It would just be an MVNO I would think, but still cool.
I appreciate you taking the time to go through these. It might take some leg work, but anything on privacy statements regarding data collection would be something I would filter on. That may be too ambiguous to do correctly, but what you have for "no account required" and "end to end encryption" (not sure if "point to point" is another good one) helps.
I hope you stop peddling AI slop
SOTA? Lora? Seems like people are trying to usurp ham radio names for things.
> In Texas v. White (1869), the Supreme Court ruled unilateral secession unconstitutional, while commenting that revolution or consent of the states could lead to a successful secession.

How does it work? Doesn't it mean that if a state seceded now, the Supreme Court may still decide that it is constitutional? Genuinely interested.
"Mini Kore is a 120-word subset of the Mini language designed to be a complete language in itself. [...]

Mini Kore is an intellectual descendent of Toki Pona, but distinguishes itself from its progenitor through its richer and more comprehensive grammar and its more useful vocabulary. [...]

Mini Kore began as a relexification of Toki Pona: I started with TP’s vocabulary and replaced each word with a more recognizable global derivation."
You can always cast your way around nominal typing, even with enums. So you can do:

doSomethingBar('No' as Bar);

But you can make my Enum<> utility tighter by including the object type in the brand:

type Enum<T> = {
[K in keyof T]: T[K] & {__brand: T};
}

Then, if you had another const object Baz with the same value as Foo, you would get an error here:

doSomething(Baz.one);

The only time when you wouldn't get an error there is if the whole Baz enum object was assignable to Foo.
The Wii was also extremely easily hackable. Everybody I knew in college were pirating Wii games.

> such a universe would effectively be a fixed 4D structure, a statue incapable of experience

This claim requires proof. When I consider such a universe, it is obvious to me that such a universe would contain entities capable of experiencing it.
polynomials are generalizations of number. you use them to solve equations just like you use all numbers. polynomials add the notion of an "indeterminate"

in the same way that you use integers to solve equations like 3 + x = 2 (x = -1), or rationals to solve 3x = 2 (x = 2/3). you use polynomials to model equations like x^2 = x + 1 (x = phi). or to perform polynomial division. or to do algebraic geometry (x^2 + y^2 - 1 = 0 => unit circle)

Hi, I built this free tool to showcase Amazon Wishlist. I use the wishlists to manage my books. I dit the tool to showcase Amazon Wishlists in a cooler way than Amazon does. It's called zonlist.

It’s completely free, embeddable, and designed with privacy in mind—we don’t share any specific details from the list.

I thought that it may be useful for some of you. Luckily I can get some feedback.

Yes, they are like chancellors, castellans to the feudal lords who own the fief. They are even more vicious than the lord himself because their employment depends on that viciousness. Not that the lords would not be equally vicious if they ran the show.

It's kind of surprising to go back and watch Toy Story in 4k today - the rendering really is quite rudimentary compared to what even video games put out now.

But - you have to be paying attention to see it, because Pixar knew the limitation of their systems. For example, rendering of the time made everything look plasticy, so they rendered ... plastic toys as the main characters! The most noticeable graphical issues are with the rendering of people, but those are put in the background.
It'd be interesting to see if fossil fuels would be considered profitable if we took into account the entire cost-benefit analysis of using them.

I agree the spatialization could be better. I used one of the algorithms in Gephi-lite directly. Do you have a favorite spatialization algorithm to recommend?
I agree with your point, and I think that there are a few exceptional cases (some of which I believe Zipline addresses) where the alternative to the drone delivery is nothing. But to my knowledge, those are very rare use-cases.
Well you’re sort of right, in that yeah, duh, you need your boss to like you to get promoted. If you are a very capable person, it won’t take long before you are looked up to for answers, which is where this attitude of “only doing what the boss wants to hear” falls apart, because, boss is depending on YOUR voice now. It’s not the end of the world if you plateau here, plenty of people do. Personally, while I too think corporate world is rife with idiocy, I’ve learned to largely detach from it. Constant negativity is mildly cathartic at best, and yet, it will burn you out very quickly.

You are not on to some “secret” here, all who participate in corporate work know it’s ridiculous. Seriously, open up a bit, and get to know some of these “terrible bosses” outside of work— they will shit talk with you like anyone else.

This falls apart around the VP layer, as from there up it’s actually insane people living in a different wealth reality than ours.

This is just another form of "god of the gaps" - Penrose desperately wants an interpretation that would allow for freedom of will, and so he constructs a theory around a physical process that allows for randomness, despite there being no evidence that this process is actually relevant to consciousness.
It's an overly harsh characterization of youth - as is much of the article. No need to say you have a character flaw just because you're 30 years old and didn't publish a book in your 20's.

But I agree with the gist.

When you're young, you don't know what you don't know, and usually you have much less to lose by taking risks. As you get older, risks become more costly.

Maybe one way to think about youth in a way that's not self-defeating could be to sit down and think about what youth means to you in the next 1-3 years, and make sure the definition is within reach. The worst thing you can do if you're feeling old is to lean into the feeling. But it's hard not to, because media, TV, etc tries to define youth for the whole of society when really it should be individualized and defined in a way that motivates the person to keep on feeling youthful as far into old age as possible.
Hegseth Orders Cyber Command to 'Stand Down' on All Russia Operations
The first sentence tells you what you need to know. The leader assumes the worker is making a “web of lies” to get out of responsibility. This leader is trash. You need to listen to your employees and respond to their needs. If deadlines are being missed there is likely something wrong with the company; whether it be resourcing, time expectation from above or even just working conditions.
At 56, much of this piece resonates with me, but this passage seems to have been taken from my own thoughts:

In his youth, he vacationed differently. Everywhere he went was a place he could live, a potential future life. He could live here, he’d tell himself. Or he could meet a woman there, and start a family there, and become a citizen of that place. Mexico, Hong Kong, France, Italy, Western Indiana, etc.

Eventually, he met a woman and chose a place – the best woman and the best place – and his future was fixed. The world was good, but the world was no longer full of all these possibilities. What, then, fills the void where possibility once lived?

Much of middle age (and beyond) is a struggle to find meaning in the face of the realization of the finiteness of your remaining days. I think that, by and large, I'm doing a fair job at that, but I still struggle a bit with travel, for the very reason above. I used to imagine myself living in whatever place I visited, and those imaginings were plausibly something more than fantasy.

Now, not so much. It would be a huge undertaking for my wife and me to uproot our lives and move to someplace exotic and different, but even if we were to do so, we couldn't move to everywhere exotic and different. And anyway, we wouldn't be "starting a new life" there in the same way that a young person would.
Is there really a need to carry multiple cellular modems? We already have one in our pocket most of the time and can easily share it in a single click. Feels like the vast majority of use cases are already covered by that solution and it doesn't require a second expensive data plan.
Is that different than rerto-reflection?
It's really nice when doing networking protocols and other binary formats. Lots of things are defined as "This byte signifies X : 0 == Undefined, 1 == A, 2 == B, 3 == C, 4-127 == reserved for future use, 128-255 vendor specific options".

This allows you to do something like:

#[derive(Clone, Copy)]
#[repr(u8)]
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Foo {
A = 1,
B,
C,
}

impl Foo {
pub fn from_byte(val: u8) -> Self {
unsafe { std::mem::transmute(val) }
}

pub fn from_byte_ref(val: &u8) -> &Self {
unsafe { std::mem::transmute(val) }
}
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
use super::*;

#[test]
fn conversion_copy() {
let n: u8 = 1;
let y = Foo::from_byte(n);
assert!(matches!(y, Foo::A));

let n: u8 = 4;
let y = Foo::from_byte(n);
assert!(!matches!(y, Foo::A) && !matches!(y, Foo::B) && !matches!(y, Foo::C));
let n2 = y as u8;
assert_eq!(n2, 4);
}

#[test]
fn conversion_ref() {
let n: u8 = 1;
let y = Foo::from_byte_ref(&n);
assert!(matches!(*y, Foo::A));

let n: u8 = 4;
let y = Foo::from_byte_ref(&n);
assert!(!matches!(*y, Foo::A) && !matches!(*y, Foo::B) && !matches!(*y, Foo::C));
let n2 = (*y) as u8;
assert_eq!(n2, 4);
}
}

This lets you have a simple fast parsing of types without needing a bunch of logic - particularly in the ref example. Someone else sent you data over the wire and is using a vendor defined value, or a newer version of the protocol that defines Foo::D? No big deal, you can igore it or error, or whatever else is appropriate for your case.

If you want to define Reserved and Vendor as enum attributes, now you have to have logic that runs all the time - and if you want to preserve the original value for error messages, logs, etc - you can't Repr(u8) and take up more memory, have to do copies, etc.

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Foo {
Undefined =0,
A = 1,
B,
C,
Reserved(u8),
Vendor(u8),
}

impl Foo {
pub fn from_byte(val: u8) -> Self {
match val {
0 => Foo::Undefined,
1 => Foo::A,
2 => Foo::B,
3 => Foo::C,
4..=127 => Foo::Reserved(val)
128.. => Foo::Vendor(val)
}
}
}

You also need logic to convert back to a u8 now too.

It's not strictly necessary, but it certainly makes some things far more ergonomic.

CORS is flawed. The attacks you typically want to circumvent CORS for are so involved that setting up a little bitcoin-rented VPS as a MITM is not a big part of the hassle.

browser ---> MITM VPS ---> real server

The browser does some (pre-flight) check to see the the origin (`malicious.net`) is allowed to make requests. The real server would reject it. The MITM just rewrites the origin from `malicious.net` to `acceptable.org` which the real server does accept.
Of course you don't care, you made up a story that works for you.
The video being discussed in this thread started off with a rather contentious claim about the Earth being a giant fission reactor that was heavily debated in the comments. I’m not knowledgeable about the subject at all, but it certainly made me double take (and even open the comments!) and seems to be overstated at best.

It's shocking to me the Secretary of Defense confirmation hearing only mentioned "drone" once, and that was not in reference to the future of warfare.

Ukraine has made pretty clear that drones will play a huge roll in future major conflicts. It's crazy that we haven't already shifted major portions of the defense budget from legacy weapons systems (e.g. tanks) to drones.

I disagree on this: "Performance is an absolute thing"

I think the core misunderstanding is what is being discussed. You say "Performance is an absolute thing, not a relative thing. Amount of work per second, not percentage-over-previous!"

But nobody here is concerned with the absolute performance number. Absolute performance is only about what we can do right now with what we have. The discussion is about the performance improvements and how they evolve over time.

Performance improvements are inherently a relative metric. The entire industry, society and economy - everything is built on geometric growth expectations. You cannot then go back to the root metric and say "ah but what really matters is that we can now do X TFlops more", when that number is a mere 10% improvement, nobody will care.

Built into everything around computing is the potential for geometric growth. Startups, AI, video games - it's all predicated on the expectation that our capabilities will grow in geometric fashion. The only way to benchmark geometric growth is by using % improvements. Again, it is wholly irrelevant to everyone that the 5090 can do 20 tflops more than the 4090. 20 TFlops is some number, but whether it is a big improvement or not - ie is it expanding our capabilities at the expected geometric rate or not - is not possible to divine from this number.

And when we look it up, it turns up that we went from 80 tflops to 100 tflops, which is a paltry 25% increase, well short of the expectations of performance growth from Nvidia which was in the 50% region.

20 tflops might or might not be a lot. The only way to judge is to compare how much of an improvement it is relative to what we could have before.
It often has practical problems with tossing people out like: I'm not going to get the money to be able to replace them. OR they know a hell of a lot and it will be years or never before someone can solve the brutal problems they can in a few minutes.

Then you have the issue that the new people you hire might be worse AND a huge pain to train. Or you spend 3 months getting them to know your system and then they leave for another job.

At some point people know if you don't care about them. If you cannot care about them why would they "follow you into battle?"

Our problem is support for the products. If you are deploying these you are probably in the same boat where you only do about 200-300 a year and since you are small potatoes you get no support.

When the only perceived means of winning is making others lose, most people are going to lose.

The US should never have used plurality voting. It functions as the inputs to the Nash Equilibria decision matrix, our individual votes being against a perceived evil rather than for a value which supports civilization.

If instead of {+1, 0, 0, 0...} we used {+1, +0.5, -0.5, 0, 0, 0...} with each non-zero value used at most once and without duplication of candidate, we would be able to vote for the outputs of the decision matrix--our combined decision--and avoid the tragedy of the commons. I believe the coordination problem is the Great Filter, and going interplanetary won't solve the underlying math of shooting first being incentivized by winner-take-all, and the risk of mutually assured destruction.

The Partial Vote system as I call it would still be one voter one vote, it would just be easier to express it in separate components rather than listing all permutations.

Edit: Also, try applying ranked choice to a nash equilibrium matrix. There are some pathological cases to using rankings for a single-seat (result) selection process, where a voter might have had a better result for them if they hadn't voted. That can't happen with the partial votes described above.
