My dad read to me and my brother every night. When I became a teenager I read his (fairly complete) sci-fi collection for fun and we spent a ton of time discussing it together. It's surprising how similar our tastes are, I don't know if that's genetic or epigenetic but I suspect it doesn't matter and many people could have a similar experience.

I've been maintaining my own collection in the hope that I could give my own children (if I have any, which is looking increasingly less likely) the same experience.

From a game theory perspective it's very rare for it to make sense to be the first to try new medical interventions.

PCBs seem like the easiest thing to estimate this for? I'm not in front of my computer now but I'm reasonably sure either XPCB or JLCPCB's GRBL viewer already has a function for it and if they didn't it wouldn't be hard to write one.

15 (just 15, not k) is par for a corporate dev on a good team. 100-300 is what you might expect from a "10x engineer" or independent dev consistently in the flow state.

1k lines is too much to even review in a day and I would assume it's useless.

Typical disclaimers "lines != Statements != Productivity" apply. Also I'm not counting things like unit tests and documentation.

It just uses bash. I haven't been giving it an X session yet although I probably will start at some point since the newer models can handle it.

Sometimes page up/down seek the video on YouTube. That's terrible.

This is more than doable with app stores. The review process never instruments the apps or reads the source, it's trivial and common to hide malware in apps and then use modals/ads to push them on people.

Not the rate things are going. Death rates among younger Americans have been very high and it's well known the government doesn't have enough revenue to sustain this.

It's got to go. It's a shame people were lied to but the reality is we can't keep things the way they are.

I run mine as it's own user and self host the model. Unlike most services the ai service user has a login shell and home directory.

If the choices are fascism and communism I (and it looks like most other people) will always choose fascism.

Libertarianism was supposed to be a compromise but people were still allowed to be "fascist biggots" in their homes and the left couldn't handle that. That's why we're doing this now.

The native Spotify app is just a wrapper around the web app though.

I'm an extremely pro-AI person and use it heavily at home (I actually just finished the most recent rewrite of my agent software that uses MCP. It's really amazing, a lot of people say the AI bubble is popping, I think it's only just starting, people have no idea how how far this stuff can go.)

I suspect I was just laid off for not using any of the AI tools at work. Here's why I didn't.

1) They were typically very low quality. Often just more hosted chatbots (and of course they pick the cheapest hosted models) with bad RAG on a good day.

2) It wasn't clear to me that my boss wasn't able to read corespondance with chatbots the way he could with my other coworkers which creates a kind of chilling effect. I don't reflexively ask it casual questions the way I do at home.

3) Most of my blockers were administrative, not technical. Not only could AI tools not help me with that but in typical corporate fashion trying to use the few sanctioned tools actually generated more administrative work for me.

Oh well. I'm kind of over corporate employment anyway and moving onto my own thing. Just another insane misfeature of that mode of socialization at that scale.

You have misread (in a very common way for, I believe, a very common reason.)

I said it's less democratic. That's not necessarily less bad unless you believe democracy is the ultimate measure of fitness for a state.

Less than 30% of the electorate voted labour. The problem is that the opposing party consistently ran as opposition but then executed on labour's policies instead so most people just didn't vote because they didn't see anyone running to vote for.

The electorate legitimately did not want these people or their policies, they effectively weren't given a choice. To call that democracy delegtimizes democratic elections.

The people in charge are largely hated by the electorate. They won by default effectively due to a quirk of how UK elections work (which was less of a problem when the monarch/aristocracy was still involved to counter balance things like this, but now that that's gone the state is effectively out of control.)

Unless by "democracy" you mean "sleepwalking administration everyone hates" the current UK government is unusually undemocratic.

Pumping it out means you need head at the pressure p_feed and leaving it on the fresh side of the membrane lowers the pressure gradient. You're not saving energy, energy must be put into the system to be consumed by the work done in the reverse osmosis process.

Yes I heavily use bookmarks. I got back into it a few years ago when I quit going to large forums like Reddit and needed a way to remember important URLs I knew I'd want later.

I keep them in an HTML file in git along with all my dot files.

This is why the FSF is important with software and OSH needs a similar organization.

Anything that involves a large corporation. Everything they touch just gets worse and it's not like they're even effectively extracting rent. It's all just incompetent administration sucking oxygen out of everything.

It's impressive an LLM can do it at all but it's something I would have written in highschool and it's just not well thought out as far as this style of game goes.

There's were already a cheap commodity. On something like the Atari this might be interesting but in JS not so much.

I actually moved onto a yacht post COVID and was able to afford a rural cabin with starlink because of that. Judging by the used boat market that seems to have been more common than you would think.

It sounds like they're... Reinventing the wheel!

This is great! I avoided pytorch for way too long partly because the wheels were such a pain.

If it were PDFs or static HTML files you could save and handle like a book this would be great.

Anyone who's had the misfortune of graduating college in the past ten years and experiencing the detritus from Pearson students are forced to pay hundreds of dollars for knows this is actually a massive regression.

I've noticed this too. The HRL seems to lock the models into one kind of personality (which is kind of the point of course.) They behave better but the raw GPTs can be much more creative.

I think the real value in frameworks like rails and Django is that it makes it easier to collaborate. When you do it from scratch people inevitably write their own abstractions and then you can't share code so easily.

If Toyota made an EV version of my 2007 highlander I'd buy it.

Wow Apple watch in the mac form factor. It's like they want to be known for the worst OSes possible.

Right but most (competent) humans will reliably use a calculator. It's difficult to get these to reliably make lots of tool calls like that.

So are you getting a HAM licence then?

This is why I quit using eth. They were just way too comfortable with insane complexity.
