I've done such things. It is surprisingly not bad if you spend ~$500 on fluorescent breathable rain gear and lights.

The biggest problems are leaves on the stupid green paint they coat the bike lanes with, and increased stopping distance / driver fatigue for the cars.

Storing the rain gear at your destination in a way that lets it dry out is also a big concern.

Being cold is not an issue at all. If anything, you will be too hot while rising.
It's very unclear why anyone thinks YouTube isn't highly profitable.

Google has only released revenue numbers: Roughly $15B in 2020[1]. Costs are difficult to judge, but in terms of infrastructure they are probably somewhat comparable to Netflix.

For 2020, Netflix had roughly $24B revenue and spent $1.8B on "technology and development" (which is where their infrastructure costs are)[2].

Unless you think Google is much less efficient than Netflix (which uses AWS for a lot of their tech[3]) then it's difficult to see how YouTube could not be profitable. Even if YouTube costs 3 times as much at Netflix to run (I don't see how) Google still has $10B revenue to pay creators for, and they control both how much they pay creators and how much they charge advertisers.

Ah yes. Poorer. Remind me what's the rate of medical bankruptcies, people on food stamps and people working two jobs is in the US vs. the EU?

Ah yes. "free riding off the US" wat? If you think that cost of healthcare is what your insurance tower of babel is telling you, you need a doze of reality pills (too bad they are too expensive in the US).

The US only spends about 5% of its healthcare spending on actual R&D (~$170-180 billion). While it's more than Europe ($100-110 billion) it's not enough to say that Europe is "free loading"

I’m not sure what you mean by “what’s the line” but if it means “what’s the alternative”:

First start using personal domain so that when I switch away I can do it without having to update all contact details. I’ve already been doing this.

Then after some research, switch to a paid email provider. I’m thinking of ProtonMail or Zoho at the moment but I need to look into it more.

It’s going to be painful because I used to use Google OAuth whenever it was available in the past. But I would like to start having my eggs in different baskets.

EDIT: re: "whats the line"

There is no concrete line. It's mostly me getting old enough to worry about not losing access to a lot of services on algorithms' whim and I keep seeing these posts on HN (Google or not). I know the chance of it happening is slim, but I think the damage would be big enough to diversify away.

In other words, the kind of person who is actually in a position to negotiate the terms of their contract. What bugs me most about the current situation is the ubiquity of non-competes for low salary employees, who have the least amount of leverage to negotiate contracts. I'm much less concerned about staff engineers at tech companies and portfolio managers at hedge funds, although I'd prefer to see non-competes banned altogether (except perhaps for non-competes for owners selling a company... I think it's fair that if I buy your ice cream shop, we can agree that you can't open one up across the street the next day).
Swift has the expressiblebyTypeliteral series of protocols for this.

For example you could write an extension on Date to add initialization from a string:

extension Date: ExpressibleByStringLiteral {
public init(stringLiteral value: String) {
// parse the string here.
}

}

You can then do things like:

let happyNewYear: Date = “2023-01-01 12:00:00”

There are a protocols for all literal types. For example, you could implement ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral and have have it init the Date object from a unix timestamp. There is even an ExpressibleByNilLiteral.

There's a strong distrust of government across the entire political spectrum.

The other half has a delusion that government can be fixed.
More roads are the only solution, and have been for at least 4000 years.

For those 4 millenia, people have gravitated to a 30 minute each way commute, on average.

More roads implies bigger cities and more amenities / economic growth. If bikes mean more people can commute to the city, then they will eventually win.
I am once again unable to tell whether this is genuine or sarcastic capitalist bootlicking. This website has destroyed my brain.
My mom and I are both like this. There's enough to do alone. I think there's also a lot of ambient cultural pressure (at least in the US) to socialize pretty frequently compared to other locations or past times. Obviously there were always people who were super extroverted and would be hosting parties and showing up at their friends' homes all the time, but back when there were only letters and maybe telegrams it would have taken a lot longer to plan to meet.

Something that I've actually enjoyed my whole life is writing letters. (and writing online)

Call/Pipe operators are just sugar for normal function calls. It's nice because adding or removing a call doesn't require balancing parentheses. It's helpful for writing stream or sequence/iterator based code and throwing debug utilities in the middle.

It's less of an issue if your language has UFCS or other postfix function call syntax like mentioned in this thread, but if you don't this is nice to have.
1. > "presumably it's because Y thinks they can use the salesperson's relationships (at least) twice as productively."

I'm not sure that's true. Y thinks Y having the profits from S's relationships are worth the marginal cost of paying 2 x $X (the salary). Presumably, he could offer that to S's Boss -- but the angle is that S will usually sell out for less. S has less skin in the game.

As you note, it's hard to tell how much S is actually benefitting consumers, versus how much they're trying to extract rent once they've got Boss over a barrel. And it seems the best time to solve that is with a voluntary agreement between consenting adults before Salesman has Boss over a barrel.

If Boss runs the risk of being gutted by S, the usual response is to raise prices, or conclude that it's just too expensive to make this good. So probably consumer prices rise under this regime. Now, maybe if you're the party of middle management, that's a political good!

2. I don't know enough about that to BS beyond what I've BS'd already. But it strikes me as mostly a toss up -- sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. And, again, I think the libertarians are mostly right about respecting deals between consenting adults, even when there's a wealth or social gap. The parties will have a much better idea about when they're good and bad. I'm not sure why you'd outlaw them.

I guess the best argument I have against myself is that California has already done something similar for awhile, and it hasn't crippled their market for talent. So whatever effect I might be worried about, it's de minimus, and it seems to be a morale booster for middle-management types.

Twitter has about $5B a year revenue. The fact they aren't profitable is mostly because of they were/are a badly run business.

Do engineers not take calculus anymore these days?

Gradient descent uses the gradient, but is itself not the gradient.

The gradient itself is just the vector of partial derivatives with respect to each parameter.

Gradient descent is just following the gradient "downwards" towards a minima.

The article even describes it pretty well in non-mathematical terms.

> the gradient of the distribution (think of it as the slope of the high-dimensional surface).

I always hear devs say they never use calculus but I suspect it's because you can't use what you don't understand.

"These are all symptoms of a societal illness."

Yet you are healthy with your beliefs? What you say is in some cases much worse than them, I can't speculate on what you have acted on/done:

"Our increasingly decadent society wouldn’t be so if men realized they hold the keys to building and maintaining prosperous societies, and can refuse the corrupt inclinations of women hellbent on ruining it all for materialistic, personal gain. And that of other men who desire power and money and materialistic things for the sad approval of women."

More of you blaming women for all of societies problems. A guy with less extreme opinions than you did this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_Polytechnique_massa...

and others like him will read your extremist words and feel right at home with that kind of mindset, the same way you learned to see the world how you now do.

(1) Selling access to their models, or

(2) Selling access to services built on top of their models.

If the technology is as transformative as it is being hyped as, either or both (which they already do!) are going to be phenomally profitable if their models are really ahead of the competition.
It isn't just as simple as 'premium rate numbers'.

Some of the criminals behind these attacks will have access to the phone network. They'll pick an expensive route, like a range of phone numbers in Georgia (the country) from the USA, and offer a cheaper route to it. The system will start using their route for those calls. They'll accept all calls to that route, get paid, and never actually connect any calls.

That gives them a range of "normal" phone numbers which helps them avoid throttling on just one number. But they can be just as expensive as premium numbers to call.

At least, this is how it was explained to me as my team fought these attacks a couple years ago. We'd see calls to a large range of a few thousand numbers. Couldn't throttle on a single number.
Out of curiosity, do ebikes work at all this time of year, or do the batteries freeze? (like they do in inferior EVs)

> Most are no more than a saas template on the gpt3 api (or chatgpt unofficial as ‘prelaunch’) or one of the stable diffusion api’s, with a bit of lazy prompt priming showing a few cherry picked demos.

This is what really grinds my gears. No one seems to talk about how using ONE company's API for a paid service / product is VERY bad design. Using OpenAI's API to make your "product" (actually just a text template with an overdesigned website that doesn't even process data) is the height of grifting. It's similar to rolling "your own search engine" but actually passing all the queries through google. A lot of eyebrows would shoot up on that, but very few here because the marketing at OpenAI is really something. They're really great at keeping their mouths shut and letting their competitors and product take the heat. Very sneaky IMO.

Also, most of the AI offerings seem to target people that don't understand what it really is or what it does -- I'd expect a very hasty "seal of authentication" or something really soom, that'd be mandatory anywhere you'd want to "prove" your data is actually yours.
I think it would have been better to go when you had a little more cash, but I'd focus on finding a lawyer to discuss declaring bankruptcy to try to make things like the repo'ed car's debt go away and try to use their networking and past client knowledge.

Git – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Whenever I read comments like this, it looks like another AI bubble has been created with AI bros, cheerleaders and hype squads once again purposefully screaming 'It's the future bro', 'Google is doomed!', 'ChatGPT is the next big thing!', etc.

This reminds me of the Stripe hype squad screaming over-valuations of $100BN+ which we will once again see for OpenAI and I can see a long term valuation of just $80BN. That is it. Anything higher is a signal of complete over-valuation.

All of this is even before talking about the competition especially the open-source ones which indeed compete against OpenAI's so-called 'first mover advantage' as these open-source models are catching up and AI safety and regulations that will put checks and balances on the AI industry. But at this point, the only thing that can ruin OpenAI's plans is a better clone of itself but with an open source model, released for free and not under restrictive paywalls.

That is truly 'Open AI', not some company pretending to be 'open' but is in fact essentially a Microsoft AI division. Might as well call it ClosedAI.
That sounds more like a firewall issue, I highly doubt your cloud provider blocked UDP entirely.
