It’s important to note the centralisation going on in e-commerce. “Side hustle” sellers are mostly not able to afford stock at the moment (too many have lost their main jobs), letting those with the capital to keep trading dominate.

Those sellers have different options as far as building storefronts go.
I tried codex last weekend.

It's not writing code as equivalent to how a human engineer write code. Codex cannot produce meaningful code beyond instructive "A does B". Even a similar thing like "A and B does C and D respectively" will likely confuse codex.

As we often know how hard it's to express oneself in human language, for codex to be near the performance of human engineer is no less difficult than inventing an AGI.

Good luck with that in 20 years
That's very much not my point. What you are describing is the square development team taking their representation of a client, an invoice, a payment event and so on, and then they guess a feature like match up invoices and develop it and write a gui and hide it somewhere and...

But we (society) should have a standard representation of a calendar event, standard access to bank accounts and so on so that all she needs to go is write five lines

That sounds pretty similar to the QMK firmware that runs on my keyboard (an Ergodox-EZ).

It's been a blast to play around with. Best part is that it travels with the keyboard rather than the OS, so I can plug into a different computer and retain the same layout without needing to install anything.

I've been slowly resetting all my OS hotkeys/shortcuts to their defaults, and customizing the position of those keys on my keyboard instead. Current layout, for reference: https://configure.zsa.io/ergodox-ez/layouts/xbzAL/latest/0

1000% agree! I sail and Windy is great for an idea of what is going to happen, but no substitute for what is actually happening on the water, i.e., the fine-tuned weather that is necessary to sail a boat. If you want to know a hurricane is coming or the potential for a "weather event," then Windy is truly your friend. Otherwise, what the OP wrote is totally necessary. For sailing, you want to look at lighthouse weather data (e.g., NOAA) and the numerous buoy systems (e.g., https://buoybay.noaa.gov/) really are your friend.

For the Japanese cards, there are Android apps that can read the last several transactions using the phone's NFC chip, so there's obviously local storage there too. Although my guess is there's redundancy with online data to ensure there's no shenanigans.

I learn by doing as well. It's the only way to learn for me really.

So I just dive in and do. Looking up stuff as I need it. There's usually a lot of crap info out there but I just need enough to get around a piece of bad docs here or unintuitive UI/commands/syntax there.

The thing is that I learn best like this when I'm not 'on the clock'. If I need to get a project done in a particular timeframe and use something new I'll fight against it. Don't want to do it. I don't know enough about it.

If you give me the time and leisure to work through it I'll get it done in the time it needs and I'll learn whatever needs to be learned to accomplish it.

I'm not deadline driven. Deadlines lock me up. I'm value driven. I know most people need a deadline to work against to not procrastinate and cram at the end. Doesn't work for me. I turned in my masters thesis weeks in advance.
What makes your arguments weak, isn't the slightly condescending tone or tonedeaf, endless rhetorics about other peoples lives and experiences. No, it's the stunning absence of facts and evidences.
I don't understand the argument for vaccinating kids against Covid. Why force unnecessary medical treatment on them when they aren't at any significant risk?
You're constraining yourself to a language for no good reason. With your logic, we'd all be writing C. Communicating with ytdl from any other language via a library or even a process call is rather trivial so just it being written in python is already a non reason.

I chose js a la electron because I needed a nice gui I could style and add user friendly interactions with minimal work to amongst several other reasons, the aim was to have a nice way to browse my archive and track what goes in, not create new work. If I just wanted videos I could easily have done this with a script, a browser extension or any of the zillion ytdl variants available. By just scaffolding a new project I had already met a lot of requirements, easily embeddable iframes, no external video player, instant search (fusejs) and the list goes on. This is also my first electron project and first time using it so go figure, heh.

Also funnily enough the first quick draft of this was in python using qt and lived in my taskbar tray which served a simple html page and ran in the background but it wasn't fun to use and required a lot more work rather than just mindlessly pulling down packages to use in a fun side project.

>But this cuts both ways — you are exposing your own biases in believing it’s obvious satire.

It doesn't cut equally both ways because there's an obvious ground truth that exonerates those who believe it's satire. I didn't claim it was obvious, and I could see why an outsider would be unsure. But the deflection of "can't blame me, Poe's Law" doesn't hold when plenty of people are able to see through the ruse.
Ode to Raspberry Pi (and Arduino)
It's often trivial to cross-compile a basic command like program, OS filesystem specifics might be a small issue but there it's generally Windows vs everything else. Building one (mostly shared) codebase for different platforms is fine; or even shipping a script that's run locally.

However the solution to this problem needs:

* To already be installed on every updated OS
* Work, mostly, the same across every OS
* Include the widgets we know from the last 20-30 years.

It's mostly that first bullet-point that's the killer. Windows needs it. OSX needs it. Neither the end user nor the application developer should have to worry about it staying updated.

I'd be happy enough if, across all the major OS today, I could use a pipe or localhost socket to talk to the browser and use it to render a webpage within a basic OS window (ZERO other browser decoration or interactions, still OS decorated). If THAT alone worked on every operating system that would be enough of a basic step for 99% of the CRUD style apps out there. Small extra bonus if a message-passing interface worked between the two.

Even so, the proportion of refunds paid because someone requested one, vs. the number of cards that were lost/destroyed in the laundry/fell through the cracks means that they could keep some fractional amount on hand for those potential payments, and transfer the rest as "found money" to an operating account.
It's so misused most of the time. The clearest, correct example of it I've seen is a sign that says "No Parking from 10PM to 5AM". This is an exception to the otherwise unstated rule that parking is allowed during all other times, therefore proving it exists.

I disagree with most of the commenters that want to apply the phrase to heuristic claims.

Spacemacs[1] is a particularly nifty solution to the emacs defaults being... special. There are other bespoke config systems out there, but it really impresses me. The maintainers take performance and, more importantly to me, interface consistency and discoverability seriously. It supports both Vi style bindings as well as the traditional Emacs ones. Combined with a distribution like Emacs Plus[2] with the --with-native-comp it's a very nice way to interact with the system.

I like the idea of de-convoluting purpose from the information-pile, and indeed there is some weight associated with the thousand-something tabs I have open across multiple computers because they're all "open loops" in some form or another. When I try to deal with it, I often feel resistance to relying on cloud-based services, since it takes a while to get everything you want into that system, and there's the "what-if" questions about service longevity and if they allow exporting complete backups of the data you put in, etc.
Certainly doing nothing about it doesn't help though. I do at least make sure my browser application data folders are part of my file-level backups.
> People are absurdly gullible and it’s really just terrible.

Have you considered how far we would have gotten as a species if we had a pervasive assumption of bad faith in our interactions with other people? Complex societies depend on assuming good faith. People who assume others are always acting in bad faith are often traumatized or suffering from other forms of mental illness. I don’t find it “ridiculous” that people believe stupid things. I believe stupid things, and I’m sure you do as well. It’s certainly bad, but I’m not quite sure how your contributions improve the situation. Mostly they seem calibrated to reduce social trust and push people towards assuming bad faith. What if you wrote about how to identify satire instead?

I can agree with you that on super, super small inference deployments, maybe you can lower monthly spend by using CPUs. But i must ask.. who is the target customer that is both spending <$100 / month and also trying to optimize this? I feel like big players will have big workloads that will be most cost-effective on GPUs.

can you explain a bit how this works?
So as long as you can imagine someone holding the view you are reading, it is no longer important to critically evaluate its veracity?

In isolation, this view might be rational. However, in aggregate, this mindset can cause a cycle of increasing extremism. A good portion of those misogynists you speak of came to their views because they have read countless fake left-wing content that they thought was real, and in response became more entrenched in their opposing views.

The cycle goes like this - a fairly sane, conservative person sees someone on a conservative subreddit post a link to the 'transparents' subreddit, and sees posts they believe are real that talk about parents giving their kids hormones against their will. A natural response is to think "Woh, those trans rights people are crazy, maybe we should push back against trans rights"... and they become a little bit more extreme in their beliefs. Multiply this by a thousand, and you have a crazy extremist on your hands.

The same thing happens on the other side, and you get more and more extremists on the left. Now the cycle becomes even more self-sustaining, because now you have legitimate crazy extremists adding fuel to the fire by making real posts that sound a lot like the satire posts. So now, the satire has to be even MORE extreme to be humorous, and the cycle deepens.

This is a really hard problem to combat. I agree with you that this Texas law is absolutely insane and dangerous. However, I don't think the solution is to stop being critical of evidence that confirms what we already believe to be true, just because we are so sure of what we believe.

There's a flip side to this that benefits amazon, though still very useful for the customer.

If I'm poking through something I maybe want but might get in person, and I find something I've already bought that fits my need again... I'm more likely to buy again than to wander over to a physical store. Especially true for things I don't buy often and then need suddenly, like casual clothing (oops, ripped it) or random felt pads for furniture (oh dear, that's going to scratch things up quick).

I'm also less likely to hem and haw about it until I just buy from a physical store. (For example, "these paper towels or those? idk, decide tomorrow" and then buy with groceries the next day.)

Besides, if you rebuy, then return, that's worse for them than if you just never rebought. Sure, they'll probably charge you a restock fee, but I'm not entirely convinced it covers the full cost to Amazon.
I think a legal basis for the lawsuit is a bit besides the point. Twitch needs to demonstrate publicly that they are doing everything possible to stop this behavior.

great points; we're constantly constrained by a certain cost-structure. Even if we aim to go beyond languages through the introduction of formalizations (mathematical, physics, etc), formal languages, axiomatic systems, theorem provers, etc, the same constraints are still there, just in more abstracted forms.

That begs the question, are consciousness and qualia constrainted by some forms of languages too? How can we go about describing these constraints? It is perhaps only when we are able to outline them that we'll discover greater truths about languages (e.g. as we conduct experiments to verify our models on consciousness).
All I’m saying is I think it’s forgivable to take something like this seriously, especially without full context. Doubling down after learning it’s a ruse, not so much. My observations on this issue are hindsight, this article is the first I learned of it.
