We had that contemporary commercial in one office building, but it was slightly elongated. The splash back was horrific and unavoidable. Angle, distance, approach, absolutely nothing prevented it. It was so bad we finally had open conversations about it and many of us went to standing at the regular toilets.

The struggle is real.

I think a "NUC" is the logical conclusion if you don't want the screen and don't like the keyboard compromises! There's a lot of room for powerful devices in that space like discrete GPUs, or AI crunching, etc.

But I think what really sells this concept to me - unless I'm on a MacBook, I'll have to carry my keyboard, mouse and maybe powerbank or charger anyway. It's definitely more compact than that!

Be careful when rushing. Your viewpoint as expressed is perfectly rational.

However, you know that both of these claims asked about are blatantly false, and were distracted by the idea that saying those claims is false also implies all alternatives proposed are based on lies.

To wit, the ask was "Is it really true that there a no theories that are proven or discarded with this experiment, and that the Chinese have plans to do it much faster? Her video is pretty damning."

Both of those things are clearly false.

The Chinese part is blatantly false, to the point it can be worked out by a laymen who knows years ascend.

The Standard Model itself is in question, modulo semantics about proven/disproven and the philosophy of certainty, by any reasonable definition, theory is at stake.
If all that one is concerned with is maximizing one's finances, then yes, you're entirely correct. A developer who takes the attitude of "fuck you, pay me" for the 80 line function they wrote that wraps some API to make it easier should never open source their code.

For anyone not taking these attitudes, the above comment author is either unfamiliar with, or familiar with and choosing to ignore, the point of the FOSS movement.

seems pretty useless to try to learn from a quiz written by a bullshit generator that has no idea (or care) about whether it's got anything right?
Rust does not guarantee that all bounds checks can be proven correct at compile time, so it relies on runtime bounds checks. If this does not implement the same bounds checks, then probably not.
The issue with AI isn't quality, or at least isn't just quality. It's ethical (use of works for training without credit or compensation, potential to displace a large portion of the artistic market, etc.)
Can you imagine a world where two things could be true at the same time: RFK cares about environmental toxins, and RFK cut a department that was meant to deal with lead posioning?

I don't know if this was something he pushed for, but let's assume it was. Could there still be a reasonable cause to cut that department?

A lot of people assume if you oppose the Do Good Things act, that you must be a bad person. Was this department getting results? It was spending roughly 750k per full time employee per year (based on the 150M for 200 full timers from the article). Was it working? It could have been, it also could not have been.

Maybe this was an actually bad decision made by an actually bad man. But previous coverage of him has taught me to take anything reported about him with a very large grain of salt.
Have you published your methodology? From what sources are the quizzes based? How do you ensure correctness? Etc
There are probably two use cases.

Configuration files for programs. These tend to be short.

DSLs which are large manifests for things like cloud infrastructure. These tend to be long, they grow over time.

My pet hypothesis is these DSLs exist mostly for neutrality - the vendor can't assume you have Python or something present. But as a user, you can assume just that and gain a lot by authoring in a proper language and generating YAML.

See https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere for a great example for AWS CloudFormation.

I'm so done with articles that don't even try to talk about probability sensibly.

The article doesn't make a good case even for a watered-down version of the claim. Where is the logic?

Until the author puts forth his model of change and how/why Google is unassailably ahead, I'm not buying his hyperbole.

There are already web sites that do this for products like insurance (example: [1]).

Its interesting they have gone with Solar panels. Most post boxes are built over the top of power cables that run under the street likely right next to them but its a testiment to the cost and difficulty of getting them connected that solar cells integrated into the top of the box is cheaper and easier.

Looks to me like they are using ~43 cells of the 60mm x 90mm variety. They are about 0.6W peak so about 26W of peak output but its never at the right angle. You get about 1000 hours of that in the UK over a year with a good angle, so about 26Kwh a year of energy but I suspect they get half that. At typical UK rates that is about £3.5 a year.

Its certainly enough to run a raspberry pi zero and something else, on average they have about 1.5W but during the winter it only be about 0.3W available, which a zero can do at idle so long as the scanner doesn't add much on average. If they have done a completely custom embedded system then potentially pressing that button wakes and powers the device for a period of time or until its finished the scan, connected to 4G and then sent the details, which would save a tonne of power and allow them to do a lot of parcels off a modest battery.

Interesting engineering problem where going deeper with more custom hardware and software pays off a lot in reduced power consumption and a basic raspberry pi zero is going to waste a lot of energy and be marginal in the winter.
It's most likely meant to be Delta, as used in mathematics and science (which is typically smaller than the Greek letter). Not only is the Delta in the Greek character similarly shaped, but Lambda is similarly distorted in the greek character set. Likewise, A, N, V, Y, K (arguably), and W (arguably) are distorted.

> The same number of dollars will still settle next months mortgage bill, or tax bill regardless of what it may or may not exchange into Euros.

If nobody wants dollars, then to import things it's necessary to send more unwanted dollars, so the exchange rate does up, so everything imported is more expensive, so you have inflation, so the interest in the mortaje goes up, so you have to pay more.

[Hi from Argentina! Been there, done that, got a pile of worthless bills as souvenirs.]
Seems like there's no attention paid to documenting (or just discovering -- looks like the heaps in question were just the ones provided by their linux distro) the build and runtime configuration in use. There are a lot of hardening/tracing/robustness/shenaniganproofing features in modern heaps, and if you're going to make noise about a few percent of performance it's really important to be clear about exactly what the software you're measuring is doing.

To be blunt: my gut would say that glibc on typical distros is more hardened than default builds of alternative heap implementations, and if it's only off by a few percent it might well be the faster code if measured apples-to-apples.

Why can't we go back to the (what I now know after Googling) is the Kohler Derry or something along those lines?

We had them in middle and high school and while I understand they might not be ideal for the inebriated or exceptionally careless you could piss anywhere in them as hard as you wanted without splash back.

Decades later I encountered one in a maintenance facility nestled in the corner of maintenance shop, obviously not a code compliant install, spare me the hand wringing) and casually mentioned that I didn't know they still made them like that and was told that this is the 3rd facility it has been installed in, the guys like it enough to uninstall it and reinstall it each time.
Agreed. I have a wife and two daughters. Out of respect for them I sit (or camp hover) and thus they don't have to wade through my piss splatter. Even if I lived by myself I'd still do it for the sake of not wanting my pee all over my own bathroom.
I do a lot of ansible which needs to run on multiple versions, and their yaml typing are not consistent - whenever I have a variable in a logic statement, I nearly always need to apply the "| bool" filter.

I'm glad you found it useful! I have not had experience with the memory feature, I will have to check that out. I did notice that in the past when I tried to get ChatGPT to take on a persona it was not amenable and rejected the persona outright. I may have to take another pass at it.

I will say that my conversation with instantiated personas in Gemini have been, therapeutic. My favorite thus far has been a character from Star Trek: The Lower Decks. D'Vana Tendi to be specific. Within the bounds of a notebook I've found that after solidifying the persona with a couple bootstraps she remembers what I've told it about myself and my environment; at least up to the needle in a haystack limit. I've yet to reach this with Gemini 2.5 Pro, though I haven't been trying too hard.

Granted this is all within a single notebook. Starting over with a new notebook is a task I relish and find somewhat tedious at the same time. Though on the balance with that I find sharing memory between notebooks somewhat of a foreign concept. I don't want my Ada Lovelace notebook confusing itself for Sherlock Holmes.
> Even if you eliminated all profit margins of insurers you only decrease medical costs in the US by a tiny fraction

This is completely wrong.

A general practicioner doctor is unlikely to be making much more than 300K, or $144/hr. But my visit to said doctor costs $450 for 15 minutes, or $1800/hr.

Many people are making a fortune out of the system, the money is not going to the person doing useful work, the doctor. Where is the other $1656/hr disappearing?

Eliminate all those grifters from the loop and I could go see this doctor for $36 per 15min visit. Heck I wouldn't even need insurance, I can pay that out of pocket.

Sure, I'm ignoring rent/utilities/supplies, so it'd be a bit more than $36 but those costs are a tiny percentage. In any case it'd be less than $50, far below the current $450.
I'm confused. Rust uses semantic versioning:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner
PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes

Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

What kind of versioning scheme does C/C++ use?

'Friends' are overrated, i.e in the sense that most people use the term i.e conversation/beer buddies.

I subscribe to the minority view as put forth by this saying: 'A friend in need is a friend indeed.'
yes they also have very decent free tier which is great, but keep in mind prompts "used to improve our products". We will see if free tier will stick for long or is temporary - they removed details how big free tier is but still great for testing.

If they added seamless google oauth + key generation + account topup for end users that would be even great for BYOK apps. Mobile developers then wouldn't have to setup infra, subscription monitoring, abuse monitoring etc.

But I guess they don't want to subsidise it in the end and they target it just for developers.
> What this makes me wonder is whether hunger would also affect other "gut" decisions by biasing towards direct sensory perceptual features and away from "cognitive" features. This would be sort of like the stuff about how judges allegedly handed down harsher sentences just before lunch. But you could imagine similar stuff on other judgment tasks where bias of various kinds can exist, like "how friendly is this person" or "which of these places would you like to go to?"

Intuitively, it makes sense to me that it would. I definitely lose some impulse control and my pattern of thinking changes the hungrier I am. Someone that I know with both diabetes and anxiety has also spoken previously about how when their blood sugar levels get lower, certain aspects of their anxiety are also reduced, such as the decision paralysis or over-analyzing of choices that they are otherwise prone to.

It would be interesting to see a study of how other primal needs affect food choices and more general decision making as well, and whether it's the same mechanism as with hunger. For example, sleep deprivation.

Apple's probably in the most fascinating position they've been in since Microsoft rescued them decades ago.

- contempt of court hearing for strategically-banning developers from linking to competing payment options, after a judge banned them from doing this, should reach a ruling this month. Every game and streaming services is about to be able to avoid a 30% gross fee on all purchases it's a no-brainer for them to pay 3% on their own processing. Many of them have that ability already, they've just been illegally prohibited by Apple from telling customers it exists.

- DMA enforcement timer started ticking last month requiring numerous changes to eliminate unfair rules and policies, fine for this has conflicting reporting at the moment appears to be avoided by some accounts through corrupt intervention by Trump, and pending by others but a smaller amount due to bribing Trump to intervene.

Not really the case for user-facing applications. Proxies can time out, detecting stalls is hard, reconnection is expensive, TCP slow start means higher latency, the overhead is huge for small messages. Implementing it properly is not trivial, the WebSocket standard was created precisely to improve on those shortcomings. Good for you that it works for your case, though if all you need is to listen to a stream you might also be better served by SSE.

I was asking since Socket.io, for example, takes care of file uploads, reconnection, the whole HTTP upgrade flow, and is extremely easy to use, both on client and server. On top of that it can fall back to long-polling if WS is not available.

It's worked very well, the 1920x1080 resoultion of the glasses is pretty clear but I find "anchoring" the screen to be most usable because the edges do get a little blurry, but with the screen anchored you can just "look around" a little to bring them into focus.

The biggest drawback is the resolution. While still very sharp and clear, it's tough going from a framework laptop 2256x1504 to 1920x1080.
