Maybe not exactly at that point, but the article said they could hear the rescue helicopters, but still had to wait more than a day in darkness to be rescued.

Noises are also very different above and below water - even when you’re in an air pocket. They knew they were still at the surface and trapped in a capsized vessel.

This is an interesting feature.

Basically, it allows OP to be a dang, or reddit-style mod of their own thread.

Negative: If OP is not interested in opposing views, they can shut that down.

Plus: the option to kill trolls, dead.

These types of design decisions all have plusses and minuses, but I am in favor of killing trolls given that if someone is militantly not into hearing opposing views, I can just not follow them.
I feel like aeronautics and astronautics are deeply connected. Both depend upon aerodynamics, 6dof control, and guidance in forward flight. Advancing aviation construction techniques were the basis of rockets, etc.

Sure, rocketry to LEO asks more in strength of materials, and aviation doesn’t require liquid fueled propulsion or being able to control attitude in vacuum.

These aren’t unconnected developments. Space travel grew straight out of aviation and military aviation. Indeed, look at the vertical takeoff aircraft from the 40s and 50s, evolving into missile systems with solid propulsion and then liquid propulsion.
Right, "sharing" here must mean DNA that was cloned from the same ancestral DNA strand, not merely that it shares the same informational content. I got lost in the analogies that frame things in terms of what's "better" for the organism and lost sight of this.

The most important thing from the perspective of replication of a DNA strand is the number of copies of DNA passed to the next generation, and future generations, right? Which would be 0.75 * (mean marginal increase in next-generation sisters) + 0.5 * (mean # offspring). The probability that these next-generation individuals actually get to reproduce in turn would also factor in somewhere.

What's also interesting is that if we take the point of view of the queen (through whom the altruistic genes must pass), the queen's reproductive strategy is relatively few children + hordes of sterile helpers + killing her own sisters. So are we talking about a fitness advantage of altruistic traits (maximizing # sisters), or a fitness advantage from selfish traits [maximizing P(fertile child survival) I guess, since # children is small] that produce hordes of sterile helpers?

Edit: Circling back to the organism perspective, in the sense of "I would gladly give up my life for two brothers or eight cousins.", how many bees is it worth giving up one's own life for in that specific sense? We do have a common ancestor after all and thus a non-zero R-factor.
Id say it’s tough to call elon musk a con artist. Many other names might apply but that one not so much.
With Proton’s catch-all and sieve filters, I’ve simplified my method to the following:

* Every company I interact with gets a different email alias (no tags - company@mydomain.com)

* Every company gets a category tag (Finances, Travel, Entertainment, etc)

* Every category gets a folder by importance (finances are Important, travel is Somewhat Important, Entertainment is Not Important), with different retention periods (forever, 1 year, 1 month)

It’s a simple model that only requires me to put my alias in one of the rules on first receipt.

For unwieldy senders, like Klaviyo (one of their users spammed me more-than-daily and their CS was of no use), I set up a reject sieve filter literally telling them to fuck off. The emails did stop after a while, I think they got the message.
Not all users are the same for Ad Revenue.
Can you actually buy that for a handful of seats? All the benefits they're touting apply only to massive installations. So it sounds to me that they wouldn't be interested in selling this to home users. They'll probably refer you to element one or the community version.

But I have not asked, that's true.
> most Kubernetes deployment don't even run containerd anymore

I assume you mean moby, which was used via dockershim in Kubernetes until support was removed in v1.24.

I can't find a reliable source, but I believe containerd, followed by CRI-O and alternatives, are the common choices of container runtime for Kubernetes.

> The market for prosumer cards with high VRAM and low FLOPS would be negligibly small.

I don't agree. I regularly get VSCode crashing because it ran out of VRAM.

8GB VRAM starts to feel cramped when you have to composite multiple web browsers (aka Electron apps) onto your 4K monitor screen.

nVidia not offering 16GB on consumer level cards is purely a market segmentation strategy and AMD should make them pay for it.
Since when does iOS let you set up E-mail filters?
I just wish WASM could use more than one ArrayBuffer at a time. Would eliminate unnecessary copying for interop with JS code.

The point still stands, they don't have enough of a relative valuation to even be considered serious and a balance sheet that would be a rounding error to ByteDance.

That feels like a turtles-all-the-way-dowm problem.

All of these words that I wish I could have put in the same order, but I can't because I'm not a good writer. Fully agree 100%. Just a man after my own heart. And like the article says, everything that I know about these yutzes has been against my will and I wish I could wipe my mind free of them.

1. Obsidian. I can’t say I use it to the fullest, but I create folders and subfolders for important areas in my personal and professional life.

2. I use dictation more than pen and paper these days. I have a shortcut set up on my phones action button that pastes the transcript from my dictation into my daily note. I’ll likely move to a weekly note instead shortly.

3. I wrote about this on my website recently: https://www.jonathon.site/productivity

4. Task breakdowns limit my procrastination. I’m thinking of creating a Claude project that can take items on my to do list and break them into bite-sized subtasks.

5. Using Obsidian’s Web Clipper, Readwise Reader, MyMind and Twitter bookmarks helps me archive ideas to reflect on later. I’d say the majority of the new ideas I come across are from the web. I’m still working on the best way to keep it all organized.

Mobile controls could potentially be improved by anchoring first touch position

I touch and drag right to move to the right, but I find the character sometimes starts to move to the left simply because my thumb jitters naturally, even though I'm still holding to the right of first press.

I also find it hard to anticipate if my taps are going to jump or throw a spear.

Awesome job!! I remember when HTML5 was first pushed as the replacement for flash based webapps, the input latency was always terrible and I mourned the death of Flash. I'm glad that this seems to be a mostly solved issue, most of the recent web games I've tried have felt as good as native or flash.

Being able to share block lists sounds like a perfect formula for an even more extreme version of the social media echo chamber effect we've seen on other platforms. Now, not only can you subscribe to those with like opinions, but the collective can reject dissenting opinions en masse. What could go wrong?

To be clear you also need a health insurance plan for medication in Canada generally. The difference is that drug prices are regulated by the provinces, so they cost less. However, this also affects which drugs are available.

Some provinces such as Quebec have a public drug insurance plan as well which you pay into via income tax if you haven't got a private plan.
I have been web searching using Google from the command line, with no Javascript, for decades. Until last week I never sent a User Agent HTTP header either. After this change I'm still searching from the command line, no Javascript. Thus "requiring Javascript" is not a correct phrase to describe this change. The requirement is a User Agent HTTP header with an approved value. The only difference in searching for me as of the last few days is that I now send a User Agent HTTP header, with an "approved" string.

Javascript does not stop bots. At least it does not stop Googlebot.

IMO, the change is to funnel more people (cf. bots) into seeing AI-generated search results. The "AI" garbage requires Javascript. That is why the spokesperson suggests "degraded" search results for people who are not using Javascript. For me, the results are improved by avoiding the AI garbage, not degraded.
On the other hand, I guess with this it's possible to overfit a decent model to my org for $450.

One should investigate closely the connection between (well-supported) theories of physics and "reality", which, I gather, in this case means something like "the ontology of the universe".

Is the universe "actually made of" a flexible substance that moves according to the equations of GR? In one sense, it doesn't matter. It acts like it does, and so well that we can make very precise predictions about what will happen.

Suppose a naysayer in 2010 said "Well, GR is a nice mathematical formalism, but mathematical formalism isn't reality. It's preposterous to think space is actually made of this mysterious flexible substance. You'll never see gravitational waves. It's a fiction of the math."

The naysayer has conflated the claim "GR is ontologically true" with the claim "GR makes accurate predictions." The first is irrelevant, and may be freely denied without casting meaningful doubt on the second, which has been well-tested for a century. It would be a great surprise to conduct an experiment and learn that GR mispredicted the result.

QM predicts QC. To doubt QC is to doubt that QM accurately predicts experiments we can conduct. In this case, once again, a century of experiments cuts the other direction. The failure of QC would be the surprise, not its success.
I largely agree, but it is odd to write that column and not mention Mastodon/ActivityPub.

On one hand, it is another alternative if Bluesky falls, but on the other hand I feel like the algorithm makes it a different sort of community.
There is some thought that we haven't factored anything yet via Shor's. The previous demonstrations assumed the results in their construction.
> With no mathematical rigor there is no mathematical understanding. You are robbing yourself, as the concepts are meaningless without the context.

I will think more about this, but I'm not sure I agree. I have enjoyed reading Feynman talk about twins and one going on a supersonic vacation without understanding the math. Verisimilitude allows a modeling of understanding with a scalar representation of scientific knowledge, so why not?

Of course I would like to understand the math in its purest forms–just the same as I wanted to read 1Q84 in Japanese to be able to fully experience it in its purest form, but my life isn't structured in a way were that is realistic even if the knowledge of the Japanese language is free.

> Truly appreciate the power of linear approximations by going through algebra, appreciate the tricks of calculus, marvel at the inherent tradeoffs of knowledge with estimator theory, and see the joy of the central limit theorem being true.

I can't even foil so the journey toward understanding can feel unattainable in the time resources I have. This absolutely may be a limiting belief, but the concept of knowledge being free ignores the time cost for some exploring these outside of academia or professional setting.

Ok sorry for misunderstanding you. I'm glad those will be fixed and in the FOSS implementation <3 I thought this might happen only if things work out with the pro version first.

> WHAT?! It’s the opposite! We’re trying to fund the FOSS dev!! Where did it say that?!

Ah sorry it looks like I also misunderstood this blog post from 2023: https://matrix.org/blog/2023/11/06/future-of-synapse-dendrit...

I thought the community version was left for the community to maintain when it was forked. Especially because the foundation said they wouldn't be able to fund further development.

But I see now that it just meant that element would become the official host for synapse.

With the other blog post (the recent one about synapse pro) it just goes into so much detail about the shortcomings of the community version that it kinda implies they won't be fixed. After all, if that were the case one could just wait and the problem would solve itself.

But I apologise for drawing the wrong conclusions and arguing for them here.

I do really understand you're in a difficult position. And I don't have a solution either.
Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook should be required to integrate XMPP into their messaging products.

Matrix is a cool idea but we now have like 1 server implementation that isn't somewhat gimpy, and its closed source... XMPP is much more compelling.
Yea I am also not that familiar with the different editions that are available and the whole ecosystem is confusing to me with matrix/element/dendrite/synapse etc.

I feel like though they would have some accessible paid plan for “smaller” users that want to support the development of the project long term - I believe this is the most sustainable way to build complex “big” FOSS projects - apart from having someone sacrifice themselves for the greater good I guess
It is super easy to make bullets at home. I started making my own when I lived in San Francisco where a) there are no gun shops b) ammo sales require a background check so I had to drive an hour c) the rounds I was shooting were $2 ea.

None of the components are controlled. The setup cost can be as low as $700 and you can make a bullet in about 45 seconds.
> Old, mature tooling would by and large still be applicable (it's still your ordinary x86/ARM machine code)

It wasn't, though. Since NaCl ran code in the same process as the renderer, it depended upon a verifier for security, and required the generated code to follow some unusual constraints to support that verification. For example, on x86, all branch targets were required to be 32-byte aligned, and all indirect branches were required to use a specific instruction sequence to enforce that alignment. Generating code to meet these constraints required a modified compiler, and reduced code density and speed.

In any case, NaCl would have run into the exact same GC issues if it had been used more extensively. The only reason it didn't was that most of the applications it saw were games which barely interacted with the JS/DOM "world".
Animation bone format probably needs a redesign. Human anatomy is universally represented as a simple chain of sticks with ball joints at the end, which is good enough for many purposes but not ideal for closeup shots of muscular figures.
I think the previous post mentions the `service` command, which has `service foo start` pattern.

I'm used to `service` command, so I have muscle memory which `systemd` breaks. The way `systemd` commands are laid out is better, it just messes with `service` command muscle memory.
When I was a kid I messed with computers because they were new, fun, and interesting. At the time I never realized they'd be my source of a living in the future.

Current AI has brought back a lot of that wonder and interest for me, and I'm sure the same is true for a lot of other computer nerds.
"tit for tat" is a rational act after getting burned for cooperating.
You start open and cooperative, expect reciprocity, and when you don't get it you finally retaliate. A bad faith actor might even accuse you of not living up to your core values in order to persuade you into continuing to play the losing strategy.

The youngest tiktokers weren't even born yet or were just infants/toddlers when Google first got banned there. They may not understand what's going on here because by the time they came of age nearly all major western social media sites were already blocked there and for them it's status quo now. From their point of view the US is being the censor. They are at prime age to go on red book out of spite, but I hope they'll eventually understand.
The seems like it would best be solved with an additional, optional attestation layer on top of domain-based uniqueness though.

Nobody cares if I'm ethbr1 or ethbr2. Uniqueness and stability suffices for me.

People do care if {famous person} is {famous person}. Therefore there should be some attestation process for mapping who the current official domain is for {famous person}.
I have a personal theory that genetics and survival just need to be good enough. They may find other local maxima and improve things. But they don't need to be perfect in every dimension. There is room for stuff that doesn't make sense to human logic. In addition because species don't generally breed with other species you need to find those optimisations through chance within a species. And genes are not a feature list. Turn one gene on and something else may turn off. There are trade off too.
Oh wow, I wish they'd adopt that strategy to clarify the mess that is .net, .net framework, .net core, .net standard, and .net.

It depends on the jurisdiction. In the EU, the European Court of Human Rights decided [0] that domains constitute a contractually acquired property or possession in the sense of article 17 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights [1]. So at least as long as you pay for the registration, your domain cannot easily be expropriated from you. However, it can for example be subject to garnishment. Of course, these property rights can likely only be fully ensured legally for domains under a CC TLD of the EU.

The biggest issue with AGI is how poorly we've described GI up until now.

To be clear I wasn't blaming just the Gov't for all the censorship, because 99% of Facebook employees (including Zuck himself) were strongly in favor of censoring all conservative viewpoints, as well, and were in lock-step with Big Gov't controlling speech.

Zuck recently tried to blame it all on the FEDs (on JRE podcast) but he was obviously lying because Facebook even built a special portal for the FEDs to log into, for moderating/controlling the public, so he was the ring-leader of all the censorship, for about a decade.
