Given how things are going, maybe it will be ruled as "fair use" whereas something like controlled digital lending at the internet archive was ruled as "infringing" disgusting. So AI might become the only "legal" way to access a lot of knowledge for free you otherwise wouldn't have access to.
Sorry for the naive question: do you guys have software to help communicate your schedule with others?

The Making of the Atomic Bomb is one I read recently and really enjoyed.

I didn’t love the writing, but thought Skunkworks was full of good stories.

It is a little more character study but Dealers of Lightning is a good one.

I also enjoyed The Idea Factory.

And last, a little off the path of making things but Endurance was a good read.
It's interesting that the author is so disparaging of ChatGPT, when he himself had misremembered the title of the story as containing 'Michaelmas' and the importance of the goblins. What are these but hallucinations?

Obviously, it's no good that tools are offering useless results and making searches harder. There's also how you use the tools - asking GPT to one-shot find something that may not have been in the training data is a risk of hallucination that's easy to be aware about, while using AI to assist a web and archive search might have produced the same end result as what happened, a smart librarian kindly doing some searching.

Probably more fundamental breakthroughs are needed in how AIs 'know' stuff. But the gap between how humans and machines produce obscure half-remembered knowledge doesn't seem that big.

> First of all: identity politics are extremely right-leaning (for lack of a better term). Focusing on identity means focusing on the individual. There's nothing left-leaning on that.

Identity politics, at least as I've seen them over and over again, look at identifying an individual's struggles / privileges / speech rules / etc through their membership of groups, not their individual struggles or advantages.
This is partly because Android apps may store data in one of several locations.

In previous versions of Android it was possible for apps to store data in an arbitrary folder on the device (if the user granted the relevant permission).

That resulted in it being quite difficult for the OS to identify which files and folders related to any single app.

In more modern versions of Android, most apps are no longer allowed to write wherever they want, and are encouraged to only store data in a private folder (like iOS).

A backup system is now present that can back things up in a manner to iOS, but it's limited to 25MB per app, and some apps opt out:

tv isn’t intended to be a direct competitor to fzf, but since the two share similarities, here’s a quick breakdown of how tv differs:

- Batteries-included experience: tv is designed to work out of the box, with minimal setup.

- Smart shell integration: Autocomplete intelligently selects the right source for you.

- Interactive data source switching: You can change the data source on the fly without exiting the application.

- Centralized configuration: All settings are managed in one place, eliminating the need for custom shell scripts.

- Transitions feature: Enables interactive piping of results through multiple steps (e.g., git-repos > files > textual content in files).

- Built-in syntax-highlighted previews: More robust and integrated compared to configuring something like fzf --preview 'bat -n --color=always {0}'.

That said, tv is still an early-stage project (while fzf has been evolving for over 11 years). I’m also planning to draw inspiration from some of fzf’s excellent features in the future.

3. Register with the town office for $5.

> going with ideology (in any direction) in this type of research is useless

The only point of this type of research is to go with girlbrain ideology. Otherwise they'd be studying functional differences between people with different ratios of white matter and grey matter, and not obsessing about sex.

Instead, what they're doing is looking at any statistical differences that they can find between men and women, and assigning "differences" in the female direction with stereotypes about girls. Typical:

> You may know some boys who are very sensitive, immensely talkative about feelings, and just generally don’t seem to fit the “boy” way of doing things. As with all gender differences, no one way of doing things is better or worse.

if it is a majority today, it is because those who had pro-Ukrainian views were killed or had to leave not to be killed. people have families and not always can just "move away" - that's why they are forced to get russian passports not to be killed

it has never been internal war in the east of Ukraine, and the full scale war there today is the proof.
This is orthogonal. You're living in a society with no social safety net, one which leaves people with minimal options, and you're arguing for keeping at least those minimal options. Yes, that's better than nothing, but there are much better solutions.

The US is one of the richest countries in the world, with all that wealth going to a few people. "Give everyone else a few scraps too!" is better than having nothing, but redistributing the wealth is better.

Rationally, what you say makes sense, of course. But I love ligatures for programming. First of all, I think they just look nice.

But second, I also feel that for me, they make code a bit more readable. Without ligatures, multiple characters are often used to create one symbol; with ligatures, one symbol is always rendered as one single visual character. So if I read code, it just feels a bit easier for my brain to parse ≥, rather than >=.

Nice to read an older piece of clean C code once in a while. Gives me that cozy retro feel and fond childhood memories.

Beautifying the output sounds like a good idea, perhaps something like this should be an option of standard ls?

What strikes me is that the code (which is very idiomatic of C code) is very expressive at the function level, but most of it happens inside the few functions, and the function bodies are much less readable for those who don't write C ls clones all day. The main function is very long because it handles command line switches, that boilerplate could be moved to a function or library.

The file lc.1 (UNIX man pasge) is missing, as has already. been pointed out.

• simple/compact: single file

• small: 446 lines of C code

• flat/monolithic: lots of global variables, no separation between functionality and I/O, no separation between command and library API that does the core part of the work.

>you can infer from the number of patients included in just one study that it’s very common

No, I don't think I can infer any such thing. The original claim was that "everything else is completely and totally marginal by comparison in the US." The Reuters article cites hundreds of mastectomies on trans-male-identifying patients per year. The existence of a study on 145 mastectomies on cis-male-identifying patients does not establish the claim.

>The broader point, which I think you’ve not picked up on, is that most people are fine with gender affirming care for children as long as the children are cis - which is arguably a double standard.

I understand exactly what the point was. I just didn't think it was established. Absent a baseline statistic, the Reuters article suggested a different conclusion. Claims phrased with language like "completely and totally marginal by comparison" should be evidenced.

The way to do that would have been with a citation, such as from Wikipedia:

> According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast reduction surgeries to correct gynecomastia are fairly common but has been a recent decline. In 2020, there were over 18,000 procedures of this type performed in the United States which is down 11% compared to in 2019.

But for those who object to such surgeries on trans-identifying minors, I doubt that they would characterize such a surgery in a cis individual as "gender affirming care" anyway.
What is your point? That is similar to saying that males are generally taller than females.
Aliases have always been a double-edged sword.

They're shorter and let you be more efficient at common tasks.

They also tend to be personal and hard to share. Which can make it harder to explain what you’re doing to a coworker for pairing/debugging/training purposes. And you have to remember both the aliases and the underlying commands/options, at least enough to remember when you don’t want to use the alias.

I don’t find that I use git subcommands with a frequency that makes me want to alias them. It’s likely that different workflows lead to different optimizations.

Oops. No, no margin was intended in the stock market - that's a way to get badly burned. But I made the same mistake on the house price increase, so it works out. Just replace "10%" with "20%" and the rest should be right.

> A $50,000 investment growing at 7% annually would be worth approximately $200k after 20 years. In comparison, a $500k house would be worth about $750k with a balance of $240k remaining, assuming 2% inflation and a 7% interest rate on a 30-year note.

But why do you assume that stocks are going up 7% and housing is only going up 2%? (I assumed that houses went up the same amount as stocks, which may not be historically accurate. But only going up a third as much as stocks seems quite low.)
I share the frustration but I'm also confident that solutions will be found.

People had the same thought in 1995.
"Consider today's online world. The Usenet, a worldwide bulletin board, allows anyone to post messages across the nation. Your word gets out, leapfrogging editors and publishers.

That problem spurred many innovations over the past 30 years. Today, the barrier to posting on the internet is lower than ever but it's also never been easier to find high quality material.

To the best of our knowledge, physical reality has both discrete quantities and continuous quantities. Space and time are continuous, for example. Energy, charge, mass - all discrete. And this is not a question of just models - we've tried to create models where time or space are discrete, and they don't work. They fail to predict reality correctly.

And you're still wrong about the nature of irrational numbers. They are not a model for computational irreducibility. They basically separate different types of quantities that are not directly relatable as ratios of one another. The circumference of a circle (or any non-trivial ellipse, for that matter) is a fundamentally different quantity than the length of a straight line: this is what Pi being irrational tells us.

And yet, you can do arithmetic with circle lengths just as much as you can with sides of squares. You can add them up, divide them, everything. If for whatever reason we decided to define 1m as the circumference of a particular circle, and base our geometry around circles rather than straight lines, we'd consider circle lengths to be integer/rational numbers, and then line lengths would be irrational (the radius of a circle with circumference 1 would be 1/(2pi), an irrational number). Similarly, if we decided that 1m is defined as the diagonal length of a particular square, we'd say that the lengths of that square have irrational length, and then you'd claim that no true square has lengths of exactly sqrt(2)/2.

As I said, it's just as correct to think of any physical circle/ellipse as a many-sided polyhedron as it is to think of any physical straight line as a segment of the circumference of a circle/ellipse with a really huge radius (focal length).

In fact, it's more correct physically to think of apparently straight lines as curved than to think of curves as composed of polygons, as straight paths are very rare in physics, any kind of bias will tend to induce a slight curvature. And atoms are more circular in nature than they are "boxy".

Ultimately we can only really measure ratios of things, and we know some things are not an exact ratio of another thing when we measure them precisely enough. Which of the quantities you consider to be represented by a rational number and which you consider to be irrational is purely a choice of definitions.
your explanation boils down to "russia is an aggressor and hence will aggress". i'm considering the context - so, my perspective is a little more complicated.

Your boss won't like hearing "well technically I wasn't late because you see your clock has the seconds rounded to minutes so you can't actually know if I'm late".

The best possible outcome you could get from that is that the meeting starts at 12:59:30 now.
>Why should code have to be in a monospace font?

Because it usually is. Most people have learned it that way. What would be the point in having to learn both ways?

Having the characters on a grid makes it less likely that two characters will be interpreted as a single character. Absolute legibility is better with monospaced fonts. Programming involves a lot of characters adjacent to one another that are normally not in prose.

You could turn the question around: why anyone would ever use proportional fonts for anything other than prose? The only real advantage that a proportional font has is that you can squeeze more text into a particular space and as a result you can read faster. The increase in reading speed comes from the sort of context that you normally don't have for programming. The increase in the amount of text is not reliable (it depends on the number of thin characters) and as a result is not helpful for programming.

I actually think more people have access than don't...

Even in rural and developing regions, there are grocery stores, just not as fancy. I tried to find numbers, but it was hard to find the right source for that.

Anyone living in an urban area would have access and that is 60% of the global population. Plus, rural areas in the USA, Canada, Europe, Mexico, etc etc have access to one.

Only about 25% of the population are engaged in subsistence farming at this point.
