Honestly, in the financial world, I think the value proposition may be less about anything to do with the query capabilities and more about the permissions model. Making it simple to provide clients with visibility into their data in a structured way that doesn't involve shoveling around text files (with numerous formatting gremlins to worry about) is a huge win in and of itself.
I can't read the article because paywall, but I did see one group of Apple employees saying that forcing them come back to the office, even part-time was somehow anti-diversity. They'll say anything to get what they feel they deserve.

It's amazing how entitled some people are.
I imagine it was rhetorical, but as you probably imagined I have no suggestions. I understand your needs and imperatives, but they are unfortunately incompatible with mine. Getting a green light on using custom licence is near impossible. Procurement and contracting for database as service is also a nightmare.

I think mongo and elastic could get away with it because they already had captive users. For illustration, I didn't really look at your offering, I went to the licencing section and just summarily disqualified. I am also unlikely to use it personal pet projects, because the learnings cannot be leverage in my paying job.
You need a decent GPU, though. I suspect my 6080MiB won't cut it any longer :(
Entering and awakening from a coma comes pretty close...
..and curiously, with the little speaker icon 'on', it produces no audio alarm for me, (firefox 103.0.2). Whereas this[1] one produces a quite notable sound.

Yes, an order of magnitude literally means 10x. But in my experience, in common speech it's often used to convey an approximation. i.e. 'Changing this will decrease performance of that endpoint by an order of magnitude', when it's really somewhere around 10x. If someone said 'decrease performance by 10x' that seems much more concrete to me.
Awesome work!

What are your thoughts on the feasibility/benefits of using a p2p system like IPFS to share OSM map/tile data between users, rather than serving from one centralized server?
I got it to reset twice in row by using 725 years, reset to 63 then 99!
You have to be reasonably talented to work at Apple. turns out that talented people have other options and don't like being pushed around like a bunch of peasants. Who've a thunk it?
> It would be nice to see all listeners to a particular artist or genre/tag. That would make it easier to befriend like-minded listeners. I imagine the success of this website will partly hinge on the edge density of the social network, so the more avenues you provide users to find friends, the better.

Great suggestion. Truth is, I was focused so much on the core stuff (indexing releases, implementing the bookmarking system, user profiles etc.) that the friend discovery aspect is almost non-existent. What you suggested seems like a great start though.
I suppose that having a small amount of silver or even just copper touching the water can seriously prolong its shelf life, so to say.

Also, putting sterilized water into airtight sterilized containers, as normally done with beer, works well. Carry a can of Liquid Death with you instead of a can of Bud, the weight is the same.
This is how statistics are used in the press to sway opinion. Authority is granted for those who say things like 8.7% and call trends thusly without performing any tests to see if the findings are even significant. Most people don't know what the word significance means in terms of statistics; the press knows this and therefor doesn't bother reporting it or worse, touts insignificant results as significant by doing this 'eyeball' analysis versus real statistical analysis that can support findings.
725 years causes it to glitch twice
I used to do that on a previous account, but after a while you stop caring about karma and just post stuff. Just need to get enough intuition to post things that on average gets upvotes, at that point downvotes no longer matters except as an indicator that someone didn't like what you posted.
I exercise my dog in the same part of my local park each day - a quiet area which is normally a cricket pitch. He’s got terrible recall so we are practising with a long training leash and treats. There’s a family of crows who now - the instant we arrive - swoop down and shout for treats.

They’ve become more and more friendly - and more and more bold. I recently had the treats in a clip lock tub - one of those ones with a circular lid with a clip very 90 degrees. Over the course of a week they investigated the bowl and lid. I made sure to show them clearly how I was opening it. Sure enough, the other day while we were round the other side of the cricket pitch the crows went into my tote bag, pulled the bowl out and opened the lid. I was astonished how quickly they worked it out.

It’s now reached the
point that when we run round the cricket pitch before we leave one of them hops along behind us all the way round. It’s feels weirdly special that they’ve chosen to befriend me like this. I know it’s transactional driven by the treats they get, but even so!
I wouldn't be offended. Many people including me have personal and work experience in this area as well. No one is saying you're wrong, but even you acknowledge there are other ways to upload certificates.. usually involving an API as well. If you want to run unchecked third-party 1000+ line bash scripts on production appliances, by all means go right ahead.
I was just about to post something very similar. I think it's definitely the "Review Queue" system at play here and it has proven quite ruthless to new users posting questions/answers with SO partially mitigating this with marking said users with "hey, that's a new user, please be nice" when you do reviews.
Hah, well they didn’t! But the high expectations definitely encouraged us to perform at a higher level, even if we didn’t hit the initial goals.
Get a remote job and move out here. :) Rent is expensive as fuck but the view is good.
Many that are absolutely true here. But also one that's flat out wrong:

37. Nobody knows how git works; everybody simply rm -fr && git checkout's periodically.

I know how it works. Because the first time I ever heard of git was when I had started a new job and was told the dev team were switching to it. So I spent a couple of days reading up on it and learned exactly how it works.

If you work in Ops, I suggest you do your job properly and do likewise.
> You appear to be one of the people who surprisingly still get good results from google

Add me to that list. Google results are invariably superior every time I've tried out alternatives. I wish it weren't so, as there's still a lot of room for improvement with Google but they have such a monopoly they're unlikely to invest heavily in further advances if there's any risk it reduces their ad revenue.

Do you have some specific examples where an alternative web search returned better results than Google?
Not was. Is.
Do politicians understand blockchains?
Even without any app opened, my manjaro installation seems to ping detectportal.firefox.com which is hosted in google ip address which trigger the noise. With firefox open, the noise got worse. I think firefox sync servers might be located on GCP. But then I tried pinging my GCP server and it didn't trigger the noise.
MAI Systems v. Peak Computer[0] says otherwise, at least in the 9th Circuit and at least covering use of the program. Other courts and Congress have bent over backwards to try and not disturb the ruling.

Even if it was overturned, modification has been a core part of copyright law since Folsom v. Marsh[1], where the Supreme Court interpreted the entire concept of derivative rights into the law. In fact, this ruling was so expansive they had to invent fair use at the same time just to avoid accidentally overturning the 1st Amendment.

Copyright creates the restriction, specifically to legally mandate a negotiation for the license that absolves you of the restriction. If you do not have a license, you have nothing but a pending lawsuit.

I don't get it - conceptually isn't a site/service provider selling the ad space to the highest bidder already? Isn't the goal to max out that revenue?

Maybe allowing your "best" consumers to opt out of ads makes overall CTR drop to some level below which advertisers will no longer want to use your site.

Any insight into numbers for this? It is way outside my knowledge.

I'm guessing, for example, if I said to you - hey, I like your site and will pay $1,000,000 a year to see it without ads that might be a deal you would take?
I don't know about american teenagers, but I'm sad and anxious because human civilization is crumbling before my eyes, everyone one responsible is seemingly conning their way to doing it harder, and it seems like I will never be able to own a home or retire. But, you know, shinny toys and games.
That's a tough one.

This may sound weird, but as long as a person has strong, even incorruptible personal values, or past experiences that taught them important lessons, it will be near impossible to be fully honest in the circumspect sense of the word.

What's usually achievable is more like a subjective honesty, which while it may feel good, never really tells the whole story. Just IMO.

A true cognitive blind spot will make you laugh with discomfort, or you'll just naturally ignore it. If someone who's good at those blind spots teaches you, you'll probably think they are a joke, or space the class.
We’ll find out this winter.
That reminds of the sign "Buy one, get one".
Does that mean you pay for an item and you get that item, or you pay for an item and you get another item for free? I expect the meaning to the be the second one, but my brain parses it to be the first one.
It's not that simple. The demand to reach a target demographic isn't going away. Thus, as the difficulty of reaching that demographic increases so does the cost advertisers are willing to pay.

Also, it's common for companies to offer a paid service and then double dip with an advertisement offering as well.
I mean, the query is “timer $period”. It’s correct in its syntax, a period’s a period. It’s not asking for “timer TIMMY; DROP TABLES”. That’s incorrect input.
Pigeons are smarter than you realize.
We still have a great and advanced industry and craftsmanship.
No, I was there at the inception of this term, and it was absolutely originally imagined as a way of controlling researchers and giving vendors more power over information about their products. It has pissed researchers off for decades, as it implies that not following the "responsible" process makes one per se "irresponsible".
> 2008 had one of the top 5 or 6 peaks of inflation over the past century!

More like the 9th or 10th, but nonetheless I see what you're talking about with the summer 2008 oil spike. The problem with this analysis is that a deflationary spiral is really more about price jerk than inflation itself. In other words, the rate at which inflation is changing is the bigger concern than the inflation rate itself.

> So not sure how you're deducing there was no inflation.

This is a strawman you've entirely made up, so I won't respond to this portion.
It can just only handle two digits in the hours place after the first tick. Any other digits get removed. 1 year becomes 60 hours because it turns 1 year into 8760 hours, then removes the "87" and leaves the "60"

Edit: this seems like it's just a display bug and the original time is still preserved. If you search "timer 100 year 1 second" then it formats to "876000h 00m 01s", then the next tick shows "0s", then the next tick shows "99h 59m 59s"

> Another interesting observation is that "timer 723 years" did not bring timer up

That is weird. Even weirder that "timer 723 year" (singular) does seem to work.
I think we do. It's pretty clear by now that automated speech is qualitatively different than traditional free press speech. Memes can cause stock market fluctuations!

This sort of speech used to be limited to educated and vetted people like news anchors and nationally prominent CEOs and politicians. Now, anybody can cause a book burning.

The same is true of cancel culture. Once it gets in the wrong hands, there's a problem.
> It's amazing how entitled some people are.

How are they entitled? Employment is a business deal. Apple has something the employees want, money, and the employees have something Apple wants, their labor and know-how.

These folks have other options and both they and Apple know it. There's absolutely nothing entitled about using your talent to negotiate an employment situation that suits your lifestyle.
According to the literal reading of the old testament, humanity did not even exist by then, and the world itself did not exist. There can't be a bad habit as old as 8000 years.
If people were actually worried about climate change, they would do something about it. Like instituting a carbon tax, or banning private gas-powered vehicles. We should have don't that 30 years ago.

There is nothing to "work on" here- we can solve climate change by simply voting to solve climate change. We just need everyone to agree that it's a problem and we should prioritize solving it.

The problem is that tons of people either don't believe in climate change or don't care. There are still people who vote for conservatives in 2022, as ridiculous as that is. Until that changes, we need to talk MORE, not less, about climate change until the problem is solved.

As for football - endangering one's health by playing American football is idiotic. It's a crappy game anyway, nothing is lost by spending that time riding a bicycle or playing videogames instead.
CTR is only relevant if it leads to revenue, if you can get revenue anyway why would you bother with the CTR?
A quick Google shows an estimate that it was a 100 billion dollar market in 2017. Seems there is a lot of demand.

It's all publicly available on the Internet (look at jobserve.co.uk for example). The rates for backend work go up to 700 GBP per day, depending on the tech stack.
This is on point. There is a whole variety of visual styles/genres that are in fashion and most producers are risk averse by nature. It is also nothing new - it’s the innovation that is Hollywood.

That being said, the article isn’t off either. I have personally worked on a show that was going to Netflix and their oversight really was very involved. They impose constraints and keep an eye on everything constantly. Down to daily footage being uploaded into their system and an invisible bureaucratic/technocratic remote production team breathing down everybody’s neck. As you can imagine, this isn’t exactly the sort of atmosphere in which a team feels creative or wants to improvise. At the same time everyone also gets compensated well and work goes smoothly, so it becomes this sort of timid affair.

I suspect their prestige productions are probably a different story.
Oh hey, good business.

Can I subscribe to your blog?
I have no proof to back it up, but most politically sensitive subjects are likely monitored by various interested parties ( in old country, it is a job to troll internet forums[1] to sway public opinion one way or the other. Needless to say, even on HN I started to view some comments on political news as tainted. It is unfortunate.

And HN is in a good position to being able to spot most attempts to derail threads and so on.

I was always surprised at how good the one wheel after market parts stuff was. Like you could replace almost everything besides the front foot pad, brains, and motor. I guess most of it is just injected molded plastic bolted on with screws but still it was nice to have the option of different rear foot pads, fenders, tires, etc.

How have you found the switch? Still enjoy riding as much? I had to sell my One Wheel because I moved and the new area the roads were too annoying to cruise on. I've been considering it since the bigger wheels might make it easier to ride on the rougher roads.
The usual modern Google experience: they won't tell you what you did wrong.
>Bach didn't invent the rules of the contrapuntal Baroque style any more than he invented the "rules of music theory". Which is what the actual FA is saying.

I know that, and I agree with the actual FA.

Just not with the comment that there are no "rules of music", which even if pedantically true (obviously, there are microtonal and different harmonic ethnical traditions, there are western niches like noisecore or musique concrete, there is contemporary classical and atonal music, and so on), it falls flat when it comes to the huge majority of music as the audience knows it, and especially western audiences (which the article is addressed at).

Heck, not just in the west but also in Europe, Latin and Central America, Japan, Korea, Chinese pop, etc. follows the same set of foundational rules (12 note scales, major and minor keys plus a dozen variations, modes, triads, and so on). Heck, even A4=440 has been pretty much standard for decades...

Appropriately prioritizing problems has never really been society's strength...
Sure, a bug is a bug, but the original remark was that the software was "buggy". I read "buggy" as riddled with pretty obvious bugs. If we're calling software "buggy" for having any bugs, then, I guess, nearly all software is "buggy" (and the word looses its usefulness).

The people who are getting contracts from the government to "address homelessness" have an incentive to make the problem worse: so they get more contracts.

'Vanity' Product Management Analyses?
What types of analysis do product managers often lack the resources (time, funding) or permission to do that would have a big impact on their product's success?

Grabbing a random paragraph from the TOS and searching for it turns up thousands of identical boiler plate.

That, plus the reasons in a comment I made below, makes it difficult to avoid concluding that this is a complete scam.

I am sure that OP will be happy to correct me if I am wrong, and to clarify how the absolutely glaring red flags are simply my misinterpretation.
These days browsers make sure there's user interaction before audio plays. The other website you linked requires a click to start the timer, therefore meeting that requirement. If Google made this timer muted by default, and you had to click unmute, it would likely work.

Ran into a related bug on a site I was working on the other day and had to learn this browser quirk the hard way.
The author of Flet was interviewed on Talk Python To Me podcast: https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/378/flet-flutter-apps-in...
Seems possible from the technical side, but not so sure about the money part. if I'm following you correctly, XYZ.com would have shown an ad on their site and received, say 1 cent. With your service running, you visit XYZ.com, ad is replaced by a white box, and they receive, let's say 2 cents? If so, seems like efficient microtransactions will be a challenge.
Corollary: If you did not make it, someone else would have anyway.
Replying to myself because I just had a chat with him about this. He's thinking of getting a high end GPU now, lol.

Some ideas of how this could be useful in the future to assist artists:

Quickly fleshing out design mockups/concepts is the obvious first one that you can do right now.

An AI stamp generator. Say you're working on a digital painting of a flower field. You click the AI menu, "Stamp", a textbox opens up and you type "Monarch butterfly. Facing viewer. Monet style painting." And you get a selection of ai generated images to stamp into your painting.

Fill by AI. Sketch the details of a house, select the Fill tool, select AI, click inside one of the walls of the house, a textbox pops up, you write "pre-war New York brick wall with yellow spray painted graffiti"
> "If I was a creative writer then I think the AI could help me with plot outlines or get over writing blocks. But otherwise I'm not grasping why this is going to automate some huge number of jobs."

Writing definitely looks like the key use case. The New Yorker used GPT-3 to write the concluding sentence for one of their articles [0], and I believe The Economist did the same (but for a slightly greater length; though I couldn't find the source just now). It's actually a bit hard to come up with a good conclusion, so this could save some effort and trouble. Separately, GPT-3 can also likely be used for articles about sports, especially if the purpose is to track changes on a scoreboard and present the changes with an article written in prose, versus displayed in a table.

It's quite fair that marketing blogs may not be interesting to many readers, but they can be useful for SEO/boosting the search engine rankings of a website. So, a cash-strapped early or small company could save money from freelance copywriting to GPT-3 if they're not looking for anything fancy, and a lot of people work as freelance copywriters.

I agree that this may not displace anyone in the high-end/high quality segment of copywriting, but it could reduce demand for content farms in the future (i.e. any application where low-quality copywriting written on a short notice is in-demand).

Sir, I was answering honestly and in good faith.

I was pointing out a problem of logic in the comment to which I replied.
People don't want a comprehensive report, they want a headline. Then they become the most dangerous voter and consumer there is: the master of headlines, blind to all context and significance, swayed entirely by the people writing headlines.
not an excuse if it's probably true.. same thing happened when Iraq was invaded, Bush famously said you are either with us or against us
The article is clearly not for you. I understood what he was talking about from the first paragraph and do not have netflix.
Holding out for Reader ;)
It says that NVIDIA chips are recommended but that they are working on optimizations for AMD. This implies to me that it probably involves CUDA stuff and getting it to run on a Radeon would be potentially difficult (I am not an expert on the current state of CUDA to AMD compatibility, though).
> But aren’t you writing down a bunch of stuff that, really, honestly, you’re probably not going to do?

That's a separate problem, and a good reason to have periodic reviews. If you have big items that stay on your list for weeks you should consider removing them or make them more actionable than they currently are.
Almost everyone is quite ok with whatever, will treat whatever they get as UTC, will be happy to ignore the difference.

Everybody that is not on the above paragraph uses TAI.
> Why bother asking people not to? I guess if it helps you sleep at night that you tried, I guess?

They obviously are aware. They just put all that so they don't get "canceled". It's just virtue signaling and covering your ass.
Oh, that can of worms again. Just for fullness sake, in C-like languages there's also error codes and even the infamous "goto" statement as a potential way for dealing with errors.
