That was the exact quote I was thinking of! I recently listened to the Acquired podcasts 4 hour long episode on Amazon.
I drove a Prius only once, for around ten minutes. I used to dislike the Prius, but following that short experience I now hate it from the deepest of my heart.

The Prius is an abomination, because it is too low to be comfortable and because of its wrong, arcuate shape. The natural and right shape for a car includes only vertical walls and horizontal surfaces, apart from the windscreen which is allowed to be slanted, but not too much.
> One of the right turns on a common route I take is on a downhill slope, and I've noticed cyclists passing me on the right even when I already had my turn signal on for several seconds.

So you expect to get unlawful right of way because your vehicle is big and dangerous. Allow me to not share your view about who's a maniac.
Maybe then I should be paying rent to the construction workers who built the apartment I live in and the laborers who made the raw materials, as a thank you for all their hard work.
Dart does basically the same thing, as used in Flutter debug vs release builds. However, this requires people to switch to such a language. If they want to continue to use JS, then we can only provide tooling around it rather than making them change their preferred language entirely.
I also tried signing up for an account a while back when I got my Oculus Quest 2. I did use my real name, and they asked for all kinds of invasive personal information (including a scan of my driver's license and other forms of ID) and ultimately suspended my account too.

So, to put a slightly different spin on your observation, they have pretty bad spam filters that happen to also be pretty good legitimate user filters.
I wouldn't expect this to need any of the Rust build chain, as Rust is a compiled language, just deploy the binary and you're done.
> Fascist and racist ideas are not difficult to parse and there is generally little to no ambiguity in their interpretation.

Interpretation by who? The things I’ve seen labeled as fascist and racist in recent years have led me to believe this is not true. But then again many of the people doing the labeling not only are quick on the trigger to make accusations of fascism and racism, but also seem to see the world in very black and white terms and seem to have little interest in things like nuance or context. I suppose all ideas become easy to parse with no ambiguity in interpretation when you have zero interest in introspection or countenancing views that differ from your own.

If you think that it is so easy and risk-free, why not take your own mortgage and let other suckers pay it off for YOU?

This may be true, but it can't be a case of letting shit roll downhill i.e. I'll think about the blind when I park my bike only after sufficient bicycle parking is designated in every part of every city in the world.

Due to house values rising considerably in the years we've owned, it's actually pretty high considering we're only a few years in. We only put 10% down but we were able to get rid of PMI in only a year because of home prices skyrocketing.

In my experience it's mostly a matter of not having the most desirable bike or the shittiest lock.

Right, in The Netherlands, where there are a lot of bikes, this is the basic rule: just make sure that there are other bikes that are more attractive to steal, even if it's a new bike. The second basic rule is: use a chain lock to attach your bike frame to an unmovable object, so that a thief cannot just throw your bike in a van and remove the locks elsewhere.

What I do:

- Use a ring lock for the back wheel. Makes it unattractive to steal just the wheel. The lock needs to be unscrewed from the frame to remove the wheel.

- Use a chain lock and make it go through the frame, front wheel, and attach it to an unmovable object. In order to steal the frame, the thief would have to saw through the chain in plain sight.

- If there is no supervised parking, park the bike in an area where there are enough people where someone will notice a thief trying to break the locks.

- Get bike insurance. It's usually only 10 Euro per month and if your bike gets stolen, you get back the bike's value.

- Some insurers also install a tracker. This has double value: bikes with a tracker are less attractive to steal. Secondly, bikes with a tracker are usually moved to a 'cool-off' location first. This is usually just some place removed a few streets from where the bike was stolen. If it's still there after a few days, the thieves know that nobody is actively tracking the bike and they can take it somewhere to comfortably break the lock. So, it's likely that the insurer will find the bike at the cool-off location without much damage.
Why? It's the equivalent of frying arbitrary food: almost always a good idea.

> Leading to the ever popular driving across a crosswalk (I'm not so sure who's at fault if I were to hit a bicyclist on a crosswalk, and I'd rather not find out).

It's you. If someone had left a dumpster in the cross walk it's also you. If you hit a cyclist without any lights in the dark, it's you.

You're in charge of a vehicle, unless someone jumps out at you, it's on you not to drive it into things.
Thanks for the great post!

One small addition: Nomad recently implemented basic service discovery functionality into Nomad itself, so for simple use-cases you might get away with just a Nomad cluster without Consul running alongside: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/nomad-service-discovery

Does anything like that exist as a service?
Perhaps the sensor is back a bit behind you?
I know several places where the sensors are 30-60 metres away: it allows cars to pass thru in chunky groups.
The thing I’m curious about is, why did sports cars stop being cool?

They were everywhere in the eighties, and of course critics would describe their drivers as compensating for a subconscious lacking in masculinity or something… they understandably died off in the nineties… and now we seem to be back to compensating with huge trucks?

Sports cars might be dangerous but at least that’s mostly just to the occupiers, what do we have to do to make Ferraris and Porsches (real Porsches, not those disgusting SUVs that have become their bread and butter) cool again?
I'll always choose height for my car because I want comfort.

My top priority when driving is safety for everybody, as in doing all my best to prevent accidents.

My second priority is personal comfort, which helps in guaranteeing the first priority to be respected.
I'm using all three, Apache, Caddy and nginx almost daily. For the trivial, Caddy is amazing. When things get more complex alongside needs themselves, nginx is amazingly powerful. Apache at the same point becomes overly verbose, anomalous and painful. It does take some discipline though, to comment and structure your configuration files, but that applies to anything that isn't trivial. return 444; alone is a great feature I can't do without, not to mention all the modules one can use.

The thing with certificates is that most tutorials are terrible. A very seamless way is to use the webroot method. Create a nginx configuration file that places LE's challenges to a specified folder on your system, include that config into your server blocks. Then you instruct certbot to use that folder. Really quite easy.

I would argue that making it too detailed will cause more problems than it solves. It encourages you to focus and trust the estimates more however the model is still far from reality. People may quit, people may get tired of working on something, they may realize they don't like working on something, some employees might be experts informally supporting other projects, some projects may not be as good for resumes or promotions, onboarding time is different for different people, some people really don't work well split across projects, etc.
It's not worth discussing about Getty so much. AI labs will collect a dataset to predict if an image is watermarked. They will crawl to index the Getty images to make sure they are not in the training set. Then retrain and in 2 months the problem is solved. They can cut out a sizeable part of the training set without problem, the model will still be good.

They can also OCR the output to make sure there are no blacklisted words and use an index to skip all images that look too similar to the training data. Then the argument of copyright defenders is going to be weakened.

The fact that a prompt and curation are necessary also goes against the "AI works can't be copyrighted" narrative - it's generated by a human-AI team, so human work is part of the process.

The core of the issue I see is that human and AI both learn from the published media but an AI can both "see" and "draw" more than a human, so there is an important distinction there.
I tend to think of the drivers, not as reacting to threats, but navigating an evolving mental model of their surroundings -- with a primary focus on opportunities rather than threats. The mechanism that updates that model doesn't have "training data" with cyclists in the picture.
This. It’s how I got started, since you “buy” this extra time you’re more likely to spend it well.
I emphatically agree that E-Mail clients suck, to the point of wondering whether I should build an E-Mail client (my answer is "probably not").

Instead I did the second best thing and came up with some user styles to make one of the better hosted E-Mail clients, IO.OX (B2B software used by mailbox.org and Strato), a bit more bearable and almost even comfortable: https://gist.github.com/solarkraft/6afcfff8d5283cefad40695c9...

I am curious how do these AI get the data sourced?

Is it the free floating images on the internet or is it the data that we keep on the servers of the BigTech?
That's the thing, it's not a programming language. It's a sequence of declarations. In-spirit very similar to iptables or nftables rules for example.

Documenting things that took time for you to grasp is a great way to learn, in my experience.

A “week of PTO” generally means “however much time you’d usually work in a week”. If you typically work 40 hours per week, 40 hours of PTO is a week of PTO.

I think that around 10 company-selected holidays plus 15 employee-selected days is a fairly typical starting point for tech in the US, with some having more and some having less.

We start at 9 company plus 18 employee chosen days and you get 1 additional employee chosen day per year per year of service up to 5. (So, I’m at 9+23 or 32 days or 6.4 weeks per year now.) We also have half-day Fridays in the summer, so if you take 12 half-days of PTO, you can have 12 summer Fridays off plus 26 other days for 38 or almost 8 weeks off.
AI-generated media in general will likely plunge us into a new dark age. Every report you see on the news, every "secret recording" of a politician doing something dodgy, will be either an AI generated fake or considered as such by many viewers. Nothing will be certain anymore and MSM have already lost their credibility for many viewers.

Brand recognition, enforced by trademarks. You can't stop people from publishing your work under a different name, but they could have cloned it anyways. Or alternatively being in a niche nobody pays attention to.

If a hospital were worked owned and controlled, they’re not gonna bribe their Tory buddies to shutdown public medical services because most people aren’t that ridiculously selfish and no one individual gets wealthy. And if it’s a private hospital, the doctors and nurses will use profits to pay themselves well and cut down on costs, because again, they are face to face with people trying to pay foe their medical care.

It's a very focused and impressive effort. Training from SRAM can be one-two orders of magnitude faster than training from DRAM.

Modern GPUs, even with some process advantage (and no shipments her, H100) strive to be general purpose processors too much, and that caps their peak deep learning performance.

Engagement per user is not the only metric they have. DAU declines are an easy metric they can target. People are quitting Facebook because of these actively hostile patterns. They make, and charge for, money per user. Give the people what they want, and a chronological "updates from my friends" would retain a non-trivial tranche of users.

Separately, I do tend to agree, social media with engagement feedback loops is _bad for most people_ like hard drugs. The sooner folks quit, the better it is for them.
again, why do cyclists not provide opportunity/threat data more or less than other cars?
I would say it's fairly common at tech companies. Right now I've got 22 days + 11 holidays + ~6 additional company wide days off. So almost 8 weeks off not counting sick days. One startup had unlimited PTO and I was taking around 6 weeks off a year not counting holidays.

Not for the driver. This isn't an environmental argument. This is an argument that a pedestrian just has to stand for a moment, a driver just has to slightly move their feet, and a bicyclist has to do a bunch of physically strenuous shit to stop.

edit: I'm not a bicyclist.
I think the most charitable way to respond is to empathize with the person who has spent >=$X monthly for the last N years and did not had contribute that amount to a mortgage instead as an available option. It's easy to respond to your opponent by assuming that all the unbound variables are on your side. What if they aren't?
What you're describing is known as the "two language problem". The long-term solution is to move to fast, high-level languages. I think Julia and LuaJIT are the only examples currently, but surely more will crop up. This is s fundamental problem that will not go away on its own.

Efforts like Numba can alleviate some of the pain of a slow Python, but it turns out it's generally not possible to retroactively fit a JIT compiler onto a language designed not designed to be compiled.

In my experience, once I tried moving my work code to Julia, it became clear to me just how much energy I had spent trying to overcome the performance wall of Python, and I can't imagine going back now.

There are a number of ways to do it, this is is where my images came from:

https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/

With a prompt like this:

"ultra modern apartment, leather furniture, bold dark colors, built-in fireplace"

Add modifiers and other hints to see how it influences the outcome. You can add styles too (eg midcentury modern, shabby chic, etc)

Tinker with the settings on the right (note that most of them will burn more credits per image as you move from the default).

I've tried it with DALL-E and Midjourney and like the output of Stable Diffusion the best (specifically for this type of image, they are all good at some things and bad at others)
While your point about aircraft landings is funny, I'm guessing general aviation in Canada is similar to that of the US. It's not really uncommon for planes to land on highways in the US. Even busy ones. It just isn't very interesting to be honest, so no one makes much point about it. I think the FAA publishes numbers on that sort of thing.
I think it's likely that AI can recognize AI generated images.

This would mean it's always likely to be filterable.

And if not, it's arguable that this pollution becomes an asset. It would be high quality synthetic training data which is commonly intentionally used.

It would also be possible to look for the metadata that accompanies photos taken on phones etc. and weigh that more highly.

'It's the platform, stupid.'

The language is secondary to the platform.

Having fast libraries is great. No one ever wishes that numpy was written in python.

And switching from typescript to kotlin? That's changing platforms. If you're in the browser or in node and replace it with the JVM? That's a wild suggestion to avoid some fast libraries.
