Likewise. I'd also like to be able to run rootless quadlets with the DynamicUser= option. DynamicUser= has been a great way to restrict privileges for system services, and it just doesn't fit with podman right now.

Anyone else reading this comparing it with their personal experience using AR devices and thinking that the current devices Oculus/Apple Vision Pro devices feel like they are increasing eyestrain?
How does residential solar increase grid stability?

The “Stability” of a power system would relate to the ability to withstand changes in load conditions. I don’t see how residential solar contributes positively to that.
The allies most definitely committed war crimes - the Red Army was pretty brutal in Eastern Europe, for example, for literally no reason. As for the Americans, there is certainly ongoing debate as to whether the nuclear weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were really necessary.
Actually, scratch that, the link I posted is to a master thesis.
From my experience LLM inference really, really likes memory bandwidth, which at 1.79 TB/s the 5090 has quite the lead on the APU's 273GB/s
I think we're in for a new multi-decade round of 'eating the world' .. and Im going to annoy everyone by suggesting that the microkernel of this new megascale world-changing engine of growth is actually the tiny garage startup using Machine Learning / Reinforcement Learning to tackle some previously too-hard problem in engineering/logistics/robotics/medicine/industry.

We are in a boom and bust and boom ... the current moment rhymes with 1993 of the internet boom - lots of hype, lots of big money .. but also something new and useful is emerging.

Its happening faster this time around ... BUT I do see a capital-to-startup impedance mismatch problem - imo, we need smaller, faster, standardized early pre-seed rounds : to build the future we need angels to take 10 x 30k bets, not 2 x 150k bets.

We actually dont need to wait for AGI to achieve an incredible creation of wealth and improve our lives .. we can just _apply_ the tech that already exists in raw form today. The resulting growth will override a plateauing Moores Law, and use all those largely dormant many-cores on todays CPU/GPU/NPU hybrid chips.

Its the best of times and the worst of times - geopolitical and economic malaise coinciding with a Cambrian explosion of new technology.

I dont think most VCs have the background to recognize this new kind of startup .. but tech-founders who had an exit payout will be well placed to go fly fishing for them - Im hoping these people will step in and Angel invest, to build the future they see on the horizon.
I don't know how they intend to implement these ideas if the article can't even give a high level summary of what they are.
The Standard Cosmology Model May Be Breaking
Depends on the project. For websites I like to use a statically generated Nextjs site served by nginx[1] and for SPAs Nginx that serves a Vite-built static bundle with a backend that’s in whatever language the backend team chose.

This was one of my favorite books growing up, something it seemed only I have read. I’ve never seen it talked about since. Might be fun to reread it now and see how it’s aged now that I’m on the other side.
> The problem with a lot of the other SKUs is the lack of a good way to buy a single license legitimately from Microsoft

because the higher ups at microsoft deems these SKUs not suitable for the average pleb on a home computer. They're intended for a fleet of commercial computers (like schools, libraries, offices etc), and priced to match the expected sale.

For home use, microsoft wants the user to be an obedient sheep, and gobble up whatever that is fed through the pipe. Soon enough, this will make the computer more of an appliance, than a computer - like a washing machine or TV, instead of a general machine capable of doing whatever the user commands.
EDIT: I left out an important detail! The teacher of the programming class was actually a student who was apparently quite gifted, and guess whose computer the program was installed on? Right.

I also remembered another detail: Apparently the same fellow, who had a reputation for smart but also extremely difficult to deal with (I wouldn't know, never met them) also had their fingers in one of the first dialup Internet services in the area, cleverly named DNIS (Desert Network Internet Service, I think? It was basically an Internet connected Linux shell if I recall) but everyone locally called it PNIS. Poor guy.

It does not support non-English title casing. From the documentation:

Does anybody ever advocate economic decline?

Non-Abelian Anyons and Non-Abelian Vortices in Topological Superconductors
Yeah I opened this issue and still stand by the problems. We actually switched to electron since then because of the horrible performances on Linux.
Ok, I think this is actually the best recipe app I've used. Well done!
could you please add enterprise iot versions? it looks great :)
They found nothing, because they were not doing actual review. They just slashed things without comprehension, claimed they were fraud and then had to hire people back because they broke law or fired people they need. All the while throwing around accusations and knee jerk accusations based on nothing.

Every time their claims were checked, there were found massive mistakes and lies.

Repeating loendoes not make it true, despite people like you trying to use that tactic.
.. we need a Foundation .. and a second Foundation :]
"Non-Abelian Anyons and Non-Abelian Vortices in Topological Superconductors" (2023) https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.11614 :

> Abstract: Anyons are particles obeying statistics of neither bosons nor fermions. Non-Abelian anyons, whose exchanges are described by a non-Abelian group acting on a set of wave functions, are attracting a great attention because of possible applications to topological quantum computations. Braiding of non-Abelian anyons corresponds to quantum computations. The simplest non-Abelian anyons are Ising anyons which can be realized by Majorana fermions hosted by vortices or edges of topological superconductors, ν=5/2 quantum Hall states, spin liquids, and dense quark matter. While Ising anyons are insufficient for universal quantum computations, Fibonacci anyons present in ν=12/5 quantum Hall states can be used for universal quantum computations. Yang-Lee anyons are non-unitary counterparts of Fibonacci anyons. Another possibility of non-Abelian anyons (of bosonic origin) is given by vortex anyons, which are constructed from non-Abelian vortices supported by a non-Abelian first homotopy group, relevant for certain nematic liquid crystals, superfluid 3He, spinor Bose-Einstein condensates, and high density quark matter. Finally, there is a unique system admitting two types of non-Abelian anyons, Majorana fermions (Ising anyons) and non-Abelian vortex anyons. That is 3P2 superfluids (spin-triplet, p-wave paring of neutrons), expected to exist in neutron star interiors as the largest topological quantum matter in our universe.
It seems my hypocrisy knows no bounds

He had any number of great lines but this one I really enjoyed.
I gave a concrete example to the affirmative to a different commenter, so strictly speaking, yes. Arguably many European politicians don't say this but advocate for policies whose immediate logical conclusion is stagnation or decreasing growth. One example to demonstrate the point is banning fossil fuels (not debating the merits of it, but to demonstrate the point). In fact, the writing of Abundance is implicitly acknowledging such policies are in place.

But that was not the main point: there is a difference in basing your ideology on top of that pillar and betting the farm on it ala Abundance vs. just thinking economic growth is a nice to have blessing.
It’s a common algorithmic need.

Not as common as array sort. But still common.
I get no eyestrain, personally, when using my Quest 3. The focus distance of the virtual image is between 1-2 meters, which is pretty good. However, the device gets uncomfortable to use over long periods of time in other areas like the forehead, etc.
Probably you saw my rant. We are small team, rust shop and we shipped Tauri for a couple years to more than 20k users. Our application is complex and we had a lot of unpleasant debugging to do due to differences in native webviews. Linux performance was just plain bad. We switched to electron, far from ideal but overall the right decision for us at least until Tauri allows bundling of a stable browser.

Same experience from pretty much the same time.

I ran a relatively small web consultancy at the time and we were in the middle of trying to specialise in the new, more complex things people were starting to build on the web.

We had the potential to land a contract with what would be by far the biggest client we'd ever had. But they wanted us to test the water with us first by having us build a series of obnoxiously complex manufacturing cost calculators for one of their sales-focused web sites.

It was all complex rules and interdependent inputs/display values. And because it could all be hard coded it was the perfect candidate for a client-side only site (I don't think we even called them SPAs yet)

I remember thinking jQuery UI didn't feel like the right tool and React was super clunky back then so I reached for Mithril and had a great experience.

The declarative approach, automatic updates to the DOM etc that we take for granted now felt like magic back then. Being able to describe the data model/logic in a relatively abstract way and then watch as the UI changed in response was pretty cool.
Well I know what I’m listening to at work tomorrow. Wonder if this is going to make my code happier or sadder.

Also now wondering if there’s any research on how music affects (cognitive) performance.
I now used both the oculus/quest and xreal for years now for many hours per day and never noticed. I get tested once a year and my eyesight remains the same (I am 50+ and don't need reading glasses still which apparently is not very normal here).

Is there a full-blown SPA demo made with htmx?
Until a few months ago I would have suggested Pop!_OS. I had been a happy user myself for several years and it's nice that almost everything works out of the box. Personally I recently got a new laptop and switched, but would still have recommended Pop!_OS to a non-expert user. However...

A few months ago my girlfriend started trying Linux and went with Pop!_OS on my advice. For most regular use it does indeed work fine, but she has needs for specific software that only exists for Windows. And that's where quite a few issues appeared. Both on the 22.04 and the new COSMIC version, the Lutris/Wine combination has... quirks. It's a pain to get her software working. It also just randomly _stops_ working. Whereas on a spare machine with just Ubuntu 24.04, all that stuff just works instantly.

Granted, not the most typical usecase, but even non-expert users can have hobbies that require obscure software. And more important than anything is that their software continues to work easily. I'm not sure I would recommend Ubuntu to a non-expert. It has its own quirks.

This comment ended up being less coherent and more ranty than I wanted, but there's a non-expert's Pop!_OS experience.

If you don't know how things work, maybe you shouldn't talk as if you do know.
"Still, I was determined not to write any code ... I just sat laughing as the computer wrote code."

I can pop over to Midjourney and be determined not to draw a single line and "sit there laughing" as it draws the Mona Lisa in the style of Salvador Dali but with a turnip instead of a person.

How is this any different? What is ultimately notable about it? Did any of it make you a better programmer?

I'm always deeply impressed when people devote significant chunks of their time to achieving extraordinary results. I'm entirely baffled, however, that there's anything at all interesting about using an AI interface to build an AI interface to connect you to AI slop.

You could have spent 20 hours planting trees or doing some kind of community serivce, and the world would have been a far better place.

The tell:

> The questions asked above have received wholly contradictory answers. The United States is the land of the free—no, we are the home of systemic oppression.

OKAY. Not quite yet ...

> Rather than try to reconcile opposites, let’s imagine the consequences for two very different iterations of American society as they reap the whirlwind sowed by the human/AI mind:

> The first is a place of grievance and despair, composed of individuals universally alienated from every source of meaning—family, community, religion, nation, history. The result can only be self-loathing and moral paralysis. The pathologies involved include anxiety, depression, suicide, addiction, loneliness and random violence. Men are impotent and women are sterile. The future is apprehended as an unstoppable catastrophe. Everyday life is a desolation. The only pure soul in this picture is the victim, whose suffering redeems nothing.

> The entry of the human/AI mind into such a society will fill an immense void. It will inspire messianic expectations that can only be fulfilled by a priestly caste of technologists, who will reorganize society on some meaningful principle. Instead of God or Mammon, despairing Americans will come to worship an immortal Mind. Everything will be structured in terms of purposeful activity. The alienation of labor will be turned inside out, as work and worker dissolve into a single algorithmic function. Human existence will be reenchanted but deprived of agency. In this vision of the future, we will be predicated to a transcendental AI Subject.

> The second iteration posits a society of adventure. This assumes the continuation in time of a primordial theme of American life: the spirit of the frontier. The guiding impulse will be to “move fast and break things”—to push beyond geographical boundaries, the line of received knowledge, conventional arrangements, established systems. Endless pretexts will be found for competition, exploration, innovation, games of skill and chance, with heroic champions held as the models and envy of the rest. The abiding virtue of this society will also be its most egregious vice: a terrible restlessness—the inability to stand put and wait to see what happens.

> The insertion of the human/AI mind will turbocharge this society’s naturally dynamic tendencies. Exploration will push beyond all previous limits, even to the stars, triggering a manic quest to leave ourselves behind. Competition will drive differentiation in every facet of existence, down to the genome level: We will breathe freely in the void of space. Innovation, child of competition, will give “creative destruction” a dangerously literal meaning. Epic art and poetry will coexist with robotic warfare and genocidal technologies. It will be the best and the worst of times, an age of heroes and holocausts—the final fulfillment of human potential, lived on the edge of extinction.

I vote for neither of the above.
Did AI write this?
Ah, thank you so much for reminding me of Grantland!!
Good for Soros. See, billionaires can make a difference!

remember, when someone says "see, billionaires can't buy elections" you should ask them to be specific about which billionaire they mean.
It depends on your use case. Deterministic output is less "creative."
I can understand that MCP integration is useful. But why do I need a docker tool to be able to run LLMs locally?
Interesting article. I always assumed that a large part of the "soot" air pollution in cities came from car tyres as well, since their compounds are one of the main sources for the dust that deposits in apartments.
Thank you for bringing this up. All the marketing (and the "journalism" regurgitating it) are writing as though 'seaglider' is a word I ought to be familiar with, but have never encountered before. I had a lot of "these things seem a lot like an ekranoplane variant, but they're not calling them that" puzzlement.
What a beautfiul, human-made illustration at the top of this article!

This outcome had nothing to do with Soros and everything to do with the fact that people really hate Elon. Most (normal, not terminally online) conservatives I know want him to go away as well and view his "autistic screeching on twitter" as the reason they lost this election.

And now his threat to fund primary elections against anyone who doesn't blindly support Trump is shown to not only be completely hollow, its worse than that because there's every reason to believe his support is brand-toxic to whomever he supports in a way that far outpaces the money injection he brings.

With this election outcome he's been exposed as a complete lame duck when it comes to being any sort of political kingmaker. And now that he's exposed Trump is very likely to toss him away in the near future like he did with Giuliani or Mike Lindell or any hundreds of people he discarded when their usefulness to him was used up.
I felt that, I felt that deeply

One of the most devious analytic chemistry labs I had was the one where the spectroscope was ancient, its tray was less transparent and more milky white, and the fluid to analyze was some sort of expired flavored water. The attempt vs result chart looked exactly like that figure.

A really eye-opening experience in many ways.

I also built Fiscal AI, a financial expense analysis, transaction classification, expenditure forecast/prediction and ai assistant tool powered by machine learning models and LLMs. You can see a short demo here https://supercut.video/share/nickson-langat/lKLxTSQsdv79scuW...

I thrive on building impactful, user-centric applications and am always eager to take on new challenges. If you're looking for an engineer who can deliver high-quality solutions, let’s connect. I'd love to discuss how I can contribute to your team.
I really hate that framing. "Tech is made up of people who don't do housework" is an insulting and largely incorrect framing, and my vast experience of cleaning my shower has taught me that it's almost completely unlike tech debt. The cost of not doing it is...it looks bad and it's harder to clean next time. And maybe I need to get out the real bleach and the safety gear. This cost is not at all like tech debt, which has downsides that multiply together in unforseen ways and fuse together into critical outages.

Deferred maintenance of other engineered systems is a better metaphor because it includes severe consequences. If you ignore problems in an aircraft, the aircraft doesn't just look slightly gross: it has to crash land in a river, severely injuring 8 people and killing 2. Similarly, the long-running transactions in that batch job you didn't fix + the fact you delete info from other systems within the batch job before the transaction commits + the job retries on an aggressive backoff + you only have a single database with a limited number of available ports, can all multiply together into a significant outage and data loss.
