
For a case when file sharing is intended between individuals or small groups there's an easy solution:

Anyone who got the link should be able to delete the file.

This should deter one from using the file sharing tool as free hosting for possibly bad content. One can also build a bot that deletes every file found on public internet.
Hopefully some kind of government support should be possible?
Oh, this is wishful thinking about unions (enabling workers get fair compensation and benefits for the work that they do, etc). The reality of the unions can be quite different, and counterintuitive, especially as they evolve over time.

I have written on my experience, see for example

I think Americans read its theory on paper and fantasize it. I don’t think they appreciate how it will look like in practice, 3 decades later.
It is a click bait headline the claim itself is not extraordinary.
the preprint from arxiv was posted here some time back .

The 95% gains is specifically only for multiplication operations, inference is compute light and memory heavy in the first place so the actual gains would be far less smaller .

Tech journalism (all journalism really) can hardly be trusted to publish grounded news with the focus on clicks and revenue they need to survive.

When I feel as safe as I do sitting in the back of a Waymo.
It's worth pointing out that even Apple (whom the auther uses as an exam to illustrate the point) has engaged in similar behavior. Not quite as bad, i.e. they didn't take over an app, but they have suddenly blocked apps from updating when the app had similar functionality to one they released.
You might then as well replace the multiplication by the addition in the original network. In that case you're not even approximating anything.

Am I missing something?
Oof, this really challenges my memory because my brain mercifully deleted parts of it relating to async Rust... Thanks for indulging and forgive me if my questions are dumb, please.

1. What was the workaround for the lack of `impl Trait` in traits? Was it the dreaded pinned boxed return values?

2. How does adding that make async objectively better? I mean yes, the boxxed pinned stuff was kinda sorta ugly but also something you get used to. I don't remember that being too much trouble.

3. RE: standard set of traits, are you convinced that this is the reason we have the split async ecosystem? I honestly never delved deep enough to understand the reasoning behind why separate groups of people figured to do different async runtimes. I suppose it never occurred to me it was because of the lack of the standard set of traits.

4. RE: `Pin`, exactly, it never "killed" me indeed, though I did grumble a fair amount of times about it and I would be very happy if the dancing around Pin / Box / Pin+Box is at least reduced (and I believe the latest Rust release had something to say about it).

Finally, do you believe that the gradual improvements in Rust that pertain to the traits and GATs done in the last months are really going to unify the async ecosystem? I wish I could believe it would but it was several years and a very heavy investment from the several async library communities; if Rust core attempts to make this list of standard traits then maybe everyone would just ignore them (and I hope that does not happen).
I personally own a Banana Pi R3 as my main router and it's awesome. Unfortunately, it is pricey and pretty big for a travel router (besides the fact that it must be assembled). The MT6000 is even bigger. And you have to carry an extra power supply.

For traveling I use a Gl.inet Beryl (GL-MT1300), which is nice, but not very powerful. Nowadays I would probably go for a GL-MT3000[1], if there wasn't the NanoPi R5C, which is small, powerful, supports OpenWRT and has Wifi.

As a note: I thought about having Wifi via USB, but the stability and performance of USB-Wifi is nowhere near the integrated / miniPCIe stuff. So if wifi is a requirement, this might be important.

This really made my day. I decided to convert a pretty large project over to v5 a couple of months ago because the new APIs were so much nicer. I rolled the dice a bit because I wasn't sure if I was going to hit weird edge cases, but everything went smoothly. Congrats to the Svelte team and major kudos for coming up with runes!
From my perspective in tech, there has been an exodus along with a ratcheting down for many others.

> Language's purpose is thought

Language's purpose - why it arose - is more likely communication, primarily external communication. The benefit of using language to communicate with yourself via "inner voice" - think in terms of words - seems a secondary benefit, especially considering that less than 50% of people report doing this.

But certainly language, especially when using a large vocabulary of abstract and specialist concepts, does boost cognitive abilities - maybe essentially through "chunking", using words as "thought macros", and boosting what we're able to do with our limited 7+/- item working memory.
The Sonic games were epic.

Love it, read a couple of chapters already and planning to finish the rest. As a person completely new to jj and someone who also enjoys git CLI, this is an intuitive, very useful and enjoyable read.

I’m especially interested after learning about the git compatible backend:

> There's one other reason you should be interested in giving jj a try: it has a git compatible backend, and so you can use jj on your own, without anyone else you're working with to convert too.
Do they still operate with very little backwards compatibility policy? They killed the sapper project and replaced it with sveltekit. Is sveltekit still alive?
I have a 2024 Model 3, and it's a a great car. That being said, I'm under no illusion that the car will ever be self driving (unsupervised).

12.5.6 Still fails to read very obvious signs for 30 Km/h playgrounds zones.

The current vehicles lack sufficient sensors, and likely do not have enough compute power and memory to cover all edge cases.

I think it's a matter of time before Tesla faces a lawsuit over continual FSD claims.

My hope is that the board will grow a spine and bring in a more focused CEO.

Hats off to Elon for getting Tesla to this point, but right now they need a mature (and boring) CEO.
Especially when Google is good enough for most people. Most people just want information not someone to give them digested info at $x per month. All the fancy letter writing assistants they get for free via the corporate computer that likely has Microsoft Word

With kitchen appliances, it's already a thing. For example, there's a "retro" brand that sells microwaves with a timer knob:

https://www.amazon.com/Nostalgia-NRMO7YW6A-Countertop-Microw...

The problem in that segment is that it's basically the same disposable, non-repairable tech that's destined to the dumpster in a couple of years. The company is selling the appearance of having a different design philosophy, and it works because the consumer has no way of telling.

So, if you want to do anything more profound in that space, it's going to be hard to compete.
Elaborate? never heard of this
Unfortunately, landlords do not accept Union Pride as rent payment. We live in a society.
The Framework folks hit an unexpected snag with a similar idea: turns out the US tax on a laptop assembled in Taiwan is much lower than on a box of parts made in Taiwan that you can assemble into a laptop yourself. (Why? Because.) Thus the strange not-really-DIY “DIY edition”.
I'm pretty torn about this, because I am also deeply skeptical of exactly the sort of situations an IRB is set up to prevent. Things like requiring documents to be signed in pen are an important part of a secure audit trail. And an appropriate audit trail with proper safe guards is absolutely essential especially given the way personal health related things are conducted in the inherent darkness of confidentiality. The privacy protections of personal health records also happens to be just as effective at keeping evidence of corrupt conduct within the system private as well.

Maybe the real problem is that there is (at least to a degree) a trilemma between effective, safe from research misconduct, and respectful of individual privacy.
I’ve done the text prompt a couple different ways.

One was with HammerSpoon. The config is in Lua. I could bind a function to a keyboard shortcut, have it bring up a text field, and append the input to my file based on getting the current date.

I also did something similar with AppleScript (which actually uses some JavaScript now) and used the native features of macOS to setup a keyboard shortcut. If I remember correctly this required some nonsense with Automator (maybe Shortcuts would be the way to go now). All of this was done because I was having some weird behaviors and wanted to get rid of HammerSpoon to reduce possible causes. HammerSpoon didn’t seem to be the problem.

Previously when I was on Windows I’d use AutoHotKey for this kind of thing.
I was "computer monitor" (no pun!) for a year in the 1990s, when I was about 10.

I can't really remember the timing, but perhaps in the first half hour before lessons had started I would go to the classrooms of the 5-8 year olds, and if the teacher wanted I'd switch on the classroom computer and load the required program. (Maybe a different child did the 9-11 year olds' classrooms?)

That sucks that you had that negative experience. I’ve driven thousands of miles in FSD and love it. Could not imagine going back. I rarely need to intervene and when I do it’s not because the car did something dangerous. There are just times I’d rather take over due to cyclists, road construction, etc.
You're dealing with something that can change in an hour, but a sampling of general health issues (hangovers, susceptibility to viral infection, healing of muscles and soft tissues after normal wear and tear) shows that the time constant ranges from days to months.
It appears to be this line of Smart Monitors: https://www.lg.com/us/smart-monitors

Why the fuck would anyone buy a "smart monitor" that is hooked up to a computer? Are they too incompetent to directly watch Netflix/Prime/etc on the computer? What is LG's target audience here?

I'm guessing snwy_me got the monitor from someone else and forgot to factory reset it and disable WiFi.
Microwaves that are just time and power setting, cooktops that are just four knobs, ovens that are just mode and heat, maybe a simple timer… I’d buy those too.

As long as there's competition, it is fine. Boeing fits at least that role easily. Plus, they've built the vehicle with no drama and without purchasing Twitter in the middle. This is worth something.

We see similar situation in automotive. Other companies do allow to keep Tesla in check, so there's less opportunity to force "Cybertrucks" onto the market as the only option.
Binomial Trees in the Finance Toolkit
Nice article, although I find it's a bit overly complex if your are not familiar with ML and mathematics at the same time.

I will leave here a geometrical intuition of why they work in case it can help someone:

To simplify things, I will talk about regression, and say we want to predict some value y, that we know depends on x, and we have some noisy measurements of y.

y = f(x)
y_observed = f(x) + noise

If you want some mental image, think about f(x)=sin(x).

Now, a (over fitted) regression tree in this case is just a step function where the value at x is y_observed. If there is no noise, we now that by doing more measurements, we can approximate y with as much precision as we want. But if there is noise, the regression tree will over fit the noisy values, creating some artificial spikes.

If you want to avoid this over fitting, you sample a lot of times the values of X, and for each sample you build a regression tree, and then average them. When you average them, every tree will contain its own particular artificial spikes, and if they are noise, they won't appear in the majority of the other trees. So when you average them, the spikes will attenuate, creating the smoother behaviour that the article talks about.

I hope it helps!
I've been thinking there should actually be more useful (or at least more interesting? :P) crowd computing stuff.

How about something like Superoptimizing (with correctness proofs) open source code?
