Dear battery technology claimant,

Thank you for your submission of proposed new revolutionary battery technology. Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion technology and is just around the corner from taking over the world. Unfortunately your technology will likely fail, because:

[ ] it is impractical to manufacture at scale.

[ ] it will be too expensive for users.

[ ] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

[ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

[ ] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[ ] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable.

[ ] it has too short of a lifetime.

[ ] its charge rate is too slow.

[ ] its materials are too toxic.

[ ] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

[ ] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care.

[ ] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then.

[ ] by this time it ships li-ion advances will match it.

[ ] your claims are lies
Really ?! I don't think I've ever had a case where Claude has given a response that wasn't helpful relative to whatever I was asking, certainly not for cases where I'm just trying to use it, vs probing for shortcomings.

Noways I only interact with Siri via voice, and all these companies have excellent voice recognition - at least as good as your phone keyboard typing accuracy.

Where did you see mention of a setup.py script? I couldn't find that in their docs. From what I saw, they only support using a long-lived repl.
It looks a fantastic building, I managed sneak in for a look around a couple of years back when visiting Skopje, it was full of pidgeons and all that comes with it but didn't seem beyond saving.

Quite literally never. Society and civilization, from the earliest days, has been a story of subjugation of a lower class by a higher class. Technology and force have enabled this.

How else could you compel a farmworking class to provide for other segments of the society?
There is a big gap between "Turing complete"-able and "real-time, interactive, graphical and performant"-thing.
Very reminiscent of the "native gaming is over" crowd that promoted HTML5.
First mover advantage
Their key offering is an open source solution that you can run on your own laptop and Chrome browser, but their approach to doing this presents a huge security risk.

They do have a cloud offering that should not have these risks but then you have to enter your passwords into their cloud browser environment, presenting a different set of risks. Their cloud offering is basically similar to SkyVerne or even a higher cost tier subscription we have at rtrvr.ai
I though this about running multiple nvme disks on single PCIE slot.

Heh I thought you must've tested these on a teeny tiny monitor to make them work. No wonder! But of course when crossing eyes there is essentially no limit. Thanks for the clarification.
I've seen this done by enumerating possible table names.
Ok, now read that in the context of the entire post.
This "where do we draw the line" talk is always so exhausting to he for me. The suggested answer inevitably boils down to "let's not have a line at all", instead of trying to draw a reasonable line and deciding on a case-by-case basis what is and isn't reasonable.

While trying to be reasonable might have unexpected outcomes for either side sometimes, not having a line at all always unfairly skews the damages to one side.
I wonder if Kushal Mohta and Vivaan Baid have ever read the story of the Brazen Bull.
From YT comment section:

>> @TimMattison
>> If this guy goes for a big tech interview they're still going to ask him how to invert a binary tree

> @MichiganTypeScript
> So actually in the "why" video, you're going to hear about exactly that! I was looking for a job during working on this and absolutely got some disappointing rejections, and one was because of my lack of skillset on things like this in a big tech company's interview. I literally failed the technical screening. Oh well.
Custom bedtime stories will make every night in my house more pleasurable!
I'm morbidly curious about your questions.
Ah yes, the Underpants Gnomes theory of Doom execution:

1) Show that a system is Turing complete
2) ???
3) Run Doom on it.

Step 2 is, of course, always trivial, and no amount of effort or technical nous that goes into actually getting to step 3 can possibly be relevant.
i envy dimitri's ambition and capabilities. i want to be able to dedicate that much effort and more into something I'm passionate about. mostly personal discipline/skill issues but MAJOR props to dimitri and this awesome project.
Mounting a fusion reactor (largely automated - these ships have a skeleton crew) on every big ship seems ambitious enough, why would you...sure, why not, package an automated deuterium fuel refinement facility in a box on the ship too. In another ten years you'll be getting them in Christmas crackers.

It’s a considerable amount of work for sure, but that alone doesn’t make it impressive. Maybe there were particularly difficult hurdles to overcome that were solved in novel ways? But I don’t see such noteworthy aspects being mentioned in this thread, and it’s not evident at all that there should be any.
I mean, the point that a physical button (even if it were backed by software, due to the PIN code lock feature) would be appreciated certainly resonates, but it's at least somewhat better than that ;P... open the menu--which probably defaults to Controls; but, if not, click Controls--and then there's a giant Glovebox button.
Yes! Well, I think you could throw it in an iframe, but I'll play around with it and create an embeddable view that looks better.

Somewhat similar and probably easier to achieve would be trees floating in open ocean, and some kind of plant capable to bring nutrients up from the large depth.

Currently most of the ocean is a lifeless desert, with most of life concentrated in the places where upwelling occurs. This kind of floating trees would add enough biomass to compensate for all of the human produced CO2 and even more.
>On a purely UX level, I have never seen 'shouting at a speaker' as a desirable general purpose interface.

On a bus or plane, no, absolutely not. In the kitchen of a busy household, yes, definitely.

That's a stretch, but I guess clickbait is required to get engagement nowadays.
Really like the self-documentation of what the team is working on through the auto summarization and share-out of meeting. Strongly believe in "communication is the job" at tech companies, and with this it doesn't have to feel like a chore.
The speed run is here. Nothing will stop it. There is no status quo ante that we can realistically go back to.
They can, or? Apple calls that spatial videos, or does that work differently?
To say the British monarchy "owns" Canada and Australia is comical
We are working now on support for arbitrary imports of public packages from PyPi, which will include cython support, but only for public pypi packages. Soon after that we'll be working on a way to provide proprietary packages (including cython).
> You do realize this is Microsoft we're talking about here?

Fiscal responsibility: required

> Not merely a couple dudes in their bedroom doing this in their spare time?

Fiscal responsibility: optional

I would also point out, the malware-infested extension we are talking about presents more as the “two guys in a bedroom” model (though possibly a state-sponsored actor).
Generally agree. Had about the same experience working the last job. Took significant effort to go out and find social activities, or develop regular social appointments each week that encouraged participation. Find a board gaming group, just to leave the house after work. Develop a roleplaying group, just to leave the house after work.

Many days of the draining 9 to 5 that mostly just encouraged crashing on the couch and trying not to do very much for several hours. And that was a relatively stable paying job by comparison to many. Working a normal plus a gig job in the modern world seems like there would be little time for anything else.

On the wealth gravitating, had the same consideration (figure many have). With the excessive focus on wealth, the majority of the world is different for the upper 50% (with the caveat that they then focus into the upper 50%, of the upper 50%, of the upper 50%, ect...)

Personal view is it would not be so bad, if the wealthy were actually spending anything. Except unfortunately it seems to have turned into the Russ Hanneman joke from Silicon Valley. They don't want to spend anything because they're worried about losing their status on the ladder bracket. And the only objective is "move to the next upper 50%." If you're $999 millionaire, you fall off the "wealthy" list, and it's like binary where suddenly you get uninvited from all the events people on "the list" get to go to.

From a game designer background though, it's frustrating, because it's like a game where there's 10-20 possible "resources", and all anybody will pay attention to is the "coin" quantity. Almost nothing else provides any form of status or tangible benefit. Academic citations don't really provide that much. Military rank doesn't really provide that much. They all still converge towards "bank account" and "coin" quantity.
> In the informational theory sense. A word with broad scope will be more used, thus be more frequent in text, and thus, carry less information.

A rare word carries more information when it is used, but by nature of being rare is infrequently used (99.99...% of sentences are the unsurprising case of not containing the word).

Words that occur frequently typically convey more information in total, and I'd claim that this (opposed to per occurrence) is what it'd make sense to look at when considering redefining a word - among many other factors.

More generally - you don't want the language to be unable to (or make it difficult to) convey common, frequently relevant, concepts.

> But I don't think the author ever compared binary machine only readable formats, either. All the machine-readable formats that he looked into admin were human-readable too.

The only other format the author explicitly names is XML, and it's as an example of a format with "similar virtues" to JSON. The bespoke machine-readable output formats the author is warning against using may very well be non-text formats, particularly with how they "require custom processing that goes well beyond basic grep and awk and other widely available Unix tools".
The Alexa in my in-law’s house already does this and it is such an anti-feature.

It’s always some garbage that they had clicked on at one point.

Right, but based on his statement in that environment, the odds are strongly that Dan doesn't know what the command line is.

It's true that there's an outside chance that Carol's comment would be helpful given unlikely circumstances, but it's more likely that Carol's feigned surprise will make Dan feel stupid for not knowing.

People don't need to say the first thing that pops into their mind just because it's their genuine reaction. When I hear people say things that sound stupid, I don't say, "Wow, I think you're stupid," even though there's an outside chance that the person I'm speaking to takes odd pleasure in people thinking they're stupid.[0]

If my first thought is insulting or rude, I can think for a few more milliseconds and think of a response that achieves my goal while reducing the risk of insulting the person I'm speaking to.

Can you say more about your LinkedIn approach? Are you posting content or cold outreach? Something else?
I could see users absolutely doing that if it was with, say, the extensively tailored product selection of Costco, where you can order a Kirkland brand item in any category and generally be satisfied with the results.

But Amazon shot themselves in the foot by flooding every category with brands like XGYSZY and KWYBLPOP. No one is ever going to trust ordering off Amazon without actually seeing what they're buying. It's kind of baffling that they apparently never understood that themselves.
Alexa - when it works - can do things that cannot be done better in a different ways. There are times when turning on a light or unlocking a door with a phone is better than the alternatives as well. However there are a lot of times where the 100+ year old way of doing the task is better.

Even if voice assistants worked perfectly every time they would still be worse than the switch by the door for controlling the light as you enter/leave. However if you are in bed it may be that despite the current annoyances Alexa is better for controlling the same light.

Everything seemed fine at around 9:00 AM PST (UTC-8). A few minutes later, I made the mistake of reloading Slack after a few messages began failing to send. Haven't been able to access my company's Slack workspace since. At the time of writing this post, it's now 11:00 AM PST.

Emailed my manager explaining the situation. Hopefully they can understand. Also plan to ask others about Slack alternative for situations like this. For now, we are relaying things through e-mail.
> Societies always have a taste for fascism/authoritarianism.

But so too can religious and parental belief systems, so a balance must be struck. Children belong to neither parents nor society, they are simply different guardians and stakeholders of them at different points in their lives.
I’m 100% sure that if he was being considered for a domain expert role in some domain related to this (e.g. TypeScript) his score in a typical whiteboard interview wouldn’t have been a deciding factor whatsoever. This is a standard hiring track even in big tech. Sometimes you’ll even be exempt from these interviews altogether.

But if he was being considered for a mid level generalist role, yeah, none of this would’ve mattered. And why should it?

Medicine. It's significantly harder than software engineering in terms of the lifestyle and demands on you, but I've never been happier or more fulfilled. A lot of the skills translate over, other than perhaps the actual coding.
Looks fascinating! RPC looks interesting. Tasteful website!

Slight typo: search for "NodeSytem" on your home page.
Why mobile connectivity instead of Bluetooth?

As an end user, I prefer my devices use Bluetooth and a hub device like a phone or laptop, rather than each one have a direct mobile connection.
Yes, I've found that just having the MCP server installed, now when I ask a question about Python, Claude becomes eager to check its work before answering Python questions (Claude does have a built in analysis tool, but it only runs Javascript).
Just a few of highly skilled people.
What's going on in your business plan that would be different if we replaced "future tokamak" with:

- compact CPP-violating antimatter reactor

- super-efficient MHD turbine

- perpetual motion engine

- magic box which will be invented in 5 years

No, really, I want to know what you would do differently in each of these situations.
The point is that you can force the respective of a giant or an ant if you so choose.

Using two cameras I had a time lapse of a fog coming in where you could see the 3d structure becuase they were at two different streets looking out.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your apparently sincere belief that spending a trillion dollars to build a fleet of data centers that collectively use more power than Switzerland is a better solution to the enshittification of the web than... not doing that.
We know that humans are capable of writing amazing symphonies or running a 2h marathon, so there’s no point in doing it?

Just because we know something is possible in theory doesn’t mean it’s not impressive to see it done in practice. There was a lot of effort and creativity involved here.
Uhh, it is not medium, it is my own website.
Have you seen what is happening with Slack now? It's down for hours. Doesn't it teach businesses that the crucial instant messaging should be self-hosted for privacy & independence on 3rd party? Why would businesses use your hosted product instead of e.g. open source Nextcloud Talk, Element.io or Mattermost on their own server?

Thanks! You can think of Grimp as a lower-level tool for interacting with the import graph in Python, while Tach is a high-level tool responsible for 'modularity' as a whole (e.g. modules, interfaces, layers, deprecations etc.)

Tach is also more opinionated - so it doesn't require you to write any custom code, and uses declarative config to enforce your desired architecture.
Dixon's Algorithm: Asymptotically Fast Factorization of Integers
Incredible. This sounds like an ideological decision rather than a design decision.

> In The Design of Everyday Things, Don Norman discusses how poorly designed doors—often called "Norman doors"--fail to communicate whether they should be pushed or pulled. A well-designed door should naturally indicate how it operates through affordances (such as a push plate vs. a pull handle) and signifiers (like labels or arrows). This concept is part of a broader discussion on human-centered design and usability.

At a minimum, a poorly designed door can be opened!
> The Missouri is the largest tributary of the Mississippi River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico

He must mean longest. This chart[0] shows that the Ohio is by far the largest tributary of the Mississippi by volumetric flow, and also shows the Atchafalaya bifurcation. However, the wiki articles for the Missouri[1] and Ohio[2] show average discharges into the Mississippi of 87,520 cu ft/s and 281,000 cu ft/s, respectively. Not as great a difference as the first chart [0] shows, but still significantly different. Even more interesting, since the Missouri drainage basin is about 2.5x larger.

It's widely agreed that formal verification does not boost software productivity, in the sense that formal verification doesn't speed up development of "software that compiles and runs and we don't care if it's correct".

The point of formal verification is to ensure that the software meets certain requirements with near certainty (subject to gamma radiation, tool failure, etc.). If mistakes aren't important, formal verification is a terrible tool. If mistakes matter, then formal verification may be what you need.

What this and other articles show is that doing formal verification by hand is completely impractical. For formal verification to be practical at all, it must be supported by tools that can automate a great deal of it.

The need for automation isn't new in computing. Practically no one writes machine code directly, we write in higher-level languages, or rarely assembly languages, and use automated tools to generate the final code. It's been harder to create practical tools for formal verification, but clearly automation is a minimum requirement.
That depends on what you want to do. If you want to control one specific light in a large room the phone app may be best - try to explain to google which light you mean.

Most people don't have such a complex setup that this ever comes into play. However if you have a stage in your house (not a movie theater, a full stage) you would want that level of control. There are probably a few dozen such houses in the US.

If the issue at the end of day is "attitude" than why even bring up socialism at all? Wouldn't socialism in this rendering just be an expression of something already there to begin with? Idk, it just sounds like you both want it to about bad guys but also be fatalistic and say there was something inevitable here anyway. I don't really understand logically how you can keep both things true here.

Also cocaine is not comparable whiskey? Why is that?
While I agree it's a good idea to be aware of your sugar and calorie intake in general, I'm not sure it's the same sort of "addictiveness".

We have "high added sugar" warning labels here, as well has high sodium and high saturated fat:

What you are suggesting is basically unenforceable. How would you know what’s in a cameras frame?

What do the police do with that register? That sounds like it’s just helpful for them. If it’s only a registration and not an approval process?

I don’t think you are responsible for data protection laws… like if it’s a ring, that’s amazons problem.

I think this is controversial, because how’s it different from me taking a happy snap on my phone and accidently capturing you in the background.

You could get something like a Span electrical panel and only enable critical loads during a blackout and set the AC a little higher than normal. Even a large house can go down to 20-30 kWh a day.
TetriNET was fantastic. My students played SO much of it in class after they finished their assignments for the day. We even made/used custom skins to improve visibility and thus gameplay

> Also prepare for the certifications of all the mobile networks you want to run on

AFAIK the modem maker actually does this. You would rather check that the chip is certified for what you need before you buy.

> also you need to work on getting yourself provisioned correctly in the mobile networks

AFAIK also, this is a service provided by "virtual operators", companies that pass deals with the main operators and provide advanced services for machine-to-machine uses, for instance.

But perhaps these didn't exist 10 years ago. Things really started to move where I operate when they EoL'd copper wires.
Part of why people only use it for timers is because of its limited capability to understand. „Do I need an umbrella today?“ results in Alexa telling me what the weather will be like without mentioning chance of rain. Asking a trivia question leads to it reading out a response that is wrong 50% of the time. If I ask Alexa to remind me at 8, it asks me whether am or pm though I expressed it unambiguously in German. If I don’t use the right phrasing to snooze a reminder it asks me what I want to be reminded of. And so on, and so forth.
