One of the things I hear the most about Kubernetes is the complexity. Honestly, it's not that complex from an user perspective. It's not much more complicated than Docker, really. It's also super nice to just write two yaml files and have everything running nicely with rollouts, auto-scaling, node pinning etc. It just works and I never have to even think about the internals (although I took the time to learn most of them).

Adding: heck, I'll run a single node k3s on my computer (which takes one (1) command) instead of using docker-compose just because I like it better than compose.

The problem is that most of the DeFi is either actually centralized in some way and are lying to the clients, or they are truly decentralized and therefore any bug in the programming will take it down immediately, see dozens of "hacks" of DeFi bridges just last year alone, each one in tens or hundreds of millions in equivalent.

I'd been poking through them with plain old `sqlite3` and then deserializing all the plist data with something like `pbpaste | xxd -r -p > foo.plist` for examination, but had no idea datasette existed and https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-bplist#user-content-t... seems like the ticket for browsing these.

For others: all the Caches.db files are the per-process HTTP cache that NSURLRequest/NSURLSession keeps, so if you peek at it you can see (partially) a history of network requests that process has made.

This is a pretty unusual situation, where you presumably live in the sticks and commute to the city, or vice versa? In the cities, particularly Amsterdam, cars are not the favored option. In Amsterdam 38% of travel is by bike, Zwolle is 46%. Across the whole country the averages break down at 45% by car, 36% by bike, and 11% by transit. That is to say, a very slight majority prefers modes other than a car across the country as a whole, and within cities the difference is presumably more significant. These figures, even in their most conservative interpretation, are wildly different from the United States, where travel by bike is a rounding error and the public transit options are abysmal.
> How does the "AI" part change anything though?

I think there are quite a few differences. It's pretend for a moment that instead of an AI we have a human. A human that commits a crime (or acts out of negligence) is brought before a court. The degree to which you can do criminal acts on the internet is obviously quite different by country, but I think we can generally agree that a human doing something nefarious faces some consequences.

This thing though armed with the right tools, can do human like acts and these can enter (by accident or otherwise) territory where we would normally bring someone in front of a court. That's something we have definitely not figured out as society yet how to deal with that.

I think there is a lot to figure out still here, but right now I'm pretty convinced that because we can't even keep an AI from revealing it's internal prompts, that we better not give these things too many capabilities of directly influencing something.
>I don't see much in the article to persuade me that da Vinci was equating gravity and acceleration in the way Einstein did

Thinking of the effect on speed of things falling down as acceleration (as opposed to constant), and even coming up with a formula, is already a bridge between these two things.
This situation seems extreme at first but it isn't so far-fetched when you think that the next steps will certainly be to hook AI up to all sorts of devices with physical power, like cars. If you think programmers can contain it, you're naive, although not as naive as the programmers developing it. Pure knowledge (facts) have always outpaced our wisdom to use them and this is going to be an extreme case.
Elon is probably as much ASD as he is an inventor. Going by his behavior (parts that are reported on in public), I can as a lay-person recognize him to have more narcissistic traits, so a personality disorder like NPD or ASPD is more descriptive of him in my mind.

I think children are constantly experiencing rewards and punishments of a sort analagous to reinforcement learning. Until a certain age their brain is hardwired to want to please their parents, so they pay a lot of attention to the parents' faces, and find reward in smiles and find punishment in frowns. After that, they are driven by a certain amount of ego, and find reward in self-accomplishment and find punishment in being told what to do.
I didn't see many bikes in Amsterdam capable of conveying luggage.
For a lot of these places there are enough houses for the people who want to live there. Or it's a whole hell of a lot closer. The issue is there's not enough houses for the people who want to live there and all the tourists who feel entitled to be able to stay in a house on their vacation. A house that takes away from locals, and destroys any culture of the neighbourhood.
Not having much to do isn’t very related to whether a visit is worth it just to see the collection, but I take your point I could have been clearer.
I'm a young millenial. I have a number of Gen Z cousins and coworkers who admit that they hate driving, many of which never got a driver's license.

I loathe car dependence too, but I suspect a lot is linked to frugality: I grew up with gas prices approaching $5 a gallon and it certainly didn't feel freeing to pay that to go literally anywhere (plus maintenance and upfront costs and insurance, of course).
The 'elderly parent to the doctor' case is still an argument for bike infrastructure. The more people choose to travel by bike instead of by car, the more space is available on the roads for those that need motor vehicles.
I think the question that anyone that rejects cars would ask is "why do you choose to live 60km from your work?".
I am not sure to which degree there is an API to Bing at the moment that uses the AI. I have seen people hook up ChatGPT to http request issuing things before. Typically with some filtering about what they are allowed to hit however.
Yeah most of the (IMO) legitimate complaints about the difficulty of k8s are about how hard it is to correctly set up and administer. (Networking setup, making ingress work, cloud service integration, etc.) Especially when you get into permissions/namespaces and trying to get that right for a decent size organization and trying to configure things for least privilege. Simply using it isn’t that hard IMO.
IIS can be configured by non-expert users easily, and without necessarily compromising security, thanks to the well-designed (I’m being serious) administration tools that MS has (thankfully) not butchered-up over the past 15 years.

It’s an “old-world” web-server (like Apache, etc) which defaults to “filesystem-first” which is great for quickly making a directory available on the web, and its architecture employing recyclable worker-processes (since IIS 6) with limited privileges gives it the performance benefits of in-proc code-execution (vs CGI/FastCGI) without the risk of a vuln compromising the entire web server. Oh, and HTTP.sys is pretty nice and fast too. I’ve never had reliability or crashing issues with IIS: if your worker-process goes down it means your application code has a crashing bug in it, not IIS.

Yeah, nginx is nice - but is also a relatively recent tool (since 2004, I didn’t start seeing people prefer it for projects until after NodeJS gave them a reason to use it - so around 10 years ago). While nginx supports Windows, there’s a big fat caution saying it’s performance is sub-par still: https://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html

So if you’re on Windows - because you’re a (non-Linux) .NET shop, or want/need to run on on-prem Windows Server boxes (especially SMB scenarios) it just makes sense to use IIS: it’s already there and certainly is not an underperforming, insecure, or otherwise “bad” web-server.

>Good public transit is unfortunately the exception in many places and not the rule.

> It seems like you are disputing raw numbers.

Numbers do not lie, but people’s interpretations of them can still be wrong.

I don’t dispute the numbers but I do dispute how they’re being used to represent some biases without any consideration for the accuracy of how they’re compared and collated.

> Most of the US has lower COL than London: https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/cost-of-living/united-states....

Yeah London is expensive. No one would dispute that. But cost of living can vary significantly in the U.K. alone (let alone in the wider Europe). So treat London as a solitary data point (like you would with SV when looking at the cost of living in American).

> Therefore, even taking COL into account, an average US developer makes the same as above average, senior London developer (This dataset is skewed towards tech companies).

That’s a better analysis than your first attempts but it’s still flawed because London is one city and and America is an entire country. So you’ve got rural parts of America pushing down the cost of living and the top percentiles in SV pushing the salary averages up.

A better comparison would be comparing tech hubs individually.

Also please bear in mind that I wasn’t arguing that Europeans have more disposable income generally. Just that the cost of living does level out the playing field somewhat.

I honestly have no idea of Americans or Europeans are more well off. I just disagree that any analysis can be made with looking at averages salaries alone.

> house prices in most of the US are also highly likely to be lower than in London.

In most parts they absolutely will be. Just like in most places in the U.K. house prices will be cheaper (I already made that point earlier by the way).

But if you were to compare the largest tech hub in America to the largest tech hub in England, you might find London comes out cheaper.

> I'm not american, nor do I live in the US.

Sorry for making that assumption. Though I hope you can appreciate why I had when literally every datapoint you referenced was specifically about America in a conversation about European wages and cost of living. :)
What a convoluted nonsense.

Is there any reason to suspect that the Bing version of the ChatGPT bot sends HTTP requests? A much easier and natural implementation would be to make it connect directly to the Bing search engine's indexes and caches.
Unfortunately, everything at Firefox has become political in nature and it's been downhill ever since.

> @$350/mo or $4200/yr for a pass (which also covers the subway and buses) it's basically a break even vs driving.

Cost-wise, yes but there are other benefits.

I live in rural MN and used to commute to downtown Minneapolis about 40 miles away. It was far more convenient, not to mention much faster, to drive to an express bus stop and take the bus into the city than to drive. The 6 block walk to the office sucked sometimes when it was raining or -20F but not having to deal with traffic, plus the reduction of wear and tear on my car was well worth the minor inconvenience.

Now, I realize that's an ideal situation: having a bus 15 minutes away and a relatively short distance between the bus stop and my destination, but it's possible. Cities can do this: Minneapolis has streets that are bus-only at rush hour to speed up transit -- cars will get ticketed if the cops see them. The Metro area has a large number of bus routes between suburbs and even to the edge of the ex-urban areas. There was a big push around 20 years ago to improve transit and it's definitely paying off, but it takes commitment and patience that I guess a lot of other areas in the country don't have.
Similar story here. I did stop using Uber Eats after the Nth order of the guy travelling with your food to the other side of the city working for some other app. Terrible user experience.

They seem to be aware of it with the recent campaign of "95% of orders arrive on time", which has to be an abuse of statistics.
That is not a car country.

São Paulo has more car than population, and has so many cars that their area summed is bigger than the area of all streets in the city.

It is so many cars that sometimes walking 1 hour to your workplace is faster than a car route where you can spend 2, 3 hours to go to a neighborhood next to yours during rush hour.

So many cars that the city became also the city with most helicopters, because as ludicrously expensive they are, for people that need to reach their workplace really fast (CEO, firemen, medics...) helicopters are good idea.

Situation got so bad that the government wants to heavily restrict the use of helicopters because private helicopters were causing literally airborne traffic jams along the normal traffic jam, blocking public services like police from moving to emergency sites.

EDIT: indeed I was talking about adults, forgot to make it clear. Still the percentage of cars to people in Brazil tends to be high. It is one of the reasons car companies love Brazil. There are historical reasons for that. Mostly politics related.
This exactly. Different people have different needs and abilities, and we all get better options if more options become available. This is why investing in more bike infrastructure is ultimately good for everybody, even for the people who absolutely need a car; more people in public transit or on bikes means less cars on the load, less stress on infrastructure, less traffic jams, etc.
Proving my point, because something like 80% of the land in Toronto is zoned for single-family housing. The Toronto metropolitan area is one massive sprawling suburb.

How would these numbers look like if we had more dense walkable neighborhoods? No need to speculate, simply look at similar statistics from places like Montreal.
The feeling of freedom is only relative to the isolation of being a suburban teen without a car.

Modifying "fugitive" with the context of said fugitive doesn't really exemplify the commonness of those type of fugitive.
> The article specifies rich, maybe beacuse, at least in the US, only the rich can afford to live in places where cars aren't strictly necessary?

I assumed it was because countries like India and China are following different trends - lower initial car ownership rates, more two-wheelers on the road, but a growing middle class.
This hasn’t been my experience. I don’t think this knowledge has been lost and it’s often still applied when incentivized, such as when quality output of machine learning models serves an immediate business need, or in scientific applications of machine learning. By your reference to web scraping I assume your referring to datasets for large language models, but I don’t think the kitchen sink approach is applied out of ignorance, but out of a principled decision to forgo data hygiene in order to collect datasets large enough to feed such large models. Also, strictly speaking, one only needs to apply the critical approach when constructing and using validation datasets, and it’s typical for larger noisier training datasets to outperform smaller more rigorous ones when models trained on both are tested on carefully constructed validation datasets.

> It also for some reason is under the assumption that volume of consensus is a substitute for validity.

That's simply how those language models work, isn't it? The more often something appears in its training materials, the more likely the final model will respond in that direction. The training process has no innate way of autonomously generating generating some concept of validity that'd automatically let the model up- or downrank certain sources.

So the only thing that's left is the developers manually up- or downweighting certain sources during training, but due to the gigantic amounts of text that procedure doesn't really scale to really fine-grained control.

I agree 100%. Now, let’s say you’re in the OP’s position and don’t want to work for FAANG-style companies forever. In order to escape and not lose the true benefit you’re getting from the money, you need to answer a few questions and make a few decisions:

1) How much money do you need, on an on-going basis, to maintain your level of comfort/improved health/whatever you’ve been spending the money on? Think of this in terms of annual expenditure. Include all of your livings expenses in this.

1a) What can you do to decrease your annual income needs? This might be something big like relocating away from an HCOL area, removing superfluous spending (i.e., things that aren’t making you happy/healthier/etc.,) or optimizing current spending (do you have a big cable package that you don’t use, do you need a new smartphone every year or could you upgrade every 2 - 3 years, etc.) Take this away from the number is step 1) and you get variable A. Example: 150,000/yr.

2) What do you want to do post-FAANG, if anything, and how much will it pay? This number is B. Example: $75,000/year.

3) What are you current investment assets? This number is C. Example: $1,000,000.

4) How much investment income could they produce? For round number purposes, in the current investment environment, maybe start with a 3% withdrawal rate. This number is D. Example: 3%

A. B. C. D.

150000 - 75000 — (1,000,000 * 3%) = 45,000.

D

45,000 / 3% = $1,500,000.

In this example, you need to save/invest an additional $1.5M for your plan to be realistic, or change your expenses or post-FAANG income to alter the timeline. However long it will take to grow your assets by $1.5M — through additional savings from your FAANG income and returns on existing investments — is how long you need to stick it out at your FAANG job, or an equivalent high-stress/high-pay job — before jumping ship without suffering any loss from the benefit the high income provides.

There are so many "English" and "Irish" accents it's hard to really say. I would say Liverpool accent sounds a lot like a hard inner city Dublin accent already. And it makes sense, with these cities having so much history, trade, and traffic.

Likewise, Scottish / Northern Irish accents are more similar to each other than accents in the Southern end of their own respective landmasses.

But in this case, it's someone far, far away from Ireland* developing an "Irish" accent. I would be very interested to know if that accent sounded geniune to someone Irish or if the accent was an SNL style Irish impression, ie what the patient _believed_ was the accent.

* although it is worth noting, despite the distance, the Newfoundland accent is absolutely indistinguishable from a genuine Irish accent. Any time I hear Newfoundlanders speak I'm stunned at how they sound like they live a few miles away from me.
