I don't think it's victim blaming to say that the linked Reddit post is missing critical details (and indeed any details) about what precisely is going on. I agree that it's quite bad if Meta did this without the user specifically asking them to do so.
Till now. Never underestimate idiots.
I'm not saying nothing's changed, but there was a lot of dirt on previous politicians that didn't get surfaced and pored over in the 20th century, as it has been in the 21st. The saying about not wanting to know how sausages or legislation gets made, is a pretty old one.
US should take the areas below the 47 degree Lat N. The rest can remain Canada. And please Keep Quebec too.

Or maybe Canada should pull a Russia and sell the Northwest Territories and Yukon. That would generate a lot of interest and money.
// a large blame for this can be placed on disinterested parents //

Is this really something to which we need to attribute blame? I mean, after I learned how to program, I never again sat down and did 100 computations by hand. But I never felt a need to feel culpable or blame my parents.

LLMs happened. They are not going away. There is not an employer on the planet who would prefer their employees to do 1/10th the work by hand, vs. 10x the work using LLMs.

We have to be very careful not to prepare our kids for the world we lived in, or the careers we had. Their world is going to be very very different.
I just came across American Experience for the first time over the last week. What I've seen so far is incredible.

This is their YouTube profile:

Unfortunately, the doc you mention isn't on there. They do have the transcript on their site tho:

Also a Canadian living in the US.

The US is good to anyone who can pay. And my career made it such that I earn a lot more in the US that I would in Canada, so the US has been good to me. It's unclear how widespread that experience actually is. There's a lot of statistics that this is one of the best times to be alive (despite our very cynical / negative attitude about it).

But personally, I have no intent of going back, if only because of the weather.

> There was no "peaceful" presentation of grievance. There was weeks of civil disobedience and actual acts of violence.

Partisans love to play this game, where they judge a large group of people by the worst possible interpretation of the actions of a tiny subset of them.

For a protest which some estimates say peaked at ~18,000, this was the resulting set of "violent" charges:

"12 charges of assaulting a peace officer; six charges of assault; three charges of assault or intimidation with a weapon; five charges of possessing a weapon dangerous to public peace; two charges of carrying a concealed weapon; one charge of possessing a restricted firearm; and four charges of uttering threats of death or bodily harm." [0]

Obviously this is not acceptable, but the idea that the protesters as a group were "authoritarians" because 0.01% of them got violent is hysterical nonsense.

Zapping the Web
No. It's made me a much better and more effective programmer, by a huge amount.

I'd still be able to get stuff done without AI, and sometimes do, as a practice, but it'd be a drag.
But those of us who think the entire idea of "patentability" is a joke in and of itself.

All these fuzzy lines behind this "who invented what" is a major reason I consider patents to be evil -- the entire system sets up artificial and harmful barriers keeping ideas from fertilizing each other and growing beyond our wildest imaginations.

(And as someone who strongly dislikes all things Apple -- but not quite as much as all things Windows -- I cannot help but observe that both Apple and Microsoft simultaneously deserve both more and less acknowledgement, all depending on how one looks at things, for their inventiveness).
I really don’t like that one calls AI / ChatGPT etc for ‘him’ or ‘her’ - it’s a machine!!!, not a human. It’s wrong in so many ways.

And it’s a lot more A than I :-D

if there's one thing i can recommend, it's to read all the emails. they are hilarious and gave me the most joy. i burst out laughing while reading some which took me over my stimulation threshold and allowed me to fully embrace the absurdity of the entire thing (which i was initially playing somewhat competitively).
Are all the raised areas sitting on top of the jackscrews (where used) from 170 years ago? That itself is astounding.
There are many cases of bad branding. Note Microsoft's habit of naming things without doing the simplest trademark search.

I used to covet 3 letter domains. If I had a 1 letter domain I would want to use it.

Musk was stuck on that name a long time ago, and it's a way to assert power over his platform and drive away people who won't play along with him but it is a real gift to Bluesky. People might not be so offended by the name if they weren't offended by everything else.
Yeah I kinda left that out. The Quiet revolution was about secularism and Franco rights in their own province.

Hopefully there's a senior/staff engineer where you're at that actually knows the difference and is able to (find time to) comment on PRs where the wrong one is used. It's one of those "background radiation" things that you develop after working in a language for long enough.
It seems to me that the fundamental tenants of "education" are being disrupted here. I have always found learning in order to do things far less intuitive and interesting than doing things in order to learn. The incentive structures of our education systems are wonky (reflected in this post). Maybe they could use a good shakeup.

Anybody have any thoughts on if the View Transition API is going to replace a lot of HTMX usage?

This multi-page demo is decent, where each click is actually loading a new page:
https://view-transitions.chrome.dev/stack-navigator/mpa-prer...

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/view-transiti...

> The View Transition API gives you the power to create seamless visual transitions between different views on your website. This creates a more visually engaging user experience for users as they navigate your site, regardless of whether it's built as a multi-page application (MPA) or a single-page application (SPA). Typical situations where you would use view transitions include:

> A thumbnail image on a product listing page that transitions into a full-size product image on the product detail page.

> A fixed navigation bar that stays in place as you navigate from one page to another.

> A grid with items moving positions as you filter through.

So this would cover a few uses of HTMX?

Recent Safari and Chrome now have decent support. Sounds like Firefox are working on it but I couldn't find an expected release date.

A year for action and intentionality
Rather, I think they are not accessible enough. A picture on a wall, a movie or music can be experienced by hundreds or thousands of people all at once. Games in an art gallery have a much lower natural limit to the number of people who can interact with them simultaneously (at least in the same physical space). Sure, you can watch others do it, but that's not really the same thing (it's more like watching performance art than playing a game).

I have in fact been to art galleries which had interactive game-like exhibits. I basically never got to interact with them because, lo and behold, there was a long queue.
The system intentionally does not require scrutiny.

Youtube implemented this system as part of a lawsuit with Viacom who was going to take them to the cleaners. Putting all the power in the hands of the people making the claim was intentional.

If someone's video gets taken down incorrectly and then later put back up, Google does not care, someone else's video got the ad slots anyway. There's more content on Youtube uploaded every second than can be watched.
It's not self-defeating, it's a commentary.

I've built up a reflex to leave any sort of overstimulatory atmosphere. I don't watch short form videos and leave any page that causes high levels of stimulation (Temu's spinner stops me from shopping there, for example).

I quit this game after about 10 minutes when it hit a comical level of stimulation and still upvoted this. I loved the commentary because the game seemed to follow the natural "evolution" of the web, straight to the point where every app has attached mini games and multiple in-game currencies. Listening to the man popping his beer can and pouring it at the same time as a live police scanner was truly dystopian but also feels like a daily occurrence in modern society.
I think blame should be taken to mean "root cause" as opposed to a moral culpability. The degree to which a parent takes an active role in their child's education is incredibly important, more important than their teachers or the school they go to, and sadly many parent's do not take much of an interest in their children's education, thinking that it is mostly something schools manage.

This is a Black Mirror level hellscape. It really does capture the overstimulation of the modern world without filters. I found myself simultaneously anxious and inclined to keep clicking so I can unlock the next tier. It's over the top but not by much.
Twitter was a product I saw no need for to begin with. I think the brain dead management decisions he made going in had a bigger impact than the brain dead branding seemingly done by a terrible agency or one that was just staffed with yes men (same difference). I am more than mildly disturbed that it hasn't gone completely under yet. The fact that so many poor quality name brands can underproduce and stay viable has clearly shaken any faith i had in market balancing or other tenets of Capitalism, leaving me certain we live in hell.
The First Amendment is about free speech. Money is not speech, and should not require a specific carve-out. If you equate money to speech then elected officials become beholden to those with money, which kills democracy.
For those negative on the book, do you have a better suggestion for me to read? Maybe I should just ask ChatGPT.

> What I struggle to understand is that this is primarily to combat manufactured spend.

I agree with you, it is well known that these collector products are intended to generate revenue.

Also, they literally have their pricing rationale in their FAQs:

https://www.usmint.gov/help-center/most-popular-questions.ht...

> We cannot use any tax dollars to fund our numismatic operations.

> The United States Mint’s numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to the taxpayer. Any excess funds are returned to the Treasury General Fund to reduce the annual budget deficit of the federal government.
> If you had all APs adjust their power based on the other networks in range, then you could dynamically reduce power output to reduce congestion.

Reducing power also reduces the range. It would be very annoying if my neighbor putting a new AP next to the shared wall meant my AP reduced its range to only half of the room, instead of just sharing the bandwidth while keeping the same range like it currently does.
My comment was about democracies and their constitutions in general. I’m neither Canadian nor American. Yes, there are significant degrees in how easy or hard it is, but in the end if you have a sufficiently large majority that wants to deprive a minority of their rights, the mere fact of having a democracy by itself doesn’t prevent it.
"Just" don't engage with them. A more technical solution is to make a custom feed that filters out what you don't like.

I have a script that generates an html file, sorting posts to tiers based on domain or keywords. Just as an example the shitty tier posts are now: bbc, wsj, vox, arstechnica; the top tier: itch.io, twitter, arxiv, github. Any posts from rare domains get into top tier, posts from frequent domains to middle tier. So it's mostly sorted to my preferences.
I mean corrected 20/20 vision. Maybe you have that with your glasses.
You have a sphere of influence which is a function of your resources (your resources being the aggregate of fiat, assets, your ability, your network, etc). Do good for those who can fit within your sphere. Attempt to grow your sphere. When you pass, you will have done what you can with what you have for those you could. That is the most we can ask of ourselves in the brief period in which we exist.
One wrinkle here is the choice of signed error instead of eg. RMSE; absolute error metrics don't care about rounding vs. flooring. Since the conclusion of the analysis hinges on this choice of error metric, I think some justification or discussion of that choice adds interesting context.

Signed error implies that clock-imprecision "cancels"; that being 20 seconds late to your meeting will be undone by being 20 seconds early to lunch afterwards. I'm not sure if this is quite how people reason about 'lateness' though. Obviously in some applications it makes sense (ex. recording event times of some phenomenon of interest), but in scheduling my daily life that's not really how I think about things.

I think RMSE is closer to how people evaluate scheduling of stuff; it doesn't matter if I'm late or early, both will have notable consequences in unique ways. The ambivalence of the RMSE error to rounding vs. flooring is the intuition I would put behind the counterargument fielded by the author:

> But this is just a convention! Truncating, rounding or even ceiling are all valid, as long as we pick one and stick to it.

I think you can also squeeze some juice out of playing with the error metric further. If you want a 'just-in-time' schedule (ie. you want to never be early to anything) then the flooring clock is superior to the rounding clock. If you want the opposite then a ceiling-ing clock would be the best choice.

> Personally, I would never say that it's 10 if the clock shows anything past 10:30

I like to floor my times to the nearest 15-minute interval (10, quarter-past, half-past, quarter-to), only rounding once I've reached ~10:55

There is no reason to annex Canada when it's economy can simply be bought and controlled.

This was being done over USB midi, which is already faster than standard DIN midi AFAIK. Trying to change the baud rate of DIN midi on both ends of the communication seems like a lot of work.
> I've never understood the value of watching a live lecture without interactivity.

Because you're rarely just watching. It isn't a movie, you are supposed to ask questions. Similarly, the lecturer will ask the audience questions to gauge their understanding and tweak the lecture on-the-fly. There's also a huge value in interacting with classmates after the lecture, allowing you to discuss and refine your understanding of it while it is still fresh.
No the Jackscrews would have been removed for reuse after the lift.

By the way you can still buy jacks like these. They're considered safer than hydraulic jacks and are often called "house jacks":

Oh no. Last time [1] I wasted half a day clicking on buttons. There were some aliens, some AI stuff, then something happened to (this) universe. Never again!

Many years back, someone had made a clicker parody game internally at Google (go/swe-simulator-game). You clicked to write CLs, DDs, build a team, get into committees, get promoted. I wish that was made available externally, it was hilarious and painful at the same time.

We need to start going into the real world by delivering products and technologies that we envisioned working in the actual real world. People don't care that much about the Internet and how much it all costs if you don't actually spend money because money is a human construct and if no exchanges happen then it doesn't exist. Spending money on building that next real future seems like a good step forward.
I do realize that. The war in Ukraine is not being supported by Nato. They are sending supplies but the alliance is not entering Ukraine against Russia so as to not create a wider conflict. Note that Ukraine is not a NATO signatory while Canada is.
In the case of the US annexing Canada,the strategic analysis would give two options. Either immediately oppose US aggression and form a bloc independent of them, or tacitly approve of it and leave yourself open to the same thing happening to you and your neighbours.
you're looking at it from a framework that there's a "right" way to interpret a given piece of art, or that a given piece of art has "a point" instead of "a set of ways in which people interpret it". You're describing one way of interpreting it and then leveling a charge against the piece when, in reality, that charge should be leveled at that interpretation.
> That's for both CPU, supposedly no-longer puny iGPU and the NPU.

Right, the CPU.
You know, this is one of those crimes which you object to not merely--or even mostly--because of the damage done. What really gets you is just how petty the crime is. Just how very small someone would have to be to think this was a good idea.

The shear lack of imagination. This is like a big dumb bully whose only move is giving wedgies. This is the kind of thing you'd get if you gave a kindergartener too much military power.

It is still weird. Imagine you try out Photoshop online with your private photos. A few minutes later, you start seeing ads with those same photos edited in different ways. Even if those ads are visible only to you, it will still feel pretty creepy.
Haha, what an end to an era on the brand. Some 16 years ago, my parents bought me the only XPS laptop I'd own: an XPS M1330 [0]. I've still got in a closet here, but I used it for eight years or so. Six years after purchase, it looks like it was still a pretty good machine[1] and had near perfect Linux compatibility. The real wonder for me was that the bootloaders for the Power button on that laptop and the MediaDirect button were separate, so I actually had it set up so that if I hit the MediaDirect button it would go to Ubuntu and the Power button would send it to Windows!

Pretty neat trick. The only thing is that something about the way the video framebuffer was set up when you hit the MediaDirect button made the GRUB interface laggy. After that, the kernel resets everything and all is well!

This particular laptop was part of the infamous batch of bad G84 series of Nvidia graphics chips. The BGA soldering on the GPUs would crack under thermal stress, but you could reflow it with a heat gun or using the oven (crazy for a semi-plastic device!). In my case, it happened early enough that XPS support replaced my motherboard a few times. They actually met me wherever I was with the part to replace the board and the tech would do it for me at home. Overall, that was the finest customer support experience I ever had. I'm a fickle guy, though. It wasn't enough to keep me with the brand and I eventually ended up with a Macbook.

It's funny. After posting this I googled my name and XPS M1330 and found a post where I was trying to boot off the SD card. I was fascinated by this idea back then that I could just carry my OS on an SD card and then people couldn't see any of my stuff unless they had that specific SD card: https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/laptops-gene... . Sadly the XPS M1330 didn't work for that, but I think I did it with a USB stick (which is unfortunately more noticeable - back then they were bulky!).
