I disagree. I once had someone say that if you were to smash an iphone into tiny tiny pieces and put it into a plastic bag and shake it, given enough time, it would reassemble itself into a working iphone, the pieces randomly ending up where they need to be in order to operate like it did originally.

While it is technically possible for that to happen, the probability of the intricacies that make up the iphone's circuits and screen, the chemicals that make up the battery, etc, assembling themselves into a complete and working phone, even on an infinite timeline, is not that high. And it could, in theory, never actually happen, since if there is still time that you can move forward into, there's still the chance that the moment the iphone assembles itself into a working phone lies somewhere in the future, and always will. It could just never happen before the heat death of the universe.

Possibility does not guarantee probability.
I'm not apportioning blame just saying that what's happening now is feeding a future of separate societies that probably everyone would rather avoid.

I don't believe the average Swede wanted mass immigration but there were immigration policies in place that were put in place by Sweden's leaders on behalf of its people that weren't questioned until later. You are where you are now - you can't unring a bell. You have to deal with the issues of the future now not the issues of the past

The Dauug | 36 open-source minicomputer for critical infrastructure is the world’s most advanced transparently functioning, fully auditable, user-constructable controller or minicomputer for critical infrastructure. The world’s first computer designed for decades of Internet-connected use without need for a single security patch. Also the first modern architecture (e.g., paged virtual memory, preemptive multitasking, hundreds of opcodes, millions of instructions per second) in decades that contains no purchased complex logic. There isn’t a single microprocessor or anything like one (FPGA, PLD, or ASIC) anywhere in the design.

> As long as someone who does this is prepared to pay for every site they do it on

I've got not problem paying 1/10th of a 1 cent as a microtransaction to read the page and I'll happily do so when that sort of system is available.

> I am unwilling to have 40 different subscriptions to 40 different websites all because every user disabled targeting.

And that's a false dichotomy. The natural alternative to a system where publishers are paid per view by advertisers is a system where publishers are paid per view by users (either directly or via some intermediary), in the same amount as before.
There is absolutely 100% of the same stuff used in the US, just fancier names.

Other countries reduce cost by having the state negotiate instead of many small insurance companies all negotiate separately. This is why other countries get a better deal because they offer a larger base of future sales.
As others have said, the “Performance” section is asinine, because they haven't fully implemented 100% of SQLite. Not disclaiming this obvious fact in the “Performance” section is incredibly misleading.

I could trivially write “an SQLite clone” that could execute `SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 1` even faster than either this or SQLite—if that's the only string I accepted as input!
From the second video: "We can focus on the things that excite us rather than just the maintenancing [maintenance] work".

But these are the kinds of problems that help shape the product. The software archictecture should be a compression of a deep and intuitive understanding of the problem space. How can you develop that knowledge if you're just delegating it to a black box that can't operate at a near-human level?

I've used ai based tools to great success, but on an ad-hoc basis, for specific and small functions or modules. To do the integration part requires an understanding of what abstraction is appropriate where. I don't think these tools are good that.
> websites will need to be able to set their price based on their costs

Most businesses don't really get to do that. They set their price based on what customers are willing to pay. Then they try to keep their variable costs low enough to be profitable, and get enough sales to cover their fixed costs.

> tying someone's economic status to what they can access

An option there is subscriptions for those willing to pay, ads for the rest. Youtube does that, for example (and it's one of the sites I pay).

I don't really want "helpful" ads. I just want to be left alone. I don't want corporations trying to manipulate me, and I don't want distractions from whatever I'm trying to read, because I'm distractible enough as it is. If I want to buy something, I can search for it, and when I do, I don't want to see it everywhere I go for the next month.

You should really add an option to spawn a VM with immutable rootfs, current VMs all have writable rootfs which cost a lot to run, immutable VMs could be much much cheaper to operate (possibly enabling free tiers even).

Also to mention, "suggest knowledge" modal is broken (it silently ignores changes made if you edit the suggested knowledge).

Another issue, sleep&snapshot system is still prone to race conditions in certain cases.
We wrote a zine on System evals for LLM-driven apps. Lots of people building impressive demos with AIs, but to get it working well in production over time (maintainable), you need some kind of system eval. It's like some kind of open secret, since lots of people are still floating on vibes-based engineering and looks-good-to-me@K metrics.

https://forestfriends.tech

Sri and I wrote it as a way to collaborate after doing a podcast together, which made no money. Picked a topic that people seemed to be interested in. Did the whole customer dev thing, and honestly, we were unsure if it'd make any money at all. Representing the AI as a shoggoth is from that meme, and we merely thought juxtaposing it with some furry animals was funny.

But it turns out people like it. It introduces system evals without jargon, and frames how to get started with evals for AI engineers that moved into the space from other kinds of engineering. It feels pretty good when people buy it and say they like it.
Because leading Islamic scholars have decided it's ok. Just like leading Jewish scholars have decided that even the most orthodox Jews can drink fresh water, even though all water everywhere in the world contains microscopic creusteceans. Religions and belief systems don't have to be perfectly logical(not in the "ah gotcha" scope anyway).
...why else do you think it's important to predict hurricane paths and tornado spawning storms and flooding rains and heat waves further ahead of time?
It does seem like this is one of those domains where new AI models could thrive. From my understanding, the amount and variety of data necessary to make these models work is huge. In addition to historical data, you've got constant satellite data, weather stations on the ground for data collection, weather balloons going high into the atmosphere multiple times daily per location, Doppler radars tracking precipitation, data from ships and other devices in the ocean measuring temps and other info, and who knows what else.

It's incredible that we are able to predict anything this far into the future, but the complexity seems like it lends itself to this kind of black box approach.

*This is all speculation, so I'd be grateful if someone more knowledgeable could tell if if I'm mistaken about these assumptions. It's an interesting topic.

I made https://konfig.xyz/ after making about 6500 images for a product configurator. Instead of using images, we use 3d models. Initially quite simple and for use with relatively flat scenes (ie - no tree like structure for options / scenes) but grown over time to sort of support those too.

The main use case are fixed-in-size products that can be customize-able. So colours and materials, but also swapping one object for another, or turning one on or off (imagine rims on a car, or a bow thruster on a boat).

We tried saas’in it completely, but the onboarding is proving to be quite hands-on. So we’ve partnered with a 3d firm that does the 3d work so we can focus ok building software
> Comparing white Americans (a random group of people defined by a subjective criteria, rather than by anything scientific) to a whole European country is random.

“White Americans” is very much not a “random group defined by subjective criteria”. Self-identification as white is extremely highly correlated with objective, measurable metrics like percent of European ancestry, and this also makes US whites directly comparable to population of European countries, which as it happens still are overwhelmingly comprised by people of European ancestry.

I am not selecting best performing group for the sake of comparison, I’m just comparing various natural and obvious population clusters that have been understood and distinguished by everyone completely unrelatedly to the discussion of educational outcomes. The category of white Americans has not been invented to show how great US education is. I am totally interested in comparing educational outcomes of white Americans with other major ethnic or ancestral populations in other countries, it’s just white Americans come out ahead almost every single time.
Based on the numbers from above, it looks like Black kids are up 2%? Or maybe I don't understand what those percentages mean.
> Although it has been on my mind for a long time, I haven’t been able to read a comprehensive book based on these studies

Deep Work by Cal Newport focuses on these ideas pretty heavily, and he cites plenty of studies to back up his arguments. Like the author of the blogpost says, "There’s no guarantee that what works for them will work for you", but I found my productivity increased noticeably after I applied some of the advice from the book.
that's definitely still the case. devin drafts my emails for issues it runs into (which i tell it to do) and i send them off.

this is definitely slower than if i were doing it full time, but i run a company. i go from customer meeting to customer meeting and spend 5-10 min a day taking whatever is blocking devin and pasting it into an email to the partner to get a response for devin.

The five-minute city: inside Denmark's revolutionary neighbourhood
Of course, it goes without saying. But at some point, I think one has to keep a certain restraint on that blame game. I think blaming the Revolution for Napoleonic wars causalities is crossing the threshold of acceptability.

The Zionist movement had a certain role to play in the Holocaust, didn't it? But most people would consider it a grave error in judgment to attribute blame to this movement for a certain part of Holocaust victims.
No offense taken, I also have many qualms about the role looks and photos play in our society. The destruction & gamification of social interaction by tech is a genuine harm.

Unfortunately it's what we're dealing with right now, and people need feedback to be able to play the game.
It’s not a justification though. That’s what I’m saying.

Just because the left doesn’t mention an issue, doesn’t mean that a consensus is reached.

No political party really talks much about school shootings in the US nowadays, but that doesn’t mean the consensus is young white men are naturally school shooters.
No one is expected to use any of the code licensed in this way commercially. You enter a contract with the vendor, tell them what you need, and negotiate a price. At that point, it doesn't really matter what the copyright license says.
Maybe it's meant to be a positive presentation? I remember reading somewhere that Ashkenazis have excellent educational attainment.
The bell indeed can't be unrung.

But, if one understands that what the Swedish leaders did was not on behalf of it's people, you begin to understand what the future should look like.

You can order certain pills that are meant for men for like 50c a piece online from India and sell them for 10€ a piece face to face to normies. Handing out a few freebies ALWAYS leads to the guys becoming frequent future customers. Because those damn pills, while not considered addictive, make things so, so much better. And not every country already has easy, cheap and low effort ways to order them normally…

(I am talking about vitamin pills aimed at men and nothing else and I am not doing this, I heard someone tell me this story.)

> For example, if I feed it with the 10 MLoC repository, how long does it take before it can start working through the problem?

The initial scan may take about a hour with a repository that size, and the knowledge base buildup will take about a week (but that one happens during the coding process). It will not continuously scan the entire codebase once it builds up the knowledge of the repository.
Can’t I just enjoy playing a game for however many hours without having to buy shit?
Timoni seems to be focused on managing applications by evaluating CUE modules stored in OCI containers, and produces OCI containers as artifacts. It looks like Holos is more of a configuration management solution that also uses CUE, but produces rendered Kubernetes manifests instead of OCI containers. Holos narrowly focuses on integrating different types of components and producing "hydrated" manifests while relying on other solutions (Argo/Flux) to apply/enforce the manifests.

This was basically only in NYC from my understanding. Everyone Ive asked learned via phonics
I agree, it would be, so I take issue with the extreme interpretation of the remark. These are merely two cases of foolishness. The first is of one’s choices not actually being in harmony with one’s preferences, the latter is simply a common cognitive bias. I’m not characterising talk of a “social contact” as malicious, but naive. Folks who want community obligations attached to their contributions can and probably should choose a copyleft license. Realising this in hindsight is a matter of personal growth.

I advise against relating to software as an emotional construct. Certainly for noncontributors but also even for contributors and primary authors. Redis is not your cat.
Being trapped in an enclosed space with something like that, which supplies its own oxidizer and burns very hot, would be a nightmare. It's like wondering if your food can retreat to the safe corner of your oven or BBQ, away from the burner.

That logic doesn't exactly hold. Consider Gardens of Eden in Game of Life [0]. We can suspect that reality is similar to GoL where there is an infinite space and time that evolves according to some ruleset. In that case it is plausible that there are conceivable states that will, nonetheless, not be assumed even if there are an infinite set of possible states that reality will assume and infinite time to explore them all.

Just a few weeks ago I was on a trip through back roads of NC and VA and saw a bunch of historical markers and wondered how to do something with them. And now I know.

My thinking was to stop and get a gps coordinate and then what? How do I get them all across the states? And that is about how far my thinking got before a SQUIRREL ran through my brain.

Glad to see some of my thoughts aren't to far out there. Now just have to work on DOING instead of THINKING.
> This is not what he did. He just explained to you that the outcomes for all those subgroups are basically better in the US than elsewhere.

He literally said that USA has excellent educational system. The explanation with statistical gerrymandering and random comparisons followed.

>Even that is a moot point though, because the aggregate US score is already perfectly comparable to e.g. EU level

EU level isn’t great. Besides, EU recently experienced major influx of immigrants (on the scale of millions). USA is #18 in the latest rating, 7-15% difference in the score with top 5%.

And yes, American math curriculum is indeed a joke.

> Describing the US education system as "bad" (=> compared to peer-nations) is just objectively wrong.

I didn’t say it is bad. You are replying to my comment where I basically say that you cannot say it’s excellent based on THAT data.

I recently did a digital declutter, as described in Cal Newport's book Digital Minimalism.

One hobby I picked up much more easily than anticipated: microcontroller programming. With the spare energy and mindspace freed up from scrolling social media, I'm now expanding my skillset and reading far more books.

I'm not claiming to have boosted my skills to an unrealistic degree, but the benefits of giving up the dumb online activity are very real, very tangible, and very valuable IMO.
My chief complaint is that it’s functionally equivalent to belief in God. It strikes me as fundamentally the same instinct but reinterpreted in a manner palatable to the “i’m very logical and rational” crowd.
District Heating Can Transform Urban Energy Landscapes
Sweet! trying this out now.

one quick nit on your docs: https://docs.hyperbrowser.ai/guides/scrape-site

```

import Hyperbrowser from "@hyperbrowser/sdk";

const client = new Hyperbrowser({
apiKey: process.env.HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY,
});

(async () => {

const job = await client.startScrapeJob({ url: "https://example.com" });

console.log(job);

const job = await client.getScrapeJob(job.jobId);

console.log(job);

})();
```

should be:

```

import Hyperbrowser from "@hyperbrowser/sdk";

const client = new Hyperbrowser({
apiKey: process.env.HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY,
});

(async () => {

let job = await client.startScrapeJob({ url: "https://example.com" }); // s/const/let

console.log(job);

job = await client.getScrapeJob(job.jobId); // remove const

console.log(job);

})();

The point is that gun control isn't solving anything but eliminating what many Americans perceive as a fundamental right, because bad people do bad things with neutral items. You can stab dozens of people mortally before you're put down. You can mow a crowd of people down with your vehicle. But I carry a gun every day out of the possibility that someone might do one of those things to me, or my loved ones.

Banning a right is the worst bandaid "fix" possible, on top of what is a much more fundamental problem that can't be solved by merely stopping one of its symptoms. Our people are sick in multiple ways. Let's fix that.
It's trendy for accomplished people to talk down about themselves as a way to sound cute. It's similar to software developers who like to say "I don't know what I'm doing, I just Google and Stackoverflow all day." It has a certain charm to it, and certainly there are some people for whom it's true, but overall it's just a misguided attempt at being modest but ultimately a horribly misleading statement.
