> On engagement, I saw a negative recently where someone started replacing banner images for events with AI generated content and their conversion to tickets plummeted. YMMV. People can spot it a mile off and they are getting better at it.

Indeed.

I like this stuff, I have fun with it, I have no problem with others making and sharing pics they like just as I myself do… but when I notice it in the wild on packaging or advertising, it always makes me wonder: what other corners are getting cut?

(20 years ago, similar deal but with product art that had 3mm pixels and noticeable jpeg artefacts)

Dunno. The models are getting better as well as the consumers noticing more — I've not seen Cronenberg fingers in a while now — and I don't know who will max out first, or when.

Check Hurd's daemons and Plan9/9front (and Hurd's) namespaces.
You're two library functions away from having it easy:

Copy from JavaScript to WebAssembly:
Use TextEncoder to convert a JS String to Uint8Array
Copy the bytes from the Uint8Array to WemAssembly.Memory

Copy from WebAssembly to JavaScript:
Copy the bytes from WebAssembly.Memory into a Uint8Array
Use TextDecoder to convert from Uint8Array to JS String

JS Strings are pretty much always going to be "rope data structures". Trying to provide anything other than copy-in and copy-out is going to expose implementation details that are complicated as fuck and not portable between browsers.
If you consider plan9/9front Unix 2.0, they did with namespaces.

I've been using a separate, local admin account and non-admin users for a while for friends and family.

There's not a lot a typical user does that requires admin. For the odd software that breaks Windows' conventions, it's usually enough to install it outside of Program Files.

Of course with the push towards Microsoft accounts for login, this might soon be difficult.

Didn't know Steve Blank was looking at quantum computing! That's cool.

I had a brief run-in with error-correcting gates. My research topic was about a simple bit-flip operation (quantum dot qubits) under random "telegraph" noise -- different laser pulse shapes result in different error rates which are actually a function of time (on the scale of the pulse itself). Point being that even given a particular physical qubit framework, individual gates are actually a family of (physical) operations with different error rates (and other features, of course) to be optimized for the same logical operation. Not too unlike the idea of NAND vs NOR flash.

Personally, I feel that's slightly "good" in the sense that there are many paths we can take to get quantum computation "good enough".
Fsync Errors
It’s different when it’s a regular word, used for ages. However, the term “Open Source” (as applied to software) was created by the OSI to explicitly mean exactly the OSI definition, no more, no less. The OSI definition was based on the Debian Free Software Guidelines, which Debian had to write because, IIRC, at the time not even the FSF had a strict definition of what constituted free software, and Debian needed some lines to be drawn in order to know what they did and did not want to distribute on Debian CD:s. Claiming something is “Open Source” but not OSI-approved is like claiming something is “legal” just because you personally think it’s acceptable, even when the actual law does not agree. Some terms come with strict definitions.

The article mentions one of the main appeals of factorio is you get to think like a programmer without bosses/overhead from actual work but it’s always been hard to get into games for that reason because I could just work on a side project with the same result. I really don’t understand the appeal.

Before we try to bring water to a desert, we should stop turning livable places into deserts. If you take a ride on the I-20 or I-30, you will see a lot of harmful engineering and inconsiderate land use, both causing regions will lose the rain. You see, the annual average total rain is not given, it can change with the land use and rain handling. Gorchkov and Makarieva put it in good math and named one of these processes a biotic pump. Generally, we need to stop treating the rainwater as an obnoxious waste and we need to stop greedy water management practices and start sharing the water with nature.

BTW: just in case you need to know, I am not a dreamer, but I do have a good education in Hydrology. Currently, I am doing an experiment that will revive a couple of springs with very cheap and simple measures. Everything is measured and documented.

This is a fantastic way to turn everyone off of your language: dismiss everything they like about the ones they're already using!
You're voluntarily talking past their point to lick boots and win an argument around a domain of knowledge that im sure you feel very confident in. The $31 'buy now' issue is a secondary point to the story that demonstrates some of namecheaps incompetence and sets up the situation for the main issue. I dont know why you're reading the rest of their story this way, but it reads that they were more than happy to continue the sale at the original price and didn't expect a finalized transaction at $31.

The main issue is misrepresenting errors on their side as legitimate transactions to communicate to the seller, which works exclusively to their advantage instead of acting as a neutral broker.

There should have never been any financial insight on the sellers side that they were willing to make a 125x markup because that misrepresents the reality of the situation: they were always willing to pay around the original listed price and saw the discounted moment as a suitable moment to act. In spite of this discount being their mistake, the poster still wanted to purchase at the original price. This then allowed them to misjudge the motivation of the customer and poison the sale by renegotiating to a higher price because of this perception, which they were never interested in doing. This also puts them in a strategically worse spot since some of their cards are now on the table.

Sure, Obsidian is not open source, so if that's where you draw the line, fine.

But otherwise, Obsidian can be synced quite nicely whichever way you want (I use SyncThing personally), and the Obsidian developers actively encourage you to do so, even if that means they don't get your subscription money.

As for extending its functionality, plugins are really powerful, approachable and in general a joy to write (I wrote one for my private use, using the JS framework I know and not the one suggested by Obsidian, and it still works wonderful, I use it almost every day).

I really love Obsidian, matching its feature set will be no easy task for an open source project.
Here is a simple example [1] where you can setup a replication for to send data for events tables where tenant_id = `3`. You can setup multiple groups, where each group could be a tenant [2].

Would love to hear more about the use case. I can see the use case being a bit more dynamic, where you don't have to custom define ids per se (?).

> If these procedures sound easy to you, imagine that on the ground, the astronauts put on their suits and equipment with the assistance of technicians and it took them a little more than an hour. Now, imagine doing this inside the habitable volume of an Apollo spacecraft or a lunar module with one or two other humans alongside you trying to do the same thing.

lol.. yea.. but you're nearly weightless when you do so. Which makes it easier and harder at the same time. One of the upshots is you can put both legs of your pants on at the same time, and if you attach the suit to the wall, you can more or less just "stand up" into it.
I was assuming the receive antenna is also a phased array and the first thing after each element has to be a passband filter and an LNA for reasons of G/T. That happens before all the demodulation per element. You said the approach was to "overwhelm the receiver to the point it becomes a non-linear device", and pushing that LNA past P1dB will start to do just that. If the LNA remains linear, a countermeasure to the process you're talking about would be for its user to lower the symbol rate and number of carriers per channel to increase the C/N of the desired signal in an effort to punch through the jamming, albeit with less capacity.

Having said all that, not sure which of the two effects is at play here.
Small claims court often works, depending upon jurisdiction.

Where I am there is no forced disclosure, no costs costs assigned, and it is $150 to file.

And while a lawyer can represent a large firm, an employee has to be present, and the lawyer cannot use excessive legalise, the court is carried on in plain language... with the judge expaining things to you if you don't userstand.

That's pretty accessible.

The biggest risk is not knowing about no required discovery, and costs. Lawyers for big corp will ask for things, and hope you work your tail off. I just say no.

They will also elude to how expensive this will be, to which I typically snort.

Said large companies typically spend 50k to 100k on lawyers, and I spend $150 and a dozen or two hours of my personal time.

All very amusing.

Anyhow, a good equalizer.
Although that's a good call as I hadn't considered that, I still don't see why you want to use a mask. Surely you just need two tiny SVG files and show only one or the other. And since they're tiny, I would absolutely embed them directly, which is why I didn't consider the case of an img tag.
If I had my druthers, even citizens [0] serving life sentences would still be voting from their jail cells. [1]

Voting isn't a privilege for those who obey the government, it's something the government should owe people for the control it exerts over their lives... And people being punished by the state are being controlled even more than most.

[0] In this framing, citizenship a way to demarcate between people who have a long-term stake in what's happening, as opposed to temporary visitors.

[1] The only real problem is what jurisdiction they should be voting in, when their current location isn't under their control and might bear little relation to where their families/properties/interests are.

Yeah, I don't necessarily buy the whole Chomskian program. I'm willing to be persuaded that the reason kids learn to speak despite their individual poverty of stimulus is that there was sufficient empirically experience stimulus over evolutionary time. The Chomskian grammar stuff seems way too Platonic to be a description of human neuroanatomy. But be that as it may, it's clear the stimulus it takes to train an LLM is orders of magnitude greater than the stimulus necessary to train an individual child, so children must have a different process for language acquisition.
lol yes hope techies are colluding to ensure democracy
Overall this article looks pretty good. There was one major numerical error I noticed, but then the article corrected itself at the end. This was the error:

> With an error rate of 1% the surface error correction code requires ~ 500 physical qubits required to encode one logical qubit.

This was the correction near the end:

> With an error rate of 0.3% the surface error correction code requires ~ 10 thousand physical qubits to encode one logical qubit to achieve 10^-10 logical qubit error rate.

The qubit count at an error rate of 1% was clearly off because the threshold of the surface code under circuit noise is a bit below 1%. Meaning at 1% it would have infinite cost; way more than 500. To get good numbers you need be well below the threshold. At a 0.1% error rate, assuming a square grid of qubits with local connections, the best physical-per-logical estimate that I'm aware of is 600, from surface codes plus a few extra parity checks layered on top [1][2]. Another code that achieves a teraquop footprint of ~600 on a planar grid is the honeycomb code [3][4] but that number requires a dissipative two qubit gate which seems to be harder to build than the usual unitary ones.

I find lots of solutions in binary, e.g. 3 and 5: 011 * 101 = 001111. Or if you don't like leading zeroes, 22*29: 10110 * 11101 = 1001111110

A general solution is 2^n+9 and 2^(n+1)-2 for n >= 5
this is going beyond my level of experience, but i thought there can't be any such example because javascript is the only way. the difference is between code written in javascript which is fast of course and accessing js functions from WASM, which is slower. how much slower, i don't know. i also don't know how old that discussion is where i learned about this. so maybe it improved since. that would be good news.

did you mean there are snappy webapplications running in WASM? if you have any examples, i'd be curiuos to learn more.

> MKBHD got the ratio’s right in his review, 75% of all approaching population are excited about the car and when asked to guess its price, they all wildly overestimate it, guessing close to a million than a 100k

This has to be hyperbole. There are many in the middle class areas I spend a lot of time in, and even $100K cars are a rarity here. No-one is thinking "oh, wow, sure are a lot of people who just bought million dollar cars, here where the median home price is $500-600K!"

The usna is a part of the executive branch and the executive cannot sponsor election related content (hatch act). The author posted a blog post referring to the lecture in question which called out the specific name of a candidate. If the author made such a reference during her lecture, even if by accident, the organizers, officers of the executive branch, would be at risk of prosecution for sponsoring an election related event, which would be a complete pain in the ass even if they would be found innocent. Cancelling the lecture was prudent. Maybe postponing the lecture would been a more politic choice, but it was still a reasonable thing to do.

I remember when Guitar Hero came out I didn't understand why anybody would play that instead of just buying a guitar. The point is the videogame itself is designed to be fun and remove plenty of other elements from the real life equivalent that focuses more on enjoyment and less on grinding it out. If you're thinking about "what have I accomplished?" instead of "I'm having so much fun!" then it might not be for you.

The other aspect is there are plenty of people that like to think like programmers, but have no experience programming and the barrier to entry for a videogame is substantially lower than even figuring out a "hello world!" program for someone who wouldn't even know how to pick a programming language.

Edward H. Faulkner published "Plowman's Folly" in 1943.

He revisited his analysis in 1947 in "A Second Look" in which he responded to critics, and doubled-down:

"The soil which the gardener or farmer works is made up of tiny crystalline fragments. The action of soil acids, principally those released through the decay of organic matter, unlocks the minerals required for healthy plant growth. [ ... ] the continuous use of commercial fertilizers is a mistake. [ ... ] The "bank account" theory of soil is bankrtup. It holds that whatever we take from the soil in the growing of crops must be put back - usually in the form of prepared fertilizers. What the soil needs, on the contrary, is the gentle chemistry described above. If man cannot learn this, he will pay and pay, ultimately to his ruin".

1943. 1947. This is not new stuff. By the time "A Second Look" was published, there were 340,000 copies of "Plowman's Folly" in print.

A carfax report lists issues with the actual car. You don’t want a car with “car exploded” in the carfax report, since this would translate to actual damage in the car, damage which could actually affect you if you were to drive the car.

On the other hand, a domain reputation at Google et al. is more like Carfax reporting “This car was once parked at the same street where a horrific mass murder took place.” If this was a problem since, let’s assume for the sake of argument, the police would pull you over all the time if you drove it, it would still not be a problem with the actual car; the problem would be the police, and fixing police behavior would be the only workable solution. Using Carfax as an analogy still places the blame on the domain owner, not on Google et al.

There used to be redwoods all over california. Hardy fire resistant trees, now they are relatively scarce. Second,wood is heavy. The economics to remove dead trees is not there, does not get done for reasons. Next, the area of the land is immense. Cutting fird brakes through it us tens of millions of acres. Further, fire breaks do little in high wind situations. What does move the needle are forest fires. Letting them burn. We've been practicing industrial scale fire suppression since the 50s. Next, immense areas of tree farms, second and third growth forests.

Best thing, get the hell out of the forests and let them all burn on a regular basis.
