Well, as an experienced gardener I can tell you that growing perfect broccoli and cualiflower is very challenging, growing leafy greens is not.

if you have a desent sized garden and are constantly growing stuff in it, you will almost always have greens one way or another. all those failed broccoli result in a consolation prize: the leafy greens that come with the plant. and when they do go to seed, the plant gets super huge delivering pound after pound of leafy greens. similar things happen to lettuce and many other greens. and if you take the time to identify all the weeds growing, you'll notice that many of them are edible and can be added to the garden salad. the beets whose heads never developed properly, still have lots of green growth on top. and those french sorrel plants, once properly rooted will be hard to get rid of and you'll have pounds of leafy greens. Just keep growing and you'll see.

I've experienced this myself. Most of the year, i have waaayy too many leafy greens (much of it from failed brassicas, various weeds - which by the way are very nutritious) than i know what to do with and harvest at least 1/2 lb per day.
I hadn't heard of Devbox before, so thanks for sharing
Rust is a very ungrateful language if you're not trying to solve Rust-like problems.

Go has the quality, like Python, of being passable even if you're indifferent.

Go is a "less spicy Java", and Java isn't even spicy.

(Also, I code Rust for a living, and I absolutely love it, but I understand why others might not.)
Do not buy Crazy Taxi from Steam. It has broken input (analogue controls are really digital without fan patches), and does not play the original audio.
> The Defense Department’s IL6 is reserved for systems containing data that’s deemed critical to national security and requiring “maximum protection” against unauthorized access and tampering. Information in IL6 systems can be up to “secret” level — one step below top secret.

Is the thinking here that they’ll use it to read and somehow act (warnings systems, notifications) on highly classified information that can’t be disseminated? I don’t have a good grasp of what this looks like.
Yes this is trading dev complexity for operations complexity.
My guess is licensing, they probably sold exclusive licenses, and part of that is delisting on other platforms.

I'm gonna hijack this thread to promote sleep apnea machines... if you are tired and you say "well I'm just getting older...", that might not be what's happening:

Are you arguing there was a war in which firebombing would have been useful but someone decided it was too mean?

Since WWII we invented better high explosives and stand-off precision weapons. If there were a strategic case for firebombing in a future war, have no delusions: it will happen. (Last year, incendiary weapons were used in “ in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Ukraine, and Syria” [1].)

> Somebody really should write a microkernel like this in Rust.

I wonder how far Redox's microkernel design is from what that comment describes.
Similar. 2 kids, 2 cargo e-bikes, 1 car. My wife has over 3k miles and I'm just under 2k (I work from home every day). We live in Colorado and bundle the kids up in ski clothes, and some nice buffs and hats and they do just fine for rides to school in the winter (if the roads are ok).

With the plethora of bike trails and neighborhood routes, I'm nearly as fast as a car getting around without going overboard on pedal assist (I do about 18 mph).
Generally, as in this case, a lot of the R&D comes from academia, and from the open source community. For-profit companies aren't very good at stuff that's far out, so they generally free-ride on open-source efforts like Linux, Python, the Web, and RepRap.

For under $50 you can get “shredded memory foam” which IMO is even better than full memory foam. It’s basically recycled memory foam, shredded and stuffed into a pillow case. You can remove some of it to get the right level of firmness.

Just to be clear, hub collisions are a layer 2 problem, and nothing at layer 3 (IPv4/IPv6) can fix it.

This sounds like RAG and also that you’re building an index? Did you just mean that you’re not using vector search over embeddings for the retrieval part, or have I missed something fundamental here?

- A wet shaving kit! You can buy a good double edge safety razor, a shaving brush, and excellent shaving blades for under $100. I made the switch after growing tired of my Gillette setup. I used to think shaving was a chore, and well, I still do, but it's a lot more pleasant now. As a bonus, my shaves are a lot closer.

Under $1000
- A good espresso setup! I bought Breville Bambino Plus, DF64 Gen 2 grinder and some auxiliary tools for under $1000 this year and it's been a game changer. I can make better-than-Starbucks coffee for a fraction of a price. I did the math, and making my own espresso/latte/cortado is 3x cheaper then buying it from Starbucks. Oh, and it's much tastier.
Back before 2004, QNX could have still been relevant as there was still a lot of OS experimentation from the user/developer themsevels. They could have attracted enough people to carve a niche even in the desktop space at that time.

After beos failed, I played/developed with QNX until they pulled the rug. I was on it full time on my main dev machine. I loved it.

When they closed it I got severely burned to the point that I will not touch a any closed development platform. I see from the license they didn't change a bit.

Not that it matters anymore.. they're largely irrelevant today except for whatever existing markets they already have. It would be fooling to choose QNX today: we now have good alternatives, and all of them with open licenses.

Under $1000: A Playdate[0] for $200! It got me to finally make a game[1], which is the entire reason I got into programming yet kept putting off. The restrictions of actual hardware with a slow processor, 1 bit graphics, and 16MB of RAM forced me to scale down the decisions that gave me paralysis previously and prevented me from making anything substantial.

Plus other people’s games are downright fun to play, and it’s probably the most fun I’ve had since the Nintendo DS.

I've gone from follow-me to cargo e-bike (above €1000). The axis of the follow-me somehow broke in coldish weather, and we almost had an accident. Never again.

But the cargo e-bike is fantastic. I've basically stopped using the bus, and everything under 30km with the kid has become no-brainer easy. I've done 1200km in 6 months now. But winter is coming, let's see how it goes.

That is a reductio ad absurdum...

I think I understand your point. Actually, it's a good point.I may have missed it before.

Nobody said that consuming foreign controlled media is prohibited. And banning TT isn't about that. It's about Foreigner Interference.

You said that it's foreigner media not interference. The difference is that media are verifiable and can be checked by anybody and everybody has the same information. That is not the case for social media.

The problem is for another country to be able to do mass manipulation. Like the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica manipulation scandal, where they push some "ideas" to a very specific population because the data they collected show that you will act or think in a certain way. Since when you consume media you don't know they do it AND nobody can prove they do it, it's now manipulative and so interference (can also be done over a long period, such as several months or years, to gradually modify your point of view and be less detectable).

If there was a message saying “We recommend this video because we think you'll react like XXX”, I might consider that ethical (there are other problems too, but that's a theoretical example).

You might say that people in the US (or any other country) still have the right to consume foreign-controlled social media because they know they can be manipulated. Even if I agree, I think it's normal that the state make it difficult to do so. I won't blame people who use opium but I will definitively blame the USA people (or state from any country, here it's USA) for facilitating opium use.

You might say also that the manipulation can be from within the USA (like with Cambridge Analytica), it's true. That is definitively a good point. And to defend the ban of TT, I will say that I don't have a perfect solution. I don't like the ban of TT either, but it was necessary because of the risk of mass manipulation. We have to come up with a better solution (that we don't have now). Because it may happen soon on X or Youtube and we can't ban every social media we suspect will do mass manipulation on the sly.

I hope you get my point because I think that is necessary for us to do so to come up with a better solution. One that will integrate your POV because it's entirely justifiable.
It's only at 72% right now.
If you did, it's not very clear.

The OP to which you replied didn't say that coal is more radioactive than spent nuclear fuel; but that radioactive waste's volume is much smaller than the fly ash produced by a single coal plant in a decade.

Is fly ash per kg more radioactive than nuclear waste? No. But you did acknowledge that the coal plant emits its waste into the atmosphere, unlike a fission plant, which I think is the more relevant point.
>it's a matter of if that's ok or not.

Right. This isn't a novel issue. We already have codified, lawful killing in numerous situations.

Nobody has to agree on the morality of it. You can claim and believe that your definition is correct, and someone else can equally claim and believe a different position. But an internally consistent position that all can acknowledge is that there are laws the govern killing. (It's noteworthy that these generally are the purview of individual states.)

FWIW I don't find that I'm losing good engineering habits/thought processes. Codebuff is not at the stage where I'm comfortable accepting its work without reviewing, so I catch bugs it introduces or edge cases it's missed. The main difference for me is the speed at which I can build now. Instead of fussing over exact syntax or which package does what, I can keep my focus on the broader implications of a particular architecture or nuances of components, etc.

I will admit, however, that my context switching has increased a ton, and that's probably not great. I often tell Codebuff to do something, inevitably get distracted with something else, and then come back later barely remembering the original task

Somewhat related is Betteridge's law of headlines:

> Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no. It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

I like to swap out any of these maybe-headlines with the exact opposite. It may help us, or it may not.

From the article:

> Just five minutes of activity a day was estimated to potentially reduce blood pressure, while replacing sedentary behaviours with 20-27 minutes of exercise per day, including uphill walking, stair-climbing, running and cycling, was also estimated to lead to a clinically meaningful reduction in blood pressure.

Sounds like 5 minutes of exercise is where it has a statistically significant measurable impact in blood pressure, but 20-27 minutes is where it's a meaningful impact.
I really dislike SCP. What does it help that the better bits float to the top, if its whole gimmick is to fit any horror trope into a framework of "containment", description through secret files, etc.? I can't think of a more boring way to tell a horror story than through a catalog of cliches.

The worst is they try to shoehorn anything else remotely scary into their cliche framework, including liminal spaces/the backrooms. I wish SCP fans would stop trying to spread their "gospel" to every other community online.

(And yes, I'm sure there's an SCP thing where SCP fans are the ones "breaking containment" already.)

RAG is a search step in an attempt to put relevant context into a prompt before performing inference. You are “augmenting” the prompt by “retrieving” information from a data set before giving it to an LLM to “generate” a response. The data set may be the internet, or a code base, or text files. The typical examples online uses an embedding model and a vector database for the search step, but doing a web query before inference is also RAG. Perplexity.ai is a RAG (but fairly good quality). I would argue that Codebuff’s directory tree search to find relevant files is a search step. It’s not the same as a similarity search on vector embeddings, and it’s not PageRank, but it is a search step.

Things that aren’t RAG, but are also ways to get a LLM to “know” things that it didn’t know prior:

1. Fine-tuning with your custom training data, since it modifies the model weights instead of adding context.
2. LoRA with your custom training data, since it adds a few layers on top of a foundation model.
3. Stuffing all your context into the prompt, since there is no search step being performed.
I think the markets are just happy that it was a decisive outcome, so there's no risk of extended confusion and uncertainty, a J6-style uprising, or worse. If Harris had won decisively there would also have been a bounce.

For hot drinks (teas, coffee & etc) I prefer a simple 0.7l thermos and small chinese teacup. Put the hot stuff in the thermos it will stay hot for at least 6 hours, put a bit of the hot stuff in the cup, since it's small it will get to a comfortable level of hotness in 30 seconds.

It's not quite that simple, it's if you have a relationship with the seller of the product that the average viewer(tm) would not expect. So, e.g. product placement on daytime TV or quiz shows doesn't require disclosure, because the regulators/courts have decided that's what the average viewer would expect anyway. But anything on social media does require it, it seems. I think produce placement in LLM chatbots would probably qualify as unexpected, though.
They are doing e.g. transcriptions live as the stream happens, not writing a file and batch processing later.
