Personally I would draw the line where the tools I'm ultimately relying on to create art don't function at all without having millions of works by other artists baked into them. You can say that's how my brain is doing it anyway—and sure, you might be right to a first approximation—but isn't that the whole point? If I'm not even capable of executing that synthesis in some medium X myself, but rather have to outsource it to a computer program, then I'm more technician than artist.

It's something I don't expect people who have never seriously engaged with an artistic process to understand. Art is interesting when the artist discovered things in creating it, and you are not going to discover much by typing in a few sentences of prompt and maybe touching up the image (or story, or whatever) the model makes for you.

"Cheating" is a loaded and generally unsuitable word based on an infantile understanding of why art matters. The universe doesn't give a shit whether you do it yourself or get a machine to do it for you, and neither do I, really. Modulo speculative impacts on economy and culture, these are obviously useful tools and I don't have any moral issue with people using them. But I will say that if those people are aiming to create art rather than engage in a process of design, then by using these tools in their primary creative workflows they are depriving themselves of a priceless journey. That's why it matters.

It's a bit like sitting in your car at a trailhead and flying a drone out to the end of the trail and back rather than doing the walking yourself. Not only are you potentially ruining the experience for others (see: the recent Clarke's World closure to submissions), you're vastly cheapening it for yourself too. Most people in today's discourse are focusing on the former, but I think the latter is more interesting and important.
Do we know if Apple is getting rid of the notch for M3 macbooks in favor of the "dynamic island" solution from iPhone 14 Pro?
I take your point; I have no idea of the magnitude of this effect in proportion to the total weight. I do wonder if a combination of the airspeed instrument readings, their fluctuation, and fluctuations in the measured weight could be used to estimate the influence of the wind (an application for machine learning?) but even so, that would mean that it would no longer be a simple solution.
Definitely other products at Walmart vary this way, I notice it as a frequent traveler across the US, I think practically all SKUs are fair game. Dehydrated camping meals are one thing I frequently take advantage of when I'm traveling and can grab them for lower price, sometimes up to 50% lower than my 'home' Walmarts.

Interesting to ponder where Bentonville area stores fall on this continuum. (Headquarters of Walmart in a small town in Arkansas) Anyone have anecdata?
What the people who introduced legislation don't realise is how they have been made to be used as useful tools, take all the focus on the number of hate attacks on Hindus away from attention and focus on some minor disagreements that are not really present in day to day society for most.

I mean its pretty stupid when rather than trying to reduce racism against Hindus and Indians, some useful idiots have been used in the Indian community to shoot themselves in the foot.

Looks cool. A search functionality would be nice.

I am the kind of person who wants the easiest possible set up for my ideas so I can make them in a weekend. I also want them to be server hostable for as little money as possible.

Firebase or Amplify are great for making things really quickly. But even last weekend, dealing with Amplify for the first time, there are still a ton of things that aren't done for you that I'd like.

A proper Amplify + Next.JS + Typescript + Tailwind starter would be nice. Those tools are great for speed running your side projects. And Amplify does the CI/CD + hosting + domain set up for you.

That sounds great except I never use siri...(in car commands being the exception).
If you're simply using EC2 hardware I agree but then you might as well go for a lower-level hosting provider which will be much cheaper.

The point of Cloud Services is to provide all these additional services.

If you don't use those services then the flexibility is relatively trivial to achieve.
I'm interested in your answer, not because I'm looking for a debate, I'm just curious about the situation in general.

What, no passport check? Although I can see an Angeleno thinking you needed a passport to visit Northern California, understandable mistake.
Femininity or masculinity are defined by culture, and modern society has lost them on the road of equality. It's quite common with younger people to not have a clear definition of normal femininity and masculinity. After all, everyone can be everything and do everything, so there is no specific difference between the sexes to define the traits, beyond biology. And even biology is questioned in recent years because of trans.

I think there's something a bit misleading about these prices.

This is reporting prices of $2.76 per dozen at a Wallmart near me. I happened to visit that store yesterday and I know damn well there were no eggs being sold at even remotely close to that low price.

The Eggspensive site seems to be picking up on this dozen eggs, which happens to be not available at this or any other store in the region. They also are not available to purchase online. The site says they can be shipped in 3 days but it doesn't give me an add-to-cart button.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Large-White-Eggs-12-C...

I don't know how it's scraping prices, but it should discriminate as to whether eggs at a price are even available.

EDIT: Actually, those exact eggs seem responsible for making most of Southern California appear to have insanely cheap eggs. Outside of getting lucky, this is almost certainly not the case. Go to any grocery store in SoCal and you'll primarily see eggs between $5 and $8, if not exclusively.

Nicely made site, though! Keep up the good work.

Cool! It would be nice to use this to quickly iterate on the prompts I plan to use within https://app.habitstack.com. Basically, supply the user input in the query string and get back the result. Then in Pancaik see the log of combined prompts, the results, and be able to fine tune the prompts over time. Any plans to go that direction?

This is true, but it also dilutes the usefulness.

If I tell someone "if you improve documentation, you will get a $10k raise", then I am tying a very well defined reward a very poorly defined task.

"Improve documentation" could mean fixing some typos. Or it could mean documenting every un-documented public class and method. Or it could mean refactoring code to make it easier to use so less documentation is needed.

These all have very different value. In a year's time, I'd have to justify why only one of them actually might warrant the 10k raise. It is *much* worse to tell someone "you were promised a raise... now you aren't getting it", than to never offer or give the raise in the first place.
Specifically you need the 14 or 16 inch M1 Pro for multiple display outputs. The M1 Pro 13 inch only supports one external display. Same with the M2 Pro 13 inch.

Yes, $1.82 in the three Ohio Walmarts surrounding East Palestine
I don't think it's specific to walmart, I've noticed that prices in supermarkets (Target, Walmart, etc.) located in lower priced neighborhoods tend to be lower than those in higher priced neighborhoods. The same item, same brand, same everything, but price difference can be from 10-30% different, sometimes more.
Heh - seems like we had a similar path...

I ended up making a lot of coffee and doing a lot of crap work for the best coders in the companies I worked for, just so I could look over their shoulders and learn :-D
"I heard in America they have to put a warning on the microwave ovens to not put any live animals inside"

They heard wrong. Source: looked at my microwave.
Alternately: some neighborhoods are less price sensitive and there’s not really a problem.

The positive flip side is that the “low” prices in a given region are probably lower than they would be if the stores had more efficient competition, and that’s to the benefit of people who are price sensitive.

I find VSCode to be responsive and snappy and I am on older hardware (Mid 2014 macbook pro). I don't go overboard with thousands of extensions though, but I like the flexibility and use a few "more heavy" extensions like the jupyter extension. I have to say I am very satisfied by my editor and I can not really understand the VSCode hate.

But I only use python and no demanding software like docker.
There aren't many things an average human can do that is quite as destructive as causing a 200 acre forest fire. I'm really trying to figure out anything that could cause that much widespread damage, but nothing is coming up.

The case focuses on other stuff because it adds to the recklessness charge. He started a massive forest fire because he got into a bad situation because of recklessness.
> I'd rather you write a sensitive one.

Some people are completely incapable of this, through no fault of their own, even though they feel empathy internally - they just struggle to externalize it. We should be encouraging people to use tools that can help to improve expressions of empathy, not shaming people for not being able to do it.
Ha! That reminded me of a time in my teens (25 years ago). I have always been extremely shy, and thus was the one in my (male) friend group without a girlfriend.

Two times, a friend of mine fixed a meeting with a girl (different girl each time) where he told the girl that "his friend liked her" (I was his friend) and also told me that "her friend liked me". At parties, we got to meet (each with the assumption that the other person liked us) and both times we became boyfriend/girlfriends.

Both times we were very young to get into a long term relationship (I was 15 at the time), but in hindsight, I am impressed how simple it was. Just a matter of "breaking" that illusory barrier of fear of rejection.
> By this point the person is already hampered in the social department. Not only he or she was not able to socialize with his or her peers and the system already forced him to isolation and alienation from the peers to compete, but also because his peers have been brought up and educated with the same competitive mentality, the human social traits that our species have developed are already hampered or repressed. The peers are competition, not people to cooperate, collaborate, less, live together to support each other.

Students did the same in the Soviet Union. Graduation exams sorted not just who got which universities (if any at all) but which subjects they would spend their time in. Competition didn't disappear behind the iron curtain.

> The co-workers or acquaintances frequently leaving their jobs for a better opportunity somewhere does not help - you know that even if you hit it off with some person you met in your job or locale, that person can move away tomorrow in a flash. Which makes you further wary of creating any social bond that can be broken by next week.

In the Soviet Union, you never knew when your friends and family would "disappear" either. Many Soviet citizens lived in a state of fear that they'd be next. That also makes you wary about who you associate with.
TIL! I was clearly going off a commonly parroted example/story that I needed to do more research on. Appreciate it.
You can also do this with fast food restaurants. A great example near me is a Taco Bell that doesn't have a drive through but is surrounded by a bunch of apartments where the nearby locations that do have drive up windows are cheaper.

I would be curious to know the wealth gap between those two areas, but my gut would assume the more expensive eggs are at the poorer Walmart. Captive audience with less options. It's expensive to be poor. (Like that Taco Bell example)
True; I really mean in terms of being able to quickly move the worker machines to a new cloud to take advantage of price differences. So far we have manually moved around which is painful but saves us a bunch of money.
You list two things that are fundamentally incompatible:

> I think there's space for Amazon's uncaring, industrial approach to do good for people and improve quality of life.

> [I want a] minimum standard of service. Doctors who won't immediately rush you out the door without solving the root cause, who won't prescribe you medication that they were sold over lunch, who'll listen to your symptoms, and because the outcome is measured by Amazon's uncaring data collection machinery, they're incentivized to actually solve the issue.

Anyone who has actual clinical experience will tell you that an "uncaring data collection machinery" does not incentivize anyone to "actually solve the issue". Quite the opposite: the reason that the patient experience has gotten worse over the last few decades is because the industry has already been moving towards an "uncaring data collection machinery", while simultaneously squeezing providers and narrowing their already-small margins[0] and as it turns out, uncaring data collection machineries don't care about patients.

Amazon's entire modus operandi fits very well with the absolute worst[1] forces that already exist within the healthcare industry, so it's quite hard to imagine a world in which this actually works out to patients' benefit in the long run. They might sprinkle a few shiny bells and whistles on top to placate people's fear, but actual care delivery is going to suffer in pretty much every way that you list aspirationally.

[0] People sometimes treat this as a victory because they think that it'll lead to lower healthcare costs, but providers' pay actually makes up a very small fraction of healthcare spending in the US. Even if you could eliminate those costs entirely without impacting clinical care delivery or patients in any way (which is impossible), it would still translate to a 15% reduction (which wouldn't even be passed on to patients anyway, because the system incentivizes insurers to increase costs on the claims side to increase their own earnings)

[1] worst for everyone involved except shareholders
Its not punitive.

2) Recklessness was from the fact that he walked away after setting a goddamn tree on fire, without any thought to prevent the fire from spreading
> there are a lot of drive-by rust critics who spout of stuff they've read that plainly haven't really tried using rust themselves;

I haven't come across this so much. More the kind of YA male philosophy undergrad types (of all ages & genders) which tech in general and Rust in particular seems to attract. These people just like to argue. A lot. In interminable screeds, often on the Rust user forum.

The attitude is certainly more loud than universal. Many of the most thoughtful (and helpful) Rust insiders recognise the language's difficulty. The Rust Foundation certainly does, to the point that making Rust more tractable to learners is one of its current stated goals.

> I think it'd be a shame for other people in my shoes to not even explore the possibility

Rust's current cultural kudos in dev circles is such that I don't believe this is really a factor. Many want to try it. It's more that Rust is just difficult for many to actually work with. I don't mean 'learn' in the absolute beginner sense. There's no shortage of excellent and generously accessible materials (the Rust Book amongst others). They're not that difficult to get through. But many find that once they've got a minor grasp on the whole language, it's just a real slog to get anything substantial done with it. Getting through all the Rustlings doesn't mean you can get anywhere near writing real software at a motivating pace. This is certainly my experience, and that of all the pro devs I personally know who have started to learn Rust, all of whom (other than me) have dropped out in frustration. All of whom (including me) have by the way learned and used many other languages without the same troubles.

Pretending (or passively-aggressively asserting in response, as so many do) that Rust is easy does nothing other than (truthfully or not) trumpet the abilities of the arguer.

My guess is there are many factors at play. Some of it may be attachment on the part of those who have clearly exerted great efforts to learn Rust, and perceive assertions that Rust is difficult to be negative criticism (often wrongly). Partly it's the argumentative immature adults that tech fields so often attract. We all know them. It's my guess that Rust, being more towards the techy end of that spectrum, does so particularly (I don't know if this is equally true for C/C++). Partly it might be Rust's self-conscious inclusiveness: a positive in itself, like many similar ideals it can lead to aggressive denial when more clung to as an identity than pursued on as an aspiration.

There you go. My interminable screed. Maybe I would fit into the Rust 'community' after all.
Even with general goals like that you might find priorities shift and you need to focus on other things.
Lots of things have eggs as an ingredient, from breakfasts, to breads, pastries, ramens and pastas.
> filmmakers have learned to make more exciting films

Filmmakers have learned how to optimize for a very specific kind of "excitement", but I disagree that movies are more exciting now than they used to be.

The most exciting and engaging movies I can think of are all pretty old.
Paraphrasing a little bit, but

> Why don't you start X to compete with a trillion dollar behemoth Y?

Because if they think they can make a profit, they have a trillion dollar that they will freely leverage to strangle the living air out of your company. Weak US anti-trust laws won't do anything until there is a "significant, provable harm to the consumer".

The general lesson here is more capitalism won't solve the issues of unchecked capitalism, you will have to get the legislative system to intervene to make sure you can have fair competition in the market.
Boys are constantly chided for pursuing women all through school and the media. Getting denounced as creepy or weird. Actually following that advice will lead you to die alone though.
This is so close to a demonstration of my point that I'm tempted to believe it's satire.
Also lots of "spooky mutation at a distance" bugs. Anywhere you see languages like Java or Python using immutable data structures, that's a place where I think Rust's shared/mut distinction solves the same problem more cleanly. And to be fair to C and C++, they also do this pretty well, if you go through the trouble of making your code const-correct.
Anybody who follows Apple and their relationship with TMSC knows that this scenario is very likely.

February 20 2014. What exactly do you think this war is about?

Do you think Russia has made the world safer since then? Do you think Crimea or Donbass belongs to Russia? Do you think Kiev is full of neonazis that only a Russian special military operation using artillery, cruise missiles, rape and torture can get rid of?

>music pricing.

For sure. My memory of those days is getting hazy, but IIRC CD's from top artists were going for $15-$16 in the late 90's. Maybe $12 if you were lucky. Considering inflation and that you might only want two of the twelve songs on the disk, you could easily be paying $10/song (in 2023 dollars). Big chunk of change especially for a pre-teen or teenager.
This is great. As a European, I would have thought the Southern USA would be the poorest states, so the cheapest. But it looks like the Midwest actually has the cheapest eggs?
I think we're talking about ambiguous relationships, not open ones.
That’s crazy. Just across the border in Canada, we are currently paying $2.21/dozen (converted to USD).
> We're you around for the 6+ and 6s+?

yep, but I bought it late in its lifecycle
Gotcha. That’s exactly the problem I am trying to solve, using just the ec2 style hardware, and being able to spin up on smaller clouds like coreweave to take advantage of availability and prices.
I would also add a lot of years I got goals that I didn't agree w/ technical direction. For instance if I get goal to switch some system architecture to X but that's a bad idea and I document and provide evidence why that's a bad idea and it doesn't happen maybe I shouldn't be docked at the end of the year? If anything I should be rewarded but some higher up will be pissed I poo poo'd on their vision and suffer.
I have a habit of searching for “<famous book> criticism” before I read popular books. So I did find this article and the discussion on Reddit [1]. I came to the conclusion that the book won’t pass a complete scientific scrutiny but it’s still directionally accurate for me to not dismiss it.

Another great example are Avocados, Papayas, Zapotes, Honey-locusts and other American large-seeded fruit that have no known seed dispersal mechanism anymore. All the big mammals that like giant sloth (and again, the mammoth) that would eat the fruit and later poop the seed somewhere else are gone and it's kind of a surprise that so many of those survived the last 13,000 years (and nobody knows what we may have lost during that time).
>Species going extinct doesn't make the world deader.

It depends on why the went extinct. If they went extinct because humans destroyed the habitat, rather than being out competed, then it's unlikely as much life or any life can just move in.

To be clear, I fully agree that the water laws should be changed. I'm saying that based on the nature and longevity of the laws, along with the political dynamics of the state (controlled by real state and big ag interests), it is extremely difficult to change them. It's usually poor neighborhoods that get bulldozed and gentrified for a football stadium, so not an apt comparison.
