It has an awesome effect of being able to more effortlessly spend time with friends, of whom 50% of them drink alcohol, in environments that are generally meant for alcohol drinking like cocktail bars and pubs. You’ll also be happy to know that NA cocktails and NA beers tend to have substantially less calories, so better for the “belly” than alcohol-based drinks.

Further, if you’re going to look at it through the lens you’ve chosen, I recommend just drinking water, which has been shown to have strong positive side effects without the downsides on calories or cost.
You're right and wrong.

While they're very expensive to me in my everyday life, they were originally 10x cheaper than the alternative: getting custom photography done for ads, websites, brochures, etc.

This applies to Threads and Instagram, too, I guess?
The sayings are "the dose makes the poison." or "The solution is dilution."

I've found over time that neither aphorism is true. The poison is poison, regardless. Caffeine, Sugar, Plastic, Alcohol, Social media --- all bad like arsenic, but tastier (or more useful).

I want to drink some sugar free beverage that's not just water, and find that my only option is typically caffeinated (or alcoholic, which is nearly the same as sugar).

So indeed, decreasing poison intake is a good thing. Since life is inevitability fatal, I'll probably not go to the extreme of eliminating any of those.
Sounds like lots of ideas and principles copied over from the much-maligned X?!
I think humans will eventually self-improve with genetic engineering -- e.g. shifting the median IQ up by 30 points, life extension, disease resistance, eliminating heritable conditions -- but the ethical and societal issues will take much longer to address than the technology. We could already do some of this.

I think some of the concern is reasonable and some isn't.
> For example, consider a hypothetical world in which grocery prices doubled but cost of housing for some reason halved – would you say that that's high or low inflation?

That is grocery inflation and housing deflation. These are just words that mean "the prices are going up" and "the prices are going down" respectively. There's no spiritual or metaphysical meaning behind them, and they don't say anything about the causes of prices going up or down. One can argue why the prices are changing, and maybe some or all of the answer is money supply, but one cannot argue if prices are up "because of inflation" or not -- if prices are up, there is inflation, regardless of the "root" (scare quotes because it's unclear that there can be such a thing as a root cause in something as complex as the global price system, which is a strange loop if there ever was one) cause.
I'd prefer they got back to their roots of having a simple, time-ordered wall of posts from only your friends.

One wrinkle here is that Jobs himself was by all accounts the person most responsible for Apple opening a Cork facility in 1980, and for whatever Apple and the Irish government promised each other as part of that deal. There's some indication that Irish governments were unhappy with what they got from it https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/state-papers-... but it's hard to be sure exactly what happened there: Apple was probably not in the best shape to carry out ambitious relocation plans for much of the '80s, for one thing.

While I don't have boundless love for either Jobs or RTO mandates, and as an Irishman I would very much rather not see Cork getting the dirty end of the stick, I have to defend Jobs' desire for centralisation a bit here. There's considerable evidence that having nearly all the central product and design people within easy reach of SJ stalking around 1 Infinite Loop did in fact work very well for Apple in the second Jobs era. Maybe it was still a wrong decision, despite appearances, but you can hardly say that it was an eccentric one. (And in 2000 the tools for offsite or multi-site collaboration weren't even as not-entirely-great as they are now.) It was other people who brought in the madcap element of trying to hide things from the boss, not Jobs himself.
Not smoking is a millennial thing. So expect smoking to come back as the children of millennials rebel against their parents.

>Musk sold me a very expensive feature that still does nothing, six years later. He knew that he was lying about the capabilities of the cars, but still took my $7,500 for a feature that was worth zero. I’m never buying anything from him again.

I assume you're talking about auto-pilot?

>The same approach of bald-faced lies is evident in most of the tech industry today. Cryptocurrency products don’t serve any purpose but enriching people like Andreessen. AI is almost as bad. And now these titans of misinformation are barging into global politics. They don’t care about empowering people and creativity like Jobs did, they just want more personal power.

Yes, the tech industry went from promising Star Trek like future to Demolition Man meets 1984 where Taco Bell owns everything and spies on you. It's not great. Stallman was right, but he got conveniently pushed out of the conversation.

How is a corporation going to profit off that?
Yeah, I really don't think the overlap is as much as you imagine. At least in /r/localllama and the discord servers I frequent, the vast majority of users are interested in one or the other primarily, and may just dabble with other things. Obviously this is just my observations...I could be totally misreading things.
Well, the subject of the thread being "alcohol-free booze", I don't think that's a reason. Around these parts, these kinds of drinks are quite expensive, comparable to the higher-end alcoholic equivalents.
> Every time I think of a great idea I find someone else has already thought of it

that's because an idea's greatness does not come from the creator, but from the other people affected by the idea. And most ideas dont affect anyone.
> most of those points one only stumbles over after a few thousand lines of Zig and going really deep into the comptime features.

> nothing about it is surprising when working with it

I think there's a contradiction here - when you get deep into using this kind of feature in a complex way is precisely when you most need it to behave consistently, and tends to be where this kind of ad-hoc approach breaks down.

I’ve learned C in 00s and don’t think it’s hard with all the usual talks talked about it.

But eventually I grew really tired of handling everything by myself or failing at attempts to enhance C with syntactic augmentations in a sane way. You just plow through finalizations again and again after every change, and invent all sorts of rube goldberg machines to correctly quit a failed function.

C was designed with one-shot programs in mind, which was the default. You just read and write until EOF/error and then exit, simple (akin to Perl which had neither memory management nor GC - your script was just expected to finish soon and not linger for hours). Otoh, modern highly stateful programming is a great PITA in conjunction with C.

Maybe Zig and Rust would do better for me, idk, but somehow I pivoted into non-performance programming. I’m not using anything instead. There’s no “business” in C and no money, unless you’re lucky with a rare low-level job.

About that... Not like there isn't a lot to be desired from the linux drivers: I'm running a K80 and M40 in a workstation at home and the thought of having to ever touch the drivers, now that the system is operational, terrifies me. It is by far the biggest "don't fix it if it ain't broke" thing in my life.
Thanks for the correction and insights!
>social pressure to have children is such a ubiquitous experience

One aspect of growing older that I eagerly can't wait for (unlike most others) is getting old enough that people will stop fucking pestering me about marriage and kids.

All those people can sincerely fuck off into their own bedrooms, pun intended.

I haven't seen a single discussion be worse off due to fact checking, but I've seen tons of discussions where having it would improve things. I have seen people get mad because they can't post BS without it being challenged.

To claim internet discussion worked better without fact checking is something I haven't seen any actual evidence for, just opinions like yours.

Community notes is just a watered down, more easily 'ignored' version that appeases people that were angry about fact checkers to begin with.

Hopefully there is a push-back, likely from EU legislation. Between the AI generators many of these companies are implementing and changes like this, platforms need to be held more accountable for what they allow to be posted on them.
How would fact checkers access the 90% of private content? And should they? I don't think so, even if the respective private content is questionable.

The EU goes its own way with trusted flaggers, which is more or less the least sensible option. It won't take long until bounds are overstepped and legal content gets flagged. Perhaps it already happened. This is not a solution to even an ill-defined problem.

Even if that's what you need, isn't the idea that an HTML <progress> can replace:

</div>

and a <label for=""> can replace at least one of these:

I forgot to mention, but the 'assault style weapons' are legal currently. All of the owners have proper licenses, have background checks, and are registered with the government.
Wow, I guess some people are such die hard fans that they try to mention "aliens" instead of giving a semblance of an argument.

Keep your ad ridden Windows mate, you clearly deserve it. Not worth my time to answer this low level of a reply.

This is interesting. I welcome it.

The cynical side of me knows that the content review humans are expensive. “Community Notes” is (I assume) volunteer. So it may also be a bit of a cost-cutting measure.

Back to our roots of free work, sorry, expression.
Instagram is one of the most popular social networks in the world. Sadly people don't care.
For some reason this reminds me of semantic highlighting.
A constant is not just an identifier - like a variable - it's a constant.
There's more semantic in the text than the usual syntax highlighters highlight.

Some code formatters are good and exist for json or edn (extensible data notation) or even full programming languages like smalltalk or even more complex ones like typescript.

In a team it's true that code can be chaotic because not everybody uses a formatter and obviously we all have different coding style, even if the tooling made it more structured.

So yes it would help to enforce more structure in a seamless way so we can focus on the important stuff without creating huge diffs in pull requests.
Corporate censorship should have never happened. It is a huge corruption of public discourse and the political process. These platforms have hundreds of millions of users, or more, and are as influential as governments. They should be regulated like public utilities so they cannot ban users or censor content, especially political speech. Personally I don’t trust Zuck and his sudden shift on this and other topics. It doesn’t come with a strong enough rejection of Meta/Facebook’s past, and how they acted in the previous election cycle, during COVID, during BLM, etc. But I guess some change is still good.
I'm currently wondering how likely it is I'll get into deeper LLM usage, and therefore how much Apple Silicon I need (because I'm addicted to macOS). So I'm some way closer to your steel man than you'd expect. But I'm probably a niche within a niche.

I found this post extremely interesting and informative, well above my expectations even given the eminence of its author. I'm not sure that everything in it is covered in The Art of Electronics — it's the kind of stuff the book covers, but I learned things from this post I didn't learn from the book. (But possibly it's information that's in the book that I just failed to absorb the last few times.)

I was recently looking at opamps as alternatives to the LM324 and found some interesting-sounding parts, in particular for a poor man's SMU application (precision, low current, and voltage requirements, but not much bandwidth). Haven't tried any of them yet. Comments would be welcome.

- LM324B: TI's improved LM324, with half the input offset voltage and otherwise improved ratings, and just as cheap, but still bipolar.

- OPA4197 and family: three dollars but it's a quad RRIO 36V 10MHz opamp in a 14-SOIC with ±15nA input bias current, ±100μV max input offset voltage, and 120dB min CMRR. The datasheet makes it sound amazing for the price. The OPA177 seems like it would be better but pricier.

- OP4177ARUZ: a 16-dollar quad 36V 1.3MHz opamp with ±2nA input bias current, 75μV max input offset voltage (at ±15V power supply), and min 120dB CMRR

Then I decided I'd screwed up my design sketch by requiring one of the opamps to sink significant current very close to the negative rail, which is something even "rail-to-rail" opamps can't do; I was planning to use millivolts from ground to represent measured nanoamps. If you want to look at a simulation with idealized opamps, it's at https://tinyurl.com/2aomvpn5, but don't take it as exemplary in any sense; it's a novice design with novice mistakes (and I would be grateful in the unlikely case that someone took the trouble to point some of them out). I think I need to redesign the circuit as a bipolarity-supply circuit or something, or use a differential output for the current measurement, or rethink it entirely.
The closest I've found is the Pixel 8. Surprisingly, the 8a and 9a are bigger. But the 8a is still bigger than the 4a: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10123&idPhone2=...

I'm planning on replacing the battery in my 4a and making it last as long as I can. It's still a great phone.

It feels like everything is up for debate now, yet it has never been less productive to debate anyone on anything. Truth is gone, conceptually superseded.
It is my understanding that it isn't a brighter view, just more differentiation. So things that might look smooth and all one colour to some may have shades of colour to a tertrachromat. Eg. Make-up may look splotchy, paint looks streaky, etc. I'm not a tetrachromat, so I don't really know.

Haven't they noticed what a complete cluster fuck "Community Notes" are on Twitter? Just way to easy to game and just way, waay to easy for hordes of trolls to "Community note" real accounts into oblivion. For example, a note on a story may read: "This image is likely AI-generated. Source: Some Random Post". Except Some Random Post is written by an idiot who is completely wrong. Doesn't matter one bit because the troll hordes can generate more clicks on the up button than the honest users can generate on the down button.
Claims are challenged all the time by other users and there are enough cases where fact checkers were wrong or heavily biased.

EU legislation tries to introduce "trusted flaggers". A ridiculous approach, an information authority by a state-like entity doesn't work, even if they paint these flaggers as independent. They simply are not, a trusted and verifiable fact.

Community notes provide higher quality info, it is the better approach. That is an opinion of course.

We will probably see community notes on trusted flaggers.
Man $600 was probably a lot of dough in 1981...but again PC in that era was an expensive hobby. I was born in early 80s in China and was very lucky to have a PC around the age of 6 -- university "lend" my father one 8086 PC for Mathematics work that he used to develop something similar to Latex but for Chinese.
Fact checkers are often wrong, and often corrupted by the activists that end up working at them. For example I’ve repeatedly noticed articles from Politifact that are blatantly wrong or very misleading. When I look up those authors and their other work, their bias is clear. Community notes on X/Twitter is far more effective and accurate.
Anything that moves us in the direction of free speech and free expression is ultimately better in the long term even if it means a rise in some misinformation and undesirable topics in the short term. No tyranny can ever truly take hold in societies where information flows freely and generously.

Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes, but I wish people would engage instead of just bury this post, unless of course you’re an advocate for censorship.
I haven’t even had a chance to look at the game from that perspective yet. I don’t know why, but this game has me so excited!

Not at all. It does not handle them (as of egoist-sitefetch-1da16fb).
Well that sounds like good idea.

As a manager you should have metrics because then you know if you tweak the process correctly. Not sharing it with employees and definitely not making any bonuses or pay increases depending on metrics. Because then employees will game your metrics and they will be useless.
