> Only Americans (to the extent I know) differentiate jail and gaol. Jail and prison.

You inhabit a very different reality than everybody else. Americans do not differentiate jail and gaol; Americans don't use the word "gaol" under any circumstances, ever. It is not a part of American English.
I wonder what are the bandwidth requirements at higher rates, and is this still feasible to utilize GPUs?
After the 2005 Cyclone Gudrun in Sweden (730,000 households without power) there was a huge push to make power and telecoms infrastructure more resilient by burying it underground https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Gudrun
Sad that 91kb is considered small.
what's the problem with the airtran? it's rare to get to lower Manhattan faster with a taxi than via subway even with congestion pricing. and the cost will be at least 10x.

To each their own, but to me the only key easier to hit than the Escape key is the space bar, and returning to the home row is like a 20ms move. On the other hand, if you're actually using control keys in the (now standard) lower left and lower positions, then we're just on different planets. :)

Dollars ultimately have value because the United States government collects taxes in dollars. Who demands Bitcoin, except speculators? It's value is entirely propped up by it's cultural expectation - meme value - with no tether to a real source of demand for BTC.
Same!

If I stay at a hotel instead of an airbnb I will not bring my toiletries.

I’ll ask the front desk and so far 100% of the time the hotels I’ve stayed at will have a shaving kit and a toothbrush and toothpaste.

I don’t live a minimalist lifestyle by any means, but when I travel with family, friends or solo I try to pack as little as possible. Sometimes no carry on, just a small backpack for a quick trip
Caddy is beautifully simple, a joy to setup, configure & use for a simple home server with a few services. I love it! I used nginx before, and it’s great, but caddy makes things easier. I love how easy it makes SSL certificates & reverse proxies.
I have heard every reasoning for regular currency to have more value over cryptos since 16/17 when I started paying attention.

Gold Standard, Government Protection, Debt, Government credit instruments.

But everything I read about currency tells me that its largely always just agreed upon make believe. The case with the Real absolutely confirmed that for me.
There's no single "CMYK". Every 4-color printer is a bit different. In general I don't think you should use CMYK for anything except the final stage of image editing after you have already chosen the printer, paper, and inks, and need to do precise tweaks to get exactly the colors you intended. CMYK is entirely inappropriate for anything related to the web.

> I was being hyperbolic, but not by much.

I'd hesitate to describe it as "not by much".

In each of your examples, you show 3-4 months of days over 95. But yet you said "over 100 in most of the state for most of 9 months of the year". Not by much would be a fraction, not a difference of 200-350% of your example.

I didn't have to configure the firewall, that happened automatically with PMP. That thing you didn't even know existed until a few hours ago.

But somehow you know all that is and is not possible. All that could have been if things were different.
Same way people have earned money for millennia I suppose. If it has value it will be paid for.
IBM's own AT used the same style with the switch on the PSU itself (that image I posted is for one), and I have an unbranded AT clone (486 era) with the same style. That "AT with separate mains switch" style was probably an interim design that was used for tower cases before ATX showed up.
I'm trying Firefox on Android, and although I can hear the translation, it is really difficult, mainly because the translation doesn't go exactly paragraph by paragraph and therefore doesn't always properly sync. I suppose with podcasts it would be somewhat difficult to detect paragraphs exactly?

Some cool ideas for the spoken translation - allow the translation to come before the original audio - even better, maybe make it configurable. Imagine being able to hear the original, then translation, then the original again! Another thing that would be great is to hear the translation with different levels of volume - maybe a bit quieter, that way perhaps the brain neurons wouldn't be bombarded so intensively. Also, some quiet pauses between the original and translation would help as well.
Prey was so good too!
> To be fair, she did delete her privacy instagram ...

For me, the lack of credibility does not reside in the existence of an Instagram account, but instead in nakedly soliciting email subscriptions in a "privacy focused" post.

YMMV.
Not necessarily. No "formula" helped me arrive at these colors, I just eyed it and made adjustments until they worked for me.
Everyone I knew would fallback to DOS before throwing the big red power switch else risk suffering a day of work or worse being corrupt tomorrow morning.
It goes deeper than that. If you always have someone or something to bail you out, why do you need to develop independence?
> IEEE754 is not great for pure maths, however, it is fine for real life.

Partially. It can be fine for pretty much any real-life use case. But many naive implementations of formulae involve some gnarly intermediates despite having fairly mundane inputs and outputs.

>I remember discovering the warez scene and using IRC to snatch up the latest discography or film. I think I discovered new films and music just by browsing what was served up.

In terms of discoverability their websites were better than the streamers of today - and we're going back 20+ years here. There's a strong argument to be made that price is only a small part in why people opt for piracy. The UI/UX is better, the support is better, even the situation around privacy is better provided you're going somewhere legit.
Until users can't modify the way images are displayed on the monitor (by adjusting settings on the monitor or in the operating system), and until all monitors are properly calibrated, this seems like an incomplete solution to the issues that arrise when representing color on a computer.

Imagine a design team and web development team both at the top of their game, ensuring perfect color matching to their manufactured product and trademarked logo using state-of-the-art tooling and technologies, including those in the linked post. I'd be surprised if a single consumer monitor correctly match the color on the website those teams created.

Even further, I suspect most web designers don't even use calibrated monitors.

Maybe this would be useful for a design-centric service website?
"Tyre" is extremely common throughout most of the English speaking world. "Gaol" is used by attention-seeking Australians desperately hoping to kick off dumb threads like this.
Airlines are a disaster.

Having luggage lost is such a PITA, especially on short trips. Carry on only. I buy the smallest carry ons I can find so the carry on police at the check in counter don’t make me ever gate check.
This is actually an emerging scam. Those pushing the idea that these AI systems are "thinking" always have something to sell you to believe the lie.

The reality is, they generate as much plausible-looking responses to the untrained eye, only for any domain expert to verify that it produced nonsense (with the wrong citations).

Again, the ones spreading the AI hype are giving vacuous predictions of a utopian future with UBI, no more humans working which is being repeated by those fully invested in the AI race when the reality is the exact opposite and will try to use it as an excuse to displace your job.

It is a giant scam that is being allowed to happen, Why?

Because they are directly invested in it; including Elon, Sam and all the private investors you already know about who won't say the truth.
Ayu Light is one of my favorite themes so I understand!

Once Sublime Text supports OKLCH, I'll experiment with making my own syntax theme. Or, just make my version of Ayu Light using these colors.

I hope you're not implying that IPv6 solves the problem of knowing what address to connect to.

If you can avoid an explicit port, that can be nice. But anywhere you're using an IP, v6 without a port is longer than v4 with a port. An implicit port is only useful when you're using DNS. (And if you're designing a service, you can choose to use DNS records that contain the port.)
On this project we're presenting to users two to three times a week -- not to the same user, the most frequently that we demo to a single user is about every two weeks, but there are a few we exchange notes with weekly.
> People prefer ads to paying.

People's use of ad-driven services should not be taken as a true expression of their preferences, or as consent. The data that is collected in the name of ad-tech is used for many things other than to display ads. But most people have zero awareness of that. The true price we are paying is kept hidden from us.

People who would prefer paying with money rather than data are not given the opportunity to express that preference. There is no premium version of YouTube where my viewing history is not tracked. No "AT&T Platinum" subscription where my location history is not sold to third parties.
Even if “you” are perfectly clean, there’s the angle of “what do we have to hold over other people that affect your life?”

You might be clean, but if your competitors aren’t they can be bribed/blackmailed

You might be clean, but if your regulators aren’t, they can be bribed blackmailed

You might be clean, but if your elected officials aren’t, they can be bribed blackmailed

So even if you’re clean, you’re bottom line can get hit

History is written by the victors. Information will be controlled by the billionaires. What you need to know, or think you need to know, will be controlled. And why not? Google has been doing it for years. Hurst, Murdoch.

LLMs are biased. I would debate that it is difficult NOT to have an unbiased LLM, unless your LLM only gives answers to pure logic questions, and deliberately does not answer any questions that have a dependency on an individual's perspective (ie. Why are tariffs good? Why are tariffs bad?).

X is completely biased, no consensus-based fact checking. Of course the owner will sell it as "truth" when it is mostly the exact opposite. Truth can be forced out, by liars who talk louder, or by controlling the faucet from which information flows.

>>On a side note, I find that this flow state has it's addiction of it's own.

For this reason, there are societies and cultures where Chess is treated more on the lines of a dangerous addiction one must stay away from. Co-incidentally I have seen similar damage in people with video game addiction. Years wasted online, or on board games. Often when people are young, they could be attending college, or starting a trade or learning new skills. Or just working and earning money.

People are instead playing video games, or chess, where you are not only addicted to gaming, but you also get a illusion that you are doing productive work, where all of your mental faculties are engaged, and you are thinking and executing. Its easy to fall into this simulated productivity trap. Given levels to these games, its easy to create a flow like situation for years.

>>I feel like the reason mathematicians, physicists and artists of the past produced such great results is, they found the flow state so addictive, more addictive than balancing your health or family life, and thus dedicated almost entirety of their lives on it.

Trust me, most people who warn against going into academia are saying precisely this. If you are not too good at Math or Physics, its possible to get addicted to intermediate or beginner intermediate levels for all life and never really go out and make a living.

The sheer amount of failed musicians, mathematicians, physicists who went to in to the field because of curiosity, but got addicted to 'flow' and could never really bail and go on to earn or have a good living is quite large, and in many ways this is a bigger let down than even gaming addiction.

I know quite a few musicians and even graduate level math professors, who have totally broken families and finances because they can't explain anyone why they like doing it, and families don't get why they must remain broke.
I keep wondering if a financial death spiral will hit petroleum.

Who wants to do long term loans and investment in something where PV/Wind/Storage/EVs are evolving rapidly?

Petroleum is based on huge amounts of hidden subsidies as well, which might unwind rapidly (in the five year sense). Example: The US Navy is basically an unfunded subsidy for worldwide shipping.

Oil in theory relies on a threshold of political power to keep carbon taxes at bay, or worse, a huge "they knew" lawsuit/penalty which is increasingly tenuous every year.

But I haven't heard or seen it, but I'm no insider.
You don’t know that you have nothing to hide. If someone finds a creative use for your data you are completely exposed instantly. You could be denied an insurance coverage easily based on something someone finds.

More significantly, Collins just says "British a variant spelling of jail".

I believe Collins is the standard dictionary that British people use, much like Merriam-Webster for Americans.
Consumer displays can do quite a good job matching colors if either (a) they have been characterized (either by a color measurement device or by eye by a careful human observer with normal color vision) and the OS is set up to do proper color management using the resulting profile, or (b) the company producing them buys consistent parts and does careful Q/C. If you get a recent model iPhone, as an example, you are likely to get very close to the same output as every other iPhone, assuming you are in similar lighting conditions.

Of course, human vision is quite sophisticated at adapting to various conditions, so the colors will not be precisely perceptually matching unless the observations take place in a standard setting. If one observer is sitting under a fluorescent bulb, another is in a dark room, and a third is sitting outside on a sunny day, all bets are off. There's also nontrivial inter-observer variation, even among people with normal color vision.

The article is a nice introduction to fzf- it, and rg are the first things I install on a new machine (after homebrew on Mac)

You can combine fzf with all sorts of stuff. Like git via alias for a number of super useful commands (e.g. fuzzy search the last 5 branches I've been on sorted by recency)

recent => !f() { git reflog | egrep -io "moving from ([^[:space:]]+)" | awk "{ print \$3 }" | awk " !x[\$0]++" | egrep -v "^[a-f0-9]{40}$" | head -n${1:-5}; }; f
recent-checkout => !f() { git checkout $(git recent ${1:-25} | fzf); }; f

(I use `git recent-checkout` multiple times per day every day. The only potentially tricky thing above is the order preserving dedup which is the `awk " !x[\$0]++"`)

Every terminal user (and probably developer) should take the time to learn some bash, basic commands, piping, Ctrl+R (instead of up arrow), navigation shortcuts, rg (and regex), fzf, among others. Huge for productivity.

It's honestly a relatively small amount to learn and time to experiment before the vast majority of the things you'll want to do will be easier to write yourself than describe to an LLM.

Article is from May 2023. In October 2024 they deleted their instagram account.

I get the feeling they were more likely trying to find a topic that would gain popularity than providing useful content, and after 18 months didn't get the engagement they were after. That's almost the worst-case conclusion though. I didn't spend enough time reading other content to tell.

> And all too often, the hunters are the ones proclaiming to be looking for TRUTH.

> But they are more concerned with removing any obstactles to finding the TRUTH, even when that means bulldozing over people's rights (the right to privacy, the right to anonymity) in their quest for it. And sadly, these people often cannot tell the difference between the appearance of TRUTH and TRUTH itself. And these, the ones who are so convinced they have found the TRUTH that they stop looking for it, are some of the worst oppressors of Natural Rights the world has ever known.

> They are the hunters, and it is right and good for the prey to be afraid of the hunters, and to run away from them. Do not be fooled when a hunter says "why are you running from me if you have nothing to hide?" Because having something to hide is not the only reason to be hiding something.

The human mind needs help in the form augmentation of its capabilities and capacity, but I am not convinced invasive implants are the way for two reasons: 1) you’ll need brain surgery every time you decide to change hardware for any reason, which will suck if you’re immunocompromised for any reason, which can also happen naturally as you age; 2) invasive hardware will be hard to remove at will.

I think there are different ways to augment human cognition without implants, and these less invasive methods need to be considered first. One simple and tractable method which may be easy to implement, but hard to perfect, is to create a mechanism for offloading tasks as a learned “thought process” to any number of autonomous agents called on demand. If the system relies on vocalization, then it’s not different from voice assistants, whereas if it relies on multi-step prompting, then it’s not reducing the cognitive load of the person using it. There are various nuances even for this relatively simple concept, but I think it’s one of the more doable research quests.

By the time they can follow the cable several km back you have already moved elsewhere. and of course you never are alone so someone else is watching for them to come and will shoot them just like any other attacker coming your way. attackers have it easier as they can stick to cover while following the cable means they are in the open in places near your line.
