It is a ridiculous ask by TSLA. Why should videos that highlight mortal dangers be taken down? Fix the software/hardware instead of waging this quixotic PR/legal battle. It fools no one.

Wasn't TSLA/Musk the one that vehemently criticised and made a mockery of competitors who included LIDAR as part of their situational awareness technical solution? Could the FSD issues pointed out be potentially minimized with LIDAR added?

You do if you want to autocomplete your email address in fields I guess, but I agree it isn't a very good reason for an extension. It's one of those convenience extension that, would it be made by any other company, I'd be very suspicious of.
This may be misleading.

As far as I could tell (using it before, during, and after this Beta option was available) it was the upscalar using that, not the original 4 image generation.
Another thing, that some people are underestimating is that people can have way, way more impact by switching careers than just donating money. Knowledge, expertise and dedication is worth millions when it comes to finding solutions to pressing problems.

I like https://80000hours.org/
They go over this topic way more in depth and also have a job board of most impactful jobs.
I don't get why heroku would do this, it's killing any customer who would start off small and scale up.

I mean how much money could they possibly be losing from hobby dynos etc...
I like how you put it. I guess I'd also say the same for any time the federal government is giving people a hand up, helping them out. And that it's not just less wasteful but more effective, locally.
You have to install a browser extension to use email? Who had this bright idea?
I think the answer is both maybe we don't need one to the exception of the other.

Send them money for food but also help them build a railway, shopping mall or water infrastructure.

What we would do from our perspective might not be the same thing that we would do in their perspective. But obviously we have a perspective of what they need. How we can help them.

Do people suddenly rise up and decide to build water infrastructure or electrical grid or proper housing for everyone in a town?

Takes extreme funding to do both. Would they be willing to listen to what we tell them what to do?
When companies are acquired by salesforce, do they ever get become better in terms of features, reliability etc? There are more example than just Heroku like Exact Target.

Through In-Q-Tel, the CIA invested in a LOT of companies who were aiming to solve the problems they had. Google was another very early investment by In-Q-Tel on behalf of the NSA because Google's stated goal -- to collect, organize, and make sense of all of the world's data -- overlaps with what the NSA's goal is (and it's possible that Google might come up with better ideas and tech for doing it than the NSA's brain trust).

If these agencies were NOT investing in potential technical solutions that would be a cause for concern.

Your supposed easily solved problems run up against cost or local building codes. Apartments tend to suck because builders put the bare minimum amount of work/cost necessary to get a building up to code. They have shit insulation because it's cheap but up to code. They have bad ducting and poor ventilation because it's cheap but up to code. The building codes are generated more from danger avoidance and other liability more than occupant comfort or efficiency.

Suburban parts of cities often aren't zoned for high density housing because the NIMBYs don't want them near their detached homes. When everyone sees a house as an investment there's no incentive for them to increase housing in their city.
Yes, if you are spending time thinking about the most effective ways to help others and using your resources on the conclusions you come up with you are an effective altruist.

Thanks.

> It's a start in preventing predatory lenders

Doesn't loan forgiveness just encourage MORE lending? Does a rational person base their lending decisions on a chance of politically precarious one-off presidential forgiveness?

>trapping 18 year olds in loans they'll never get rid of.

Should we cancel child support debts for any 18 year old who knocked up a girl after she begged for it? Just trying to figure out when 18 year olds are allowed to be held responsible for their debts. A child is also a big gift and investment worthy of society investing in, so if education is worth society paying for without 'trapping' the 18 year old, then we can also excuse 18 year olds of 'predatory' child support.

----------

RE (below):

I can't help comment on the drop-dead-laughing hilariousness of suggesting these federal loans are 'predatory' while simultaneously you denied my suggestion that we eliminate this 'predatory' loan program. You want to perpetuate a program you find 'predatory' and possibly 'malicious' while encouraging EVEN MORE lending. Your refusal to consider cancel the debt of a guy who gets 'trapped' by a voluntary decision with a baby mama shows this has nothing to do with cancelling the poorly counseled debt of 18 year olds and everything to do with pandering to your favored group at the cost of the blue collar worker and his family.
What world are you living in where Apple Music (subscription or just the app with your own tracks) or something like a paid Spotify subscription don't give you this? We can ignore the subscription and look just at the Apple Music app which supports DRM-free music without issue, has no commercials, no promos, no licensing issues. You are describing an experience that everyone can have today, using CarPlay, using Apple Music or any other music playing app that has CarPlay support. At worse just skip CarPlay and Bluetooth or Aux-in to your car (with the dongle).
I should have taken more notes on this...

I think my primary issue with Render.com was the shared database for PR previews. The way I am setup on Heroku is I run a demo instance that resets hourly and build PR reviews from the Heroku Dashboard when necessary. All with no cost. The shared database makes the PR reviews effectively useless because of the need for the ongoing demo database.

I was also turned off by the default service plan being a non-free one. I got a surprise bill in my first month of testing this because I had not specified the free plan in the service configurations.

Also one of the weirdly nice things from Heroku was the ability to run cron jobs for free. Lacking that I had to create a GitHub Action to handle resetting the demo data every few hours. Just an additional pain.
Oh, awesome!! Funny how urine is so commonly used in dyeing.... I wonder how consumers feel about that but also maybe they don't need to know lol
> edit: also recently people noticed that high 'trucks' would simply miss the crumple zones in the car they were crashing into

Yup. But because pickup truck drivers still want to sit 50 feet above traffic, the trucks end up with these ridiculously tall front ends and complain about how ridiculous they look. When you tell them it's so you don't run over other cars and kill the occupants in a crash, they literally tell you that they don't care.
Ah! Thanks for the lesson … and always good to see references to design heritage.
I never even had to sit in traffic. I can bike to work through a very nice meadow and forest in about 15 minutes. But after working from home for 2 years, doing even that nice of a commute seems like hell. Never again.
The fact that this guy routinely asks for you to send feedback to his personal LinkedIn page says it all.

An alternative way of putting that setting back would have been `git config --global --unset gpg.format`, or just editing ~/.gitconfig by hand and removing that line. This works for any option without needing to know what the default for it is.
Is there any tracking other than images? I do "Block all images" in email anyway, would I gain anything (in terms of tracking protection) from this?
Could be the monitoring that they always warn you about at the start. When a supervisor steps in or off the line it can create that sort of pause or click associated with "someone is listening in". I agree the tech should be better by now, but I don't know enough about what's going on to know exactly why.

Feels like phone latency is getting longer and longer as we move to VoIP for everything and I hate it.

This is just a terrible take. I have wrecked knees and there are times when I can't walk any significant distance, and I'm not even 50 years old.

Frankly, Marginalia shows how many of these glorified websites are just dead, forgotten projects that are only still running because nobody remembered to take them down.

While I like using Marginalia to find these websites, I don’t think it’s a demonstration of how “alive” the internet is but more like a lens into what the internet used to be, like walking around an archaeological dig site.

For hosting simple open source apps there is also https://www.pikapods.com. Not free forever, but fairly cheap at around $1.5/month for the typical app.

I'm a founder and we specifically don't focus on running custom apps, but a moderated selection that also gets updates and optimizations. Like an app store for open source web apps.
The big question is why the 'undecided' are undecided and why anti-vaxx groups have such a large influence.

I think we actually know the answers to these questions but we're too frightened to tackle the problem head-on.

=== Does fRPC support protobuf backwards/forwards compatibility between message versions?
TL;DR - We don't currently, but we plan to.

We've built our own protobuf library called Polyglot, which encodes messages in an order based on their types rather than the number associated with the proto3 file. Because of this, we don't currently support backwards and forwards compatibility the way gRPC does.

=== Performance comparison with C++ arena allocations
TL;DR - We don't have specific benchmarks for this (yet).

C++ arena memory allocations are similar to Go's memory pools in the way they try to pre-allocate and reuse memory. fRPC is written in Go, but it doesn't currently use memory pools. Adding support for them is on the roadmap, though! that's a future optimisation that we expect will provide even further performance optimisations.

As far as C++ goes, though, the library is currently written in Go and we don't have a C++ version on the roadmap. That said, this is brand new and we're absolutely listening to determine if it makes sense to implement fRPC in other languages, such as C++ and Rust.
Substack! They were down - again - a couple days ago, and the message was:

Marginal cost of using that is basically $0. The internal dataset is a sunk cost that's already been paid for (presumably for their other, revenue generating products like Google Images). Half of their dataset is a publicly available one.
Pretty much, but integrated into the browser itself, so you have a layer of interaction on top of the Web content itself (bookmark sharing, comments, recommendations, etc).

Just another Yahoo-like site has the problem that the moment you click a link you are leaving the site, which makes it impossible or at least extremely cumbersome to have features that span multiple sites. Youtube in contrast knows what you are looking at and is keeping track of it to fine tune recommendations, offer comment sections, subscriptions and such, that's not something you can do just by recreating Yahoo.
The grocery store doesn't need to be near everyone's home. It just needs to be near your home. Buy a home in a location that suits your needs.
When my wife and I bought were looking for a home in 1993, our #1 requirement was that it was a walkable urban environment with a minimum of restaurants, bars, and parks, and preferably, other entertainment as well.

We narrowed it down to four towns in the area near both our jobs, and settled in a town of about 12,000 that is 2 square miles in area. Our neighborhood of single family homes is mostly 50ft x 90ft lots. There are several apartment complexes in town, and also several high rise apartment buildings.

We had a few bars and restaurants when we bought the house, there are more now, plus a very good performing arts theater, a movie theater, and several good parks. It really hit all the points.

The added kicker is that we have a light rail stop in town that can deliver us to Manhattan in 85 minutes.

In spite of that, we know a lot of people that question why we didn't take that same amount of money and buy a much larger house on a full acre out in the suburbs. They really just don't get it.
Could you go into one more level of detail about your app? I think this will help me better understand content for some documentation.

Here's the rough bits of what Fly has:

1. There's a release command (https://fly.io/docs/reference/configuration/#run-one-off-com...) that runs after the container is built, but before its deployed. In Rails that's when a database migration would be run.

2. To run a task after the application is deployed, there's shell access. Here's what that looks like for running Rails tasks: https://fly.io/docs/rails/the-basics/run-tasks-and-consoles/

3. Pre-deployment/build commands can be run from the Dockerfile, like a Rails asset compilation. Here's a link to that https://github.com//superfly/flyctl/blob/master/scanner/temp...

I recognize that this is a lot for folks who aren't comfortable configuring stuff and want the "no-config ease" of Heroku, but it's at least possible on Fly.
They're telling you why: having a free tier means allocating a lot of resources to fraud and abuse, which are rampant in hosting, especially now that you can convert hosting dollars almost directly to cash. It's a big problem, and I have every reason to believe they're being forthright about why they've made this decision.
Lol good point -- woops! But maybe I should look into how tie-dye was invented for a future post.... it's gotta be mildly interesting.
Thanks to the paywall, I can only read the headline and first two paragraphs. From those, here are my thoughts.

Many Americans, especially among those calling themselves "patriots", will loudly proclaim their pride in how free citizens of America are. And at least as many Americans, if not more, will tout the glories of capitalism as the best economic system in existence, and even demonize socialism (which they often conflate with communism).

And yet, to summarize the headline and those two first paragraphs: "Capitalist overlords are threatening employees with potential poverty, starvation, and homelessness at such high rates that they are now more scared to disobey or leave said overlords, even if they're miserable under them."

Ah, yes. Capitalism in the US: a bastion of freedom, where slavery has been illegal since 1865 (unless it's economic slavery as opposed to physical force).
In other words, "Content creator" is just a job title, devoid of any other actual meaning.
I hate the corporate speak of 'Next Chapter', 'Public Roadmap' - just be direct and confident enough to say upfront that you are removing the free tier, instead of hiding it in the blog post. Come on, Bob!
Salesforce acquired Heroku if you weren't aware. There's your "why" right there!

> Do you think this remains true with DIE and affirmative action being implemented in all major employers, universities and institutions?

Meritocracy is about how government employees (or those who aren't legally "employees" per se, but who still have the political power) are chosen, not about how students or private employees are chosen. (c.f. how the existence of religious schools doesn't imply the country is a theocracy, the existence of CEOs doesn't imply the country is an autocracy, etc.)
Anti-political just means pro-status-quo. You can afford to be anti-political because the current state of affairs is convenient for you.
I've heard of fastmail in years past. Your comment got me curious again about it. How's the deliverability of their service? I guess with anything "email related", the hardest part is making sure that the emails I send actually ends up where I intend to go. (Goes without saying, outbound emails are NOT spam but legitimate emails.)
This surprises me, because it feels like killing the golden goose. I don't think the attackers gained anything by doing this, and it'll make it less likely anyone will pay their ransoms going forward.
This answers the VC money fear, but not everything else OP brought up.

If a product is subsidized by a company's other products, it's hard for me to believe it'll be around forever. For an email product, that's a huge problem, because I use my address in hundreds of contexts that take a long time to identify and migrate, much longer than a typical company's sunsetting notice.

EDIT: The parent comment was edited to note that they perceive DDG Email as part of the core product, not a separate product. That's helpful to know, but I'm still skeptical that that's sustainable in the long term. This would not be the first time a feature was cut from a product because it was too expensive to maintain. I'll be waiting to see their unified privacy solution really take off before I place any bets on this feature.
I was able to generate a random private duck address (o8oyr2f8@duck.com) that's connected to my name@duck.com which then forwards to my personal gmail. I can change the forwarding address too which helps when I move from gmail to a private-er service. Please send me your best educational spams at the address above. It will self-destruct shortly when I generate a new private address. Really cool to see more offerings like these.
In a real time system you probably shouldn't run out of RAM (or it should be a recoverable error, like dropping a packet).

But GC pause is inevitable if the GC can't reliably keep up (like a spike in workload).
Not builtin. We recommend folks run their load balancer in Nomad. Traefik is a common solution here as it already supports Nomad's service discovery. Other solutions often use templating and sig-hupping to configure: https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/job-specification/template

Nomad also supports CNI. It's not uncommon for folks to run their network's control plane as a Nomad job and use a CNI plugin to integrate their other Nomad jobs with it. This sort of approach allows for running multiple logical networks within a single Nomad cluster (eg perhaps segments of your cluster use a service mesh while data intensive or legacy applications use host networking).

Can't second this enough. If you get a survey at work, assume all your personal info will be attached to this. At my current job, I've had a coworker let me and some friends know that they were reached out to by HR due to certain concerns. Basically, work surveys are 100% not anonymous, so be mindful of that when you're answering. Answer boldly when you feel confident doing so (like if you're answering questions around work life balance, etc), but don't share more than you feel comfortable sharing.
Then the followup question is "What is being effective to you? Based on your second assumption, it appears that being effective to you means, at worst, only helping those close to you, and at best, helping in ways that are visible to you. Do you think those in your community are the most in need of assistance, and even if they are, do you think that your view of what they need is more insightful than their opinion of what they need?"

The way you've defined things, asking a homeless person for what they believe would most help them is not effective, because it is second hand.
I agree that it’s textbook tragedy of the commons. It might appear that orcas are trying to outcompete with fishing boats, but this sounds like personification or an anthropomorphism of whales.

I figured it along the lines of diminished habitat leading to attacks on a perceived invader, which just so happens to be far worse than any natural predator. It might also take additional experimentation/observation to see if some orcas are predisposed to aggressive behavior when perpetually hungry, but this seems to me quite a natural impulse to starvation. In any case, it will lead to evolutionary adaptation … or extinction.
Some people could disagree on a topic and go about their day. That isn't true for everyone. One person's disagreement is another person's human rights.

This program, in particular, has no need for any pointers of any kind. They are all better done as simple value objects.

I have verified this by deleting "#include memory>", all uses of shared_ptr, changing all "->" to ".", and deleting all unary "*".

The window member object is initialized, then, using (drumroll...) member initializer syntax. Most uses of "{}" are better deleted.
I wonder if crypto mining was one of the reasons why the had to shut the free tier down. Other platforms offering free computing resources, whether as a coding platform, as a CI/CD service, or in any other way, suffered from that kind of abuse. People working at both Sourcehut and Replit indicated that, and if these (relatively) small platforms had that kind of trouble, I can't imagine what the people at Heroku had to go through.
