The person you're replying to said "Syncthing ... and ZFS + znapzend + rsync.net" though. You're ignoring the rsync.net part.

I have something similar; it's Nextcloud + restic to AWS S3, but it's the same principle. You can give people the convenience and human-comprehensibility of sync-based sharing, but also back that up too, for the best of both worlds. Though in my case the odds of me needing "previous versions" of things approach zero and a full sync is fairly close to backup, but, even so I do have a full solution here.

Cool idea. My only complaint is that I found the UI for uploading screenshots pretty cumbersome, especially since they weren't initially organized in the order in which I had uploaded them. The small "move up"/"move down" buttons aren't great to work with.
Supplements are expensive, and meat substitutes are expensive, so you are really compounding the cost compared to just eating meat.

Supplements may not necessarily be vegan either. If a supplement you’re taking is a byproduct of meat production, what is even the point?
It's refreshing that people respectfully voice their concerns and the company treats them like shit in response, going so far as to reply condescendingly and block them? That's not refreshing, that's just shitty behaviour and unacceptable in the context of any community.

Over the years, I have found numerous four different bugs in Apple's Calculator app. Here is today's wtf.

Switch calculator to Scientific mode (⌘-2). Type: 1, 0, ^, 2, 0, enter, command-c (to copy), command-v (to paste)

Expected result: an amount in $$$ I wouldn't mind having.
Actual result: smallest number to appear 6 times in Pascal's triangle

I reported all four and they never acknowledged any of them. They didn't fix any of them either. Doesn't motivate anyone to report more bugs to them.

Some of the bugs got auto-closed after a while. Eventually, the bugs did get fixed, except the clipboard thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Bringing up the debt was a useless strawman. The US government is not a corporation, and China definitely doesn't own the majority of the US. China isn't even the largest foreign debt holder either. And foreign debtholders don't hold most US debt - the US does. Be better, these were 4 inaccuracies / fallacies in one statement.

That's exactly how ownership works in the US and other free nations. If foreign citizens own the majority of a private US company and its voting shares, they have control over that company. Taiwan has similar rules. [0]. "Each shareholder of the Corporation shall have a voting right for each share they hold.
Voting rights may be exercised in writing or electronically at the shareholders' meeting of the Corporation."

Taiwan allows significant foreign ownership, even where it is restricted it's set to 60% max (it isn't for TSMC). And they are a democratic, capitalist society, not an authoritarian one like China. And they have many reason to placate Americans, since we're the only thing standing between them and China.

A discretion-minded friend of mine says they do exist, but so do others. If you read "X was hacked by North Korea" and later something happens or is published regarding X, you should not assume that the North Koreans were the only people to hack X.

Good analysis. It's also worth pointing out that this is for 2x 512 bit FMA, which is more than client Ice/Tiger/Rocket lake or Zen4 have.

Personally, I bought HEDT (Skylake-X and Cascadelake) because I wanted 2x 512 bit AVX512. Glad it's cheap in terms of area, and I'm hoping we'll get more options with great vector performance in the future.
Those are all short-term phenomenons, though, providing rapid feedback in both feeling worse and having worse performance.

I mean, sure, it's possible that eating food which makes you feel good (over weeks and months, not just for 1 hour and then w/ a hangover) is actually unhealthy, but it seems unlikely, especially if you're eating traditional foods which your body should have incorporated knowledge of through evolution.

ChatGPT is an awesome friend! here's what they say about starting a presentation:

Here are a few original ways to start a presentation:

Ask a question: You could start your presentation by asking the audience a question related to your topic. This can help to engage them and get them thinking about your topic from the beginning.

Tell a story: You could start your presentation with a short, relevant story that relates to your topic. This can help to grab the audience's attention and set the stage for your main message.

Use a quote: You could begin your presentation with a quote that relates to your topic or resonates with the audience. This can provide a thought-provoking or inspiring opening to your presentation.

Use a statistic: You could start your presentation with an interesting or surprising statistic related to your topic. This can help to grab the audience's attention and show the importance of your topic.

Use multimedia: You could use multimedia, such as videos or slides, to create a visual opening for your presentation. This can help to make your introduction more engaging and memorable.

Use humor: If appropriate, you could start your presentation with a funny joke or anecdote. This can help to lighten the mood and get the audience laughing from the beginning.

Share a personal experience: You could start your presentation by sharing a personal experience that relates to your topic. This can help to make your presentation more relatable and engaging.

Use a prop: You could start your presentation by using a prop that relates to your topic. This can help to grab the audience's attention and set the stage for your main message.

I was responding to the idea in the previous post that it was somehow that tires stop the cars rather than brakes or regenerative braking.

> Brakes don't touch the road, the tire does, so it matters not at all how you apply force to the wheel, from the perspective of the tire-to-road interface it's all the same.

This is not the case. Brakes (or regenerative braking) absorb the energy of motion into heat or stored chemical energy. The tires are not doing the stopping.

> brake pads don't use dynamic friction to stop the car

This is also incorrect. Brake pads are using almost completely dynamic friction to stop the car. From the perspective of the brake bads the tire is moving and from the perspective of the tire the brake pads are moving. There's no static friction involved there.

What you’re talking about is worst case support, which while important, is not typically required all the time.

Portable battery packs and generators, or power on sometimes, but not all the time would be normal.

Same with internet/ISP connections.

Cellphone towers and WiFi would usually work, unless there is a big offensive going on at the time, etc.

That means a lot of the less severe stuff is worth talking about too.

some years later, huh, research shows nobody wants to use our unimaginably painful poison to escape being tortured. Users are stupid and incomprehensible.

> While the Amiga was impressive in the 80's, they failed to continue on that path of technical innovation.

The US market was the largest computer market at the time and the Amiga sales in the US were awful. This left Commodore financially incapable of continuing on the path of technical innovation. Even in the few countries where the Amiga could have been considered a success, UK, Germany and Italy, the vast majority of sales were for the low end and margin A500.
>Using scrum can easily lead to two features deployed to production that logically cannot coexist under certain circumstances. And no, testing doesn't prevent that. Another problem are features that are just very large by nature. They tend to break the repetitive cycle, because they simply don't repeat.

Breaking down features is a skill that not many learn because, unless it's trivial, they believe it to be impossible to begin with.

Good god is it valuable though.

I'm with you on the rest of scrum. It's an awful methodology.
I think the poster is right but, the I have to laugh at statement that VC’s won’t be able to get a 4.5% return on their investment so why bother.

VS’s aren’t in the game for a 4%, 10%, or even 20% return. They’re investing in startups that have the potential to get something like 1,500% or 5,000% returns on their money and many times, they eventually succeed. Sure raising money in a high interest rate environment will be harder but it doesn’t kill the VC model at all.

> but the bottleneck in modern web apps is going to be IO

This is true in some senses, but also, response latency isn't the only thing a web application does or is evaluated by. Many applications have, for example, background jobs, that do arbitrarily complex processing outside of the request/response cycle.

Additionally, people who write web services in Rust talk about decreased memory usage, consistent memory usage, and lower CPU usage. In a cloud context, that can translate directly to revenue saved, by spending less. If that tradeoff is right for you depends on a variety of things, of course. "speed" isn't the only relevant metric that you may want to optimize for.

Looks like Pynecone uses Fastapi under the hood, which is a huge win for me. I can't stand "the Django way" of doing things and find Fastapi's philosophy much more harmonious with the way I think. So if you are the kind of person that enjoys a more functional style, with dependency injection, static types, etc, this is nice. If you like dynamic everything, this is probably less appealing.

Gonna make some bold, dividing claims from the get-go...

I think we can pretty much conclude that Turing test has been passed. Why?

This why:

https://www.reveddit.com/v/WitchesVsPatriarchy/comments/zfr33a/just_broke_up_with_my_bf_and_it_feels_so_fing/

655 upvotes

and

https://www.reveddit.com/v/AmItheAsshole/comments/zeuymn/comment/iz9hzyj/

210 upvotes

Now those posts have been deleted because someone ticked off the mods that the posts were produced by ChatGPT trolls from /g/. Example prompt used:

https://i.imgur.com/uw7yVsm.png

Sure, we can move goalposts in terms of passing Turing test "No, n-not like that! It doesn't count!", but let's be real here- the threads above fooled hundreds of people enough to upvote, engage, comment and the only reason they were taken down was because OP outed himself.

This has caused increasing paranoia among forum users. I've even noticed that I myself can no longer tell if the ycombinator comment, reddit or 4chan post are real or generated and I found myself reading the posts which look more amateurish, written with errors or in a speedy manner (like the one I'm currently producing RIGHT NOW)

So finally, my predictions:

-> General content fatigue from ever-increasing textual content

-> Increasing paranoia about legitimacy of commentators (are these even real people?)

-> Commentators adopting randomized writing styles (with errors on purpose and just a weird style) - to differentiate from "sterile" AI outputs.

-> AI trolls adopting these changes (injecting some weird randomization in generated content, mistake on purpose)

-> Platforms introducing steganography filters for users to check if user's writing suddenly changes or goes out of bounds (similar to AI checking chess games to see if you make moves within your range of Elo)

-> Gradual transfer to video platforms with "blue checkmarks" where it's harder to cheat (hello TikTok, YT Reels). People will trust real faces and influencers more.

-> New sites like video, audio boards replacing reddit and old-school forums (harder to fake video and audio). Think clubhouse+reddit with histories.

-> Then people will realize they can still use AI to generate content for their video, audio text but AT LEAST they will have some human input and it won't be just bots leading to dead internet theory.

-> Eventually it will be just video, because probably within few years voice generation will be immaculate

My name's Sean! I'm reading Children of Time. It's amazing and thought-provoking, thank you for all your hard work.

I'm also really big into ants and was stoked when I read about ants on your world and their interactions with the crystal / messenger.

I'm writing some software as a hobby. It's going to be something like an online Tamagotchi meets mental health app. I'm trying to get people journaling and meditating by having them nurture a virtual pet.

To that effect, I decided the virtual pet would be an ant colony. I then started trying to build some lore around it. A daily-check in means there's a window of time when the check-in occurs, kind of like when the satellite had LOS to the ant colony. The satellite had a biologist on it. Makes sense that biologist would take notes on their ants and I can draw parallels to that to promote journaling, etc.

I just wanted to be respectful of your work and let you know that I was planning on building something that honors a small sliver of the lore you outlined in one of your books. I'm not ripping verbatim, taking any of the names, there are no spiders, etc. If you felt incredibly strongly about wanting me to avoid this then I'd respect that. Conversely, if you were curious to hear more about how I am riffing on your idea, then I'd be happy to elaborate or share more.

Anyway. Hope you are well over there. Thanks again for all the content. Cheers.

Sean
You seem risk-averse, and that’s OK. But you aren’t in any position to tell other people what level of risk or action to take to maintain or improve their lives.

People are free to choose and they take on the consequences of their choices, good or bad.
Yeah, it really cheapens the effort the US has put in their surveillance network to compare it with the chumps at Stasi writing some stuff down on paper...

they said average should be 80m deep sleep, and one guy had 2 hours deep sleep lol
Your first assumption is wrong. Food and water are necessities, of course, but you can survive without either for days (outside of extreme weather environments) and they're also very portable. Communications are an urgent and ongoing need, for military actors and civilians. Without them you are not only in a bad situation, you have little idea of where to go. Military communications manuals contemplate up to 5 levels of communication for different contexts, from wraparound digital services to smoke signals and the use of secret symbols for identification/navigation.

You are right about communications infrastructure, which is a favored target in any militarized conflict. Mesh networking offers a workaround to communications breakdown, albeit at the cost of bandwidth and deployment effort. LoraWAN devices are quite cheap at the margin (under $10 in bulk) but hardening, powering, and installing them is labor-intensive, to put it mildly.

If someone has revenue $10M per year, I guess it would be more than 1. Also probably they would get discount in stripe if some trusted business has revenue in that range.
How wouldn't this bill constitute government intervention? The government would be making it illegal for any person or business to run a social media platform that transmits the speech of minors, even if they want to run such a platform.
Yes, multiple redundancies prevented complete failure unlike other platforms.

> I definately think the upsides of freetrade out weigh the downsides

Why? Why is it better to actively facilitate the act of paying an assassin than it is to not do that?

> if we lived in a society where all flow of money goes through some govement entity

Lovely strawman you've built there. However, I don't think I claimed that all money should flow through some government entity. For the record, I don't think it should. Making the act of paying for an assassination illegal != making some government entity responsible for the flow of all money. Holding both the assassin and the payer responsible for either killing somebody or conspiring to kill somebody doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

> we would be in reality some button presses away from Orwell style dystopia.

Loads of on-shore wind is likewise not metered. If you own a hill top farm, especially if you have industrial electricity loads (e.g. milking cows, lighting barns full of hens) it makes loads of sense to buy a modest turbine and install it on a suitable rise, it won't pay for itself over night but it's very competitive with other farm investments and not correlated. If electricity prices go up the turbine is better value, regardless of whether people are paying higher farm gate prices or your yields increased.

I think the estimate is that maybe as much as 5GW of UK wind nameplate capacity is unmetered, so it's a minority of wind power, but it's a big minority.
P.S.: To be clear, I'm reacting on one hand from this bit from the article :

> She also disapproved of toys, fairy tales and fantasy.

[...]

> She especially disliked the fantastic lies told to children – the tooth fairy and Father Christmas and stories with talking animals. She saw them as an indulgence on the part of adults:

> > We are amused by the illusions, the ignorance and the errors of the immature mind, just as at a not very remote date we were amused to see an infant laugh when it was tossed up and down, a proceeding now condemned by infantile hygiene as wrong and dangerous in the extreme. In short, it is we who are amused by the Christmas festivities and the credulity of the child.

And on the other hand the hypocritical way in how many Christians classified Christian magic as "not magic" and then decreed magic to be evil (partially as a way to compete with paganism I guess ?)
