I take what I saw of Edge's behaviour in 2015 when Win 10 was being installed on retail laptops, as a good "clear" hint where M$ plans to eventually head.

I was asked as a favour to look at a laptop that was having "issues" (ultimately resolved by uninstalling Mc Afee which was preventing a network connection via a usb dongle - other normal paths familiar in earlier M$ OSes to investigate / resolve I noted had been locked down - which M$ I heard later, wound back.) This laptop was only two weeks from purchase, and relatively untouched and I arrived not planning to do anything drastic but resolve a connection issue.

I expected Edge to work with caveats, what I wasn't expecting, would be best described as a hidden "disallow" list where the action was simply printing a white page, no error, no nothing. Not even Abode's flash. Of course it remained a mystery to me for an hour or so, until Firefox was installed.

The problem was with installing a new browser was searching for it on the web if one hadn't brought a copy. Edge iirc wasn't doing that well either, as I'd had no luck trying to download a couple of good tools I resort to dig deeper into what setting Mc Afee had altered.

Eventually I realised M$ had not removed IE, it worked as expected, which allowed me to find the latest version of Firefox.

We definitely need to make this more obvious, but you can import an OPML. I usually just drag it from my downloads folder into the app, but it also works if you use the 'upload file' command.

The language is a little different than folders/tags (and believe me, I stan folders the one and only time I ever hit the front page of HN it was for an article written in defense of using folders for notetaking) but you can get basically the same effect with filtered views.

The only option that Postgres's materialized views give you is to "refresh" the view, meaning: re-run the query used to define the view, fetching an entirely new dataset, and use that to replace all the existing data in the view.

There's no facility for deltas, or any other way of propagating changes.

Edit: And to answer your original question, yes you can absolutely base the materialized view on data obtained from a foreign table.

That's not it

We've proactively organized our economy to produce these kinds of hostile outcomes. It's not the technology that's the problem, it's the unquestioned assumptions of how we've collectively presumed it will be used.

We could build things for the collective benefit of humanity but that concept is extraordinarily foreign to us. We've become all Hayek, all the way down and these are the consequences; where all forms of progress can only be imagined as new forms of abuse and enslavement.

That's how it fuels reactionary conservatism. Everything is privatized so these exciting scientific breakthroughs can only be seen through a lens of hierarchy and property and the autocratic despotism that comes with that.

We could break that cycle any time...

>> Even if there is a very strong neurological similarity between memories and experiences, we know that they can’t be exactly the same. “People don’t get confused between them,”

What about PTSD? The theory behind EMDR therapy is that the experience didn't get fully processed and stored as a normal memory, but is in effect "stuck" part way where it continues to be a trigger for current inputs. The "R" is for reprocessing, which is the unstickung and storing that resolves the PTSD.
IMO it’s impossible with the idea that survival=work. It’s evident here, with people desperately fighting against AI art because it’ll take away people’s jobs. It’s not even just that, though. It’s also the belief that AI art takes away from human art, as if AI chess existing makes Magnus vs. Niemann less exciting.

That same work=survival idea is what incentivizes competitiveness and of course, under that construct, some humans will put on their competitive goggles and exploit others.

There are a lot of human constructs that need to fade away before we can get to a fully automated world. But that’s okay. Humans aren’t the type to get stuck on a problem forever.
> The city may not build up in the way the planners anticipated.

It might not, but planners have a lot of forcing functions.

For example, if they build a transformational backbone, and nobody uses some part of it, they can fix it, by say, moving major government offices to that area. Residents, other businesses, services will follow suit.

What doesn't work is half-assed planning, where you have a grand, but myopic vision, implement it, and never adjust after-the-fact.

It seems pretty obvious that documents they are withholding are the ones they should have released. Why else would they not release them all.

A good tactic to avoid disclosure is to censor much more than actually needs to be censored from the start and then later when public absolutely demands the release THEN release the parts for which there was no reason to withhold them to begin with.

I mean what could possibly be the reason to release some but not all of the documents? There must be some reason. If names and phone-numbers need to be protected then black them out but don't hide whole documents.
I actually like Option 3 the best even more than sass syntax.

That was not what was at issue in my comment. It referred to a sentence where the Parent was not talking about Stable Diffusion in particular, but about what he claimed was a general difference from the usual conditions since the industrial revolution. My comment merely referred to the fact that this is not generally true everywhere (in most specific cases, of course, it may very well be true). In this context, the real difference, however, with regard to Stable Diffusion is not the involuntary nature of the artists' "contributions", but the fact that the artists are not usually the developers of the AI software. In this respect, the Parent is right that for them all this comes from "the outside". It is just that I wanted to point out that this does not apply equally to all professional groups.

I am not aware of what was the case historically (roughly before I was vaccinated as a kid), but I will point out the switch happened before covid- around 2015- and was fairly partisan.

It's not an unreasonable position, or lacking in common sense, to insist that any new drug, particularly one using new technology that has not been used before, have more than one year of testing before it is made mandatory, regardless of the assurances of scientists.

Furthermore, entering the military requires accepting a predefined list of vaccines and that is understood when entering - but adding new vaccines requires following the USC Code, which if you read, I can fully understand why some would feel very uncomfortable with it, and may feel that their protections against being "guinea pigs" have been ran around, as the USC Code would imply that this should not have happened so easily.

> like when Insteon shut down

Agreed, though I am not reliant on the Insteon company for anything but parts, since it's an entirely local protocol. And they're producing new parts again! I was also in a bit lucky of a position: I had plenty of spare hardware on hand while the company was shut down.

> IP seems the simplest option

If security is unimportant, sure. Insteon hardware has been around for three decades, but nobody in their right mind would be using network hardware from back then. This is a case of where complexity kills. Home hardware needs to work for decades.

> Plan when Insteon went belly up

I use their PLM interface which is just a COM port on my PC. The company's existence has no impact on my ability to connect it to newer things.
True, but you probably will get more before the battery becomes unusable in total.

It would be very nice if batteries were super predictable as in 'perfect until the 6 thousandth cycle and then dead', instead you get this gradual drop-off to the point where a battery is no longer usable for its intended purpose. Whether or not that is at 60% of the original capacity or not is moot if it doesn't make it to the 60% in the first place (lots of batteries get murdered well before the end of their design life), on the other hand if that means that the drop-off itself slows down then you might be able to get much more life out of them when treated carefully.

The big ones - in my experience, which is obviously not the final word on this - is to ensure that you don't charge batteries when they're very cold, that you don't use currents in excess of what they're made for (and preferably a bit below that) and that you don't subject them to mechanical stress. If you live by those rules you can make them stretch for a very long time, enough for technology itself, rather than that battery, to make your battery obsolete.

Witness the old lead-acid batteries used in cars, telephone switch boards and submarines. In cars they would last a couple of years at best, in telephone switch boards and submarines they would routinely outlast the rest of the installation.
I follow plenty of artists on Elon's hellsite and professional artists of all stripes are upset about it. Jobs are already disappearing, being replaced entirely by AI and "prompt engineers" or people just using AI to copy someone's style for their portfolio. Granted, it isn't endemic yet, but the big Indiana Jones stone ball of progress is definitely rolling in that direction.

YC was very early to climatetech with a RFS for water back in 2017.

Most people don't equate watertech with climatetech, but climate change is primarily a water crisis—flood & drought—and we need more entrepreneurs in watertech.

I'm super intrigued by this, and feel like I'm 99% overlap in a Venn diagram with the target user, BUT… when the browser plugin immediately requested the ability to see everything I did on every site I ever visited (and the first one it asked me about was my employer's wiki with trade secrets galore), I clicked "deny" and moved on.

Might still be worth a shot on personal devices, but with the say Safari syncs history across devices via iCloud, I'm not so sure…

Is it still demonstrably better than other reading apps (Reeder, Instapaper, etc.) without the plugin?
"Accidental plagiarism" is cases where you heard it before and are imitating it without intent. Intent does matter, but copying is copying!

This is not a "common misconception". It's how the system works! I'm not saying it should work that way, but that's how it works.

A series of notes is not an idea, it's a composition. That's just how it is. You can have the idea for a composition, perhaps even for a note progression you want to work into it in your head, but once you've made a composition, it is no longer just an "idea". Obviously there has to be a line somewhere, you shouldn't be able to copyright a sequence of 3 notes, but that's a question of law. Are you a lawyer? If so, I'll defer to you on this.

> Should the author be entitle to copyright over every combination of characters imaginable simply because they wrote them down?

Writing down a series of characters is kind of the definition of authoring a work, yeah. So I would expect they have the copyright if they wrote it down, unless someone else wrote them down first. Should it work that way? Maybe not.
As long as you aren't killing or hurting other billionaires was the key part of my statement.

We have rule of law for disputes between aristocrats (mostly), but still immunity for aristocrats when it comes to lower classes.

| At the end of the day, are these just FDWs that run on top of any Postgres instance?

Yes, the FDWs developed by Wrappers can be used on any Postgres db.

| Do I have to run Supabase to take advantage of the FDWs created through this framework?

No, you don't need to. Those are just normal FDWs can be used on any Postgres db.

| Is there a generic JDBC/SQL/etc FDW for any SQL based database like Snowflake, Oracle, etc?

The Snowflake FDW isn't developed yet, the example is just for concept demo. It has ClickHouse and BigQuery FDWs although they are not JDBC based. Generic JDBC FDW will need JVM embedded so it is not in plan at this moment.

> basic income or revolution

I’ve been trying to play through the scenario in my head. At least in terms of software developers being replaced by AI, I think we’re going to first see AI doing work in parallel or under monitor by humans. Basically, Google will take AI and send it off to do work that they lack the staff to do. Now, on the other hand, they could also temporally play it out where first they feign an inability to staff people due to finances so there are layoffs/terminations, and then maybe a quarter later they replace those people with low cost AI compute time that is orders of magnitude more productive.

In any case, AI disrupting people’s ability to feed, shelter, and clothe themselves is sure to trigger a pretty brutal and hostile response, which would be grounds for legislation and perhaps a class war.

The weird part is that if the potential of AI is truly orders of magnitude expansion beyond what we already have, then the longterm surely has room for a tiny little mankind fief. But, in order to get to the long term our hyper-competitive technocratic overlords may strangle out part of or all of the rest of us while justifying accelerating through the near-term window to achieve AI-dominance.
Gregor Kiczales, one of the guys behind the MOP, gave a retrospective on the MOP [1], in which he did touch on the influence of Brian C. Smith's Ph.D. thesis and 3-Lisp. One thing he said (as I recall - I'm paraphrasing here) was that 3-Lisp got quoting right, and if he'd read Smith's thesis a tenth (!) time he might have understood that in time to make the requisite changes to the MOP. I want to read the thesis myself, but it's something like 700+ pages.

It may be clearer to those of you who are smarter than me, but I guess I've only recently begun to appreciate what these experiments show--that AI graphical art, literature, music and the like will not succeed in lowering the barriers to humans making things via machines but in training humans to respond to art that is generated by machines. Art will not be challenging but designed by the algorithm to get us to like it. Since such art can be generated for essentially no cost, it will follow a simple popularity model, and will soon suck like your Netflix feed.
Former Twitter Employee Sentenced to 42 Months for Acting as a Foreign Agent
Which mandate are you talking about?
Yeah. I figured an obligate contrarian was gonna gotcha me. Sometimes big companies do layoffs.

I stand corrected.

But, then again, the CEO does say: "we are not yet profitable: we’ve taken full advantage of outside capital to speed our growth. That was good stewardship in a time when interest rates were low and venture capital was widely available on good terms. But economic conditions have changed and we believe that it’s no longer prudent to rely on outside capital to support us"

I just don't know what to make of it. It was a healthy company.

> it doesn't seem like it being a startup had any impact

A true mystery.
Total aside, and I have absolutely no solution for this, but: Perhaps the meta-meta-meta-problem here is that our industry is seemingly fundamentally unable to let go of flawed solutions from decades ago. Of which we have a lot -- by necessity. It's pretty much impossible to know the important flaws before something has been established and used widely enough, after which point replacing them becomes a herculean task because they have been calcified into the bedrock of our infrastructure.

There are so many examples of this:

- DNS (for a lot of other reasons than domain names)
- IPv4
- TCP (see the motivation for QUIC)
- a *lot* of incredibly obscure text encodings
- IBM 3270 control codes
- Sometimes even just ancient code no one understands anymore (search for the source code of Plan 9's `troff` for an example)
- …and so on and so forth

…and if someone wants to tackle such a situation, usually the outcome is either:

- build another hack to add to the pile of hacks we won't be able to get rid of
- XKCD 927 (n+1 competing standards, because the old one will live on for ever anyway)
- face second system syndrome (resulting in an overcomplicated mess)
- get no traction because not enough people will switch to your new and shiny solution (due to the other calcified things in the stack or new flaws with the new solution)

So, my question: How should our civilization deal with this?
