Context definitely matters about the impact of failing to hit schedule has on the employer/client's business.

But, all that said, the responsibility of meeting the deadline - or the risk and consequences of failing to meet the deadline, are the responsibility of the employer/client's business, and are not the responsibility of the individual employee or contractor. Often deadlines may be set politically, scope and schedule is not actually estimated, complexity is ignored, projects are incompetently managed, business decisions are made to under-invest in QA or system resiliency or resourcing in the attempt to reduce operating costs at the risk of increasing the chance of project failure if anything does not go exactly to plan.

If the individual employee or contractor hasn't previously negotiated and signed a contract stating that they agree to work overtime at the employer or client's request (presumably with some language around hours, what they receive in compensation for offering this, etc), it's entirely at the discretion of the employee or contractor if they are willing to consider working overtime, and what they request in exchange for it, to see if a new commercial deal favorable to both parties can be negotiated.

People are using AI for therapy, whether the tech is ready for it or not
If your queues are empty, you're wasting money paying your cloud / hosting provider too much. What matters is utilization. Once utilization hits ~80%, your queue will grow rapidy. Keep utilization below 80% and you've got a decent tradeoff between throughput and latency. It's a good rule of thumb for networks, and it's a good rule of thumb for services.
AI risk and global order: will AI governance survive a new Tech Cold War?
Starlink is available to consumers. This is not and will not be. Flagged for being super misleading.

I would love some actual Starlink competition. My parents live a 15 min drive into the mountains and due to the topography there is no cell phone service nor incentive to provide it. Starlink is the only realistic option they have for usable internet. They had viasat before and the latency is so high it was garbage to use.
It does, but IIRC Scintilla is more full-featured (e.g. I think it has better syntax highlighting support).

The costs are pretty high these days. I took a lime recently and I ended up paying a dollar more than what rideshare quoted me. In hindsight I really should just skip them and go for rideshare. The rich enclave cities in my area with their octopus like city borders have geolocked scooters. So when you are going on a major road and you go over one block into the rich angry city, the scooter loses power and you nearly die from the fickle 45mph traffic on your tail that is now angry at you even more than they were previously.
Hah, unfortunately this bit of "poetry" wasn't intentional. I just meant that C does care about whitespace, just not a lot.
I did not say the entire curve is over fitted, I said that in some circumstances with highly sophisticated models you get over fitting.

Humans over fit in different ways. A human who saw security code that introduced a buffer overflow bug that made it vulnerable to attack might make the mistake of implementing new code in a similar way and introducing a similar bug. The human isn’t deliberately introducing bugs, they didn’t spot the bug.

When an LLM over fits the point is it does spot the bug. Because the input training programs define the goal, introducing bugs like that becomes one of the goals for the LLM. This is a consequence of the different way LLMs encode knowledge.

More technically, it’s the different ways humans and LLMs infer goals, which is an important aspect of it.

Anyway this has become a long thread, much appreciated. I’ll just summarise by saying it seems like there are many radically different and perhaps infinite possible ways question response could be implemented. Just because the surface responses these things produce in some ways seem analogous to the responses humans provide in many cases really shouldn’t be taken as evidence they perform them the same way we do. Especially given their neural architecture is radically different from ours. So how about we say we’ll keep open minds about the future development of this technology.
Kinda by definition the people you hear about are the people that are talking about it and not the people that are using it.
Stripe Atlas?
The van Allen radiation belt [1] starts at 650 km (and ends at 58,000 km).
The satellites would probably have a shorter lifetime if they were higher.

Since the speed of light is 300,000 km/s, adding 300 km adds one millisecond of delay, or 2 milliseconds to a roundtrip. Doesn't seem a lot for satellite internet?

Geostationary orbit is at 36,000 km, then for lag that is indeed problematic as it's then 240 ms for a round trip. Still bearable.

> In Ghana the implicit taxation on cocoa farmers increased from 20 per cent in 1960 to more than 80 per cent around 1980. Even more ruinous was the absurdly overvalued exchange rate which robbed Ghana’s farmers of any incentive to export their cocoa beans. The cocoa harvest collapsed by two thirds. Ghana was overwhelmed by foreign debts and reduced to trading cocoa beans for East German chemicals and Cuban sugar. In 1983 GDP per capita was 25 percent below its level at independence.

Again and again - you're much more likely to be abused by your own government than someone else's.
Companies don't owe workers a permanent position. The company has a certain amount of permanent positions and a certain amount of temporary positions. The contract workers, for whatever reason, chose the temporary position. Either they didn't want to permanent position, or they wanted the permanent position but they weren't good enough to compete for the permanent position and got a temporary position instead.

Regardless, are you saying that the company owes these people a permanent position?

> the barrier of entry to sending email on your own is quite a bit above zero

I can attest to this. I ran my own email server with no problem for fifteen years. Then my provider was acquired, and I decided to switch to a different provider, and so the IP address of my server changed for the first time in 15 years. I have not been able to reliably send email since, and I finally threw in the towel and signed up with Fastmail to handle my outgoing email.

The biggest problem is people banning entire blocks of IP addresses. This can give you a bad reputation even if your behavior is stellar. All it takes is for someone using the same hosting provider to be a spammer to get yourself blacklisted.

The whole situation sucks big fat honking weenies.

Will they make a couple more $ out of this? Maybe.

I suspect they'd rather not have a proliferation of developers farming out their profiles and dealing with it on the service/support side. Developers with pseudo-ownership of strangers devices and users who don't fully understand what they are agreeing to with tying their device to a unknown developer can't be fun.

> Lets remember that the DMCA is what allows providers like youtube to host content without being liable to the copyright infringement of its users.

It arguably doesn’t actually allow sites very specifically like Youtube to do that, which is why YouTube has a separate and more draconian arrangement with major rights holders, created in response to previous litigation and litigation threats, and is also currently being sued by a variety of rights holders in a suit which hasn’t been easily been barred by the DMCA safe harbor.
The IRS ensured that contract workers cannot work at a company for more than a certain amount of time before they are automatically turned into employees. That's why companies rotate contract workers off jobs when they hit a certain time limit.
Title would be better corrected as "website hosting". Self-hosting became a term for a much more ambitious scene to provide all kinds of services usually offered by FAANG/"big players", mostly in opposition to them.

It's still useful on non-simple compilers when mixing inline assembly and c, for example `register __m128 foo asm("ymm7")`.

I presume you angered the Duff Defenders (there are those that feel C shouldn’t be taught unless you’re taught all the weird things it can do).
I'm hoping that's the unstated underlying opinion the wider dev community is operating on. That's enough to satisfy me.
I like this point. There's something valuable about documenting who you are at a given point in your life, because you lose a certain amount of recall or resolution once you've move too far away from that period.

While I've never written a memoir, looking back on my journals from 15 years ago shows me a very different person that I don't remember at ALL. I was stupider (no surprise there), fairly self-centered, and very angry. The anger surprised me a lot because I have no recollection of it. But it's great to look back and see how I've matured, how my values have changed, and how I spent my time.

I'm very interested in this idea of being able to map how we as individuals grow and change over long periods of time. It seems like a poorly represented field of study. If anyone knows of resources, disciplines, or people who that are related to this idea I would love to hear about them.
If you want to have rapid responses, you basically want to have the first part of the response ready to go as soon as it is detected the user is no longer speaking. Were they asking a question? While the actual answer is being processed, start responding with "let me answer that for you..." or something like that.

You are lying and putting words in my mouth. I never said they should be happy about it. But the reality is that they have a temporary position, not a permanent position and they should accept this reality. They were hired as a temporary worker, not a permanent worker. End of story. There is no confusion here.

If they are looking for a permanent position, they should find a job with a permanent position. If those jobs aren't available or they aren't qualified for them... are you saying they deserve a permanent position anyway?
Cache files are frequently non-trivial in size and go into ~/Library/Caches, and those are not cleaned up automatically.
Those are not solutions to “I don’t know how to host”, those are solutions to “I don’t know or want to know anything about how websites work below the GUI layer”. The hosting (in terms of dns and serving the bits) is almost incidental to their business model of designing and managing.
I could never have done that. Never bought into the crypto hype, even though I still find the blockchain very interesting. Never had a cent in crypto currency or NFT.

In fact, I’m extremely averse to hype, perhaps almost to a pathological degree.

And yet, I can’t remember when I was more scared and excited about some tech. Take that as you wish.

You're being really generous to the documentation at Docker. It stinks and doesn't make it clear that it punches a hole in your firewall.

Neither the compose quickstart [1], nor the compose specification [2] mention anything about iptables nor firewalls. The compose specification adds more details than the quickstart, but... it's obtuse, and overall a 12,000 word document! Surely that incredibly important information that has demonstrably and unexpectedly led to external access should be contained in either of these documents! Surely you can agree that their documentation should contain either the word "iptables" or "firewall"?!

You don't have to have that. Expectations have just increased since 2003.
Not sure why you'd self-host a public site from home when you can get a VM from https://www.hetzner.com/cloud for € 4.81 /mo (1vCPU / 2GB RAM / 20 TB bandwidth) with much better internet access. Residential internet connections are more unreliable, have poor upload speeds and requires running a server 24/7 with ongoing electricity running costs.

Or if it's a static rendered website you can publish on GitHub Pages for free and use a CNAME to use a custom domain which is what we do for our docs https://docs.servicestack.net created with https://vitepress.vuejs.org that uses GitHub Actions to automatically build and publish the site on commit.

I was thinking recently when reading that OpenAI is piping some of the textual prompts into iPython based on some rules, for example when someone asks for an answer that requires math. I could see ChatGPT piping to "itself" in the background and potentially having specialized AIs that would figure out better prompts from your prompt for example, among other obvious specialised ones like piping to image generation models and so on. You'd obviously also use an AI to choose what to pipe too. I agree with you eventually it'll be AI all the way down.

I don’t have concrete numbers either, so take this with a grain of salt (heh), but my experiences working with chefs is that it generally does make economic sense - and when it’s on the margin, most chefs also have a bit of professional pride that will tip the scales. Labour in the restaurant kitchen has an element of the “on-call” dynamic: you have to have enough hands in the kitchen to handle the peak (which generally lasts around 2 hours) but there’s downtime before and after the peak where they do prep work. Stock fits pretty neatly into ”start it before lunch service and finish it after dinner service”, for example.

One place I worked had buffalo wings on their snack menu, a fried chicken option on their burger menu, and chicken breast schnitzel as a main - the head chef’s costing showed the cheapest option was “process whole chickens: wings for the wings, deboned thighs for the burgers, deboned breasts for the schnitzel”. Put a 20 gallon pot instead of a garbage bin next to whoever’s processing the chickens and you get the meat for chicken stock for free. The wings, burgers, and schnitzels didn’t always sell at the same ratios so you’d sometimes have an excess of one of them from yesterday; that goes in the pot as well. The veggies don’t take long and the pot goes on a burner all day. Any chef walking by during lunch or dinner service skims the froth. When dinner service is winding up, pour it through a strainer to store. (Make sure you do this before the dishie is done for the evening so you can make them clean the pot.)

Because it was so integrated into other necessary processes, it was almost free, and they found a lot of uses for it.

>If you work for a large company most of your day is spent understanding domain specific problems then executing on that.

... which involves fetching some data, displaying it, maybe doing some basic arithmetic and then shuffling it off to a DB?

drudgery.

bring the machines on so we don;t have to deal with this nonsense any more.
it is safer. because you have to make the explicit cast, which either the compiler or a linter can, and should, warn you about.

and your post does not illustrate a macro. and if it did, the compiler/linter could diagnose it.
Meta just gave thousands of employees poor performance reviews
I've been digging into Common Lisp again lately. I'm really enjoying some parts: CLIM is weird but interesting, and the fact that I'm basically developing inside a debugger makes testing and iterating on stuff pretty straightforward. On the other hand, library documentation frequently feels more like the programmer was making notes to himself rather than illustrating how the code might actually be used. I was also pretty shocked when, after using a quick shell script to generate a file containing a big list (~80MB on disk, 800k items) defined in s-expressions, reading it into SBCL exhausted the heap. After telling SBCL it could allocate two gigabytes I was able to read the file, but doing anything with it was a sure-fire way to run out of memory again. I would never think twice about reading an 80MB file into a Go program!

I sort of feel like I'm walking through an abandoned alien city and wondering what size they were, how many limbs they had, and if we share the same 5 senses or not.
The subtitle raises a great question "Why was such a large amount of this chemical being transported by rail in the first place?" which the article wholly fails to address, for some reason.

Indeed. And it is barely possible to keep from having a credit report at all depending on what you do. But it is difficult to avoid any of those forms.
I think the problem was not that Twitter started charging $8/month ago much as that they gave up the expensive-to-perform ID verification workflow that had been in place.

The CA system, on the other hand, has more or less abandoned the expensive, manual "extended verification" process in favor of the zero marginal cost "domain verification" process. This switchover drove the cost of a new cert to $0 for almost all users.

So I'm really not following your analogy, since Twitter gave up the workflow and started charging (aka, a cash grab), whereas CAs gave up charging and adopted a more efficient workflow (aka the expected behavior of efficient markets).
This is a trend that needs to be sharply curtailed. The last time I _re-started_ my Big Blue Button server it automatically installed UFW along with it's own ruleset completely locking me out as I run SSHD on a non-standard port. All without asking or even telling me it was going to do this. Aargh!

This is primarily a growth model/strategy not an accounting method, and these metrics have been very common in startupland for quite a few years.

Customer acquisition cost (CAC) is paired with lifetime value (LTV). The length of time you're on "loan" to the company doesn't really matter as long as LTV is higher than CAC.

This model is commonly used for subscription businesses, where assuming each purchase is independent is not really appropriate because they are recurring.
