The problem is that those people you are talking about already are the first victims of automation. They have to work two jobs because just one doesn't pay enough when a company can automate it cheaper. The road ahead is not nicely paved, a lot more people will suffer before a fully automated abundant world.

So despite your disingenuous reading of my comment it is not "Oh, poor me I will be bored!", it's "Is the goal we're heading for worth the price?" and I don't think it is.

There are ways to fix people needing two jobs to feed their family that isn't spelled "automation" or "AI".

Spot on.
I stand corrected. It looks like there's both a deb and a snap [1].

I now remember getting confused about which one to install, mentally making a note about Docker having been snap'ified, and counting one more strike (perhaps the final one) towards eradicating snap from my system.

Assuming the post is irony, is this what you'd call a false flag? :)
McMurdo is one of the major logistics hubs for the entire continent, this means that it has a relatively high population (~1000 in summer), but also that a lot of people pass through on their way to other parts of Antarctica. It's definitely not a situation where everyone knows everyone else.
I agree, it'll probably be scrubbed from the frontpage shortly. It's sad that this is the case, especially since it's published in a scientific journal.
Same experience here, as a GTA SA:MP operator. That's probably how I started with commandline Linux

> I wonder why this wasn't built on top of, or an enhancement to, the existing (excellent) multicorn[1] project

Have to agree with you there, multicorn is extremely cool. I'm a big sqlalchemy fan so their default SQLA wrapper was a killer feature to give up (although maybe we could do something similar with launchbadge/sqlx[1]). We investigated using multicorn early this year and had a few hiccups. Activity on the original repo[2] quieted way down ~3 years ago. For example, pg14 support hasn't landed and the newest supported python version is EOL in 2022. There is new fork[3] with pg14 support (15 in the pipe) that might pick up in adoption but thats still TBD.

Supabase aims to support new major Postgres versions within 2-3 months so we have to be very careful taking on dependencies that might slow that process.

> I'd love to understand more about the technical rationale that drove this.

Architecturally, multicorn has postgres communicate with a separate python process on the host that does all the hard work. That's convenient, but it can bloat over time and/or be memory hungry for larger result sets. The rust implementation runs in-process and is generally a lot lighter.

Currently I'd say supabase/wrappers is a safer/easier version of the C API vs a direct analog to multicorn. Over time I think we'll see that comparison become more appropriate. There's a lot of excitement around the concept internally and we've already been floating some ideas wrt `auto-mapping` tables for common SQL dialects, a generic JSON HTTP API wrapper, etc. Stay tuned!

We coerced young, low-risk people into receiving these treatments despite known side effects on pain of losing their education or employment or being able to enter privately-owned establishments (irrespective of the wishes of the owners of those privately-owned establishments).

We justified it with the specious argument that they were putting other people at undue risk by remaining unvaccinated. We claimed that vaccinated people would not spread the virus.

And we gave the companies producing these vaccines blanket legal immunity from any potential liability.
Then may I ask why you're shoehorning it into the conversation in such an unsubstantial way? Seems more like a cheap jab than a worthwhile opinion.
Myocarditis is rare and has been a part of the discussion from even before the vaccines were released, or at least the professional discussion. They were why the vaccines were not recommended for all ages to begin with.
This argument makes no sense. Why would "less than average" referees block a paper? And why would editors select referees from the population at random? I don't know about other fields, but that's certainly not how things work in physics.

I would say it's more like a club where everyone knows each other. If you are authoring a paper you often know who the potential referees are (those that published most in the field), and you politely ask the editor to exclude referees that are in open conflict with you. Editors usually abide and you get a reasonable review of your paper.

I agree about most other issues raised about peer review in general and related incentives, but the issues raised here are not some that I recognize.
Which company? YouTube isn't paying you? Serious accusation, would be worth a longer (public) post.

Around here, I'm pretty unwelcome at things like tech meetups. I stopped going, after experiencing the "circle of avoidance" thing, a few times.

New York ageism is even worse than Silicon Valley.

No one wants to know me, and I'm OK with that, as I get a lot done, anyway, and the people that matter to me (all over the world) are part of my circle.
Exactly, they are asking for technology that can shift their industry. They aren't asking for Tesla's baggage any more than a request for "Uber for X" implies they want a company that will ignore regulatory requirements.
They're talking about the AI.

Wow that's nothing.
Typically when tech companies go public, the predatory features begin as they now have to demonstrate they can generate profit and have a duty to do so. Given that Reddit already engages in behavior that could be described this way, in what ways can it become more severe? If the changes so-far haven't run everyone off, will this be their V4 moment?
Eventually there aren't enough fingers to plug all the holes in the dike.
Because the charity can expense things you can use without anyone paying taxes on anything.

Charity holds a conference at a resort, that's an operating expense. Present are the officers of the company, which is you and your friends and family. All expenses for the charity, paid from the million, and therefore untaxed.

The lack of empathy is incredibly depressing...

You're projecting your own fears on everyone else. I'm a programmer, too, among other things. I write code in order to get other things done. (Don't you?) It's fucking awesome if this thing can do that part of my job. It means I can spend my time doing something even more interesting.

What we call "programming" isn't defined as "writing code," as you seem to think. It's defined as "getting a machine to do what we (or our bosses/customers) want." That part will never change. But if you expect the tools and methodologies to remain the same, it's time to start thinking about a third career, because this one was never a good fit for you.

This argument has come up many times in history, and your perspective has never come out on top. Not once. What do you expect to be different this time?
Everything should be open for research, and that shouldn't be political. I took the vaccine, but I'd like for more research to be done.

> but we can imagine that artists would be OK with that

No they won't. If AI art was just as good as it is today, but didn't use copyrighted images in the training set, people would absolutely still be finding some other thing to complain about.

Artists just don't want the tech to exist entirely.
> The whole point of art is human expression.

For someone seeking sound/imagery/etc. resulting from human expression (i.e., art), it makes sense that it can't be automated away.

For someone seeking sound/imagery/etc. without caring whether it's the result of human expression (e.g., AI artifacts that aren't art), it can be automated away.
Other people are saying "get a lawyer" ... you're not going to need a lawyer, but multiple lawyers. One for you, one for the LLC, one for each of the shareholders, etc.

It's possible this situation sits right on the boundary of "costs too much to fix". That would suck.

I've been in similar sitations. I once spent a week calling up lawyers, getting no response. I took the hint.

In a different state, I got some very good free legal advice (about 5 minutes worth), which was "there isn't enough money at stake to persue this."

So good luck with the lawyer thing - it might work out.

If you can't get legal advice, consider filing a criminal complaint. Start with federal agencies. Personally, I'd start with the US Secret Service (forging shares), be prepared to be referred to another agency.
There's no fundamental difference between burning a synthetic fuel or burning a fossel fuel and sequestering the resulting carbon. Both are zero-carbon.

Yes, sequestration can go negative-carbon, but that doesn't help anybody who has a difficult to replace fuel burning process.
> Tarpit Ideas

> Carbon removal credits on the blockchain. Using blockchain technology to solve the double-counting of carbon credits is an attractive idea but in our experience it’s just a technology choice and a small piece of the product you ultimately have to build.

I can't believe how often I hear this reasoning from people: Carbon credits have a double-counting problem? Blockchains prevent "double-spend"! Perfect solution! But as the quote points out, double-counting of carbon credits is not a software problem.

At Jasmine, we're tokenizing climate assets but not to prevent "double-spend."

I've been mulling the question of whether fares should be free recently.

Yes it gets people out of cars, yes it's progressive.

But on the other hand, you don't get much signal of how it's actually valued. And if it is valued, surely it turns regressive by gentrifying areas served by free transport, forcing the poorest away.

Not that I think public transport should be for profit.
AFAIK the majority of Zigbee products only act as end device nodes and don't act as routers. So they won't actually be doing anything to extend the mesh.

The main benefits of ZWave over Zigbee is superior penetration, improved interoperability, and reduced interference with WiFi devices.

One of the biggest issues with Zigbee is vendors selling devices that only work with their gateway. As a consumer it sucks because it's rare for a single vendor to excel or even offer devices in every product category.
Probably just a more secure way to latch the door when there's lots of wind and snow attempting to push the door in.

Environment makes a huge difference for me: recently bought myself one of those SAD lamps and switched to working 08:00-16:00 rather than 09:00-17:00 and my general mood has increased 10x; leading to a significant productivity/motivation boost.

I'm not saying that a new lamp will fix your problems but try to be mindful of your working environment and conditions and see what changes you can make to make yourself generally more comfortable.

Other examples include finding a way to further compartmentalise your work, for instance by becoming uncontactable on your work channels outside of work hours.

Further, improve your general health: drink more water and less coffee, make sure you see the sun for at least half an hour a day, take vitamins, socialise more, do more exercise; all the usual health-nutjob advice in as large a dose as you can stand - all of these things have tangible effects on mood which is a huge player in motivation.

You said sleep has a big impact so try getting really strict about your bed time and waking up on time. Try anything and everything and don't be put off when 90% of the new habits you try to cultivate don't stick. You'll figure out what is important to maintaining your mental health by experimentation and observation.

Concentrated mindfulness and a rigid attitude towards work/life separation have done more for my executive dysfunction than any revolutionary to-do list app or task organising framework.
Not the original commenter on this thread, but I wrote about this here: https://blog.parttimetech.io/p/fix-gender-inequality-hire-pa...

But TLDR, whether by preference, or because there's no better choice, much of the gender wage gap can be attributed to the fact that women are usually the primary caretaker when kids come along. Part-time roles can be a good way to give women (but really any parent) more options on how to balance career and family. At least in the US tech industry, often times the answer is really work or quit without many intermediary options (that are well known at least).

I think Racket Scheme is an excellent place to start. "All batteries included", bundled multi-platform IDE (also great with Emacs).
The vaccines were and still are mandated for people not at risk of severe disease, and myocarditis has been framed as a side effect not worth worrying about despite the fact that it literally can kill you. Not to mention without understanding the mechanism of action, we cannot estimate the number of true deaths that occurred without a myocarditis diagnosis.
I think we are hitting the flywheel stage where AI is going to be able to start improving its own architecture and performance. Biggest thing holding AI back right now is performance efficiency. Will be interesting to see how AI is used to come up with chip designs and maybe even improvements on its own model. AI can effectively bootstrap itself and improve itself so it can then improve itself again

I'm not really sure if this is the direction you want to pursue, but have you tried to develop skills that primarily don't require a high IQ? E.g. crafting, entertainment or tourism. Here in Germany, crafters are very needed & get a good salary, which seems important to you. If you get a "Meister" title & found your own company later in your career, you could potentially even earn more than in the fields your classmates graduated.
As someone that runs a platform for people to get to edit and control the HTML of their content I extra appreciate the snarkiness, but the point is to use a format humans can more easily/cleanly edit, and focus on document oriented display of data where the browser/reader decides/controls styling vs the platform and you don't have to fight back against a trustless code execution engine trying to attack you while you read a news article.

It would be a pleasant and interesting contrast to the giant anti-user Rube Goldberg machine browsers have turned into (err actually just two browsers both funded by the same company because the nightmareish complexity makes it impossible to do competing browser implementations).

Feel free to call my idea stupid (it is) but let's not pretend HTML and the current implementation of the web is some sort of perfect ultimate gold standard we can't improve upon.
HATEOAS [1], i.e. you discover the available operations dynamically. In my opinion totally impractical unless the service is directly consumed by humans or you are building some kind of naked objects application [2] with all its implications.

The expected result I was told was every day, I should have 6hrs of total time logged, and each individual entry should end in 00, 15, 30 or 45.

How people track that seems to be up to them, I’m using a pomodoro timer app that let me change the time to 30min for now and just filling in the time sheet at the end of the day.

If I cared enough, I could automate that as well I think, but it appears I’d have to do that on my own time unless it’s during my currently ticking down 30min break I can track haha.

From my experience playing factorio, the best way to approach it is to plan out the areas you are building to allow future "backtracking" possible - increase space between buildings, ensure new "roads" are "reasonably" arranged to allow future expansion, etc. An example of this is ensuring that driveways/building distances are a certain minimum from the road, allowing you to expand a 2 lane road to 3, etc.

You build your infrastructure to, or just past the edges of what you know is being built, and make sure you reserve space past that to accompany further expansion.

The lets you expand the ~factory~ city while still allowing some sanity to the underlying infrastructure.

* This will likely apply to anything that needs both preplanning and unknown future expansion such as codebases

Several years ago while at a university for CS, I was doing a senior class where I was doing whatever an assigned professor wanted me to help with. I was given two identical ThinkPads and a mid-2012 MacBook Pro and told to figure out a network partitioning problem involving virtual machines.

Since the ThinkPads were running Windows, those were pretty forgettable. But as soon as I opened up the MacBook Pro and turned it on, my first thought was "This is a workstation."

At the time my personal laptop was a 11" MacBook Air. Currently I use a 2014 Mac mini and a mid-2012 MBP, which I bought used because of that faithful encounter.

I've never been able to elicit that initial reaction I had to the MBP since owning one myself. It's one of those things like how a single bite of someone else's food tastes better than the whole dish you end up ordering for yourself.

As an aside, I bought a SPARCstation IPC for $25 from someone on IRC around 2001.
Find/Search Reddit conversations/comments
I started working on a website that can serve as a library for videos that are more conversation oriented. Logged in users can submit, search, like, comment, and browse right now

As part of this, I realized I search comments on reddit to find what people are talking about or what the general opinion is on something. So I started indexing the comments and exposed a search on the site to allow finding conversations on reddit

Around 250k comments have been indexed and I will continue indexing more

Not really. I'd like to see it succeed, though, as it can help a lot of people.

> I have friends who have lost a lot of money to various schemes, and they sounded just like you sound here when I tried to talk to them about it

I've lost no money on Bitcoin and I've been in it since ~2013 (I do a simple dollar cost averaging scheme to do a daily buy and when I can, accept it as payment for my services). I have a deep disdain for MLM schemes. I don't "need" it to be true, I'd like it to be true.

If people fail to "get it," I'm not going to have an existential crisis. At worst, it will just confirm my suspicion that the majority of the world's population lacks the intelligence to free themselves from tyranny (ironically, by design via state education) and are forever-destined to be enslaved. I'll still be in my backyard picking vegetables. Might even have a soda. Or I'll be in some dystopian prison singing Promised Land [1] by Elvis Presley and throwing my shit at the wall.
