That's the thing though - the ultra wealthy already do buy that kind of proximity. They have multiple properties all over the world, accessed via private jet, helicopter, or mega yacht. They live in an entirely different reality compared to someone with a job - even someone who works in the c-suite.

They also aren't the ones doing the optimization. They have people for that. This article seems to be written by someone who is trying to bring that kind of service down the ladder to the slightly more common folk - the mega rich, not just the ultra rich.

Interesting! If someone with a math background (but not a CS background) wanted to dig deep into learning about mesh networking protocol theory - do you have any recommendations for learning resources or places to get started?

I've long imagined that a content centric mesh network approach would be a better starting point than what we've built up currently, but it seems like such a deep and mysterious subject and I have no idea where to even begin to get started.

Good to know, thanks!

One thing to consider though - while I would normally agree with you on the job description of a congressional rep, there are some moments in history where performative-protest-as-candidate can do more good than ill. I think we're in one of those times, and I'm glad she's able to use the congressional platform to put the executive branch's policies and actions on display.

Curious about the random Kat Abu comment at the end there? I know nothing about her background, but it certainly seems like she's using her campaign to actively help her local community directly and immediately. And in times like these, we could certainly use more political candidates who are willing to be tossed around by DHS.

What negatives am I unaware of?

Nim seems to be almost a pet project of a single individual. Is that just my interpretation or is it an actual representation of reality?

If it is correct, and mostly created by one person - how? Are they a genius? Is creating your own programming language from scratch something anyone can accomplish if they just go for it?

Or is it just something that shouldn't be trusted/used for commercial purposes because it's not as "legit" as a newer language like rust for example?

It's just a weird vibe - it seems like it should be so much more popular than it is.

Agreed! And for older people, and those with injuries or minor disabilities that would otherwise require them to use a car. All in all, ebikes are a huge win! And likely to be one of the highest value outcomes of the ongoing electric transition.

^^^ This aspect of the arcana one is required to keep in working memory is an issue that's glossed over far too frequently. I understand that git is a developer focused tool, but requiring a user to keep a constant mental burden in working memory completely bars non-developers from using git in any legitimate way.

I'm not a welder or a metalworker, but I do know how to weld. I use a welder a handful of times per year when I need/want to. Welding is dangerous, and achieving excellence is a difficult and long road. But I can use the same tools as a pro and still get a few pieces of metal stuck together without having to relearn and restudy the whole system each time something goes wrong.

I haven't used jj in anger yet, but I think it might at least be approaching that style of developer tool.

Interesting! I'm very intrigued by the possibility of new forms of computer interaction made by breaking down app silos and linking data across various mediums. Something that caught my eye recently is Atuin Desktop, which seems to be a jupyter notebook style thing that runs your code natively.

The benefits of this is that I can connect this data, but in a computable medium. Does your product have any similar ability to bring code workflows "inside" the Surf application?

Care to share some of those extensions? I feel like we're on the second/third wave of llm enhanced tools, and there's plenty of good stuff that got passed over from earlier waves of products/tool attempts.

I do hope you've tuned your hypocrisy radar to appropriately detect the impact and scope of the issue, rather than blindly following partisan talking points.

That's the same ballpark as running a mega yacht. So instead of cruising into the Monaco Harbour to watch an F1 race, you get to park yourself on the seafloor just outside the harbour and single handedly blockade a sovereign nation.

Out of curiosity - what is the definition of a "well run financial institution"? I could imagine plenty of well run criminal organizations that make all sorts of profit via a combination of human trafficking and protection rackets. But is there an industry recognized understanding of what the best run financial institution would be?

Could you please go in to a bit more detail on how you set that up, how you handle issues, etc? I'm a member of a makerspace, and there's been discussions about doing something similar. There's just not a consensus about how to go about it.

But it does involve a ton of commercial real estate investment, as well as a huge shakeup in the energy market. People may not lose their homes, but we'll all be paying for this one way or another.

You need to understand that the system is deliberately so opaque that doctors don't even know what your costs would be. Sure there's a sticker price, but for most medications that's so high as to be absurd. From there, it's entirely dependent on your insurance, coinsurance, pharma benefits, etc, etc.

They try, but they're not in a position to do anything about it.

... Are you saying that there's 5 competing "universal" file format projects? Each with different non-compatible approaches? Is this a laughing/crying thing, or a "lots of interesting paths to explore" thing?

Also, back on topic - is your file format encryptable via that WASM embedding?

Forgive me for not understanding the difference between columnar storage and otherwise, but why is this so cool? Is the big win that you can send around custom little vector embedding databases with a built in sandbox?

I get the "step change/foundational building block" vibe from the paper - and the project name itself implies more than a little "je ne sais quoi" - but unfortunately I only understand a few sentences per page. The pictures are pretty though, and the colour choices are tasteful yet bold. Two thumbs up from the easily swayed.

Mind elaborating on that last bit? Both about their specific culture, and your concerns?

I agree in principle with the above comment, but for some additional context - slicer software has gotten really, really good these days. Especially (sadly) if you don't need open source software.

To make a CNC machining metaphor - Slicer software is basically just your interface to the dials and knobs on the CNC settings for speeds and feeds. There's more settings, because 3d printing is more like if a CNC had a baby with a welder and an injection molding press, only it's injecting and simultaneously welding up a blob of plastic. You're balancing the toolpaths, the temps, the adhesion, and the overall speed all at the same time, all for whatever material you're using.

So it's complex, but these companies have a ton of data and experience in order to make sure their preset settings are damn good out of the box. And these days, they get it right more often than they get it wrong!

Long story short - you should probably just get a Bambu. You'll learn what you need to learn from it, while having good quality output the whole time. If you find out it's not suitable for what you're looking to do, then you can sell it used with decent resale and get the best printer for your specific application.

Luckily, this information is not hard to find for non-entitled people who don't live in a bubble:

Isn't there an attempt to do nixos in a different/"better" language?

Right? Very much a vibe of, "Your mother and I wanted to let you know that we'll be talking about our relationship soon. But we want you to know that we'll always love you."

I don't know what that means, but also was that ever a concern I should have had before?

Local environments, embedded applications, client side processing via wasm... It's a cool project! We can figure out what to do with it later.

"Either side"? The virus or humanity?

Please, name 5 more "big name" examples.

Isn't that the benefit of treesitter? I was under the impression that it's more accepting of these types of errors, at least to a degree where you can get enough info to fix it.

I've long thought there needs to be some sort of "cooperative source" license. With DAOs and whatnot, there's even the possibility of an automated global common fund for contributing and supporting. There's definitely a big opportunity to rethink things in this arena.

Looks like Louisiana is all aboard the "internal colonialism" that seems to be all the rage at the state level lately. In this case, flouting national/international renewable energy policy so the good people of Louisiana can get the long term benefit of... Having to deal with the fallout of another datacentre project?

Come on Louisiana legislature, at least make them pay for resurfacing a highway or something.

Look, I love to be pedantic as much as the next person on this site, but let's not miss the forest for the trees. State level legislature relabeling fossil fuels so they count as "green" is not the path to a better future.

Random question for framework owners - my 1st gen Framework 13 recently started screaming it's fans all day, every day, even when it's asleep.

Where's the best places to go for troubleshooting, user guides, etc? I've played with all the bios and framework settings I can find, so I'm guessing it's hardware related, if that changes the resource recommendations.
