It’s not just that. Manual entry is still a thing happening too often. Yes, some apps allow to put your booking in a calendar, but that doesn’t cover all use cases. You call, make an appointment — getting an ical via SMS after the call would be great. You open a website, then check there the opening hours or schedule, taking that information to your calendar app would be great. Etc etc.
Key word being "most". I attended a state funded grammar school in the 2000s.

I think this way of thinking is an uphill battle.

My kid uses wifi, google classroom tools, youtube, games,... I can tell him if only you knew command.com, ipconfig, doom.wad formats, lateg,... you could be so much more proficient. I already know this will never happen, just like I never learned x86 assembly.

The same goes for tools like LLMs, once you are used to them, your knowledge shifts.

20 years ago I read about a Dutch company that sold pure alcohol for consumption to Russia, where people would drink one sip of pure alcohol followed by two sips of orange juice.

Hopefully the only country with a market for that.
I see people more and more ignoring this rule too on wider non light controlled (Zebra) crossings. Sadly a lot of them are taxi drivers and they are often recent immigrants. Rules vary a lot, but in Europe the general rule seems to be that the driver is not penalised for crossing lane of a crosswalk behind a pedestrian after they have passed the middle of the road. I have no idea if that is actual law, but you see it in France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Czechia and Spain for sure (as in I have witnessed it there first hand.)

"Cars driving at you" is probably a dialectical thing.
Just use Nix/Home Manager on Ubuntu or something instead of NixOS. You get, by far, most of the reproducibility and none of the NixOS issues. NixOS feels more like a great server environment, but not that good of a DE.
I remember reading someone talking about how Proton couldn't be that secure (ultimately) because they relied on a javascript front end.

I recalled this when I read some crypto security efforts were focused on removing any javascript dependencies. I was like... hmmmm.....
To be fair `tar` is quite easy to use once you understand the grammar of the options.
The "memories" part can be trivially done locally and probably is, it's really just reading the picture's "date taken", so it's conceptually as easy as a "sort by date". My old Android with whatever Photos app came with it (not Google's) shows this despite being disconnected for so long.

There's nothing stopping either Apple or Google from giving users an option to just disable these connected features, globally or per-app. Just allow a "no cloud services" toggle switch in the Photos app, get the warning that $FEATURES will stop working, and be done.

I know why Google isn't doing this, they're definitely monetizing every bit of that analyzed content. Not really sure about Apple though, might be that they consider their setup with HE as being on par with no cloud connectivity privacy wise.

1. What about a thumb cluster with 4 keys in a row? IDK if it's workable, maybe not. My experience with Ergodox says pressing top row on thumb cluster is too clumsy. (Maybe it's easier with dactyl-like keyboards?)

2. On Ergodox EZ, and non-English layout, I need more keys. Unfortunately, the right side corner of ISO keyboard has to be distributed among other places on Ergodox EZ. (I'd love to have home/pgup/pgdn/end column somewhere, like on laptops. Maybe the rightmost end of kbd is not the best place for it, IDK.)

3. Adding extra row/column causes lower row collide with the thumb cluster. I guess, it's reasonable, but I don't know what's the workaround. (remove the lower row completely?) https://imgur.com/a/vdfOLq1

Good idea about finger scanning.

I tried the scan the hand and simulate features. Will the editor make different halves of the keyboard?

Also, thumb bends differently than in the simulator. :)

Sort of. According to the text they can use multiple z-vectors (sets of weights that select for parts of the system to be used to answer a specific question) simultaneously, using a "simple optimization algorithm" to determine the relative weight for each of these vectors.
> The reason is simple: the authors suppose a CLOSED timelike curve, i.e. something like a circle, where you travel back in time and BECOME your younger self

Exactly. This part of the paper is not really surprising or newsworthy. If you apply periodic boundary conditions, you get periodicity, duh. In the case of CTCs, this has been known for a long time[0].

> A slightly different scenario would be much more interesting, but my guess is that it's much harder to analyze: […]

Agreed. The only result I'm aware of in this context is a paper from the 90s by Echeverria, Klinkhammer, and Thorne about a thought experiment (Polchinski's Paradox) involving a billard ball entering a wormhole and colliding with its past self. Wikipedia[0] gives a good overview of the result.

I didn't know about this but after several documentaries on the medium to long term impact of these projects many areas being more detrimental than beneficial I tend to be a bit skeptical. I get particularly skeptical when the whole website is geared towards taking in corporate donations rather than teaching how to do it and direct action and a sort of wiki of how to do it yourself as well as evangelizing that.

I didn't spend too long on the website but this page https://justdiggit.org/dig-in/farmer/start-regreening/ seems to be the closest to that, yet it's still no instructions and just marketing. I don't want to sound too negative or make a judgment call with too little information but wanted to share my worries as it has become all too common for grifters to take advantage of the situation in a sort of partnership with huge corporation leadership teams. They get free money and the leadership team gets to greenwash whatever they do in their core business.

I never researched this specific one in detail other than a few minutes now, but the company I worked for previously used to do this style of donations and we found a lot of projects like this.
The issue is that the open protocols IMAP, CalDAV, and CardDAV weren't built with E2EE in mind. This is the big reason why you can't use 3rd party calendar clients with Proton.
UK has this addition from the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act:

Your comment is correct but this was already stated in earlier comments. This is probably why you are being downvoted.
I know about nonguix. It's the only way the wifi drivers work on my laptop. But it doesn't have half the stuff Nix does. I need a nix service running in my system configuration to install Teams and Discord. That channel is practically unmaintained compared with Nix, I'd guess because it's not an official part of Guix.
We have it here in the UK as well, although it's not quite as harsh (except for large amounts of cash, which the police don't consider normal). The seized items were either being actively used in the crime or it can be shown could only have been purchased through proceeds of crime (eg admin assistant earning 20k who was drug dealing) has a million pound house with no other explanation)
Pretty much any non-carbureted car should do that. All fuel injected cars have some mechanism for controlling idle, which involves some kind of valve bypassing the throttle (for mechanical throttle linkages) or just directly actuating the throttle blades (for drive-by-wire systems). There should be enough travel in the idle circuit to allow a tiny opening to keep idle low enough once the engine is warm, and a large enough opening to keep idle high enough to prevent stalling when the transmission is engaged.
Fair point - performative would be continuing to be their attorney.

Virtue signaling is probably more accurate, as a sibling comment noted.

> To be honest I'm surprised google isn't using a uuid tied to the account for the identity given to others

But they are providing a unique, stable, never reused identifier tied to the account, as has been mentioned a number of times in this thread. It's the "sub" field[0], whose entire purpose is to be the unique identifier for tying the IDP's data to the RP's data.

What they're not doing is to provide that unique id in the "email" field, because the purpose of the email field is to contain the email address. The documentation even specifically tells not to use it as the primary identifier.

> The e-mail should only be used as metadata for contact info

Indeed. But that's up to the relying party. The only way to prevent them from checking the wrong field would be to not provide them the email address at all, even when they're explicitly requesting it.

My neighbours kid took the 11+ two years ago to go to a state funded selective school in Warwickshire. 4 of my friends went to a grammar school (slate funded) in the 2000s and that school still exists in the same form it did back then.

Most grammar schools are gone but there are far from none.

I’ve been using it a lot recently. Multiple times even today while I’ve been trying to find just the right photos of my theater for a brochure I’m putting together. I have over 100,000 photos in Apple photos so even if I vaguely remember when I took a photo it’s still difficult to find it manually.

As a concrete example, someone on my team today asked me “can you send me that photo from the comedy festival a couple years ago that had the nice projections on the proscenium?”. I searched apple photos (on my phone, while hiking through a park) for “sketchfest theater projection”. It used the OCR to find Sketchfest and presumably the vector embeddings of theater and projection. The one photo she was referring to was the top result. It’s pretty impressive.

It can’t always find the exact photo I’m thinking of the first time, but I can generally find any vaguely-remembered photo from years ago without too much effort. It is pretty magical. You should get in the habit of trying it out, you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised.
I haven't worked in FAANG, but have seen and personally fired people before. All were justified, and in times where I had to do the firing I was always late. And I knew I was late because the team would say, 'about time'.
> And why can't I search for the title of a page I know is in my history

I sometimes use Edge as a fallback browser, and it suffers from this problem, too, and yeah, it is sooo annoying – much as I'm unhappy about various Firefox changes in the last years, I wouldn't switch to a different browser for that alone.

Interestingly, Edge (and probably Chrome, too, unless it's a strange Microsoft customisation) simultaneously suffers from the problem that on the rare occasion where an addressbar search actually delivers a locally history result, the autocomplete is often too precise, because it prefills the whole URL, not just the domain.
1) If Companies could just outsource this work they would already. An H1B Visa sponsorship is more costly than outsourcing.

2) H1B visa recipients very famously send money back to their home countries. Taking money out of our economy makes your "lesser of two evils" much muddier.

3) Federal taxes are not sufficient to raise the living standards of everyone in the US. Why do you think the concept of Welfare States exists?

> and the money is spent here for housing, food, cars, etc.. w

see point 2

The issue is actually much more complicated than you phrased it and that could be why many people are not willing to fall on the sword in the hope that our government will save them.

When the government starts giving out paychecks based on the federal tax revenue then I will assume the government will pay my rent. Till then you're basically saying "well the homeless shelters will be nicer for y'all"

Edit: Also your thinking leaves no room for the lost man-hours Americans spend applying to jobs that don't exist.

You actually do, same thing he did with Twitter - just more of it.
The interesting thing here is that the human brain also seems to use pretrained ... things. For vision, use the visual subsystem. For hearing, use the auditory subsystem. For movement ... you get the point. Plus you can combine these pretrained ... things, so for example for complex movement, like balancing on a tightrope, multiple subsystems are used (try standing on one leg with your eyes closed).

Z-vectors are of course nothing like the subsystems in your brain, but general the approach is certainly similar to how the brain works.
Wow, that is better. Nice find.
Yeah but how is that funding actually applied?

You could throw an extreme amount of money at schools but require it be spent on specific initiatives. Things like resource officers, hiring someone with specific qualifications, and boatloads of staff training.

You can average that out to a per student basis and say "look we're spending so much on education" but if the money is going to train teachers how to deal with crisis situations like school shooters, it's not really being spent on educating the student.
How that money actually gets allocated matters.

This is exactly how I’ve taught all three of my kids to ride their bikes. :)
> all free-access grammar schools were completely gone from my area before I was even born.

That's because you lived in an area that didn't have the 11+ exam. I did, and I went to a state-funded grammar school in the 1990s. It's still there, famously.
Now I understand why these 10-15Nm race sim wheels are really expensive.
There's a better way but it requires a very large space like a big empty parking lot.

...and that's it! Turns out the hard part is not riding a bike but riding a bike in a straight line. Once you've got the hang of riding wherever the bike seems to want to go, you can gradually learn to get it under control. Surprisingly easy!
Curiously, the easiest Google product to move away from is "google" (search):

I have been using DuckDuckGo for years, both for searching and browsing. I love the ability to burn the cookies after each session!

But I haven't been able to replace Gmail, Calendar and Maps (which are quite good products IMO).

It's quite ironic that "google" (search) has become one of Google's worst products.
This guy was not really trying to explain to hacker parents how they should teach their kids to ride a bike. As has has been adequately demonstrated in the comments they already know aaaaaaaall about that. His actual point, which seems to have whooshed past most people’s heads, is much more interesting: can you learn a thing more effectively by first simplifying that thing so radically that a seasoned user would find it useless? Also not exactly a totally new idea but, depending on context, just counterintuitive enough that you may miss it.
Hi! I am quite a beginner when it comes to file systems. Would this sync effect not be helped by direct IO in ZFS's case?

Also, given that you seem quite knowledgeable of the topic, what is your go-to backup solution?

I initially thought about storing `zfs send` files into backblaze (as backup at a different location), but without recv-ing these, I don't think the usual checksumming works properly. I can checksum the whole before and after updating, but I'm not convinced if this is the best solution.
The flaw is the fact that companies go bankrupt and their data should die with them. In case of bankruptcy it might be impossible to hold on to your DNS and therefore risking old company data leaking.
Protecting Taiwan would mean WWIII. I hope the West and the Taiwanese figure this out ASAP and start moving as many people as possible out of there, and destroy all the fabs.

China is building more warships than the rest of the world combined. And NATO can't even recruit enough people to man their existing fleet.

But it seems the West is a victim of its own propaganda so there's no political will.

Indeed! This is an age-old method, this is what a dandy horse is for! In France, and surely many other places, you see the kids of young age on dandy horses ("draisiennes") coming to and from the school supervised by their parents. As a rite of passage towards the bicycle :)

Pedalling is the difficult part of learning to ride a bike. Balancing alone is not easy from scratch, balancing while pedalling is orders of magnitude trickier.

If you do not quite remember how it was when you were first learning to ride a bicycle, you may recall (or carefully experiment with) learning to ride hands-free, and note the increase in difficulty when you start to pedal as opposed to just coasting.

The advice to start teaching kids by taking off the pedals completely is perfectly reasonable as a way of making the initial learning curve less steep.
It might make more sense of you think of spacetime as literally one thing, with one constant value. That value being c (or some meta value that boils down to the same thing).

Energy in all its forms (including velocity), mass, etc. or the lack thereof being ‘space’, and time being what you have ‘left over’ when you subtract ‘space’.

The more mass, or velocity, etc. you have, the less ‘time’ you get left over. That is time dilation, both in the presence of masses and when you’ve got a lot of velocity (because having a lot of velocity means you have a lot of energy).

That is an alternative formulation of e=mc^2. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivale...].

At the point your velocity hits c (somehow), you have no ‘time’ left over from your perspective, so wherever you go, you go there instantly from your perspective. No time has passed for you. Same if you are ‘inside’ a singularity like a black hole.

Space time curvature (aka gravity) may arise from that effect not just being a point one, but a subtle cumulative area effect.

In that model, time travel, FTL, and any other lack of causality (aka effect after cause) make no sense, because there is no ‘lever’ for such a thing to ever happen.

Maybe if someone could invent negative mass/energy (we currently have no evidence/idea such a thing could exist!), or a way to manipulate the fundamental factors that make spacetime spacetime. We have no concrete idea how to even conceive of trying such a thing idea right now though.

That result is terrifyingly boring in its implications though, which is why we try to avoid it.

There are boarding schools, schools of the air, etc. Serious parents can move house for catchments, etc.

I grew some 1,500km north of the nearest city and got by .. still managed to hook up with Terrence Tao and Paul Erdős when I got to university and ran a math club. When one of my kids was ready for high school we got a house in the catchment of the only public school with an aviation program so they could build and fly a light aircraft.

> The issue is that you need the absence of children who would hold back the class,

I enjoyed going to school with hunter gathers in the Kimberley .. I don't feel they held me back, I did get to learn how to fish, to hunt, to swear in several languages.

Despite a lot fighting at high school, on and off the fooball field, I managed to pick up enough abstract algebra to work on CAYLEY/MAGMA which cracked a few quantum encryption candidates recently, enough linear algebra and calculas to author a geophysical processing suite, etc.
Success itself could be to blame for the recent reversion.

The problem is to scale that properly. If you have millions of documents, that won't scale that well. You are not going to prompt the LLM millions of times, aren't you?

Embedding models usually have fewer parameters than the LLMs, and once we index the documents, their retrieval is also pretty fast. Using LLM as a judge makes sense, but only on a limited scale.
