Queryable, word level, extractive summarization with grammatical correctness. AKA: what a human does when they are "highlighting" a document.

think extractive QA but the answer size should be configurable and the answer can potentially be multiple spans, and spans may not need to be contiguous.

If you got a solution, I'd love to see it - and you could even beat the baselines for the only dataset that exists for it: https://paperswithcode.com/sota/extractive-document-summariz...

As others have answered in this very thoughtful thread, it's a most
deep and puzzling question. As is the distinctions between ideas,
intentions, and actions - the basis of much jurisprudence - which is
examined here too.

However there is the truly horrifying idea in Henrik Ibsen's Peer
Gynt, which once you comprehend it is so dark that even those who call
themselves 'nihilists' recoil from it. And yet maybe we should
celebrate it because it's Kierkegaard through and through - that we
have 'no essential self'. If we are possessed by a soul it is as an
observer, a witness to a perfect drama involving other mind-bodies,
each equally devoid of a central "self". That can be a relief. But as
was discussed here recently with regard to mindfulness and Buddhism,
that "idea" can itself be dangerous, for some it's a license to be a
dick. Perhaps nature/evolution is clever in giving us all a little
anxious piece, a "self" that can be hurt, since that allows social
structures.
I’m assuming I’ve misunderstood your question, because all TUI libraries allow multi-line output, by definition? They take over the whole space; you can draw whatever you want on any section of the screen. Though the logic for drawing it nicely for your usecase might require a custom widget… it looks like the difference between fig’s autocomplete example[0] and prompt_toolkit’s example[1] is less multi-line output and more of “the box has multiple sections, drawn differently”.

I'm wondering why SEO listicle books are not as big of a problem, and how to replicate that.

I guess there is no Google for books, and no ads/affiliate links. And there are libraries where books are manually curated using the Dewey hierarchy.
Hey @tablespoon, I'm one of the cofounders of Lago here.

Products like SAP do seem complex because of (i) the complexity of the billing problem and all the edge cases, (ii) they were not built with an API-first or engineer-first mindset

We're only at the beginning of the journey, but that's one of the reasons why we thought of open-sourcing our billing API, so that the work could be forked and tweaked to address edge cases if needed (no need to wait for SAP to update the product: and they will never prioritize small edge cases).
Also, it seemed to be no middle ground between 'Stripe Billing' (it's great for B2C Subscriptions) and billing systems that could address the millions of nuances of pricing between 'subscription' and 'usage-based' (most companies are a mix of both).
Wait. Does slack show idleness? Maybe it’s disabled in my org. Never seen it on any of my colleagues. We are either green or gray
This sounds like trouble at several levels.

Someone's going to reverse engineer your heuristic and min-max it. At that point, you'll need to defend your heuristic against edge cases. And then you may as well just make it official.

Also, B2B customers are allergic to "pay what you feel"-type schemes.

What I mean is that quotes still improve looking up specific strings, but yeah, not as good as they once were and getting progressively worse.
Doubt that this is a real concern. Most jobs are still not fully-remote or global and so this is really just a small sub-set of jobs like the ones in Fiverr or Freelancer which are small jobs that can be done by freelancers anywhere.

Most companies are still going to hire locally and so better to focus on just getting one of those local jobs.
I actually agree with this. There are a bunch of low-cost ways to prototype and collect user feedback. The paper notebook idea could have started with surveying people and finding if anyone actually existed who say it would be useful and they would pay for it. Or even just launch a one-page product site with an email sign-up list to get notified when the alpha version releases and wait until it reached some critical mass. All of this would have taken less investment than actually building it first lol.
This title bothers me because he’s clearly going after the wrong target. It’s not that Google is unbearable. It’s that people with money are more likely to invest on ranking high in Google than those who don’t have money.

This would be the case with any commercial service with financial goals, given enough time and the right motivations.

If commercial content is your problem, say it. Leave Google out of it.

I work on a team collecting fees at a financial company. It is tedious and boring. There is a lot of complexity. I've often asked the business if they had ever thought about a different fee model that would be less complex. They just want to stick the legacy business model into the new tech...
It also means that ESG becomes a metric to be gamed with plenty of energy industry companies on the index through clever financial engineering.
Well not only QA not only niche languages.

If you get semi-technical there are loads of product owner/business analysts roles to fill in.

Let alone if you just want any job there is first line support / second line support.

There are plenty configuration roles which don't require knowledge of coding but ability to learn configuration settings, operating browser, operating software on different angle than just using it - but being able to congfigure it for others to use.
I understand and somehow agree with your point, however, it would also be nice for someone to have the ability to build something performant with a language like Python. But this is not really possible today, so the narrative that Python is for prototyping will keep holding.
Meta ran into signs of trouble months ago, when the report in February announced they were shedding users for the first time. They’re ahead of the curve. Netflix use has also dropped, and the stock price has followed. Coinbase is experiencing a crypto crash.

Not that any of that are disconnected from larger economic trends, but they’re also unique to each business’s segment.

I had just superficial experience with each of these tools, which I think is more adequate to answer your question since VB and Delphi are very productive for people who have little experience.

QT and Qt Creator is more evolved than both (I don't know recent Delphi versions, but still think so). In Delphi (not sure about VB) you can do Text1.Caption := "Hello World". In QT Creator (last time I tried), you have to create some code to connect the signals to slots and still call a method to achieve the same thing. It was a bit more work but, easy, clear intuitive, well documented and has advantages when implementing more advanced features in a more generic way. I'd choose QT over both others today even for beginners and even disregarding licenses.
A Messiah Won’t Save Us
Global gitignore should in general only be used for things that's "unique" in your local environment, like:

* IDE/Editor (for example, add `.vscode` to your global gitignore if you use VSCode, add `.idea` if you use IntelliJ family, NOT add `.editorconfig` because that's intended to be cross environment)

* OS level spam (`.DS_Store`, etc.)

* Any file generated by a tool you use locally

Also a pro tip, I have this alias in my global git config:

why-ignore = check-ignore -v --no-index

So I can use `git why-ignore path/to/file` to show why a file is ignored (e.g. it shows which line in which gitignore file excluded it).

The Air Conditioning Paradox
For me, part of it is a simple fondness for understanding things and a separate but closely related joy in making things that "go", things that act "on their own" as it were. I always kind of assumed it was an innate propensity, a kind of natural monkey curiosity. I was always taking things apart as a little kid. They say I disassembled the clothes dryer one time, but I don't remember it.

I like it when something goes from being mysterious magic to a familiar tool. (Like compilers.) And it's even more fun when you can use your tools and knowledge to create some new useful or beautiful (or both) thing with them.
It's funny.

When it comes to personal development, side projects, etc. I have had times when I was very interested in setting specific goals and other times when I really didn't want to.
The standard 6 months of emergency fund, updated resume and just go about your life as normal. If you are a software developer, you'll be fine.

Unpopular opinion but the answer should be self-evident and has little to do with technical merit: cheap and just barely good enough beats expensive and better every time. And Linux is free as in beer. It's not unlike reports of how generous food donations to poor countries bankrupted local farmers; it's impossible for a wannabe new OS vendor to afford to pay its engineers long enough for their OS to gain traction over the incumbents, particularly when one of them is free.

The only two options I see are either one of the FAANGs spend the billions necessary on the long, hard slog to push a next generation OS until it takes off or another person of Linus Torvalds' stature pops up out of nowhere again to build an OS so amazingly good that it takes off on its own like Linux did. Both scenarios seem improbable.
Another time I turned my private news aggregator into a public service (Popurls) which kicked off thousands of clones and was at one time the number one traffic referrer to Digg and Reddit. A year later Guy Kawasaki cloned it, and I find myself invited to a Ramen lunch with Kevin Kelly who blogged about it as being his favorite website. 15 years later, I got funding from Mark Cuban for building a successor. All from a private solo side project that started as a 20-line Perl script.

The only response I can offer to this is that I can browse the web, read email, and edit text with it. That's probably 85% of my computer usage right there. My MacBook Air doesn't have a touchbar, I can generally get by without video or games so CPU vs. GPU rendering and sound aren't critical, and I haven't needed to use a webcam (on that machine, that is) for months. Yes, USB is slow and battery life is shorter. But I use the Mac side most of the time anyway. Asahi is a fun experiment for me.

> There's another, similar, story around creating draft invoices to give people quotes before checking out. The dashboard API has a function to modify the line items of a draft invoice, but it's not a public-facing API and there's no short-term intention to make it public-facing, so one has to build an ugly workaround.

There is a similar "not a public-facing API" limitation with configuring multiple invoice email addresses for Stripe customers (works in the dashboard, but blocked in the public API, where you can only set a single email per customer).

I'm actually quite surprised Stripe does this, since their initial reason for being was developer-friendly payments. But oh well, maybe I should take a look at an alternative (like Lago) sometime.
Serverless systems in almost every implementation are still stateless or limited stateful-serverless (the best examples are probably Microsoft's Durable Functions or Flink's Stateful Functions - there's also solid attempts by the Akka folks).

These are largely built on top of either a stream processing (in case of Flink) or some flavor of Actor model based on event sourcing for peristence.

What I'm getting at is that you'd build a serverless system on top of Elixir/Erlang/OTP and be served well by its mature actor model implementation and excellent distribution options. See https://eigr.io/ .

The cloud provided options are interesting for some experimental / tactical use cases but I don't yet trust their abstractions to not be leaky and they typically come with vendor lock-in trade offs.
I would imagine that "adding value to the user" translates to "adding value to the business" in a lot of ways for Google.

If, on average, users perceive more value from Google, they use Google more, and Google earns more ad rev. Even if this lowers value substantially for the "relative few".

It's basic utilitarianism, and it sucks to be in the "relative few"...

I too, wish that quotes were respected, and Google would stop giving results for what it thinks I meant to search for like it knows what I meant better than I do - even if that is the case...sometimes.

This is an unfalsifiable claim without citing when Musk made the purported transgression.

I'm ok with fuzzy searches, but there should be a switch for verbatim.
Of course normal usage doesn't matter. But do you have a legal definition of the word "platform"? If you don't have a legal definition, you're just spewing words.

There is a legal distinction between a "computer system" that includes any normal usage of platform and a publisher. That's what the actual law says. Section 230 is surprisingly legible if you haven't read it yet.

Do you remember 1996? There were a lot of systems then that would absolutely qualify as social media today, even if the term wasn't used then. Those things are what section 230 addresses.

You seem to be making some sort of pedantic strawman argument and I can't tell what you're really trying to convey. Instead of phrasing it as a negative, is there something you're trying to positively affirm?

If by "just fine" you mean, "with incredible engineering resources funded by a small number of large companies with deep pockets and with some performance cost to check that the optimization is still valid", yes.
There are a variety of stronger axiomatic systems (typically ZFC + some other axioms). Some of them prove the continuum hypothesis (which is what I stated), others prove the negation. There's no way to decide which one is "right", though, just like there's no way to tell if the Axiom of Choice is "right".

Your second paragraph is confused. Given an axiom system like ZFC, there are (a) statements that can be proved true or false using it, (b) statements that can't be proved that are true in a particular model, (c) statements that can't be proved that are false in that model. It's set (b) that the incompleteness theorem tells us must exist. The theorem doesn't "find" statements, it proves that (b) exists by constructing a particular one, which is necessarily meta because it applies to every formal system.

However, we do not have access to a model which tells us the answers for things like the CH. So all you can do is decide on the axiom scheme you like, and then some things are provable. You can always add more axioms, like CH, but you can add their negation instead, if you want. So there's no sense in which there's really a right answer for CH but we haven't found it yet.
> We don't need the very best of everything.

I think it's very human, when presented with an array of options, to desire the best. Just imagine you are presented with N options for a vacuum cleaner. Would you really just pick randomly? 10 years ago (or maybe more like 20 years ago), there was not nearly as much choice. You couldn't find hundreds of different iterations on the same item. Now that you can, many people spend a lot of time agonizing over the options. I agree that points 2 and 3 don't logically follow from desiring the best though.
IMO tiny ideas like this are mostly for fun and learning, they don't need to be unique. Build another take on a blog or a game or utility or whatever you like to do online, but put your own spin on it.
Yeah - and simply creating an invoice is creating taxable income in EU - if customer drags their feet you still owe VAT to the taxman.

If you want to change invoice you have to make a special "correction invoice" because changing "real invoice" is a criminal offense - fun things :)
One design decision that, for me, seems to simplify things is to consider the "business system" a type of state machine that records all business events and serves as a "source of truth". If the events are not recorded, they have not occurred from the business perspective. A ledger-type architecture can be useful.

This means that business events or user operations generate state transitions, which eventually are implemented as database transactions. The event log can be stored and inspected.

The end user terms are encoded in the state-transitions. Contract obligations are encoded in the state of the database.

As for calendar issues - operations need to be performed over "real calendars". It might be practical to "materialize" the business calendar into discrete units for this purpose.
