Graph layout is extremely interesting for infographics, since a handmade graph will almost always beat what tools such as graphviz can come up with (and I'm not even mentioning algorithms that go beyond Sugiyama's for which there is only a paper).

Any progress on this front ?
I go to a lot of choir concerts. What I've found is that I much prefer (good) choirs singing without accompanying instruments, because when there are instruments involved the harmonies always fall into equal temperament. There is a quality when they sing a cappella which simply isn't there when they don't.

My issue with SPAs is that I very often end up in an incorrect state. I don't know, maybe I'm using a browser wrong? I'm clicking on things, pressing back and forward, and almost daily in some SPA app I get to either a blank screen or some error. I then refresh, and inevitably lose the state, as the URL would likely not match the latest correct state of the app.
This article didn't really hit for me. It feels like I'm just reading the author's particular experiences run through a gauntlet of theorisation that ultimately does more to obscure than clarify the message.

1. Being a very particular sort of person (I'm going to guess specifically Bay Area tech or tech-adjacent rationalist), the author is surprised to find that his personal experience of poly dating is different to what the statistics say. Is it the author's social group? His preferences? A limitation of his context? Nope, it's "statistics, culture, and biology". I find this to be generally true of rationalist writing: why reflect when you can generalise?

2. "most things conceptualized as identity are silly" is a pretty significant axiom to assert halfway down a section on definitions, immediately underneath the Classical Greek Forms of Love infographic. The article's first conclusion is just this same premise restated, leaving me suspicious of whatever reasoning occured in between.

3. It's hard to even find the author's actual perspective through all the equivocation. Monogamy and polyamory are both deluded in their own ways, they both say they're natural, but really the most natural thing is... incel-tier sexual economics? And maybe that's bad, or maybe not, so you should do what feels right for you. But also it's really about your attachment wounds, so maybe just do whatever's easiest. Or maybe just pick one and stick with it. But you can (and probably will) change your mind. In conclusion, the important thing is to be thoughtful and considered in our choices and the effect they have on society.

As far as I can tell, the actual truth of this piece is that the author is in a community where polyamory is the norm. He really tried to make it work for him but it didn't. He's not poly anymore and kinda thinks the whole thing is busted, but doesn't want to alienate his community. So he's just wafting a general sense of intellectualised discontent into the air and hoping for the best. I mean, fine, but I don't think we needed to get to Level Seven of The Spiral to do it.
it's certainly based on route selection than driver vs robot.

if you put even teenage drivers on the waymo covered routes and compare with average it would probably have the same drop.
> I am not sure what "should" means in that context.

Really?

The phrase means "what was the best choice", which means "she could not figure out which model offered the best balance of price, performance and features."

I can't offhand think of a more efficient way to phrase it, TBH.
Even "vanilla" tldraw is super cool as a clean, functional, open-source html5 whiteboard, and the team have absolutely been killing it in their comms and use of LLMs. I honestly think they might be some of the most innovative people around when it comes to really novel UI for LLMs. Also, Todepond is just very cool.

That all sounds like effects caused by various companies policies, not things caused by the ISA. IE it's Intel and AMD selling well documented general purpose parts to anyone vs Arm and Qualcomm selling licences and undocumented highly integrated parts to Samsung & Apple, not x86 vs risc.

Probably also IBM for kicking off the pc platform in the first place where anyone could produce compatible parts. If IBM had done that with a 68k instead, it would be 68k instead of x86.
If that is the case then this paper should be redacted.

As someone who is involved in making arts things, and also hacking web things, I have thought of many ways to try and surprise people with their own data. To make a spectacle, and to draw attention to how much we leak information, to be used by who knows who for who knows what. But I settled on the most interesting path being to make a connection with people and share in their information with their agreement. Rather than perusing the predatory urge of the artist or the hacker.
Or Amazon can use their current actuaries/data scientist to flag any outliers and only review those, if your "valuation" is 1% off that's just cost of doing business when your scale is massive.

This isn't a "every single one must be enforced" kind of thing. If they can reduce their costs by 15% on average that is a very large number.
Nakiri most definitely cannot use any steel.

Using a very sharp nakiri made of a very hard steel is incomparably more enjoyable than using one made of ordinary steel, due to the reduced force required for slicing, and it avoids the need for frequent sharpening.

As long as it is used for its only intended function, i.e. cutting/slicing/chopping vegetables, nakiri has the optimum shape, at least for people like myself, who do not like the rocking motion required with French-style chef knives, but who prefer to slice or chop with precise rectilinear motions.

For some things that might require the use of the point with European knives, like removing some defect in a vegetable, the heel of a nakiri blade is actually more convenient.

Of course the nakiri shape is not versatile. If you want a multi-purpose blade, I prefer the kiritsuke shape (i.e. a trapezoidal blade, not much different from a box cutter with a longer point), because that kind of point allows a maximum precision in cuts.

Using a Japanese peeling/paring knife with very thin, sharp and hard blade is much more enjoyable than using an ordinary paring knife made of stainless steel, due to much less effort for using it and more precise results (i.e. lower vegetable waste).

A long time ago, I had been using knives like those described by you, but replacing them with up to 3 better knives (paring/peeling, cutting/slicing/chopping and boning) has completely changed cooking from something that was more of a chore to an enjoyable activity.
Interesting side note on Kelly:

In probability theory, Proebsting's paradox is an argument that appears to show that the Kelly criterion can lead to ruin. Although it can be resolved mathematically, it raises some interesting issues about the practical application of Kelly, especially in investing. It was named and first discussed by Edward O. Thorp in 2008.[1] The paradox was named for Todd Proebsting, its creator.

I'll second that. I've used it a lot for my own small projects.
Pair programming if done on task such as "let's make this completely standard thing we've done five times already and need a slight variation of" is horrible. When working with new developers, if they're senior or junior, is great though. It doesn't have to be full days but a few hours a day of pair programming brings someone up to speed incredibly quickly.

When there's hard problems to track down, I think all developers go to pair debugging. If not only for the rubber duck effect.
Depends on what you're doing. It's very noticeable for my work.
That's the dream. As a cyclist I would hope that day comes very soon.

What makes 0 better than the other numbers?
Linux to me still feels like it used to be in the 90s. It's certainly improved, and package management is better, but the UI's are inconsistent and of relatively low quality. The advantage would be that you have more of a one-to-one match with what happens on the server side (which is usually Linux for most people).

Some parts might require some tweaks, but usually it's a once off and then you're good to go. Containers - haven't had much issues, but you might run into some non-ARM based images for Docker, but fairly easily solved.

As for window management - what do you mean? The window management to me is good, but then I never understood tiling window managers and such, if that is your requirement.

Well yes and no. I assure you, many many forums exist outside of Facebook, and mailing lists too.

And endless, classic, non-https sites still exist too.

They are just pages deep in Google's search results, especially with the entire first several pages of scrolling being their almost always wrong suggestions.

And it doesn't help that verbatim is completely broken now, and that Google aliases search terms, and drops search terms, even when using quotes.

A horrible design, and the result is all that goodness is harder to find.

The lithium AA/AAA/CR batteries don't seem to leak. They're not widely available though. I use them for devices which mostly sit in a drawer and their lifetime can reach 5-6 years.
Is Front-End Too Complicated? My Take
Quoting the same page: One easy way to dismiss the paradox is to note that Kelly assumes that probabilities do not change.

That's good to know. Kelly is good if you know the probabilities AND they don't change.

If you don't know or if they can change, I expect the right approach has to be more complex than the Kelly one.
1-800-ChatGPT Is a Phishing Disaster Waiting to Happen
People are curious and adventurous. And greedy, power-hungry, and short-sighted. It doesn't even work today to warn people of something dangerous.

As has been said many times, any warning sign, particularly pompous ones, may always be interpreted as a sign of worship instead. So just pile a few hundred thousand skelettons on top -- a literal sign of death. We probably cannot do better. If anyone in the future does not understand this when digging it up, then a few people will need to die until they do. I don't think there's a solution.

Except maybe not to produce dangerous material that lasts longer than human memory. But that's, well, you can read the first paragraph again.

This probably applies to most mainstream entertainment.
I just watched a video with the battery replacement in Macbook Air. There is no way the laptop will switch on after I do it by myself for the first time.
Does it? I'm all too familiar with bad codebases where yes, trivial changes take days.

That's not the fault of the library. It's the fault of the people using the libraries.

I'm not a big fan of web dev at large but there's nothing inherent to React's architecture that makes editing a single component to add a static link difficult (that I'm aware of).

What you're describing is typical average dev that creates impossible spaghetti code and then with an honest heart tells project managers how hard it is to change the color of a button because of incomprehensible tech jargon until the clueless PM goes 'okay okay, will two days be enough?' and the dev goes 'yes, I think so'.
Another very odd comment, to me.

> Aren't Mac the opposite for the developers

No?

> with subpar support for say, containers and dev tools,

It's a Unix machine. All that is right there and readily available.

> and crappy out of the box window management

Not really, no. Add one app and it's a tiling environment. Actually that is built-in in macOS 15 but I've got it turned off as I have a tiling app I've been using for 15+ years and I'm happy with it.

> compared to a laptop running on linux?

No. It's a better UI in every way, less hassle, more apps and better support.

I've been using Linux for 28 years now and for a while it improved beyond all recognition, but it's getting very clunky again with all the bloat now.

I switched to macOS on my desktop machines once I could afford it, and Linux for laptops. This is a happy compromise.

But I've also been writing about it for well over 25 years and that means reading other people's writing about it and where possible talking to them.

All the professionals evangelising Linux in the 20th century have moved to Macs now. It's the same core experience, but done better.

> Seems to me you have to do a lot of manual tweaking and install before having something half decent as a dev.

I can't speak for being a developer because I'm not one, but I can speak about Linux and macOS as a pro.

This is the wrong way to use a Mac.

The right way to use a Mac is not to fight it. Accept things as they are, learn to work with it, and add the extras you need.

You can't customise macOS very much and it's hard. So, don't. Be like bamboo, not a tree: bend with the wind, adapt to where you are, and then grow where you want to go.

The result is a proper full on UNIX™ environment which needs little to no maintenance and has integration to an extent no other Unix-like OS will ever achieve.

Your questions seem to me to be motivated by bias and conviction of faith, and it is misplaced, as any such fervent belief is.

> I’d love to distill a “ModernTinyBERT

That’s a question I’m interested in as well! DistilBERT and friends have been terribly useful at the edge. I wonder if/when we may see something similar for ModernBERT.
It could also be both: though it's not necessarily that they are "dumb", but that the language of mathematics is something they can't get their head around, even if they can understand the concepts when described in spoken language.

Eg. it's probably pretty easy to convince them that with 15 cards in a deck, out of which 5 are red and 10 are black, chances are bigger (and in particular 10/15 or ~67%) that they'll pull out a black card, and that you should bet more on this happening. If you happen to miss, you should only bet even more on black since the chances grow further — to be able to maintain this strategy, you only need to never bet too much so you have enough "funds" to bet all the way through (eg. in the worst case where the least likely thing happens: in my example, that would be 5 red cards coming up first).

Putting all this reasoning into formulae is what math is, and I do believe some struggle with abstracting these more than others (which is why the divide does exist and why many people believe those good at math are "smart", which is very much not so — seen plenty of "stupid" mathematicians, even professors). Does not make them "dumb", but might make them "modern math dumb". A signal that someone can be good at math today is that they are unfazed with more-than-3-dimensional spaces (you need to stop tying things to physical world).
Looks impressive! What are the connection/comparison with imgui though?
There are situations where it's faster to prefetch manually than to rearrange and rely on the hardware prefetcher. Yes, even on modern CPU's.
This is covered in the paper, although, somewhat ironically, opposite the bias you're implying:

>The garaging zip code of the insured vehicle was used as a proxy for the city (Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin) in which the vehicle drives. Waymo also almost exclusively operated on surface streets (non access-controlled freeways) with a unique distribution of driving that is representative of a ride-hailing fleet. In contrast, the benchmark represents the privately insured driver population that resides in these geographic regions. The associated benchmark mileage has more freeway driving than the Waymo ADS. There are several considerations when examining these results with respect to this limitation. First, freeway driving has a lower crash rate (Scanlon et al., 2024a). Including freeway driving makes this benchmark crash rate artificially lower, so, by including freeways in this study’s benchmark, the benchmark crash rate underestimates the true driving risk of where the Waymo ADS operates. Second, driving outside of these denser urban areas that the Waymo ADS operates would likely represent a reduction in overall relative crash risk. For example, commuters from the city would likely experience a reduced crash risk as they travel to less densely populated areas (Chen et al., 2024). Previous studies have shown that most injury collisions occur within a small radius from
residency, and that American drivers rarely travel far from their place of residence, with approximately 80% of one-way household trips being less than 10 miles (DOE, 2022). Third, the benchmark drivers garaged in the Waymo deployment area are not operating with the same distribution of mileage within the geographical limits as the Waymo ADS. Chen et al. (2024) explored the effect of Waymo’s driving distribution on benchmark crash risk and found that - should the benchmark driving distribution match Waymo’s in San Francisco, Phoenix, and
Los Angeles - the benchmark police-reported crash rates would have been between 14% and 38% higher. Due to all three of these limitations being expected to artificially suppress the benchmark crash rate (underestimation), the benchmarking results in this study are considered to be conservative. Surely, there is an opportunity in future work to leverage new data, such as insurance telematics, to more precisely define and leverage the benchmark driving exposure data to better account for this potential confounder.
So your angle is just to let ChatGPT fill that space?
Better bring out the pitchforks earlier while we still have access to them!!
Everyone is trying to do that, but the tech just isn't there yet. We would need to double the resolution of the best VR headsets to be able to properly simulate 1920p screens at any reasonable distance.

But at the same time everyone knows that the tech will get there eventually. A lot of current VR products seem to mostly exist to position companies to be able to exploit the market once the tech gets good enough.
Either you think the CEO was an undeserving victim, or you think that only billionaires and their enforces deserve a monopoly on lethal force.

Neither choice is valid, and this statement is just pure mindfuck.

It is completely irrelevant what the CEO "deserved". I'm not going to condone lynching or vigilante killings in any civil context.

There's no analogy with Ukraine/Russia, or any actual military conflict.

You whole take here smells like "We're at civil war already, so why not just start lynching people? At least we'll have justice, finally."
Near field effects have got to be huge on those things.
How did Waymo do this? As far as I know, replacing drivers with an AI was the goal of ever-money-losing Uber and Lyft, however, Waymo managed to get to this much sooner while having less funds.
Good to see studies of incidents in comparison to human drivers. Historically what I have seen is 'self-driving car crashes into X, which seems to be concentrating exclusively on outliers to prove a point.
At this point this is just trolling, right?
The README for the project is one of the most detailed READMEs I’ve ever seen. The landing page for the website has as much detail as you can reasonably expect, even including a couple of feature demos. There are clear links to the docs and the code.

The developer has clearly put a lot of thought into this content. Worth taking a second or two to see what’s available before criticising it.
In SF they drive on the freeway, way more than 30kph.

The real solution is the dynamization of electricity prices. This needs some adjusting from your average consumer but not a lot if done right. In Germany there are startups like 1.5C, Enpal etc which will sell you a heat pump, solar, ev charger pack with some "smarts", switch you over to a dynamic pricing electricity contract and then claim to optimize the overall cost (i have no direct experience of my own). If you are willing to take a small amount of temperature swing your house is a big thermal battery (even more so if you have a heat pump to water with a big, well insulated reservoir), your ev is a battery with vehicle to grid. With this you can shift your main loads a good amount. Washing machines and dryer as well as cooking/baking might be slightly more problematic/harder to shift, though the car battery should be more than enough for average evening cooking and i have seen washing machines/dryers which can take an external signal as to run when the price is low/there is excess electricity...

Beyond Meat is a weird analogy here. It's relatively expensive, and having a Beoynd Meat alternative to steaks would open up new markets (vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, groups of people who include vegans and vegetarians and pescatarians) so it's something restaurants tend to feature prominently on their menues as a vegan or vegetarian alternative.

A better alternative would be a steak restaurant known for using quality meats and then they decide to include cheap meat to reduce cost, and not make it clear that that's what you're ordering.

Artists paid upfront to write songs they'd never write that only get millions of listens when forced on users can't really complain they aren't getting big enough royalties. The whole point is their music is bland.

This is no different to working for a salary and not getting equity. And being a star has always been more about exposure than talent.

It's a shame for the real artists trying to write bland crap though. But the fault is with listeners. And let's face it, most musicians are probably only doing it hoping to one day become a star and get loaded... which is why there's so much competition.

All we can really say is Spotify etc and powerful DAWs have broken down barriers to being able to make and release music, which should be a good thing shouldn't it?

But yeah, Spotify stuffing playlists with their choices instead of popular music sounds bad... except only playing popular music would only reward the early birds on the platforms, so that's a tricky one too...
