I've been building something similar that handles the dirty business of formatting a large database into a prompt.
Additional work that I've found helpful includes:

1. Using embeddings to filter context into the prompt

2. Identifying common syntax errors or hallucinations of non-existent columns

3. Flagging queries that write instead of read

Plus lots of prompt finessing to get it to avoid mistakes.

It doesn't execute the queries, yet. For an arbitrary db, it's still helpful to have a human in the loop to sanity check the SQL (for now at least).

One-person software shops usually have recurring costs close to zero, so MRR pretty much equals profit (minus taxes and whatever).

But yes, your argument stands for other kinds of startups.
I have been contemplating this actually. An opportunity for a lot of fun IMHO and ”page sysop” could use haptics :P
That is problem with CICO proponents start with scientific terms. But it always ends up with magic what does or does not count based and whatever the argument they are in. CICO models doesn't state anything they claim, but it in the end it's argument into nothing. Because human cells does not use calories it uses ATP through the kerb cycle. That whole process so bizarre complex, and then also based on so many confounded factors, that CICO is just too simplistic and it's almost impossible to lose weight and keep it off according to the model.

Kids are like sponges, and pretty much like training an AI.

Just because there is a bunch of trash on Netflix and elsewhere doesn't mean we should pollute the kid's world more with it.

I'm on a Macbook/Firefox with my resolution scaled up a bit and I didn't realize the answers were being displayed at all until I zoomed the page to 80%. Scrolling does not work. I did about 20 of them wondering when a results page would appear. Very fun and addicting project.
This just in, ChatGPT has hosed up the read operation due to inefficent querys and not being a human being. 26 GPT promts have been replaced with a DBA, Analyst, Project Manager, Cross functional manager, regulatory specialist, junior programmer, and QA analyst.
So how much does it cost? Because GPT is finally seeing monetization, this is no longer one of those "handy free tools", this is going to cost (potentially quite a bit of) money to do.
It's good to hear that you moved to a self-hosted solution. I can tell the differences between n8n and Automatisch so that you can compare them better.

- Automatisch is an open-source software where n8n is fair-code licensed. Therefore, it especially differs from the licensing perspective.

- n8n has a canvas-based flow editor, while Automatisch has an editor like Zapier's.

- From the UX perspective, we try our best to keep it so that anyone with and without technical knowledge can easily build workflow automation.
I think there's a lot more that goes into where someone chooses to eat than price, otherwise Taco Bell would be putting Chipotle out of business.

As explained above, I don't take it as a given that increased employee wages require increased prices.

I use Spaces a lot with Mission Control and now Stage Manager. Anything that's vital gets a full-screen space and I can just swap between them with a swipe or with Ctrl+L/R. It's very quick and I never need to search for windows outside of 2 or 3 swipes. I've also turned off the automatic ordering so my calendar is always the last swipe and my email is always the first.

Whenever you read/hear/think "AI" replace it with "a probabilistic process". If you can validate the output then it's really a beam search ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_search ) of the solution space, and not really "AI".

If you can't, then it's really a crap shoot as to whether the output is at all valid. If we want to use more opaque processes, I think we need more transparent outputs. If a neural net can produce a machine checkable proof or supply it with the optimisation that's great, but otherwise it's just hot air.
I agree with that, as do most people. What I object to is that calories-in-calories-out is the ONLY thing at play, and people claiming "simple physics" are working against any deeper understanding of the issues. I think this side of the argument is "Just eat less and you won't be fat. Duh." What they don't understand is that if a body has a hormonal anomaly, it might need to 5000 kcal/day just meet the 1500kc/day basic metabolic rate because the other 2500 kcal is being metabolized into fat by a broken endocrine system. If they drop down to 1500 kcal/day, only 300kc of that is going towards keeping the body running. It is completely out of their control how the calories are used due to their bodies, so CIn=COut is meaningless. The obesity epidemic is not completely about eating too much (which is part of it), but is about the environmental factors impacting how bodies actually work. If it was just Cin/Cout, gastric bypass would solve the problem, but that is not available to people that are suffering such hormonal disruptions because they would just die or be eating nonstop.

> [Password managers are] major centralized honeypots given the data they handle, and leaks are probably worth millions on the black market.

My knowledge in this area is admittedly limited but shouldn't password managers be fully encrypting your data with a key only you have (like 1Password). The way I understood it was that these leaks shouldn't be a problem because the data is worthless without the master key. Although I guess LastPass wasn't doing it that way.
So when you introduce or change a dependency to your project that affects what your dev environment must look like, how do you tie that change in with the main changes and make it available and consistent across all of your devs?

I think I’m on their server, but I don’t think I ever really interacted with them. In retrospect, I suppose I should have and gotten a better sense of their character (which is why I’m being a bit more careful in evaluating whether I start feeding anyone new).

Too bad that every TOS out there basically boils down to “we own your data to the maximum extent that doesn’t create any liability for us (but if it does, you’ll indemnify us) and we can change these terms at any time.” Makes it hard to do a proper assessment of what exactly you’re stepping into.

>I really don't think consumers like automation.

It depends.

I like depositing checks by app rather than having to go to an ATM--much less a bank clerk.

And I'm generally OK with self-service checkout if I just have a few items and everything is barcoded.

But, yes, there are many cases where automation (e.g. chat bots) and self-service save the business money at the cost of making the consumer experience worse.
Can confirm. Migrated from LastPass -> 1Password last month.

This is a strange product they’re selling. You run your binary on on macOS but presumably your server is running linux. Why are you trying to run Darwin executables as if they were in the cloud when that is not what will actually be deployed? Shouldn’t the testing at least be done from a linux machine?
As someone who recently self-installed home batteries (LiFePo), I learned quite a bit about what drives up prices. It's not regulation. If anything state incentives in California can drive down the prices (if you qualify for them), and federal incentives drop the price by 30%, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act.
In my experience, the big cost with home batteries are the same things that make artisinal custom designed and built homes expensive: the labor cost of the complex system design, installation and integration, and the premium charged because they are still marketed as a luxury product, not as a basic home appliance.

Why the complexity? It should be easy to install batteries on a house, right? In reality, every house has an idiosyncratic set of challenges and decisions that need to be made when integrating battery storage: What loads do you want to back up, and for how long? Where will the backup sub-panel be installed, and how can the backup circuits be routed to it? Where is a safe location for the battery and the automatic transfer switch to be installed? They are all answerable, but there is no general solution and each one is on a case-by-case basis.

And yes, this all does have to meet electrical codes (which exist for a reason), and needs sign-off by local building authorities, but they are not the main cost obstacle any more than they are for any major electrical upgrade to a house.

Take away the "luxury premium" part, and this also explains why home rooftop solar will always be much more expensive on a per-watt basis than utility scale solar (and yes, utility scale solar doesn't include the cost of transmission, as with any grid scale generation source).

Compare that to an EV, where thousands are assembled with predefined requirements, a known set of inputs, all in a purpose built environment (a factory).

And even better, they come with a standard plug interface that we can use to send power back to the house or the grid! But hold on: if you want power when the grid goes down, you're going to need an islanding transfer switch and perhaps decide which loads to back up. I mean, do you really want to run your 40A jacuzzi heater or your 50A air conditioner off you car battery?

In an ideal future, every house would be built with a standard connector (analogous to USB for phones or EV charger standards) that you could just plug a stationary storage system into. The houses would also be built to include an automatic transfer switch that islands the house during a power outage, and a smart load panel that dynamically decides what loads to back up based on battery capacity and user preferences. But right now, no such standards exist, and no house is built from the start that way, so everything is an expensive retrofit.
The idea is that you have a healthy lifestyle along with caloric tracking. So you are working out regularly each week. You'd be eating a consistently healthy diet versus e.g. a sugary drink worth a few hundred calories that isn't making you less hungry.

Then your actual rate, whatever it is or how much it varies, hardly matters long term. Sure there would be variance, but on the whole, long term, you are only caring about the weight on the scale. So you measure calories in and your weight, and given you are consistent about burning calories exercising and the food choices in your diet, dialing back calories in will make a change on the scale, maybe a bigger or smaller one for different people, but a change no less. No one runs on air.

Sweeping assignment of all copyright—including for things done off-hours—to your employer are common features of employment contracts in the US, which means no open source work without requesting an exception. This is true even in many startups. Absence of that kind of provision is seen as risky by investors or acquiring companies, who fear current or past employees will try to claim parts of the company's IP as their own.

Most are chill about adding exceptions (they don't actually want to claim copyright to that children's book you're writing in your free time) though. Still, sucks and probably ought to be illegal.
Yes, some car companies do in fact create less expensive vehicles specifically for certain markets.

In Their 20s, Struggling to Save and Tired of Being Lectured About It
If you're familiar with electronics: Imagine you have a current source, driving 1 amp through a variable resistor set to a very low resistance. It only takes less than a volt to sustain that current, so your current source is quite happy to do this. Then, without turning off the current source, you increase the resistance: now the current source needs a lot more voltage to sustain that current.

From the current source's point of view, the voltage across the resistor looks indistinguishable from a voltage source pushing back against it. Even though that voltage is coming from the resistive load, even though that voltage only exists across the resistor because of the 1 amp that the current source is itself driving, the load acts the same as a voltage source fighting to drive current backwards into the current source.

Imagine that your current source is not ideal: it has voltage limits. If you want to squeeze the most power out of your current source, you'll set the resistance up such that the resulting output voltage is near the limit of what your current source can handle while still supplying 1 amp. If you increase the resistance further, you'll exceed the voltage rating and possibly damage your current source. Then even if you return the resistance to a low level after that, you might not get 1 amp anymore from that damaged source.

All of this has been an analogy. Permanent magnets are a lot like non-ideal sources that cannot turn off. To squeeze the very most out of the magnet, you want to configure the load such that it's driving the magnet to its limits. When you remove the rotor from the stator, it now has to push magnetic field through air, rather than through steel. This increases the effective demagnetizing load working against the magnet (known as "reluctance", analagous to resistance). It's no different from the magnet's point of view than if you'd looped an electromagnet wire around it fighting against its magnetization. Permanent magnets are magnetized through a hysteresis process, and with a strong enough demagnetizing field, the internal domains can flip and the magnet gets demagnetized.

On the topic of job hopping:

I'm on my fourth job in four years. First company was a startup that went under, other two I immediately realized I wasn't a good fit but I stayed for about a year each, gave it my all, then resigned with peace of mind. Salary was never an issue. Now I'm at a startup again -- I'm happier than ever, wouldn't leave this job for the world, but we're on shaky ground and the recession might sink us despite our best efforts. So in 2023 that might be 5 jobs in 5 years.

I don't think I'm the outlier. I've only met one person that does legitimate "job hopping", and you can tell from talking to them that something's off. Most of the time people switch jobs for good reason. Disqualifying someone based on that means you're either an Ivy League kid that never got their hands dirty, or you just think you're a rare enough exception that the rule still holds.
He pays $40/mo for all of his sites, and included in that is hourly backups rolling for multiple days, security audits, automatic updates, and the ability to lock down logins to a specific IP.

In the 8 years of hosting with wordpress, he's been under constant automated attack, and never once has a site been compromised. I doubt that is because he is some super computer genius, and more likely its just that his host has a decent offering.

But point still stands, if a host allows you to click a button to launch a wordpress site, that is still easy to do.
The spread between wholesale energy prices between high and low renewable times (with low-compared-to-future renewable penetration) is around $20/MW (it’s not $2 and it’s not usually $200), or about $0.02/kwh, so this isn’t a viable return. I doubt selling into the grid will ever get you retail prices in return (someone had to maintain load power lines).

I think people worry a lot about market access when it doesn’t make sense. The market operators cannot handle the settlement and operations overhead of microscale power generators. They are not offering reliable commitments, and the metering just doesn’t exist at the small scale. Your local PG&E equivalent isn’t equipped to operate an efficient power market, I don’t think.

For context - a “small” scale solar power plant is in the 10s of MWs, which >1000x bigger then a car battery at full output. Utility-scale storage is also in the same ballpark.

IMPORTANT NOTE

When you do this reset and sign back into your devices/browser plugins, you will need to go into the Bitwarden Settings on each one and set a few options again - notably timeout (defaults back to Browser Restart, change back to a time you're comfortable with), Biometric Unlock and PIN. All of those are local settings to each Bitwarden client/endpoint, so you need to do them on each device.
It's an interesting problem - I was reading about bipolar, which also (probably) has the issue of too open a blood-brain barrier. There is a theory that repairing the blood-brain barrier would help, but as drugs repair the barrier, it's harder to get drugs into the brain from the blood, which means the doses need to be higher, which means the side effects are worse.

I could imagine a treatment protocol of opening the blood-brain barrier and then administering a low dose of a drug, or something along those lines
Ormlite: An ORM in Rust for developers that love SQL
I've been working on `ormlite` for around a year, and it's now reaching the point where it's a massive boost in productivity for my Rust application server development. It's built on the amazing foundation of `sqlx`.

If you do Rust application server development, you might be interested for several reasons:

- It now auto-generates migrations from Rust structs. To my knowledge, it is the only Rust ORM with this capability.

- The join API, while in alpha, has far moving pieces than any other Rust ORM. It only relies on the table `struct`s themselves, and does not rely on relation traits (SeaORM) or modules (Diesel).

- There's little to no query builder syntax to learn. The query builder basically joins together &str fragments of raw SQL. It strikes the right level of abstraction between composability, and having near-zero learning curve for anyone who already knows SQL.
What helped me may help you as well (but it also may not if your strain is from different causes):

"Decrease blue light form monitor using tools like f-lux"

"I have had lots of success with starring at magic eye stereograms for a minute or two once in a while. Initially I had to learn how to do it but it did pay off. As soon as the 3d image pops out move the eyes around the image including corners as well (also move eyes in circles or similarly to the infinity symbol across the image) while holding the 3d image in view. It's a bit difficult at first but once you learn it becomes easy. And as the more you do it at the beginning and as you get better at it the less you have to do it later on to de-strain your eyes. There's a version of tetris in magic eye 3d. It's challenging and fun. "

"Get further from the monitor, get a larger monitor and increase font size to make it comfortable to your eyes."

"Take eye breaks, stare in the distance through a window if not possible outdoors."

I'm in my 40s and started to have eye strain in my 20s. These helped methods me not reduce eye problems while working in front of a screen. I still have very sensitive eyes so I wear sunglasses even when it's cloudy but I do not yet wear optical glasses yet and eye strain at work is minimal, I don't even need night mode in my apps. At some point the strain was so strong that I was tempted to get glasses but the optician advised me to wait, I remember her saying that once you go that route there's no going back and am glad I didn't pursue glasses. My prescription was a bit like .5 for one eye and .75 for the other one back in my 20s and last time I checked. I assume it worsened a bit but I'm still getting by without glasses without too many issues. I'm expecting my vision to deteriorate a bit more as I get into my mid 40s early 50s.
