It might be fine for small repos, but for massive repos, blobless/treeless clones become unmanageable because many git operations become very slow. I added some further links.

From my side, when you have non-trivial sized repo, on local machine one should either use either a shallow, or a full clone (or, if possible, a sparse checkout, but this requires repo to be compatible).

So, I wanted to like this, but frankly the quality isn't fantastic.

The text to speech is alright, but it lacks almost any emotion, and it reads everything literally, which when the article/pdf has a weird layout, or has figures, doesn't sound natural. Though I expect they're just not using their top-of-the-line models for this - I've had much more luck pushing a pdf through Claude to generate the "verbal version" (which is mostly literal, but also describes the layout and figures) and then the result through the top-of-the-line ElevenLabs model.

Now, I've also checked out the podcast feature, and it's pretty clear they first do a textual generation, and then a simple text to speech. Again, lack of emotion, very mechanical flow.

I made a podcast of a technical article[0] in both ElevenLabs reader and Google's NotebookLM, and the NotebookLM podcast is a night-and-day improvement - maybe they use a better model, maybe they use straight "article to podcast" end-to-end multimodal generation, I don't know, but the quality, flow, emotion, is just on a completely different level. I had to quickly turn off the ElevenLabs-generated podcast cause I couldn't keep listening to it, while NotebookLM's one is legitimately enjoyable.

Now to finish on a more positive note, fingers crossed for the ElevenLabs team improving this, and us getting some competition in the area of article-to-audio, both podcast-style, and direct! I think, in general, it's a very promising product direction. Feature-wise, I would also love to get a daily overview podcast based on all my RSS feed articles for a given day.

Does it count as transphobia if your target is cis? On the one hand, such comments are motivated by a belief that trans people should be banned from a thing; on the other, we could just as easily view this through the lens of misogyny. Both lenses give the same explanation: a woman isn't stereotypically "womanly enough", therefore cruelty.

Can we draw a hard line between transphobia and misogyny? (Or is that a wrong question?)
My favourite Go proverb is probably 'don't go fishing while your house is on fire'.

Deciding you want to reduce your opponent's moyo while you have a group that's struggling to live is a good way to lose the game; and the proverb is applicable in everyday situations too.
I'm sorry but I have to call BS.

>Salaries of the remaining people tend to go up when that happens.

You're telling me with a straight face that after a company replaces part of its workforce with tech/automation, salaries go up? Really? Please show me some data on that because every single graph I've ever seen of salaries must be wrong then. We've had an enormous amount of innovation and breakthroughs in the last decades, but weirdly enough all salaries remain stagnated. If this is true, they should be going up constantly every time we offshore some work or get more efficient technology.

The company can have 50000% growth and salaries will NOT go up. They basically never go up unless the companies want to retain an employee that's at risk of leaving and the replacement cost is high.

The objective of a company is to give money to its owners, nothing else. Salaries are viewed as a cost, so they will never willingly increase their costs unless it's absolutely necessary.

> And costs tend to go down for the general public.

Assuming there aren't monopolies involved and it's a commodity, yes, that sometimes happens. If there's any monopoly involved, unfortunately companies will simply pocket the difference.

That looks more like a git alias than a job for an entirely new tool, to me. How many of the core functions do you really need to cover before `jj` itself becomes redundant?
If you are referring to the author herself, I would have to disagree. For my mind, she presents the first clear articulation of the value of AI as embodied by LLM chatbots: as agents you can turn to solve problems of what she calls “emotional” labour. This is a highly non-trivial task especially for individuals exhausted of their empathy (and who recognize that the situation requires their empathy as such).
Give her a call. Your lifetime isn't over yet! She may be open to your love now, and likely would at least want to revive your friendship.
Anybody out there who has tried to convert js to ast and back and got OOM?! (I tried @babel/parser). I pray this one doesn't disappoint.

Oh, and comments!!! My general observation is that one cannot capture the comments when code is generated from ast. Although esprima has something in the standard to this effect, implementations generally stuck with weird commenting styles and how to generate code from them...for e.g

var /* hello */ world, foo, /* bar */ s;

US just needs to have their culture war done already. These words are not about the American petty fights but it appears that the new government is all for it.

It's kind of fascinating actually how Americans turned the whole pop culture into genitalia regulations and racist wealth redistribution. Before that in EU we had all this stuff and wasn't a problem. These stuff were about minorities and minorities stuff don't bother most people as these are just accommodations for small number of people.

I'm kind of getting sick and tired of pretending that stuff that concern %1 of the people are the mainstream thing. It's insufferable.
Do you realize that you are exactly who I’m talking about? One only need to view the many videos on YouTube of ridiculous FSD interventions

Yes, I’m aware it’s supposed to be monitored.

Btw I love the implication in your line of questioning that I haven’t experienced fsd by demanding I give my own personal anecdotes

So here’s three! The last time I experienced FSD was during the December 2024 free trial (12.5 I believe). On one trip, it unsafely botched a merge on Market Street in San Francsico by the Castro (ran out of room and faulted ) Actually, we tried that route because a few years ago, we’d had it completely fuck up by trying to navigate the wrong way down the road. So I supposed that’s an improvement.

Later that week, FSD kept having trouble with a freeway off-ramp around San Mateo and when we did a go around, it tried to pull us into a dedicated bus lane. Well, it did pull through and get to the destination.

And lastly, it consistently manages to navigate into my parking garage and then immediately drive out the other exit.

So there’s your anecdotes. At least we didn’t slam head on into a lamp post.
>The danger of something like AI+drones (or less imminent, AI+bioengineering) can lead to a severe degradation of security

For smaller countries nukes represented an increase in security, not a degradation. North Korea probably wouldn't still be independent today if it didn't have nukes, and Russia would never have invaded Ukraine if Ukraine hadn't given up its nukes. Restricting access to nukes is only in the interest of big countries that want to bully small countries around, because nukes level the playing field. The same applies to AI.

Assuming AGI doesn't lead to instant apocalyptic scenario it is more likely to lead to a form of resource curse[1] than anything that benefits the majority. In general countries where the elite is dependent on the labor of the people for their income have better outcomes for the majority of people than countries that don't (see for example developing countries with rich oil reserves).

What would AGI lead to? Most knowledge work would be replaced in the same way as manufacturing work has been, and AGI is in control of the existing elite. It would be used to suppress any revolt for eternity, because surveillance could be perfectly automated and omnipresent.

Really not something to aspire to.

Yes, but the voltage on the wall side of the psu is not 12V it's 120-240V. And 600W at 120V requires only 5A of current.
It's easier to handle more power at higher voltages because heat produced depends on current and not on voltage.
If you take that puny C13 connector and move it to the 12V side with its 50A it would just melt.
This blind hate against Sanskrit is really sad.

Sanskrit is a language that goes beyond Hinduism. Almost all important Buddhist Sutras and influential works like Mulamadhyamakkarika or Jaina works like Tattvartha Sutra are in Sanskrit.

Lastly Sanskrit is also the language of many secular works like Siddhanta Shiromani, Sushruta Samhita, Kama Sutra or Abhigyanashakuntalam.
> […] stops short of recommending some very, very simple steps in aircraft configuration prior to takeoff that would completely mitigate the issue […]

Well, the configuration changes during takeoff mitigate the issue if it happens during takeoff. If it happens at any other time then they don’t do anything to help.

> I can see no reason to drag feet on this recommendation […]

I can. Perhaps the FAA believes that it is better to minimize change fatigue. Since the problem can apparently be fixed in software, and Boeing has decided to make that fix, they might want to write just one airworthiness directive requiring everyone to install it instead of two, one telling pilots to adopt some procedure followed by another telling them to abandon it.

> (It is yet another difference from older 737 design , like the deadly MCAS system, that was not disclosed to pilots transitioning to the new aircraft)

Keep in mind that for most aircraft the airline can pick and choose between different engines. The pilots don’t have to learn the myriad different engineering decisions that go into those engines; from the pilot’s perspective they are supposed to be interchangeable.

For me, the size of the seat area is probably the biggest nuisance on a long flight. I'm not super tall, but above average and depending on my body position, either my knees or shins are always lightly pressed against some hard plastic or metal from the seat in front of me. Not painful, just a constant discomfort, especially if the person in front moves a lot.

The biggest quality-of-life improvement for flights, for me, was paying up each way for an emergency exit seat. A secondary benefit that I hadn’t initially considered but turned out to be huge is being able to get in and out of my seat at any time without making the entire row get up or having to get up for others.

Linux still doesn't have a networked file watching protocol, does it? Like SGI fam, which gamin is based on. I understand SMB/CIFS supports this in the protocol, but Linux clients don't, and I don't remember if Samba does as a server.

inotify is still an ugly and error-prone interface but it does basically work.

What does the situation look like on other free OSes?

A common related requirement is to access a given version of a file, for example so that you know it's consistent with itself. Linux does support so-called "reflinks" for this... but ext4 doesn't. Sad trombone.

You can simplify this:

git commit --fixup X ; git rebase --interactive --autostash --autosquash X^

If you do that often, an alias might help; I have one for the second command above. You might want to look at git-fixup or git-absorb for automatically finding the "X" commit.

>this is a message board trope

Speaking of message board tropes: <screeches in samplin bias>

You're not hearing about all the cases where people didn't call the police. You're doubly so not hearing about all the cases where somebody pulled a gun on a package thief (or whatever) because the kind of people who are not calling the police know very well that there's nothing the police hate more than peasants DIYing what they think is their job.

>Everybody expects to be able to call the police. You might, if someone is being their best self, get some hesitation before a call about someone playing at the park who doesn't look like they belong there. Someone trying car doors? 911. You'd be excoriated for seeing something like that and not calling.

Thank god I do not live in your municipality. Sounds like the most unholy fermented cesspit of Karens.

Nobody calls the cops on such trivial "I have no problems so I'll create some out of thin air" problems as "a man in the park who doesn't look right". People have better crap to be doing. I don't even live somewhere particularly poor either.

AI isn't like nuclear fission. You can't remotely detect that somebody is training an AI. It's far too late to sequester all the information related to AI like what was done with uranium enrichment. The equipment needed to train AI is cheap and ubiquitous.

These "safety declarations" are toothless and impossible to enforce. You can't stop AI, you need to adapt. Video and pictures will soon have no evidentiary value. Real life relationships must be valued over online relationships because you know the other person is real. It's unfortunate, but nothing AI is "disrupting" existed 200 years ago and people will learn to adapt like they always have.

To quote the fictional comic book villain Toyo Harada, "none of you can stop me. Not any one of you individually nor the whole of you collectively."

> Discussion now turns to the practical details, the steps that need to be taken. Mörig wants to select a committee of experts to fine tune the details of this plan for mass deportations. These experts will ensure the masterplan is executed “ethically, legally, and efficiently”, so that the racially motivated forced displacement of people has the guise of a legal migration policy.

As you say, most people agree that illegal immigration isn't okay, and furthermore, that integration in Germany is an issue. The AfD wants to use that to enact things that are way worse than what they use as an excuse, kinda like Trump is doing in the US now.
Because the "boosted Singal post" is a retweet of Singal saying this about the Onion:

That's it. That's my alleged rightward shift.

Singal is considered a suppressive person on Bluesky and agreeing with him on anything is prima facie evidence of fascism. But I think this attitude says more about Anil and Bluesky than about me.

What have you used it for? From Anarcat's notes, it sounds like it isn't very generally applicable.
I made my own version of this and I am seeing a lot of interesting choices so I am intrigued. The lack of soldering means you probably don't do that normally.

I find it wild that you used a dev board because the LDOs on them are most of the time very bad and you do seem to use 5V instead of bypassing that. The type you get normally uses 1mA just sitting idle.

Why did you use an external RTC instead of just soldering a 32.768khz crystal to the esp32? Okay if my assumption above is correct that answers that. but the external wakeup has no real advantage in power draw.

The relay eats some current and a mosfet in its place would probably be better. I assume you added it because the e-ink hat has no proper shutdown. From the looks of it you can just bypass the BUCK converter on it so just run it off 3.3-3.6v. There is a smaller BOOST converter in there that might still waste power so the mosfet might still be needed. This beings me to my next point:

you can completely do away with the DCDC boost converter by using a LiFEPO4 battery. All you need extra is monitor the voltage and have your display warn once it falls below 3V.

Anyway 9-10 months is remarkable for the LEGO approach.
