> What I would use the shit out of, though, is a chatbot that has been trained on all the information in the CodePen knowledge base. Have it suck in all the meeting notes.

Yeah, it's pretty good at this, I've recently been hitting up OpenAI's chatGPT with some queries that were too exhausting to extract from google - and it's pretty good at surfacing resources quickly - and the workflow of refining the query with the context of the current thread of conversation works really well when you are struggling to succinctly describe it in a single shot (which google search doesn't really do beyond the global context of your profile - which can actually be counter productive).

I really hate all the hype around chatGPT, it can't be trusted for a lot of stuff, people over anthropomorphise it, but so long as you don't rely on it for accuracy, it's pretty useful for search.

One major issue I found is that ~95% of the time it can't provide correct links to sources, this is fine if it can just name stuff - then you can follow it up with a more specific google search. But chatGPT will just make up bullshit links, in the same way it will wax poetic some BS explanation to hit it's "looks correct" training. You can even point this out and it will keep generating variants on the URLs that are all fabricated.

It kind of makes sense that it would be good at search... it's a language model, it should be able to link descriptions of difficult to search for things to known resources.
Perhaps I just don't get them, but task groups never really made sense to me.

The whole beauty of async tasks is that you can spawn, retry, and consume them lazily. When you create a task group, you again end up waiting on a single long-running last task, desperately trying to fix individual failures and retries that hold up the entire group.
>Whoever solves this problem will probably get to be the new google

If it's solvable. There are many problems that aren't.

Perhaps the new Google would just be a 1996-era Yahoo! human-curated catalog.
Nah, Stripe just paid a bunch of folks with funny money everyone is kicking the can on making real and this is the cost of that strategy due to the mechanizations around equity comp.

Tangentially, I think the card networks in general are not going to look great when the Fed's FedNow instant payments go live this summer. If you can get instant settlement up to $100k in value for a few pennies, that's a lot of volume that is going to move to new rails to avoid the ~3% tax (which is a tax on most of the current digital economy). Sure, there is a lot of value to consumers in the ~30 day float, but if merchants start passing the CC fees on (which they are legally allowed to do, and many already do)...

Digital wallets might be the next step (Pay with Stripe/Paypal/ShopPay/whatevs) but there ain't much moat there either. Optimistically, it's nice to see payments moving to what it should've always been: a utility, and priced accordingly. The US joins 55 other countries with instant payment networks. Hurray!
Also noteworthy is that compared to leading commercial websites (Amazon, Facebook, etc.), the Canada Revenue Agency website: Responds an order of magnitude slower (like 3000 ms vs. 300 ms), and has maintenance downtime hours (instead of being up 24/7).

> However, the Internet is a public network and there is the remote possibility of data security violations.

They conveniently ignore the fact that HTTPS is pervasive and that you can reasonably carry private conversations on a public network. And why don't they have a disclaimer for the fact that the telephone network is public and the mail network is public?
Printing to letter size paper is also not the only output.

Where I work we routinely send PDFs to print houses. They're large format, as in paper size. Honestly I can't imagine sending an html/css bundle to a factory. How would you even specify different varnish layers, or embossed areas?
Why just fifty years?
Sorry, the US is a democracy even if you don’t like the results. Police organizations carry tremendous weight in elections because people think the police are good guys, are (correctly) more afraid of criminals than the police, and don’t really care about abuses against criminals and their associates. You can see this playing out right now in cities like Chicago, Atlanta, New York City, etc., where mayors have been defeated or come into power because people are outraged by the increase in crime.
> Normal web search is doomed.

I hope not. The likes of ChatGPT don't do what I want a search engine to do. If normal web search is doomed, then how will I find any good new stuff on the web?

I agree with you, but the reason is cost and convenience.

Whisper v2 costs $0.006 per minute of transcribed text: https://openai.com/pricing

If you had meetings every working hour, you'd have up to ~160 hours of audio per month to transcribe. For most people, this is a gross overestimate.

Throwing this audio at OpenAI's API would cost $57.60 per month, and also frees you up from having to set up and maintain local inference.
You can specifically ask it to end the first line in "orange" or whatever.

In my experience, when it can't come up with a good rhyme, it tends to fib it. But also keep in mind that, as it operates on token representation of words internally, its notion of what rhymes and what does not is far from perfect. This is more noticeable in languages other than English.
FTC was created to protect consumers though "strong and effective law enforcement"(their mission statement). This FTC action is not "strong" enough, it's just a slap on the wrist.

> If you also give them the ability to issue punishments then what prevents them from using that power to sabotage (or threaten to sabotage) well behaved companies to line their own pockets?

"Own pockets" - FTC is not a for profit company. GoodRx is a for profit company. Companies have more to gain by acting in bad faith than FTC. So I would trust FTC any given day over a for profit company.

> GoodRx hasn’t turned a profit since 2019

This doesn't necessarily mean company is in bad shape. This happens when company is investing in growth at the cost of profit margins during it's initial years. If they can shell out half million dollars on lobbying then $1.5 million is indeed a pocket change for them.
If Stripe had offered 83(b) and issued cash bonuses to cover exercise costs, would this tax issue been avoided?
Only thing I would disagree with is money does matter if you have a family to support
AFAIK he has not actually used many trained or experienced troops on the front line yet. It's been mostly conscripts and Wagner mercs and most of those mercs are convicted felons they want dealt with, kindof a win-win usage. Hence all the weird mistakes. I think those mistakes were just to soften the battle field based on their military history.

The bigger wave of conscripts and actual troops are likely to show up in May/June after the snow melts and they are supposedly even planning to re-implement Stalin's old tactic of having mercs shoot their own troops if they retreat.

Should they succeed in Ukraine I would expect them to show up in Poland and Finland next. Maybe also Moldova but I don't know what they are doing there and I have zero idea what China will do beyond providing weapons and ammo.

Let me tell you, having saved $thousands from GoodRx’s exposure of pharma’s underbelly, and the actual first-time competition that it fosters, I can forgive them for this underhand revenue stream.

Seriously though, most of the software I use is open source. Here's a fun fact: there are some use-cases for which there is no proprietary, public-release software because the open-source software is so much better. For example, ebook management with Calibre.
Really, bloc.host is a product out of a side project/company I founded over 5 years ago - Plover Digital LLC (plover.digital). The story of how we got here from there is a little long, I'll try to keep it to just bloc.host.

Recently, in a bid to provide better service and bring in more customers, we upgraded our data center systems to a 10gig connection. Since we are no where close to saturating our bandwidth, we wanted to come up with new ways to use it. One of the suggestions my business partner made eventually led us to bloc.host. We both were looking for a way to easily host our company/personal sites and projects that was within our own infrastructure and control. So, in some sense for personal need, but also for the challenge, the experience, and the maximization of our resources.

There is plenty more in the pipeline for bloc.host as we continue to improve performance and introduce new features.

180mg/kg is 10 grams for a 55 kg (=fairly lightweight) human.

Also, 10mg/day in which animals? I would guess animals that are a lot smaller than humans, possibly even mice (weight: less than 1/1000 of that of a human)
Yes. Prior to that point we used to allocate a large chunk of executable memory upfront. We switched to mapping that memory on demand, and that alone was a huge improvement.
People like Putin usually play a long game. Russia has been undermining its neighbors and the west of the world for a long time for instance by sponsoring Transnistria and separatists in Ukraine and Georgia, right wing extremists everywhere, as well as actions like the 2014 Crimea invasion. The 2022 invasion of Ukraine seems impulsive and poorly planned and consumes resources required if they were to attack other countries but in the long term it might deter Russia from similar actions or it may build capacity to do that sort of thing.

They will keep trying to undermine Georgia but an actual attack will have to wait.
You can only influence the rights/freedoms/liberties of those jurisdictional boundaries.
STM32 microcontrollers are a popular line of Cortex-M (low-end) ARM Microcontrollers. Note, as a Cortex M, these are much smaller than your cell phones or servers. The specs here are kB of SRAM and Flash RAM, with less than $2 per chip in bulk orders.

STM32H5 starts at 128 Kbytes of flash memory and 32 Kbytes of RAM on the STM32H503, while the higher end STM32H563 of this family reaches into 2 Mbytes of flash memory, 640 Kbytes of SRAM + 10/100 Ethernet.

--------

The low end STM32H503 comes with 1x OpAmp. I'm liking this modern trend of packing OpAmps into these low-cost microcontrollers.
> Unable to continue building computers – which was also forbidden by the Allied Powers...

...this bit of information was actually news to me, but the brain drain that started in 1933 and then intensified after WW2 is probably an important part of the answer. Maybe it also contributed to a general mindset that the grass is greener across the ocean ;)

A lot of innovation still happened in Germany after the war - even in East Germany, but somehow the fruits were always picked elsewhere, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qccejmqbPg - or this 'German SpaceX': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTRAG)
Good point. Stretching it against some wavy object and cutting would remove any meaning from the problem as you can get however many pieces you wanted based on the wave pattern.
The power of naming.

Where I am, we don’t have these poppy names for The Generations: people are just younger and older. As a consequence (perhaps), there’s less boxing of people into clearly delineated (like Millenial: roughly born 1980–1998 or something) groups for other groups to piss and moan about.
Because of the power of metaphor.

A PDF is, in the popular consciousness, a digital form of paper. Anything that could be on paper? PDF.

Think of it as an FFI for the paper-based OS that our civ still runs upon (and may always.)

Like, network-based civ is kind of like a VM, and numerated paper documents (laws, etc.) are libc, and when you want to call out to the underlying reality, you use PDF.
I am finding it very surprising that Stripe is not profitable.
Sorry, but that video is also bad. The whole point is that not everything needs to be a campaign ad.

(Additionally, the video is twice as long as it needs to be. By minute 4 I was bored and scrubbed ahead to see if he was going to do something other than beat the dead horse some more. The turn into the antithesis finally happens around minute 10, at least 5 minutes after it should have been over.)
I remember in the 80s that there were bees all over the grounds at my elementary school, they had dandelions, clover, and a few other weed/grass species in the mix but bees went whole hog on them. About a decade ago I went back to that school during summer and noticed not a single bee was around the grounds. It's wild how fast insects are dying off these days. Heck, I remember summers in my hometown where it was a bad idea for me to be out since mosquitos would bite me furiously but now I rarely see them.
This is interesting. I'd assume a printer would be an extremely high-value target for espionage.

As far as I understand, neither of the examples you mention allow for proper bi-directional editing.

> FreeCAD has ability to generate shapes or sketches with script and it would be possible to edit resulted geometry manually with GUI tools.

That sounds like the "normal" flow, where the first GUI editing action is destructive (= requires you to "emit" the parameterized geometry).

I think what is alluded to there, is something more akin to a visual Markdown editor, or newer visual React editors like Utopia[0], which are a departure from the old generation of WYSIWYG editors like Dreamweaver, where an edition action in either the code or the visual mode wreaked havoc on the state of the other mode.

My dishwasher only requires the water to be 30c, and combined with a longer wash cycle does an excellent job of cleaning the dishes.

My hot water tank heats to 60c, so my dishwasher would still need a thermocouple and a heating element to mix it to 30c, as there's no guarantee that my hot water tank is actually full.

The killer feature for many users is the ability to track new data with *virtual columns*, which stay in Plato and never touch your backend DB. It lets you extend schema for new operations without having to run a DB migration. They're great for support agents or other operators to take notes, track new customer requirements, etc..

Is there any sort of encryption scheme that would make it possible to generate a key on-demand to decrypt only the data that was encrypted within some arbitrary interval of time? The idea being if 100 terabytes of someone's private life history is seized, a judge could order the decryption of only the parts likely to contain material evidence.

The closest thing that comes to mind is to use a unique AES key for every chunk of 5 minutes or so, and then encrypt those keys with an asymmetric cipher with the private key secured off-site somewhere, which could selectively decrypt some of the AES keys. But that could be an inconveniently long list of keys for, say, 10 video feeds over several days.
I think the real problem is some cities have grown far too large. Larger the city harder for businesses and people to move out of it. Let the city residents through their elected council chose the path they want to pursue, with enough diversity people can prefer to move in and out of a city with very little impact on their day to day life. I have moved in and out of Sunnyvale/Mountain View/San Jose few times.

Terrible Idea to run this kind of tool on actually transactional data. In our startup we have pre-defined scripts so a non-dev's work is actually scoped. This is free range access to the database. Now not just dev can drop a database but also a business person can delete all data.

You want to scope access via a BI tool to the business person. That is data archtecture 101. And when the access is scoped a BI tool like metabase or superset services a better purpose than this.
The study, https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ade4687 suggests in figure 1 that the device is 0.5mg of molybdenum and dissolves over an 18 day period, ~30µg/day. This is less than your recommended dietary allowance of 45µg/day and about two orders of magnitude under the tolerable upper intake level.

You will also find in the study analysis of what compounds the molybdenum forms as it dissolves.

Also, who knew they were supposed to be getting molybdenum every day? Somehow I feel a bit more cyborgy now, like maybe there is a tiny gear in me somewhere that needs to be greased.
