> If the author is here, please understand that there is no "native" UI toolkit for Linux or BSD.

You're wrong. When a library is native to some system, it does not mean that it is always shipped with the system. It means that it runs directly, without an interpretation layer in the runtime.

So GTK3 is native to Linux/Xorg. The desktop environment is irrelevant, and may not be based on GTK3.
This reminds me of a less feature-rich version of PgAnalyze, but it's always nice to have alternative OSS options for this sort of optimization work.
It looks like they detected a muon and are inferring a neutrino from the fact it went through a lot of solid. Couldn't it be any other weakly-interacting particle though?

How do you think the average person under 50 would poll on being teleported to the 1950s? No phones, no internet, jet travel is only for the elite, oh nuclear war and MAD are new cultural concepts, yippee, and fuck you if you're black because the civil rights acts are still a decade out.

> two things aren’t remotely comparable

I'm assuming no AGI, just massive economic efficiencies. In that sense, nuclear weapons give strategic autonomy through military coercion and the ability to grant a security umbrella, which fosters e.g. trade ties. In the same way, the wealth from an AI-boosted economy fosters similar trade ties (and creates similar costs for disengaging). America doesn't influence Europe by threatening to nuke it, but by threatening not to nuke its enemies.
> I have just never had need of any significant internet speed on my phone. I don't download things, and only sometimes stream video.

But other people do.

And the main resource that is limited with cell service is air time: there are only so many frequencies, and only so many people can send/receive at the same time.

So if someone wants to watch a video video, and a particular segment is (say) 100M, then if a device can do 100M/s, it will take 1s to do that operation: that's a time period when other people may not be able to do anything. But if the device can do 500M/s, then that segment can come down in 0.2s, which means there's now 0.8s worth of time for other people to do other things.

You're not going to see any difference if you're watching the video (or streaming music, or check mail), but collectively everyone can get their 'share' of the resource much more quickly.

Faster speeds allow better resource utilization because devices can get on and off the air in a shorter amount of time.

And people living without parking, but who still expect the services of plumbers, carpenters, pizza delivery, amazon vans, taxis, home care workers, not to mention emergency services, are also freeloaders. When such vehicles have to park on the street they block roads and pedestrian traffic.

Some communities are starting to enforce against amazon trucks that park inappropriately on the street. They often force traffic into dangerous situations as everyone must skirt around them.

So did your company interview any people of color before? It seems like your org recognizes their own racism and is taking steps to fight that. Good on them at least if they occasionally hire some of them and aren't just covering their asses.

You don't seem to understand either letter of the spirit of the civil rights act.

You're happy that a racist president who campaigned on racism and keeps on baselely accusing people who are members of minority groups of being unqualified while himself being the least qualified president in history is trying to encourage people to not hire minorities? Why exactly?
To a cheesy jingle tune: public services paid by taxes aren't handouts.

I don't know why this has caught on so strongly online that like water and gas hookups, electric, roads, and trash/yard waste pickups to single-family homes aren't supporting a specific lifestyle but public parking? Those evil suburbanites ruining everything. My hometown Columbus and the policy of mandatory parking is still working out great. New developments are building more parking than required of them and they're the hip trendy areas. The only places in the city where it's an issue is in and around "The Short North" where you can't fit any more parking and they moved to an app based pay system everyone hates. Whenever I'm home and want to go out with friends it's much easier to hit up Bridge Park or Franklinton because they have massive garages.

It is odd that having 240VAC outlets installed in kitchens for kettles has not caught on. A NEMA 6-15R would allow for parity.
2 points:

1. I was just granting the GPs point to make the broader point that, for the purposes of this original discussion about these "safety declarations", this is immaterial. These safety declarations are completely unenforceable even if you could detect that someone was training AI.

2. Now, to your point about moving the goalposts, even though I say "if you could detect that someone was training AI", I don't actually even think that is possible. There are far too many normal uses of data centers to determine if one particular use is "training an AI" vs. some other data intensive use. I mean, there have long been supercomputer centers that do stuff like weather analysis and prediction, drug discovery analysis, astronomy tools, etc. that all look pretty indistinguishable from "training an AI" from the outside.

Feels like it's totally missing the point of why tmux is used on desktop and in a very arrogant tone.

Windows manager saves layouts. I want to save both layout and states. I want to be able to quickly switch from one project workspace to another, without having to use ctrl+z and fg or creating term windows everytime.

Also, a lot of people use one workspace for one app on their WM (1 for terminal, 1 for browser, etc...)
I like that my terminal has its own workspace, so I don't have to pollute the workspaces of my WM with tons of different terminal windows.

Maybe spend more time understanding the problem that is trying to be solved before writing a long ass arrogant article?
> How does she progress in two short paragraphs from dissing her ex-husband to dissing an entire gender, and turns that into both a complaint about relationships and the workplace, not just for her but for most working women?

Because it's in vogue. We as a society have deluded ourselves into believing that certain things (being able to talk about your emotions, constant positive affirmations) are at the same time both vitally necessary to life and that without it life is incomplete, as well as that doing this for your family is somehow a huge burden to the point where it needs to be described as labor.

> (Also, I don't get this emerging narrative that men interacting with OnlyFans cammers is necessarily pathetic, but middle-class professional women interacting with AI boyfriends/girlfriends is necessarily brave and empowered and avant-garde.)

For the same reason that men's singleness is ascribed to them being horrible people who deserve their lot in life, while women being single is an empowered choice.
That's true, but I think AI may be enough of a disruption to qualify. We'll of course have to wait and see what the next generation thinks, but they might end up envious of us, looking back with rose-tinted glasses on a simpler time when people could trust photographic evidence from around the world, and interact with each other anonymously online without wondering if they were talking to an astroturf advertising bot.
Ending minimum parking requirements and paying for parking seem sound after reading this.

However...

I'm skeptical of demand-based parking pricing after a local entertainment company started using it. $5-$100 for parking depending on how close the lot is to the venue moderated by big TV screens on each lot.

Proper demand measurement requires data and insight. Closeness to venue is a reasonable proxy for demand. But what if we could price the lot based on who's playing at the venue? An artist with wealthier clientele requires it's patrons pay more for parking? What if it could use your personal music tastes to upcharge? Or perhaps you used the cheap $5 lot for a different destination, should there be an upcharge then? The end game of demand-based parking, or any demand-based pricing results in more data extraction, for better insights, to extract exactly the highest amount of money each person is willing to pay. It gives power to those with the best data and puts more effort (labor/money) into figuring out better ways to get that data.
People are the "big rocks" in cities. Housing and businesses for people is more important than storing automobiles.

If there's not enough free street parking, charge more. That's part of what Shoup talked about.

Populated PCB in quantity 100 would probably be 60-70 USD, yeah. Maybe a bit less, it really depends on how much you can buy the FPGAs for.

On Game Bub, I do expose a Pmod interface (4 data wires) connected to the FPGA, so that actually is an option here too.

I think the big drawback to eclipse is it's a beast to get setup correctly before it performs well. It's built to support everything, but really does a pretty poor job out of the box.

I primarily do Java development. I started with eclipse, fell away because at the time it had pretty awful maven support. Moved over to Netbeans which has pretty good maven and java support, but went through a somewhat "unsupported" period of time and ultimately I moved over to intellij.

Intellij has been a joy to work with in Java code bases because everything just works and the smart features are actually worth it. Intellij can do pretty major refactors that both netbeans and eclipse can't think of. Further, it has really good code improvement suggestions that neither eclipse nor netbeans had. I can also simply check out any code base and tell intellij to open it and be up and running immediately.

A yellow line in intellij is almost certainly something you can right click on and hit "make better" and you'll have better and easier to understand code as a result.

All that said, you sound like you are working with a C/C++ environment. I've not done a lot with Intellijs clion so I couldn't tell you how comparable it is. It wouldn't shock me to learn eclipse is better as intellij is really well built for dynamic languages, maybe not so much for statically compiled languages.
bit of a redundant title
Rather, the study shows that people are easily manipulated by a belief in Science with a capital S.

To quote one of the articles,
"he actually did around 30 studies and obedience varied between 0 and 100 per cent…

...Reicher pointed out that only the final one of these phrases is a direct order, and in fact none of Milgram's participants continued with the study after hearing this order."

I don't recall in the study whether the shockers knew the shockeys or volunteers but I bet they thought they were and thus they thought they were trying to help advance science. Since so many people dropped out after hearing pain in the shockees, I'm guessing that if we were to try to replicate the study scientifically and without looking for confirmation bias, we would find entirely different results.
Free public parking is a handout. I use it myself, I love it, I circle the block multiple times for a free space than pay for parking. But it is a handout.

Forcing private businesses to have parking, even if they make a business decision to not have it, is a tax on those businesses. And on all the businesses that would have been viable without that tax.

I have no issue with paid public parking. It needs to exist.

Or if we love free public services so much, we can talk about why public transport isn't free.

> We're talking about values on the level of "don't destroy humanity"

Practically everyone making the argument that AGI is about to destroy humanity is (a) human and (b) working on AI. It's safe to conclude they're either stupid and suicidal or don't buy their own bunk.
> This is false? Computers have gotten a lot faster

Depends, what you mean by much. Single threaded performance is no longer 2x fast after a year. I mean, even in the GPU section, you get graphics that looks slightly better for 2-4x the cost (see street prices of 2080 vs 3080 vs 4080).

Computing has hit the point of diminishing returns, exponetial growth for linear prices is no longer possible.
Copilot to me is a multiplier, just like compilers and GUI editors and languages above machine language.

And possibly the biggest multiplier. But anything times zero is zero. Someone who does not understand the code Copilot writes is too dangerous to do anything.

But I worry what Copilot will do to future developers.

And knowing what universally available spell checking has done to me, destroyed my ability to spell correctly without it, I even worry how Copilot might deskill me over the coming years.

"The plan says it’s expecting a loss of roughly $4 billion from the Eaton and Palisades Fires, which sparked Jan. 7, destroyed nearly 17,000 structures and killed at least 29 people. Roughly 4,700 claims have been filed as of this week, and the plan has already paid out more than $914 million. Under a FAIR Plan request approved by the state Tuesday, all insurers doing business in California will have to bear half the cost and can pass on the rest to all policyholders in the form of a one-time fee. Insurers can collect that cost in the next two years. The state Insurance Department must approve those costs."

A private electric grid is a nightmare. Look at Texas. People pay more, and they get less coverage. It's worse by every metric.

See the billions in tax funding to ATT, Google, etc... to put in fiber internet that they just pocketed the cash and did nothing.
I’m working on a kanji learning app (shodoku.app) which some might say fulfills this ‘local first’ philosophy. Currently it is hosted on GitHub pages and relies on static assets (such as dictionary files, stroke order SVGs, etc.) which requires a web connection to fetch. However when I make this a PWA (which I’ll do very soon) these will all be stored in the browser cache, effectively making it work offline.

I store the user data (progress, etc.) in an indexedDB in the user’s browser and I have to say:

> No spinners: your work at your fingertips

is not true at all. indexedDB can be frustratingly slow on some devices. It also has a frustratingly bad DX (even if you use a wrapper library like idb or dexie) due to limitations of the database design, which forces you into making bad database designs which further slows things down for the user (as well as increases the total storage consumption on the user’s device).

I also wished browsers offered a standard way to sync data between each other, even though you can share your firefox tabs between your phone and computer, you can‘t get the data from indexedDB on the same site between your computer and phone. Instead you have to either use a server or download and drop the data between the two clients.

indexedDB feels like a broken promise of local first user experience which browser vendors (and web standard committees) have given up on.

The greatest form of art is the discussion on whether something is art or not.

When you see a broken toilet sitting in an art gallery selling for 5 million dollars and someone thinks "I could do that, this is stupid", they have completely missed the point. The art is not the broken toilet, the art is selling it for 5 million dollars - which is something the complaining person definitly cannot do. That's the art.

Today people seem to hate Tesla drivers because the brand is for right wing nazis.
