For macos i found https://github.com/rselbach/jabber and was lately use that, but the iOS where I still need replacement.
I think I used this exact Ivanov book (but in Russian) in school and quite liked it.
Landau! my soviet physics teacher would say the same thing!
I think it is better compared to Dutch folks buying all the tulip bulbs. And the price skyrocketed.
Well, but they do.
I've been ruminating on this past two years, with life before AI most of the compute staying cheap and pretty much 90% idle , we are finally getting to the point of using all of this compute. We probably will find more algorithms to improve efficiency of all the matrix computations, and with AI bubble same thing will happen that happened with telecom bubble and all the fiber optic stuff that turned out to be drastically over provisioned. Fascinating times!
Ah you are not alone!
Link here is to gist , but on lobste.rs some one posted link to Eva's blog. And it with links to friends blogs, feel so much like old internet. I dont even know what I enjoyed more, reading technical side or discovering this dark forest.
Same for SFPL. Majorly annoying.
I used to buy almost every single one of their bundle, but at some point I got a feeling they started repeating with different bundle titles.
Anecdotal evidence, all books I bought this year were used.
I don't use an app, I use website via SFPL proxy, and it works just fine on iPad Pro (12"), but bookmarks do not work, so you need to remember where you stopped to continue after re-login.
If you are in Bay area, San Francisco Public Library (sfpl.org) gives you access to O'Reilly for free, if you have library card, while it does not improve on usability issues, at 0 cost it is phenomenal resource.
Just listened to Broken Record episode and learned Cormac McCarthy had black Ferrari. Opened HN and we talk about his personal library. Time to read No Country For Old Man I guess.
Interesting choice to use just
I find it unfair that there is no Audubon location in Audubon, NJ :p
Saved the link for more bird news.
How you like them apples, Prince!
Can't wait when emu2 incorporates techniques from apple paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.11514.pdf
We have updated article https://tech.instacart.com/zero-downtime-postgresql-cutovers...
Is it at all possible to use these photonic molecules as alternative explanation to universe mass instead of dark matter / dark energy?

It might be your social cycles, or communities you are most attached to online.
People around me read, write, go to cinema and watch movies with commentary, paint, play sports, build legos and doing all kind of interesting things.
I personally draw and paint, am learning piano, practice photography, read, write, take various classes as a hobby and probably something else that does not appear as something special. Zero interest of changing career into any of those things, as I enjoy my long, more than 20 years, career in software, and do not see any reasons to switch fields.
When I was growing up it was called being well-rounded person. My observation about some folks around who are younger than me is that there are a lot of them who are a bit more shallow and not really interested in going broad and explore things around, I can relate to it thought, as it is really hard to be dedicated in this ocean of information we have now.
On the other hand I know non-trivial number of 20-25 year olds who traveled more than me, or have more hobbies or do more than one thing well and are dedicated to learning and self-development. Although, most of them are from privileged families, by at least the fact of being California based, or in extreme cases having parents that are doing really well.
Highly recommend Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI watercolors.
or web10 :shrug:
only question I have, is the next version going to be web8 or web10?
And Obsidian! Plugin system is great and allow you to fine tune your workflow.
I remember it was a thing back when I was a kid back in soviet union. Fish sausage and fish links. Ah we also had Fish Day - every Thursday.
