Astro is simple and nice.

I built a github sites blog template for my friends to use that you can run and publish fully in browser. [1] I also use it for my personal blog. [2]

Astro made it simple for someone with little frontend framework experience (me) to get started and build something useful. The site itself only uses javascript for light/dark mode, but even that is optional. What Astro solves for me is best practices for the build step.

Yes.. and no? There's a few distinguishing characteristics. One is the dating-mating process, which will resolve one way or another. Besides (or because of) that we have responsibilities that we take on and spend less time doing what we may otherwise like. I know that I consciously plan periods of time for hobbies, side-projects, or just 'wasting time' on video games etc--but it's not even my available free time (as there's no free energy/mental capacity at times).

There was (a TED talk or something) I watched that was basically said that if we treat adults as we do children, but at the same time treat them with respect, we'll all just learn to understand and work/play together better. (I think it had some sort of simple color stick-graphics depicting people and their motivations.)
Svelte keeps getting mentioned as part of next/nuxt/svelte, but my experience with it has been great. I've used it for projects of varying complexity like a personal blog and a SPA.

I believe much of the complexity fatigue the author described is more related to React and its woes than to frameworks and JavaScript in general. Not that JavaScript doesn't have its own set of problems.

Subverting expectations could be stressful, no? Could expecting nature sounds but getting construction sounds produce different psychological effects than just hearing construction if it is expected?
Pretty useless article, which I should have guessed given they misspelled the name in their title.

> Buying a GPU is also not "investing" in anything.

It is in the (minor) sense that I'd rely on Intel for warranty support, driver updates (if closed source), and firmware fixes.

But I agree with your main point that the worst-case downside isn't that big of a deal.

That's the neat thing, you don't! The very idea of post-tribalism relies on a false narrative. There is an appeal to a mythical past when the Enlightenment was one wonderful big tent and everybody was pursuing the shared project of advancing the knowledge of the human race together. Then those mean and wily post-modernists came and upended the notion of truth. This is all blatantly false. Nobody has ever agreed on anything. As soon as you find a group of people who do agree with you, and there is another group of people who don't, then baby, you've got a tribalism going.

It's a rhetorical move to claim as your heritage some kind of truth that once went unchallenged and is now questioned by people with nefarious purposes. Nothing more.
> When I see a billboard or print ad with e.g. `example.travel`, I read that as a social media handle and not a website address like `example.com` would convey.

This is where I think the new gTLDs registries could do better. Using your domain as a handle on Bluesky is a perfect example of something they could push for to grow the industry, but they seem to think the status quo with a sprinkle of price discrimination is the winning formula.

Most of the new gTLDs work great as domain verified social media handles, but no one is going to use them for that if all the good keywords are classified as premium with $100+ annual renewal fees. However, if you make them too cheap and they get popularized, domain investors will register everything good and try to flip them.

I think first year premium pricing strikes a good balance that doesn't limit novel, non revenue generating use cases too much. Charging $100-200 for the first year causes a very large increase in the amount of capital domain flippers need to invest to acquire a large portfolio of good names.

If Bluesky catches on I think we could hit a point where non-technical people are suddenly shocked when the see someone "using their social media handle for a website." Getting back to having people understand there's more than just Facebook and Twitter would be a step in the right direction IMO, so it would be nice to see Bluesky continue to gain popularity.
I don't know a single person in real life that has any desire to run local LLMs. Even amongst my colleagues and tech friends, not very many use LLMs period. It's still very niche outside AI enthusiasts. GPT is better than anything I can run locally anyway. It's not as popular as you think it is.
Why would you want to go on in a world that has either left you behind or keeps making the same mistakes over and over in a cycle and won't listen to you because you're too old to understand?

And conversely, I think Kim Stanley Robinson puts it best in the Mars trilogy. Scientific progress often has to wait for the old guard to die so new ideas can be tried. Sometimes there are actually new things and they need to be allowed to cook.

China's progress is real, but there are still many things like cutting-edge semiconductors and airplane engines they cannot compete in and thus rely on the West for.

The Chinese leadership is well aware of this and is massively funding efforts to build these indigenously, but they're chasing moving targets and still decades away from catching up.

For ai inference you definitely have other options, but for low end graphics? the lpddr that apple (and nvidia in grace) use would be super expensive to get a comparable bandwidth (think $3+/gb and to get 500GB/sec you need at least 128GB).

And that 500GB/sec is pretty low for a gpu, its like a 4070 but the memory alone would add $500+ to the cost of the inputs, not even counting the advanced packaging (getting those bandwidths out of lpddr needs organic substrate).

It's not that you can't, just when you start doing this it stops being like a graphics card and becomes like a cpu.
The Beginning of the End of Big Tech
From politicians to VC firms, everyone is falling out of love with the massive, money-oriented, global technology titans. In their place, we have the chance to build something open and trustworthy.
On paper any PCIe 2.0 motherboard can receive a BIOS update adding ReBAR support with 2.1, but reality is that you pretty much have to get a PCIe 3.0 motherboard to have any chance of having it or modding it in yourself.

Another issue is that not every GPU actually supports ReBAR, I'm reasonably certain the Nvidia drivers turn it off for some titles, and pretty much the only vendor that reliably wants ReBAR on at all times is Intel Arc.

I also personally wouldn't say that Sandy Bridge is very usable with a modern GPU without also specifying what kind of CPU or GPU. Or context in how it's being used.
From 2014 there's a video link and slides here: https://www.erlang-factory.com/sfbay2014/rick-reed FYI: I've seen comments from after I left that wandist isn't used anymore; I think a lot of what we gained with that was working around issues in pg2 that stem from global locks not scaling... but the new pg doesn't need global locks at all. There was also some things in wandist to work around difficulties communicating between SoftLayer nodes and Facebook nodes, but that was a transitory need. See the 2024 presentation, 40k nodes!

Fairly similar, but smaller numbers in 2012 http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/SFBay2012/speakers/...

The 2013 presentation is focused on MMS which I don't remember if it was as impressive: http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/SFBay2013/speakers/... (note that server side transcoding is from before end to end encryption)

I don't think there were similar presentations on Erlang in the large at WhatsApp after that. Big changes between 2014 and 2019 (when I left) were

a) chat servers started doing a lot more, and clients per server went down on the big SoftLayer boxes

b) hosting moved from SoftLayer to Facebook and much smaller nodes --- also chat servers at SoftLayer were individually addressable, using (augmented) round robin DNS to select, at Facebook the chat servers did not have public addresses, instead everything comes in through load balancers

c) MMS was pretty much offloaded into a Facebook storage service (c++); not because the Erlang wasn't sufficient, but because MMS was loosely coupled with the rest of the service, Facebook had a nice enough storage service, a lot of storage, an awful lot of bandwidth, and it wasn't a lot of work for that team to also support WhatsApp's needs; also our Erlang MMS (and the PHP version before it) was built around storing files on specific, addressable nodes, but nodes at Facebook are much more ephemeral and not easy to directly address by clients

d) some amount of data storage moved off of mnesia into other Facebook data storage technology; again, not because mnesia wasn't sufficient, but more ephemeral nodes makes it cumbersome (addressable) and the available hardware nodes at FB didn't really match --- there's a very firm bias at FB towards using standard node sizes and the available standard nodes were like a web machine with not much ram or a big database machine with more ram and tons of fast storage; WA mnesia wants lots of ram but doesn't need a lot of storage (all data is in ram, and dumped + logged to disk) so there was a mismatch there --- things that stayed in mnesia needed much larger clusters to manage data size

Presentations became less common because of more layers to get approval, and also because it's less fun to share how we built something on top of proprietary layers that others don't really have access to. Anybody could have gotten dual 2690 servers at SoftLayer and run a nice Erlang cluster. Only a few people could run an even bigger chat cluster in a Facebook like hosting environment.
What is this complete alternate reality? I've never seen a single time slop used to refer to AI images, but to refer to garbage mass produced Hollywood/Amazon/Netflix corporations. Bad AI art is called "AI slop". One of the implications are that both are garbage, to the point where you can even wonder which one is worse (it depends on which aspects).

This article somehow does not mention it...

In the article "Talk" section there is this:

>Requested move 3 December 2024

>Slop (artificial intelligence) → AI Slop

>When the term "slop" is used to refer to low-quality AI content it usually is called "AI Slop". Most of the sources this page cites follow this naming convention. Searching for "slop" on the aggregator Google News and Hacker News also show this pattern. I'd estimate 80% of the usage of the term in online circles is "AI Slop", 10% call it "slop" but mention "AI" later in the sentence (in cases like headlines), and 10% just say "slop".
Meta Says It Is Cracking Down on Organized Crime Behind Scam Centers
> ML is about hit another winter.

I agree ML is about to hit (or has likely already hit) some serious constraints compared to breathless predictions of two years ago. I don't think there's anything equivalent to the AI winter on the horizon, though—LLMs even operated by people who have no clue how the underlying mechanism functions are still far more empowered than anything like the primitives of the 80s enabled.
I think growing up isn't when you stop feeling like you're 19, it's the specific point in everybody's life when you realize that nobody else is "more grownup" than you. That you too could be a contributor to this world if only you'd try.

I feel like it was embarrassingly late in life when I stopped thinking that the people running things were smarter, more mature, and just generally better than me. It turns out there are dipshits and geniuses and crooks and saints all the way up and down the whole thing. They are not grownups, they are just the people without imposter syndrome.
Absolutely. However, I have found that a good church is very helpful. Having a set time every week for an hour for everyone to reflect on living in a good and moral way is very useful.

I had been an agnostic for many years, and studied a lot of moral philosophy in college, but I came to realize later in life that many of my deep seated moral intuitions came from church as a kid, and the Christian values I was given by my parents.

There's a big difference between the potential to do something and actually doing it. You can buy an exercise bike for your house, or a bunch of great books but that doesn't make you fit or wise if they just sit there unused. Theoretically all of the materials you need to be a world class physicist are available online, but how many people actually spend years mastering the material without the support of a university? The specific habit of regular reflection and learning, supported by a community, helps turn the theory into practice.

Before dismissing the value of rhetoric, I recommend reading it: http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/rhetoric.html

I'm perfectly serious, it's literally the foundational text on the subject and we still have that text for good reason.

Here's the first paragraph:

> Rhetoric is the counterpart of Dialectic. Both alike are concerned with such things as come, more or less, within the general ken of all men and belong to no definite science. Accordingly all men make use, more or less, of both; for to a certain extent all men attempt to discuss statements and to maintain them, to defend themselves and to attack others. Ordinary people do this either at random or through practice and from acquired habit. Both ways being possible, the subject can plainly be handled systematically, for it is possible to inquire the reason why some speakers succeed through practice and others spontaneously; and every one will at once agree that such an inquiry is the function of an art.

Skia is a widely used library (off the top of my head, Chrome, Firefox, and LibreOffice use it) that supports lots of rendering targets, including WebGPU and ANGLE.
Launching a new SKU for $500-1000 with 48gb of RAM seems like a profitable idea. The GPU isn't top-of-the-line, but the RAM would be unmatched for running a lot of models locally.

I'm not an expert on South Korean constitutional law. But from the parts that others have quoted here, if the legislature declares an end to the martial law, that's the end of the martial law. The military should not then be obeying the president's orders to impose martial law, because the martial law is over.

In the US, military officers take their oaths to obey the constitution, not the president. I don't know if that's true in South Korea.

> To the extent humans fail at cooperation, that's nature at work. When we cooperate, we defy nature.

Well that seems a little silly, no? Humans are social creatures; cooperation is just as natural as any other human behavior (including fallibility). It seems almost a little christian in its doomful profession that humans are only our worst attributes.
I'm baffled that PC gamers have decided that 1440p is the endgame for graphics. When I look at a 27-inch 1440p display, I see pixel edges everywhere. It's right at the edge of losing the visibility of individual pixels, since I can't perceive them at 27-inch 2160p, but not quite there yet for desktop distances.

Time marches on, and I become ever more separated from gaming PC enthusiasts.
The declaration of martial law was already unconstitutional in the part that forbids something that is explicitly mentioned in the constitution (a meeting of the Parliament to request that the president lift the martial law). Which is probably why the members of the Parliament only has minor obstacles towards having their meeting.
Militaries in liberal democracies should protect the constitution, even if that means disobeying the president.

4080 won't do video due to low RAM. The GPU doesn't have to be as fast there, it can be 5x slower which is still way faster than a CPU. And Intel can iterate from there.

Of course. Private ownership itself is just explanation of the historical context, not proof that the right existed.

Having read Heller, the various drafts of the Bill of Rights, and some of the correspondence, I don't think anyone that has done the same can make an honest originalist argument against the private right.

In particular, I think the linguistic argument about militias relies on a neologistic definition that is particularly misleading.

People can make valid living constitution arguments against the second amendment all day and all night, but these seem particularly out of favor. I think this, more than anything else explains the Heller decision in 2008

Plainly to you, but not to me. What isn't obvious to everyone, isn't really obvious. You didn't care to explain what kind of stopping mechanisms are there, that make it not a slippery slope.

Rowan Atkinson gives some nice examples here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUezfuy8Qpc

I'd say rather than there being *a risk* of descending too low on that slippery slope, we already have plenty of evidence this already happened. I'm from Poland and recently a party in ruling coalition proposed criminalizing hate speech on the Internet. Fortunately, precisely the slippery slope rhetoric, supported by evidence from countries like UK, seems to be enough of a backlash to stop politicians from following such ideas.
It was just a glitch, nothing to see here.

Edited, added: But in all seriousness, I might actually believe it has nothing to do with the Rothschilds. I could get it to talk about him and the family. Of course it was not giving any useful info, just that the family is frequent target of conspiracy theories and speculation, and that he is passionate about the environment or some similar BS.

So in a sense, blatant, direct censorship is not needed when all the answers are lame and neutered anyway.
Your reference [1] seems very confused about what it's trying to say and where it's trying to go, at least in terms of linking abortion to white supremacy. In fact, the fight for abortion access is closely tied to white supremacy (see e.g. the eugenics movements of the 1920s and 1930s in the US).
