I agree with everything in your comment except for your description of the Etruscans :-)

What I was trying to get at is that, by the time the Rig Veda was composed, the diaspora from the steppes was over a thousand years into the past. You wouldn't expect the composers of the Rig Veda to necessarily know anything about it to be able to mention it. Instead, you'd expect them to know even less about the migrations of their nation from the steppes than modern English-speakers know about Jarl Rikard. So the fact that the Rig Veda doesn't mention any long migrations is (almost) no evidence that the migrations didn't happen, nor that they were in any sense gradual. Especially since, unlike Homer, it barely mentions historical events at all—it's almost entirely supernatural bits.
Yev from Backblaze here -> When we started this, we did so with the intent of sharing data and hoping that others would do the same. We see glimmers of that here and there but it's still so fun for us to do and we're expanding on it with Networking Stats and some additional content that's going to be coming soon including how these inform our infrastructure deployment. Fun stuff :)

There (used to be?) an old saying about you need a leader to start a business and getting it thriving but an operator to keep it so.

I imagine this is where that came from.
The grantors understand the point.
1) It is about 30% more, rather than 150% more, as suggested here. Very different.

2) Agreed, that it is a car for much cheaper. However, it will likely not last as long. Excluding FSD, Autopilot is free and a better comparison.

3) Again, simply pointing out the discrepancy in claimed cost vs actual.

We had a similar thing happen to us in COIVD. My child was born and a few weeks later, my FiL died. We were the primary caretakers for both as one came into the world and one went out.

One thing I will suggest is a death doula. Birth doulas are very good if you can afford them and worth the money, at least ours was. I really wish we'd gotten a death doula too, to help out with all the dumb things about dying. The paperwork, the adult diapers, the cleaning of a large human, bedsores, the funeral homes, etc. It's a lot of dumb little things that add up in your head that will make it want to pop.

Anyway, reading this piece was going back to a place and a person I was. I get that feeling of living on stress and adrenaline. I took up drinking at night to help out, and that wasn't smart, it wrecked the little sleep I was getting. I should have gone coffee addict or vaping instead. No, honestly, nothing was going to help in the end.

I get the alonenese, the total burnout. For about 3 years afterwards, it was nothing but mechanical robot me. Not a lot of real feelings beside rage, which I barely had the energy for. The first year flus didn't help at all either.

It is better, but like some Dr. Who transformation, I'm a new me now. I have all the memories, but I'm not the old person. I know that sounds like 'Duh, we're all like that dummy', but this time, maybe due to the compression and intensity, it feels different. Like, you thought your first kiss would change you, and it did, but not as much as you though it would. The experience of being a new parent and having that kid's grandfather die within a month, that changed me a lot more than I thought it would. And I really don't like who it changed me into.

It gets better? Maybe, I don't know yet. I hope so.
The founder of a health tech company is currently helming a likely-illegal effort to “delete” consumer safety regulations and government-provided health services that will directly lead to possibly hundreds of thousands of deaths. Given that trust and regulation are critical parts of providing healthcare, it seems pretty relevant.

When landing on this author's site, I immediately thought it looked like it was made with Tailwind. The lengths they went to create their entire own custom CSS and design system to match the choices that Tailwind makes is interesting.
OIDC describes itself as: "OpenID Connect is an interoperable authentication protocol based on the OAuth 2.0 framework".

So Oauth2/OIDC is what you typically want?

I don't really understand the details well. I understand what vendors and customers are after. I wouldn't ever try to write any clients/servers myself for this stuff.
Yes and: Technology (progress) always presents a tradeoff. It is never wholly positive. h/t Neil Postman's Technopoly.

None of them are giving press conferences in the Oval Office and acting like they're above the law. Typically when someone has as much power as Musk, they must either be elected or confirmed by the Senate.

At the very least Musk needs to explain some thing under oath, especially the processes he's put in place to deal with his massive conflicts of interest. He was asked about those yesterday, and he explained there is no conflict because he's posting everything transparently on Twitter, which is itself a conflict of interest.
I really hope this means that we reign back in the power on these high end cards. 600 what is just too much for a connector like this. 450watts seems much safer (though I wish the spec as a whole had better margins). Nvidia really just tried to pass the 5090 as a new generation by pumping more power through it and it shows.

I love the idea of using this for LLM output watermarking. It hits the sweet spot - will catch 99% of slop generators with no fuss, since they only copy and paste anyway, almost no impact on other core use cases.

I wonder how much you’d embed with each letter or token that’s output - userid, prompt ref, date, token number?

I also wonder how this is interpreted in a terminal. Really cool!

The term "CRUD application" triggers me, because it is mostly an oversimplification. Technically almost any application can be boiled down to these fundamental operations, but this level of abstraction is not very useful to talk about in terms of business value. Only because AI is hyped today means that it could solve any problem, let alone design applications anyone wants to use.

Syd: An Introduction to Secure Application Sandboxing for Linux [video]
In this talk, I will introduce Syd, a GPL-3 licensed, rock-solid application kernel designed for sandboxing applications on Linux systems (version 5.19 and above). Over the past 16 years, Syd has evolved from a tool used within Exherbo Linux to detect package build mishaps into a robust security boundary for applications. The recent rewrite in Rust leverages modern Linux APIs such as seccomp-unotify(2), openat2(2), and pidfd_getfd(2) to eliminate time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTTOU) vulnerabilities, which is essential for building a secure sandbox.
Sample size of 1 so caveat emptor! In my household YT shorts on TV is used precisely for that reason by my kid who does not have a dedicated device.

Some people I know love it but it just doesn't work for me in the way I use a music player. It's similar to foobar2000 in some ways which depending on your preferences can be good or bad.

And the name is terrible.

Strawberry is better for me but still kind of janky. Quod Libet and Rythmbox would seem closer to my ideal interface-wise, but scored massive own goals they seemingly will never recover from. How in 2025 music players refuse to (not can't, refuse to) get "Album Artist" right blows my mind.

Since I subscribe to Plex I find I'm using Plexamp more than anything else, but that's not really open source.
I think the #1 concern about plastic waste are single-use plastics. For instance you might get takeout food in a polystyrene clamshell, foamed or not. Lately I noticed this product line

https://www.healthychoice.com/cafe-steamers

which are some of the tastiest frozen meals on the market, but they not only come in a plastic bowl, but there are two layers of the plastic bowl, one of which is perforated to separate the sauce from the food so that the food gets steamed. Boy is there a lot of plastic.

Thing is, these are all thermoplastics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic#Classifications

unlike the thermoset plastic that this article is about. I mean, if you make a plastic bowl out of this thermoset

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine_resin

and use it thousands of times the amount of waste generated is dramatically less than is generated by those steamers. The environmental risk people are most concerned out now is that some fraction of plastics are not recycled, burned, or landfilled and wind up in the environment where they get ground into microplastics. As much as people blame industry on blaming the consumer, it's a lot better to chuck plastic in the trash than to chuck it outdoors and a good idea to pick it up on the side of the road whenever you can. That black agricultural plastic is a disaster. (See also the risk of plastic car tires!)
My variation is to use a custom script as `ProxyCommand` that resolves private route53 DNS names to instance ids, because remembering instance IDs is insane.

According to the article, taiwan looks exactly like china...

"Students in these programs often become a low-paid labor force, working long hours in factories in the guise of “practical training,” according to education experts and a recent report from Control Yuan, a government agency that acts as a watchdog. Some schools intentionally leave gaps in schedules for students to work, blurring the lines between work-study and part-time labor, the report said."

After graduation, students can find it difficult to move from the shop floor to higher-skilled engineering positions without further education, Ping Chou, chairperson of the Taiwan Higher Education Union and a sociology professor at Nanhua University, told Rest of World.

“The time spent in school is very, very little — sometimes less than two days a week, or in some cases, just one day or less,” he said. “What’s the reality? Most of their time is spent working.”

Try reading the article rather than reflexing jumping into propaganda mode. Also, try not to use "ccp". It makes it obvious to everyone.
yeah, I was doing the charitable as possible version
My understanding is that the yields on large eink panels are horrendous (which is why they cost thousands and thousands of dollars). I would definitely buy one at that price though.
Let's not forget that the 90 series cards in each generation won't be top end forever. Soon they will just be used cards like all other technology.

I don't know -- I remember that time and while I was not in the room, the rumors were flying for months in advance.

I have to assume that most of the people who were in the room knew the rumors also, and were just waiting to see if they were true.

I did watch it live, and that's what I was doing, at least. :)
Most normal people don't think of the Nazi atrocities at every decision they make in life, most people think about the problems we have right now.

I don't want to get too Hitler ad reductio, but that's probably what the Nazis thought too. It hasn't even been a 100 years since this all happened man. It's only sociopaths that constantly play up the past is the past nonsense. There's an incredible bravado to it. It's not the past, it was barely yesterday. The only thing I'll grant you is that its probably not happening again only because in the grand time line, less than 100 years is pretty much still happening, we're still INSIDE the chaos of ww2 and nazism. The same way we are all still inside the big bang, expanding outward.

But yes, sociopaths need to forget this, similar to how they need to forget an affair or a crime. It is what it is.
So incredibly easy to find vegan soap and shampoo today. Even in discount stores, like grocery outet.
To add to my original thought here, most sites that people pick up on as "made with Tailwind" are that way because they tend to lack working with a designer to come up with an original design. These sites are often a single developer looking to get things done quickly, who pull together components and CSS from somewhere else, like shadcn and Tailwind examples. Or all the same, they're half built with AI tools.
A 31.5" color e-ink poster is ~$1700[1]. I do not know what these large panels cost but (possibly due to low yields) eink panel prices seem to scale superlinearly with area. I would expect a 75" panel that is five times larger to cost more than a used car.

Anything can become a "best seller" if you are able to arbitrarily lower the price by multiple orders of magnitude -- $500 luxury cars would fly off the lot but would not be profitable.

Convince me NOT to build a (no-code) multi-vendor marketplace
Hey all, I'm likely going to build the MVP of a multi-vendor marketplace (similar to Airbnb but totally different market) using a tool like Bubble.io, or one of Shopify's integrations, possible some workaround in Webflow or also considering v0. Before I dive in, I want to get all the objections on the table, a thorough breakdown of all the bad reasons I might not be thinking of (bugs, site speed, company-killing problems if we go viral). I do have a product manager and visual designer who has decades of experience using no-code tools for prototypes and working products. Thanks!
That's a lot of confidence for a field of research that is relatively new
Interestingly enough there is already a brute-force way exploiters have been doxxing YouTubers: bots comment random name combinations to a channel, check if it is posted, then immediately delete the comment. If the comment didn't appear, either of those names is on the blocklist and is probably the YouTuber's name or related to it. Same goes for addresses.
Doing audio-to-text requires having a statistical model for what word or phrase a piece of sound is most likely to be. Without context, you can't do better than ranking the most likely candidates where a common word is more likely than an uncommon one. Having a task-specific dictionary at that point would help.

One could also imagine doing it at the summary step where the AI could simply be asked to do phonetic analysis. "Here is a transcription of a meeting. Here is a list of terms/names/participants etc. Given the transcription, the meeting context/topics and assuming the transcriptor has made errors, replace similarly sounding words and terms with more likely ones from the context"

Wouldn't that require, if true, that new revenue streams around exploits aren't generally pursued? It seems like new scams, and variations on old ones around new methods, come about on a somewhat regular basis. And as with any business, there is going to be some speculative work around new "product offerings", so to speak. I'm with you on the idea that they are less valuable, as 'spec work, than something that enhances existing revenue streams in a more predictable way.

My in-laws already prepaid for their funeral burial and arrangement and my wife's, and his own fathers as well. So when it all happened, it as a lot less stress. It was still emotional, but everything was handled ahead of time.

It might seem morbid to think about, but if you can preplan your funeral arrangements so your loved ones don't have to, it's definitely one of the better things you can do. Also leaves them free of having to foot the bill.

From what I hear Disney is very much a “process” company these days.

You can draw your own conclusions about whether Disney is doing very well or not, though.
Everything has a story attached to it. And different people have different stories attached to the same things.

Intentionally composing that story and getting it into the heads of other people, for whatever purpose, is storytelling. Marketing, propaganda, self-promotion, employee culture, nationalism, the best version of yourself that you tell to other people. All of that and more.

You can faff all you want about the pretentiousness of it, but the process of composing a narrative is not sacred (we all do it), and it's not the exclusive domain of people who write books.
If Henry Ford didn't exist, do you think no one would have tried mass manufacturing? If Jeff Bezos didn't exist, do you think no one would have scaled up an online store? These techno business overlord types occasionally nudge our timeline ahead by a few months, and are rewarded handsomely for it, but they've never produced some fundamental new insight or technology that leaps us forward in ways we wouldn't otherwise achieve.
You know, I just realized. I'm not sure this is the argument you're making, but:

Modern immigration systems in Europe and North America seem to aim for opposite ends of the spectrum - either attracting highly skilled professionals, or providing humanitarian support for those in dire need. But for middle class workers, regular movement in and out of these economic zones [1] remains surprisingly limited. That's exactly the group you'd expect to both create and fill good quality jobs.

[1] (With the notable exception of movement within the EU internally, which might actually support this point - middle class mobility there seems to work pretty well!)
