Same for the 5th, Brazil. Everyone uses WhatsApp here and has been more than a decade since the last time I've ever had to use sms (never even used mms).

There was a project aiming to do this called Etoilé OS[1]. Just went to the website and realized last update was in 2014 :/

I also imagine they can work with cheaper antennas now that they have many more satellites on orbit.

Actually, you can! I always want to clone it either way, so I just do it.

I only use one, which is nvidia. It's already a nixos option, so I just set them on my configuration file.

Three options to be exact:

hardware.nvidia.modesetting.enable = true; services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ]; hardware.opengl = { enable = true; driSupport = true; driSupport32Bit = true; };

First enables nvidia modesetting, second enables the driver, and the third enables opengl, with a special flag to also enable it for 32bit stuff (like old games on steam).

Yes, to be specific it's a git clone and a command to apply the flake.

I've answered your question on another conversation, so here's my second example: I've borked my system last week doing some forbidden incantations. I've then restarted, chose a previous revision on Grub, and there I was with everything just the way it was before.

On another distro, that would be at least a day of work lost setting up stuff.

EDIT: lol I've replied on the wrong comment, at least it's the same author...

Not OP, but here's my take: I have two machines, one with NixOS, one with Mac. I use the same configuration on both. Keeping both machines in sync is a matter of two commands, adding a new machine is also a matter of two commands.

I have tried multiple orchestration options before, but they always fail in some way, ansible for example always work until I have to run something from scratch, then it fails miserably because of something that changed after the 20th time I've ran the script. On Nix, that's not even a consideration.

Isn't this a modified version of eUTXO [1]? Known initial state/datum, transactions can be simulated/commited without needing global input like the account model needs.

The tradeoff is, of course, that scripts become much harder to implement, as you can't depend on global state.

There you go!

Sounds real fun! Rust also has great support for WASM, should make the native modules easier to write.

The Rust Book is the best introduction I think. Then, Rust for Rustaceans[1] might be the best intermediate to advanced rust book I've ever seen.

Don't forget to practice and work on real projects, the concepts take a little bit to get used to, and just reading about it is not enough.

Being a CS player, I had the weirdest dejavu feeling ever when I went to Venice. The level of detail is so much better now its not even funny.

Not only that, I don't go on the docs to find the most optimized design on factorio like I have to do on code. 90% of the fun to me is to arise at those designs by myself.

Jank is fun on your factory, not so much on a company product :)

Same from my experience, keep bringing them dollars

Adding to this, those employees are, themselves, probably working for an American company instead of a local one.

Seen it way too late to edit it seems, but you are correct, I meant NetSurf.

Yes, they are. And even if the project fails (for any definition of failure), putting hundreds of people in contact with production quality core browser code is worth it.

Also, lightweight browsers have been a dying breed for a while, if ladybird ends up as a more modern alternative to surf and Dillo, I'm already satisfied.

You can keep the assets/media to IPFS and use a small server to host everything else? With proper archival, seems doable in a scalable way.

Kinda late to the party, but just a heads up: in rust, bounds checks are only available on debug builds. I'm not familiar with the internals of Nanite though, so I can't comment on how safe (or unsafe) it should be to implement.

I find this take really surprising. He has a huge reach, but you kinda need to go out of your way to watch him, and the people that do, do it exactly because of the lack of filter.

If I wanted to listen to something sanitized and approved by a legal team I would just watch CNN or Fox News.

And not only that, it was really informative. I never had heard of this kind of cancer, and the description was short and extremely on-point. Now I know it is a thing, that it has (possibly) not seen enough attention, and that it is hard (and in many cases impossible) to heal.

It's literally the kind of comment I want to see here.

Amor fati, momento mori and "this soon will also pass" are the three phrases I think about constantly. Helps keeping me grounded on good times, and hopeful on bad ones.

Think the main confusion going on here is that people do not think of tree as lists, even if they could be 100% represented as such.

That's for sure a good point. SQLite has really well defined limitations, and most if not all of those are by design. You should consider them BEFORE starting a new project with it, but it it is a fit, it's a great experience.

I wouldn't say he's "one of the good ones" or anything like that. His currency is attention and trustworthiness, and that's what brings him good deals (he owns a VC firm), and his strategy is being brutally honest, even if sometimes a little bit cynical. Everyone seems to be aware of this trade, and I think he might have mentioned it at least once.

He doesn't have any programs or paid courses, his book is free.

Kinda unrelated, but I actually had never thought about doing a "reverse open source" like this, with open development but closed source.

Having worked in strictly open products in the past, there's a lot to be gained having your issue tracker public, and letting anyone interested joining the discussion.

It's not like you are doing military stuff or anything that needs to be that secretive, and if there is something secretive, you can just use another project.

You've made some fair points, but there's an underlying assumption: that we are only going to be able to do what we are doing today. Of course, my example is not that good, but imagine things like increased spatial sensing, instant data analysis, better (supervised) sleep, bigger muscle and organ efficiency.

Are those in your opinion still more of the same?

Well, it's a spectrum to me. Glasses are already humans and machines merging together, and I feel that people in the 1500s would think the singularity had already happened to us, given how smartphones are available everywhere.

If I had to choose an event, though, I think it would be the first time that human intelligence is enhanced by AI in some way (imagine offloading numerical computations on your mind). When that happens, we will have lots of questions to answer, like: what happens when rich people are not only richer, but also fundamentally smarter and more efficient?

Nowadays, with high definition and close to no perceivable latency. Early video chat was so bad that having the video on was more distracting than helpful.
