If this was say, an optimizing compiler, I wouldn't worry that much about their pitch.

The tool is (from what little I could glean) supposed to make discoverability better. That suggests to me that they know something about how to make things discoverable, by bubbling up important information, hinting at where you want to go. The website was pretty much NOT that. Sure, maybe it's one of those "the shoemaker has the worst shoes" things. I'm interested, but not interested enough to work hard at figuring out what the thing is even supposed to to. If I want to work hard to explore the inside of a system, I can already do that.
> how much money can we expect e.g. Google to spend verifying court orders targeting users on free plans?

You don't pay money to enter Walmart but they are required to spend as much money as it takes to ensure you don't die in a fire while giving them zero dollars. Likewise food safety standards required by law aren't a sliding scale based on income. The relevant factor isn't how much money you made off the mark its how much harm your behavior can cause to that person.

If you put yourself in possession where your failure causes them greater harm you bought yourself a potentially expensive obligation that you wouldn't have for example if you just served search engine results based on search query or ads served without knowing the persons life story and the contents of their diary since the 3rd grade.

The actual answer is however much it takes to do a reasonable job or we ought to just fine you so much per screw up that you are forced to go sell shoes instead of search engine results.

The government can and should help make this procedure reasonable as it is 99% of the problem. Such orders ought to be cryptographic signed by hardware tokens that are physically in the judges possession on a device that isn't online THEN emailed to google. This relies purely on 1970s technology and probably should have been implemented about 20 years ago if we weren't collectively complete morons.

While this is implemented just coming from judges official government emails as opposed to their personal emails or a billion idiot cops would be substantially more secure.
There was some discussion about how accident carried some implication of 'no ones fault' that that didnt quite cover all the incidents. If someone tried to run your child over intentionally, it would be somewhat annoying if the police and legal system kept referring to it as an 'accident'
I feel like all banks and other such institutions should give trainings / information at least once a year on how they will contact you in the case of e.g. fraud.

I think that any phone calls from a bank about fraud should only be a notification and them telling you to "go to the website, the Contact page, there you will find a number to call in case of fraud". Without naming a web address. And the search engines should mark bank websites and the like as protected, so neither competitors nor scammers can buy ad space when people search for a bank by name.

Looks like we accidentally blitz the "Pay as you Go" pricing on that page after adding the Enterprise tier on Wednesday. Sorry about that

Everything in the "Pro tier" has a "usage cost" and you pay only for what you use above the $25 (or you can add a $25 spend cap to avoid an unexpected bill - https://supabase.com/blog/2022/03/30/supabase-enterprise#spe...)

I'll get the team revert the change today so that the Usage pricing is listed
The singularity is not just about artificial general intelligence, but about AGI entering a positive feedback loop of intelligence amplification. I retain some skepticism that this is inevitable.

The theory seems to rest on the idea that because AGI has a perfectly observable mechanical substrate, it will be possible to analyze and understand the fundamental causes of intelligence and thus improve upon it - a relatively simple matter of a software upgrade.

This is unlike our own biological intelligence where we lack the ability to fully understand the state of the system - because of engineering limitations on observing the whole system at fine electron-microscope detail, physical limitations on observing possibly-quantum-scale behaviour, and also ethical limitations.

But!

The evidence we have from systems like GPT-3 is that even with perfect observability of the substrate, we find it extremely difficult to discern what exactly is causing the behaviour we see.

While I don’t think super-AGI is impossible, I also think it’s still plausible that an entity’s intelligence emerges at a level of abstraction so high that it cannot be analyzed by that entity.
Actually nobody is in a position to say they aren't abused frequently so that is a completely unreasonable position to take given the centuries of corrupt behavior.
It seems to be mostly grim coincidence. All the researchers were Japanese, who destroyed everything including the buildings themselves before they left. Most returned to Japan and were granted immunity by the US in exchange for access to their research, a few served short jail terms in the USSR, but none remained behind in China.

I order all the time from a restaurant with a distinctive name and menu near me. They might have their own website, but their real website is one of these outsourced menu ordering things.

Last time I went to order, I looked up their name, went to the page by that name on the known third party menu site, ordered my usual order from their usual menu, only to discover after the charge went through that a scammer had copied their name and entire menu onto a new restaurant on the same site.

Called immediately to cancel the order (why doesn't the site have that option??) and the woman on the phone feigned ignorance. A few minutes later a gruff man called me back and told me I wouldn't be getting a refund. Not sure what I said to convince him, but maybe enough threats and he decided to change his tune.

The scammers are running the asylum.
I think nope. Where do you live, the US? In some Asian and African countries, Facebook is indeed popular. They will still share everything there, and chat with each other. Maybe you can say Facebook is dying in the US when there're twitter, IG, WhatsApp. But global, I think Facebook, the app itself, is still the largest social media in thr worly and still will be for a very long time unless Meta wants to shut it down on Africa and Asia

Very real example coming up. I was one of 3 engineers with a "day one" start-up just over 2 years ago. I was dedicated to infrastructure, and have experience with hardware > OS > config management > orchestration > CICD > monitoring. I've deployed hashicorp stack and Kubernetes. I've managed in-house services like gitlab, database clusters, metrics/logs solutions, Jenkins etc. I've also managed firewalls and I'm rusty on switches etc but I've done that too.

At the start-up we ran nothing ourselves, except the gitlab runners. (Well, except for the first month where a bunch of laptops are used to prototype the app). I spent my first year writing terraform and helping design the product for low-cost scalability. So much of what we did for that whole year was in the free tier that our runway money could cover team building. 1 year in, I could deploy our entire stack from scratch into a new region in under an hour. VPC, subnets, security rules, IAM, queues, workers, Kubernetes cluster with autoscaling nodes, databases, DNS, CDN, monitoring, metrics, email (AWS SES)...

That type of fast deployability to a new region shouldn't be a late consideration after you've spent a year tinkering with in-house stuff. In fact, getting to another round of funding requires that you have that stuff ironed out. Can you support FedRAMP requirements? Yes, because that was a day one consideration. How about GDPR? Ditto. Do you have separate dev, test and prod environments which are identical apart from scale/cost? Yep!

Right now I'm working with a company that built everything in-house, from the perspective of "one single data center". It's a disaster. If you're not thinking at scale from the start, your probably not doing basic stuff like proper naming conventions, non-clashing CIDR. They're using all the right tools, but badly. Their terraform is a mess because it was obviously introduced it gradually on top of existing "snowflake" infrastructure. Their next data center was pretty much copy-paste followed by a thousand changes. And their code coverage is low - lots of stuff still manually created. (This is a known company with a decent product and lots of customers!). All of the people hired to try to make it scalable after the fact are saying things like "...it would be easier to just throw it all out and start over".

The problem with doing things badly because you think you can improve it later is that suddenly you've got customers on this thing, and you can't start over.
OP here. Thanks! Will be testing with my 6 year old later. He actually hasn't seen it yet. Yeah, I agree. I wanted something that everyone can read and where the physical size of the number on the screen gives a great idea of the size (in terms of order of magnitude). Alignment is a great idea. I'll have a think about that one.

Yeah, understanding why you do what you do is always a key step. In your example the walking/biking part can become a game of sorts, especially when you combine it with stats on Strava and involve some friends. It also crowds out potentially mindless screen time, which is good.

Hmm, the relaxation vs stimulation games angle is interesting.

(one of the authors of Spin here.)

Your intuition is mostly correct.
Before anything, I strongly suggest you read this article on server-side WebAssembly — https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/11/announcing-the-bytecode-al...

In short, when compiling to Wasm, you are building a binary that is agnostic of the operating system and CPU architecture it is going to run on, so it can be executed in lots of very different places (microcontrollers, Raspbery Pis, in the cloud).
You can also use several VERY different programming languages, and interoperate between them (write a component in Rust, import it in a new component in JavaScript, and use those two from C# — this is an example for how the component model will (hopefully soon) enable cross-langauge interop in WebAssembly).

Among other benefits, the compact binary format (which makes it easy to distribute modules), the isolation sandbox, common compilation target.

Hope this is helpful!

You can't compare throughput of two totally different programs to decide whether an individual subsystem is faster. The Go compiler is "fast" because it doesn't do much optimization, and because the language is designed to be simple to compile at the cost of worse ergonomics. Why can't it do much optimization? Partly due to their marketing pitch around fast compilers and partly because Go code runs slowly, because it's using a GC designed to minimize pause times at the cost of having lots of them.

The algorithmic tradeoffs here are really well known and there are throughput comparisons of similar programs written in similar styles that show Go falling well behind. As it should, given the choices made in its implementation, in particular the "only one GC knob" choice.
Glad you pointed it out, there was something that didn't quite add up there. Yes it freezes in europe, those pipes would get destroyed if they were on the outside.

It's probably easier to replace pipes in an older European house anyway; less insulation / less layered walls, less things embedded in concrete, sometimes even wood beam floors. I lived in a >100 year old house that was renovated at some point, newer pipes and electricity was put up against the walls, then a layer of drywall was applied everywhere to make things look tidy.
I've been scammed by a car salesman while, I thought, I was really read up on signs and paying attention.

I was buying a 2 yo Toyota car at an official Toyota salesplace. Before this, I've bought three used cars, looked at tons of videos (eg Chris fix on youtube) on how to check the car itself so I don't buy something that risks needing expensive repairs two years later. I wasn't super prepared against the salesman before though. But he wasn't looking like, and behaving like, a salesguy. He was a bit uncertain in his way to talk, and it felt like I was more sure of the buying process than he was.

I had two main concerns - I didn't want to buy a lemon ("Monday specimen") or a crashed+repaired car. The latter may mean things like bearings being slightly out of alignment and leading to wear quicker. So I voiced those two concerns and asked whether this car had ever been repaired, "No, nope.". I asked about service subscription, the guy whispered "I shouldn't say this, but it's better you get it at the other place which is closer to you" (also an official Toyota place).

Since my daughter has allergies, I asked about smoking or animals, "njet, nada, nopes".

Well, a month later the car was completely registered to me and I got access to the Toyota digital registers and surely enough, it had been smacked along the side by a truck. It also already had a service sub pre-payed on it, so that was him getting out of a 350€ service at their place. A final insult was that, as the chemical perfume smell of the cleaning agent came off, it had a foul pungent smell of wet dog.

I confirmed this with the previous owner too, she'd had a dog in the car. Had to buy a replacement air filter and clean the car internally, but at least my daughter doens't call it the "smelly car" anymore.

Pretty happy with the car, and would likely have bought it even if he was completely truthful, but having been lied to, and fallen for it, makes me pretty angry.

Feels good to share the story :). Don't forget to like and subscribe.
> Professional doesn't mean official

Why does this distinction matter here?

> it's not a shallow dismissal, it's just a dismissal due to your self professed lack of credentials on the topic

I didn't provide my own advice (in that case, you would be right). I repeated a professional advice, possibly incorrectly, and you did not provide any explanation why you think it's wrong, just dismissed it. This is by definition a shallow dismissal.
I think it is much more the latter, the missing economic incentives, than anything else.
That is only in the Windows driver (which I don't think is FOSS) and just one checkbox to disable/uncheck on install.

Also (probably going to get crucified for this), what is the big deal? It is not like it is sharing any sensitive or personally identifiable information and it asks when you install the driver whether you are okay with that. So it also was never hidden, people just don't read.
I would also prefer an unchecked instead of checked box by default, but this seems to be blown way out of proportion.
OP here. Awwww, I love how much great positive feedback this is getting. I literally have tears in my eyes.
I think we are very far off achieving it as well. But I do feel goalposts were moved and continuing that might be a way we will achieve it without noticing; like alien intelligence, we might create something we don’t recognise as general while it already is. But not soon either way I would think. Like aliens, I hope within my lifetime but I would put both at close to 0.

I promise sincerely that this is the kind of naivity that I was referring to.

A single cell site has something like 36 "TRXs" (this is independent of 3/4g), but with 4G due to the fact there is better collision avoidance and a lot of work on the trailing and leading edges inferring meaning: you can have 36 calls without increased latency.

You will notice this.

OP here. It all came out right in the end! The server was bought to it's knees. Sysadmin thought I (as a very new customer) was up to something bad (my email address is james@rootdev.com and he feared I was a bad actor) and froze my account. The webserver didn't know what to serve and decided the best bet was to serve the first thing (alphabetically) that it could find (some insurance company beginning with the letter A). Now on a different server. And got to meet my lovely sysadmin who put everything right straight away (who wasn't even pissed off at me). What a day.
You're using "down the street" to mean, "On the other side of a massive city." It's like calling the Bronx "down the street" from JFK International Airport.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology is on the other side of Wuhan from the market where the early cases were clustered. That market sold wild animals that are known to be susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, and the virus was even found on the exact stalls where those animals were sold.

On the other hand, it's public knowledge which viruses the WIV has been working with (this was known even before the pandemic), and those viruses are not the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2. They're not even the closest known relatives - those were found by a French team in Laos.
Chinese government will coverup even if China's lab is not the virus origin. Because their goal is to have a better image of the party.

To say it in other words, politicians will bullshit the populace in any case, they do not care if what they're saying is true or false as long as it makes them look better
It's part of the culture of frontend programming.

In the past I've needed to display a timestamp as something like "n weeks ago" (in a mac app). My first instinct was to write a quick function to do the transform. Then I can tweak it and extend it later to fit my app's needs.

However when I asked the web app team at my company to see their code so I could use the same initial set of intervals, it turns out they use a library to do it. The first instinct of a frontend dev seems to be - even for very tiny, single function solutions - download a library.
Webkit is still C++, and with its market share slowly reaching zero (now at about 3%), the 10% of Rust code in Gecko hardly matter.
