This is wonderful.

But then I read it, and they call it stupid. And then I think, oh… I think I will move on. How boring am I. And why put it up on YouTube - so many videos - given you can’t legitimately download all the videos (unless I am mistaken?) I mean you are investing so much of other people time with this, you think you might offer up an alternative own system in return… how boring I am.
You're not wrong. But at the same time, I feel like a patent is roughly the only thing that could stop a wealthy international corporation from just copying my new product and then out-competing me with their generous marketing budget. If the expected payout is large enough, a patent will then also help me find a law firm who's willing to work purely on commission, meaning it causes one of those rare instances where I might be able to meet an international corp at eye level, even if I'm a solo inventor.

I remember the excitement of scoring a surplus Cisco asa 5505 for a reasonable price and immediately cracking it open to see what was inside. To my amazement - the cpu had an AMD logo! I went down the rabbit hole of finding out what this mysterious chip was and turns out it was one of the cyrix/via/amd Geode SoCs mentioned by the writer.
Right. But what I mean is if the final evaluation will require an in-person discussion, then couldn't we skip the text generation step, and just have the discussion? Homework as a tool to make students think needs to be drastically different, since students will always find loopholes to avoid it, and we can't evaluate it in isolation anymore (i.e. a teacher can no longer grade it on its own).

Doing live discussions obviously requires much more time and effort, but it is also much more engaging than doing homework, so the chance of actually learning something is higher.

There's also an argument to be made that homework in general isn't conducive to learning, and that education should take place primarily in schools. When you consider how much future generations will rely on AI in their everyday lives, this argument becomes even more compelling.

So I think this is our chance to drastically change how we think about education, rather than try to shoehorn a groundbreaking technology into our outdated methodologies.
In that most advanced circuit where are two diode drops against the BE junction of the transistor, you almost certainly want silicon diodes to go with the silicon transistor. The diode type is not otherwise critical. Other than that, I don't see any transistor biasing that depends on a detailed model of the germanium transistor.
There was a time before income tax… and there maybe a future without income tax. Or you can think of income tax as profit sharing with everyone’s required partner big brother. Remember corporate tax and payroll taxes are flat. the progressive part of income tax is really more targeted at consumption. so it’s really more of a progressive consumption tax. It’s easy to arrange a delay in taxes if you don’t need to consume, and are willing to run a business.
FWIW I wouldn't call XOR... encryption
I'm always stumped by comments like this. I'm at a point where ~70% of my code is AI-written, and the majority of the remaining is mostly because it would take too much time to provide enough context to the tool/LLM of choice for it to be able to produce the code I need.

Given the right context and the right choice of model/tools, I think ~90-95% of the code I write could be generated. And this is not for doing trivial CRUD; I work on a production app with 8 other people.

I'm really curious if you could give examples of problems that you tried and failed to use these tools for?
In code that typically runs in on e process, that's a plausible interpretation.

Exactly this. In many work places, you can't say you vote for Trump. Many Democrats visibly say something along the line of "if you vote for Trump, you are dead to me", and these are your colleagues.

I don't know whether a poll is anonymous. The poll has no impact on my life. I'll either lie to be safe or just don't take the poll at all.

Thanks for making this in the first place! I saw IronCalc in the list

By the way, if You don't mind me asking, how'd Tuta end up sponsoring
IronCalc? It seems that lately they and Proton have been trying to
expand their business away from just email. The fact that Tuta is
interested in IronCalc makes me think they want to have an office-like
offering.

Can't take this seriously when Trump barely got more votes this time around than he did last time. There has been no loss of young men. People are broadly feeling disenfranchised, and that's why the Democrats lost. If anything, this is a broad rebuke of liberalism without endorsement of the prevailing alternative.
"No, Netflix/Max/Etc literally limit the options available to you. They want to try to dissuade people from purchasing those services at a discount in lower CoL regions, and don't want to deal with multi-region licensing for dubs/specific media/etc."

Have you actually tried to do what I have described? If you want to test, try with a studio Ghibli movie on Netflix, they have dubs and subs for a lot of languages.
On a regular day, you would be called racists and evils.

You can try an experiment where you say out loud that you vote for Trump in your work place, and you can see how it goes.

People support Democrats visibly at their workplaces, and that is totally fine. But if you support Republicans visibly, you will have a lot of issues at work.

So, if a poller asks you who you would vote for, you would not risk it. You would just say Dems or just avoid the poll altogether.
>Ticketmaster’s Terms state they may be changed without notice and changes apply retroactively.

The use of passive voice in "may be changed" leaves open the opportunity for you, the end user, to change the terms in your favor. Just open the browser's web dev tools and change the source. Don't forget to print a copy for your records; you're probably going to need it when you bring the case to court. Or just print their original terms, cross out the offending ones, and amend to your satisfaction.

Heck, even without implied permission to change the terms, I see this as no different from somebody offering you a contract which you can alter to suit your needs, then submit back to them with your proposed changes.

The compute differential between an H100 and a 4090 is not huge. The main single GPU benefits are larger memory (and thus memory bandwidth) and native fp8. But these matter less for diffusion models.
Russian here. Speaking of Dugin, I'm not a fan of his ideas about archaic way of living, and I don't personally know anyone who likes them. I consider him to be a hypocrite who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk – unlike German Sterligov, who actually lives in a village without modern technology that he founded and built.

However, there's a sad fact about Dugin. He experienced a personal tragedy – his adult daughter was murdered, likely for political reasons. So, while I'm not a supporter of his ideas, I can never judge him for these ideas considering what he went through. Maybe advocating for these ideas is his way of surviving his tragedy.
"I'm 100% sure I've watched shows in the past on Netflix where if I use a VPN to set my location to Sweden, I could get English or Swedish subtitles, but if I use it without VPN (so Spanish location), it would refuse to allow me the English subtitles and instead allows Spanish or Swedish subtitles.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable knows exactly why that is."

If you are in Sweden Netflix algorithms give you Swedish as a language option. But you can add this in your profile as well when you are not in Sweden.
My dad built our first windows 95 computer using a Cyrix chip. I can only assume it was a 6x86 from reading this article.

We had so many issues with it that we eventually replaced it with an intel-based HP. But in those days we were upgrading from 133MHz to 350MHz in the span of about a year and a half (ca. 1997).

By the time I built my first computer in college, the Athlon XP was breaching 1GHz, triple the clock speed in another 3 years time.

Fast times with “slow” computers. But it was sure fun to feel these major leaps in computing practically every year.
It depends on your goals. In something like bolt (a vector quantization algorithm), it's provably the right choice (and with other preferred error measures for your quantization, analogous measures on kmeans are still the right choice).
If AI doesn't understand something I assume it's too clever, even if I do get the AI to figure it out I won't understand it in a month and other devs won't understand it at all unless I somehow convince them to read the code(Like as if that's going to happen!).

I think it's definitely improved my own code, because it's like always working with a pair programmer, who represents a very average developer with insane typing speed. I think you kind of subconscious pick up the style like you would learn a literary style by reading books.

With Codeium what usually works is writing a prompt inline as a very descriptive comment.

}

> but traumas ("energetic"/psychological wounds) remain fresh as the day they happened and influence us in immeasurable ways.

I experienced this in two occasions. First, when I was going to therapy, and somehow managed to reach these traumas, the second is in deep meditation, which Japanese call "meeting with the ghosts".

Traumas stay fresh until you face them again, and acknowledge them. The moment you accept that they have happened, you have the chance to heal them.

This doesn't mean the process is smooth, painless or easy. It's neither, but it's very possible.

> If anything, this is a broad rebuke of liberalism without endorsement of the prevailing alternative.

I think it was the opposite. If it were a "broad" rebuke of liberalism, Trump would have gotten far more votes than he did.

It was if anything a rebuke by Democrats of Harris positioning to the right in order to cater to Conservative swing voters, and not being liberal enough. All she had to do was come out strongly against Israel's genocide in Gaza, but she literally said she agreed entirely with policy, and wanted to include Trump staffers in her cabinet.

Except, of course, no one in the Trump camp was ever going to vote for her, so that effort was futile. All she accomplished was alienating her own base.
Sorry, I mixed up a few topics here:

- Moved everything to a VPS - way better value for money. Extra TB of traffic only costs €1-10 with Hetzner/DigitalOcean compared to 400€ with Vercel's old pricing.

- Put Cloudflare in front - gives me an extra layer of control (if I ever need it)

- Built a proper REST API - now there's an official way to use the converter programmatically

- Made email registration mandatory for API keys - lets me reach out before having to block anyone

That other server was probably running a scraper and then converting the html-websites to markdown. After about 2 weeks they noticed that I was just returning garbage and it stopped :)

I remember when Gardasil was first introduced and the related controversy. I believe there were questions about its safety because at first it was targeted at 12 year old females. At one point the Japanese Ministry of Health suspended the vaccine and then later resumed it.

For me the explanation of how this vaccine works still confuses me. For example while older people are advised to get Shringix to mitigate the consequences of a reactivated chickenpox virus. Older are advised not to get Gardasil because once you get HPV, the vaccine is ineffective?

The problem is that USA twice messed with Ukraine sovereignty, first in 2004, and then in 2014 turned this country to a proxy, puppet state, bulwark against Russia. And that's why this war started, because Russia can not allow Ukraine to be turned into a hostile state, ideologically driven by hatred towards Russia and Russians and manipulated by NATO, with bases on its territory.

It seems you may not appreciate the extent to which the sources you're getting these narratives from may be woefully uninformed, and/or simply lying to you.

None of this "puppet state" stuff, or the descriptions of events in 2004/2014 that you're echoing here has any connection to reality. If the Ukrainian government were simply a "puppet" of the United States, then it would have evacuated from Kyiv after the 2022 invasion just like the former was advising it to do. But it did the complete opposite, instead.

If it gets replaced by Joe Rogan, then no it isn't an improvement.

Maybe I qualify that if TV news in its current form gets replaced by Joe Rogan. It is basically a wash. But the death of print media is really an awful awful thing, because that's where the death comes from, that is what is served to be the historical record in recent times.

You also gain more misinformation in 10 minutes of Joe Rogan experience than in many other forms. The guy has not met a conspiracy theory that he doesn't love. And he clearly cares above clicks over truth.

CNN isn't much better, but they at least have a journalist standard they have to theoretically align to.

Now if you're going to call MSNBC and Fox News mainstream media, well that's a big problem.
Every day, something like 100 cells in your body become cancerous, but your immune system shoots them down before they can cause any harm. This is effectively a general prophylactic for cancer, so it's not unreasonable to think that we could discover a general cure for cancer (and that something immunotherapy is a promising candidate).
"Like the names of muscle and bones"

Yeah, and veins and bodies, a lot of them.

But that's just 1 subject, anatomy. Pretty sure there's other useful subjects. And there's also the benefits not from the actual knowledge gained, but by the ability to learn higher order subjects, since they may have dependencies, you can probably orient learning towards the parts of the body affected.

The nurse idea is pretty good. Same with imaging technician. I'd venture a guess that there's a lot of year 1 and year 2 subjects that would be equivalent.
Imagine you had a team of 10 average (not bad, but also not great) software engineers for a year. Choose between:

* Get them to implement the kubernetes ssd/disk attachment plugin for the Adobe cloud offering.

* Get them to implement the remote access, scheduling and status control of a biochemistry centrifugue.

Both missions are boring, and neither will change much how whe world runs.

Well, I lied. Because of incentives, it is actually choosing between 15 decent engineers for the Adobe cloud or 1-2 cheap & bad engineers for the centrifugue (I have worked in embedded, I know software is an afterthought in that industry).

And now let's make it more personal: would you rather work for Adobe cloud for 135k per year, or for Centrifugues R Us for 85k per year? Would your spouse agree with your decision, especially after your 3 year old decided to grab and throw the TV to the floor?

Don’t distract this thread with a shit tier “Uber sux” analysis.

Cabs were completely unusable in most cities before Uber unless you were staying at a hotel where they hung out. They also paid their drivers as poorly as Uber does and the benefit just went to the owner instead of Uber. It’s not like cabbies were specially trained.

Taxis were more expensive because they were so fucking shitty that the 5 fares a day a car would get had to cover the expenses.

>leaving the town with zero practical transport options.

Again, taxis were not practical before. It was more reliable to beg strangers at a bar for a ride home than to get a cab to show up in the 90s.

There is a lot to unpack on those threads but of the top of my head:
1. Clear separation between UX/backend
Done by design in IronCalc. It is first a spreadsheet engine.

2. Multi language support, language connectivity, enhanced data types, ...

You might very well be right, but out first step is to be as close to Excel as possible. We are ~ 1 year away from being formula compatible in a reasonable way. Once we are there we can do better in different directions.
I think strict typing might be very beneficial for spreadsheets engines. Anything you can do to reduce errors and human mistakes.

I strongly believe that having a competitive spreadsheet engine fully open source might be a good first step in extending and improving Excel.

The function for asterisks and slashes is called from the functions for pluses and minuses. The result is that asterisks and slashes are evaluated before pluses and minuses. It's actually very easy to understand once you get the idea.

It would be correct to view this as the cost of RAM/SSD being ridiculously inflated.

Here's another angle. Think about how much value Apple places on 1 new Apple ID vs. 2 new Apple IDs. Each Apple ID is an opportunity for them to get your telemetry data, train an AI models, license software, and sell services. Apple understands that a double-capacity Mac is less likely to produce as much App Store profits as two half capacity Macs. The App Store is the most profitable part of their business.

They've correctly bet that local storage just gets eaten up by personal data rather than additional apps. More apps leads to more bloat, which hurts the user experience. Apple would rather you keep all that data in a cloud. Expensive local storage drives consumers in that direction.

They'd also rather you not own data at all. More and more of what can be consumed is rendered as a service, rented, or licensed on some temporary/conditional basis. Whatever data you really do own gets to go live in iCloud, where they can capitalize on it in some "privacy preserving" way while also charging you for it. You also won't be able to move it out, unless you're in the EU.
There are PADDs showing up regularly in Discovery, BNW, LD, and Picard. IOW, in all of the ST shows since 2005...

In the 13 year hiatus when there was no TV Star Trek, touch phones and tablets became normal. So PADDs were no longer futuristic, and now they're background objects a viewer doesn't even notice. In the case of specific shows, Discovery and Picard are heavily focused on action, so PADDs generally show up less frequently because there are fewer scenes in which it would be natural for them to show up. Contrast to BNW, which is more traditional Star Trek, and the characters are constantly carrying PADDs around. And LD's earlier seasons have several extended gags revolving around PADDs...
