@cebert, Thank you. LLM and AI allow us to learn quickly, and Cursor can help us program quickly. I would like to see more interviews that test critical thinking and innovative thinking rather than just coding interviews.
I've seen the LUG group in Melbourne before but I put it under the category of meeting once in a blue moon. I want to find people _now_ that I can socialise with, not hope in 3 months I find someone at an event
Can you give an example of what you're looking for?

On my Win11 computer in notepad.exe:

- press Ctrl+H brings up a replace dialog - if I tap the ALT-key, tooltips pop up near the relevant buttons (D for search down, U for search up, R for replace, A for replace all)

- press CTRL-F brings up the find dialog - if I tap the ALT-key, tooltips pop up near the relevant buttons (D for search down, U for search up)

pressing the relevant key invokes the associated function, e.g. press D searches for the entered text in the window below the current cursor.

I mean there is the introduction of a chemical into the blood stream that acts on neurons. This does not happen with screens and speakers. It is not meaningless. In fact it's a super important distinction.

By pretending that multimedia can directly alter someone's behavior you throw out the entire idea of human volition. Even if it were true on some level our entire legal code and indeed western society is based on the idea of humans making choices and being responsible for them. Unless they're directly altered like with psychocative chemicals (and sometimes even then). The stimuli you see and hear are not drugs and regulating them as drugs will do more harm and cause more use of force then it prevents.
Unless you are using self hosted llm, you can assume all the code is being sent to the server. This is true for all similar services.
As this is backed by RocksDB, does that mean it’s disk-based? I’ve been looking for a way to utilize Redis but with hot (memory) and warm (nvme disk) mechanisms to boost my capacity affordably.

This is pretty accurate. I realized it early on in my career that writing code is the easiest part of software development.

Have been using this for some time. It is pretty good. But not as good as ElevenLabs though.

Also, ironically enough, ElevenLabs lunched a readerapp for iOS and Android, which allows you to text to speech for "free" in some limited voice selections, but the app is not available for PC or as browser extension. So like "we give you unlimited tts but only if you use your smartphone"
I don’t care how you do it, just make getting your dependencies deterministic based on files committed to your repo!

Happily the Tailwind hex package encourages you configure a fixed version number, so you’ll never get surprise breakage as long as you’re committing your mix.lock file as well.

I’m only suggesting package.json/package-lock.json because their projects are already using the npm ecosystem to fetch the tailwind dependency. A Makefile that does `curl $TAILWIND_GITHUB_RELEASE_URL -o ./departing/tailwind` is fine too (this is what Tailwind.hex is doing under the hood).

I mean, it sounds like what really fits the bill for what you’re looking for are coworkers or collaborators more so than friends.

Which is fine, and recognizing that might help you find it. End of the day, having meaningful social connections takes actually being interested in other people, not just a shared external interest, or hobby.
well it's not to say you can't have intimate online relationships.

Plenty of WoW groups from back in the day.
I was unaware there was much controversy over the meaning of Voltaire's garden. To me it was obvious (although apparently I could be way wrong), it's similar to the saying that optimism and pessimism are two sides of the same coin. The small recap in this article misses the important point of Candide meeting and discussing life with Martin, the opposite of everything he'd known up to that point - Martin is a pessimist. Thus, in the end neither pessimism nor optimism are the answer, as they are different forms of fatalism, the idea we leave ourselves to faith. Instead, cultivate your garden, as well as you can because that's all you can really do.
> A highly integrated, high end, open source laptop.

Not sure what’s meant by “high end” here. Performance is a rather important aspect, and the RK3588 this uses will make it slower than almost every laptop on the market. Practically all are twice as fast (both single- and multi-core), most are 3–5× multi-core, and the best approach 7× (paired with 2.5× single-core).

Looking at Lenovo India, they sell three laptops that are slower multi-core and maybe slower single-core (running Celeron N4020 or Athlon Silver 7120U); after that, they’re all at least twice as fast, in both single- and multi-core benchmarks.

(I’m simplifying to PassMark’s single-/multi-core scores, using <https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Rockchip+RK3588&id=...> and such.)

From <https://www.byran.ee/posts/creation>: “In many aspects, the Rockchip RK3588 is the fastest consumer-procurable chip on the market.” As someone not involved in these spaces, this was my vague impression, but it still ends up disappointing if you simply can’t get good performance for a project like this because only bigger companies can buy the better-performance things. It’s an extremely impressive project, but unfortunately will be rendered not viable for many—probably most—people for this one reason. That makes me sad. I wish they’d sell us the good stuff.

These days even automatic updates are working. But I agree the UI of the official app (there are others) isn't amazing.

Watch this at 00:35. Debunks your entire point about "the look" with Hitler doing the salute exactly as Musk did it.

I'm from Switzerland / Swiss German and maybe we just watched way more WW2 docs in high school and had more exposure to the various ways a Nazi salute can be done, but across the German speaking sphere we all saw this as a Nazi salute. In this variation it was often done with hand on breast during "Sieg!" and then the extension with "Heil!".
The position they've taken is that they want to shift cancer funding from treatment to prevention. I have no idea whether this makes any sense or if it will actually happen but that is the current messaging.

Home automation gives you a line in to hook up with tradespeople (electricians etc), building contractors, architects that design and install such systems.

There's a challenge there to socially meetup and connect to develop work, a career, or just exchange information.

Social friendships might come out of such pursuits.

It's one thing to say "I'm not going to enforce this law" - many presidents of both parties have done this to varying degrees.

But an EO can't just cancel a law, and anyone who breaks it would still be legally liable. Since the penalties would be on the app store owners for hosting TikTok, there is little incentive for them to expose themselves to this liability.

One thing I am curious about, though, is my understanding is that Oracle hosts many of TikTok's servers in the US. They would have the same liability as the app store owners, so I'm curious why they are still willing to host TikTok.
How complex and sensitive animals can be! And it’s a big reminder that we have a huge responsibility for their well-being when we bring them into these kinds of spaces.
> (I think NIH funding virology research in China is dumb. That should not have happened.)

I'm not sure why "in China" is your point of concern here? Lots of virology research presents minimal danger, and seems fine to me to fund even in geopolitical adversaries (after calculation of the diplomatic and scientific costs and benefits).

My concern with the WIV's work is that they were searching for deadlier and faster-spreading human viruses. So if their research succeeds, then they're deliberately just a containment failure away from a novel human pandemic. China's laxer safety standards compounded that risk, but I'd oppose such work in Baric's lab at UNC too.
That Court you're so impressed with repeatedly refused to review lower court rulings that police can physically force a suspect to press their finger against their phone or force them to look at it to unlock it with thumbprint or face ID. The most recent ruling, which they refused to hear an appeal on, was v Payne. The opinion from the 9th circuit was that it was oke-dokeily because, and I quote, "required no cognitive exertion, placing it firmly in the same category as a blood draw or fingerprint taken at booking", and also because the cop could have done it while Payne was unconscious or asleep. The court you're so impressed with looked at that and in refusing to hear the appeal, upheld the decision.

That court you're so impressed with also:

..ruled that silence does not indicate someone is exercising their right to remain silent (!) in Berghuis v. Thompkins. I mean really, you can't make this shit up.

...made Miranda rights almost worthless in Vega v. Tekoh, where a cop cornered a nurse in a storage room, threatened the nurse by putting his hand on his gun, threatened him and his family with deportation, etc...and then his statements were then used against them in court. The ruling removed the right to sue for having one's Miranda rights violated, only that they can suppress the statements in court.

...ruled that imprisoning someone did not count as "custodial". Again, you cannot make this shit up.

...threw a hissy fit when people dared to start protesting outside their homes.

It can be a convenient claim for Musk to make but don't forget, China is his biggest friend (Xi can single-handedly bankrupt Tesla and slash his net worth) and the people fired were in the middle of the Salt Typhoon investigation (which came guess where from!)

They didn't say it was. Or did they edit?
One of the things I hate worst about teaching is the Prometheus boards (big flat-panel touch screens) have been mounted in every classroom right over the chalkboard.

The central problem with them is that teachers do not use them in any way which is materially different than they used to use chalkboards. But they are less than 1/5th the size of a schoolroom chalkboard. The students "window" into knowledge has become so cramped and constricted.

If the lessons were presented using 2D and 3D animation, or if we were doing something which really could not be done on the chalkboard, that would be one thing. But of course, preparing something like that is something which teachers do not know how to do, and even if they did, would take days of programming/drawing/preparation by a whole team of people a week for every hour of instruction.

So what happens is basically, we've just taken a chainsaw to our chalkboards and left only a small piece. And a child's instructional day is just 7 hours of looking at teachers scribbling in the margins of the slides of powerpoint presentations.
I am not convinced that it's unhealthy. Young people, especially males, can easily emulate a ton of bad behavior while offline, much of which is now avoided. At this time of the year, the viruses can be unforgiving too.
I agree, and it isn't just phones

It isn't, as some people imagine, pure dopamine machines shovelling out easy to consume content, but even also access to (made possible by both far increased literacy and far increase education) works that entertain us that are imagined as higher. We simply can't get bored
Same here. I find it useful for:

- autocompletion (about half the time)

- questions on the syntax for certain commands (faster than looking up in the docs, usually pretty accurate)

- questions for how to solve a particular problem or gotcha (faster than looking up on SO, but also less accurate)

It's a useful tool for certain cases, for sure. But it's not a "game changer" in terms of productivity.
In 2015 Melbourne there were 5 different groups meeting about Linux weekly and one group about every programming language in the top 20 of stack overflow.

The endless lockdowns destroyed pretty much all of civic society there and the place hasn't recovered, literally everyone I know from that period left after the lockdowns ended.

No one cares what your typography ratio is if you can’t get it in front of a user quickly enough (dead code elimination), reliably enough (type safe), or cost effectively enough (i.e. if you have to pay for more developer time to implement the same work).

Tailwind is a tool for craftspeople, not artists. It democratises design by making it simpler. For folks that are really good designers, they should be happy that they can up their prices knowing that customers are paying for their expert eye, rather than just the basics again and again.

The oapi-codegen tool the OP was put out (which I use) solves this by emitting an interface though. OpenAPI has the concept of operation names (which also have a standard pattern), so your generated code is simply implementing operation names. You can happily rewrite the entire spec and provided operation names are the same, everything will still map correctly - which solves the coupling problem.
Minecraft has been rebuilt multiple times (Java, PS3, Bedrock) and is still not done.

I have not seen the code bases from the inside but I would be very surprised if not a lot of it has been touched in recent years.

I firmly believe any sense of accomplishment comes from what you give players, not how ”complete” your implementation is.
Thanks for the tip! I fixed the CSS, it should look better on desktop now :-)
Probably many of those are people from other countries using VPNs.
At work we sadly have to implement very OOP-y standards with all the bullshit that entails. 11 levels of inheritance with overrides all over the place sure isn't fun to deal with.

But for things I do myself I use objects and interfaces strictly as a tool to solve specific problems, not as the overall program structure.

Most of the time you just need to turn some bits into other bits with a function, no need to overcomplicate things.

The question of if a square is a rectangle or a rectangle is a square is the sort of thing that comes from OOP brain-rot. They're just data, and their "isa" relationship is likely not even relevant to the problem you're actually trying to solve, like displaying them onscreen.

A "square" could be a function that makes a rectangle out of a single float. A "rectangle" could be a function that produces a polygon. The concepts need not be modeled as types or objects at all.

It depends on the actual use case.
Maybe you will find some fellow nerds interested in going deeper here: https://mess.foundation/

"Willing" in what sense? What's my realistic alternative? Lay it on me.

I didn't vote, for what it's worth. I don't think it's ethical to participate in that kind of thing.

The US is 2 crimes and a real estate scam in a trench coat. When I was younger, I indeed thought that maybe it had some legitimacy, but after having read quite a lot of the history of the millions that the government here has enslaved and murdered I no longer thing it's legitimate.

I understand that they have the guns and the power, but realistically I am not a willing participant in this system.

I doubt that this sends back tons of data.

Early TikTok was basically a standard Chinese startup in terms of how they collected data to optimize the app... It's not because they cared about what "you" are doing.

The Chinese tech ecosystem is just more competitive than the US one.

Most social media companies have been careless with data until they got public backlash though... TikTok's systems are probably more secure today than anyone else's... Because of the backlash.

A father of a newborn child produces less testosterone...

From what I know this is not explained by just sleep deprivation. So here we have no direct chemical transfer altering the physiological state of a man via external stimulus.

So if a baby can chemically alter a father, why can't highly stimulating lights and sounds?

Many years back I had a pretty strong detox from smartphones and videogames lasting about 2 years. When I first played a mobile game, I was so stimulated by it I found it hard to sleep properly for the first few weeks of playing. Later on my brain adjusted but now I probably have some kind of habitual need for dopamine...
