RS-232

I highly recommend starting with John. John 3 and John 14 are some of my favorites.

If you like the 7-row ThinkPad keyboard, the Tex Shinobi is awesome.

It even comes with an OEM red trackpoint nipple but I swapped mine out for a blue one.

While personal privacy may be preserved outside the scope of public acts, an individual who, in the execution of official duties, operates vehicles displaying lights or sirens and wears official identification inherently waives any claim to geospatial privacy.

Don’t give ICE any ideas!

I disagree. There should be no expectation of privacy for any public officer. Things like this website, body cameras, and FOIA requests are all for the public good. Expose corruption and keep everyone safer with a little accountability.

We need something like tracking cookies for model inputs and outputs.

Creators should be able to trace and quantify exactly what data of theirs was fed into the grift machine and be reimbursed directly by the grift machine custodian each time their data is used to generate new output.

A middleman who collects a giant chunk of creator royalties, for data that will be used perpetually by the grift machine... that sounds like a bad deal.

Technically a Merkle DAG

Both consciousness and experience arise from physical means. However, they are very distinct concepts and not mutually exclusive, which can lead to confusion when they are conflated.

Sensory deprived, paralyzed, or comatose individuals can be conscious but have no means to experience the outside world, and depending on their level of brain activity, they might not even have an "inner world" or mind's eye experience.

Anything that is able to be measured is able to experience. A subject like an apple "experiences" gravity when it falls from a tree. Things that do not interact with the physical world lack experience, and the closest things to those are WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles). Truly non-interacting particles (NIP) are presumed to be immeasurable.

So there you have it. The conundrum that consciousness can lack experience and unconsciousness can have experience. A more interesting question in my opinion: what is a soul?

You would reach for one or the other depending on what you’re trying to do. They excel at different things.

C: language interop/FFI

C++: systems programming

But if you HAD to pick one, it has to be C for ubiquity.

Would you ever consider bundling ruff binaries with uv releases similar to uvx and uvw? It would benefit offline users and keep compatible uv/ruff versions in sync.

Perhaps even better… cargo-like commands such as uv check, uv doc, and uv test could subsume ruff, ty, and other tools that we haven’t seen yet ;)

A pyup command that installs python-build-standalone, uv, python docs, etc. would be totally clutch, as would standalone installers [0] that bundle it all together.

Is ty more mature than pyright or mypy?

I'm currently using pyright, but I'm going to migrate once ty and its vscode extension are given the "production ready" greenlight.

So we’re back to PDF?

UUID > GUID.

Microsoft’s GUID standard is garbage.

Pythonista is awesome. Although it hasn’t been updated in 2 years and only supports 3.10, it’s still a beautiful and capable Python IDE.

Now that iOS and Android are Tier 3 platforms, we should be getting closer to the day that we can generate an IPA or APK from our Python project in a single click.

No shot. LLMs are simple text predictors and they are too stupid to get us to real AGI.

To achieve AGI, we will need to be capable of high fidelity whole brain simulations that model the brain's entire physical, chemical, and biological behavior. We won't have that kind of computational power until quantum computers are mature.

So this is like FireChat, right? Seems to be from the maker of Twitter, Jack Dorsey.

The article doesn’t mention whether this was related to the SharePoint vulnerability.

Maybe it’s using Wake-on-LAN where the network interface is alive while the rest of the system is dormant? Perhaps the music stream is encoded in magic packets?

Memory is intelligence

I don’t see the utility here. You’re still duplicating code inside the template function with context managers.

The decorator would be a lot more useful if it abstracted all that away automagically. I/O bound stuff could be async and everything else would be normal.

woke = anti-traditional

Or maybe that’s what they want you to think.

This is a hobby project funded by donations that is likely teeming with zero days and backdoors known by state actors.

A far cry from the company who pours millions into their OS and even refused to help the feds decrypt a terrorist’s phone.

Honeypot much?

Loophole to the Tennessee law: a disclaimer at the top of the site that the following is for scientific and educational purposes only. Problem solved.

“When taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.”

> ban ban

I've had similarly good experiences with AdGuard and Wipr and prefer the latter for the UX.

Thanks for sharing your story. I too frequently think back on "what could have been." Back in 2013, I bought and sold a bitcoin, and every time I see a crypto headline I remember my mistake of spending it.

Maybe we should not be so hard on ourselves. Afterall, we still have a heartbeat. Did we truly make a mistake, or did we narrowly avoid getting consumed by avarice?

I really wish Apple revived Safari for Windows.

In my opinion, it's the only browser that nicely balances performance, privacy, and security.

No SQLite?

To add... weightlifting isn't a substance and doesn't fit the definition of a nootropic.

Also, regarding weightlifting... there was no mention about the risk of continuous muscle trauma, scar tissue build-up, nerve damage, and ligament damage.
