No there is not. What do you mean!

Nothing has been verified to work beyond 50 years, and those with data errors and failure rates.

There are those CDs made out of rock, but they have never veen proven to pass the test of time.
Many of these projects are inch deep into intelligence and miles deep into the current technology. Some things will see tremendous benefits but as far as artificial intelligence we’re not there yet. Im thinking gaming will benefit a lot from these..
I've gotten considerably better at debugging complex issues after resolving to always put in the work to find out what is really happening - build in the observability, export the data, write whatever analysis tools you may need. Wasted so much time earlier in my career on blind guesswork.
Yeah, 100% agree on all points.

The idea of winning a conventional war in China's backyard after 10-20 years of them building toward it is absurd. And nuclear war is uh, nuclear war. Not really a "winner" there.

The only thing stopping China is obviously the huge financial incentive of losing their biggest trading partner(s). That will obviously be an enormous loss for them. At some point though they may calculate that the long term gains are worth it, I don't know the calculus there.
Way to go. For maybe half of the voters in United States to question election integrity right now all it takes is any amount of doubt.

They will run with it. You can explain the details of computer security all day, and how one password doesnt matter.

They will not listen. They are not looking for details or a reasonable explanarion. The voting conspiracy people only look for confirmation.
Clearly Apple uses iMessage to create a significant lock in effect in the USA. So, yes, as their main competitor, Google should want to attack the market share of iMessage. It’s probably the biggest thing standing in the way of Android. Pushing a competitor with great interoperability between Android and iOS would make sense.

I mean they clearly believe that they can do that by themselves in the US market but WhatsApp has the advantage of being able to lean of expatriates and people with contacts abroad as a steppingstone.
The problem of versioning binaries is more fundamental, not tied to the tool.

Binary assets themselves don't belong under traditional source control because they are not suitable to be diffed. That is why git LFS stores them seperately and only versions their hashes.

wat. When your company re-orgs, finding out what the new strategy is and what the expectations are is not bending a knee. There are absolutely times to stand up for yourself and defy what corporations try to pull, but "They rearranged the management structure" is not one of them.
You will get startup types blatantly ripping you off and stealing your ideas, and it's smiled upon to fight back and shut them down, sure.

Conversely a person could start patenting obvious ideas (morse code + cell phone seems like one) and then thousands of people independently arrive at the idea unaware of prior work. So now all that legal paperwork backing meant to fight off the startup type, the dragon, is used on an innocent - he who fights dragons should be careful not to become a dragon himself

IMO the patent system here is transformed into a "first person who calls dibs is the winner!" type free for all, and we get professional dib-callers. And the reason why it happens is the content of the patent, the ideation, execution, is all rote simple and not all that innovative.
I do the same thing, but woth debian. These are good choices.
Do you need Redis? PostgreSQL does queuing, locking, and pub/sub (2021)
Why systemd is a problem for embedded Linux
You're lucky to be working with them, an amazing team.
Not really my reasoning. The article has some quotes that basically the openness of linux means it is not difficult to compile your own distro that is purpose built for cheating. I have no personal exp with cheating systems or game dev. Assuming the quotes are true it would be beneficial to everyone(including themself)if valve took on the burden of making an anti cheat distro of linux for their gaming platform. Sure the game devs need to worry about security too.

I wonder if an under-display camera[0] would be good enough for a laptop? If Apple truly is pivoting to OLED, this option becomes available, and it's been proven to be pretty OK by various phones.

Obviously this won't provide amazing footage, but if you're making high-quality footage for e.g. YouTube you probably want to buy a dedicated camera anyway.

That’s not surprising at all. I don’t about the scientific apps you’re talking about, but I assume that their user base would be accessing them through academic site licenses. Music apps, however, would be predominantly used by hobbyists, a few of which would later make it big. The problem was/is that the price tags assumed studio budgets. But if you wanted those studio sounds at home, well the price is a big challenge until you start making solid money. Which is even fewer
How’s this different to ‘git mergetool’?
Didn’t CAD automation software also adopt it? I remember MasterCam, SolidWorks and others needing hardware dongles.

The market for that is tiny compared to music but, the money made basically guaranteed given adoption rates. Even today I think there are too few contenders to pose a significant market risk to these companies.
I've seen several different solutions to this problem over the decades, and they all have one thing in common: they quickly get value-engineered out of existence.

There's always a fraction of a cent to be saved by adding slightly less adhesive, using slightly cheaper plastic, replacing the perforating tool less often, etc.; couple iterations in, the solution stops working reliably. There's no back pressure, because it's not like anyone is choosing where they shop by whether the single-use plastic bags are easy to open.
This is really, really, fucking good, thank you.
I'm working on something similar, https://www.generativestorytelling.ai/tinyllmtown/index.html a small town where all NPCs are simulated using a small LLM. They react to everything the hero does, which means no more killing a dragon and having no one even mention it.

Once I release it, I'll have it simulate 4 hours every 2 hours or so of real time, and visitors can vote on what quest the hero undertakes next.

The simulation is simpler, I am aiming to keep everything to a size that can run on a local GPU with a small model.

Right now you can just watch the NPCs try to figure out love triangles, hide their drinking problems, complain about carrots, and celebrate when the hero saves the town yet again.
Well I'm filing this tip away for future use.
Consider looking at Mazda. They all seem to retain physical controls in addition to (optional) touch controls. Probably other brands out there too though.
Google sells RCS services, and they botched their way out of the social market. For a company which depends on ad targeting that’s pretty huge and Meta is hardly going to help their biggest competitor in advertising but the phone companies are far more negotiable.
Subversion was much better than anything existing before, but a very fundamental problem is that it treats branches and tags, which are conceptually different, the same way. This results in branches not tracking well their history and tags behaving like moving targets.
> There are those CDs made out of rock, but they have never veen proven to pass the test of time.

You're saying that something that has existed for less than 50 years doesn't count because we haven't been able to actually test it for more than 50 years, even though we understand the physics behind it and can theoretically predict how long it will last...
Of course everyone is using phone cases - without them, hardly any smartphone would last a month without needing a screen replacement.

(It was better a decade ago, when smartphones were still thick and made of hard plastic. Now that they're all thin and metal, they're too slippery to handle safely.)
Well technically...

I've had two examples of this myself. In both cases, it was because I was unhappy with existing libraries and decided to write my own.

The first was a simple Text UI for a business application. In other words forms using a text UI instead of a GUI. Underneath it was just laying out the screen with curses, and reading the keyboard, moving between fields on the form and doing basic jobs like text, number and date entry. I don't recall why we didn't use existing libraries, but it did mean we had something to compare it to. To this day remember the end result. It was blinding fast. So fast it ran far faster on a IBM PC running MMU-less Linux that any web form you'll find today. I still have no idea what the other libraries could possibly be doing to make them so slow. If you want to get a feel for the difference in todays terms, compare vim to vscode.

The other thing was a web framework. None of the other members of my team had formal programming qualifications. All of them struggled with any sort of concurrency and I found myself forever fixing race conditions in their web apps. Whenever the "run the main loop until nothing changes" nature of modern web frameworks reared it's ugly head, they were lost. So I wrote one that didn't need that loop. Instead, when you changed a property, it and everything that depended on it changed when you did the assignment, synchronously. It turned you needed so much boilerplate it was ugly to use. But again, it was fast. The first remark most people made when using a SPA based on my app was how snappy it was. Everyone touts how simple and fast their virtual DOM is, but evidently that's only in comparison to other virtual DOM's. Compare to just manipulating the real DOM once and only once for each change, they are all dog slow.

Then there is the difference between a Linux Desktop and the Windows 11 desktop. While I guess it happens less often than not, Windows 11 can take seconds to respond to a mouse click. Turns out that creates a cognitive load Windows uses seem to be unaware of. They have to constantly poll the interface to verify it's read for the next click or key press. You don't notice it until you move from a Linux windowing system to Windows. Then it's jarring, for a while.
Let me add something I found recently, though I haven't used it yet, but it looks impressive from the webpage: Uiua

The 'the only reason a company exists is to make money for the stockholders' is why we're in this mess right now. Because that's the regime management is operating under. And they are delivering what's demanded. Yeah management is looting companies to the detriment of their long term health. But that's allowed because it aligns their incentives with predatory capitalists.
You are on the right track in my opinion. The key is to encode the interface between the game and the agent so that the agent can make a straightforward choice. For example, by giving the agent the state of a nxn board as the world model, and then a finite set of choices, an agent is capable of playing the game robustly and explaining the decision to the game master. This gives the illusion that the agent reasons. I guess my point is that it's an encoding problem of the world model to break it down into a simple choice.

I am not a fan of the esoteric language of legalese and have used this very example to illustrate how flaccid a handle most folks have on language. I'm sure you've also heard, many times, the terms burgle and rob used synonymously.

On a silly note, I wonder if the "assault" rifle controversy could be quelled with silencers. Or maybe by arguing that an assault rifle should be far less menacing than a battery musket.
If you can advise them, I hope for their sake they’ll move to the States because they’re underpaid in most so-called first world countries.
I don't agree. Can you share an example?

And those scripts should check they are indeed calling the gnu coreutils version before they proceed.
I forget where I read it, but this isn't a very thought-out view. _Especially_ with the example of access ramps -- yes, the ramps were originally put in after activism for better wheelchair accessibility. But who ended up using them a whole lot and benefiting from them? Parents with strollers. Would we say that the needs of parents of young children, or young children are a minority? Do we not care about their experience even when we're having a population crisis?

In hindsight, this is a pretty obvious conclusion if we would have taken a bit of extra time to consider why we might want accessibility ramps, but instead we get sidetracked by exactly the kind of thinking displayed by your comment.

When people say "accessibility is good for everyone" it's not a naive feel-good comment. It's an acknowledgement that at some point all of us could use help with accessibility (e.g. when you become a parent, when you get old, etc)
You probably don't have many roundabouts where you live, right?
People care because it’s enormously better than SMS and also better than RCS. Nobody would care if green didn’t mean things like no guarantee of better than same-day message delivery.
>If only I could get management to understand that a bunch of prompts shitting into eachother isn't "cutting-edge agentic AI"...

It should never be this way. Even with narrow AI, there needs to be a governance framework that helps measure the output and capture potential risks (hallucinations, wrong data / links, wrong summaries, etc)
I'm on an Intel iMac, and llama can't leverage its GPU. So, it's 1990s slow. It's literally like talking to a machine in the 90s, from the slow response time to the 1200-2400 baud output.

It's easy to give tasks to, hard to have a conversation with. Just paste the task in and let it churn, come back to it later.
If you're working for that kind of company then you certainly aren't getting a choice whether to use JQuery or React.
Plenty of people don't know the definition of "carrier," and it's especially confusing because Google is a reseller (via Google Fi).

A single comma would clear up any possible confusion and require nearly zero time to add.
BHPohotoVideo is huge, they've been around for like 20 years!

Best way I've discovered to find those sorts of deals is to use Slickdeals and set up alerts.
I’ll miss Guitar Techniques. I feel like they missed the boat and should have integrated with Soundslice…

YouTube has some great players, but I’d often search for guitarists from Guitar Techniques that YouTube algorithms hadn’t played for me yet.
Samsung used to do this for some of their cheaper monitors. I remember I bought a couple of them for one of my early dual-screen setups (15+ years ago) and every day I would slowly and gently run my finger along the entire length of the monitor until it would power on. It had to be slow otherwise there was a chance I would power it off again going back the other direction. Even more fun because after turning it on, I would slide past some other button, unintentionally opening some menu and changing some random settings (most commonly changing the input from DVI to something else). If I was lucky, I would power it off after changing something and wonder why it wasn't powering on again (note: it was powered on, but set to the wrong input). How that monitor got past Q&A I will never understand. IIRC the buttons had tiny, nearly invisible (light grey on black) icon labels... I used to keep a flashlight on my table so I could figure out which invisible button to press to get things working again.
I was working at a large telco back in 2010 when they started introducing RCS. Yes it’s that old…

Point is, we never got very far because every carrier and every phone manufacturer wanted to have their say. It was (and probably still is) "standard definition by committee". And that just takes forever.
Sorry that that’s the situation you’re dealing with. Yeah CBN seems to be about 2-3x that price, although there is a tincture[0] from harbor city hemp that contains 600 standard doses for $80, but that would be absurd to get without experiencing efficacy first. There’s a small chance a local smoke shop or hemp shop (will have more reliable/safe products than former) would have something for a better price. You’ve probably already done this, but pharmacies offer various discounts that you could ask about as well.

Memory is really interesting. For example, if you play 100,000 rounds of 5x5 Tic Tac Toe. Do you really need to remember game 51247 or do you recognize and remember a winning pattern? In Reinforcement Learning you would based on each win revise the policy. How would that work for genAI?
In a similar vein I recommend Empire of the Sum by Keith Houston, an excellent history of calculators that also spends a lot of time on how we humans calculated before we had them
Nice! Solving this problem with technology. Looks amazing. Well done!
As a doctor in Australia you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. This is a first year salary. The equivalent in the US is around 45-55,000 USD annually FOR THE ENTIRE RESIDENCY, no overtime pay.
Cue the em-dash, semicolon, colon, and parenthetical as secondary clause separators. If you still can't use the (in my opinion mandatory) serial comma without ambiguity then you need to rephrase.

You seem to have a narrow definition of “normal” for datacenters. Meta were using OCP mellanox NICs for common hardware platforms a decade ago and still are.
If you debug an embedded app, or you are interacting with a realtime embedded device, often debugging does not work because of memory or speed limitations. Then short print statements do wonders.

Also it can help to figure out the order in which pieces of code accross the codebase are executed. It is my experience that in such case you would very easily loose track when using a debugger.
Thanks! The web versions of both of our mobile/web games do about the same as the IAP versions. We dont have ads in the mobile versions, so the ad revenue is reasonble. We're actually leaning more into smaller web games as a result of that. Profit on this game specifically I think it deserves better. I think Goober Dash is a great game, but it's not crushing it like I'd hoped.
I still don't get it. I don't care about reducing complexity, I care about reducing complexity that will be me of my teams problem, and even then, it's not my top priority, getting rid of potential manual error is more important.

A pencil will always be simpler than all of Keep's infrastructure, but it requires vastly more skill and attention than a cloud notes app, to the point where it's primary benefit seems to be as a form of mental exercise.

This is a great article but one thing it doesn’t discuss is the importance of who the underlying cloud provider is. Many companies are pretty locked into AWS for better and for worse, regardless of whether they use things like lambda that are known for lock-in. Just the fact that you can use crunchydata, redis.com, and heroku is a reflection of being on AWS under the hood. Moving to something like fly.io or railway means introducing internet egress between your services.
Do you realize it toggles data and formula display?
That ought to be fine for anyone with more short term memory than a gnat.
Entire books have been filled with home remedies, sewing ideas, and cooking methods. You could, perhaps, cite the editors of those books, but the "individual housewives" who contributed them would not have traceable identities.

The ideas and methods were shared among communities, church groups, in schools, and handed down in families. Often by oral tradition and by illiterate people.

In modern times, you could check the archives of Heloise, and magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Sunset. Columnists would usually receive hints and tips from readers, and give credit at that point.
That's very insightful, and I just wish I had the ability to explain this to non-technical managers.
