There is also the old question of why mathematicians tend to prefer pencils over pens. The most common reason I've heard is to make correction easier, but I don't think that's the real one. When I'm doing math, I never erase, I just cross out and work around it because it's just scratch paper anyway.

I think the real reason for using pencil is the freedom to forget about it. With any type of pen, after a period of inaction, you have to fiddle a bit to get it writing nicely again. A pencil is instant, no matter how long you held it poised in air, pondering your next mark on the paper.
Is this for the paid version? I'm using the free version, and it hasn't asked me for a phone number, but if the paid version requires a phone number, my reaction would be the same as yours: sorry, no.

I’ve never stumbled so much through a title….
That's not a plausible imagination that such a prefect complement exists
Tessellation does not seem to fit this description though
Yeah sure I know that, which is why I relate my experience to that is the result of those engineering choices.

It's pretty funny that you need special hardware to keep nice macOS font rendering to stand in comparison to Windows.

Microsoft has a lot of problems but they are way more pragmatic in their choices giving a "good enough" experience on most hardware.
But if you don't follow Apple's choice, your experience can go from great to barely passable in an instant.

Very different approaches, but as I'm getting older, I understand why the one from Microsoft is popular and why they deliver more value.
Regarding Indian voting machines, there is also randomization involved at various levels during distribution making it difficult to game the system but still I always wonder if there is any way to hack the system. I hope people in charge have a process to continuously evaluate the security procedures and improve it.
Thanks guys for the linux release !!!
If you have electrical experience then the first level is simply wrong. Your instinct should be to parallel relays' outputs where possible (less delay, less relay wear, fewer glitches, more similar to TTL logic), but the software does not support this.

My advice is to treat it like a puzzle: "how do you implement NAND in relays _if_ you can not do any parallel connections". When formulated this way, it is pretty easy to solve.

(The relays disappear in level 2 and we switch to digital logic, so "cannot parallel outputs" limitation makes much more sense there. I am guessing they didn't want to make up a new mechanic just for a single level, but I wished they'd explain it better)
I'm hoping they add free S/MIME certs one day. The only free ones come with CA generated private keys these days. Yuck.
I shudder to think just how badly the US, Russia, and China have hacked each other by this point.
Whats bananas now? Not this one.
Well, unless it's a relay, in which you can easily connect multiple outputs together with no ill effects.

(or a 3-state buffer, but I don't think that'll appear in the game)
On the other end of the "hardware appliance" spectrum, there is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter whose software is written mostly in C and C++, heavily networked, and will be part of any future "loyal wingman" drone program. Each plane costs over 80 million US dollars.
That sounds like an incredibly useful feature. Do you recall what version you were using?
I worked for a brand that was heavily impacted by phishing sites that used LE certs. It was annoying, but honestly I wasn’t sure what LE couple do about it. If you deny creating a cert with Gmail in the domain, people will just use something like gmall instead.
This is so wasteful it boggles the mind.

One of their certs expired probably. Happens to the best of us!

>I'm not sure I ever envisioned VMware abandoning their proprietary virtualization code in favor of leveraging upstream KVM but in any event it's a terrific success story for the upstream KVM community.

I can pretty much guarantee this move was because they want to can all of the people maintaining the proprietary virtualization code. The odds of Broadcom making any significant upstream contributions, beyond the small bit of code they need for workstation to function, is almost 0. I guess you can call it a "win" in that there's one less competing product in the market, but I don't see it boosting KVM functionality or quality in any meaningful way.
Cash isn't technically all wealth
Sorry but that’s unsubstantiated non sense.

To begin with, non monetary benefits have to be declared in most European countries and impact your tax rates and are taxed the same way than giving you more money so your whole dodgy reasoning immediately falls apart.
Exactly. “Unsolvable” is a strong word, but … how wrong is it? Shrug.
Even if I took your word for it: are you surprised a government would hire as cheaply as possible?
that means you have to use rust for system level programming then? there is really no other alternative at system programming as far as memory safe is concerned, that uses no GC or VM.
I don’t think the manager needs a button to remember he’s responsible for the decisions, usually it’s the other way around, devs having to remember they’re not; I’ve been too many times the manager putting it on zero only to hear, “You can’t do that it has to be at least a nine !!!”.
FYI the creator of the game responds to emails. I got stuck and didn't understand something and wrote a quick email and got an explanation.
>>(end-users, gamedevs, review/benchmark sites, SoC vendors) will evaluate GPUs based, in some small part, on how good their geometry shader support is

Do they? I can't remember ever seeing any mention of Geometry Shader performance in a GPU review I've read/watched. The one thing I've ever heard about it was about how bad they were.
A couple things:

- The ZIL is used exclusively for synchronous writes - critical for VMs, databases, NFS shares, and other applications requiring strict write consistency. Many conventional workloads won't benefit. Use `zilstat` to monitor.

- The cheap 16GB Optane devices are indeed great in terms of latency, but they were designed primarily for read caching and have significantly limited write speeds. If you need better throughput, look for the larger Optane models which don't have these limitations.

- SLOG doesn't need to be mirrored - the only risk is if your SLOG device fails at the exact moment your system crashes. While mirroring is reasonable for production systems, with these cheap 16GB Optanes you're just guaranteeing they'll wear out at the same time. You could kill one at a time instead. :)

- As for those 1TB NVMe devices for read cache (L2ARC) - that's probably overkill unless you have a very specific use case. L2ARC actually consumes RAM to track what's in the cache, and that RAM might be better used for ARC (the main memory cache). L2ARC only makes sense when you have well-understood workload patterns and your ARC is consistently under pressure - like in a busy database server or similar high-traffic scenario. Use `arcstat` to monitor your cache hit ratios before deciding if you need L2ARC.
Makes sense. But in my experience, both parents and physicians seem unable to update their "fat is the root nutritional evil" faith.

> Instead, they say, ADHD may simply represent another point on the spectrum of neurodiversity: the range of different ways of thinking and behaving that count as normal.

Every disorder comes in this category. All are equal. Including the person who cannot pay attention and the person who pays too much attention to details.

I had severe ADHD and a version of autism growing up. I never got any treatment. And by the time I was in college, I realized EVERY INDIVIDUAL has some mental impairment that causes them to not do as well as the next person. I refused to take medication at this point.

Over time into adulthood, I was able to reduce the ADHD symptoms. It came up every few months for weeks at a time. I would just take a time out and become quiet during those weeks. I reduced my autism somehow as well. Both illnesses were out effectively out of consideration. Several years later I go to a stressful workplace and within 6 months my ADHD and autism return.

I now understand why I had it in the first place. It was induced. And it was dysfunctional parenting. I am still trying to distill precisely what factor is inducing the illnesses.

My definition of autism is the development of the mind is skewed in one direction and becomes unable to grow and develop in other areas of life. My definition of ADHD is dissatisfaction with the current state of things causing the mind to jump around on to various topics. The skewed thinking of the mind and dissatisfaction of the current topic is induced from rash reactions in response to sudden stresses. I think the causes are fault blaming, irrational gravities, fear, anxiety, and pressure changes... that could be either coming from within or from elsewhere.
but it doesn't say "only Claude for desktop", which makes GP's comment relevant.
The problem is not the ad sites dying. The problem is that even the good sites will not have any readers, as the content will be appropriated by the AI du jour. This makes it impossible to heal the web, because people create personal sites with the expectation of at least receiving visitors. If nobody finds your site, it is as if it didn't exist.
Do you think you could compile it to WASM and make it into a browser extension?
AnythingLLM supports Claude out of the box.
> How do you create an experience so compelling that it replaces the current paradigm?

The current paradigm of typing "[search term] reddit" and hoping for the best? I think they have a fighting chance.
I have to massively disagree here. I'm far more confident about code written in the modern style of C++ than I am in old school C++.

Modern C++ with RAII, smart pointers, constexpr, concepts, and heavy instrumentation is so much easier to reason about. It's actually close to Alexander Stepanov's idealised C++.
Sounds about right and it explains a lot about the current quality of google products and google search. :-)
I mean.. the last three critical nation wide software failures had nothing to do with memory safety.. but okay. Shouldn't we base recommendations on actual experience?

Your app uses 150MB of ram upon launch.

It peaks to around 3GB during the hub creation (on a folder with ~100 videos but I see your demo is limited to 50).

It finally settles at 350MB.

Here's the breakdown: https://ibb.co/N9MYvNx

My guess is that what you view in your task manager is a single process, not all the processes started by your application.
You’re also giving Google feedback when you click a search result link. Presumably that should be a huge signal for measuring search quality.

Heck, Google even promoted the `ping`[0] anchor attribute feature so they can log what link you click without slowing you down. (Firefox doesn’t support ping, which means when Firefox users click on a Google search result link they’re sent to an internal google.com URL first and then redirected for logging purposes)

In many ways it's probably already more useful than Google. Regular GPT-4 dramatically reduced my need to search Google for anything.

However it refused to search the internet for instances of my email address. Not sure what the benefit of hiding powerful functionality is.

I would like it to work as follows:

- using a model with an extremely large context size, analyze the top n results for a particular search phrase and store it in a vector db and let my chat session interact with it.

- it does not have to return results immediately, it could ask follow-up questions to reduce scope and improve the signal to noise ratio, or decide to augment the initial search on its own, once the searcher's goal is better understood.
That’s what the source attribution is for.
How would any software be FIPS compliant? Is there a "memory-safe" implementation of TLS that is also FIPS certified?
> The main issue with gravity is that it is interpreted so far as a curvature of space time,

Yes, that is the main issue. It doesn't have to be that way though. If you look at the Einstein field equations, and solutions like the Schwarzschild and Kerr metrics, the key component is a metric tensor that is nothing more than a mapping from flat spacetime to curved spacetime. We have the ability to choose which interpretation to use. The metrics are nothing more than Mercator-like projections.

If you take the curved spacetime view then you get distortions of spacetime. If you take the flat spacetime view then you get other distortions like that the speed of light -though always seen as the same locally- varies according to the gravitational potential (there are other distortions as well).

We seem to have a bit of a fetish for the curved spacetime view. But oddly when you look for animations depicting interactions with black holes and photons or particles / small bodies what you almost invariably find are of two types: a) flat spacetime representations, or b) the funnel representation, and (b) often comes with a flat spacetime representation above the funnel. How do you think the authors produce the flat spacetime representations? A: By applying the metrics to go from curved spacetime to flat! And why do they use flat spacetime for their animations? A: Because it's easier for humans to understand!

The reality is that flat and curved spacetime are two sides of the same coin. If curved spacetime is the sticking point for quantizing gravity, then switch to flat spacetime.
They Are Scrubbing the Internet Right Now
I agree. my comment was not meant to suggest that I believe otherwise.
> Apple gobbling up supply chains and production capacity is not something a hardware startup should be happy with.

You start with a very good and fair point.

> Also, startup engineers don't necessarily like "alien technology", which is what Apple is becoming by developing everything behind closed doors and with little cooperation.
> Startups don't like to pay 10-30% of their revenue just for running their software on a device someone has already paid for.

You ended with one that is pretty much at odds with my experience. Startups value distribution channels, and the App Store has been fantastic for this.

Furthermore, it's one thing to dislike Apple. It's another thing for people to veer off into conspiracy theory, which is what half the threads on here have started to do.
Sounds like a grift
I agree. I also have an M1 mini with 8GB of RAM and while I wish I'd bought one with more RAM, it work nicely when the task doesn't require much RAM. The incremental benefits of the M2-M4 are nice, but they do not obsolete the M1 by any stretch of the imagination.

Well yes, it isn't actually shocking, more like annoying -- really annoying.
NextDNS does not work many a times. I prefer the iOS app so that it’s easy to disable when needed, but the app has not been updated for a few years. Many a times the test page at test.nextdns.io will show as unconfigured and sometimes it will show as passing the test.

On Apple TV, I have the NextDNS profile installed, but it still doesn’t work.

Most of the community forum posts on NextDNS don’t get any answers. I’m sure the DNS servers exist, but the clients and the configuration options have not been supported by the creators.

I wouldn’t recommend NextDNS to anyone because of this apathy by its creators.

> Prices are not the relevant statistic though, it's housing starts [1]. They dropped from ~1.8M in April 2022 to ~1.3M today. Prices are affected by supply and demand equally, while starts are much more affected by supply.

New construction and prices are always connected, I'm not sure how you could consider one without the other. New builds increases supply, but building them requires buyers willing to pay market price for them. You can't have one without the other.

> As for how the Treasury and Fed managed the crisis, it was easily the most incredible macro success story since I've been alive. Had you told me in 2022 that they'd manage sub-3% inflation without a recession at all, I'd have said you believed in fairy tales.

Its too early to make that call either way. They may very well have managed the "soft landing" they kept pitching, but we really won't know for sure for at least a decade or so. Markets move slow and economies move even slower, give it time to shake out before popping bottles and awarding Nobel Prizes.

Unless you want to use your cheap 4k monitor as an equivalent 1080P display (which is not a lot of space for today's standard) it's not at all viable.
2560 is actually 1440p and no, it's not very good, even with BetterDisplay without even talking about the performance and rendering implications.

The fact is that if you buy an expensive Mac desktop, you need to also buy one of the few expensive displays that can work properly with it, otherwise you get degraded experience or compromise, which is unacceptable for hardware this price.
We are in this situation only because of both engineering and commercial decisions from Apple.

Considering that they sold an entry level 27" iMac for a lower price than what the Studio sells for, well into 2021, the position is indefensible. Even if they wanted to make an external display, they didn't have to make it that overbuilt/expensive without any other choice.
It is purely profit motivated move, because they want to extract 50% margin on everything, the old iMac was a low margin device and it's really the only reason it doesn't exist anymore. Conveniently all of that is supported by an unnecessary engineering decision (they didn't have to remove subpixel rendering).

Why do you feel the need to defend a mega corp terrible choices, only made to milk you as much as possible.

As for the niche thing, having installed/managed quite a few of those old 27" iMacs, I can tell you they were extremely popular, precisely because they were cost effective. I think you largely underestimate how large the customer base for the 27" iMac was.
As far as I'm concerned, it's way less niche than a 650$ headphone, but the difference is that they can milk 50% margin on those while a big iMac at that margin target would put it in a price territory where most wouldn't even consider.

So yes, you can get a cheap display to have a price contained setup, but it's really not a great experience and doesn't make a lot of sense to comprise if you are going to get an expensive computer in the first place.
At this rate you can get All-in-one 27" PC for not much more than a standalone display, it's not going to be great but at least it's cheap. If we are going to compromise, at least do it right.
Having worked in government: Well, yes. Defense contractors aren't cheap, and they could probably hire cheaper talent if they were motivated/willing to clear away some red tape. That said, not everyone at a defense contractor is exactly top talent.
