On a related topic. I have a really weird problem in my house where I'm about 20 feet from my TV trying to use my PS5 DualSense connected to a Google TV device connected behind the TV. It uses Bluetooth, which is also 2.4GHz, and the issue I'm having is that the dongle behind the TV is really impacting my controller connection and making playing games over PS Remote Play completely impossible. I even have the GTV device hard wired with an Ethernet adapter, as is my PS5. This can't really be a range limitation can it?

This is pretty close to ancient eastern christian views on heaven and hell. In that view heaven and hell are the same situation: full exposure to the unattenuated light of god. A righteous & repentant person will experience that as love and mercy, and an unjust person will experience it as fear, shame & torture. But all get the same "treatment" so to speak.
> When there is such a rich database of manual pages and q/a about these tools, I tend to blame the user rather than the tool when I hear it called "too complex".

Strong disagree. The example they gave about ffmpeg is a great example. Let's say I'm a casual ffmpeg user that wants to wrangle some videos one way or another.

I don't have the time to dig through ffmpeg's manual with tons of different options and terms that I don't understand just to figure out, as a trivial example, how to convert an mp4 to an mp3 while maintaining the best quality possible. I have 0 interest in learning about media formats, codecs, etc. I just want the result. This is not unreasonable.

With ChatGPT/Claude/etc, this is an even more trivial task. Nothing wrong with that. I'm willing to take the (minimal) risk of running an ffmpeg command while taking a common sense glance at it. It won't destroy my existing file. Or I'll run it on a copy if I'm being paranoid. I'm not dumb enough to destroy my machine or get some malware by running an unfamiliar ffmpeg command I copy pasted.

My #1 usage for LLMs is bash/zsh commands. Shell syntax is miserable to say the least.

Your parties must not be any good. People have entire careers just organizing events like weddings and corporate conferences. You can or as little or as much effort into throwing parties as you can pottery or any of the other things listed.
> One big piece of advice I have is to try to avoid letting others in your social network know exactly how successful you’ve been.

So `add rcx, 1` gets handled by the renamer, potentially with zero latency.

Unfortunately shifts are slow when the shift count is renamed in this way.

That's because the value still has to make it to the shifter... and the renamer's adder output clearly takes a different and higher-latency path than the one which doesn't go through it, confirming my original suspicion that this is a limitation of the bypass/forwarding network.

Ultimately it seems they are just playing around with where things happen; the addition can be done here but the value ultimately needs to go there for the shift, or the addition and shift can both happen there. One could envision a future change that puts the shifter in the renamer too. They're really constrained by the laws of physics.
Worth noting that whether intentional or not, this would be easy to miss and unlikely to move benchmark numbers since compilers won't generate instructions like this: they would use the eax form which is 1 byte shorter and functionally equivalent.

Even some assemblers will optimize this for you.
saw over here a post about this model a day ago I think.
tested it now using the link you provided.

That is a lot to take over here for such simple question...

PROMPT: Why do gyms fully packed the first two weeks of a year?

RESPONSE: I think it's because they're the first two weeks of a year. You're going to be out in the world for a while, and you're going to be in a lot of different places. So you're going to have a lot of people that are not familiar with gyms. And so it's kind of like, "Oh, I'll just go there." It's kind of like, "I'll just go to this other place." So that's how it works.

And I think what we've seen is that some gyms are starting to really embrace social distancing. They're doing things like wearing masks or getting masks on the bus or whatever else they can do to help prevent people from getting sick. But they're also doing things like encouraging people to get their kids into school and encourage them to stay home if they feel sick. And so we see that kind of trend coming back in gyms.

And I think that's what's really important for us as a community is to make sure that we're not putting ourselves at risk by not being able to social distance ourselves properly. And so I think that's what we need to do right now.

And one thing that I think is really important is if you're going to be out in the world for a while, and you don't want your kids or your family members or your friends around you, then you need to wear masks. So if you're going out with friends, and you don't want them around you, then wear a mask. If you're going out with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, then wear a mask too.

We've seen many cases where people were wearing masks at events and restaurants and things like that. But I think we need to continue to wear masks even more during this pandemic period because we know that the virus spreads through droplets when people cough or sneeze or whatever else they do. And so it's really important for us as individuals and as communities as well as our government officials and our public health officials to continue wearing masks even though we may not be able to see them or touch them or smell them.

So let me just end this video with a quote from the CDC: "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released new guidance on how best to protect yourself from COVID-19." So please keep up the good work!

Thank you very much for watching!

We'll talk more about the latest news in fitness in just a minute, but first, let's talk about why we should wear masks.
"Earning money from affiliate links" and "stealing affiliate links" are not the same thing. There is a big range of behaviors here, and they're right at the worst end of it.

I'm surprised by how far they went, not that affiliate links were involved at all.
yes I knew that, because I took the trouble to read his about page and some part of the article before I commented. and i have some judgement and radar, you know.

the article has nothing to do with philosophy. it is just about common sense, which as voltaire said, is not very common.
In 1997 Kurt Vonnegut did not write

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t.

I'm not sure if Mary Schmich (who did write it) takes pride in her words being frequently credited to an esteemed writer, or if it rankles. Later Baz Luhrmann made the words into a #1.

Anyway, I agree. You don't need to know where to go next, just be curious and find things as you investigate. Sometimes a project will call to you. Don't be concerned if it hasn't yet.

Your project does not have to be a business. If you wanted to embark on a Dwarf Fortress kind of project you could happily work at it for the rest of your life without needing it to be a money making venture. Your Dwarf Fortress might be A database of the world's cheese or a castle built entirely from synthetic diamonds you produce one at a time from your own machine. It doesn't have to be easy or even possible to complete. I don't think you can decide on something and go do it. I think your thing will tell you when it is ready.

> you can't explain away being able to travel wherever whenever you want

Just lie and say you work for an AI startup that's in stealth mode and that they're sending you there for a work retreat to bond with your coworkers. Few people in your life care that much about your job to dig deeper.
Man, I sympathize. Google can be ruthless with their (IMO poorly implemented) authentication schemes. I queried an LLM and its reply was:

Backup Codes
If you set up 2FA previously, you should have received a set of backup codes. These are one-time use codes that can bypass the need for other 2FA methods.

Check if you saved these codes offline (e.g., on a USB stick, external drive, or printed copy)
If you have access, use one of these codes to log in

Try Alternative Devices
If you have any other devices where you're still logged into your Google account:

Use that device to approve the login attempt on your new iPhone
Or use it to disable 2FA temporarily, allowing you to log in on the new device

Recovery Email
If you have a recovery email set up:

Try the account recovery process using your recovery email
Go to https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery
Follow the prompts, using your recovery email to receive a verification code

Probably completely worthless.

In my case, I was locked out for using my pass'word' (successfully) from a different device and I did not have 2FA active. I'm not sure if it was the official complaint I made or the 7 days I waited, but I got back in after a week of being locked with absolutely no recourse.

Good luck, and pardon the slop, if it is.
Crazy idea: work for DOGE but secretly just do whatever the most educated (and compassionate) people on the topic say to do. Don’t let Elon know you’re poisoning his well with good ideas.
It's made my life way, way better

It's not a panacea, and the way people talk about it drives me crazy. There are many different modalities, with very different levels of effectiveness for any given person. CBT is awful for me, for example, and it's the most popular modality. I also did ketamine-assisted therapy and it absolutely changed my life.

There are definitely people who won't get anything from it, but the reflexive "therapy is useless" is a weird thing to perform when it's obviously helped a ton of people.

Yes. The type of people who seek out political office are least fit for it, and should be deliberately excluded. We should use sortition, not elections. And if we are going to have elections, we should have limited fixed terms — career politicians are the worst.
Cloud PC might leap to the fore here, sold as a way to get "the latest Windows goodness" without needing anything more than a minimal client and decent Internet. It would solve all the patching issues, give Microsoft excellent data on how people use "their" computers, and generate a little cash on the side. Then windows on the desktop could shrivel over time to just be a stub and a client.
So, while I do not agree with everything Jordan Peterson says (or even most), his writing/speaking about “take responsibility for something meaningful”

You want freedom, but that is a freedom to choose. It is not an end goal to never choose anything.

Would you be open to full remote for the perfect candidate? I worked on cheat detection for chess.com, which I imagine is very similar.
> As someone who has not been successful in life but who is relatively intelligent do you have any recommendations as to how I can get my life on track?

I'm not the OP, but instead just a person who thinks they might be of help. Caveat emptor and all that :-).

Success is what we define both in and of ourselves. Some use material measurements (money, titles, assets, etc.), which are intrinsically relative and thus ephemeral.

Another definition is establishing a sustained environment of happiness. This includes addressing immediate physical needs, such as a place to live, sustenance, and the like. More than that is finding happiness in how we live each day.

> My persistent experience in life for almost 20 years post college has been nobody wants to develop me.

While some may give tips and/or pointers as to how to develop oneself, IMHO, much like happiness, development comes from within. Seeking wise counsel is always a good call, but no one can develop another. All anyone else can do is give perspective from their own journey as it relates to you - mine is you have identified options above which are appealing, so pursue them as if no one else is going to anything to make it happen.

> I have a BA in economics but unfortunately have never used it.

You still have it and one never knows when the education we have helps out until it does. ;)
I understand the truth that writing was very much a huge net positive for humanity, but that doesn't mean Socrates was in any way wrong.

To my mind, though, LLMs are just plain inaccurate and I wouldn't want them anywhere near my codebase. I think you gotta keep sharp, and a person who runs well does not walk around with a crutch.
To rule out alignment you should adding padding to one so the two variations have the same alignment in their long run of SHLX (I don't actually think it's alignment related though).
I build a free and open source site uptime monitoring tool and app in 2.5 weeks
Over Christmas, I gave myself a challenge to ship a production-ready application and I DID IT. Managed to ship a free to use, open source website uptime monitoring tool with accompanying iOS and android apps. feel free to check it out!

With how fast you can build due to amazing tools like Laravel and React Native, there is no more excuse not to ship... the future is really promising.
Same here, although they sadly discontinued the narrow mouth version.

stop spreading misinformation. go look at largest companies by market cap in the world https://companiesmarketcap.com/ and you'll see US domination while China has a few handful of companies, mostly banks.

> government and elites realized that we’re screwed

That's more like China. That's why 15k rich chinese are fleeing the country in 2024 https://www.forbes.com/sites/miltonezrati/2024/07/03/high-ne..., the most of any country in the world. US isn't the one where the stock market and real estate has collapsed.
Yes, this burden can be shared.
This is why all "temporary" settings go in .gitignored files or equivalent,

or on no-merge testing branches,

and we have test on the release branch that asserts for each config value that it is set to a safe value,

and we have a test that reflectively asserts that every config key has a value assertion test.
I don't know how to reason about things like this and the Google's version with Street View recording wifi SSIDs. I wouldn't at all be surprised if these really were just harmless mistakes, but people feel so constantly surveilled that they immediately attribute suspicion/malice. Even this article is in scare quotes.
They slapped the word AI on it and took advantage of temporary market conditions (wfh due to covid and AI hype), nothing more, nothing less. Unless I'm missing something, there is nothing special about this product and probably no one will remember it in ~15 years time.

Meanwhile OP seems to think he should have expected the same sense of fulfillment one might get from an actually meaningful contribution to human society, for some reason.
Elon's track record is to consistently succeed spectacularly with things that most people find laughably impossible to do. That's why I don't dismiss this project.

I missed there they stated outright that they're "only interested in enriching themselves and their cronies"?
It's very much the opposite of Apple's brand. Apple simply does not do this.

No joke. I’ve seen it work wonders for providing meaning to many, including multiple rich-beyond-belief founders.
I get the impression his past ideology looked down on that kind of volunteering, this is someone who thinks working for DOGE (department of government efficiency) is a humanitarian action.
Even something like rich with an incurable disease (or maybe your spouse/child has one) that’s going to take you out in a few months than poor? Having lived a bit in both worlds I’m not really sure it’s so simple as you’re making it out to be. I’d agree that generally of course it’s better to be rich than poor, I’m just saying every individual person can’t be judged solely on that basis.
Get friends?
This is insane. Most countries are in debt and there's nothing wrong with that unless it becomes too high. Choosing to default is a choice with no benifits that would crash the world economy for no reason and permanently hobble the country
My recollection is that the FCC during the Obama years repeatedly tried to impose Net Neutrality regulations on ISPs without reclassifying them as telecommunications services, and only after exhausting that route did they try regulating them under Title II. So if this ruling stands, then there's probably enough precedent to keep the FCC from doing anything meaningful against ISPs until Congress can pass major legislation about this.
I disagree with your opinion so its wrong!
The built-in Terminal is a) simpler, smaller attack surface b) older c) supported by probably more than one person, in a more risk-averse org d) used by a lot more people so issues will get noticed and fixed sooner e) part of a pretty robust public beta OS program.

Just don't use iTerm2.
yes, for natives.

but it also ties in with censorship/propaganda, ie: "no such thing as homeless people in china"

If you're a westerner, it will show how bad US is, lusty images, drug use, gambling. etc.

It's a super double-edged sword. We could have it in the west but we'd need a government that is looking out for the interests of people, not israeli/multinationals/lobbies/industry etc.
I find it invaluable when I have to dive into unfamiliar codebases, which is unfortunately too often. Mental maps are great when you can work with the same code for awhile and keep all of that knowledge in the front of your brain, otherwise you should just outsource them.
Totally agree. But it can be surprisingly hard to find what this is for yourself when you are used to climbing the school / corporate / startup ladder your whole life.
This story is tailor-made for Brian Dunning of Skeptoid to follow up on. He did jail time for something similar (apps he wrote for customers directed the add revenue to him instead of the customer)

I can think of dozens of similar examples from my local government where entrenched local incentives or disinterest lead to completely wasteful outcomes. All of my friends in government have stories of egregious waste, 8-9 digit programs where not even the people working on them think they are effective.

I think the salient observation is that there are abundant opportunities for improvement and cost saving if there is a stakeholder that actually cares about cost savings.

I found Clickhouse easier to handle than pure SQL for this - as an analytics database it has conveniences like parsing input files with regexp, user defined functions and array functions. It's often possible to treat it more like an array programming language. But I still sometimes couldn't avoid the tuple explosion problem.

Our phones are definitely listening and serving ads based on what we say. I have personally experienced it. Most of us have if we are paying attention.

It seems like we don’t want to face this because the only remedy is to throw our phones off a cliff.
Honestly the water bottles are probably fine as they likely don’t leach much BPA unless something happens to break the polymer apart- like contact with a strong chemical solvent. Although BPA is an endocrine disruptor, it is likely that normal use of a polycarbonate water bottle is fine. They stopped selling them because people got afraid and stopped buying them. I still see no reason to use one given the uncertainty.

You can get really good HDPE, stainless steel, and glass water bottles with a silicon impact cover.
