There were no official prices on the twitter pages for the search endpoints and the powertrack apis. I tried to inquire and that is when I found out about the pricing changes (I am @blackforestboi on Twitter).
There were some prices mentioned about the Account Activity API which were also quite pricey already. I think something like $2500 to follow updates of 500 accounts or so.

The key difference is that most APIs consumers and projects used were the v1.1 and v2 apis which were free to use with rate limits that were actually quite generous.
(tweets, timelines, messages, bookmarks, lists, followers etc)

Now those APIs are all behind that enterprise paywall with that entry price of $42.000

Self-reported mental issues are kind of like rape and sexual abuse reports in Sweden: when police started to take them seriously, the number exploded, apparently showing things were getting much worse when in fact they were getting better.

There was always a massive disease burden hidden away in the younger generation, schizophrenic and depressive adults don't just spontaneously emerge. It's just that they wouldn't know about it and their family strongly resisted the notion they have the "crazy" kid, because the stigma was unbearable. Those kids would show up as "slow learners", "attention issues", "troubled", "aggressive", in the penal system, addicts etc. and only much later, if they were lucky, get any kind of treatment for the underlying issue.

Remove the stigma and provide resources and many children will use them, perhaps to the point of over-medicalizing normal human variance.
I got a Macbook 12". That's pretty much a premium netbook, and it's fantastic.

It's not a powerhouse, but it handles Docker, Sublime Text and Firefox together just fine. It's absurdly small and light, and perfect for café hopping on a bicycle.

One style that haven't seen discussed is a hybrid / mixture of in-code (e.g. printf trace-logs) and out-of-code (using external tools like an attached debugger) debugging.

What I do is I encode conditional breakpoints in the source code, (compile and) run the program with a debugger attached. The nice thing is you can have complex conditions using all kinds of functions from your surrounding code and you can have them permanently, even check them into the VCS. It is kind of like placing asserts which don't panic but trap into the debugger and they can be globally enabled / disabled.

Not meaningfully—at least, not from LLMs.

Sure, companies might be able to have ChatGPT and its brethren spit out marketing copy and similar types of writing that are, to a large extent, about chasing the lowest common denominator. But even if we grant for the sake of argument that it's possible to train an LLM that can create, say, a brand-new "Shakespeare" play, without enough input and tweaking that it will take a writer or a liberal arts major to do it anyway, that day is a long, long way off.

No; the only people I've heard talking about how all the knowledge jobs will be automated away by ChatGPT (or, more commonly, just all the "unproductive" humanities-type jobs—because, of course, the humanities are something we can totally hand over to LLMs with no negative consequences) are more tech-oriented people with vastly inflated ideas of ChatGPT's abilities and the tech sector's primacy in the world. The humanities people I've talked to about the subject tend to fall either into the "this is a bunch of BS hype" camp or the "I've watched too many sci-fi movies and think Skynet is launching tomorrow" camp.

Some CDNs handle range requests; the purpose of introducing Lambda/Workers here is to transform normal Z/X/Y URLs into range requests, so you can use PMTiles with any client like MapLibre Native or legacy code without loading a plugin.

Protomaps actually has its own vector renderer different from Mapbox GL or MapLibre at https://github.com/protomaps/protomaps.js . It does use a handful of low-level Mapbox JavaScript libraries, but otherwise was consciously developed to be 100% separate from existing Mapbox rendering and styling code, and has an objectively inferior (Leaflet) user experience.

In practice, most serious uses of Protomaps are now using MapLibre GL, so there will be more focus going on that in the project going forward.
I imagine a lot of them are doing this. My experience with Done (donefirst.com) was super sketchy and terrible. The whole thing is fake it till you make it energy.
This seems to reinforce the 'don't panic' aspect though -- depositors have never lost FDIC insured funds in the ~90 years it's been operating. And none of the depositors in the list of failed US banks lost a penny either.
Cerebral became famous for selling Adderall and Xanax prescriptions as a subscription service. They advertised on social media sites like TikTok. The “patients” were rushed through the minimal telehealth screenings that they could get away with before writing the prescription, as providers were incentivized to do as many calls per hour as they could.

Worse, whistleblowers have revealed that the company was encouraging their providers to write more Schedule II prescriptions (high addictive potential) and avoid the non-addictive alternatives because they determined they the Schedule II patients had a higher retention rate: https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/9/23063356/cerebral-teleheal...

Multiple major pharmacies refused to fill prescriptions from Cerebral because it was such a blatant internet prescription mill. I was a mentor in a remote mentoring program at a time and it was stunning to see the Slack side conversations where college students were bragging about how easily they were getting high-dose Adderall prescriptions from the company after consultations measured in a couple minutes. One person shared a link to a script people were using that would trigger the providers to increase their dose on every visit, including lying about certain factors to help overcome provider concerns about going into high doses. One student had reached 60mg of Adderall per day (the maximum dose, far above common dosing) and was clearly overstimulated, unwell, and, frankly, hooked on their new stimulant source.

Terrible company. It’s going to leave a mark on the availability of ADHD treatment for years to come, I’m afraid.

I worked at a GM sized company right out of college and they did a voluntary early retirement thing like this. It was one week’s salary for every year of service with the company plus they’d pay your health insurance premiums for the rest of the calendar year.

They had a lot of people who planned to retire in 1-3 years take that offer and I knew quite a few who came back within a couple of months for a higher salary than they previously had.
Here’s somethingI don’t understand. Say you raise $100m funding round. Investors just give you the entire amount, in cash? And companies just put that entire cash amount in a bank?

It seems like it would be better for VCs to keep the money, invest it (in, I don’t know, the S&P500), and then pay out to the companies on a monthly basis or some other terms.

I can’t fathom how there are hundreds of companies, each with 10s of millions of dollars, just sitting in a zero interest bank account?

Any EU state institution which can package their motives behind a shallow "national security" excuse can exempt itself from GDPR.

Gary Lineker, who presents on the BBC, responded with hysterical comment "This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the ’30s'".

Tim Davie, a director at the BBC, said "If you want to be an opinionated columnist or a partisan campaigner on social media then that is a valid choice, but you should not be working at the BBC."

If this is the BBC "moving right", it's hard to imagine that such a change is a bad thing.

The thing is, his TCO would include training, rebuilding their existing processes and procedures, and having to run stuff in parallel for a while. That's not including a re-architecture and the impact it would have on their stuff today.

Sometimes all people need is a big box in a data center. Management of the environment is already a sunk cost. The hardware is already expensed. They don't care about scalability/DR/etc.

From a hard dollar point of view staying colo makes sense. Plus politically they don't want to do it, which is really the only point of view that mattered.

If they needed to have actual DR then the numbers would be different.
I'm happy to chose to have an experience, frankly I enjoy fine dining. But I refuse to go if I can't get access to the prices beforehand. There is a difference between an authentic experience (say the opera) and using it as a manipulative tactic. Do not get between me and the information. If I call an ask how much the lobster bisque is, don't tell me to hold while they get ahold of someone who can say it with a French accent. This is about empowering the consumer.

I recently switched from using physical notebooks to entirely digital. I can't see myself ever going back.

I'm lefty, so my hand cramps when I write. I now get to type all day with my lovely Moonlander ZSA keyboard.

I'm forever flipping back and forth pages to try and find notes. Now I search by tags and links, using Obsidian. Every journal entry has a list of links to my notes I made that day, so I know when I wrote everything.

I can put pictures in my notes! I could do that before, but I'd have an awkward bit of paper stuffed in there, and by notebook completion it'd be stuffed with loose paper.

I would always carry a pocket notepad with me. It'd be in bits by the end of the month. Now, I can carry every note I've ever taken on the phone in my pocket.

I always felt a little guilty about all the paper. I'm minimalist by nature. Now, it's all stored on a NAS and Cloud storage. I brought all my stored notes to a place for scanning, then proceeded to dump them. It was so liberating.

I had 2 boxes that I carried from place to place with all my notes. Now they can fit on a thumb drive. I could fit almost everything I own in the back of my Peugeot 207.

Don't get me wrong, I know it's not as effective for memorization, but the benefits have so far vastly outweighed the cons.
Indeed it is. Doesn't mean I'm willing to go along with more of it.
>banks holding securities that they are required to hold by law

Not an expert in this area but when distilling everything I understand about this topic, it seems like big banks (too big to fail?) collude with the federal reserve to rob smaller banks (of clients and value) using interest rate games and these "requirements" every x years.

If anyone has an explanation as to why that's a wrong conclusion, please share.
Pension should be transferred to this person.
Alternately, defining harassment solely based on the perceptions of the receiver, as many organizations do, creates a comparable problem of subjectivity. Perhaps something like commonly-agreed "community standards" should be the guide.
Don't forget CompuServe and Prodigy, which predates the consumer internet. Back in the late '80s my parents subscribed to these, and I would read and post on their comic book forums, arguing about which super hero could beat who.
If you put your pet rock in a room and severely neglect it, it will fail to develop human language. That doesn't mean you can expect it to.

ChatGPT isn't magic, and it's not a person either. It's a language model. Specifically, it's an implicit model of semantics.

If you gave it pure random data to model, it would; and that model would be useless, because it is only patterns of noise.
Apart from the glyphs (the character shapes) there's also the unique kerning data, ligatures/sequences of characters that produce other outputs, hinting data (for monitor displays) and such.

Exactly, and just to drive it home, I’m going to feel zero pain as a result of SVB imploding, Thanks to the fed.

I felt no pain in ‘08, in ‘20, also thanks to the fed. It was just news to me, abstract and happening to other people. That would not have been true without the fed.
Sure, but it's debatable whether spending a few $T more in early 2021 was more helpful than not.
For customers who are startups, investors, and large tech concerns, FDIC insurance of $250k may not cover the balance. Sure don't want the $2M you have left from your last funding round to evaporate, or even be frozen.
Only 3% of deposits in the bank are FDIC insured; other depositors will need to wait for the receivership process to run to get access to (what remains) of their deposits.

edit: replace "bankruptcy" with "receivership" as the latter is usually a faster process than the former.
I tried to check it out, but it wanted me to create an account just to try it. I had basically the same reaction as I wrote about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35012760#35012890 (top comment).

As long as your product is decent (and even more if your product is good or great!), this conversion funnel:

discover product -> try product -> sign up

… will generally be more successful than this funnel (which is what it has now):

discover product -> sign up -> try product

In a sense, it seems like you realized that and wrote the button text accordingly ("Get started," "Try now for free"). It's just that the buttons don't actually let me get started or try it, they go to a sign up form. At a minimum, let visitors try it without an account.

In your case, this funnel might be even stronger:

discover product -> try product -> let user save & return to conversation by signing up

The distinction is subtle, but important. Done this way, you're not asking someone to create an account just because. Rather, you're giving them a clear benefit that an account makes possible: they can save and return to the conversation they just conducted as an anonymous visitor. You might even be able to make the offer more compelling, like offering to email one sentence a day continuing on the conversation/scenario they started.

Good luck!
Well, to be fair, that's the spokesman's take on it. The truth is probably somewhere between.
As a former smartphone-using, social media-ing child, this hurts.
Per bank and per account with different ownership categories, so if a company had multiple accounts in different ownership categories those would each be insured up to $250,000
Reminds me of an old freestyle motorcycling video I saw.

This guy had a new dirt bike and said ”Yeah you’re always a little hesitant with a shiny new bike, afraid you’ll scratch it up. That’s dangerous when doing these big tricks so I like to throw the bike and scratch it up intentionally to get over that fear. Then the tricks go flying”

So he throws the bike and breaks the clutch lever. But they were in the sand dunes in the middle of nowhere to shoot this stunting video and the ride back to civilization wouldn’t come until evening. He did not get to ride that day.
If it's something he does to everyone is it really 'mansplaining'? Seems like it would just be explaining.
Uhhh. What? When was this? That's weird to hear about, because I use them on a variety of monitored sites and haven't encountered any issues.
That doesn't support the thesis that it's "fundamental to social engagement". I understand that it actually may be in some places, but I haven't seen a reason to think that's the most common case.
This looks really exciting! This is a space that's desperate for innovation. Will be interested to have a play and see what the dashboard looks like. Other options in this field like Temporal have a high learning curve and DevOps cost. Something like Cloudflare Durable Objects are also a very tempting option but require rolling your own visibility / dashboard stuff.

I'm guessing this is a "just make sure everything you do is idempotent" approach? Is there any kind of state between attempts?

Also how would you have a task with a unique id / parameter so that when you call it it will only be scheduled once and returns the result of the existing scheduled job?

Another question, how would you have custom retry logic in your job without blocking your concurrency? Or if using the platforms retry mechanism, how can you run some logic when the job fails? Can the job know what attempt it is on? Is there context of any sort? The only solution I can see from the docs would be to execute jobs recursively but that seems like it would be ugly and mess up the observability? I'm looking for a feature like Temporal's sleeping that actually does a delayed reexecution of the job (I think).

Also I can't get the discord link to work, it seems to link to a discussion rather than being an invite link (I'll give it another try on desktop)
That's fascinating. I'd love to watch a documentary about that.

> My Miele dishwasher cleaned a pot coated with burned caramel. Need I say more?

The thought of hardened caramel being melted by my dishwasher, rinsed down the drain and then re-hardening on my pipes and dishwasher internals is enough to give me nightmares.
This looks awesome. I'm really excited about trying this.

I'm curious who your target customer for this? As someone who likes to work on side projects, this seems ideal for me, but I would imagine people will graduate to more mature solutions once they have decent volume. The concurrency limit is something that seems especially concerning in that regard.
> We can snapshot the program whenever something non-deterministic happens (syscall, I/O, etc) and then we just reconstruct the program state at any moment by rewinding it to the nearest snapshot and executing the code from there. This is basically what UDB, WinDBG and rr do.

QEMU does this too. This plus its GDB stub means one can time-travel-debug pretty much anything on any emulated architecture.

How to Stand Out in a Competitive Job Market
SVB situation is made worse 'coz it seems about 93% of bank's $160B deposits are uninsured as they are above FDIC's $250K limit. So all the more reason for depositors to pull out their money.
I agree with the spirit of this. I just think it’s a bit heavy handed in the communication. It will be perceived as aggressive and that’s not a good look for a man that has just been accused of sexism. Getting HR involved and framing it that you need reasonable accommodation to help you work with your Asperger’s and keep from offending teammates could be a good path.
I'm constantly finding new places in my program to add prints to. This isn't just copy changes. (Though that has also had a huge impact occasionally in understanding something. Imagine emitting 2 variables and then focusing on 1 of them. A pattern can pop out of a screenful of iterations of a loop when things line up just right.)
California Financial Regulator Takes Possession of Silicon Valley Bank
California regulators stepped in and took over the bank, then handed over to the Feds.

For example, I would still relate entirely to this blog post if "notebook" was replaced with "laptop" throughout.
People are throwing the word fine around, what there needs to be is jail time...
I ended up doing the same on my site. A stack of OS fonts and I don’t have to worry about load times and all that.

It's kind of amazing how much optimism there was just an hour ago regarding SVB's position.
Just say no. If you want a reason, phones and data plans are expensive. They can see their friends in person.
They're not even expensive. I replaced a horrible KitchenAid with a Bosch 800 that was much less expensive, better in every way, and at this point has enjoyed a much longer lifetime than the KitchenAid.
Turns out Twitter making bank failure a meme didn’t really help anything at all. It’ll be very interesting to see what happens to uninsured depositors
