100% agree, the fixup macro is amazing. It even fails gracefully when unable to commit for whatever reason.

The split one would be handy though.

Yes, good point!

I guess what I meant was: the only way for art to meet one of the ZKP criteria is for us to assume it's art.

Nice! I like this, not a connection I would have thought of!

Therefore, if the artist did not truly experience the feelings, the piece of work they produce would not be sincere, and hence not art. This also covers malicious attempts to produce a piece of art without having experienced the feelings. As the art is a successful representation of the agreed upon feelings, and the art is a Tolstoyan piece of art, the artist must have truly experienced them.

Isn't that circular? If I "fake" a Jackson Pollock style painting without having any feeling whatsoever AND it manages to evoke feelings in the viewer, who's to say which feelings are the agreed upon ones?

I'm glad to hear it, I thought that was just me. It gets especially hairy when moving commits around...

Plus I have 3-way diffs enabled and I usually get confused by which section is which at least once a day.

Also: does anyone know if `magit` has history support?

Doesn’t mean nothing happend, just that it can be difficult to figure out what is myth and what are actual events.

Sure. Although I'd say that if you want to study history that's _all_ you can do - use different sources, corroborate, cross-check, link and, generally, try to make the different events and interpretation "fit" together. If you have no documentation for it or supporting evidence then you've got nothing to work with.

Otherwise one could just use a semi-apologetic argument: the Exodus story DID happen as outlined in OT but God hid all signs of it so it couldn't be confirmed.

Thank you!

I have a question related to aviation though not the submission itself please.

How often would you say you get to do a non-ILS landing? I often wonder how common these are outside of North America (where I hear visual approaches are apparently way more common than in Europe).

And related to that, how often do you see VOR approaches in the wild?

On one hand I love how much easier the email + OTP / passkey flow is on the dev side, I find it _very_ frustrating as a user of services. User+password combos are straightforward at least.

I was confused for a minute, I thought this was "top 30 papers by Ilya" and was then wondering why "Quantifying the Rise and Fall of Complexity in Closed Systems: The Coffee Automaton" is on the list.

In additition, even though I have read the vast majority of the papers featured on the website, I have not read through each of the website's versions end to end.

Website's versions, as in - the actual text or the "explanations"? Either way this is a big red flag.

Gosh I need to learn more about knots. I've been thinking about this recently: if I wanted to maximise utility and could only learn 5 knots, what would they be.

Or alternatively, what are the "better" alternatives to the classics everyone knows.

Reminds me of the drunk cats thing from Dwarf Fortress [0]

Nothing's worse than a_forced 4000 words where you can see the author scrambling to make it just _a little bit_ longer.

I believe there's a natural "right" length to most posts, and with experience you learn to gauge if you're over that length or not.

That makes total sense, I never meant this in a negative way! I really like your project and am following along now, good luck!

This is lovely, thanks!

I had a funny experience related to this. I was a driver in a car with middle-age mums and one of the things that came up in their conversation was a cold case being solved thanks to DNA evidence. Then the conversation quickly moved onto exactly this, i.e. how everyone should be screened at birth so we can all identify the perpetrator right away; and then this moved to how the CSAM scanning is a good thing and should be enabled worldwide and so on.

It made me feel a bit funny: I was the weirdo for being AGAINST this, and it seemed like any arguments I put forward were dead on arrival.

The abstract certainly smells like 100% LLM-generated text.

Interesting - thanks! OP's drone IS using RL and that's what jumped out at me - it felt a bit overkill for the usecase.

If I were to get a dirt cheap Chinese drone, would that be more likely to use RL or MCP? What’s the “standard”?

Nice! I might try this out on a laptop. I like toying with different ditros. I am a daily user of Omarchy on my PC. I previously bounced off Hyprland (and Wayland by extension) a few times, and the Omarchy OOTB experience made it easier to switch.

That said, I wonder if it's now okay to say that systemd won the Linux wars.

I believe the fact that Polish uses the Latin alphabet (with a small Slavic twist to express the extra sounds) meant it was much easier for Poland to align itself westward. I think the average Pole is much closer culturally to the Western neighbours than to a Ukrainian or Russian (maybe apart from cuisine).

I suggest reading the comment I was replying to since it contextualises the answer quite well. Hard to find absolutes in real life outside of thermodynamics.

I love how this sensible take is followed by a tornado of comments that boils down to "NEVER use floats JUST BECAUSE".

For a very concise treatment of this read the first two chapters of Landau & Lifshitz's Mechanics book. The actual logic behind what can and cannot go into the Lagrangian fits into ~2 pages.

It's essentially the same argument: the Lagrangian can't have a bare a) position or b) velocity vector or it would violate homogeneity or isotropy of space, respectively.

My point was that Sparta was far more dependent on slave labour for its existence than either Rome or Athens.

a slavery based society

As opposed to the Greeks, Parthians, Ptolemaic Egypt and Judea? Unless you mean "fully dependent on slave labour" - then I guess we can mention Sparta and Athens.

that progressed sciences, technology and civilization little from what they inherited from the Mesopotamian's/Greeks

What does "little" mean in this context? This is a very fuzzy concept but this doesn't sound right.

I got so used to how narrow Iosevka is that I think I'd find it challenging to find a replacement at this point. Any other typefaces that are on the narrower side?

Could it be a framework / library? Since it looks exactly like [0]

It's very interesting how _flat_ the curve (of # of drinks vs # of ingredients). I expected a HUGE bump when going from 2 to 3 to 4 ingredients; instead it only starts to go noticeably up after 7 ingredients or so.

For a fun game each time you go for a drive tally up how many Uber drivers are wearing AirPods (or the equivalent) while driving.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving Doom and have used it full time for a few years now. But over time I've started being uncomfortable with the fact that I don't fully understand the editor, don't fully appreciate the difference between what comes in as part of vanilla Emacs and as a Doom feature, and I feel like I am depending on a huge bunch of code and configuration I might not really even need.

Selfishly I wasn't willing to spend the time to master Emacs proper back then, but with the LLM craze now I find it much easier to hack on my configs.
