What makes you think Iollo is more trustworthy or has better incentives?

They are using enough shady language that my trust level is pretty low, and I suspect one of the major incentives to recommend one supplement over another is financial.
And if I had added a "and of course someone will come into the replies and say it's only about profit" then that would have negated your comment?

Welcome to the real world where 2 things can be true at the same time: Apple cares about profits and Apple cares about privacy.
I lead a Ml Product team and in my experience no they’re not. The academic types are very proficient at research and exploratory data analysis. They’ll whip up a Jupyter in no time but they struggle understanding a live production system.

This is where an ML engineer comes into play, they’re not so academic but way better at writing production code
Of course! Please feel free to drop me an email, I love working with engineers to get their companies team accounts. It's even more fun with colleagues :)
> They hate him, but they keep doing him favors, the latest being an attempt to kill off his biggest primary rival.

This is very untrue. The LOVE him. CNN and all of the left wing outfits have waaay more impressions during Trump's presidency. Right now there's nothing to view except fox news because everyone is looking for people hating on Biden right now and the left media is refusing.
Somewhat interestingly, Ted Chiang, in my opinion one of the best writers working in science fiction today, worked as a technical writer for Microsoft. However, he has said that they are very different and he doesn't feel one really impacts the other [1]. I'm not entirely sure I buy that, but it is interesting to see someone who's worked in both mediums talk about the connection.

Sweetwater's customer experience is so good that it freaks me out. You have an assigned "sales engineer" who calls after the first order you make. So I've talked to them.

At one point I ordered a couple of different guitar hangers to try them out. I got a call asking if I meant to order 1 guitar hanger and 1 ukulele hanger. The sales engineer looked at the order, my history, and apparently had notes from one of our conversations and thought it might have been a mistake. It was and we corrected it before it shipped.
Not GGP, but I assume they mean that bills were passed through parliament without any real debate or amendments, since the governing party holds a super majority.
Seems like a cottage recipe market/consultancy for small non-tech business could be a professional services like option (or for others to have a small consultancy coming into non-tech businesses and selling setting this up, templating, recipes, whatever for companies.

interesting markets in this could be tying to legal, real-estate, construction, hospitality, etc - obv a stretch goal or at least something to just consider how to accommodate.

Any chance those videos are entirely fake themselves? Like, a third tier scam?

Of course they feel super vindicating to watch, but wouldn't that be exactly what pulls people in to watch them?

Honestly, when I try keeping the scammers on the line to eventually mess with them, they always seem to hangup after 5 seconds. I don't even know how they get to the point where they scam the elderly because they just always immediately hangup after their intro.

To be fair, you are right, now, because when I first opened the discussion there was only 1 critic comment and the rest was overly enthusiastic praise. It really stood out from the usual tone of the discussions.
One of the pain points of reality is that entrepreneurs are tasked (or self-tasked out of necessity) with both finding a problem and masquerading any procedurally generated idea as the solution

It should really be different people/organizations that we can judge independently, what we are currently doing is very inefficient and only somewhat works simply because there are so many entrprenuers and so much capital and money, but it could be more efficient if the more correct entrepreneur was evaluated earlier instead of just the more connected entrepreneur
Hey, I work @ Zellic. If you have any questions, definitely feel free to reach out!
Yep, this came out from trying to figure out how to set up something that would be generally simple to set up and maintain, but still be scalable for future growth. There didn't seem to be a lot of examples, and so we thought we would share this and give the exact instructions on how to get something like this running.
Amazon’s seller policy demands that be the case. You can have your listings removed for policy violation if you offer a price lower than amazon including sales events and discounts. The product manufacturer can have priority control on the amazon listing so there is incentive for the manufacturer to be on amazon if only for that control. I see some sellers offer discounts in their website greater than amazon sometimes but they are vulnerable to expulsion if they are reported.
> OTOH there are other approaches; say, LXD directly assumes an ecosystem of processes within a container, more akin to a VM than to a single chroot-ed / jailed service process.

Those are what I had in mind. Basically cheaper VPS like service but built on Linux container tech instead of full virtualization. Maybe they are less of a rage these days, when fully virtualized KVM/Vmware VPS are so cheap. But about 5 years ago I did run my email server, webserver and database on such a container for $1-1.5$/mo. When I was able to switch to full virtualization at similar price point, I did. But there's nothing weird about runing multiple different processes in a "container" :)

Sounds like the press is spending a lot of time trying to make terrible things happen. If I were a more conspiratorial man, I might mention that they also have a vested interest in terrible things happening, since that drives engagement with their journalism/news media.

Replacing such an important component in the car is totally a 12 month+ endeavor. Validations and tests are long, long things. Unless you're Tesla, and are grabbing whatever you can find in the nearest BestBuy and put that in the car that day.

They should (and I expect they do) totally start work on alternatives, but that very likely won't bring them to market faster.

I don't see any good reason why people can't be allowed to remain anonymous while still allowing website operators from taking measures to stop bot abuse. CAPTCHAs can already stop many bots. Other commenters have also mentioned that things like Proof of Work systems and micro-transactions could also stop bot abuse. These don't necessarily require giving up anonymity.
I'd say I get 5 amazon contacts per month. Some on LinkedIn, some on my company email. I just ignore them.
To provide another viewpoint: I have used Amazon for maybe 10 years. I have thousands of orders with them. I try to buy everything I can from them since it's convenient. I buy things from paper towels to computer components to tools to clothes.

I've never received a counterfeit item as far as I know. Any time I buy from a strange company I have 30 days to return the item, and returning is incredibly easy with so many Amazon package drop-off points that now exist -- I don't even have to re-package the item.

Companies using familiar, easy-to-use platforms like Stripe and Shopify greatly increases my chance of buying from them. I generally prefer Amazon though because they have consistent customer service, returns are super easy (click a button, take the item to an Amazon Fresh store), and shipping is free with Prime.

I'd love for Amazon to have some serious competition, but I don't think there's anything quite as good as it.
It's going to be interesting to see if companies that facilitate US companies direct hiring of foreigners will change this or if the problems will persist.

If anything I would think it would be harder to outsource manufacturing than software engineering, more communication and real world problems to sort out in addition to legal, cultural and communication issues.

Wouldn’t this exhaust the server resources with storing all the tokens?

Not really --- only 8 bytes per token and they can be discarded on successful login. Tokens older than X minutes or with more than X attempts can be discarded/rejected too.

How many users are legitimately attempting to log in to your server at the same time?

If you worried about this, encode the current time into the token using a hashing/encryption/checksum method of your choice. This way, everything needed to validate the attempt is submitted along with the credentials.

> everyone is looking for people hating on Biden right now

...I'm going to need you to define "everyone" in this sentence for it to have any semblance of truth.
The EU is not capable of producing it's own FB, Google and Apple, and those 'bad things' they do are are very marginal.

FB selling ads to people and allowing agencies to 'target' people based on whatever just isn't causing a lot of harm to anyone. Nobody in Europe is being 'put off' because they're seeing Kid's Clothing ads because they are parents. I mean, it's odd, but not that bad.

The American Gov. are not going after Europeans for arbitrary reasons. If the NSA is targeting a European for something, you can be sure it already rises to the level of 'international shenanigans' anyhow, and that probably something is very wrong.

FB could very well remove the possibility for the NSA to directly get data on some random European but it largely won't make a difference.

Right now, the CCP has access to anything they want, for any reason they want, including arbitrary malicious things such as harassing NGOs etc..

"Complete Mastery" already sounds fake. Meditation is not something you "master." It's a learning process, and you can always improve. It's getting acquainted with your Self, and that involves lifelong practice. Anyone who says they've "mastered" meditation is unclear on the concept.
Isn't this just Chaos Theory, Calculus, and the problem of Jerks (third derivative of position in regards to time)?

When you slice complex reality into smaller pieces, within the smaller piece you have a rough idea of velocity, and changes in velocity (aka acceleration), but you have no idea of future speed-bumps, aka the jerks (third derivative of position in regards to time) for that information is outside the frame of reference when you divided reality into smaller pieces.

Thus you have pictures of people / objects in systems but you are not truly understanding relationships thus you miss things even though you feel like you see things. It is all a theme park for our own amusement, it is not real, only hyper-real which becomes uncanny when we start noticing how the images are off.
> Who goes to work knowing they'll spend their entire day ruining lives?

I mean this applies to way more than just scammers like this. See: Wells Fargo opening accounts in customer's names or a whole litany of other examples of companies ruining people's lives. Cognitive dissonance, "I'm just doing my job", "If I wasn't doing this someone else would be", etc...

Someone who studied those things would understand that an ideology and a belief are separate things, where one is, literally, artifacts of the iterated logic of an idea and possible conclusions, whereas a belief is an underlying premise or axiom.

Not all beliefs are ideological, and not all ideologies are beliefs, especially when they are just conclusions. Category errors are funny, but clearly not everyone is in on the joke.

the subsidy fleet, they will manufacture blue hydrogen using russian ga... oh, wait a minute
Yeah that sounds a lot like the classic:

buy this software and it comes with a 1 year support contact. You can download any new releases that occur while you have n active support contract. if you don't choose to continue the support contract once it ends, you can continue using the latest version released while you have the contract (and possibly older versions too).

The big difference though is that with this model the consumer gets security, bug fixes, OS compatibility updates, etc even after the subscription/"support contract" has ended. This may have the downsides of possibly getting new bugs over time, or gradually accumulating new menu items etc that you can't use.
Commenting because I don't know a great way to find this comment in the future otherwise.

I have a decent learning & development stipend at my job, and I've been looking to buy some hard copies of technical writing books so I can refer to them easily during the workday. And to intimidate my enemies on Zoom, of course. So far my go-tos are "Docs for Developers" and the classic "Elements of Style", which complement each other well, covering the newest documentation strategies and the oldest nonfiction writing strategies, respectively. I'd really like to start posting reviews to my blog as I read more and build out my own library.
Out of interest who led the team? Did you have a product manager? Ideally they should make everyone aware of the value of the work
No it won't. "Sears" used to sell high-quality own-brand products, then eventually outsourced to China, now it's gone.

Amazon is the next Sears. Eventually something will come along with a selection of curated high-quality products, everyone will celebrate how amazing it is, and it will replace Amazon. Then that too will eventually need to pay back investors and shareholders, exploit its dominant position in the marketplace, and race to the bottom, again.

This is the natural cycle of commerce in capitalism.
Yeah pretty much, help me get to a data connected state as fast as possible so I have an app / view to share with someone. It's likely an app has a user's table with created ts, help me generate a chart of signups over last 30 days or something rather than having me manually create an app, drag in a chart, nav about to connect pg and then write the basic SQL. Then once I have a working base I can explore from there
I would tend to agree that in person is better/safer, but

> they've already researched and selected the best items to stock

I'm not convinced at all that the store buyers research and choose with materials consideration (such as BPA and other things we wish to avoid in our food products). Still, it has a better chance than from Amazon. In fact, if the Amazon listing says "BPA free", can you trust it? Is there any way to believe that it is verified? (almost certainly not)
Not technical writing, but the best book I've ever read on writing (including Elements of Style etc.) is "Getting Published in International Journals: Writing Strategies for European Social Scientists".

On the surface it's aimed at academics who are non-native speakers of English, but in my experience most people could do with reading it.
If you're that close to publishing just publish already :) This thread is dead in the next couple hours.
Same, but you and I are technical. Does the average person rely on search engines and then just link in? IDK.
People are certainly capable of wilfully misinterpreting the prompt because they consider monkey/iguana chimeras to be amusing to draw, or think that semi-abstract hybrid animals with a caption musing on the meaning of "touching" is a higher form art than mere representation. And in a photoshop competition they might all copy one silly interpretation because they think it's meme-worthy.

But I don't think if you asked 18 humans to independently draw "monkey touching iguana" you'd get 17 pairs of monkey/iguana hybrids mostly not touching each other against photographic backgrounds often featuring human limbs and one apparently normal monkey being pursued by a giant iguana!

I would just like a manual filter. If I search for "rechargeable AA batteries" I get dozens of entries. It would be so much easier if I could manually click off the ones I know are not what I want. Like the multitude of AAA rechargeable batteries that always come up when I search for AA rechargeable batteries. No, I can't remove them. I'm forced to scroll through them again and again while evaluating the other options, continuously multiplying my opportunity to make a mistake and buy the wrong item.

By the way, if you do buy AAA batteries by accident, because you forgot half the entries are going to be for AAA even when you explicitly searched for AA, they won't take the AAA rechargeable batteries back. In fact they'd rather give you a refund and have you fling those brand-new unopened AAA rechargeable batteries into a landfill.

It's an increasingly hostile user experience, much like buying a used car used to be.
As a developer, the other concerns that I always want to be addressed around RPA / UI based tools are (1) how do I solve my problem when it outgrows the bounds of the product, yeah, you kinda have custom code I can enter via the webpage, but... (2) why do I have to use & learn your UI, let me use my normal tools
Unfortunately, inventory mixing broke that some time ago. You can order from RealBrand's store on Amazon and Amazon can still deliver you something some other seller told them was the same item. It's pretty awful.
I thought I was doing that, but twice now, I have opted to pay the small business's website directly more than what I would have paid on Amazon, and I end up getting something from Amazon. So at least some have figured out how to price discriminate and pocket the extra money for ordering from the "official" website.
I suspect you're thinking of Craiyon (formerly DALL-E Mini) which is a derivative (but distinct) project, and consistently does the beige swirls. DALL-E 2 proper is much higher fidelity, and seems much more reliable at generating passable (if imperfect) faces from what I've seen.
do you have a citation for that claim?
I can guarantee if you shop that much you've 100% had counterfeit items, you just didn't notice it.

Or you're the online shopping equivalent of the 1.5 billion lottery winner the other day.

I've said this before but it bears repeating- one good anecdote vesus decades of openly user hostile and duplicitous practices and counterfeits doesn't wash.

At this point you are part of the problem by supporting them in their bullshit simply for your convenience.
