I am required to work with a current iphone for work reasons and I just made it a habit to never use it for content consumption because of that major flaw.

> Aren't automatic market makers with yield farming a thing outside crypto

Are they the main thing, or the only thing, outside of crypto? Is there much more to the market than that, outside of crypto?
So you wear a helmet as a pedestrian then? You are so unprotected!
I have personally found that as someone who eats a lot of vegetables that online shopping is not tenable for produce selection, your mileage might vary.

sometimes I do something really ridiculous which is get a pickup order for my non-produce items and then go into the store just to buy the produce.

Localstack – Local AWS Emulator (Console Interview)
I'm not sure I agree. I have a family member that had a car turn in front of the without warning (they were in a cycle lane, the car turned across the flow of traffic without looking or indicating), and they hit the side of the car and landed on the other side head first. They were left without any significant injuries - I'm not sure the outcome would have been as favourable without a helmet.
Storing graphs in the database: SQL meets social network (2009)
I once organized a workshop on reasoning about uncertainty and in it a woman attended who was in charge of cycling safety for a large government organization of some EU country. She confirmed that, statistically speaking, cycling without a helmet is safer than with but mentioned this as a good example of likely confounding factors and a case where you cannot take the statistics itself for policy making.

But besides that, even if the average nation-wide number of accidents can be taken as a basis for nation-wide policy making because confounders can be ignored (a huge assumption), you can still not use this data reliably for individual decision making or policy making for smaller groups without further analysis. You need to account the variance, where the confounders occur, and what these confounding factors are. For example, regarding individual decision making, it could be the case that certain people who cycle with helmets on the average cycle more recklessly, but you cycle even more carefully with a helmet and are better protected. If so, you cannot take the average to inform your cycling. The same holds for other groups, such as professional cyclists for a company like in this article.

To give another example, consider accident statistics of self-driving cars versus human drivers nationwide. The human driver statistics include each and every reckless and drunk driver in the country, including many people with whom you'd never share a car ride. At the same time, you might have been driving accident-free for more than 40 years. For you personally, or a specific group you belong to, self-driving cars could thus be way more dangerous than driving yourself.
Funny you mention SvelteKit - my former blog version was written with Svelte/SvelteKit (using the static adapter).

I wrote a bit about why I went away from this, but in a nutshell: I am not using "modern" deploying techniques, and upping the compiled blob each time I write a new post felt like a huge drag to me. This is a general problem pretty much baked into SSG's, but I have hope that someone will adress this problem in near future.

Some of the comments in that thread must come from people who are lucky enough to have never had to read or refactor any large, convoluted methods. Knowing that this particular bool flag isn’t being flipped thrice, 100 lines down, is a godsend.
The exception that proves the rule.

I reject the concept of 'punching down' in comedy. Either a joke is funny or it isn't. Nothing else matters.
I’m starting to appreciate this more as I age. Quite by accident - I purchased a new-ish (2004) house made by an incredible builder (T. W. Lewis). Compared to friends living in houses built around the same time, maintenance on this property is lower. Things are just “built better.”

My in laws just built a new home with an average builder. I got to watch the house go up - know what’s in the walls, etc. Their house is higher quality than mine. New construction seems to be better than buying old homes on average, and prices reflect that - new costs more and you get less.

This lead me to a somewhat startling revelation: houses do not appreciate in value. The house looses value but is offset by the dollar losing buying power in the housing market.
Bridgeton is simply enjoyable and a bit silly, lots of heart. Its a bit of a new formula though. I know many who stiff it for being "historically inaccurate". The period is merely the setting for a story in my view. If it's your preference to get more of a dose of history and accuracy, thats your thing, not a requirement. Think kids of different backgrounds playing make-believe, can they not pretend to impersonate someone they admire, of another race? That aside there are some shows we watched a few episodes of that were dripping with what its creators think must resonate, but it comes of cheap and without conviction. Just woke throwaways.
I made it "honestly" until photo 18 (where I got a score of 17/18), then I realized that all photos were auto-generated and spammed the "robot" button. Apparently there was a single human-generated picture in my set.

> The composition that DALL-E 2 creates is typically fantastic, but it isn't perfect when it comes to the edges, details, and textures (fabric, for example).

For me the trick for discerning them is asking "what's the purpose of this detail?", namely: if a figure is writing, what are they writing? If a figure is wearing a shirt, does it look like a shirt I've ever seen? Why are they standing the way they are standing? And what material is this statue made of?

> Do you wear a helmet when you drive inside your car? If not, why not? It might make you much safer in case of a crash, according to your reasoning.

Would it? I've never heard anyone recommend this, but if this did actually reduce the likelihood of a serious head injury in the event of a car crash, then I would seriously consider wearing a helmet while I drive a car. I have no problem wearing one while I ride a bicycle or motorbike.
We shop weekly (taking about an hour from leaving the house to returning, less when we frequently manage to attach it to a trip where we’re already out).

Working from home, there’s obviously no grocery store for me to pass by on my commute, so daily shopping would be 30 minutes a day (45 if I walked it) instead of 60 minutes once a week. That’s about the same as adding back my entire pre-COVID commute time. I’ll stick to weekly and spend the extra 2 hours per week doing something else.
They already added that to stories
They argue that helmets are bad because they encourage riskier behavior, but also that they are unique in being able to track the behavior of their bikers. Shouldn't they be able to allow helmets and fire the people who behave in a riskier way due to wearing them?
> Note, I doubt that this is actually true, but I wanted to highlight your moral apriori claims as ridiculous.

You failed to do that:

You didn’t address the agency problem where the 15 chose to engage in risky behavior while that 1 was coerced into dying — and ignoring the role of agency in the Trolley Problem is amateur hour. The helmets didn’t kill anyone, their following choices while wearing helmets did; which is in contrast to mandating no helmet, that is directly responsible for a death.

What you did was make a ridiculous argument that ignored the crux of the issue and pretend that the other person was wrong.
If we're going by strict definitions then we already have 'artificial general intelligence (AGI) that reaches (or exceeds) human-level cognition', most people are complete morons and computers can already out-think them.
> there is no world in which shopping at the grocer every day is more convenient than shopping once every 1.5 or even 2 weeks or so

I was with you until this rather extreme statement.

It depends a lot on what "convenient" means. If you want fresh produce and meat and don't have the huge fridges that seem to exist in most American households, it's a lot more convenient to shop for fresh, newly arrived stuff at a small neighborhood grocer's every 2-3 days.

It's also a form of social contact, another thing which isn't really included in "convenience", but maybe should be; given how many people are talking about mental health problems caused by lack of social contact these days.
I partly agree, but I wish The Verge had been clearer that the huge kit was optional and the other parts could be bought separately.

And... I don't know, PR move or not, isn't it awesome that regular consumers can rent access to the full kit? I'm not sure who I'd recommend it to, but I'm sure someone is super excited, and good for them!

If I'd written the article at The Verge, I would have ended with something along the lines of:

> For most people, renting Apple's Tool Kit isn't worth the cost or hassle. If you don't have experience repairing electronics, the Apple Store is a safer and easier alternative, and if you do, you probably have your own tools already. It's great to see Apple selling genuine replacement parts to consumers. Just, don't throw out that iFixIt toolkit quite yet!
Don't engage in outrage inflation. The original point was about a 17-year old, and if you've got to condemn that from 80 years ago, you have to condemn pretty much everyone who lived during the middle ages because by that age most couples were already working on their second child.
I find the lack of user consent in this disturbing (unless there's a choice?)
I do think people being reluctant to plan their meals is a large part of why this is less common (also most people don't seem to cook as much as I do so it might not add up as much).

but stated otherwise, you are saying that my getting a big order saves me 2 hours every time I do it. 10 minutes is also almost certainly an underestimate, assuming you live a 5 minute walk from the grocery store.
> I suppose one could argue that healthcare providers should assume this liability and give you a price upfront, factoring into it the risk of complications, etc. But in the end, if you don't pay for your own bad luck

It's not your bad luck, it's their proffeshional responsebility to providing accurate diagnostics and figure out what treatment you need a nd how much it will cost. Every proffeshion has to deal with this, from lawyers to builders, and they provide estimates or even fixed fee services. If they really have no clue they provide an hourly rate. But no other proffeshion just makes up prices out of nowhere.

The only thing different about hospitals is that you are unconcious and can't control anything.

Let me ask you a question - how does 'free market' and competition work without price information?
While I have no data to support this, I don’t think “regular people” are purchasing OEM parts, renting tools for a $1,200 deposit, and risking self-repair. To me, the idea is almost absurd.
Or alternatively it was absurd for hobbyist repairers to ask for these tools in the first place, and if they’re upset now when they are given what they asked for, maybe that’s on them, not Apple.
I'm inclined to agree with you and it makes me wonder, why should global warming be a more favored subject than health equity?
Build system madness? Basically all projects are either build with Maven or Gradle?
it's probably to the tune of a few hours a week or so of your time, you value that as you want.
The problem is that there's adverse selection going on here: people who aren't running ponzi schemes and other shenanigans are generally content with the regular banking system, so scammers are disproportionally present in the crypto world. Given that environment, it's mostly risk and little benefit for legit users in crypto.

The killer app for decentralized finance so far is sidestepping laws. No wonder it's a den of snakes.

It's interesting that shopping carts that you have to insert a coin into still seem to be uncommon in the US. They were the obvious way to incentivise people to bring the carts back in Germany.

(And not necessarily the same people who shopped with them. People who find an abandoned shopping cart in the parking lot would often bring it back to the store to get at the coin.)

> In general you can't prove a program will or won't terminate.

As a point of clarity for folks who come to this (the commenter clearly knows this) one can’t _automatically_ prove for an arbitrary program whether or not it terminates. It’s definitely possible to prove this manually per program and most dependently typed languages will do the work for you as a matter of sound over approximation as long as one of the arguments is shrinking in an obvious way.
Only tangentially related, I assembled a children's book made by GPT-3 and Midjourney, which is a generative art collaboration that is along the lines of DALL-E.

(Edit: see JacobiX reply, looks like it robbed the concept, possibly because I didn't give it any direction.)

I just prompted GPT-3 (davinci-002 engine on openai) to write a children's book and include illustration suggestions. I didn't even suggest a topic, just said 'children's book'. I fed the illustration suggestions into Midjourney with the qualifier of 'children's book illustration of ...' and pulled the first image of each (it always generates four).

I then asked it for a cover page, last page and a background image for the text.

I assembled the story text written by GPT-3 and images rendered by Midjourney in this google slides preso. The only real creative input i had was the font. I did iterate on the text background image prompt a couple of times to find something that would work:

I've been having a lot of fun with this prompt. Part in asterisks is where you set the topic. The last 'Title of the book:' is where you submit, it really helps keeping the generative part on track.

You have the exact same causal issue to untangle. Do safer riders wear helmets or does wear a helmet make you safer as a rider?

In reality there are confounds both directions. The effects of helmet wearing are higly contingent based on the geography and demographics.
this is a great post on putting together a mechanical keyboard. to note, to get involved in mechanical keyboards there are many ways to approach it:

1 - Buy a mechanical keyboard that's already put together - Razer, Logitech and Corsair and even makers such as Novelkeys have models that are ready out of the box!!

2 - Buy a kit - basically via group buy in most cases but you end up putting most or a few of the parts together yourself. Often these kits come with everything but sometimes you end up having to get the keycaps and/or switches yourself.

3 - Buy all the separate parts and choose your own adventure - this is another way!! Pick everything you want - case, pcb, switches, stabilizers, plates(or no plate if you want), switches and keycaps!

4 - Mod an existing keyboard - take a keyboard that you bought off the shelf and solder on your own switches or just change the keycaps. I have a great Cooler Master board that I moved the pcb into a custom housing. This option is not as common i feel but its out there!

While this can be a lucrative hobby do not feel like you cannot choose option 1 to get yourself involved. Its ok if you are not building everything from scratch or printing the the PCB yourself. Enjoy it, you are all allowed to be here!
I think the produce thing is not as big of a factor as people seem to think, except for certain things which of necessary I can pick up at the farmers market (SF has one every day).

I don't eat animal products so that might be influencing my thoughts around food longevity though.

I was measuring convenience in terms of time. It seems from my observation that a lot of people also don't cook for themselves as much as we do, so they might get more value out of the small trip.

Adam Savage's Rant on Laser Printers and Google Search

I am extremely skeptical that it will only cost few cents. (I've sent and received BTC in early 2010s)

On ramp and off ramp to fiat will kill you - whether through transaction fees or through slippage.

Let's say I am in US with 10k USD cash and I want a family in Ukraine (let's say somewhere safeish like Lviv) to have that 10k USD in hand.

Crypto is going to be more expensive than Western Union/Transferwise/SEPA/regular bank transfer/courier through friends.

That is the problem with crypto transfers - sure most crypto coins can be transferred cheaply.

However that "cheapness" only works as long as you stay in crypto verse.
> You just shop on a daily basis. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe you walk to the shops if they are close enough?

If not, that sounds wasteful.

Personally I try to spend as little time in the store as possible, so when I am in there I'll take extra of whatever keeps just so that I don't have to be in the store again any time soon. Better to spend an extra 5m grabbing everything for the next week than to come in again in two days time.
(Note that I posted this, not because I agree with the article, but I thought it might lead to some interesting discussions and debate here.)
Also it’s waaay easier to scale the flat file solutions to a million visitors.
I don't perceive the benefit from risk reduction of helmets in cars to overcome the hassle hurdle. But I wouldn't advocate banning others from wearing helmets in cars if they so wished.
Nobody's even "encouraging" (let alone "enforcing") helmet use in this case. This is purely staff riders choosing on their own whether or not they should wear a helmet, and Pedal Me throwing a fit over it over some patently absurd "safety reasons".
>passengers wouldn't feel safe next to a helmet-wearing driver while not wearing one themselves.

Wouldn't the same apply to mask wearing? Yet we consistently see service employees wearing them and customers not.
> Never mind the fact that most of the shelves are not stocked by store employees, but by distributors.

This is new to me. Do you just mean that the placement is decided by distributors? I'm pretty sure I have seen store employees putting stuff on the shelves from time to time at my local supermarket.

I’ve seen the horror of abuse and know the wrecked people that come out of mental institutions. I know the hopelessness of those without skills surrounded by predatory people. I understand the brutality of caste systems and the superficial rejection of good people for stupid fleeting status games. I understand the history of the world and current and past slavery and all the brutality we inflict on each other. But I think we can try to do just a bit better than yesterday, and make our little part of the world better if we’re proper stewards. I’d rather die trying to do that and teach others than to roll over and allow the world to degenerate without any kind of fight, or give an opiate to a person to whom I could instead give a cure.

I think focusing on inequality is an egregious mistake, and is a consequence of a perspective where comparison to others is paramount. Worth and contentment should not be viewed as related to the circumstances of others, it should be something each of us compares to our own prior circumstances.

If we are doing better than we were yesterday, that is immensely positive. And I believe that is possible for everyone. I believe everyone can find a friend out there that enriches them, and we can get the world to think and value compassion and social bonds just a tiny bit more than the day before.

If AI can supplement people when they’re in dire straights, and it works, then sure. But it won’t ever equalize the experience of everyone, because everyone is coming from a different place, and I don’t think it will ever substitute true human connection. The goal should be enrichment, and trying to increase positivity without taking from others. Social interaction is mutually beneficial when done correctly and can accomplish that.

The key and the challenge is to pair and train people in such a way that people are incrementally uplifted and not torn down. I think if AI has a place, it is best used to figure out optimal pairings that encourage that growth.
I used to shop on a daily basis. Lately, though, I cannot know that food I want will be available on a daily basis, so I buy in bulk when it is available. This week diet soda is not on the shelves, but at least jumbo eggs are, and that’s rare. I only have this problem on the west coast, so I suspect it’s a local distribution issue; I’m looking forward to moving back to the east coast, where groceries are more plentiful.
I pretty clearly articulated exactly what was unconscionable:

> if even 1 incident occurs which was unavoidable by an unhelmeted cyclist which harms them more than they would have been harmed wearing a helmet, then the policy is unconscionable

if you can think of a scenario in which what I described as unconscionable happens, then I would find that scenario unconscionable.

> Do the other things to reduce risky behavior, certainly, but if this is an uncorrelated improvement I don't see why that wouldn't be worth taking.

whereas I DO see why such a helmet ban would be a risk not worth taking, it is at the top of this post.
Okay, is it possible to answer my question - what aspect of life does Human Civilisation as a whole have a plan for?
