Kmart bought Sears (back when Sears was far from worthless, and Kmart was fresh off a chapter 11) with nothing but its own overvalued stock, which was based on an inflated valuation of its real estate from a couple of very favorable sales.

It doesn't matter how much bees have in common. The idea is that in bees, altruistic traits, that is those that produce more sisters by helping the queen have a 75% chance of being passed, because sisters share 75% of a worker bee genes. Most of the genes are the same, of course, bees won't become dogs or anything like that, but a few of them differ, and these are the one that matter.

Could worker bees be fertile and have a selfish traits that let them have more children, they would only have a 50% chance of passing these, because children share 50% of genes.

So: 75% of altruistic genes pass vs 50% of selfish genes. Altruistic genes win. Humans can't pass 75% of their genome this way, so that altruistic genes have no intrinsic advantage over selfish genes.
> Is this really true? I understand why it does not work on NixOS (I tried just out of curiosity and it seems like it is unable to exec the host systemctl for some reason) but I don't think there's any reason it wouldn't work on other OSes that merely have Nix installed.

Yeah, it get's complicated and I don't want to recommend it and explain the details. In short, I am creating the AppImage via nix. And the AppImage "mounts" (not overlays!) the AppImage's /nix/ directory. So calls from the TUI that would access /nix/ wouldn't go to the systems `/nix` directory, which leads to all kind of weird issues. For example, you could install your EDITOR via home-manager on Ubuntu. isd would start correctly because systemctl is "accessible" but if you open your EDITOR under `/nix` it wouldn't find it, which is super confusing as a user.
-> So it is just easier to say to use the nix installation method if you are already using it :D

And sorry for the wrong docs, it is fixed now.

I also agree with your frustration. Personally, I would really enjoy working on such a tool but it wouldn't be an easy task, and who would support the work? This TUI had a manageable scope but it was still quite a bit of work. So I don't see myself investing too much into "higher-level interfaces".

My mind is blown, a new language where I can see new reach. Back in the day, APL was good at multidimensional arrays, and from there could outstrip Fortran shops at anything. A surprising swath of discrete reality can be viewed as a graph, or graphs of graphs. For me, computational group theory, combinatorial enumeration, canonical forms... All topics Claude 3.5 Sonnet happens to be exceptional at.

Even a month ago, I'd have asked "Where's the parallelism?" looking at any new language. AI has upended my world. My subscriptions are getting out of hand, they're starting to look like some peoples' sports channel cable bills. I'll be experimenting with the right specification prompt to get AI to write correct programs in three languages side by side, in either Cursor or Windsurf. Then ask it to write a better prompt, and go test that in the other editor. I'm not sleeping much, it's like buying my first Mac.

One constant debate I have with Claude is how much the choice of language affects AI reasoning ability. There's training corpus, but AI is even more appreciative of high level reasoning constructs than we are. AI doesn't need our idioms; when it taught itself the game Go it came up with its own.

So human documentation is nice, but who programs that way anymore? Where's the specification prompt that suffices for Claude to code whatever we want in Dusa?

> A Blender programmer calculating cloth physics would rather have 4x weaker cores than 1x P-core.

Is this true? In most of my work I'd usually rather have a single serializable thread of execution. Any parallelism usually comes with added overhead of synchronization, and added mental overhead of having to think about parallel execution. If I could freely pick between 4 IPC worth of single core or 1 IPC per core with 4 cores I'd pretty much always pick a single core. The catch is that we're usually not trading like for like. Meaning I can get 3 IPC worth of single core or 4 IPC spread over 4 cores. Now I suddenly have to weigh the overhead and analyze my options.

Would you ever rather have multiple cores or an equivalent single core? Intuitively it feels like there's some mathematics here.

It should be noted that Intel Skymont has the same area and it should also have the same performance for any backend-limited application with Arm Cortex-X4 (a.k.a. Neoverse V3) (both use 1.7 square mm in the "3 nm" TSMC fabrication process, while a Zen 5 compact might have an almost double area in the less dense "4 nm" process, with full vector pipelines, and a 3 square mm area with reduced vector pipelines, in the same less dense process).

Arm Cortex-X4 has the best performance per area of among the cores designed by Arm. Cortex-X925 has a double area in comparison with Cortex-X4, which results in a much lower performance per area. Cortex-A725 is smaller in area, but the area ratio is likely to be smaller than the performance ratio (for most kinds of execution units Cortex-X4 has a double number, while for some it has only a 50% or a 33% advantage), so it is likely that the performance per area of Cortex-A725 is worse than for Cortex-X4 and for Skymont.

For any programs that benefit from vector instructions, Zen 5 compact will have a much better performance per area than Intel Skymont and Arm Cortex-X4.

For programs that execute mostly irregular integer and pointer operations, there are chances for Intel Skymont and Arm Cortex-X4 to achieve better performance per area, but this is uncertain.

Intel Skymont and Arm Cortex-X4 have a greater number of integer/pointer execution units per area than Zen 5 compact, even if Zen 5 compact were made with a TSMC process equally dense, which is not the case today.

Despite that, the execution units of Zen 5 compact will be busy a much higher percentage of the time, for several reasons. Zen 5 is better balanced, it has more resources for ensuring out-of-order and multithreaded execution, it has better cache memories. All these factors result in a higher IPC for Zen 5.

It is not clear whether the better IPC of Zen 5 is enough to compensate its greater area, when performing only irregular integer and pointer operations. Most likely is that in such cases Intel Skymont and Arm Cortex-X4 remain with a small advantage in performance per area, i.e. in performance per dollar, because the advantage in IPC of Zen 5 (when using SMT) may be in the range of 10% to 50%, while the advantage in area of Intel Skymont and Arm Cortex-X4 might be somewhere between 50% and 70%, had they been made with the same TSMC process.

On the other hand, for any program that can be accelerated with vector instructions, Zen 5 compact will crush in performance per area (i.e. in performance per dollar) any core designed by Intel or Arm.

It gets you closer for sure. But while ~250GB/s is a whole lot better than SO-DIMMs at ~100GB/s, the new mid-tier GPUs are probably more like 640-900GB/s.

That makes a lot of sense. There's not really much trivial that I think you can do to deal with that.

It's not really a big deal, I was just surprised and wondered if anyone who was compelled to vote down might come back to explain why.
I always considered the permanent keys/identities of Nostr to be a desirable thing. I had basically invented Nostr before fiatjaf did. It's a trivially simple "concept".

Key rotation is an unnecessary complexity, imo. I never heard of anyone wanting to use a domain name as identity in Nostr, but there's probably a NIP for that where a domain can prove it owns the private key, and be used as an identity.

I mainly quit Nostr development because it was all essentially controlled by 'fiatjaf', and he was making bad decisions, and a childish intolerable arrogant person in general whenever people asked him to justify those decisions.
FFMpeg is one of those tools that is really quite hard to use. The sheer surface area of the possible commands and options is incredible and then there is so much arcane knowledge around the right settings. Its defaults aren't very good and lead to poor quality output in a lot of cases and you can get some really weird errors when you combine certain settings. Its an amazingly capable tool but its equipped with every foot gun going.
Not OP but it used to be that if you wanted an LLM that would cite its sources - Perplexity was one of the only games in town that did a really good job combining an LLM with an active search engine.

> The counter to incorrect information is facts - not trying to hide it.

I'm sorry, but that's a load of baloney on par with "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear".

Second of all: it's obviously false. There are loads of examples - contemporary as well as older - where people actively peddled "incorrect information" to line their own pockets at the expense of the money/health/wellbeing of others. Having the facts does not repair the damage, nor does it prevent future harm.

But, firstly and more importantly, this framing suggests we should allow for misinformation. We absolutely shouldn't. The public debate isn't resilient to malicious actors. That's what makes misinformation so dangerous and what makes this slogan so hollow. It assumes good faith on all parties. There isn't, so stop advocating for solutions that require that.

In more detail: the public debate is meant for an actual exchange of ideas, thereby enlightening the participants. Anyone who is not interested in that, shouldn't participate. In particular, misinformation should be barred from the public debate. - and those spreading it held to account.

Whether it is knowingly claiming that lead is harmless, that smoking has no negative effects on your health, or anything vaguely political of the last dozen or so years: if you're unaware, it's not your fault yet, but you'll need to stop being ignorant. If you're aware that the information you're spreading is wrong: shame on you! You should be barred from participating in (that line of the) public debate.
It's a "shared heap". There are relays that collect and pass the entire firehose of events through themselves to interested parties, there are PDSes that store each user's data, and there are AppViews that users interact with. It's not very decentralized and not at all self-hosting-friendly.

On the other hand, rocket launches produce a lot of vibration, and you don't want it to require fixing on orbit. Astronaut labor time I once saw calculated to cost something like $1M USD/astronaut/day in terms of long-tail logistical support.

Once it's up there, it's a negligible percent of the total spacecraft mass, and might be useful for later astronaut photographers.
RSS 1.0 was created in 2000. We are talking about a time where the browser that dominated the market was Internet Explorer 5, where virtually no website would render on strict standards mode, and MS refused to introduce any significant changes if it meant breaking its compatibility mode. People realized that that asking the whole web to adopt XHTML fully would never happen, so a new XML-based format hat was separate from the webpages was needed.

(Also, a bit of a side rant: now that I am working on ActivityPub stuff I'm finding less and less sympathy for those that jump into code and push for "pragmatic" solutions. The ActivityPub spec is not perfect, but it's incredible how almost everyone implementing ActivityPub ignores JSON-LD and RDF and just want to wing with the JSON messages. It gets to the point where perfectly valid JSON-LD will get refused to anything that is not called Mastodon, because everyone else is just parsing the JSON they receive and completely ignoring @context directives)
Interesting. I wouldn’t shave advised a site with spammy ads but it looks like they are sufficiently caught in my ad block.
Actually I think you missed the point. The point wasn't that Americans can talk about anything we want; it's that the Chinese can't talk about the "bad" things that have happened in their country, and many (most?) don't even know about it. If you log into Rednote and ask "What happened on June 4th," you're going to get banned by Chinese censors.

Whereas most Americans know that health insurance is some babyback bullshit that might have worked at one time but doesn't work anymore; and that cost of living is too high in certain cities. The fact that we're sitting here typing at each other about it is proof positive.

While I love unsubscribing to everything, the problem is it compounds the problem of being siloed.

I’m moving towards a world where I don’t unsubscribe, but I rely on AI to provide me a daily summary of everything I don’t absolutely need.

Hmm, no you’re right. This does sound an awful lot like the One Laptop Per Child tech.

My understanding is that o1's chain-of-thought tokens are in its own internal embedding, and anything human-readable the UI shows you is a translation of these CoT tokens into natural language.

There is though, because it gives you the price that it's worth to the buyers, which is the amount of benefit the buyers derive from it existing, which is the amount of incentive we want to provide to create it.

For something that wouldn't otherwise exist, the monopoly price for a temporary period of time is a close approximation to what would maximize welfare -- it's proportional to the value of having it exist without being the whole thing, because it becomes a competitive commodity when the patent expires.

Great point about the queen bee. The queen also uses her stinger inside her own hive. If the hive believes she is nearing the end of her reproductive abilities, they’ll rear other queens. She has to defend her position and quickly goes to kill the new queens when they emerge or she’ll be replaced. Beekeepers generally replace their queens every 2 years or so, and have to remove the old queen to prevent this behavior as well.

> That's why you don't go near a hive without protection.

This is true and recommended for just about everyone.. however, I have known some beekeepers that can do it. If you smoke the bees well, they’ll get calm enough that they won’t sting. It’s thought to be likely because the smoke covers pheromones, and also because the smoke causes the bees to begin hoarding honey in case they need to quickly leave a burning hive.

I was never brave enough to attempt it, however during my time beekeeping I was amazed at how magical smoke was. Picking up handfuls of bees in their hive and not being swarmed feels like a super power.
