> use feet worldwide, to be fair

Many CIS countries and China use metre flight levels[1] and kilometres per hour for indicated speed reporting. Additionally, the ICAO has recommended transiting to metre flight levels since 1979[2]. More additionally, the Airbus A300 had flight levels initially set up to be metric (obviously, since it was an effort spearheaded by the French), but to appeal to American airlines the Airbus consortium switched to feet. Although I am positive that Airbus engineers work exclusively in SI.

METARs worldwide except in North America use SI units for reporting weather.

What you are looking for is a Ricoh GR III or IIIx [0] (same camera, different fixed lens focal length). It's super pocketable, and you can turn the screen off completely, although it doesn't have a viewfinder, so with the screen off you can't really know what you are framing - it could be fun to try and guess after getting the hang of it.
Image quality would be much better even than the latest flagship phones.
Finally, you can browse the images on the camera afterwards and wirelessly transmit the ones you want to edit/post to your phone/tablet/computer. You can also have presets for color filters and highlight/shadow tones, so you don't really need to edit in post if you prefer.
It's truly a great little camera, and the price is not that bad (usually around $1000, but can be found for less, or you could go with the previous model, GR II).

And that's the flaw of the open source business model.

You develop something for free, make it available to everyone for free, allow them to modify use and misuse as they wish. Every single step is your conscious decision.

And then, you beg for donations, and complain that people are not donating?

Doesn't make sense. If you don't want to work for free, just charge for it.
For you personally, which is more important, the economic problems that come with this with having to re-source these materials from somewhere else, or the byproduct of (we assume) the US having less slave labor in its supply chain?

I can see both sides. If we keep using slaves to produce materials that lessen our dependence non-renewables and help save us from a climate disaster, then maybe it's a question of perfect being the enemy of the good?

On the other hand if we continue to rely on slave labor to get us these resources, then will we remain dependent on slave labor? Will we be endorsing slave labor, and by doing so help expand its use around the world?

Or maybe, given our current record with slave labor in the U.S. [1] is this all just hand waving anyway? IOW if we use slaves, why should we complain if our economic partners do?

> "The current trend of rewriting everything in Rust is out of control and misguided... EDIT: lcamtuf does a great job explaining my perspective on Rust push https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/a-reactionary-take-on-memory-... "

The current trend is people rewriting Unix command line utilities in Rust, as a hobby. Nobody is rewriting Adobe PhotoShop or Oracle in Rust.

Can you name some projects which you class as "out of control"?

[I don't use Rust, so this isn't "you should RiiR". Adobe isn't rewriting photoshop in Rust because of some Twitter/tech news hype. And if Adobe is rewriting Photoshop in Rust over the coming decades because of government guidance, is that really "out of control"?]
I think that's because the Internet sucks, and LLMs are trained on that crap. For example, I notice that almost every time a professional female comedian posts anything on social media, the comments are filled with guys saying "that's not funny" or "no women are funny", even for women who regularly sell out large venues on their tours. If you inject all that as training data of course your model is going to "believe" the same thing.
I was thinking about the error message comparison and for me that difference expresses succinctly why I have little interest in using Haskell. Indeed, I have actually started viewing any language with long, detailed and subtle error messages as a red flag. These types of error messages indicate to me that the compiler is trying to do too much and the language would benefit from simplification, especially with respect to trying to infer the programmer's unstated intentions. It of course feels magical when the compiler can infer everything for you, but increasingly I see this as black magic.

Amazing that they wrote this wonderful, detailed rant without mentioning Windows at all. VMS was certainly not the most popular OS or even most popular non-UNIX OS.

I mean, this is 1993 and they did mention DOS. But reading this, you would not know that most of those DOS machines were running Windows and that they were far, far more numerous than either UNIX or VMS. And Windows NT was already released when that was written.

Not that I am a Microsoft apologist. My main machine was OS/2 back then, I was already using Linux, and ( if I had the money ) NeXTstep would have been my dream platform.
How is a "PR comments" commit useful to you? If I'm looking at history, it's usually to see:
1. What caused a bug
2. Context around a feature and why it was written a certain way

Seeing a "PR comments" commit just turns into noise. It also makes me gather 10 commits together to try to piece back together the unit of work that was built. I just see no value in preserving this type of noise.
It’s the Guardian. Doubling down is expected, although not advised.
> the businesses should however offer it and pay whatever that costs

So, in other words, you're in favor of a minor tax on those worse off than you, with poor credit score or otherwise can't get a credit card, so that you don't have to think about how your credit card company is ripping the merchant off.

If the business doesn't write that "3% for credit card users" down, and 90% of their customers use credit cards, their logical next step is to instead increase the price of all items by 2.7%, which lets you save a minor amount of money by screwing over those who are worse off.

If you just actively want to worsen the life of poorer people for your own benefit, well, I guess you're at least on the right site for it. May I recommend applying for the YC spring batch.

I like reading these articles.

Yet so often I have these thoughts that (feel free to replace react with anything):

- Yeah why was that in react anyway?

- Is the fact that the project grew into a mess a react thing or just typical project is developed over time and turns into a mess because humans.

- Are these problems "react" problems or ... choices?

- Is the new system better fundamentally, or better because everything got re-written after the fact / all the lessons learned were applied to it from the start?

Sometimes there are answers in the articles, sometimes not.

True, but if you lived forever that would mean that it wouldn't be realistic for new people to come into the world, which means far fewer new ideas and ways of looking at the world. That would a net loss for humanity.
Have you looked at FolioHD? It's geared towards photographers and artistic types that want a really nice portfolio website.

No, they aren't rigged to explode. And no, the Taiwanese won't burn their island to the ground.

So much propaganda.
In a typical wargame special case rules are numerous, but mostly expected and conforming to familiar design patterns (e.g. entering a map hexagon containing something special with a unit, depending on unit type and state, is going to cost some extra point of movement or end the move completely).
So they and can be looked up when needed (e.g. what units can move enough to cross this river this turn?) and promptly forgotten.
It is usually enough to study wargame rulebooks just enough to know general procedures and trust the simulation to be unsurprisingly realistic.
Before 2008 or so a 35mm SLR has higher quality photos for the price if you weren’t taking that many photos and you could still process film all over, with good quality scans if you had the right place. When DSLRs hit 10+ MP and dropped to $700 or so that changed things a bit.

My X100 still has better photos than my iPhone 12. I have an iPhone 16 Pro and I think it’s better as a camera than the X100 but I still prefer the X100 when I want a shot and I will put the time into it. That is 13 years old. I also have a canon S95 and it was still more useful for photos than my iPhone 12 was.
>But it seems to me that all the computational power of smartphones does not quite compensate for the smaller optics. Or that they are trying too hard to make the pictures look spectacular.

It seems like if you have the latest top tier phone: iphone, pixel, samsung s, etc., you get decent photos, if you have any of the 2nd tier phones, they all continue to suck no matter how many mp they claim to have or whatever optics they claim to have.
As a neuroscientist working on brain computer interfaces, it's painfully clear to me that we are absolutely nowhere close to understanding the full complexity of the human brain in a manner required to simulate or reboot someone's consciousness. It's not even clear yet what level of abstraction is required. Do we need to map all of the synapses to get a connection graph, or do we need to map all synapses plus the synaptic proteins to assign connection weights too? This is ignoring other types of connections like gap junctions between cells, ephaptic coupling (the influence of local electric fields on neurons firing), mapping neuormodulator release, etc. On one hand, it feels like irreduceable complexity. On the other hand, however, you can lose about half of your neurons to neurodegenerative diseases before you start noticing a behavioral effect, so clearly not every single details is required to simulate your consciousness. It would be a MAJOR leap forward in neuroscience to even understand what level of abstraction is necessary and which biological details are essential vs. which can be summarized succinctly.

Anyone claiming to take your brain and slice it up and have a working model right now is currently selling snake oil. It's not impossible, but neuroscience has to progress a ways before this is a reasonable proposition. The alternative is to take the brain and preserve it, but even a frozen or perfused brain may have degraded in ways that would make it hard to recover important aspects that we don't yet understand.

It is, however, fascinating to do the research required to answer these questions, and that should be funded and continue, even if just to understand the underlying biology.
Why is this rent seeking? It seems like a reasonable service for their target audience, an easy way to create online portfolio. Reselling domains to be used with a portfolio is just an additional service which makes perfect sense in this case.

Ultimately, I am going to quote one of my favorite writers [0] and say that I am not afraid of a life that ends.

I don't want to be a brain in a jar. Or in a computer either. I enjoy experiencing physical sensations and interacting with the world in meatspace. And if I can't enjoy either, then just let me die.

And I apply this to not just brain preservation, but any attempt to artificially prolong the quantity of my life at the expense of the quality of my life. I do not want to spend my last years in a hospital bed hooked up to machines and unable to move. That was how my dad died, and even then he was lucky enough his partner (who he had discussed this with before and who had the authority to make the decision) eventually agreed to switch him to palliative care in his final hours. Similarly, I have seen what chemotherapy does to people, and I have long since decided that if I ever get cancer, I will refuse chemo and let myself die. I am also having a living will drawn up that includes a DNR order, multiple scenarios where doctors will be ordered to pull the plug, and a prohibition against anyone amputating any of my limbs or sensory organs even if it's necessary to save my life.

I will make sure I die with my autonomy and my dignity intact.

There’s not usually much space between consensus Western opinion (when there is one) and AP editorial stance, so if they think he’s a loon, it’s safe to assume most in the West will too. “Unsympathetic towards” does not mean “biased against”
I guess what I was getting at (and I'll acknowledge that I didn't word it as well as I should), is something along the lines of: "what if automating art is a necessary step if we want to automate the boring stuff?"
I meant "life" in the big picture, not on the individual level.
Unfortunately, the upcoming SE 4 appears to have a 6.1 inch screen.

I feel like this article is more of a "Here's all the things I think about perfect pitch and my journey with music"

Maybe I took the title too literally.

As someone who wants to gain perfect pitch (and still feels mildly distant from this ability) one thing I can say has been the most helpful:

* Get a string instrument

* Strum the strings

* Try to tune the first string by ear

* Once you think you have it, check it against a chromatic tuner.

This way will you see how progressively your feeling of "in tune" can be measured in hertz.

I can get pretty pretty close (within about 5hz).

I used to have competitions with my children on who could get the note closest without a tuner. One of my kids got pretty good where they could almost nail it within 1 hz. It made things fun and a little less "maintenance".

The best way I can describe the process is you have a sensitivity to a threshold of being in tune. I hear the note but there is something inside myself, it almost feels like anxiousness that kinda peaks right before I hit the note and then stops when I "feel" I've hit that note I'm aiming for. As I've said, I can get within about 5hz which to a musician they can probably notice it is off but for the average ear, it feels muddy but close.

Long story short, practice with a tuner and within a year you'll surprise yourself.
Pax Americana is about the American military and economic dominance over other nations.

> the world has never been a more peaceful place

That isn’t written anywhere in the article you linked, and is provably false. Many places in the Middle East, Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia have been either invaded by, ignored by, or coup’d by the US during Pax Americana.

It’s only “peaceful” for US & Friends because a lot of people are dying by American bullets in other places.
I was imagining a few limitations to help with consistency: all scenes have the same number of edges (say, 10) ensuring there's a limited set of scenes you can navigate to from the current one and previously generated scenes can get reused, and no flying, that way we can only worry about generating prism-shaped rooms with a single ceiling and floor edge.

I suppose this is the easy part, actually; for me the real trouble might be collision based on the non-deterministic thing that was generated, i.e. how to decide which scene edges the player should be able to travel through, interact with, be stopped by, burned by, etc.
You might as well complain about the name of the World Cup, since it’s also only teams from Earth.
Veo and Imagen 3: Announcing new video and image generation models on Vertex AI
Cameras imbue a grain onto what they shoot, both in the physical sense of grain in analogue cameras and the digital grain of the iPhone camera (The technical high quality but AI smearyness and color grade of modern iPhones is it's own grain) and that iPhone grain is now the aesthetic of almost all social media content so anything filmed in it has the same feeling as every janky social media video shot with it.

If you're creating art and easy route to differentiate and not feel like everything else in the timeline is to use an entirely different "grain" and you'll stand out from the mass.

It's not as simple as "old stuff better" it's more "other stuff feels different".

I'll agree that AI has flooded the internet with low-effort slop. I feel like I can make a pretty strong argument that this isn't new, low-effort SEO spam has been a thing for almost as long as search engines have, but it does seem like ChatGPT (and its ilk) has brought that to 11.

> just because something _can_ be automated doesn't mean it _should_ be.

I guess agree to disagree on that. If a machine can do something better that a human, then the machine should do it so that the human can focus on stuff that machines can't do as easily.
It is also reasonable for one human being to fully understand a piece of the "older tech". Modern stuff is often just a black box, even to the people designing parts of it because they only work on a single part.
