The way I process this kind of content is by skimming or ctl-Fing for the material I'm interested in reading and usually just reading the example code or the specific explanation for the content I'm after
For example this site ranks on the first page for "go 1.27 generics" and "go 1.27 uuid"[0] and if I were looking for uuid content I'd probably click on the toc for uuid and go to here [1] and look at the examples and v4 vs v7 semantics and then bounce. For this particular article the thing I'd be most interested in applying is probably REPACK [2]
REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) events;
And all of the content around their code snippet showing that is pretty prescient/semantically dense and useful. What I wouldn't do is read the whole thing front to back, or the prose at the top/bottom with the LLMisms: it's way too long and dense for that.
For comparison here are the official new postgres docs about REPACK [3]. Is it human-written and more informative? Maybe for some people, or for me if I needed to reimplement a postgres-compliant spec or something, but I'd prefer the LLM-assisted (and I say assisted because IME it's actually a decent amount of work to get LLMs to write content like this) article most of the time.
Why do people need to understand proofs? If Amazon improves package routing with new advances in graph theory, my cat doesn't need to understand it to benefit from better shipments of cat food.
Similarly, humans don't need to be involved in scientific advances to benefit. We just need an aligned AI to take over the scientific thought for us.
Ad executives in early 2010s took note of the public response to whistleblowing of the NSA PRISM program and Edward Snowden leaks.
10+ years later, this is their response. They have learned a large majority of people just don't give a shit. We are sheep. A majority of people just want "cheap" shit, no matter the cost.
This world is cooked man. Need an asteroid to wipe this planet clean, bro.
Other topics we seem to have been unable to have deep and informed discussion on, leading to sane policy :
- inequality / taxation
- demographics / aging population
- climate change mitigations
- affect of social media esp on young people
- safety of self-driving cars
- economic impacts of LLMs
- educational "" ""
- security "" ""
- surveillance of in-home devices
- data collection and sharing
- right to repair
Failing to react rationally to a rapidly emerging global pandemic a few years ago should have been a wake up call but wasnt.
If the technorati are woefully unprepared for the age of AI, which is being rapidly thrust upon us by the big money, then the wider public dont stand a chance of being informed / prepared.
I would blame whatever team of figurative rocket scientists decided that putting something with many dozens of tiny discrete electrical connectors in a flat aesthetically pleasing format on a roof, exposed to rain/snow/ice.
There's a reason why the MC4 connector for traditional PV panel wiring and similar is designed the way it is, and why other things like IP67 and IP68 rated outdoor, 600/1000/1500V rated DC power connectors are as robust as they are.
This is entirely aside from the installation and mounting and labor issues to have such a weird custom solar roof tile and mount it in a way that doesn't make the roof impossible to maintain, doesn't cause leaks, and doesn't blow away in the wind.
And then secondarily blame Tesla's acquisition of solarcity to bail out Elon's brother.
The article says that this proves that Einstein's equivalence principle (resulting in relativity) holds in this test of a falling quantum particle (where gravity results in a phase shift in the quantum state).
It doesn't show/prove how general relativity and quantum mechanics interact.
NOTE: The Dirac equation and Quantum Electro Dynamics (QED) unify quantum mechanics and special relativity (non-accelerating frames of reference).
So the remaining piece is either to extend QED/QCD to accelerating frames of reference or to quantize general relativity. That would likely predict the phase shift observed in this experiment.
Misleading title. Herdr was able to connect to remote servers before (via `herdr --remote`). A Herdr client was either local or remote, and if you wanted to have both, you would run each one in a separate terminal tab.
Todays release brings mixing a matching local and remote sessions within one client.
I'm a self-taught full-stack software developer with over 10 years of experience. My favorite programming languages are Rust and TypeScript! I've also been dabbling in Haskell lately. My favorite types of projects are systems programming, front-end development and UX/UI.
I am a quick learner and have high attention to detail. I often improve team-facing documentation and processes when I enter a role. I also care deeply about developer experience and iteration time.
I am strongest with clearly-defined requirements and constraints, but I love contributing to open-ended problems as well. I enjoy refactoring code to remove bugs and inconsistencies. I will spot any UI imperfection.
I enjoy dog-fooding and do it whenever I can. I am obsessive about solving every issue I come across. I provide detailed documentation with issue reports.
Please contact me by email with any opportunities! Open to freelance/consulting, fulltime preferred. Hourly or salary only.
I am available to interview immediately and can start immediately.
My résumé is available by email upon request, but it's best to ask with an offer to interview.
Not the poster, but I live off-grid on a boat in the UK and everything (including the laptop I'm posted on) runs off 12V DC.
I have 800W of solar panels and a 3.5kWh LFP battery bank.
I use approximately 2kWh per day in summer, 1kWh in winter, 500Wh when it's cold enough that I can turn the fridge off.
In the summer I dump any excess to an immersion water heater.
At that level the self-consumption power of an inverter, about 5-10W, is very significant so I don't use one for any full-time equipment (but it's useful for appliances, power tools and other intermittent items).
Using incredibly wasteful amounts of energy isn't necessary, people just do it.
Almost seems like it’d be easier to spend a couple weeks in Shenzhen getting cables made to your specifications rather than testing everything on the market.
In my opinion, it's not worth while giving them the benefit of the doubt and studying their “report” (narrative). They play dumb, and “OMG, we f*cked up so badly, it's simply unbelievable!” Well, it is, verbatim. And nobody should believe it, or them.
Here's an observation from my very brief 48h visit to NYC in mid-September 2000. Walking around lower Manhattan, on my way to Battery Park, I came past the WTC and saw, across an empty plaza, a queue of a few dozen people, probably to enter the building or the tourist elevator. The very fact that the queue “stood out” in the general void felt strange. So few people, on a busy and perfect picture postcard blue sky ~25°C late summer early afternoon. And all the streets down to Battery Park were empty. Zero street life. No cafés, no restaurants, no nothing. No one going for a coffee with a colleague or business partner. A total commercial and tourist wasteland.
And yet we're told there were 40 or 50,000 people working in the towers. To that I say bollocks. Rather, the number of people working in the towers must have been commensurate with the level of street life, which was zero. And from that everything can be explained easily.
Not to forget the money flow. The largest insurance case (and fraud) in human history. Made enough money to make thousands of millionaires.
Government officials intentionally giving someone lead poisoning is depriving them of life.
I'm 100% fine with "there's no Constitutional requirement for a jurisdiction to provide a water supply" - plenty of folks live on well water. If you're going to provide one, though, you're responsible for it.
My town is not required to provide internet access to its residents. If my town does decide to provide internet access to me, they can't censor it, because of the First Amendment.
I would disable javascript JIT, pdf renderer, graphical acceleration, svg...
And use chromium based browser (I preffer Brave Origin). Using firefox for "secure browsing" does not make much sense in 2026! Mozilla has different priorities! Firefox development is under financed for several years now, and Firefox has weaker security model!
> What about rocks in the surface of the water?. Some volcanic rocks can float.
This is... not something you lay plans on. Even on Earth, these rocks are formed at surface pressure, just barely float, and don't float for long (I've tried). If they form in the deep ocean, I'm guessing the pressure isn't going to let the bubbles be big enough to create bouyancy at all. Either way they would be super rare.
What do you like about the other file managers over the Finder?
Finder has column view and quicklook. If there’s something that I’m missing out on from, say, Explorer or Thunar or whatever, I’d love to hear it. Whenever I have to sort through a lot of files on Linux or Windows, I get a better experience by exporting a SMB share and sorting on a Mac.
The only file managers that I’ve used that felt competitive with the Mac are tools like Midnight Commander (or the original Norton version).
Well, I was leaving C++ for C. I found this unburdened my mind from quite a lot of distracting complexity. For this reason, I am also not really tempted by Rust.
It literally is maybe not by your metric but someone elses metric that can absolutely be a success. Sometimes getting up in the morning is a success for people I've been there I know what that's like. I'm kind of amused at the gatekeeping of what a 'success' is here. Guy said he has literally learned things that have stuck with him sounds like something he marks as a success to me, not like he was taking the course for college credit and had to demonstrate fluency lol
edit: yea the guy is now consuming media in a foreign language and has had small convos based on what he learned on duolingo. idk man smells like success
Sorry, I guess that was confusing. I still turn my head at 3 or 5 strokes to breathe. But with some routine, the breathing movements become second nature and it feels like I’m looking down most of the time.
But I do see other swimmers use a snorkel mask for a few of their sets.
