But that's only true in the worst kind of way, the technical one. Yes they aren't literally meant to be hearing protection. Yet, if they work well enough that I'm not hearing any loud sounds, then they're obviously protecting me adequately for the situation.

Side-note: Latency isn't a concern, the electronics are built to process input between mic and speaker at the speed of sound. Otherwise it wouldn't even really work except for static frequencies as I understand it.
That sounds fine in theory, but who decides which teams are remote? How do you avoid a situation where someone comes on a remote team and gets the rug pulled out when someone else decides that team is now in person?

> it will be confirmed that the executive branch has unilateral power to fire people working in the executive branch.

Do you hold the opinion that the Civil Service Reform Act is unconstitutional? What about the Reorganization Act of 1939? If the President can unilaterally fire any employee of the Executive Branch, why bother with Senate confirmation at all?
If you bought one anytime after the initial reviews just what were you doing?

I just can’t imagine there was anyone who both knew it existed and didn’t know it was garbage.

The only reason I can see anyone having bought one at that point is because they wanted to own an interesting little failure in gadget history. And even then just buy one used, there was no point in spending $700.

Love this share, I just watched the 1955 vs 1957 Royal Quiet Deluxe video. Learned a couple of fascinating things:

1. 1955 model did not have the number "1" or the "!" - as I guessed, you can get the 1 with a lower-case L. But the exclamation point stumped me - turns out you had to use apostrophe, then backfeed a character, then use a period over the same space to recreate the "!".
2. Different typewriters had different typesets that could result in dramatically different script lengths for writers. It forced one of the screenplay writers of Star Trek to have to tighten up his script substantially after they realized it was too long.

I’m not sure why you’re so obsessed with this. You can do the same thing with any validation library in nodejs. Your exact example is possible by integrating any validation library of your choosing into a nest js route pipe. In particular primitive type validation is built into nestjs anyway

The fact that it’s built in is neat but not really important. Most people are not making thousands of toy apps. If the necessary they will integrate and move on.

There are more compelling reasons to use .net than this.

Sure they are closer to the middle class than the ultrawealthy, but that does not make them either not-rich or middle class.
What do you guys think of an escrow certification service similar to OU (kosher foods). E.g. UB – un-brickable would certify that a vendor provides access to the bootloader & signing keys to ensure the lifetime access. In the event the product or company ceases to exist, the escrow service would release the assets needed to continue open-source firmware updates.

There could be multiple levels of UB certification ranging from : only keys to fully open sourcing the firmware upon termination
> As an example, in Java, everything is a pointer, so pointer chasing all the time, which is not good for cpu cache, etc

Strictly speaking that's not true. It's everything is a pointer in theory to make it easier to reason with and JIT / JVM optimizing in the background.

There are primitive types and there are lots of tricks in the JVM e.g. escape analysis that places objects on the heap/stack etc.

I would think so. Promoting someone implies they are exceeding expectations in their current role[1].

I really like the demos and landing page, I think it's a good product. I also thought your gsheet integration was interesting, if a bit rough around the edges.

I really think that the integration is going to be the product here, rather than licensing the library itself.

Say I'm in marketing and want to do a user survey. I want a way to get the users to the form (a link in the product? an email? a popover? A QR code for in-person businesses? Maybe something you can think about), I want a form that looks good (which yours does), I want to brand it, and I want the data somehow (maybe immediately, maybe after some time, maybe with a dashboard who knows). What I don't want to do is mess about with gsheet permissions and app scripts.

I drove a Civic for 16 years or so. Great car, no major issues. I traded it in for a EV and I couldn't believe how much more convenient it was, starting from the buying experience. No car salesmen / dealership fee. Never go to a gas station again (and rarely need to go to a charger). No more maintenance every 6 months, some of them fairly expensive if you follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.

I don't know if the finances actually work out to be cheaper but at this point I don't care. The regained time is worth it.
When everything Trump is doing is so nakedly illegal / unconstitutional / fascist, the best "defense" is to try to trick people into looking at something else... until it's too late.

Originally I was going to link to the Trump's "Schedule F" plan, but it seems merely bringing back the spoils system has just now become quaint and obsolete: Trump went a step further and formally signed an executive order declaring that the entire executive branch must ignore all decisions or court-orders by any judge, because he alone (with presumptive immunity from future prosecution) decides what happens to be lawful at all times.

Is VR a big market? I used a few of the early devices and was impressed but not moved to invest in it (before Alyx was announced I had regular access to a private Vive setup in a dedicated room.) Two friends bought Oculus but lost interest after a while. They haven't touched them in over a year and one friend has kids who don't care about it at all. Gamer people I know either don't care about it or like me think it's cool but not compelled to invest in. They lack compelling titles. For me to play Alyx, I'd have to invest hundreds of dollars on hardware in addition to buying the game. I can play hl2 right now on my existing PC.

Maybe I'm not enough of a hardcore gamer to like DOTA or MOBA style games. I loved TF2 but you can only play for so long.

I would like to see Valve come up with some fresh new imaginative IP that isn't something decades old. Half life was a ground breaking game and to this day I will fire it up and play through about once a year after I get the urge. On a rail was my favorite part. I feel dread when I get to Zen because I know the end of the game is near.

More RAM, so less movement of the weights around to generate a token. Most of the speed limit on a LLM is bandwidth of getting the weights around. To a great extent, your token speed is approximately your (model size)/(effective bandwidth). If you need to shuffle the weights into VRAM from main RAM, you halve your speed (bandwidth used both to move into VRAM and out). If you need to pull the weights from disk, even worse.

The better option is to configure DHCP to hand out the Pi-hole as your DNS server. If your router cannot do that, but you want to go deep enough to configure your home network with a Pi-hole, you should probably also invest in either a better router or OpenWRT on your current one to get a few more features.

Ideally, you do not run DNS on your router at all, and you also block outbound to 0.0.0.0:53 from anything _except_ the Pi-hole, so that there's no convenient way to get to an unblocked DNS by bypassing it.

DNS-over-HTTP is a bit harder to block, and of course malware could have an IP baked in and so bypass this entirely.

Commuting doesn't have to be by cars, nor should factories and warehouse should be prohibited out of hand from being located inside cities. It really depends.

Even then, it still makes sense to aggregate industrial concerns within a given area to benefit from colocation of related industrial facilities and make it easier to commute via public transit.

Farms on the other hand should be subsidized. This is also where cars usually makes the most sense.

LLMs are incredible at editing my writing. Every email I write is improved by LLMs. My executive summaries are improved by LLMs. It wont be long until every single office worker is using LLMs as an integral part of their daily stack, people just have to try it and theyll see how useful it is for writing.

Microsoft turned itself into a trillion dollar company off the back of enterprise SAAS products and LLMs are among the most useful.
Chatbot arena leaderboard is a good test for vibes and style of response, but not much else. R1's performance in objective benchmarks (coding, etc.) showed very good performance, granted, but inferior to the full o1 and o1-pro models.

Depersonalization and derealization are truly awful. Having experienced them for non-psychedelic reasons, it's almost indescribable.

Sometimes people say "seeing events in third person". My experience was that my consciousness and actions were completely disconnected from my observations of reality. Like, I questioned whether I had any influence at all over my existence. Basic, predictable events were suddenly uncertain and terrifying. It left me with no mental capacity to do anything but uneasily exist.

With treatment, it goes away gradually over months. I never want to go back there.
It absolutely was on the ragged edge of viable. In the first one (and 3G) you could easily scroll a webpage faster than it could render it.

Pricing? Whats bespoke about it? Whats your pricing metric?
as a non expert but interested on the field of AI. / LLM's, it feels -intutively- that the symbolic reasoning layer a KG and ontologies bring, is the only way to ground down into -truths- the hallucinations of LLM's, if regular LLM's are just auto-complete, how do you give them the capability to reason about the world, and environment they operate in, how do you adscribe -truth- to certain wrods, or entities, most can be solved by giving it the specific context, but in the specific area of autonomous -super intelligence- one would expect for the system to be able to gather, construct ,and expand on suck knowledge graph by itself.

I could see it playing out like this, except that you can't fire so many that the departmental mission enacted by congress is substantially or totally hindered.

Fire any one particular person? Maybe. Fire everyone in a department? What power does congress have if that were allowed?
Or Obama. See: Wolf Amendment. [1]

Following typical tropes about China, "we" decided to ban space cooperation with them because they were just going to steal American space tech or whatever. That's why, to this day, you never see Chinese on the ISS. Of course China then became the 2nd largest player in space, behind only SpaceX, launched and manned their own space station, sent a rover to Mars, carried out unprecedented sample return missions from the dark side of the Moon, and just generally ran circles around the US sans SpaceX.

If it wasn't for this dumb law, it's likely NASA would have been able to use Russia, China, and SpaceX as redundancies for getting Americans to the ISS as one country/company fell out of favor with this administration or that. As was we ended up turning to Boeing for a redundancy. For those that don't follow space news, the 2 astronauts Boeing [barely] sent to the ISS are still stranded up there after their vessel was deemed too dangerous to return in.

I oft wondered what it would have been like to live in Rome circa 460.

I get your point. Inevitably someone sees “oh I can swap two values with 3x xor” and puts it in a real codebase. Write readable code. We probably don’t need to save the single word of memory in 2025.

Someone at work learned what a bitmap was and now uses them in dozens of golang structs as part of API bindings to know whether a field is set or not. It’s insane. Cool lower level tricks are neat but let’s not invent things that are difficult to understand or work with.
Not a good comparison, anyone's higher ups have the authority to call for an RTO with a consequence of being fired. Trump can do that to Musk, Tesla's board/shareholders can do that. SpaceX investors can potentially gang together and do that depending on Musk's voting share control. Same with XAi, Boring Company etc.
Still doesn't make any sense as you can just look at a single letter or even just part of a letter and get the color.

I think LLMs are vastly overhyped and mostly useless, but I use Copilot as glorified autocomplete and like it.

It does what the other poster said: it automates the boring parts of "this db model has eight fields that are mostly what you expect" and it autocompletes them mostly accurately.

That's not something an IDE does.

Yeah, this is how I feel too. A lot of the movement in Python packaging seems to be more in managing projects than managing packages or even environments. I tend to not want to think about a "project" until very late in the game, after I've already written a bunch of code. I don't want "make a project" to be something I'm required or even encouraged to do at the outset.
