I think anything whose soles are really thin and not too hard. I'm partial to Xero, but there's a lot of possibilities. I do think all shoes, except those original Vibram Five Fingers, are not a great substitute for barefoot runni

It's a pretty good article. In that era I saw two major misconceptions around minimalism in running footwear. The first is the idea that heel-to-toe "drop" is the the main important metric -- of course, a shoe company thing.

AI is undergoing a transition from academic research to industry engineering . (But the engineers want the benefits of academic research -- going to conferences to give talks, credibility, intellectual prestige -- without paying the cost

Yeah, I agree with all this.

Forcing Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers to move to Manifest v3, i.e. deleting the ability from the browser to have good adblockers, is incredibly valuable to Google.

Of course, we should ask why the web is in a place where building a browser is so massively complex and expensive that Google and Apple are the only entities in the world who can afford to do it.

Selling might not make business sense for Google or for Chrome, but it makes a ton of sense for the American public. Google is using Chrome to benefit advertisers, data brokers, and surveillance over users. Exhibit: the manifest v2 / U

Yes, I've found Gitea very easy to self-host as well (I have two instances facing the public internet at the moment).

One takeaway of the Mozilla debacle is that software as a non-service is dying if not dead. What I mean is the concept that software could be a thing that someone just obtains , like a pencil. The things you write with a pencil belong to y

Manifest v1/v2 is already an illustration of the problem. Google will use its power to impose (de-facto) standards that hurt users and give itself more money and power.

This is far worse for me than the other possible interpretation - that you could download books but not transfer them. I buy Amazon e-books to read them on other e-readers, but now it looks like I can't.

This seems like trying to offer help predicting the future or investing in companies, which is a different kind of help from how to coexist with these models, how to use them to do useful things, what their pitfalls are, etc.

UI of email has stagnated or regressed because big companies don't benefit from improving it. They prefer to lock you into incompatible messaging platforms (Slack, Telegram, Discord, Teams, ...) where email UI could easily be adapted t

I think the analysis of (2) is too simplistic because it ignores network effects. A community of developers and users around a specific toolset (e.g. CUDA) is hard to just "buy". Imagine trying to build a better programming langua

I was not able to find anything, can you help with locating what you're talking about?

Absolutely, but here's the catch. You're designing the compression and decompression program based on the particular file. So the decompression program is really part of the data that's used to reconstruct the program. (For e

Not following what could be sinister about a GET request to a public website. > From a privacy POV, your VPN is doing nothing to them, because your IP address means very little to them from a tracking POV. I disagree. (1) Since I have ja

The article doesn’t mention a couple things. The shoes reduce mechanical stress and impact. Runners can train harder and get more aerobic stimulus with less wear and tear on their legs. Also, the last miles of a marathon are faster and easi

Are you sure they have a computer (i.e. something with a keyboard and a filesystem that it is possible to write and run programs on) at home?

Nonfiction: "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable" by Taleb has had the biggest influence on me. Fiction: I dunno but maybe "Anathem" by Neal Stephenson.

It's also impossible to give a bad answer, what are you worried about? Go for it.

For inference, I agree. For training - the much larger use of electricity - I think solar might be great.

Sorry, I should clarify that I'm not worried they actually will, just that that charging seems like the most vulnerable point in terms of relying on outside software.

Of course, this trend such as "software defined vehicles" is happening with all cars, not just EVs. The main problem points for incompatibility are places where the car interfaces with software outside of itself. As that software
