World can be a very futuristic experience, or it can be (almost) as it would be say 2005 or even earlier.

My parents and most of their generation experience it in a very similar way. I would say even despite missing out few cool things overall their life experience is better. Simpler, more positive.

I am aiming desperately for similar position. I dont care about coolest new tech unless i can/have to use it directly at my work. I stopped watching most of politics since there is no win there, just mental abyss. I know its sort of giving up, but I cant win this fight so why bother, just wait it out.

One effect I can see that comes with massive power - dont let orange man drag you into his pit of unstable misery, its like a black hole. Engaging with any related info has this effect. He is not exceptional in this, had exes with similar 'skill', but his power is a massive multiplier. Be stronger than him, for yourself and your closest ones.
If the goal is to build AI agents, I’d think the maximum utility from them would come from building agents that can use the UI that humans use. Or at the very least, the lesser available API. MCP is yet another interface to services when there’s already at least two out there available to use
Have there been meaningful changes to the browser spec since ES2015 support was baked in? Chrome, Safari etc. are not developing their browsers for the betterment of the web. One company wants to shove ads in your face, the other wants you out of the web entirely and into their walled garden of apps and ads.

From a security standpoint, I'm sure it's more complicated, but UBO and warning dialog boxes about downloading files to your device, logging into services without 2FA would probably solve a lot of those problems. Does a billion dollar corp have to be involved considering how much has gone into Linux from people's pro bono efforts?
You have to go deeper than that, though. Eru Ilúvatar said this to Melkor:

> No theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.

The idea being that the evil that Melkor commits ultimately just builds towards the creators greater and secret purpose. It's kind of an attempt to deal with the "problem of evil".
Ironically this post is #1 on my hackernews feed
Sure, but that’s not what the person responding to my original comment was suggesting :). They suggested that you serialize entire data structures (bloom filters, lists, sets, etc…) into a relational DB to get redis-like functionality out of it; I chose a list as an example to illustrate why that’s not a great option in many cases.

You’re right that managing lists in RDMSes is easy-ish, if you don’t have too many of them, and they’re not too large. But, like I mentioned in my original comment, redis really shines as a complex data structure server. I wouldn’t want to implement my own cuckoo filter in Postgres!
For the Mac version, one of the “features” is that it’s built with the native UI toolkit and tries to blend into the desktop instead of setting itself apart with “branded UI” like browsers tend to do these days. Presumably the Linux version (which I’m assuming is built with GTK) would similarly adhere to GTK desktop (mostly GNOME) conventions.
The blank (typically just a flat disc) is wider than the finished product and so the metal that will eventually form the wall starts outside the perimeter of the finished product. When the punch moves downwards, it hits what will become the bottom and then "draws in" the rest of the material. Hence the name.

See https://www.manufacturingguide.com/en/deep-drawing for a graphical illustration.
Retaliatory tarrifs are something like MAD. Tarrifs are bad for both countries. Yes, Canada placing retaliatory tarrifs hurts Canadian consumers, but it also hurts American exporters. The alternative, doing nothing, would in some sense be preferable immediately, but in the long run would risk losing Canadian industry to the US.
Let's not turn into game-theory bros here. Despite the nationalist, pie-dividing rhetoric the billionaires are foisting upon us, it remains favorable to grow the pie with competitive markets.
I don't think the author suggest a 10x-or-bust dichotomy. From the end of the piece:

> I expect LLMs have definitely been useful for writing minor features or for getting the people inexperienced with programming/with a specific library/with a specific codebase get started easier and learn faster. They've been useful for me in those capacities. But it's probably like a 10-30% overall boost, plus flat cost reductions for starting in new domains and for some rare one-off projects like "do a trivial refactor".

That "10-30% overall boost" matches your "20% more productive" pretty well.
Ever try installing chrome on an old operating system like Windows 7? It doesn't work but if already installed then much faster. Wonder upto what version works with win7
A sample MCP example with data would be helpful.
If someone told me to “spend some time with an AI” I just wouldn’t spend any more time with that person. What a nightmare.
But it also works vice versa. Remember that Google literally misses its own ChatGPT while key figures literally work at Google.

These trillion-dollar companies only focus on billion-dollar markets and kill their own products that are deemed unable to scale at a planetary level
Isn't this by definition not a legitimate use? They are mathematical symbols, not linguistic graphemes. Readers could dynamically read out the description of every non-letter, though that could be more confusing than helpful in some situations. They could explicitly add these cases as letters, though that would make the reader attempt to read math as words. Simply skipping them seems like the worst option, though. Legitimate or not, it is in practice a real-world usage, so readers should probably account for it, though I can't say I blame them for not doing so. Deciding how to treat every block of Unicode case-by-case would be an impossible task.

It really is just unnecessary and arrogant gate keeping.

OP for now just wants to talk to people, I assume to understand their issues, what they tried, what makes it better and what makes it worse for them. Talking to people volunteering for a call is not dangerous.

For all we know, OP will not see any pattern that fits their hypothesis and leaves it at that.

Espressif chips such as the ESP32 family are used for so many more applications than just smart home devices, which ESPHome targets.

e. g. it doesn't make sense to install ESPHome on an ESP32-based drone :)
I'd think that the pressure in these forming operations would be too great for the ultrasonics to really matter, but apparently not. If they can scale it up to things like extrusions it could be a big deal.

I agree, if you can communicate effectively AI is a huge productivity jump.

Another thing I've found is to actually engineer a solution - all the basic coding principles come into play, keeping code clean, cohesive and designing it to make testing easy. The human part of this is essential as AI has no barometer on when it's gone too far with abstraction or not far enough.

When code is broken up into good abstractions then the AI part of filling in the gaps is where you see a lot of the productivity increases. It's like filling water into an ice tray.
This is so so dumb and not related to the already dumb monopoly ruling.

I remember Eclipse! That was something like 20 years ago I used it last time. Thanks for bringing back some memories.

Setting up an efficient terminal environment is overwhelming. I do it as a hobby and enjoy the tinkering. Thanks to GPT the process is quicker. But I spent a lot of time just setting up a basic environment.
Nice tool, however if I am correct you are calling the Google generative language API directly, your API key is exposed to the client (the browser).

If you have no spending limits, this is a very (very very very) bad idea.

For small projects you can also add something like Watchtower to your compose file and then you need only build and push the image.

And I assume you want to be building once to test your changes anyways, so you really only need to push.

This might be obvious, but to me, it was an important realization that a lot of subreddits that deal with, say, chronic health issues, are going to skew towards people who have extreme conditions. People who get better aren't necessarily going to want to be hanging around in such spaces.

Even subreddits that don't deal with health conditions are going to skew a certain way over time just as a result of who hangs out there all the time and who is accepted, so the "reality" you see in a subreddit is not necessarily the true reality of the greater population. (Again, this should be obvious, but it's easy to forget this when you start reading a reddit post and thinking, "I don't agree with all these people, but there are many people with this opinion. Should I be thinking more like they do?")
If you're a longtime YouTube consumer, you know that the platform has become just as enshittified as Twitter or Instagram, jumping on the micro-attention infini-scroll band-wagon with YouTube Shorts.

My solution to the horrendous algorithmic recommendations that YouTube tees up these days is DF Tube (Distraction Free YouTube). It's a plugin available on the Firefox & Chrome app stores, perhaps others. As with all browser plugins, decide whether you're willing to trust the developer.

DF Tube goes the full mile by attacking the YouTube DOM and eliminating (with extreme prejudice) anything other than a search bar, a video, and core menu functions. That means the following are gone:

- Notification Bell
- Feed
- Autoplay
- Trending
- Comments/Live comments
- Related videos

> As insane as all of this is, I still have a hard time believing that they're foreign assets. They are doing what Trump was elected to do.

I don't recall most of the things going on now coming up during the campaign, so I don't see how you can conclude he was elected to do them. He was elected to do the things that he spent 95% of his campaign time on.
Orion has a native element remover, just click the paintbrush icon in the toolbar.

uBlock Origin support is at least partial because whenever I click an analytics-redirect link in my email and it opens in Orion, I get a uBlock “tracker blocked” page.
Linux kernel gets so so much of corporate support, and is still a much more smaller project than any web browser. People's pro bono efforts stopped being enough for linux about 2 decades ago at the very least.
Yes that’s the one.

I know nothing about it, because exclusively use custom and niche feeds!
The answer is quite simple, they just need to make a big announcement that they will be investing a few billions into something that will 'create well paying AMERICAN jobs', keypoint is that they need to let Trump announce it.

It doesn't matter if they actually go through with it or greatly inflate the number like OpenAI, Softbank and co did.
Making assumptions about the semantic intention of characters is dangerous (it falls into the category of "cute" behavior of software attempting to be helpful). If you do this, the reader will attempt to pronounce mathematical formulas like words.

Admittedly this is a common mis-use of these characters, so I'm not sure what the best compromise is, but there isn't an obvious compromise (hence the answer to "why don't they fix this").

In my experience it's "watch one video outside of your recommendations and then half your next set of recommendations will be related to that". I'm scared to click on anything I'm not already subscribed to for fear of trashing the home page.
The problem is that it’s simply not credible on its face. No matter what is said, there is no possibility of US leaders launching nukes over Ukraine.

It’s a bad idea to bluff in situations like this, because when the obvious bluff is called and you are forced to back down, it makes enemies more likely to test all your commitments and “red lines”.

While Putin might not be willing to risk MAD either over Ukraine, it’s a lot more believable that he would than that the US would. There have been direct kinetic attacks on Moscow and parts of Russia have been invaded. There have been assassination attempts against people close to him. This is not some far away conflict for him. He’s already taking on a huge amount of risk, a lot more than the US has taken on in a long time—even in WW2 there was no direct attack on the continental US.

Nobody said "start a nuclear war". They said "maybe we shouldn't roll over for the nuclear power just because they want something and make insincere threats involving nukes"

The logical consequence of disagreeing with this is that every country that doesn't want a significant percentage of their population killed or conquered or enslaved should get their own nukes, because nobody else wants to help them. And I'm not sure every country acquires nukes is a safer world than maybe we don't let Putin have everything he wants
And yet every human that sees them used this way gets it. It would not be that hard for the screen reader software to do similarly.
Negative productivity for me as I have to review bad LLM code during PR reviews.
There are some people you just can’t reach. The people who won’t manage their media feeds will never “read a book”. It’s like asking people to stop eating junk food, some just won’t even if it’s making them miserable.
Don't libertarians like free markets? Why should the government intrude on contracts for drugs or murder?
Additionally, the magnetic shape and location of the poles are also shifting, which I think suggests the core is also shape changing.
The difference is pretty obvious, no? Google search and Chrome are genuine monopolies: they complete dominate their respective markets. Chrome decides which JS APIs and which other HTML extensions are available in all browsers. If Chrome implements it, all others follow or it is IE6-style "this only works in Chrome" for everyone. Notice that every browser's UI has followed Chrome. Every browser offers identical webextensions. Etc.

For Google search, the quality has gone down enormously and yet it has lost approximately 0 market share. It is still utterly dominant. This was used to push people to Chrome, and still is. It was used to dominate the web ads market. And so on: market power used to increase market power in other markets. Classic anticompetitive behaviour.

Apple doesn't have anything like a monopoly in any market. Even in the US, where their position is strongest relative to Android, it still isnt even close to a monopoly.

iOS isn't a monopoly so there is nothing wrong with it being locked down. It doesn't pressure "teens" into anything. Teenagers will pick up on anything they can to create peer pressure themselves. They would just say "lol nice loser android phone" when they saw the phone in person anyway lol.

> You are accusing him of a new crime.

I am doing no such thing. I have no idea if he committed a crime. I am not litigating anything. He did an interview without getting permission, breaking the rules of his confinement. That’s obvious, since the interview aired. I don’t need to litigate it, and I’m not attempting to.

> Prisoners are still afforded their constitutional rights.

No, they aren’t; this is plainly untrue. They are afforded some of their constitutional rights, but not all of them.

While prisoners do not enjoy full constitutional rights, they do receive 8th Amendment protection from cruel and unusual punishment. For example, the Supreme Court ruled that California jails must abide by the court-mandated population limits to prevent overpopulation, and thus affording inmates a minimum standard of living in Brown v. Plata.

There are some other rights, like due process, protection under the 14th amendment from discrimination and unequal treatment based solely on their race, sex, or creed, etc.

Lastly, incarcerated individuals are guaranteed the right to religion and free speech as long as their status as prisoners does not interfere with these protected rights.

Please educate yourself: https://www.jailhouselaw.org/your-rights-prison

Prisoners do not have all their constitutional rights. If your argument is that they should, then that’s a different discussion.
Difficulty isn't the problem, as stated. The issue is that software doesn't know what "used this way" means - only humans do.
I was also born in Russia. Things are bad now, but the arc of history is long. Stalin saw millions repressed under his brutal reign but was thrown immediately under the bus after his death. Non-hereditary autocracy is an inherently unstable system; we can still hope for positive change once the current crop of dictators passes away.
I meant it like: it's the best we got, but that doesn't mean it's perfect.

This is a form of 'ability grouping'. Many people in California don't like ability grouping, for ideological reasons, even though it works.

In an ever-changing universe, how can we have social stability without innovation?
The OCaml syntax was discussed a long time ago between the developers and the whole community and the agreement was that the community is happy with the current/original syntax. ReasonML was created for those developers more familiar with Javascript, but it was not very successful in attracting new developers as they usually look more at the semantics of the language along with the syntax (and that is where OCaml's type system shines). Strictly speaking, there is a long list of ML family languages that share many properties of OCaml's syntax. However, what is a ‘reasonable’ syntax is open to debate. Javascript and Python were not mainstream languages when Ocaml was developed and it made much more sense to create a syntax in line with the ML family of powerful languages available at the time. Once you program a bit in OCaml syntax is not a problem, learning to program in a functional paradigm and getting the most out of it is the real challenge.
