The amount of steam users is not at all what I’m talking about, I’m saying as a game developer (a windows *dominated* field) there are more people running around with Macs for general purpose computing than 2008.

That’s not wishful thinking, thats reality. Computers do more than play games.

> that doesnt hold for a deflationary currency

I think crypto proponents in general share this inability to understand the fact that one of the most basic traits of money is stability of it's value, and anything that fails to meet this basic requirement is simply useless as a currency.
I run youtube channels with almost 2 billion views and this actually concerns me. I would love to try this in my productions!!
I'd rather not have to either. I'm going to be honest. I'm not a smart man. I don't understand the first link at all. The other two I don't care about.

However, to the extent that those things are bad, they are much less bad than my trust in myself to securely manage a crypto wallet key.

If there was some magic thing that just automatically worked and I could somehow trust it, I would be all in. That's not the case for any cryptocurrency I know of because you need to A) maintain access to your wallet key and B) prevent other people from getting it and C) don't inadvertantly click any of those links that drain your account that I've heard of (I don't understand the details)

If you can put in the research and discipline to satisfy those requirements, I'm certainly not going to try to talk you out of it, but they're way to steep for us normies.
IIRC it's because when Windows 11 detects a game running, it basically deprioritizes other process (like web browsers running streams or videos) which causes the lag you see
Spotify is a blight upon music and it would be better for our culture if it would cease to exist - I have been boycotting these vultures and culture-vampires since day one but apparently I’m a big weirdo Luddite for that.

Buy music directly from the artist or on bandcamp, stop supporting Spotify if you give a shit about music
As a center-lefty I cannot believe people are so silly to not be capable of self-reflecting the left's massive blunders.

Do you not remember "DEFUND THE POLICE!"? That is actually insane policy that the entire party got taken over and was forced to follow along with... even Kamala got slammed for it in the 2024 election! One of many things.

So yes, Trump and the far-right have some off-the-wall crazy stuff, but the left does too. Remember your bias. What seems crazy (i.e. abortion restrictions) does not seem crazy to an entire other segment of the country that you don't share the same exact values to.

And your values and things you don't consider crazy may be considered insane by others.
Did (most) consumers ever value art? There has always been the very wealthy that commission art, but it seems like throughout history more for less is the typical behavior.
I use LLMs several times a day, and I think for me the issue is that verification is typically much faster than learning/writing. For example, I've never spent much time getting good at scripting. Sure, probably a gap I should resolve, but I feel like LLMs do a great job at it. And what I need to script is typically easy to verify, I don't need to spend time learning how to do things like, "move the files of this extension to this folder, but rewrite them so that the name begins with a three digit number based on the date when it was created, with the oldest starting with 001" -- or stuff like that. Sometimes it'll have a little bug, but one that I can debug quickly.

Scripting assistance by itself is worth the price of admission.

The other thing I've found it good at is giving me an English description of code I didn't write... I'm sure it sometimes hallucinates, but never in a way that has been so wrong that its been apparent to me.
Nope, sorry, that page describes multiple commercial accidents resulting in fatalities, since 2009.

The Asiana crash at SFO had multiple fatalities, and was in 2013.

From the Wikipedia page:

“This is a list of fatal commercial aviation accidents and incidents in or in the vicinity of the United States or its territories.
It comprises a subset of both the list of accidents and incidents involving airliners in the United States and the list of accidents and incidents involving commercial aircraft.
It does not include fatalities due to accidents and incidents solely involving private aircraft or military aircraft.”
Considering how good real time voice chat with LLMs is now (gpt4o and Gemini 2.0), I'm haven't seen anyone try to integrate them into programming tools.

It could be quite fun !
We used outlook and slack. Business primarily operated via outlook as most communication was unsurprisingly external. Most but not all internal was slack.

I'm not hating on email, it has a lot of good properties and still serves a purpose. Every office appears to have some kind anti-slack vigilante. It's really not that bad.

World War 2 or as it's called in Russia, the Great Patriotic war shapes Russia's perception a lot more than W22 does anywhere in the west.
This is only true to the extent that your debts are denominated in Bitcoin. Until people want it for purposes other than speculation what matters is the exchange rate because that’s what everyone uses for their expenses.
Cool.

So anyway, let's see what he (allegedly) is doing with the codebase. Given that these systems are part of the public trust, we should all want to see the code and the DOGE team's PRs as they make improvements.
And the emphasis lies on people, without people there is no meaning.
> Liberals love consuming Trump content, maybe even more than conservatives. Sort of like the Howard Stern effect. Because after they do, they can go post on Twitter and reddit about how stupid Trump is.

> Conservatives didn't have that with Harris.

Yes that is what I took from this.

> Sequestering your candidate away from any kind of challenge certainly is a strategy.

Interviews with Fox News and a public debate does not read as running away from challenge. She is not the one who ran from the debates.

Prions behave a bit like a biological version of ice-nine. It's a novel shape of protein that "teaches" other protein to be shaped like it. Obviously its scope is far more limited than all the world's water, but it's still sobering to think that this risk even exists.

Disinclined, but I would like to publicly thank my parents for a CD Budget that was far too high for a teenager. I was probably averaging 1-3 CDs/month in the 90s, that's a ton of money!
Awesome. I will look into adding this. There's a community link on the page. So it is easier to give feedback.
>I would look for a different job.

I know some experienced, socially adept, smart, etc. friends who have been doing this exact thing for about 8 months now.
Worth noting, Canada doesn't actually charge 270% tariffs on milk. The base tariff for milk is 7.5%:

> Canada’s whole system is built to avoid a surplus -- hence its name, “supply management.” [...] Within quota, the tariff is 7.5%. Over-quota milk faces a 241% tariff. [1]

I also have to agree with Derek Holt here:

Whoever is responsible for putting the computer in a position where its decisions mattered. Whether that's the owner or their agent is a question for which we already have a couple centuries of mostly-adequate legal precedent.

This appears to be false based on the demo images.
It's not that surprising, all of that content is aimed at destabilizing the US.
Then maybe you should explain the point you're trying to make instead of just hinting at it?

I didn't even specify if I thought you were pro or anti crypto - I just find that most conversations around crypto are dominated by statements of "the other side of this just doesn't understand basic facts like I do" instead of actually stating what the facts are and how they apply to the situation that would help someone learn what's being discussed.

I may very well be the stupid one here, and you may be quite a bit smarter than me, but I don't know because I still don't know the point you're hinting at making.
> If you don't vote, you effectively vote for the winner.

Yes, if the Electoral College wasn't a thing.
>Most of the illegal front running is trading ahead of specific trades in response to seeing those orders.

Any evidence this is actually happening, rather than something like "this ETF rebalances every quarter, they're unbalanced, and are expected to rebalance in this way", or "this company is probably going to get included in the S&P 500 because it's doing really well"? What makes this sort of "front running" less acceptable than buying because "I like the stock", or trading on technical analysis?
It was publicly owned....not one individual.
I'm a little surprised Google hasn't included lidar into their Pixel phones (even after including and dropping some oddball stuff like Soli) to support some of these radiance field / photogrammetry techniques. I guess the <2.5% market share of Pixel phones wouldn't encourage any third parties with bothering to develop for lidar on Android.
Need interactive chat for coding. You say something high level, the model prompts you for low level decisions etc. every once in a while the code bot can send a screenshot or some test results so we stay grounded in where we are in the process. This can enable coding while I'm driving or sitting stoned on the couch.
This feels like those arguments that text is the worst way to code and we actually need a no code solution instead.

Theoretically maybe, but chat windows are getting the job done right now.

First, if you read my comment, I said "either party". I actually don't find almost anything pushed from Reps/Dems party as insane (specific politicians I do find genuinely insane though). I think they're almost all somewhat rational, even "defund the police". "Defund the police" has bad marketing, but to this day it still makes sense to not overfund police to do things they aren't well suited to do. This is something Musk would probably even agree with, if not for the marketing.

Well ultimately all centralized sites are someone's -- some person, or some company.

The previous incarnation had its own biases and such, but it did try to run a little more like a real company with official policies. The current incarnation is whatever Elon's mood this second happens to be.

No, I get it, thank you very much. Early adopter of BTC here, I've read the whitepaper and all that, sodl when I realized what an energy pig it had become.

The only thing that separates BTC from all the derivative shitcoins is hype and stories we tell about it. Bitcoin is itself interchangeable with an infinite number of related algorithms/schemes.

Gold extraction definitely has its problems, but it's a fundamental element of the universe.

The only reason I even knew who Jack Dorsey was was from podcasts talking about him. Elon's tweets show up in my feed regularly, and sometimes are even pushed to my phone, despite not engaging with them and even explicitly pressing the "show less" button. (I also get push notification from conservative accounts, despite being what most of them would call "far left")
Without Spotify and the rest of the streaming services most of the people would just pirate music. I would probably spend less on music than I do now on Spotify per year.
You are aware that adding backups and redundancy increases the costs both in hardware an management, right? I mean, _of course_ you can do that, it's computing.

Perhaps the comparison should be apples to apples when thinking about price.
Those are all programming languages.
Honestly you're better off rolling your own (but avoid LangChain like the plague). The actual implementation is simple but the devil is in the details - specifically how you chunk your documents to generate vector embeddings. Every time I've tried to apply general purpose RAG tools to specific types of documents like medical records, internal knowledge base, case law, datasheets, and legislation, it's been a mess.

Best case scenario you can come up with a chunking strategy specific to your use case that will make it work: stuff like grouping all the paragraphs/tables about a register together or grouping tables of physical properties in a datasheet with the table title or grouping the paragraphs in a PCB layout guideline together into a single unit. You also have to figure out how much overlap to allow between the different types of chunks and how many dimensions you need in the output vectors. You then have to link chunks together so that when your RAG matches the register description, it knows to include the chunk with the actual documentation so that the LLM can actually use the documentation chunk instead of just the description chunk. I've had to train many a classifier to get this part even remotely usable in nontrivial use cases like caselaw.

Worst case scenario you have to finetune your own embedding model because the colloquialisms the general purpose ones are trained on have little overlap with how terms of art and jargon used in the documents (this is especially bad for legal and highly technical texts IME). This generally requires thousands of examples created by an expert in the field.
2% over 30 years is inconsequential. At an average rate of 7%, that mean you'll grow your investment by 759% over 30 years instead of 761%.
actively investing is 1) hard and 2) really just a waste of time considering the amounts most people are dealing with. I think it may have been from A Random Walk Down Wall Street but the general notion is something like this:

You have a 500k portfolio, and you spend the average amount week managing your portfolio (12 hours). If you were to achieve a 2% alpha (which is considered insanely high for any actively managed fund, and almost impossible to replicate year after year), you have made an excess $10k over what you would have made investing your portfolio in a benchmark.

On an hourly basis that's about $16 per hour spent... you could get more reliable income working at a gas station in California. And of course, most people are not investing $500k, the vast majority of day traders are probably pulling their hair out managing <$100k...
In this context it's important to know that there are two museums at Bletchley and they aren't entirely co-operative with each other. There's The National Museum of Computing https://www.tnmoc.org/ and there's also Bletchley Park's museum https://bletchleypark.org.uk/ these are both on the same physical site, in the grounds of the Bletchley Park stately home because that's where Ultra happened in WW2

Both museums do have some kid-friendly activities, but their focuses are very different. You might wish to visit one, or both, and you should figure that out before going as they aren't even necessarily open at the same time.

TNMOC is about Computers generally, but has some exhibits about Enigma including a Bombe reconstruction and then of course Colossus - to break the Lorenz cipher, only exists due to the war and would have been at Bletchley. If you don't much care about Computers that's not too interesting, maybe worth a half hour if you've time.

The main Bletchley Park museum is about Codebreaking and particularly Ultra, the secret project to break German codes, most famously Enigma but also Lorenz and others, at Bletchley Park in WW2. It has some exhibits about spycraft, and a lot more about the practical undertaking of this codebreaking. Who are these people, what are they all doing here, what was their life like? If you care about the people you will want to visit this museum, but it has relatively little about the technical nuances of what was done.
Still not following why Japan needs to own it in order for that to occur. If we have a foreign dependency problem, the solution is not to add a different foreign dependency.
Tesla's EV sales in France decreased by 60% in January. In a context of a stable market for EV. Germany alone is small but the trend is present in a lot of EU countries ( Sweden, Denmark and Norway).

For reference, Germany was the third biggest market for Tesla (1/10 of China). France was 4th (1/10 of China too) and Canada was 5th (1/11 of China).

It's not the end of Tesla, but it's politically related.

This principle also works for security vulnerabilities in open source software, by the way. That is, the responsibility for preventing security exploits rests on the party who operates or deploys the software. Don't want the "risk" of open source? Feel free to use something more expensive. But it might be cheaper to pay the original developer for patches.
> I'm 100% on the path of least resistance when it comes to tool adoption.

Different folks will have different preferences when it comes to adopting new tools. Some like "tried and true", some want to experiment and see what's out there.

I (an avid `jj` user) like to think I want some pragmatic blend: I want tools that help me get my job done, and otherwise get out of the way. So if I think there's room for improvement in my workflows (in this case, managing 10-20 ongoing changes at a given time across 5-6 projects), I'll experiment with new tools that can help reduce the friction for me.

Like you said, there's functionally nothing `jj` can do that `git` can't, Jujutsu literally uses git as the default backend. For me, the power of Jujutsu is the massively reduced cognitive overhead of using it. My thoughts more directly translate to `jj` commands and I rarely have to think about it, even with complex stacks of changes.
Slightly weirdly worded:

> Bell Labs’ pioneering SIGSALY speech-encryption system was constructed in New York City, under a U.S. Army contract, during 1942 and 1943. It was gigantic, weighing over 50 thousand kilograms and filling a room. Turing was familiar with SIGSALY and wanted to miniaturize speech encryption.

Well, yes; given that he _helped design it_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGSALY#Development) he probably would be familiar with it.
Dementia or no - that is actually a truly astounding amount of plastic build-up.

Like I almost don't believe there's a spoon's worth of plastic in any semi-functioning human brain, that'd be like a pretty big cancer tumor right? Even if completely inert?
