Theoretically, you could add a third type of charge related to the externalities associated with your consumption. I'm not sure exactly how the accounting would work, but maybe an escalating fee based on the amount you consume. My utility actually does this with electricity, where the rate goes up after your first 1000 kWh. Obviously this could get more elaborate.
While we are on the topic, I would like to point out that the decoupled nature of microservices is governed by queuing theory. Microservices are especially susceptible to positive feedback loops and cascading failures.

Going back to systems thinking, flow control (concurrency and rate limiting) and API scheduling (weighted fair queuing) are needed to make these architectures work at any scale. Open source projects such as Aperture[0] can help tackle some these issues.

Seek actual conversations.

Maybe Korean Associations, travel, find an online chat buddy you can facetime if nobody locally.

Weird side story, when I lived in Mongolia many people would pay me not to learn English but just to have a conversation with a native english speaker. They were motivated to not just learn but also to get better.
>Part of the reason LLMs aren't that big in the grand scheme of things is because they haven't been good enough and businesses haven't started to really adopt them. That will change, but the costs will be high because they're also extremely expensive to run. I think the author is focusing on the training costs for now, but that will likely get dwarfed by operational costs. What then?

Now maybe I'm naive somehow because I'm a machine-learning person who doesn't work on LLMs/big-ass-transformers, but uh... why do they actually have to be this large to get this level of performance?
> Can somebody explain where the return on investment comes from in residential solar?

During the run-up on housing prices over the last couple of years, there was a belief that an owned solar system would raise your house's sale price in much the same way that a kitchen or bathroom renovation would.

Couple that with the supply and labor constraints, which made it hard to get the panels, battery, and installers you wanted in a timely basis - that raised the perceived home value yet again, because if you wanted to add your own solar later, it wasn't seen as easily doable.

I don't know that the ROI was ever great, but with both of those factors gone today, it's worse than it ever was. (Source: shopped for homes in 2020-2021, bought in 2022, tried to get solar installed, ROI made no sense.)
Something you know is long gone, even passwords right now are something you have: your password manager.

Unlike passwords, passkeys use public key cryptography. The server (e.g. Github) only stores your public key. You have the private key (e.g. in your phone). If the server leaks data, there's no way for an attacker to reconstruct the private key. Moreover, kind of by design, you're going to have a different passkey per site.

These two properties are very similar to using strong and unique passwords across sites that you can really trust. Note that with passwords you have to trust the site (to handle your password securely), with passkeys you get that for free.

The real new property is phishing resistance. When you log in with a passkey, the hostname of the website that you're visiting is signed as part of the auth data that's sent to the server. If you're on github.com, your auth data will contain a signature on github.com; if you're on a phishing site fake-github.com, the data will contain fake-github.com -- the phisher/attacker will get this second data. If the phisher/attacker tries to reuse your auth data on the real github.com, the verification will fail (it's probably easier to picture than to explain...). With passwords, you get phished.
I can see that you're paying attention to what they "annexed" but nobody except maybe the defunct Syrian government and some other puppets care about what Russia "annexed" and what not. The Czech Republic has recently "annexed" Kaliningrad.
Maybe "decode"? As in "decode a Unicode string", or "decode a JPEG image", or "decode an MP3 audio file."
Not at all.

Sure if one likes to make things harder than they are supposed to be, there are lots of paths down that road.
Were you doing satire? Let me know and I'll un-downvote you.
Tax overconsumption of housing: if you're alone or a couple in a 6 bedroom house, you pay. Doubly so in areas with shortages. Doubly so for people in areas where there are jobs and the people are not employed.

Right now, people overconsume because they own the underlying property. If they had to pay cash rent for the same property, they would move. And if they didn't then various taxes would be due on that income. Instead they freeride and externalise the cost of the consumption.

Another alternative is a mass, semi local infrastructure program. One of the reason prices and rents are so high in some places is because there are a very limited number of places you can live and access the city centre within 1h. So we should build a tonne of light rail lines around these cities linking empty areas to them. This is how cities are meant to grow, but it requires government involvement beyond the US political model (investments that take more than 1 election cycle to pay off, reductions in property prices, municipal and rural (and state and federal) governments working together. The same is true here in the UK with London.
Different workplaces will punish or reward these personalities in very different ways.

In my experience, if a company rewards disagreeable people who use shady tactics, politics, and power plays by giving them more power, it's not going to be a good place to work.

On the other hand, a culture that legitimately rewards people who play well together and reduces the influence of people who use politics and other games, there's a good chance it's going to be a good place to stay for many years.

I suspect a lot of people start their careers in the first type of company (rewards bad behavior) and assume it's totally normally. It's the only environment they know, so they assume all workplaces operate by the same rules. When you think all workplaces are equally bad, you start losing motivation to find a better culture at a different company. You might also start imitating some of the bad behavior that seems to be working out for other people. In a way, disagreeableness and office politics are contagious.

My advice to anyone who thinks that it's normal for companies to reward the "bad" employees at the expense of the "good" employees is that you might be at a company with backwards priorities. Consider prioritizing good peer references in your next job search to find a company that is better at these things. No workplace is perfect, but you don't want to work at a company that is consistently bad at reward alignment.
> if you use a 5 percent discount rate, 20 years of $2,677 of annual electricity bill savings yields a net present value of $33,361.

Yes, but with an 8% discount rate, the PV is $26,283. It's true that the cost of electricity will probably rise over time, as he notes. But current interest rates make this a much less attractive proposition from a financial perspective (that is, assuming you don't care about solar generation for environmental reasons). The homeowner takes on significant risk, and the gain is not all that great. Your panels can be destroyed by hurricane, earthquake, or falling trees, rendering them worthless, for example.

I'm not saying this isn't worth doing, just that the financial calculations seem a bit flawed in today's economic environment.

I'd rather have politicians steal it and use at least a sliver of it for some good than for private individuals to sit on top of their pile of gold while people are in tents outside their compound.
I asked ChatGPT to give me the name of a Victorian novel I'd lost track of. I gave it a plot summary of the first third of the book.

ChatGPT said it was unable to come up with an answer, because it was not connected to the internet. It gave me a number of suggestions on how I could research the question myself.
If this is the way things are going, then there should be some kind of influencer types with large clout who can bring up these sort of cases on behalf of an anonymous party.

Imagine having no real social media footprint or even a bad reputation with lots of downvoted posts. How are you supposed to resolve your issues when a company has decided no one would give a shit about you if you complained? You need someone to vouch for you and help you hold their feet to the fire, you need an individual who will tell your story to an audience that is too expensive to disappoint.
Sometimes I read scientific and technical texts that are candy-coated to appeal to people who can't stand criticism, and wish the author was allowed to say what they really think.
You're still accessing the file via their network, so for them it's probably cheaper to actually cache the file so they don't have to hit the origin server every time a request comes in.
> Were I to implement a language […]

So this was not related to AoC but instead to building a language.
Ho ho. But I see a parallel. When the convo gets disconnected from empiricism (be it via the esoterickness of the subject, or anonymity, or whatever) then beasts develop.
This is very interesting work.

I've been debating writing a SQLite-compatible parser/generator for purposes of manipulating arbitrary queries in AST form.

The biggest reason would be to quickly enumerate statistics about any given query. This would allow for us to run reports about which tables are used from certain areas, how often related tables are joined, etc. This would make refactor decisions substantially easier, since most of our business logic is defined as SQL queries now. Any given install of our product could have well over 10k SQL queries to deal with.

Adding the generator bit would also give us an ability to automatically rewrite queries as needed. This would predominantly be used to standardize the text formatting of any given query, but would also be extremely useful for things like renaming tables or columns.
Some ISPs still tamper with DNS traffic irrespective of which DNS server they're to/from. githubusercontent.com has no DNSSEC, so it's not tamperproof.

I've had my best Discord experiences when playing games like League of Legends where somebody invited me to a server so we could coordinate better.

I kinda dread "visit our Discord" because sometimes you find a bunch of people with nothing better to do hanging out who aren't knowledgeable or helpful. (I've been that guy in chat rooms before...)

On the other hand I have needed support for open source products like Jellyfin and got good service that way.

> It's one thing to have differing thoughts and opinions. It's another thing to be "disagreeable", which is the personality trait of being difficult to work with, often for the sake of being contrarian or having an ego trip (i.e, proving that you are right to showcase your power and value relative to others).

You have the psychology wrong. That's not what the term disagreeable means in personality psychology.
Yea, this seems like the right type of solution.

You can start a blog, but if you want anyone who isn’t already a subscriber to see a new post, you need to link to to it from Facebook, Twitter, Mastodon, Hacker News, etc. So having a blog doesn’t replace social media. It’s a reason to use all the social media.

Discord makes (I would imagine) most of it's revenue from Nitro subscriptions. I don't think facebook has a paid tier.
There's 2 main reasons they differ from "something you know":

1) A passkey isn't phishable, as it's a digital signature that wraps the origin domain that is requesting the passkey. That means a phishing site can't "request" a valid passkey for another site, and replay it to gain access. This helps "normal users" who could be tricked into entering the MS/Google login on a credible-looking SSO portal, and approving the MFA request - a passkey will stop this.

2) You authenticate via a non-replayable signature. If the site's backend database is dumped, nothing is learned - nobody gets even a hash of a password. The stored data is guaranteed to be unique to that site (different public key for every account you make, even on the same site). You can't use it against other sites. If the site checks logs and can be confident the database wasn't tampered with, then after a compromise, they can continue to rely on webauthn logins - just because you saw someone's public key and encrypted offloaded private key doesn't help you log in as them. In contrast, with stored password hashes, users with weak or re-used passwords are at particular risk in this case, and you likely want to force them in through the reset password route, rather than let the attacker used a brute-forced or otherwise leaked password.
Try Apps Script in Google Sheets. No need to learn HTML or CSS. Can do cron jobs and triggers for automatic type actions.

And apps script is pretty much just Javascript.

And users are familiar with Google Sheets already.
I know.
In theory, custom UI doesn't necessarily mean to have such freedom to "change" what UI's rules of the OS has been established.
It should sound more like, I don't use your way of rendering stuff.
People grow by challenging themselves and this certainly applies to programming. One can’t use training wheels and expect to become skilled at system programming.

I learned C++ as an absolute beginner in school back when most memory debugging tools didn’t even exist. Undefined behavior was just another bug that one learned to fix and most of the time it was nothing more exciting than a crash. Being disciplined avoided the problem in the first place…

People really have a tendency to dramatize C++. Yes, memory errors are a significant problem for people writing operating systems or browsers that get attacked all the time. For a beginner C++ can be much more fun and instructive than any so-called safe alternative.

I actually wonder how solar panels reduce the rate at which a roof deteriorates. The panels themselves should bear the brunt of the light and rain that the shingles below them would otherwise endure, but on the other hand the panels don't cover the entire roof, so maybe at best you'd need to replace less of the roof but on the same schedule.
Spoiled childs pay for services now? You realize it's just a corporation, right? There's nothing wrong with publicly complaining about a service you paid for.
I predict we'll see violence against landlords if this continues. Too many people are without homes or being pushed out of their homes.
I was curious about this before, assuming that it must be a far cheaper way to live. Turned out that after lot rental fees and the fact that mobile homes depreciate in value rather than appreciate, the economics just don't seem to work out unless your largest requirement is to be in a physically separate building than your neighbors vs being in an apartment.
I read through the entire thing over many years when the site first began and a new entry was being posted every day. I found it to be surprisingly interesting and I enjoyed reading about daily life in the 17th century. The comments could also be quite informative. I recommend it to anyone who think they might be interested.
First, you can't program the fiat you need to buy BTC or other tokens at an exchange to have this property - so you're always going to have to trust someone with your money, at least for a time.

Second, if these defi systems exist, why are so many still keeping their money on exchanges like FTX/Binance/Coinbase/etc without such protections? I suspect it has to do with convenience or maybe cost - smart contracts require "gas" to run, no?
Laws in my country basically destroy(ed) the blogging scene. It is a legal risk not to put your address on the blog. People do not want every Billy on the Internet to know where they live with precise address, just because they want to participate on the web. That is one thing. The other thing is missing knowledge. Many people don't even know what a website consists of. I am not sure I want more people to have shitty blogs on medium or similar websites.
I honestly think this is no longer correct. Construction costs exceed the future value of the rental income stream for multifamily developments in most markets. Apparently the only projects that pencil out now are massive developments, which are hard to build in places where people work as they are already somewhat dense and don't have many empty fields. The cost of materials are going back to normal (with some exceptions) but the labor costs are increasing due to a shortage of workers. Construction costs could be slightly lowered by reducing the required quality of construction, but not by much.

Ah, OK, so that would work for the "simple" systems, but not the ones where you can feed power back into the grid and get a credit.
I like the idea in general, but any fraudsters would gladly pay quite a lot to have a chance of getting their hands on $400k. They can work out the ROI just as well as a legit customer. So the anti fraud aspect doesn’t ring true to me.
Ok cool but all this is just complaining that your build system isn't hermetic and that's someone else's fault? Like, what? You want to "not care about any of this" but then get annoyed when that bites you in the ass?

Avoid writing huge, long rambling comments and try to simplify your arguments to less than 100 words. You may find the fault, and the fix, becomes obvious.

Start with trying to refute "The python2 executable still functions correctly as does all other code you have that relies on python2" without referencing anything specific to your build practices.

> This is also hilarious since you had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find the only instances of "non backwards compatible" features in JS/HTML, an environment notorious for backwards compatibility. Also, `alert` may still stay in.

Those where the first that came to mind. There are many others, and many more if you widen it to server-side JS.

I do not want to import xpath/jsonpath syntax as is.

My goal is: if a new intern joins my team, I don't want to send them 3 reference docs (for lama2, xpath and jsonpath) just so they understand what's going on with APIs :)

So I am still musing of ways to get some sort of chaining, without complicating the syntax. Implementation is not the problem, but the right level of complexity (a.k.a does this pass the "intern test"?)
Yes. The cleverness applied in the iterations is unsurpassed. The channel has many clones, but they're not nearly as clever.

Sadly, I keep getting recommended clips from these mindless "let's build a big lego technic thing to do something, without much cleverness applied at all" videos. It wouldn't surprise me if they earn much more than this clever channel.
> "I expect the cops would roll their eyes and tell you to go away"

Maybe they will, and maybe they won't - but surely it's a dialogue worth having once you've exhausted all other options? I'd imagine that the specifics truly matter, and depending on the severity of the case you could be allowed to file a report?
The SSD data tiering sounds interesting, is there anything written about how it works?
