my approach is to ignore all the *conda stuff and:

yay -S python-virtualenv # I'm on arch, do not confuse with 12 similarly named alternatives
pyenv virtualenv 3.10 random-python-crap
pyenv local 3.10.6/envs/random-python-crap
pip install -r requirements.txt

and it works (sometimes deps are in some other places, or you have to pass -c constraints.txt or there is no file and you need to create it in various ways)

At least by not using local .env directories, I always know where to find them.

I install a lot of AI projecst so I have around 1TB just for the same python dependencies installed over and over again.

Sometimes I can get away with trying to use the same venv for two different projects but 8/10 deps get broken.
No it's wrong because of the mess it makes. Which makes even the things that that crowd of people wants to focus on, like wuick scripts or data science, harder.
> I don't think so. The underpinnings were there, may it be the concepts for E2EE, P2P, Verification, Bridging, decentralized rooms and conferencing, synchronized history, etc. Not everything is production ready let alone finished with perfect UX, but it doesn't lack theoretical underpinnings.

Let me cut it short: either you think that there's nothing to be said about the current state resolution machinery, and that's an admission that Matrix will never reach its stated goal to become a mainstream decentralized network (because federation at scale just doesn't work with the current status-quo), or you agree with me that something needs to be done (but, like me, could turn impatient that nothing materializes after a decade).

>> The fact that they were spreading FUD and disinformation against XMPP

> In the past, I have experienced it more often vice versa than this way.

I am not challenging your experience, I am talking about what was effectively written about XMPP on the Matrix website. If this was reciprocal as you say, I'd like to be shown where and in which terms XMPP has engaged in disinformation campaigns against Matrix. At least, with the xmpp.org website's history being on github, it should be very easy: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Axsf%2Fxmpp.org%20matrix&t...

>> all of them XMPP services at one point or another of their histories

> histories is an important keyword

If by that you mean that WhatsApp, the single largest chat network to have ever existed, is history, I've got news for you. While we may regret that federation never was a thing with this network, talking about underpinnings, they are still very much versed in XMPP. And that's not an exception. All Android devices depend on XMPP for push notifications, so do every Nintendo switch, and millions of access points, networking and IoT devices. XMPP is all but dead.

> uniquely feeling mortal and vulnerable in a way teens typically have not, causing them to be more hesitant to risk losing their mind which they may need to protect themselves down the road

its just as easy to reach the exact opposite conclusion when everything is so hopeless and nihilistic. you are extrapolating way too much here.

less unsupervised time, location tracking from parents, unregulated dopamine from chatgroups and algorithms in public social media, and the risk of fentany and other poisons in drugs, are much better contributors to extrapolate from
Good for them. I hope all their demands are met.
Sure, but that also vindicates the GP's point that the initial claims of the boosters for planes contained more than their fair share of bullshit and lies.

That poll is really confusing. There are multiple types of conservatism—one is very media-driven (e.g. "omg they did a gender wokeness in my game") and then there's the global variety (liking traditional values). The poll presumes these are the same social phenomena when they're very obviously not. It doesn't help that the way our political parties (which is what the poll seems to be based on) differentiate themselves map extremely poorly onto how americans differentiate themselves.

edit: political -> media-driven
Seems very cool
And then somebody tries to install mamba via conda and that house of cards reveals itself.
The best feature of alternative YT clients IMO is "multiple subscription lists". I have so many subscriptions, when using the official YouTube app or site the "subscriptions" feed is overwhelming, and I prefer not to use the algorithmically-generated "home" feed. Since YT has kind of become the de facto "place to upload videos on the Internet", video topics are broad enough to constitute multiple web sites, and I like to be able to filter channels by topic rather than having them all grouped together.

If you're opposed to using a separate app just for this, you can achieve something similar using an RSS reader and YT's official RSS feeds (which I'm surprised they still publish tbh).
If you install a package in a fresh environment then it does actually get installed. It can be inherited from the global environment but I don't think disparate venvs that separately install a package actually share the package files. If they did, then a command executed in one tree could destroy the files in another tree. I have not done an investigation to look into this today but I think I'm right about this.
There was a topic here about quality not that long ago... One way to find out about actual quality stuff is to go on forum about expensive hobbies. There are regularly threads like: "what else do you not mind spending money on?"

And some people did lots of research and have no tolerance for crap.

It may look silly but I only discovered lately quality soap from a fancy famous brand. Wife and daughter both love it too.

You can think "overpriced poor quality soap, I may as well buy the cheapest one". But it s simply not how things work.

Now finding quality stuff is not easy. It takes research. That s why I think trying to go on a forum where people with some money hang out and discuss about everything is not a bad idea.

The person who happens to have the same point of view when it comes to build quality of a certain car brand and who happens to also share your point of view of a particular speakers brand (eg it s got a beautiful Macassar ebony finish and sounds amazing at its pricepoint) may happen to have an idea or two when it comes to finding other quality items.

Now of course you can believe everything is shut, that a $100 soundboard sounds flawless, that an Ikea furniture is of the same quality as Giorgio Collection ones (way overpriced btw) and that a Lada is as enjoyable as a Porsche.

But that s not what "quality" means.
But we are also seeing shrinking amounts of children. So a steady suicide amount in raw terms is an increasing rate.
If I'm reading it correctly, the knifemaker is the brother of the author's son-in-law. So this is kind of a family thing taking place in public; one family member creates a work of art that is excessive for its intended use, and the other family member responds with a work of art that is excessive for its intended use.

In both cases, the person is doing it because they can, not because they should. I'm not bothered at all; if this was supposed to be a news story it may be a different case.

It's already hard to get people to use computer as they are right now, where you only need to click on things and no longer have to enter commands. That because most people don't like to engage in formal reasoning. Even with one of the most intuitive computer assisted task (drawing and 3d modeling), there's so much to learn regarding theories that few people bother.

Programming has always been easy to learn, and tools to automate coding have existed for decades now. But how many people you know have had the urge to learn enough to automate their tasks?
I'm shocked how often one of my ~50 colleagues asks me to reset their 2FA. It's every 6-8 weeks or so.

THere is also the matter of United healthcare executives insider trading.

Google the phrase , United healthcare executives insider trading.

ie "...The late Brian Thompson and two other executives were accused of dumping stock prior a DOJ antitrust investigation into the company.....

It is puzzling why this is rarely mentioned in media articles about this matter?
I mean, do you feel sad for photographers, painters, digital artists that every stock photo used on every website in the world comes from a stock photo website and wasn't hand made by an artisan? Is it some slight against Duke Ellington that he wasn't selected to write and record the hold music you hear when you call your doctors office? Feel bad for musicians why? They still get their royalties when someone plays their song. It's just they're not getting selected by an algorithm for random background music as often. How is that some wrongdoing against them?
Read the KB carefully.

1. Your windows pc doesn't have a SecureEnclave (tpm2.0 doesn't count!) so no, you can't do PassKey recovery only password recovery.

2. You can only do iCloud recovery to another Mac/iOS device. In other words, not your windows PC. Hope you have a spare Macbook hiding out.
"surprising experts", LOL

It was clear ever back when the Dutch decriminalised weed that its normalisation led to youth not being that much interested any more, and so it was everywhere else where weed was legalised decades later.

But hey, just because the Dutch have had decades of experience, the rest of the world still isn't able to learn from them.

It's time to end the war on drugs, once and for all. And DARE etc can go and die in a hellfire where it belongs.

> The initial drop in drug use between 2020 and 2021 was among the largest ever recorded.

No surprise, with the world in lockdown and most schools in lockdown it was harder to get drugs, and meeting up to consume drugs could in many countries lead to a knock on the door or even a raid from the police - it happened quite the surprising amount of times in Germany.
I'm not in SV and was trying to think of ways it had harmed me personally.

I haven't really been affected by any of the above. Maybe the app store thing a bit as I wrote an app and dealing with Apple was hard work. But then I wouldn't have been able to make an app without some company making the device for me to do it on.

Re society, I grew up pre internet and I'd say there are pros and cons. On the plus side you have access to the world's information and video and text communication for free across the planet which you didn't have before. On the minus side that's led to people spending a lot of time staring at their devices and less interacting with each other. Nothing's perfect I guess.
they say it isn't AGI but i think the way o3 functions can be refined to AGI - it's learning to solve a new, novel problems. we just need to make it do that more consistently, which seems achievable
Galbraith's advice: "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

Still, I'm really looking forward to the next earnings call. What's the future now? The lame robot?
An old quote, quite famous: "... is like saying that an ape who climbs to the top of a tree for the first time is one step closer to landing on the moon".
The issue of communicating something in a universal language to an unknown audience reminds me of the cover diagrams on NASA’s Voyager golden records. In that case, the challenge is the density of information that needs to be packed, as opposed to the simplicity and clarity of a radioactive sign (“here’s precisely how to read the contents of this record” vs. “you will die if you come close”)

Nope, women are getting less conservative and this applies to them too.

> Conservatives generally have more negative attitudes to drug use

That is categorically false.

I think it would be interesting to look at whether the rate of physical / sexual abuse has changed, since that's significantly correlated with use of hard drugs.
Oh sweet jesus, the preprocessor? Go away.
Mozilla is an adtech company now (https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/18/mozilla_buys_anonym_b...) and by default they now collect everyone's browsing history, track what you're doing online, then give that information to third parties who use it to deliver reports to marketers.
they can't do what we do therefore they aren't what we are
I guess the question is whether it’s better to spread objectively and demonstrably false info today (as you are with the completely bogus Matrix 2.0 critique), versus me putting subjective info into a FAQ 10 years ago ;)

It might be worth considering that whining about Matrix is misdirected anger - it may be better off pointed at the proprietary centralised surveillance capitalism alternatives rather than us…
You also got older ... Age is a factor.
PyPI was always broken due to weird ideas for problems that were long solved in other languages or distributions. They had/have the backing of fastly.net, which created an arrogant and incompetent environment where people listed to no one.

Conda suffers from the virtual environment syndrome. Virtual environments are always imperfect and confusing. System libraries sometime leak through. The "scientific" Python stack has horrible mixtures of C/C++/Cython etc., all poorly written ad difficult to build.

Projects deteriorated in their ability to build from source due to the availability of binary wheels and the explosion of build systems. In 2010 there was a good chance that building a C project worked. Now you fight with meson versions, meson-python, cython versions, libc versions and so forth.

There is no longer any culture of correctness and code cleanliness in the Python ecosystem. A lot of good developers have left. Some current developers work for the companies who sell solutions for the chaos in the ecosystem.

Recommending (and running) `xattr -c` can be extremely dangerous. I would suggest withholding Mac releases until they can be distributed/run safely.
> young LGBTQ+ people are against learning from their elders

No, there's a missing generation. As (previously) one of those, my generation is now the "elders", and we had to learn in a strange, weirdly sheltered way. Our elders were dead or hiding. The topics were taboo, the representation garbage, and the content online? Often blocked in the place we had internet access.

I do a lot of teaching to my younger queer friends. Sometimes I have to do a lot of research on a topic before I can give an answer.

In addition, Swingers weren't talked about in any part of my growing up. It wasn't until as an adult I looked at my partner and said "Oh, they're having a key party" at an exhibit of a model 50s-era home in the midwest.

Thank you. What a wonderful app and beautiful design.
I agree but it is hard to explain to people what is a difference between a web app and what is 2-3 forms on a website.

Lots of complainants I read seem like people who would do all in plain html never worked on actual web app.

At the same time seems like JS stuff is overused in lots of places and a lot of React or Angular is done by people who want to have it on their CVs.
LSD is not a drug that you can develop an addiction to. Habit is one thing—some people take it regularly—but it doesn't work very well if you do take it frequently.

Which is not to say that LSD can't potentially be harmful. Of course it can. But it's not very analogous to the typically destructive drugs (alcohol, amphetamines, strong opiates) and it's not going to mess with your dopamine the way they do.
This isn't really meant to replace such things an environment where you have a rendering engine that supports CSS— I think demoing it on the page is more for showing off how portable it is with WASM. Off the top of my head, a few uses for this:

- Mapping components or structured document data with something like MDX or slate on to Clay components to render in different contexts outside the browser reasonably closely to what shows up in a browser preview, for example content for HUDs, in-world display panels or documents in games, or batch rendering printed documents

- Layout for UI where something like Electron or React Native would be overkill, or isn't supported
The economic theory answer is that people simply switch to jobs that are not yet replaceable by AI. Doctors, nurses, electricians, construction workers, police officers, etc. People in aggregate will produce more, consume more and work less.
I've had is persisting thought that, we as a society have been delaying adulthood, thus extending childhood, with each decade for a while. And we've now pushed it so far that the current cohort of teens simply are effectively young children on a social/emotion perspective making them unprepared to handle the stresses their age is exposing them to.

Good grief there seems to be no getting away from that woman. One of my ex girlfriends was fascinated by her but to me she is quite boring. If she wasn't fairly attractive, nobody would care about her banal ramblings.
Yes, Parker used gravity assists, several passes by Venus.

The cheapest way in terms of delta-v in the real solar system is actually to use Jupiter, launch to there and slingshot against your incoming velocity to cancel it out and drop towards the sun. Parker considered this, but decided not to because it would complicate the spacecraft design to handle operations at Jupiter (cold) and at the sun (hot).

And yes, without assists, it's harder to get from Earth to the sun than to anywhere else. Solar escape velocity is 42 km/s at the altitude of Earth's orbit. Earth's orbital speed is 30 km/s, closer to escape velocity than to the near-0 you would need to drop all the way to the sun.
setup.py allowed arbitrary things, but at least it always went through setuptools (or closely related predecessors, such as distribute or distlib). There is now pyproject.toml, but at the same time, there are tons of build backends that can do different things. And one of the most popular modern packaging tools, poetry, uses a non-standard section for the package data.
> It's not about expectation, but commitment.

I think this is the main point.

People nowadays don't want commitment, and when they have it they don't respect it anyway.

I think this attitude will sooner or later change back, when the bill will come due. Life is full of challenges and hardships, and having somebody you committed to and who's committed does help deal with stuff.

I think the raise in popularity of polyamory is largely a proxy measure for the raise in selfishness.
I'd love to hear about more. Which ones are you thinking of?
And then you have to deal with some case where you have to interop with something that uses a secure ciphersuite that your library doesn't support, and you block hard on that.

Yes, if you want a cryptography library for a greenfield project, then you want something tiny and simple and secure (e.g., libsodium). For other things you'll want a more complete library.

It goes beyond variables. At the minimum it's a name and a static or dynamic value, but it can also contain metadata, transforms, private/public attributes, formatting constraints...

You may not be aware (and 10 years late in trying to stop this), but this name has been very well received in the web design industry and frontend world and helps us build a community of craft to solve similar problems together.. so it looks like it's here to stay.
I actually document my code they way the article recommends. I even link to the documentation when new people get involved with the code base and most of the time they don't bother reading it.

My pet theory is that buying drugs requires a level of personal interaction that many young people now avoid.
Of course it is completely evaporated before hitting anything that remotely resembles a surface.

Yes but the idea was lost in the process. It became a faster transportation system that uses air as a medium, but that’s it. Personal planes are still either big business or an expensive and dangerous personal toy thing. I don’t think it’s the same for LLMs (would be naive). But where are promises like “we’re gonna change travel economics etc”? All headlines scream is “AGI around the corner”. Yeah, now where’s my damn postman flying? I need my mail.

> Is there some sort of cultural blind spot which prevents them from understanding that there are better ways to do things?

Yes, but it's not specifically British: most nations (and many companies) I've looked at in any depth seem to have this blind spot — "not invented here" is one of several kinds of in-group favoritism.

> I'm curious what would happen in your eyes if we misattributed general intelligence to an AI model? What are the consequences of a false positive and how would they affect your life?

Rich people will think they can use the AI model instead of paying other people to do certain tasks.

The consequences could range from brilliant to utterly catastrophic, depending on the context and precise way in which this is done. But I'd lean toward the catastrophic.
Hey, speak for yourself, buddy.

More seriously, I think there's ample historical evidence that drugs (with a liberal definition, beer, etc) are very popular across various times and places.
Taking Rollback from Hack Week project to production
There is also a corresponding decline in alcohol consumption.

One angle that hasn't been researched enough is the link to anti-anxiety and anti-depression medication. These has been a significant rise in the prescription of both to young adults: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/anxiety-prescripti...

And on these medications there are often severe interactions with alcohol and drugs which would be enough to frighten off most people. Some e.g. bupropion even reduce addictive tendencies entirely.
