Prior to using Atuin, I had some fun fish plugins that used fzf to search my history. I still find that I use that most often (it even searches my atuin history too), but when that fails - or becomes overly complicated, that’s where atuin’s native search comes in. It really is a game changer for working on the console and I can’t recommend it enough. Here’s some of the things that are really great about it:

1. As mentioned above, scope awareness when searching history. This can be exceptionally helpful when you know you’re in the same directory where you previously ran a command.

2. Sync - this is why I started with atuin. It’s pretty easy to run your own sync server if you’re not big on send your commands to some random server somewhere.

3. Persistence - similar to sync, I love having my whole command history available when I stand up a new machine.

4. Secrets hidden - you can even set it so secrets are not persisted in your history. This is useful if you haven’t yet migrated to using something 1Password to inject secrets. Also, as a side, it makes it really easy to find secret references you’ve used before too.
ALL of these links mention it, maybe you didn't read all the material, the Blair Institute I linked as a whole in depth section just on it, in fact if you cntrl F "unemp" you'll find half the site turns yellow. The whole McKinley report starting at page 7 is about nothing but job market shifts for 10+ pages, and If you look at the OEDC report, you'll find lots of referenced to it, AND the ability to find further research (Mokyr et al., 2015).
It is.
Faster means less CPU cycles, means people use less power and throw their devices away less often
I don't think this is quite the same comparison. In Rust, multiple mutable pointers to the same object can exist at the same time. So, it's similar to C in this way. It is mutable references that must be exclusive.

But that there is the difference. You are using it to put knowledge in your brain, whereas what I'm seeing most people do is entirely skip that part, and just being a sort of clipboard-like vessel that takes information from ChatGPT and puts it into a code editor, with no intermediate thought or analysis - meaning that the brain also stores none of it, because it never actually really thought about any of it.

And if there is any thinking involved, it's not in trying to figure out the code, but trying to figure out why the AI can't figure out the code. It's a subtle difference, but results in a huge change in quality.

It's not entirely clear to me what it really is that UK authorities have ordered Apple to do.

If this is just about iCloud advanced protection as some sources say then I don't see how it would be suicidal for Apple to comply by disabling this optional and off by default feature for UK users.

But other sources claim that the order goes a lot further and doesn't just affect UK users. Does it include E2EE for Apple's password manager for instance? Does it include E2EE for iMessage? Does it include 3rd party E2EE apps in the App Store?
You're making it much harder than it needs to be because you're used to operating in 2024 mode. Roll back to 2004 mode.

You probably don't need to sync everything.

You probably don't need a backup vendor.

You probably don't need to change the OS.

You probably don't need a homelab or massive cluster to run all your stuff.

For me, all I've done is turn off iCloud sync for most of the stuff and deleted the data in the cloud. Backups are handled as before: on/off site rdiff-backup to physical disk. Email I moved to a local provider that runs IMAP and keep nearly all my folders offline. Code? You don't have to push it somewhere!

The article discusses this. The researchers admit they can't know for sure if they got that part right. On the other hand, standards for body size were very different 750 years ago than today, so that's certainly part of it. Legends tend to get more exaggerated over time, and the legend of Thomas Aquinas has had plenty of time for exaggeration to build up.
Ada with VMS, so that thing was 100% uptime then?
1) you need a systems programming language (but not for OS development) that is safe and not too hard to learn

2) you need to run “scripts” but don’t like the hassle of lugging around the dependencies so you go for binaries instead

3) you work on green field cloud projects that run in/on kubernetes

4) you have a team of people that try to use every feature of a language regardless of it it is sensible and need a language that limits them

5) you need to be able to program something that can run in parallel that you can wrap your mind around

That said, I don’t use golang. If you have a hypothetical use for a language you wont get into it, you need a practical use where it makes sense or you will most likely use your preexisting tools because its more comfortable.
Open arrays would have been the answer, which I imagine is the point being made.
This is ridiculous. Someone with an actual, literal boot on their neck will hear your spiel about exploitation and laugh as much as they can manage.

The US is a state, and like all states it's a sociopath. The reason it's better than others is because it resorts to force later and less often than other states.

It is unironically better this way; your argument implies that having robust systems of law, transnational corporations, and global trade are somehow just as bad as a war of conquest.

That's nuts.
Well, that's a valid point, but if you look at e.g. Poland, even that there are three repair centers there, there are places in there that are much (2x) further away from a service center than the drive from Slovakia to Budapest.

One thing I don't understand is why the author doesn't just use the legal provisions of statutory warranty. Any cost of delivering the faulty items to the seller are on the seller, not the buyer, in Europe in general.

If you make such risks up, then no one says that html will be readable in the same way in 20 years (which is already kind of true as you have a lot of old blogs with awful layout on mobile)

But there is an even easier one - nothing will happen to your html built files of 20 years, they'll remain... static.

The worst is you'll go to updating your lovely html by hand, but you would've saved yourself wasting 20 years doing that instead of using a better system.
This ignores Apple's leverage. What do you think happens to the political party responsible for driving the most popular smartphone manufacturer out of the country?
For you and anyone else who might find this relevant. It may seem obvious in retrospect, but with pointing out that "taking delivery" is a significant moment in the purchasing experience. If there is a problem with the car, don't drive it off the lot. Once you have, it's your problem and not the dealer's.
It didn't seem to go the other way. Lots of folks were passable writers but terrible at the other subjects.
I was working on project to provide telematics data to local councils from a well known UK car manufacturer.

We could detect pot holes, and poor traction areas of roads through ABS and other sensors on the car. From this we could generate a heatmap of bad areas with potholes.

The idea was good but I think the councils it was shown to weren't interested, it was a sort of shrug we won't fix them anyways. So why pay money for information we won't act upon.

Thinkserver: My web-based coding environment
The reason we get a lot of light from the sun is not that the sun is particularily "bright" (high radiance) compared to other stars, it is because the the sun has an absolutely huge apparent size in the sky compared to all the other bright objects we can see.

Let's say you go to one of the illuminated areas that paid for reflectorbital-light and look up. What would you see? You would see a tiny bright spot flying past, with an angular size of about 10^-10 steradians [1].

This tiny spot has the same "brightness" (radiance) as the sun, because a mirror preserves radiance. However the mirror looks about 10 000 times smaller than the sun from your perspective (the sun has an angular size of about 10^-5 steradians). This means that the satellite would only give you 0.01% of the light compared to the real sun.

If you could somehow take 10k satellites and use them to illuminate the same spot, you could technically get it to resemble real sunlight. But imagine what this would look like: These satellite would need to be many enough / huge enough to cover a very significant portion of our sky, on the order of the apparent size our actual sun. They would be spread out in a sun-synchronous orbit, so they would be visible at dusk with this size, from all points on the earth. Would we really want that?

The founder has been thinking about using mirrors to collimate the sunlight to get around this problem, but it won't work. The collimator design he showed in a 2022 article [2] would decrease the focal spot from a 5km diameter to some smaller diameter as intended, but it would do so by throwing away light, not by increasing the brightness in this smaller spot. This is given by conservation of ètendue, one of the fundamental laws of nonimaging optics (where I do research).

[1] They are planning a 100sqm mirror at 600km altitude, which gives a solid angle of (100 m^2)/(600e3 m)^2

Most likely so, and that also applies to most Rewrite in Rust attempts, sadly.
You have to factor in the additional cost of these micro capsules: How hard is it to mix those in on site? What’s the cost to produce them? How fragile are they to work with? Do they hold up in real world conditions?

Traditional methods of resealing roads are effective when done at the right time. It takes proactive maintenance.

Until this is actually tried in the field in real world conditions I’m not holding my breath for this as a successful method.

> To generate the perfect 817 math examples for LIMO, they used state of the art models like R1 to filter down from an initial pool of 10 million math problems. In other words, a whole lot of intelligence was used to craft a maximally informative and distilled set of fine-tuning data

The paper, and this comment, seem awfully reminiscent of creating a textbook of curated "maximally informative and distilled" set of cognitive examples to teach students with foundational learning a next level of reasoning.

The last few years of LLM progress have shown we can predict human "reasoning" responses to inputs by modeling likely human responses as if LLM generated. Put another way, most responses are not particularly reasoned, but chain of tokgen*.

Sit near someone who "talks to herself" while doing problems and it's even more evident.

---

* tokgen definition: Listen to conversations in a cafeteria. Many are something other than thoughtful, responses that follow the prompts, with near perfect predictability. To differentiate from these responses and speech that comes after a pause and reflect, one can use the labels thought versus token generation or tokgen.
well as you name the rail infrastructure: it was sold out and left to despair since the 1970s. This was clearly lobbying from the automotive industry. Similarly in the USA, tramlines where teared down in many cities.
suboptimization; learned about this in engineering school 40 years ago: don't optimize the most visible parameter by itself, or you'll likely end up crashing. why do we have to freaking rename everything?
I'd like to make the point that private and public are coupled, in a way that if you dismantle everything public/tax funded, there is effectively nothing left except private by definition (with all it's upsides and downsides where the latter will be amplified in the absence of public oversight bodies funded by public money based on public law).

Now I (as a non US citizen, but one of a country that has it's fair share of needless bureaucracy) wholeheartedly agree that there is waste, a lack of oversight/transparency and probably a need for more say of the common taxpayer on how their money is spent.

But as someone who learnt the meaning of the Terms "Gleichschaltung" and "Ermächtigungsgesetz" in school, I wholeheartedly disagree with the current measures and how they unfold right in front of our eyes.
The Big List Of Existing Things (2017)
I'm aware of this. But the article gives no reason for this choice. It's rather a "well, couldn't it be" hypothetical, provided as a quote:

> “Now, it could be that on the whole we’re a lot larger now than even overweight medievals were, or that St. Thomas was never the portly friar described by his legend,” Father Aquinas quipped, adding, “Regardless, the stories of St. Thomas’ size are probably exaggerated.”

This is certainly in stark contrast to the centuries-long traditional notion of Aquinas' appearance, which may require some further detail why and how this choice was made. – I can see why the quoted father Aquinas should be excited by this "angelic" appearance, but this may be hardly sufficient to motivate a scientific choice. Personally, I can't see how the size of the skull (the sole evidence) should or could correlate with body mass.
Math books like Infite Powers or Calculus Made Easy but for other topics?

>How much safer are they?

A lot. Probably the biggest single change was the introduction of the small overlap crash test by the IIHS. It turns out that the standard frontal crash tests are quite unrealistic; in most frontal accidents, the driver swerves to avoid something but clips the corner, rather than just slamming into something head-on. Cars designed to perform well in the standard frontal crash test often performed miserably in the small overlap test.

Compare the same model before and after the small overlap test:

It also doesn't help that the Rust comes with more than just the safty changes. The expectations for development models, distribution models, backwards compatibility guarantees not to mention the cultural aspects are very different which is the real reason it causes so many clashes.

It get pushed with the argument for better memory safety but then wants to change the entire world as well.
Texas has the “Capture or Use of Biometric Identifiers” act. It’s very similar to the Illinois act that requires consent etc. Although it’s been on the books for a long time, Texas AG Paxton really only started enforcing it in 2022, 14 years after the law first appeared. The first target was Meta.

In this case it’s not the patent trolls, but the biometric collection acts shared by Illinois and Texas.

Aside - if you use Clear for airport security in those states, you get an additional consent screen. It seems like about 50% of the time the Clear employee clicks through the consent screen before you can read it. I imagine this does not fulfill the legal requirements when that happens.
They're looking for two different sets of things.

"Are you an untrustworthy person?" Are you likely to take a bribe? Will you get mad at your boss and try to burn the place down, literally or metaphorically? Will you be careless in a way that brings about the same, with no malice?

"Are you as trustworthy as anyone else, but subject to inhuman pressure?" Anyone would be vulnerable to having a relative threatened; you probably don't want to hire someone who would be apathetic to having their parents or child threatened. If that relative is already in unfriendly hands, that's a huge risk.

In some ways, a $100k house in a (hostile) foreign country is no different than a $100k bribe; it's just stuff. If you ignore a threat to your property in a scheme to extort you, you are $100k poorer than if you give in, just like if you turn down a bribe. But humans are prone to loss aversion. Having $1 taken from you is far worse than receiving $1 is good, even ignoring any sentimental value of the property in question. Some people will still be able to ignore the threat, not allow themselves to be compromised, but a lot of people will find it hard.

For a job where security is a concern and you have thousands or millions of perfectly cromulent candidates, it's not crazy to winnow the pool first by discarding everyone who's untrustworthy or has extra levers that can be used against them. You still have thousands or millions of great candidates left.
That Kurzweil plot is a bit ancient, up to 1998 or something

There's a better one that goes to 2023 https://www.bvp.com/assets/uploads/2024/03/Price_Computation...

The rate of progress is more like the Moore's law 18 month doubling. That's compute per dollar rather than Moore's transistor density.

I think 10x per year is a bit questionable - it's way out of line with the Kurzweil trend.
Subaru burned me on this. I bought my wife an outback. It started to have transmission issues with a full transmission failure at about 145k miles. This is after a life of small problems here and there that didn't really impact performance.

It was a known issue between 125 and 150k miles. Subaru's solution was to extend the warranty to 100k, as if that did anything at all.

We got rid of the broken one, and the one that I drove as well. I'll never go back. I loved those cars, but that's so shady.
Well, humans are self-healing, but not immortal. 30% increased road lifespan from improved self-repair is quite impressive.
So it sounds like we should have schizophrenic AI's which alternate and collaborate between specialized domain specific submodels. I guess the number of submodels does not cost compute, so can grow quite large, and if each of these models is so reduced as in this paper, the overall compute cost should drop substantially.
