To drill down on your response here, is it that you’re frustrated by not having those options?

I get being frustrated if your dream is to live in a cabin in the woods. But it’s hard to fathom being frustrated if you value the relationship with your wife more than living in said cabin. What are the underlying expectations from your life that you feel shut out from? Based on your earlier post, the only expectation seems to be “not to work in a job I hate” which seems completely attainable.
Also from last year: "rather than try to build a search infrastructure from scratch, Neeva instead opted to use Bing's search API for its basic result"[0]. I thought that was a huge missed opportunity because you could build a pretty good search index of your own from scratch with $77.5M[1] in funding. But it wasn't clear if that was their plan for the long term.

Are you the same person who wants Google to remain public? Arguments like this work both ways.
How is GitHub/OpenAI ensuring this tech doesn’t throw the industry towards a flawed human/tech capability or dystopian of sorts?

Like… a bubble of developing code from yesterday’s code (plenty flawed itself) and with exponential growth based on feedback loops of self-fulfilling prophecy —— I’m assuming copilot (and every openai variant to come) will essentially retrain itself on new code developed,which overtime might all be code it wrote itself.

Did we just create a hamster wheel for the industry, or high-rise elevator?
A novel can make you addicted? Like you have to read it every day?

I played a lot with friends, but I never made friends through playing.

I was enthralled by games, but when I was finished I wasn't "richer" in any way, just shorter of time.

It is ok to waste your time if it is fun, but trying to glorify wasting your time is just trying to find an excuse.

you conveniently miss the fact that if more people were vaccinated, delta wouldn't have spread this fast and perhaps wouldn't even come to be or would die out before it could spread.
I am not sure what you'd mean by whole check-up but I had one last year at this hospital and it was included in the private health insurance for free. It does not list every item but it might give you a rough idea (yes, I had a chest x-ray and a general ultrasound check):

One last thing, probably there is a better English term for this but we have these government institutions in each neighbourhood. They are small and they employ 4-5 doctors and a couple of nurses that provide first level healthcare. (I would say there is a doctor for around 5000 to 10000 people) If you would go to your assigned doctor and ask for it, they do many of the blood tests at the same day and hand the results. This is a common procedure afaik and your doctor would be encouraging to do it every 12 months even if you don't ask for it.

Yes, we don't make too much money and pay about 25-40% income tax but we don't need to shill thousands of dollars for a facetime call with a doctor.

My suggestion would be to visit Turkey and spend those couple thousands USDs on check up and some nice vacation :)
> If they do more for the same cost, they are cheaper. You as a developer will be earning less in relation to the value you create.

Welcome to the definition of productivity increases, which is the only way an economy can increase standard of living without inflation.
Wow, that's expensive.

An average person's healthcare costs a few thousand dollars per year in EU. That includes people with innate conditions or other expensive treatments. Most of the countries have zero or only nominal out of pocket expenses.

Bug: perceptual binding, identity and meaning in a new sort of polyomino game
The reason I'd advocate in more public settings is that things ought to be secure-by-default, and that adopting security only upon realizing its necessity is a hazard-prone policy that constantly backfires.

But for a specific example of something that could go wrong: someone could inject malicious content into a non-secure page. The original content might be plain-text, but a man-in-the-middle can still inject whatever they like regardless.

As a common example of a simple attack: an attacker could man-in-the-middle people who connect to a nearby wireless network. Notes:

1. There're a bunch of ways that an attacker could get people to connect to their network. Examples: spoofing a legitimate network; setting up a password-less network; putting up a poster falsely advertising the SSID/pass to a network that falsely purports itself to be official; they're an actual employee of the establishment and just compromise the legitimate network; they're a remote-hacker who's exploited a vulnerability in the router.

2. The attacker could do lots of random stuff. Examples: they could inject malicious code; they could inject misinformation to facilitate scamming someone; they could insert ads; steal CPU-time/electricity for crypto-mining; they could just put gross porno on everyone's phone in a restaurant as a troll. Or something else. Or multiple things.

3. The original site being just plain-text doesn't really matter; the attacker can replace the entire thing without even contacting the real website. Or they can get the real website, then add other stuff to it.

The simple rule-of-thumb for website-operators is to just keep everything secure(-ish, if we're being realistic).

Martin mentions online talks explicitly as something that he found even harder, but the reference is to talks that are still done live. I wonder if pre-recorded talks would alleviate some of the stress/anxiety.

Personally I loved the opportunity I got to pre-record a talk and then allow the conference organisers to premiere it on YouTube[1]. It works incredibly well and enables speakers to answer questions live while the talk is played. I hope more conferences adopt this.

All of which are decent arguments in the abstract. Unfortunately the practical situation is that US broadband solutions outside of major urban cores are really bad (and even in the cities, we're essentially just barely at parity with the rest of the industrialized world).

The free market, objectively, has failed us. That's why these initiative exist to begin with.

Protecting the abstract market is a worthless philosophy when the effect is to impede progress.
Great video, but god those intense focus blur effects gave me a headache.
The debate in the USA is framed with the implication that if you (the health care consumer) does not have "choice" then you will be forced to only see a really terrible doctor, and get substandard care at a high price. And that, with a little effort on your own part, you will be able to select a better doctor at a affordable price.

Therefore, if you have a bad doctor or expensive care, it is your own damn fault. You just didn't try hard enough to find a good one.

It is the same thing with the debate about school vouchers vs. a standard public education for everyone. A heaping dose of "the free market fixes everything", for all life's problems.

I would rather not have a "choice". I would like to be able to select any nearby doctor, and be assured of getting competent care.

I'm not often in the situation where I have a wacky tropical disease that presents odd and incongruous symptoms, which would take a Dr. House to figure out. I am far more likely to have run-of-the-mill heart disease or a common form of cancer. I just need a doctor with some basic level of competence, who can just listen to me and help me through the common health problems of modern life.
efficacy is similar due to conservation of the receptor binding domain[RBD] of spike protien[S] the RBDab is billed as the gold standard neutralizing antibody as when it binds to RBD of the S protien, that particular S protien is no longer able to bind to its ligand [ACE2]

should we see a variant that escapes this RBD Antibody mechanism then there will be a possibility of escape, and concommitant requirement to tweak the vaccine antigen.
It’s important to recognize physical activity is very different from mental, creative or social activities. If you can convince people of things, you can be wildly successful. They may listen to you because you speak well, they may listen to you because you’re telling them what they want to hear or they may listen to you because you’re rich. None of which require the rigorous practice of a professional athlete.

Same goes for creative endeavors. I can be much more creative (and successful) if I’m well rested vs. grinding.

Contrary to you, the most successful people I know didn’t work hard at all. They either inherited cash and a network or they invented something that got huge and they sold it.
I'm sure they do have a blacklist, and for those hiy can run the infrastructure yourself if you want to view those

How do you square this with that the US trails all the more heavily regulated internet infrastructures in the rest of the world?
I disagree. The markup information makes sense on its own for structural purposes. There does not need to be any rendering engine.
And it would likely ignite the atmosphere, which would travel at the speed of sound to the "dark" side of the planet, yes?
Because it’s not the insurance that’s expensive, it’s the medical care, and rooting out the zillion reasons that’s expensive is difficult and involves attacking some sacred cows.

Plus, about a quarter of Americans have “free” care already, via Medicaid and Medicare. Many of the rest have their employer hiding the true cost from them - they think the premium that comes out of their check is the actual cost. Some employers apparently even pay 100% of the premium cost.

So all these people are okay with the status quo, or even want to defend it. It’s the people on (increasingly common) high deductible plans, people with no insurance, or people who experience a catastrophic edge case (out of network provider for example) that hate it.

I would add that as a fourth requirement to compete at the very top level along with the other three. A degree of luck is also necessary.

A fifth requirement.

None of that means hard work is NOT a requirement too - and one of the most important.

Without hard work Messi gets nowhere. But if he has the other things going for him, eventually he will get lucky by just being persistent.

Reading this thread it seems to me that AI is a threat for "boilerplate-heavy" programming like website frontends, I can't really imagine pre-singularity AI being able to replace a programmer in the general case.

Helping devs go through "boring", repetitive code faster seems like a good way to increase our productivity and make us more valuable, not less.

Sure, if AI evolves to the point where it reaches human-level coding abilities we're in trouble, but that's the case this is going to revolutionize humanity as a whole (for better or worse), not merely our little niche.
hey thanks man =) And yes, this really is how it started - with Ruslan's blog. And now, 3 years later, I've probably spent more time working on this project than I ever did on my entire education + work life combined.
One of the foundational, bedrock principles of bioethics is "informed consent". It is extremely, practically diabolically, unethical to lie to people about medical treatments prior to gaining their consent. This is literally bioethics 101.

You are saying that I am putting people, or society, at risk simply by stating the simple, 100% true fact that these vaccines are not through FDA Phase 3 trials.

The implication of this is you believe it is best if people are NOT given informed consent, that they are kept in the dark, and told lies about the status of these vaccines, because doing so will encourage more people to take them.

I'm sorry, man, but that is just awful, terrible stuff.

Coursera has a course on bioethics, you may want to inform yourself before you engage in discussions about medicine, because you are totally operating in an evil way.
Well, yet another reason never to live east of the Rockies ;-)
> Even if they offer it for "free", everyone in the area gets the benefit of it.

To play devils advocate, not everyone wants or needs internet. My grandmother has buried fiber available straight to her rural home. I'm sure it cost tens of thousands of dollars to get that buried fiber run a mile down her dead-end road. She's never owned a computer and never will. Neither do any of the Amish families in the area.

It doesn't, the 2x6 "fad" went on long enough that you can buy doors and windows sized to that standard. You can use any thickness of wall you want, but if it isn't same thickness as a 2x4 or 2x6 you will have to put forth extra effort to make your doors and windows fit. Use a standard dimension wall and you can buy those to fit.

Not a big deal for a qualified carpenter, but enough extra labor that you will pay extra for it in addition to materials.
Well I guess you could also say that formats like Markdown, Mediawiki, Asciidoc, Vimwiki and Org support images in plain text too.

Most of my friends are blue collar workers with education being around the national average (“some college”). Practically nobody can afford a place to live without large amounts of roommates as costs have gone up. Housing costs being too high are the #1 economic problem for my generation. Most have decided they will never own a home. Most don’t have much more than a small emergency fund, and many were decimated by covid. Im saying the inflation statistic is used heavily as a catchall for “cost of living” and it values the cost of toilet paper over a roof over people’s heads.

To be fair, you just 100% described a keg. It's just not common -- or is even non-existent? -- for wine to come in kegs.
-Do you have any idea how large the vials are?

My curiosity got the better of me, so I rang up my mother who's had type 1 since childhood.

She said 5x3ml vials of Lispro (or just about any brand) was approx. $40 in the pharmacy.

Once she's spent more than $275-ish in a calendar year, the insulin is free (well, tax funded) until December 31st.

This is in Norway, where the state presumably negotiates good deals with big pharma as they are basically a single customer buying goods for however many of a population of 5.5M need insulin (injected, that is)

Ultimately the moral debate is purposeless. Our health care system is designed and run by predators, and propped up by a sentiment that we're willing to pay twice as much to support a system that includes the most vulnerable and unfortunate, and the wealthy, but impoverishes or excludes the working classes.

The easiest way to find out if someone lacks health care access is to ask them if they work with their hands.

So stop coding, or put yourself out to pasture at a low intensity coding gig.

I came from a family of engineers and I watched my dad work himself to death at the expense of virtually everything else in life. One day he up and died, and that was the end of it. Most of his projects are no longer applicable or noteworthy. Life is the process of taking a daily step towards death every day. In 100 years, no one is going to remember us. Even the man rich enough to prolong their life can only make their path longer, but we all get there in the end.

Just find things you can enjoy and do them. Everything else is wasted time.
> That's also why car insurance pays you to install LoJack and homeowners insurance pays you to install fire alarms.

But this isn't true -- at least for any car insurance or homeowners insurance that I've purchased. You often receive a small discount, but the discount alone doesn't cover the cost of purchase/maintenance.
And innovation. Don't forget that.

I'm being somewhat sarcastic here, as its not clear there has been that much innovation in this space for a while. Or if there is, I welcome hearing about it.

My comment answered that "countries with public health systems" actually do "pay" for the "latest generation insulin" (i.e. the price for the "latest generation insulin" is still a tiny fraction the cost in the United States).

If you want to run a complex service consisting of multiple microservices, auto scaling and so on, nothing beats Kubernetes. But you're right, most small businesses just need a simple web site, and for them, an Amazon Lightsail VM might suffice.
Why not work a service job for a while? There's no delayed gratification in bartending or waiting tables. Show up, clock in, serve drinks, go home. It's not easy, but the success conditions are clear, and when you're done you can completely forget about it until it's time to go in again.
Tezor governance is for protocol upgrade. They vote and push them through as a soft fork. There's really nothing different there but they market it like it's something special. This has nothing to do with contract upgrades, although ethereum is at the forefront with having contracts that are upgradeable via DAO voting.
I didn't say they did or didn't have anything in particular. Normal people don't get fired, or quit to avoid getting fired, from every job they have. You have some kind of problem if you are experiencing that. It is not necessarily a "disorder," but there is clearly some mismatch between what you want for yourself and what you are able to actually do, a mismatch that is apparently not about lack of innate intelligence but something else. That is exactly the kind of thing a mental health professional is there for.

I said:

A restaurant wants to know your order. Why does this simple thing take 20-30 mins? Whom benefits? How does it enrich your experience exactly, this useless waiting and pointing at a menu?
