How is the Scots wiki policing itself? For those who dont know one person made thousands of articles with some bot, that are poor translations from English.

> the project contained an unusually high number of articles written in poor-quality Scots. They were written by a single prolific contributor, who was an American teenager. These articles consisted of mostly English instead of Scots vocabulary and grammar. It is claimed that the editor apparently used an online English–Scots dictionary to translate parts of English Wikipedia articles word-to-word in disregard of its grammar.

> Over 23,000 articles, approximately a third of the entire Scots Wikipedia at that time, were created by the editor. These articles have been described as "English written in a Scottish accent," with gibberish and nonsensical words and spellings not present in any Scots dialect.

I'm 35, I consider myself old. Why? Objectively speaking, I simply can't do what I could during my 10s and 20s anymore. It's a fundamental change from becoming able to do more things as I got older, now I can do less things as I get older and that's sad.

Anecdotally speaking, I'm just tired of nearly everything and I have nothing I could call life aspirations or dreams. I'm satisfied if I get through another day in peace.

Some people are young until the moment they croak, some are old from the moment they gain real awareness and agency, but most people cruise from young to old on a biological slide.
I took that to be a "joke" by one of his viewers (his viewers are a joking crowd) or a guess, because why wouldn't you just issue a handful of wildcard certs instead of spamming subdomain cert issuance, so I thought nothing more of that comment. (heck both LE and AWS (The two cert issuers I have the most recent experience with) both rate-limit certs, either how many certs you can request in a period of time (le) or have active at any one time (aws), unless you manually request an exemption. IMO it's more work to issue a freshly minted cert for each instance you create then just slapping a wildcard cert on them all)

But as you brought it up I went and checked [0], There are only 3 subdomains on the devinapps.com domain in the cert logs with those kind of subdomains, all dated from May 21st to May 26th 2024 issued by Let's Encrypt, so prob just test/dev instances, also those certs have since expired and the URLs appear are not longer "active".

Today the devinapp.com subdopmains are indeed behind on a wildcard domain issued by AWS. (you can query DNS for {anything}.devinapps.com and dns will reply with the same set of IP's hosted on AWS, and if you visit {anything}.devinapps.com you will (most likely) get a 404 from an nginx server using a wildcard cert)

You can go a step further and have scripts runnable from anywhere without cloning any repo or setting up any venv, directly from PyPi: when you package your lib called `mylib`, define cli scripts under [project.scripts] in your pyproject.toml,

[project.scripts]
mytool = "path.to.script:main"

and publish to PyPi. Then anyone can directly run your script via

uvx --from mylib mytool

As an example, for Langroid (an open-source agent-oriented LLM lib), I have a separate repo of example scripts `langroid-examples` where I've set up some specific scripts to be runnable this way:

https://github.com/langroid/langroid-examples?tab=readme-ov-...

E.g. to chat with an LLM

uvx --from langroid-examples chat --model ollama/qwen2.5-coder:32b

or chat with LLM + web-search + RAG

uvx --from langroid-examples chatsearch --model groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile
Looks nice, but I don't get why it's marketed specifically towards autonomous vehicle development? Couldn't this be a viable platform for lots of other types of dev as well?
He'll probably win, poor children are actually not such good fighters.
When I see all these "phone ban" experiments, I always wonder, is the phone that's the issue, or is it the apps/websites tailored for engagement (a.k.a addiction)?

Maybe instead of banning kids from using phones, they should consider banning companies from making their apps addictive on purpose.

Some software is engineered but not all of it by a long shot, IMO. I'm not an engineer, I'm a programmer.

Engineering is all about certifications and contracts and laws and codes of conducts. Engineers don't build the bridges themselves, there are many layers of delegations to the guy who actually operates the crane or puts in the rivets.

Most programming done today is craftsmanship not engineering. We have the freedom to implement the same thing in multiple wildly different ways, there are famous "masters" with lots of opinions, on the job programming is still taught in an apprenticeship kind of way, there are consultancies that act effectively like studios or workshops, I type my own code with my own hands, etc. Software is basically still in the artisan era.

I for one much prefer the current state and would probably do something else if software was fully professionalized. I would hate to just design some high level spec out of well-known reusable parts, with massive legal and contractual requirements, to be implemented by massive teams of contractors.

I went from software engineering to navigating people through German bureaucracy. It started as a simple blog, but applied a lot of software engineering knowledge to the problems I face. Simple things like using calculated variables in my content, monitoring German legal texts for changes, and building calculators and letter generators for my readers. I also implement more complex things like a custom static site generator that lints content. It keeps the work varied and fun.

More and more, I also build contacts in and around Berlin's government to effect change at a lower level, instead of building a nice layer on top of a crap bureaucracy.

It has been my full time job since 2020, and it's still going pretty solid. I absolutely love it, in part because the work itself is fun, and in part because I have a kind and grateful audience.

I describe the why and the how here: https://nicolasbouliane.com/projects/all-about-berlin

It's full of stupid comments. E.g. the python implementation has this attached.

Nono, I specifically mentioned no willpower required. Like in your example of available actions, I also have zero desire to jump out of the window, so don’t have to expend any willpower to resist it. Similarly, on my good days, I don’t feel attracted to my phone. What do you say about that?

I measure the wait times at the Berlin immigration office. This makes the residence permit application process a lot more predictable.

It's not super complex. A Django backend and a VueJS frontend. The small innovation is using localstorage to save a modification key, so that people can update their existing feedback without dealing with emails and logins. I also email people a reminder to update their feedback after 2 and 6 months, since people tend to forget to do that.

It's working pretty well. We gathered more feedback in a month than we'd normally do in a year or two. It's immensely useful in support to my residence permit application guides.

Do humans really miss anything important in their diet when they have to substitute fat with more carbs? As in being a challenge to the multigenerational survival of a community, not as in missing or on national health gains?

A population that is protein-starved will be in real trouble, no matter how plentiful everything else is. I think it makes perfect sense to give special attention to the protein source, even if it's also a major energy supplier with the fat that comes along.

But of course it's well possible that the focus on protein is mostly coincidental, as described in GP's excellent post, and not so much motivated by substitutability. But I'd argue that it's a convenient coincidence.
Weasely indeed. They must list what they do, not what they don't.

Sound similar to how one needs to succeed as an entrepreneur:

First you have to be smart, an IQ of less than 100 won't do

Second you have to pick the right product/service.

Third you have to persevere long enough. One cannot give up too soon, But persevering too much would be a case of sunken case fallacy.

Forth you have to time your product/service. Too early or too late, it will affect your parents.

etc...

I don't think you have the appropriate context here. This isn't about "good" (in person?) friends vs digital friends known only online. This is about schoolkids who almost all have smartphones losing a channel of communication with their schoolmates and thus being excluded from much of what goes on in the social group outside of school.

I have a child around this age and can absolutely see the issue, but I think it's less about phones per se and more about messaging apps and/or social media. For us, banning the phone itself wouldn't have these effects because we impose suitable restrictions on use as well as having put effort into educating our kids on healthy behaviours.

There are a small number of kids in the year group with "nokias" (non-smart phones) and they aren't looked down on or deliberately excluded by others, but they might feel they are missing out on something. As the kids get older and more independent their needs for communication tools will surely grow, but not so much social media.
I work on a similar product, and honestly the AI parts dont really matter wrt privacy. Its uninteresting. The EXIF information is way more private and useful, but exif data is also what makes the product usable. If you strip exif, you might as well chuck all your photos in a single folder and call it a day. We also dont sell your data to anyone and we dont run analysis on your data

Selecting a metaphor implies that ones imagination is - at least partially - constrained by the metaphor. AI as a powerpoint would make using AI for anything other than presentations seem unusual since that what powerpoint is used for.

Also when the original author "models as computers" what does "computer" represent? A mainframe computer the size of small apartment, a smartphone, a laptop, turing machine or some collection of server racks. Even the term "computer" is broad enough to include many forms of interaction. I interact with my smartphone visually while with my server rack textually, yet both are computers.

At least initially, AI seems to be something completely different, almost god-like in its ability to provide us with insightful answers and creative suggestions. God-like meaning that judged from the outside, AI has the ability to provide comforting support in times of need, which is one characteristic of a god-like entity.

Powerpoint wasn't built to be a god-like provider of answers to the most important questions. It would indeed be a surprising if a PP presentation made the same impact as religious scriptures - to thousands/millions of people, not referring to individual experiences.
If we are never going to take the time to write, articulate, or even think about things anymore, how can we still feel like we have the authority or skills or even context to evaluate what we generate?

Is that why you think exonerating, platforming, and worshipping Kyle Rittenhouse is justified? Because you think murdering innocent people in the name of racism should be legal, as well as mass murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent people by denying health care in the name of massive profits, earning $10 million per year plus $64 million in UnitedHealth Group stock as blood money?

Please explain your previous statement you posted on that topic, which I asked you to explain but you failed to answer, because I really want to understand how the twisted minds of people like you work, and how you justify such extreme cognitive dissonance, hypocrisy, blatant racism, and cold blooded profiteering murderers, including Brian Thompson, Kyle Rittenhouse, Daniel Penny, and George Zimmerman?

Daily Show Accuses Right of Hypocrisy With Montage of Pundits Condemning CEO Killer and Celebrating Kyle Rittenhouse:

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/daily-show-accuses-right-of-hypo...

The Daily Show posted a video of right-wing pundits condemning the praise of the CEO shooter, and juxtaposed it with footage of Kyle Rittenhouse being praised.

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York last week has controversially been celebrated by some who are frustrated with the state of the health insurance industry in the country. That praise has been met with harsh criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.

On Wednesday, The Daily Show published a montage of Fox News pundits criticizing those who are praising accused shooter Luigi Mangione. Directly next to montage, however, was footage of Rittenhouse being introduced at a Turning Point USA event — giving the impression that the pundits are actually calling out the praise for the 21-year-old who killed two protestors in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020.

“Fox News talking about Luigi Mangione, but make the footage Kyle Rittenhouse,” the tweet said.

The video began with Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk saying on stage, “Let’s get loud for Kyle Rittenhouse.” Seconds later, a clip of Sean Hannity talking about Mangione’s praise was shown.

“Murder, assassination, vigilantism,” Hannity said. “It’s wrong; it’s evil; it’s despicable… [He] was no hero… Cheering for the murder of an unarmed man beyond sick.”

While the Hannity clip played, the scene at the Turning Point event was jubilant as the crowd cheered for Rittenhouse’s arrival.

“For anyone that sympathizes and empathizes with a murderer,” Fox News contributor Nicole Parker said, “that is completely upside-down in our American society. There are people that need to re-evaluate their inner soul and their moral compass. There is nothing acceptable to me about that.”

Then, one of Kirk’s colleagues began chanting, “Kyle, Kyle, Kyle,” on the Turning Point stage.

“To sympathize with them,” Parker continued, “is just disgusting.”
Thats cause age doesnt signal what stress or trauma you have dealt with in life.

Depends totally on the life experience of the person. Look at the reactions of friends and family to the Luigi Mangione story. They are all universally suprised and shocked. Why?

Cause the assumption is a well educated well off 26 year old can handle what ever the environment throws at them.
No, I just avoid it.

The Sun outputs the energy equivalent of over 4 million tons of matter every second. The same as the energy of over a billion hydrogen bombs every second.

Only a tiny amount reaches the Earth, and we use only a tiny amount of that. But if we could capture even a small percentage of the total energy of the Sun we could produce antimatter by the ton.

Well yeah, most people (men specifically) watch certain sports for the high risks/stakes. If you remove those stakes, then it's not worth watching as much. Imagine how boxing would fare if the gloves had enough padding to not hurt the opponent.
Agreed on c# having better low-level primitives available. I know Java has some long-term projects in flight (Valhalla and friends), but dotnet has all of that available today.

I’m curious in what industry you’re utilizing those features. I imagine you must be using mostly your own code since much of nuget contains things that don’t take performance as a first priority. I imagine it would be similar to the trading companies using Java where they toss out most of the standard library and most things on maven and create their own faster versions (which is also not dissimilar to gamedevs tossing out STL and making their own low-allocation libraries).
To me there was a distinct "aha" moment when the "vim language" suddenly made sense. Makes me think of when kids suddenly discover how to read.

Ruby Video – On a mission to index all Ruby conferences
A combination of taking photos for just any purpose (from memos to remember posters, events, or even store prices, to notes) for 2 decades now, enough interest in photography to have played with raw for while and still keep a bunch of them for my favorites, to our kid happening, and a lot of traveling around, which meant additional deluges of pictures.

Google Photos makes it a no-brainer to manage, which largely contributed to the size inflation (which is also why searching and indexing have become critical to us)

PS: I declared bankruptcy on photo management a long time ago. Reducing my library to a decent size is totally possible but would take months of sifting through near duplicates.

>What is the use of so many images?

For me the problem is that I'm not a great photographer. I take loads of bad photos. It would take me far too much time to go through all of them and decide which ones to keep.

Also, my wife and I sometimes look at old photos for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the photo or even with reminiscing. Instead, we may look for some specific fact (mole, dental issue, dress, haircut, domestic repairs, flooded footpaths, etc). The more photos we keep, the more likely it is that we can find what we're looking for.
