Hyundai does not have the track record Tesla does. The best part about Tesla is the buying experience. While Musk's personal conduct is less than desirable, doing business with a dealership affects me far more.
> short stories generated by GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 to train LMs that are smaller

The loop of development is fascinating:

Millions of humans write literature, Wikipedia, etc.

Large language models are trained on that body of work.

Now large language models generate training data for small language models.

What's the next iteration? A talking Buzz Lightyear toy with one of those small language models that'll teach (human) infants to talk?
Understanding than being rich was never the answer, community and sense of purpose is.

You can be a rich asshole.

And you can "just get by" but be the most loved grand-father the earth has borne.
True- I don't think they are likely to specifically exhibit the drug like toxicity that some other plastics are responsible for, but you are right that doesn't rule out other potential issues from a small, hydrophobic, physical object.

I'm not 100% sure HDPE is safe- and if not it might depend on how it is used, but I am less concerned about it than a lot of other plastics.
As a matter of public choice theory I think that over the long haul it is better to trust MTG than to imply expansive powers for unelected administrative staff. I think those delegations are often quite good, but best when construed narrowly.
Seems like you two should help each other out!

Whoah I did not know that and it directly conflicts with their TOS. Do you have a link to that?
You are completely wrong though. There's a large body of work dating back decades pointing to BMR increasing with exercise.

At first I was confused as how autossh was relevant here, since it seemed like a supervisor for the ssh process (from https://github.com/Autossh/autossh). Then I realized that you are probably running ssh (reverse) tunnels. If that works for you, I don't think you should change!

With others, I think its a mixed bag, in no particular order:

* in my experience, opening up new connections in SSH is somewhat slow (compared to QUIC and ngrok). I believe this was due to how SSH verifies each new stream.

* connet (and others that use UDP based protocols) don't experience the TCP head of line blocking issue. This might not be an issue necessarily, especially if you have a good, consistent connection between peers.

* some of the other tools provide much richer interface (compared to raw SSH), like traffic inspection and modification, different security properties, etc

* connet (and others) does allow multiple destinations and sources binding on the same name, so you can have multiple clients talking to a clustered service

This is it off the top of my mind. Thanks for checking connet out!
They are unrelated. You can have purpose and fulfillment regardless of your wealth. A life of pain and misery are not required.
The point is that they are already effectively making their own laws through DMCA 1201 being a loophole that allows them to negate constitutional rights and fair use. So making DRM void copyright would be still an improvement over current status quo.

But I agree, DRM should just be illegal in the first place.
> They catch Proxy usage by using exceptions and analyzing the stacktrace

That is really clever, I am guessing this is why various browser automation companies are using custom forks of Chromium.
The FSF question is about templates, but the chrome extension in question also seems to have copied nontrivial JS.

I don't think chrome extensions can be modified by the user; there's probably some integrity check. So to be GPL compliant they need to publish source files to rebuild the extension?
By that logic, why care about accomodating anyone with a disability? Your site works for 95% of people, why care about those who need to use screen readers?

And before you say "that's their choice," you're the one who is breaking the functionality. Nothing about using a VPN or linux or Firefox creates any problem for TCP/IP or https.

His attention span won't be enough to stick with physics for longer than 4 weeks.. he should just apply his skills in building companies to hire a couple of people to work on cool stuff that he is excited about. A good approach is to find some smart grad students at a local university who are in electrical engineering probably since you have to know lots of physics to get there and say "hey i have some money, want to build some cool prototypes?" and the best part is you can just ask those grad students how all this physics stuff works and they will happily tell you whatever you want to know.
> Even if you decide to check-in the generated code for visibility.

I prefer checking it in by default (generated and checked in by users; CI failing if re-generation during the build generates diff).

It enables much simpler debugging collaboration ("do you have diff in the gen/ dir when you try to repro this bug? I don't."), mistaken-checkin prevention ("did you accidentally run protoc on the wrong version before adding files to this commit? CI's failing because it sees changes in gen/ without changes to requirements or .proto files") and easier verification of upgrades just like this one.

With the ability to use .gitattributes to suppress generated diff visibility by default widely supported (if not well-standardized) across Git repo management platforms, the drawbacks of checking in generated sources are minimal.
I think they were insinuating, with no basis, that Autodesk is for some reason keeping the removed posts in their own offline/intranet backup. They could've also been thrown off by the PR speak the Autodesk employee who announced this used, in which they called it "archiving" but also said "we cannot keep the content" (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/community-announcements/commu...).
Yes, feels like the invisible hand selects people to get rich based on how unfulfillable they are and thus how likely they are to keep working after they get rich.

I understand this serves an inflation control mechanism in our highly unequal system. The wealthy have comparatively so much money that the system cannot afford them to spend like normal people would. It would put too much currency in circulation and cause massive inflation. The system needs the wealthy to keep investing in ventures to create more busy-work, filled with NPCs and insatiable people who will also create more busy-work if they get rich.

The system needs to keep the money circulating in a very tight loop. Its journey from the money printer back to government hands needs to be very short in order to allow the government and corporations to retain the increasing degree of control that they need to maintain the status quo.
That's a great approach.
> I don't use Mac but what's wrong with the default?

Nothing, it works great. As someone who tried a bunch of alternatives: sorry but it's a waste of time unless you look at the long list of iterm2 features (terminal.app has many of them anyway) and think you might use those often (I don't, quite happy with my other apps covering for most of the features missing from the terminal.app): https://iterm2.com/features.html
Wealth only makes it hard to figure out what to do with your life if you believe wealth is a goal.

Wealth is something that removes obstacles to figuring out what to do with your life. If you had "being wealthy" as the goal itself, no wonder you're now feeling aimless. Instead, you should have been living your life, and now you'd think "great, now I can continue doing what I've been doing, except I don't need to worry about money".

Work shouldn't be your life. At most, work should be an interesting thing you do for the challenge, and which you'd do even if you weren't getting paid to.
I switched to FreeCAD 2-3 years ago. It suits me just fine and I'm so glad I can store my project in a local folder. I also don't have to worry Fusion360 taking any more features away or locking me out. I also don't have to beg them to renew my licence every year.

FreeCAD has improved a lot recently.

MangoJelly has also done massive work creating thorough video tutorials:

It's in the comprehensive financial statement for Longmont, which I pulled up looking to see the economics of your muni fiber system (I'm on the local commission in my muni that considers stuff like this, and the numbers didn't make sense for us --- but you're in an exurb, so the math is different.)
Excellent! Find 5 people who need your help, advice and funds and give them both, but slowly. You will enjoy it.

I almost wrote young people, but any will do, if they are stuggling and are confused where you have clarity, you can be of immense help.

Rivian and Tesla's trucks are pretty similarly priced, no?
If you search in google with a time-qualifier you'll probably get better results, especially for 'current-event stuff (but it works with nearly anything!)

do your search on Google, then click "Tools" then click the dropdown box which says "any time" and select either a generic time from the picklist or click "custom range" and specify your own date range.

The above works really well for cutting out SEO BS, and it's a great method to get past propaganda or whatever topic & opinion is being pushed (for example: if you search "Haitian Cat" you will get a bunch of results from biased media pushing an agenda - all about September 15, 2024.. however, if you set the time-qualifier end date to "Sep 01, 2024" , bam your results are cleared up!)

more options:
- use a different search engine (this one is paid with a trial - people say it's worth it!): https://kagi.com/

- I use a bookmark manager called raindrop.io - it makes offline copies, indexes , and allows you to tag things (among many other features). Sites which you come across that are especially cool or useful, tag "news source" or "source"- then, when you're looking for stuff - start there. It's a bit of a habit to be cognizant and on the lookout for 'cool sites' but once the ball is rolling it's super easy. This in itself isn't an exact solution but is a great way to build your own reference of sites you appreciate - and much more than a normal bookmark manager which simply saves the title of the page & URL.

- try an AI like perplexity which searches the internet and cites every statement it makes. It will probably cite reddit though-- maybe there's a way to prevent that.

I've been avoiding reddit for years and when it's brought up (especially professionally) I ask for alternative cites / sources.
I have, unfortunately, upgraded to Windows 11. As far as I can tell, it's Windows 10 but worse in a number of ways. It sucks. My first several hours with Windows 11, I was constantly sending a friend things that had changed for the worse.

I don't think there are any user-facing improvements that Windows 11 brings, which really isn't a surprise.
You missed the point. Number of stars doesn't indicate anything about whether a particular tool is better (and never did). If you're using stars for that purpose then you're doing it wrong. Find another solution.
Fixed. Thank you very much.
You should do as you want ofc but I don't trust anything that hasn't been proven toxic.

If they make a fine wine or a quality beer and put it in plastic (or something coated with plastic) I can't take the company seriously.

Tomatoes are the worse I hear because of their acidity. In the store there is a whole wall of canned tomatoes and plastic bottles. Non of the more expensive brands use it. The Tupperware comes out of the microwave all red? It even looks unappetizing.

If you can choose why go with the experiment? I'd pick the silverware over the plastic utensils every time.
Yeah, the reality is, our industry produces a lot of garbage right now. That wouldn’t change.

Still, there are people who care about quality, and some of them also share their work with others. Those people would exist regardless of whether there is copyright or not. The only difference is, we won’t have LICENSE files anymore.
You could make art, perhaps? Some people find that helps with developing purpose beyond the immediate.
I am using both at the moment, but iTerm has many, many features missing in ghostty. Most of them are not huge, but overall that’s a lot of paper cuts. Ultimately I wish both will stick around. Both have good ideas and I’d like them to keep evolving.
Being able to tell if something doesn’t need to be updated is a separate question. There’s many signs such as lacking external dependencies, but the point is such software exists not that there is an easy heuristic for finding it.

I think the best examples are the reference implementation of some algorithm. There’s generally room for improvement, but keeping it simple is the point.
Interesting do it actually runs that's cool vs. a hyper visor which idk the difference but yeah
I hear that Coach Jake also can help a lot ;)

for real though
Same - I'm at about 20 years give or take.

It also has every feature known to exist in this space.

I agree though that the world is moving in the way of tmux - I'll get around to switching occasionally.
The human mind is able to move atoms around. Chiefly by means of human hands.
It is a bit slow, though.
I haven't looked super hard, but an iTerm feature I "gotta have" is triggers - regexps that match lines of text in the terminal and do an action.

You can do some complex stuff with them, but I "just" use them to highlight specific things when tailing output. Some of it might be possible with grep, but probably not
Something that would be fulfilling to one man might seem useless or boring to another.
> NPC coworkers

I very much dislike the trend of calling other people NPCs.

When you feel tempted to see someone else as an NPC, it might be helpful to remember the concept of "sonder":

> the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

Something I always try to remember that has really served me well, from when I grew up dirt poor to eventually having success, is that life is hard for everyone in different ways and more often when I assume how easy or hard someone has it, I’m wrong.
Yeah, but the used car salesman's explicitly disincentivised to tell you the downside. An LLM is agnostic to the outcome. It's only incentive is to produce an output.

A correct analogy here would be your distant uncle who knows about cars. He doesn't really care whether you buy it or not. He only cares he imparts some information which is helpful.
> I do get the impression that multi-threaded Python code is full of hazards that the GIL covers up.

It was a design goal of free-threading that any race condition which can occur in pure python code without the GIL must have already been possible on the same code with the GIL. To achieve that, they added various locks which fix cpython primitive operations that were only threadsafe because of the GIL. That's why single-threaded execution is slower without the GIL.

However, it's possible there were races which were very unlikely with the GIL that are much more likely now, e.g. one requiring multiple context switches in evaluating a single statement like `a.b = c[a.b].d()`. With the GIL, that might require multiple operations in that assignment taking >5ms. If all those operations are fast might almost never come up, but without the GIL, a different thread could mutate a.b as often as it wants.

I haven't heard of this coming up in practice, but it's certainly something that could in principle happen. The amount of FUD about it in every discussion about python finally making progress on threading seems excessive though.
This is such an American thing that I find it hard to respond to, because these cultural things feel universal when you're swimming in them.

Wealth doesn't make it difficult to figure out what to do with your life if you never thought wealth is the goal. The problem is that the sole life goal for this person was to get rich, and now that's the endgame, and he doesn't know what to do.

If the goal, instead, was to have fun, to foster a strong social circle, good relationships, to do things for and with them, to have hobbies, to learn new things, to challenge yourself, etc, he'd just think "oh cool, now I can do more of those without having to spend X hours a day working".
This post makes me think (keep thinking) if we can use a solution that I used for another project in another context: using a Cryptographic Feistel Network to compute UUIDS so they are reversible if you need to know the original order. Each entity uses another key for the generation but if they know the keys they can know the order of the other party. Basically is using an existing cryptographic function if the block size is the same and if not adaping it to a specific block size via a Feistel Network.
What else does it need?

I get old code smell, and why folks might want something architecturally different, whatever - but screen is functionally feature complete.
> Eg 2-factor can include phone number

In GitHub organization settings you can require to only use secure 2FA which kicks anyone who use SMS 2FA out.
Perhaps you should consider exploring the path of religion or spirituality. Faith has a way of providing inner peace and grounding. As humans, we are inherently designed to seek meaning through connection, building a family, and raising children. Watching them grow can bring a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment that no material success can replace. This might be the key to rediscovering what truly matters in life.

I don’t get it… you can do whatever the hell you want now. What’s the problem? Surely you like do _something_?

And if you only want to do something for 4 weeks at a time then do that. Where’s the despair coming from?

Also, this person loves capitalism so much because it worked for them. But then the way they say like it’s the greatest gift ever seems so out of touch.

"eye of the needle" refers to a small gate or passage in ancient city walls, used after the main gates were closed at night. A camel could only pass through this narrow opening if it was unloaded of its baggage and possibly crawled through on its knees.

Work on affordable housing tech. There is a huge need for housing at all levels, and I really believe the lower end could be revolutionized by new materials and techniques, along with novel approaches to land use. You could make a real meaningful contribution and choose to make money or not along the way.

Or whatever you want really. I recently contemplated what I would do if I won the lottery and arrived at that conclusion. Hopefully you arrive at yours.

Tech/Resume/CV:

I'm a generalist and an opinionated software engineer with experience both in management and as an indepth technical designer, I am looking forward to work with you. If you need a larger team at your disposal, I can arrange that with my industry connections. I guarantee all my work will bring value, or I'm not charging for it. I'm not looking for "cog in the machine coder" type positions :)

Leave me your contact if you'd utilize my help with:

- Large web API implementations

- Automatic code quality checks and processes

- Software Engineer management coaching or mentoring

- Process and scoping help (how to leave development hell)

- Large data streaming and processing systems

... and plenty other things, really. I am certain we can figure out a way to solve your issues in the way that _brings joy_.

I've got 8+ years of senior experience (leading and managing projects and teams). I've recently written code in Go, TS (& React), and Python (deployment and architecture included) with traditional stacks (Postgre, Redis, Kafka, etc. etc) and I'm comfortable with all the modern web tech-stack. I've got some past experience with C#, PHP, and all kinds of scripting languages. I pick up languages quite quickly, so that shouldn't be a problem, and I've got a working knowledge of most programming paradigms.

Find something that other people would see as infeasible or inaccessible and work on that. You are in a position of privilege that can be used to advance well-being and knowledge.

There's a big difference there.

You install an application you are giving it permission to do practically anything it wants to do with your system, including find the location as often as it wants to.

Browsers have to ask you permission to show desktop notifications, or get your location, or anything else.
