The way I think about this is if you split the money-making opportunities into two pools; one is rent-seeking/grifting/outright-scamming/beating greater-fool fallacy, the other is learning some sort of skill/trade and developing a career on that. At some point the perceived opportunity cost for the first eclipsed the latter, and now that's sort of where we're at.

Certain characters love to say things like "no one wants to work anymore." I think the rise of certain scamminess in our culture actually flies in the face of that; people will work insanely hard at whatever their thing is, be it an MLM or a crypto-grift. But they work hard because _they think that's where they can get the most value._ What's the value in going to school for 4, 6, 8, 10 years when you can make it big in the next big thing?

Which browsers have you tested this in? I ran the feature detection script from the Chrome docs and neither Safari nor Firefox seem to support fetch upload streaming: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/web-apis/fetc...

const supportsRequestStreams = (() => { let duplexAccessed = false; const hasContentType = new Request('http://localhost', { body: new ReadableStream(), method: 'POST', get duplex() { duplexAccessed = true; return 'half'; }, }).headers.has('Content-Type'); return duplexAccessed && !hasContentType; })();

Safari doesn't appear to support the duplex option (the duplex getter is never triggered), and Firefox can't even handle a stream being used as the body of a Request object, and ends up converting the body to a string, and then setting the content type header to 'text/plain'.

The only way I'd ever participate in an AI interview is attempting to jailbreak it to do something funny. You'd better bet my grandma is going to die and a basket of kittens will be eaten by a grue if the parameters of the test aren't changed to testing my ability to sing twinkle twinkle little star in a pink tutu with a salary requirement of a million dollars per second paid in Albanian Leks.

I PR'd a sqlx today. What did you do?

Look at this giant tirade you sent at me.

Telling consumers that they aren't allowed to pay for open source is like telling them only programmers are drive its creation it. All you see is mOnEy. Do you think we want to go back to a barter economy?

I have had enough of these conversations. Most of the time those opposed to money being used to produce open source have become so fixated on something some completely unrelated company did and then generalize it to everyone.

I will make you regret this attitude someday. I will break the back of this ideology that has done so much harm to open source by telling consumers they should just suck it up and stop liking Web 2.0 apps while offering them nothing, no means, no sustainable options.

I agree with the philosophy although I'll note you're not taking one thing into account. And that is how much human time is spent *reviewing* whatever special little project they assign to you. If the answer is zero, then you're exactly right.

However, speaking just for myself as an interviewer, I will generally spend a couple of hours per-candidate reviewing any work samples, etc that are asked of a candidate. If we've asked them to invest their time in such a thing, it only makes sense to respect their time by investing my own.

> Wouldn't it be better to try to regulate the necessity of needing these services out of existence?

No because these things are genuinely useful. As much as people lament that we are going cashless, it's very convenient to be able to just carry one card and it's genuinely useful to just give my email as an identifier when registering for stuff.

Regulating their necessity means forcing people to accept cash and then using this as a reason why MasterCard and Visa should be allowed exist. In practice if something is that ingrained into daily interaction, then it should have something like the common carrier rules, set the fee to a static percentage of the transaction and that's it. The current 50% profit margins rent-seeking approach is just inefficient.

I can't tell which of these you meant -

"From four months ago? That's way too short a time for any tariff impacts to show up."

vs

"From four months ago? That's ancient history, it doesn't matter."

If it's the first, the link the other person provided shows a dip in manufacturing facility investment over the last 2 quarters. Maybe there will come a future point of stability where investors can feel confident, maybe not. Trump seems willing to use tariffs as a weapon for any disagreement with other countries, not just trade imbalances. There's little guarantee any trade agreement will be honored by the administration.

If it's the second, well, that's the problem. The tariff landscape has been in constant flux over the last several months [0,1,2]. You don't build a factory overnight. You want to understand what your supply chains and costs look like and have some confidence in what they'll look like by the time the factory is ready to start producing. There remains little guarantee that the landscape won't continue to change, and Trump's weaponizing of tariffs is part of that.

It's funny how employers try to rationalize this -- take Coinbase, for example: https://www.coinbase.com/blog/how-coinbase-is-embracing-ai-i...

> While some worry AI will dehumanize the hiring process, we believe the opposite. Deploying AI will enable more quality interactions, more quickly for the candidates who are the best fit for our jobs– without unnecessary administrative tasks or distractions. We fully believe in AI’s ability to build depth and breadth in our selection process, while acknowledging that the road ahead will have its challenges. Let’s face it: the candidates who want to work at Coinbase are as enthusiastic about AI as we are. They, like us, are optimistic about the future of this (and all) technology.

> young men are choosing at an alarming rate to follow people like Andrew Tate and Charlie Kirk.

The message of Bernue Sanders gained a lot of support in 2016 and 2020 from young men. They were denounced in an Atlantic article as Bernie Btos. A New York Times article painted them as crude. Bernie was asked why his supporters were (supposedly) sexist young men on a debate. He was denounced for being interviewed by Joe Rogan.

Some young men were leaning toward the Democratic party and were denounced by the Democratic establishment and corporate press. Meanwhile Trump and his cadre encouraged such support.

Now the talk in Democratic circles is how to gain back the massive losses they've seen from young men. They've been going out of their way to alienate the support from young men they had over the past nine years. Now their polling numbers are at historic lows.

This is one of the best papers I've read in a long time. It encapsulates so many of my thoughts on the open internet of AI agents for business that I think most people are sleeping on.

We're at the dawn of a major shift in the internet and there are so many tasty problems to be solved, and so much we need to do to protect and grow this thriving ecosystem.

Honestly, this is a call to arms for us -- we're launching an open source agent framework that's specifically designed to facilitate open, interoperable, A2A compliant agents out of the box.

I know I’m the odd one out, but I really don’t find Bluey that wholesome (with the exception of two episodes - the rain one and the Bingo sleeping/space one, which I do think are fantastic). The others are very frenetic - it feels like a pure hit of sugar in television form. It also often shows a lot of bad behaviour that kids can interpret as funny (the cousin running away with the phone after being told, the old lady buying the scooter).

Peppa might be “empty” but I don’t worry that it’s inadvertently steering him in the wrong direction. The Peppa books are also far, far better than the Bluey books.

A bit unfair since the statistics are skewed by countries that don't actually apply modern safety standards, not to mention incidence of suicide, easily prevented by gates at platforms, as well as improving traffic crossings (the modern solution is just not have trains at surface level, either above or below).

I can walk into an electronics store with 300$, walk out with a drone, unbox it on the train to Heathrow, and then shut down the airport by flying the drone over the tarmac, delaying thousands of people for hours and causing millions in damages from forcing diversions and planes to circle. It's just such an incredibly fragile infrastructure and ecosystem.

> and provide everyone with everything they would ever need

It doesn't need to provide for everyone. Imagine a single Jeff Bezos type who conquers the world with the magical AI with no need for anyone else to do anything for him. With no need for someone else to do something for him, there is no need for him to sell to anyone else. This is where the "they forget people also need money to buy their goods" falls apart. There is no such need.

No sorry, I was including that example because it's something "political" that is also pretty universally accepted and uncontroversial, and as a consequence could only really upset the most upsetable. I meant it as a contrast to the other more controversial political topics that would require more consideration before putting into a children's show.

The original premise of the first comment I replied to was that PBS kids programming does not include political content, and I wanted to provide examples of two kinds of political content it included.

I don't in any way blame you for misunderstanding what I was trying to say, because I think a lot of people who read my comment did based on the negative point score (?) it ended up with. I think that we (and I include myself in this we) tend to jump past the specific content of a response, and only "hear" the tone of the response and presume intention from it. This isn't necessary an ineffective strategy online where there's a Tsunami of legitimately (from my perspective) evil positions (some of which I previously held and now am ashamed of, shout out God) and the odds are that a person (or bot or person working for an influence campaign) stating anything other than complete excited agreement is probably trying to convince people they should also hold a particular evil view.

The trouble is, this tends to kill nuanced conversation. I get it, I'd be furious if I thought the person I was replying to online was telling me they don't want me to be able to vote, but it's entirely possible that's not what they're saying.

Another example might be "How many Jewish people died in the Holocaust". If you asked me this I would answer, based on my limited knowledge "Somewhere between five and a half and six and a half million, probably closer to six.". I would do better socially if I simply said "like six million what a terrible tragedy", but my goal wouldn't be honesty it'd be social positioning. I understand that most people who don't instantly say "six million what a terrible tragedy" are doing so because they are trying to do an evil thing (Holocaust denial/revisionism), but that's not the only possible reason someone could do it.

I hope this makes sense.

> I wonder if this is the uncomfortable truth behind low birth rates in the modern world, and nobody ever really _wanted_ to raise kids so much as they just kinda had to (especially if they wanted to have sex)

I don't know how "uncomfortable" the truth is. In Islam, there's a principle that getting married (and presumably having kids) is half your religion. People were talking about social frameworks to incentivize marriage and reproduction 1,400 years ago. Maybe some people are uncomfortable with it now.

Putting religion aside, there's a biological aspect to this as well. Having children rewires your brain. People who don't have kids yet have little ability to know how they'll feel about it in advance. Talking about what people "want" a priori doesn't really make sense.

To use an analogy, I recently visited Napa and really enjoyed it. I had talked myself into the idea I wouldn't like it--too bougie, etc. But of course I liked Napa. Most people like Napa. It's literally famous for being enjoyable. I wasn't special or different, I had just developed intellectual reasons to think I'd dislike something that's more of a brain-stem level experience to begin with.

> These days though they're just like everyone else and have cut cut cut and prices have risen. The restaurant has gone to crap too

Aren't restaurants a totally local thing? They have vastly different offers eg in slovenia compared to italy (i visit both quite often), except for maybe hotdogs and cinnabuns... somehow the main ikea prices are different too.

so if i understand exactly correctly

it would not be treason for drone armies of automated bots deployed in the field because they aren’t human?

if there were the same number of people standing on street corners collecting the same data as ring doorbells and waymos in san francisco, to sell for political and military applications, where does the treason begin?

how many humans need to conspire to erode democracy for it to count to your standards?

Apple Silicon is just a marketing name for the computer variants of the ARM chips for iPhones. How much of an extra investment could it really be to make a better version of a chip with less cooling and power constraints than the same chips that power phones?

Of course they were worth marginal investment even if you just consider they now only have one architecture to support, they are better computers and margins are better since they don’t have to pay Intel.

I'm not going to read code created by an AI. The AI exists to prevent me from having to deal with the complexity of a task. The absolute most I want to read and write are type signatures. I'll set those up, let the AI go, see if it works. If it doesn't, maybe retry with a better prompt. If it still doesn't work, then I'll have to get involved. Start implementing from the top down, and once there is enough architectural structure, the AI can usually finish up.

This still happens quite a bit, and it's just like taking away a hard task from someone less experienced. The difference is there is no point in investing your time teaching or explaining anything to the AI. It can't learn in that way, and it's not a person.

Hi gus_massa, Thank you for sharing your feedback. When you press share button only the current state of the app is shared. Since this application, does not track your data or session.

So that's why this feature is not working as you expected because it is not designed for it.

You can create tasks and share it as to-do list.

Currently when you press "Finish", is it not possible to undo, I will try to include in next release.

Again thank you for taking time to add your feedback, I really value that and appreciate it.

Take Care, Have a nice day

I can type quite well. I can also troubleshoot minor IT issues. Neither is a better use of my time than seeing patients.

I’m in an unusual situation as an anesthesiologist; I don’t have a clinic to worry about, so my rate-limiting factor isn’t me, it’s the surgeon. EMR is extremely helpful for me because 90% of my preop workup is based on documentation, and EMR not only makes that easy but lets me do it while I still have the previous patient under anesthesia. I actually need to talk to 95% of patients for about 30 seconds, no more.

But my wife is primarily a thinking rather than doing doctor, and while she can type well, why in the hell do we want doctors being typists for dictation of their exams? Yes, back in the old days, doctors did it by hand, but they also wrote things like “exam normal” for a well-baby visit. You can’t get paid for that today; you have to generate a couple of paragraphs that say “exam normal”.

Incidentally, as for cloud service, if your hospital uses Epic, your patients’ info is already shared, so security is already out of your hands.

Granted, but Pix didn't have to compete against entrenched political interests.

I expect the meta-plot with FedNow is to commoditize the backend network, then allow private companies to compete on top of it (e.g. Zelle on FedNow), then after adoption as the backbone, finally roll out P2P and P2B type support that finally kills off Visa / Mastercard / Amex (as processing networks).

My experience with DevOps has been they know a lot about deploying and securing Java, or Kotlin, or Python but they know scant about node js and its tooling and often refuse to learn the ecosystem

This leads to the node js teams to have to learn DevOps anyway because the DevOps teams do a subpar job with it otherwise.

Same with doing frontend builds and such. In other languages I’ve noticed (particularly Java / Kotlin) DevOps teams maintain the build tools and configurations around it for the most part. The same has not been true for the node ecosystem, whether it’s backend or Frontend

That's somewhat outdated and Wikipedia even slightly alludes to it with "Some banks are phasing out girocards". "some" in reality is "nearly all". Girocard is practically dead and I don't see it coming back without state intervention. There's a few holdouts in stores here and there that only accept Girocard and no other cards (my vet for example), but it's on the decline there, too.

"Privacy concerns" won't hold out long against relentless pushes for more deregulation of privacy laws for AI/other tech/"the economy"/etc and removal of data access hurdles for police/security services/etc coming from certain political spectrum - whose voters generally don't have high concern for such fundamental rights issues when at the ballot box.

Why not? I regularly buy products and services online with crypto and it works quite well, usually a better experience than with a credit card.

There are plenty of chains that can confirm transactions in a couple seconds, and if you're concerned with volatility, just use USDC/USDT. There are crypto payment processors that handle all of this and allow payment across a range of chains and handle the volatility so that the merchant doesn't need to worry about anything crypto and just receives fiat.

Is there another source that says what exactly happened in that executive order? I can't find one signed on june 6th that had anything to do with payments.

[0] was from March, and demanded treasury modernization (like paperless and stuff), but didn't really say anything about crypto or FedNow. And FedNow's website mentions nothing about the program being slowed down (just announcements about new things happening in Q3 and a bunch of new signed on banks).

New vibe coding definition just dropped! "Vibe-Coding is a dialogue-based coding process between a human and an AI where the human guides and the AI implements."

Reminds me of Steve Yegge's short-lived CHOP - Chat Oriented Programming: https://sourcegraph.com/blog/chat-oriented-programming-in-ac...

I remain a Karpathy originalist: I still define vibe coding as where you don't care about the code being produced at all. The moment you start reviewing the code you're not vibe coding any more, by the definition I like.

As a Queenslander now living in the UK, seeing Bluey for the first time filled me with homesickness in a way that no other media has.

Despite the huge media industry in SEQ, it's so rare to see it actually represented as itself (rather than dressed up as Manhattan, eg). I also remember growing up and feeling that there was never really any media I could relate to; everything "Australian" is set in Sydney, Melbourne, or some non-descript outback setting. There was always a feeling of being second best - always America in the news, not Australia; always NSW or Victoria for settings, not Queensland; always Sydney or Melbourne, not Brisbane.

The first time I watched Bluey, immediately I could see not just vague Australianisms, but actual places and sights I recognised. From small details like the bus stop signs to scenes which I can pinpoint exactly in Brisbane. Combine that with stories which I don't just identify with, but which I feel I can remember viscerally.

I know the best doctor you'd ever have the privilege of being treated by. He's smart, kind, knowledgeable, experienced, and has a gift for noticing things others miss. I'd meet other doctors that knew him and they'd say he's the kind of doc they'd want treating their mothers.

He has never been great with computers (though he often reminds me that he successfully created a boot disk with virtual RAM to run Falcon 3.0 on my IIGS when I was a kid). He's not totally incapable of using modern tech, but I am his tech support and we still occasionally deal with basic stuff like how to forward in gmail or save a PDF on his phone.

I remember when his hospital switched to EMR. It was a nightmare for the first six months, but he eventually got the hang of it. Some of the other older docs requested assistants to help them but he was stubborn and prefers self reliance if he can help it and just gutted though it.

That was years ago and I far as I can tell the doctors in his circle are very used to EMR now. I hear some are even liking new AI features that listen to an appointment and automatically draft notes (that the doc obviously must review and sign off on).

My dad retired this summer after more than 40 years of 60-80 hour weeks saving and improving countless lives. He still struggles with computers, but I don't know much about medicine so it's more than a fair trade of advice for me.
