Of course, gotta keep that precious human content clean for the data miners

Ironically, the novelty of a negative point value seems to be the primary driver of traffic to this post.

Seems possible, though I’m surprised there isn’t a check for negative point values. Perhaps something’s been changed on the backend recently, since it seems this hasn’t happened before.

Responding to the actual content of the post… :P

Starting a long term commitment like journaling isn’t that hard. Just write something. There are a million apps and special notebooks to make it as easy as possible. I often hear people say staring is easy, maintaining is hard. Maintaining is also easy. Journaling doesn’t get harder with time. We often just underestimate how little your future self will care or value the same things current you does. It’s true that life gets in the way or a busy period will knock you out of your new habits. But starting again is still easy. Maintaining a journaling practice for a long time isn’t really that hard, it’s just hard to keep caring.

So then why is the first mentioned and most obvious difference from other languages

LLMs are trained on code written by humans. They are most “familiar” with popular programming languages, have large datasets of examples and idioms to draw on. I don’t see the advantage of inventing a new language the machine must “learn” with syntax unlike anything it’s been trained on.

Validation and testing are also already things we do with human written code, too.

Not to play the musk’s advocate, but there is a case to be made that proving internet access in remote places is more valuable than a perfect night sky. If you live in the cities you can barely see the stars anyway, so you’re not missing much. But in an austere environment, connectivity can be the difference between life and death. It also lowers the bar, encouraging more people to visit wild places and make them more likely to support their protection in more meaningful ways.

FWIW, if you actually want to photograph a comet or anything that doesn’t move in the sky, you’d take multiple exposures that would make the moving light sources like satellites disappear. Taking HDR photographs like this has an number other benefits as well.

Feel a bit bad for Yomif Kejelcha who also broke the 2-hour mark, with this being his first competition marathon, but managed to neither break a record nor win.

Japan also has amazing car infrastructure too! Last time I was there visiting family in the mountains, I was quite impressed by the number and quality of tunnels and spiral ramps. The highways are similarly privatized, with tolls like train fares reducing the need for government subsidies.

Ran smooth on both my iPhone and my 13-year-old thinkpad x230.

Amazing that this is still up, and that so many of the links still work. Great find!

The primary trouble I have with backblaze was that this change was not clearly communicated, even if perhaps it could be justified.
