I liked this, but I feel like it glosses over a significant dynamic that discolors both sides of the mono/poly split, which is "people not living the life they want".

Not that it's literally "coercive" -- they're not being forced to be in that relationship in any real sense. But the dynamic I often observe (well, infer from observations) is that a person would really like to monogamous or polyamorous (or a different kind of polyamorous---just, they want to be in a different status) but feels they aren't allowed to assert what they want from their partner(s), and a result is being somewhat "degraded" by the status of their relationship. They may even believe they are happy with everything, because it's the best thing they can feel they can get, but often (I suspect) there's an arrangement they would be much happier with, if they could bring themselves to insist on it.

After all a person ought to aspire to be physically and emotionally secure enough to assert what they need from their partners, even if that risks the partner leaving them, and they ought to be able to find partnerships in which their partner respects them enough to compromise or negotiate if it is something they truly need.

But I suspect a lot of people aren't there, and being mono/poly is often a "workaround": if you don't believe you can fully assert the relationship you want, sometimes you can get half of it by becoming monogamous/polyamorous instead even if it's not truly your preference. And maybe that lets you avoid the issue, sometimes for years. But it's never as as good as being able to get what you truly want.

(Occasionally I mention this vibe to people and they react negatively---"who are you to question other people's decisions?", they say. And at one level they're right, because yes, everyone out there is pretty much day-to-day making the best decision they can see to make for themselves, so if they're coping with their world by being in a certain kind of relationship, it's not really our place to doubt them.

But on the other hand, you can sense when someone is not living their best life, whether it be living the relationship they want or having the job / friends / beliefs / sexuality / gender that they want. You can't be sure, but these things do show a bit through cracks in the way that people talk and act. So I think it's fair to observe this phenomenon and speculate about it, so long as you never push anyone to "admit" to it, or to change before they're ready.)

AirLuggages!
The license aside, the question is what can be done with a carefully arranged blob of binary? Without additional software (Windows) I can't really do anything with Photoshop.exe. Similarly, Llama.gguf is either useful, with Ollama.app, or not, standing alone. So (looking past the difference in license), would you consider Photoshop.exe similar in that it's a binary blob that's useless by itself, or is it a useful collection of bytes, and why is/is not an ML model available on hugging faces the same?
Why can't the AirTag simply report its battery status and warn the user e.g. through a nearby iPhone?

This is another case of bad UX by a company praised for its great "product design skills".
I suspect you're being downvoted based on the "purpose of life is reproduction" piece, but I hope people are aware that this part about studies showing that in general Poly parenting leads to worse outcomes for children is spot on

Poly relationships tend to be complicated, and children are not capable of understanding all of the nuance of ethical poly relationships, nevermind the many variations of non-ethical poly relationships. It tends to lead to people who have really screwed up ideas about relationships and attachment issues.

Note that this is not me saying that ethical poly relationships are inherently screwed up. What I'm saying is that from the outside perspective of an immature child, who will likely then go on to mimic what they see modelled without understanding it, that child is going to have screwed up ideas about relationships
For me, libsodium has one problem... grr... not exactly problem, but peculiarity, which is not mentioned in docs anywhere.

libsodium doesn't put any metadata (including library and/or construction "version") in any its results, like boxes, keys, etc. So, there is no mechanism for versioning and backward compatibility.

So, it is so-so Ok for real time communication between two installations of software product (and even then two ends could have different versions of software and/or library used!), but it is not suitable for long-time storage or communication between different systems.

You store your "boxed" backup [keys] on disk. You want to read it 15 years later. How could you be sure, that libsodium didn't change algorithms in these 15 years? You need exactly same version of library that created this "box".

And even application which is aware of this problem could not properly solve this: it could record & check libsodium version and refuse to work with "old" data, but how could it enforce future libsodium to read product of old one, as there is no any provision for this in API?

libsodium is too simple for many tasks.
Wow what a toxic attitude. The worst part is acting like this constant crunch time is a normal and reasonable expectation. I'll also call out the derision towards "keeping the lights on" because, of course, keeping the damn lights on is a prerequisite to any kind of growth. Code Yellow doesn't tell people "hey it's not important that the site stay up, just focus on growth instead". It tells people "what you are doing 9-5 to keep the site up is not enough, spend your 5-9 working on this other initiative as well". Evil.
Disgust is an interesting response to this experience.

I encourage you to reframe your thoughts in "is they consenting adults?" and then "is this hurting anyone?" if the answers are "yes they're adults and they're not hurting anyone", I encourage you to mind your own business :)

Gay people aren't "shoving things in your face" when they kiss, or can be seen holding hands, or have representation in a book or movies because the author wanted to represent themselves in the media any more than straight people are "shoving things in your face" when they kiss, or can be seen holding hands, etc. Equally, non-monogamous people aren't shoving anything in your face by existing in a way that makes them happy and affirmed. Disgust over other people's choices and lives and the subsequent attempt to squelch that is very anti-liberty.
It does do that already. The author likely ignored the notifications repeatedly until it died.
Train conductor's bilingual morning greeting raises hackles in Belgium
Interesting how they comment streamers and influencers as a critical success for neovim.
Everyone that I know who uses vim/neovim learned it from a coworker, friend, or was forced to at some point (job, class).

I think I found out about neovim from hacker news and started using it. My neovim config was the same as my vim config for 5 years, now it’s fully using neovim plugins and 100% in lua.

I guess I’m from a different generation but I find code streamers and dev influencers to be extremely fake, cringe, and inauthentic. I don’t know how anyone would do what they say, but I guess it works.
damn, so good
That's easy to fix. Just carry a pocket full of 2032s, and offer to swap out the beeping tags near you. For a small nominal fee, of course. Or just for free for the sake of humanity or just your own sanity.
i like your use of modal. if more people understood that criminality follows power law distribution, we would have better policy.
True. "Small" can mean many millions of dollars.
We're beyond engaging in these discussions as if they're in good faith.

there is the problem. regardless of who is right or who is actually arguing in good faith, if you stop assuming good faith from someone then you are yourself no longer listening to what others have to say nor making a constructive contribution.

i am adressing this to all participants in an argument. the reality is that all sides are guilty of this and if we want to effect any kind of change this behavior or attitude must stop.

start listening to each other and try to actually understand what each others concerns are, and then work together to address them.

across the world opposing parties are just fighting each other, blaming any problems on others instead of cooperating to actually solve problems.

Bit of a weird “gotcha” this to be honest, but I don’t use my Quest all that often and the AVP is too expensive for my taste.
Same, been using a MX Vertical daily for almost 5 years now and, aside from flaking off the finish in some places, it works perfectly fine. Battery life is pretty good as well, I think I can avoid using a cable for months
This one has been popular for a decade IMO. I remember playing with it in college. To my mind this is the viral one and there are some additional knock offs.

I am a NCO in the reserve. I am speaking from experience and I can add that I am not arguing I am smart and others are stupid.

Note, that my emphasis is on the system that make people behave strange.

It is somewhat ironic too, since being a soldier exposes you to so many practical and different problems that are so different each time that there is no room to be actually stupid.

And I am not talking about combat, but mundane stuff like, tying a rope between two trees to hang wet cloths on. In normal life people that would fail at stuff like this can get routine and hide that they can't do such tasks without messing up, but soldiers do so much different things that they don't get routine and if you are a bit off you are exposed.

If you are the kinda guy that can tie ropes between trees to dry cloths on, the military structure makes you behave like you would have been "stupid" in many situation that only is a problem because you lack power.

So Soviet or American sailors, that wanted booze but had no way to get it, solved it in the way they could. In civilian life they could just not have put them self in the situation where they couldn't buy booze.

Hazing is maybe a big problem since you are locked in with some jocks you can't escape since the front gate is guarded by MP.

Simple as that. The limitations make you stupid.
There are other precautions: the job application has to be mailed to a physical address and can easily get "lost", the requirements for the position are numerous and peculiar (the #1 in the old times used to be fluency in a foreign language, but DOL/USCIS eventually got tired of that one, still, since the requirements are for a particular person, it can be any random mix of skills, all of which are hard requirements), and the interview process itself is not designed to pass anyone as the person, on whose behalf the PERM is being filed, won't be interviewing. One would be spending time much more productively applying to real vacancies. The only winning play here is to go through the process and sue the company to get some pain and suffering judgment, which I have not heard being successfully done (but I don't really follow this closely so I could be just ignorant).
You could have said that 20 years ago. I've never needed to worry about clock cycles or cache locality, I don't even know how to measure cache misses in my code (I have a CS degree too). And the most consideration I give to memory consumption is whether to process data in a stream, or in memory.

It's absolutely the case that some developer still need to care about those things, but by the time I started my career 20+ years ago, it was possible to make a good career as a dev who didn't know how to work with computers at an extremely low level.

I'm from Canada where we have legal assisted death, something I would vote for over and over again, as I think most Canadians would. I don't eat much meat personally, but it's more a ecological environmental thing vs an animals thing. Things live, things die, that is life, oh well. :)
> I mean, hey, everything can be a single HTML file if you embed the bundle inline in your HTML!

Yes, they could be. And then they would have the same super power is this file: you can put it on a flash drive and run it anywhere with no setup or installation.
Agreed on the trade-off. And there are some absolutely 1000% winning use cases (lost cats, lost dogs, lost luggage). However, lets look at the constraints and outcomes:

- Me or other people need to be around (since airtags jump off others' devices)

This removes use cases like tracking lost marine goods, tracking lost drones, etc.

- Item being tracked has to be big enough to be worth the extra size/weight of the long life battery wrapper

This removes most common use cases like wallets, remotes, etc.

- Item being tracked has to be something you actually lose w/o wrongdoing. Makes sense for backpacks, purses, parked cars.

But, most capital equipment wouldnt be "lost" it would be stolen, so that is out.

That's terrible advice unless it's tied to local energy storage.

When every roof and every solar panel is angled the same way, a sudden cloud (or a sudden lack of clouds) can cause huge fluctuations in power output. Diversity is protective.

Over the years I've come to like HTTP. It's mostly text-based, but you can send arbitrary binary data through it. The request-response pattern is a decent match for a world where most computers have no clue where they are, need help learning their own IP address, and are stuck behind trapdoor firewalls anyway, so the only really usable case is to reach out to a well-known server at a well-known address and ask it to do something.

Of the whole web stack, HTML is the only part I've consistently hated since the big web revolution that started around 2007. It's just such a piece of shit. JS got faster and TS redeemed it substantially. HTML still sucks.
That concept encompasses a ton of gray area. For example, did the ancestors of the person you are stealing from enslave your ancestors? Or more simply, are you or your children going to go hungry?

At the limit, the rule is always might makes right. Until then, the question is how much are you willing to give up to re-order the status quo? (A reordering that may or may not end up in your favor)

This is precisely how an AirTag works. It reports its battery status[1] via a notification to the user on an iPhone.

That's probably up to whatever the couple thinks, and has no universally correct answer

It just seems absurd to suggest that a monogamous couple who has one single threesome, one time, and then never again, is now "non-monogamous" forever
This guy is bad at his job.
Only issue is that when you get what you want, you might be convincing your partner(s) to settle for something they want less. Perhaps the mindset of "best I can get" and finding an acceptable compromise is the way to go.
It's easier to do nothing (already available status codes) then to do something, isn't it? Developers are awful at following consistent approach.
Yep - there's already a working group in the Keycloak community aligning with various standards. In our case, the Cybersecurity Fabric is the component that handles ownership, secure portability and revocation.
> but children need the stability of long term committed parents

You can have long-term, committed throuples, just fine.
I hate that at times, it feels I'm postponing the same outcome.

I was able to come back to 30mg Vyvanse daily, 50mg made me super impatient, fight with my gf and just be short-tempered with everyone, plus the productivity window was always reducing after some time.

But even at 30mg, it's just not the same effect as 14 years ago of course, and taking breaks can only do so much. Now 30mg feels like enough just for getting out of bed and doing a normal day.

Low dose (25mg) sertraline for a few months fixed the temper thing. Good sleep is a must. Still finding a way to take it easy and reduce the stimulant further, I'm still able to engage on technical things deeply that interest me and live my life fine, but I'm not cut out for the stress of a more senior position, not unless I start to make compromises, so that's not the avenue I'm pursuing at least.

I do have ADHD, diagnosed as a kid and the pattern worsened in college until I started treatment, if that matters.
Important nit:
It's best to refer to the GLP-1 medication semaglutide for obesity as Wegovy. Ozempic isn't for obesity but it may cause some weight loss as a side-effect because it's for diabetes and it's a lower dose. Wegovy is the dosage and product for obesity. Medicare covers Ozempic but not Wegovy.
Oh, huh, missed that one. I see VW AG is backing off _slightly_ on their war on buttons, anyway, though it still looks very touchscreen-y.
> One of my own pet peeves in Forged In Fire was that every contestant would submit Damascus (-style) blades for their final showdowns. It just wasn’t necessary and often just looked trashy.

Agreed. There was a much smaller emphasis on Damascus steel in early seasons. If you go back and rewatch you can see the frequency pick up as they praised and required Damascus more and more.
Why is `any` allowed at all? Enable strict mode, set up your linter, don't allow any implicit or explicit `any` anywhere.

Without this, Typescript is next to useless. Not knowing if the types are good is worse than no types at all.
I think people just focus on problems entirely within their own domain and rarely branch out to anything else. The amount of times I've had to explain to senior devs of 20+ years how DNS works at a very simple level would astound you, which is something that I would assume should be picked up if not by learning, through sheer osmosis, but you'd be surprised. If you lack a formal education, and maybe went through a bootcamp - which there's nothing wrong with - you may not know a lot of things that would surprise this author.
I think this comes down to the Huggingface libraries defaulting to downloading the model from HF if they cannot locate the weights - so "make your own text classifier" tutorial notebooks default to bert-based-uncased as a "standard" pretrained encoder you can put a classification head on top of and finetune, and in turn people run them in Google Colab and just download another copy of the weights on startup, which counts towards the total
Beyond what the others have said about 1) ModernBERT-base being 149M parameters vs BERT-base's 110M and 2) most LLMs being decoder-only models, also consider that alternating attention (local vs global) only starts helping once you're processing longer texts. With short texts, local attention is equivalent to global attention.
I'm not sure what length was used in the picture, but GLUE is mostly pretty short text.
> 94bn in Europe (presumably mostly-EU)

I think that's a big assumption.

The iPhone doesn't have a particularly large market share in the EU, it's just not that popular. "Europe" also includes other nations and regions, eg. the UK and the Middle East. Many of those nations also feature the iPhone having a large market share, despite them potentially being a "poorer" nation.

The UK, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc all have larger iPhone penetration in their population. The UK + Russia + Saudi have a similar collective population to Germany, France, and Italy, but each also feature a higher iPhone usage per capita than the EU.

So I think it stands to reason that the EU probably features heavily in that number, but is certainly closer to half of it.

This seems correct, all the happy poly people I know don’t have kids. The ones that do have kids seem to struggle more (a similar level as being a single parent but obviously in different ways).
The first cars were also electric, it’s not groundbreaking technology. Remember the bar here is on the order of flying cars. Only computers come close to clearing that for me.
To spend the other 400 minutes learning something new, right?
I had another dev mix up "object" and "response" and say "JSON response" in reference to a request that sent JSON. I asked 2 or 3 times, "Response to _what_?" before figuring it out. That still lives in my head.
Is this newsworthy though? The war was definitely a huge miscalculation, and Zelenskyy showing calculated disrespect has been a part of the dog-and-pony show since the beginning. Heck, some people are even starting to write "russian" with lower-case R to structurally disrespect Russia.

Will that help? I dunno, maybe. I can't help but wonder if maybe it will blow up though.
AI chatbot example, you're chatting and then there could be some Mark down, latex, images maybe base64 encoded webp, audio files, we can type all this stuff do all the validations and such, understand it better and there's some gains to be had doing that, then likely someone like Facebook comes along with this Giant byte Transformer expert system with all of the data specific optimisations, that's kind of the bitter lesson but I guess the main point is that the problem itself of how to best communicate with AI is not necessarily solved so you can get bogged down typing the best possible ways to do it but it's a moving target.

Same with a lot of systems like say a search system that tracks data using the best embedding, well we don't know what that best embedding is in terms of price performance and encoded knowledge perf it's just a moving target.

Send me the system that tracks important metrics effecting the stock market, or a weather system etc... the sensors are all updating and then an entirely new thing comes along like Starlink that helps us track the weather in totally new ways
Not unless they first removed the other part of the license for this mirror, which to me it seems the MIT license allows you to do. That said, I don't think most want to use open source under a loophole. So such a mirror isn't that likely to take off.
I am trying to come up with a counter argument but gave up. Since you are correct.

Is it fine if a waive my hands around and say "complexity"?
