Yeah, Jesse Singal is to transgender people what Andy Ngo is to anti-fascist activists. They want to get their mendacious asses kicked so that they can play the martyr. They're both assholes.
Yes, but, I'd argue it's trading one type of endless, tedious work for a different type of concrete, meaningful work.
The US Navy, like all parts of the DOD, knows that the best way to build support for any weapons system is to have part of it manufactured in a Congressman's district. The most unsinkable projects are built, little by little, in 435 districts.

So, yes, the shipyards need to be on the coast. But much of the material on the inside of the ship may be built elsewhere.
I'm 100% certain if you showed panels with stylised representations of entropy, arrows and spears to a random assortment of modern people with good general knowledge and access to every part of the internet apart from this subthread, you would get an extremely wide range of explanations about what the panels conveyed about an artefact and its surrounding location (absolutely none of which would be the correct response of "absolutely nothing, these panels are simply an illustration of which direction to read panels in")
There have been a couple of new houses built in the neighborhood, tearing down the existing homes.

And they are huge. One is next to a couple of quadplex (4x700sf apartments) and it dwarfs them.

One interesting design feature is the garage, it's fully half the building. It can hold a bus-sized RV and one more than one of those massive modern pickups. It's wasting a lot of space above the vehicles since there's no bonus room or storage up there.

I sort of agree. On the other hand, the outside on a waterfront in a northern US city is probably not going to be great for a good chunk of the year in any case.

> But it bothers me that people see the Arab Palestinian population as one incapable of accepting peace and driven by revenge or antisemitism

What do you think drives the Palestinian movement and what are its main goals? If it was simply to get their own state surely they could have achieved it by now (as far back as in 1947). So there seems to be much more going on than simply attaining statehood - there is a very strong irredentist force among Palestinians that wants to go back to the way things were 80 or a 100 years ago. Which means returning to their original homes (I don't see how you could do that without throwing out the Jewish 'colonists').

To me that does seem to be motivated at least partly by revenge. As for antisemitism among Palestinians, it's there and widely documented (you could come up with good reasons why it's there, but denying it's there is wrong).
thanks. I pay for miniflux through pikapods that I can now get rid of, thanks to your free and alternative offering.
I thought GPS was generic and NAVSTAR was the “brand”.
To be fair, the issue with the Box-3 is HA's implementation; I used it with heywillow.io and it was incredible, I could speak to it from another room and it would pick up perfectly.

The audio out is terrible so I wrote a shim-server that captures the request to the TTS server for heywillow and sent it to a speaker I build myself running MPD on a Pi with a nice DAC and have it play the responses instead of the box-3's tiny speaker.

I don't expect the audio-out on this to be much better with its tiny speaker, but at least it has a 3.5mm jack.

I'm going to look into what that Grove port can do too and perhaps build a new speaker "module" that the Voice PE can sit on top of to make it a proper music device.
They absolutely could, yes. That is not what I'm arguing at all, so I am perfectly happy to agree.

IMHO what drove a lot of the development of FOSS xNix, especially Linux -- which has thereby created a lot of the tools and apps and things that make the BSDs useful today -- was the desire to have a proper memory-managed protect-mode OS for personal desktop use.

That's why Xfce, GNOME, KDE, X.org and XFree86 before it, and a tonne of other FOSS projects exist.

The fact that occasionally some of this is also useful on servers is, I reckon, because so many people wanted their own personal UNIX workstation, using COTS kit.
This is exactly the challenge. Here in California wholesale solar plant sell power for 0.03-0.04 kwh. Cost at the meter is 0.45/kwh.

Rooftop is competitive with the meter price, but unless you can cut the cord entirely, connection fees and rates will just keep increasing proportionally
How is this new? I recall people talking about "personal branding" over twenty years ago. I disliked the notion then, and it hasn't grown on me over time.
For certain definitions of "conceivable" that all involve massive amounts of handwaving to get from big disaster to literally every human that speaks language died somehow and the handful left just can't put any of the pieces together from the bazillions of artifacts left over.

Sorry, I don't think there's any point in spending any time designing anything for that scenario (except as art or philosophy, but nothing practical). I feel like people are underestimating how resilient and embedded and redundant our society is at this point, and how very specific the scenario would have to be to lose everything yet humanity survives.
> The main difference between Gaza and other conflicts (such as Ukraine or Iraq) is that Hamas has and uses the willing (even if coerced) cooperation of the civilian population as part of its military strategy.

I find this IoW report of the situation a compelling expansion of that line of thinking[1], for anyone interested; excerpt:

> Hamas’ long-term effort to embed itself in Palestinian society and politics makes defeating and replacing it very difficult, but not impossible. Hamas’ combination of social services and outreach with coercive measures have ensured that Hamas retains significant support in Gaza relative to the very limited number of other entities that could replace it, despite the extremely destructive war that Hamas initiated. Hamas’ coercive apparatus makes it extremely difficult for possible Hamas alternatives in the Gaza Strip to begin to build their own governance system because to do so while Hamas remains militarily active risks near-certain death. It is not impossible to destroy Hamas’ political and military system, but doing so will require Hamas’ military defeat and a long transition to a new Palestinian-led government in the Gaza Strip.

I referred to it as "the woes" but yes I agree with your choice of words as well. As an experienced technology builder I generalize the struggles I vividly recall and it often involves parties not doing the real work and therefore they lack the comprehension of the details that are all that truly matters. This applies to a lot of things today, tech included, where most have no idea how anything works and the solution typically boils down to, did you power cycle it?
Yeah, so the pathological incentives to build bad products are just insane. It’s more evidence against the whole market-Darwinian hypothesis being good for the consumer. “Fitness” doesn’t equal (let alone define) product quality.
There it is again.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment and questions! I’m glad you find Cora Intelligence interesting—it’s been rewarding to work on a tool designed to make lead research less time-consuming and more efficient for sales teams. Let me address your points:
Accuracy of Data: We use AI to extract publicly available information from reliable sources, cross-referencing data where possible. While pricing or product availability can vary depending on how frequently businesses update their online presence, we continuously improve our algorithms to deliver the most accurate and current data.
Integration: Right now, Cora Intelligence works as a standalone tool, but integration with CRMs and sales workflows is definitely on our roadmap. We want users to seamlessly incorporate leads and insights into their existing tools like Salesforce or HubSpot to create a more unified experience.
Alternatives: While there are other lead generation tools like Apollo.io or ZoomInfo, Cora Intelligence stands out with its level of customization and the chatbot feature. Being able to request specific data fields and instantly retrieve more detailed information about a lead is something we’re proud to offer.
Customization for niche industries is one of our main focuses, and we’re excited to keep refining and expanding the tool. Thanks again for your interest—if you have any other thoughts or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
The Mac Pro is expensive enough that it takes it solidly out of the "consumer" arena and puts it into commercial/business customers. Those customers will take the time to investigate and determine what they need for the job.

You can see this by comparing the marketing around the F150 (a consumer pickup that is used by commercial/business customers) and the F650 - https://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/f650-f750/

There have been times where the Mac Pro dipped into the high end consumer market explicitly, but we're not in one of those times now.

(Do note that some consumers WILL buy "commercial" products and Apple's obviously aware of that, but I suspect it's hard to get them to recommend the Mac Pro to home users.)

I used andOTP for years, until the author stopped working on it. While it still likely works fine, I've switched to Stratum, which likewise supports import from the Google Authenticator export QR codes as well as from andOTP, authy, and others.
> I've always felt safety in coding. It was a comfortably logical, deterministic, and beautifully consistent refuge from the world of vague and ambagious reality. I also felt certain kinship to other programmers, it was my tribe. So I'm worried about this feeling of disconnect, a little bit.

This passage resonated with me. At a recent contract I saw some PRs from my team mates that I found baffling. But rather than comment on it or intervene for once I told myself to just ignore it. It's Chinatown, or something like that

I don't think you even bothered to read the sources you're quoting, and you're just trying to make baseless assertions.

The very first question on JetBrain's survey is "Which versions of Java do you regularly use?", and 50% answered Java 8 with around 2% mentioning Java 7 and 1% answering Java 6. On top of that, Java11 alone comprised around 38%.

And you're talking about Java21? It doesn't even register in the survey at all.

>removes any incentive not to have an incredibly long commute

The roads only have so much capacity which is not going to change much whether the cars are self driven or not.

In London they have deliberately reduced road capacity to reduce traffic by blocking off lanes, side streets and the like. I could see a future where the normal way to get around is a self driving cab to the station at each end with a train for the main journey. I know you can do that now but the human cabs driven are kind of expensive.

Maybe something a bit like Zermatt where there is a train station and then it's pedestrianized apart from electric golf cart like taxis. It all works quite well really apart from being expensive. But property being like £1m+ is kind of a symptom of people wanting to be there.

The glaring common denominator here is that the attacker has the ability to send an unprompted, unblockable request to the victim's phone. Pressing the safe-looking green button that shows up, even accidentally, is digital suicide.

Google Prompt is supposed to be a safety feature. The account recovery process lets a hostile actor turn Google Prompt into a loaded gun, and Google puts it directly into the victim's hand, aimed straight at their own head.

There's absolutely no way to shut off Google Prompt that doesn't involve removing every Google app from your mobile devices.
Yes, it was obvious that the icons are clickable, and I did see the color picker - but it was a very simple color picker, just a grid of color tiles. Now that you mention it, I realize that there is a second, more advanced color picker, available behind the "+" button in the first picker, and there I can type in hex. I am guessing that the features of the color picker are determined by the browser, and not by your site?

There is a new documentary coming out called The Village of Lovers, https://thevillageoflovers.com/. It is about a 40-year intentional polyamorous "free love" community called Tamera in Portugal.

Is there nothing troubling about the fact that the company who _decides_ what you're listening to decides that you only listen to their music? I didn't sign up for that. I use Spotify to find new artists so I can follow their artistic journey and see them in concert. Perhaps some folks see music as shallow background filler but for people like me who value its contributions to my mental health and a big part of my social interactions, this kind of thing just scoops the soul out of it all. I'll be canceling my subscription.
The glass box thing started here too: IM Pei's Hancock tower was one of the first, from the 1970s. And like many architectural wonders, the construction was crap. I can still remember going by and seeing all the boarded-up windows, because the glass kept falling out.
I was initially very excited because this data is not nearly as it should be, especially historical forecasts. However, your pricing model seems to seriously limit the potential uses.

I would imagine that most people who have a serious interest in weather forecasting and would be target users of this service don’t think in terms of number of points but rather in lat/lon bounds, resolution, and number of hours & days for the predictions. I imagine they would also like to download a GRIB and not a CSV.

Your pricing for any large enough area to be useful presumably gets somewhat prohibitive, eg covering the North Pacific (useful for West Coast modeling) at 0.25 deg resolution might be ~300k data points per hour if I am doing my math right?
If the data is important enough, e.g. bank accounts, there needs to be a backup to 2FA that is relatively painful - to make it resistant to attack - but not impossible.
Gaza is suffering much more - I never tried to say otherwise. I'm not sure what the point of this argument is anymore to be honest. It seems you can't or won't admit that Israelis are suffering quite a bit for some reason even if it pales in comparison to Gaza.

> you have to use numbers instead of line lengths

That's the whole point of Nodal; you represent musical patterns (and control flow) with graphical means. Entering numbers is close to Midi event lists and has little to do with Nodal's approach. Max/Pd are great tools, but focus on the processing and signal flow aspect (i.e. the machine which generates the music/noise), not the representation of the music.
This just feels like special pleasing. Why did Facebook get the timing exactly right and what was different about that time vs. a better understanding of user wants, well planned rollout and promotion strategy that created desire to have it, and not being too greedy.

The last sentence is key. A quality dev can do all the work required to make par with 5-10 hours of work a week. They can be happy if the salary is good enough and they approach it from a "don't care, getting paid" mindset. However, if they're forced to be in an office instead of remote, where they can do as they please with an extra 25-30 hours a week vs. a standard job, they will be miserable.

Breaking the Status Quo
For reference, and not implying it's better or worse than your work OP, I've pleasantly used Fraidycat (https://fraidyc.at/) in the past. It's a webextension, so completely local, and also incorporates the idea of having a "calmer" experience: no infinite list of links to check, different update rates, ...

I love your philosophy page, OP ! (https://jamesg.blog/2024/11/30/designing-a-calm-web-reader/)
My experience with `prompt=login` is also mixed. Okta's behavior does not indicate which account you're logging into (no username/email address), and only asks to re-input your password. They have a "Back to sign in" link button, but that loses all OAuth context and does not lead you back into the app you're attempting to OAuth into, unless if you specifically override that button to hit Okta's logout endpoint and with a redirect back to your OAuth authorize endpoint/session.

It's janky. And I would know because we had to implement that at work.
It's a shame it's been getting no updates, I noticed that, but their secret sauce is all open stuff anyway so just replace them with the upstream components; their box-3 firmware and the application server is really the bit they built (as well as the "correction" service).

If it wasn't fast or accurate for you, what were you running it on? I'm using the large model on a Tesla GPU in a Ryzen 9 server, using the XTTS-2 (Coqui) branch.

The thing about ML based STT/TTS and the reasoning/processing is that you get better performance the more hardware you throw at it; I'm using nearly £4k worth of hardware to do it; is it worth it? No, is it reasonable? Also no, but I already had the hardware and it's doing other things.

I'll switch over to Assist and run Ollama instead now there's some better hardware with on-device wake-word from Nabu.
OK, fair enough.

In hindsight I tend to think that the admittedly strong demand for flat memory, and the reduction in use of CPU protection rings, segments and so on, was taking a high-level view a huge mistake from which we have yet to recover.

But yeah, from everything I read at the time, as PCs became serious tools able to run serious apps, programmers hated segments.

Outside of that world, though, OSes like SCO Xenix and MWC Coherent made good use of the 286. It was actually very capable.

Before that, in the early days of the 8088/8086, I think there was some value in the segment model for how it facilitated bringing across CP/M apps. When I got started in this industry, the 1980s DOS world was still dominated by modern versions of apps that originated on CP/M, which were in the late '80s just getting displaced by a new generation of much more powerful DOS apps designed for a PC with the full complement of 640kB of RAM and a hard disk.

So, things like:

* dBase II (CP/M) -> dBase III (PC and DOS)

* WordStar 2/3 (CP/M) -> WordStar 3/4, 2000, etc. (PC and DOS)

* SuperCalc (CP/M) -> SuperCalc 5 (PC and DOS) -- a late resurgence.

... were supplanted by tools like FoxPro or Clipper, WordPerfect, and Lotus 1-2-3.

Yeah, too much overthinking. The comic panels are great actually. The problem with specifying order can be solved pretty simply by adding one panel with the person as a baby. Or show a seed, then a small tree, then the tree fully grown, then the person enters.

You can also add arrows. I think arrows are probably understandable across cultures.
This is mostly the case from imports, though, isn't it? Anything you import rather than buy locally is money leaving the country. That seems to be by far the bigger effect if that's what you're concerned about. Ireland's situation, if I understand it correctly, is still to pull corporation tax from Amazon sales in Europe, just at a lower rate. So Ireland is going to be a massive net beneficiary, even if you only take into account the corporation tax paid by Amazon and not the larger effects (other taxes; infrastructure investment; etc).
Tell me more about this 2D pixel blitter engine
I was super obsessed with this for a while! When you have a string instrument tuned in 4ths, there are 2D patterns that emerge which you can use to "derive" or "extrapolate" what a scale shape/pattern will look like across the whole neck

Using a 6-string bass as an example:
https://bradleyfish.com/the-notes-on-the-6-string-bass-guita...

You can find a 2D pattern in the white notes (green notes in the pic) that you can use to understand how the pattern will extend from a given point. For example notice EF+BC always appear in the same 2x2 box shape. Also how those boxes repeat in a diagonal line, and how boxes are connected vertically by a "strip" of 3 notes ADG

The only difference for guitar is that you have to correct for the G/B strings which are separated by a 3rd instead of a 4th, by scooting the pattern on the B+E strings up by one fret
