I think this is where something like the reAct framework would be super helpful.

A human dungeon master doesn't pull a random enemy from the aether super well (or at least I don't!!). When I pick monsters I either logically think what makes sense for the area, pick something that's cool or vaguely humorous that I'm feeling the vibe of, or... use a random encounter table.

For treasure and rewards... if it's not something hand picked, I'm again getting the loot tables out and rolling. And heck even for gold rewards and things, I'm rolling the dice.

After trying basic stuff with langchain, an AI integrated with these types of tools is really promising. I think more systems on top could make it into a passable DM- at least until context becomes an issue.
I have a long history of depression and anxiety and ADHD. I have lots of experience with it and I go to a psychiatrist for it. It is well controlled at this point.

Depression feels like I don't want to do anything. This doesn't feel like that. This feels like someone put a plastic bag over my head and I can't breathe. It is a real physiological thing. It's like somebody put a really strong rubber band around my entire lung section. I woke up perfectly happy that day and ready to work, and I tried to bike, and it was like I was biking but then somebody blocked my airway with a really thick towel.

When I say I can't bike I'm not talking about a "first world" or even "the struggle is real" kind of can't. I'm talking about a physical reality, a "car engine can't run without oxygen, body is ordering me to stop" kind of can't.

One time shortly after the disease I got really annoyed that my ability was decreasing and just biked anyway. The next day my lungs were so bad that I had to get work off.

I also wanted to comment on the brain fog comments. Brain fog from long covid isn't a "life has no meaning, why try" problem like depression has been in the past for me. Brain fog is a physiological problem. Your brain consumes 30% of the oxygen you breathe. If you're getting less oxygen, you can't think as much. It becomes harder to remember the name of the item that you use to control the TV ("remote") or the name of your second born son. I remember one time it took me ages to remember that the word for that thing you used to strain pasta is called a collander.
I for one can’t wait for the future where every time a company vaguely associated with AI does something crappy, the articles will read “GPT-[x] Does Something Crappy” instead of “Company Does Something Crappy” since that’s more sensational.
Just remove the DRM chip that’s located on the starter cartridge, mine was on with a small Phillips screw. I then used the Brither DRM chip on my Linkyo toner cartridge and it works a treat. Problem solved AFICT.
Yes, but it is rare because most objects in such orbits tend to either be gobbled by Earth right away, settle into L2, L3, or L4, or enter a high orbit.
There are plenty of people that absolutely do exactly that.

When I was younger and dumber I used to do literally that. Get a text message, read it, and respond to it, while driving. With a stick shift, too. I can't believe I never hurt anyone doing this.

In BC, Canada, where I now live, this is prosecuted rather aggressively as 'distracted driving'. First ticket is in the neighborhood of $400 + required increase in premiums, and the threshold is touching your phone or having it within reach and not in a cradle. A second offense within a year can lead to a suspended license. It certainly shows. When I go down to the states, it is noticeable how many people I can see interacting with their phones compared to BC.

> Where you mostly notice the MVNO suckage is if you take the biggest road out of town, drive two hours, make a left turn, and then drive an hour away from everything.

I covered this in the 2nd half of the quoted sentence. I spent over a month in places like that throughout the US, and didn’t have issues.

I’m not saying issues don’t exist, but I never ran into the described suckage.

Finding a spot out there with poor signal isn’t hard, but that’s a separate issue.

We still pipe service discovery through Consul, we just propagate it with a different, gossip based mechanism. Services are stored in local sqlite DBs on every host that runs our Proxy. They are designed to keep running, even when we can't get updates to them.

This outage prevented us from writing services to Consul, so we couldn't read them back out. Nomad will only really write service information to Consul, so we're kind of stuck with Consul in the loop until we're fully off Nomad.
I use anaconda environments and install everything with pip in them. Am I doing it wrong?

> The only symptom with a plausible causal link is the shortness of breath

That seems quite presumptious given that there is clear evidence that covid attacks organs other than the lungs (such as the heart and kidneys). Chronic fatigue is also well-established as a post-viral syndrome following other viral infections, and even though we don't understand what causes it.
>Texting and driving ought to be treated similarly to a felony DUI.

And that's how we have a police state. Honestly, emotions and laws really don't mix, that's how we have more people incarcerated both per capita and in total numbers than any other country in the world.

"Super-predators," gets votes, but the repercussions were pretty horrible.

Something much less horrible would be to make gasoline super expensive like in Europe, or lower the speed limit to a speed that is much less likely to cause fatalities, or do an old fashioned marketing / awareness push. The More You Know.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_More_You_Know

Also, the article seems to be speculating on the cause:

>How many of those deaths involved distracted driving?

>“It’s much bigger than the data show,” said Bruce Landsberg, vice chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. Data collection methods are so riddled with problems, he said, that reliable estimates are difficult if not impossible.

So it's bigger than the data shows, but reliable estimates are difficult or impossible, so it seems he's talking out his ass.

Maybe it's because many more people were working at home in 2021-2022.
Even if an object is moving in a parallel orbit to Earth's around the sun, if you "zoom in" to the point where it enters the Earth's sphere of influence, the influence of the sun is relatively small. It's roughly as if Earth and the object are free-falling together in empty space, with a small relative velocity. And Earth's escape velocity is the same velocity that would be reached by a stationary object "dropped" from infinitely far away. So relative to the Earth it will accelerate and hit the atmosphere with at least escape velocity.

(This is only an approximation, but it's a pretty good one because there's such a large difference between Earth's mass and the sun's.)

Another way to look at this is to simply observe that Newtonian physics is time-symmetric (neglecting effects like friction that dissipate energy). If you have a trajectory that arrives at the edge of Earth's atmosphere with a certain velocity, you can reverse it to get a trajectory that leaves with the opposite velocity (i.e. equal speed).
> So with this logic, Stripe's valuation would be almost exactly where it currently is.

Right, but that's fine. Because investors and employees would have already had the opportunity to offload some (or even all) of their equity at a high price that they may not see again for years, if ever.

It would have been good to at least that opportunity! Yes, the company would then be subject to more scrutiny as a public company, and the inevitable stock price drop would be a problem. But... that's fine too?
You wouldn't necessarily know this from the outside, but we have _exceptional_ internal support when things go sideways. This is relatively new, up until about two months ago most incidents were run by 1.5 people. We had 7 people working this one today.

What's with all this talk of "employee liquids" and where can I purchase them?

Are they made of real employees?

How are these liquids rendered? Some kind of masher, or industrial grinder perhaps?

How is it determined which employees are rendered into liquid and which ones are not? A merit-based review, or perhaps a lottery system?

What are the uses and health benefits of consuming employee liquid? What does it taste like?

Swiss banks did not have a better reputation. The idea of rich people and criminals having "Swiss bank accounts" to evade taxes and launder money was a pop culture trope from before you or I were born.
There are really only a few frameworks where our experience approaches Heroku. And even for those, it's only the newest versions. Phoenix, Rails, Laravel, and Remix are all pretty seamless to launch.

Most others require pretty decent Docker knowledge.
In USA people can make these calls with much autonomy. In Korea, leaving before your boss is hard to do. In Germany working hours are hard capped and that’s absolutely normal to stop working when your weekly allowance is over.

Some things make sense only because that’s your cultural normal.
> Base images will continue to be patched/updated, and you need those to keep your own images up to date. Unless the suggestion is to build all images, from the bottom up, from scratch.

If docker pushes people to that, hopefully more reproducible solutions like nix and it's ux friendly "porcelains" such as https://devenv.sh/ gain market share.
1. fly.io SLA only covers users on the Enterprise plan

2. The SLA fly.io has commits to 99.9% uptime, meaning they can "afford" ~1.5m downtime daily, or ~40m monthly. AWS "offers" 99.99% (~4m monthly) if I recall correctly, but their scale is also wildly different obviously.
http://34.71.48.104/ please use this until DNS propagates.
So, imagine your api endpoint looks like this:

get_data(key):

hahaGotTheKey = key

result = do_complicated_homomorphic_stuff(key)

hahaGotTheResult = result

save(hahaGotTheKey, hahaGotTheResult)

return result

I guess you are saying the since the key is encrypted there is no way to know exactly what the user asked for. The result is encrypted so there is no way to know what it is. The only thing we know is the user asked for something and something was retrieved.

Of course, if the key is encrypted and the data is encrypted, how is it differentiated from a regular kvs? i.e.

cypherKey = encr(key)
cypherData = encr(value)

kvs.put(cypherKey, cypherData)

Of course, I obviously do not understand it - this is merely a window into my flawed mental model.

We had mysterious consul outages (and related nomad outages) causing us to never deploy our new hashicorp stack to production.

Shame cuz we were excited about our nomad+consul+vault setup and invested a lot of money into building it. But just didn’t have the time or enough depth of expertise to babysit it.
We chose Nomad and adopted Consul as a result. Nomad and Consul work well together.

I don't believe etcd would have been any better for us, though. Centralized service discovery that runs through raft consensus doesn't make a lot of sense for the things we need to do. And when I've had etcd blow up on me in the past, it's been similarly painful to recover from.
> but build me a consistent world which spoons out the world-building _and remembers it_

Yeah, one potential way to do this is to add input / output to a semantic graph store a la WikiData, in addition to the more bog standard text and image outputs. I've been wanting to try this out ever since seeing how good LLMs are a semantic decomposition.
Can you use SLURM to schedule services? IE, long-running not-batch-jobs that expose network ports (often multiple)? That's what k8s (and borg) really are- service schedules, not batch schedulers.
Etcd is really only for basic config.

If you want apps to discover each other and be able to communicate effortlessly, even across datacenters, Consul, in theory, enables this.

I say in theory because I couldn't get federated Consul actually working.
Those are two different things. I didn't say we need less regulation. I said that the deregulation that happened over the last few years is irrelevant.
Yes. Both. This outage was caused by a bad architectural decision. We had an incident a few weeks ago caused by "hard mode".
> And don't most banking systems automatically generate a CTR based on the transaction ledger? It's not like a teller is filling out a form and faxing it.

Getting to that point took a very long time.

But its not that much more efficient on the FinCEN side.

The HSBC thing is also another example of how the rest of AML/KYC is not the best implementation. It is only as strong as its weakest link, while burdening all links in this fairly pointless exercise of whitelisting transactions, instead of tackling the actual regressive behaviors that are illegal.
Sure, but I needed to do it, anyway. K&R has basically won the fight, so it's a no-brainer.

Like I said, once I got in the habit, the overhead dropped to 0.

Same for my code commenting and structuring, as well as many of the "little things" that I do, every day.
> In USA people can make these calls with much autonomy.

Not really. The same dynamics play out in the US quite often. Not uncommon to be seen as slacking off if you consistently leave earlier than the boss, even if all your work is done.

Most people think handsfree is okay, but it's bullshit. The problem with phones is that drivers' brains are distracted from driving, not that their hands aren't on the wheel (although that too is problematic).

I had a friend call me while driving on a 35 MPH road with not much traffic. While talking to me, he came to a 4-way stop, ran it because he was distracted, and could have easily caused a wreck. I tell people "don't call me while you're driving!" but they do it anyway. After running the 4-way stop (with other cars at the intersection), he pulled over, told me what happened, and swore off using the phone while driving.

A couple of years ago while stopped at an intersection, some dumb woman slammed into me (and the next 2 cars ahead of me) and her car ended up in the oncoming traffic lane facing the other direction. So not a "she bumped my fender" kind of wreck. My car was totaled, I had $46K in medical bills, multiple CT scans, X-rays, surgery to fixed a smashed nose, a 2nd surgery to fixup the 1st surgery, 25 Dr appointments during the height of Covid, and there was a person with Covid right next to me in the ER the day of the wreck.

Was it really worth it for that person to be able to text while driving?

To top it off, the fine in KY for texting while driving is $25. Big deterrent, right?

I think the relevant legal mechanism would be a trademark, and in order for it to be a legal issue, you would need to be operating in the same business space as an existing registered trademark holder (because then you might cause confusion between yours and their products/services). Copyright generally doesn't apply in the case of a single word.
When the stock owner is another company that has a majority (or 100%) stake it's usually considered one company for liability purposes, at least in the U.S.

Otherwise every company would set up dozens of intermediary shell companies to protect every valuable subsidiary in the hopes of a favorable court ruling if things go belly up.
Go even has a mantra for this: “accept interfaces, return concrete types”. In the example, I would think to design it such that Oil is just an interface with adapters for either user specified oilType or oilInventory or whatever.

A week or two wouldn't generally be considered Long Covid I don't think. That would just be extended acute symptoms.

As one anecdotal data point: I'm 29, and was a previously fit (would regularly play sport, go for long hikes / bikes rides, etc), and I haven't been able to recover that fitness nearly 3 years later. I was not expecting this (I had covid early on in April 2020 before there was much talk of long covid), but I found that my endurance was greatly reduced post infection (I essentially get the same fatigue that anyone would get once they've completely exhausted themselves through strenuous exercise, just much, much quicker and with exercise that shouldn't be exhausting me). And when I have tried to push myself to regain fitness made those symptoms worse not better (after pushing myself, I could barely get out of bed for a couple of days - I've tried this 2 or 3 times).

I'm lucky in that I can still do every day tasks (work, shopping, etc) just fine. Some people with more extreme symptoms can't even manage that.
In fact there is an environment variable that enables exactly that. There are obviously performance issues associated with that, but it does work.
If it is legible I don't care. If I can select a style a little bit more specific than "serif" or "sans-serif", that's great, as long as it degrades to something legible. I've yet to see a situation where free-flowing text or headings became illegible because the font changed. UI elements, sure.

ChatGPT gives the following answer:

MoonRay is a renderer that creates photorealistic images of computer-generated 3D scenes, using a technique called Monte Carlo ray tracing. MoonRay can be used as part of an animation project, but it is not an animation tool itself. Instead, it is a rendering engine that produces the final images that make up the animation.

To create an animated movie using MoonRay, you would need to use other tools to create the 3D models, textures, and animations that make up the scenes in your movie. Some examples of these tools include Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Cinema 4D. These tools allow you to create and manipulate 3D models, animate them, and add textures and lighting to create the final look of your scenes.

In addition to these 3D modeling and animation tools, you would also need to have a basic understanding of computer graphics and animation principles. This includes concepts such as keyframe animation, camera movement, lighting, and composition.

Once you have created your 3D scenes, you can use MoonRay to render them into high-quality images that can be used in your final animated movie. MoonRay can render images on a single computer, or it can be used with cloud rendering services to speed up the rendering process.

In summary, MoonRay is a rendering engine that produces photorealistic images of 3D scenes created using other 3D modeling and animation tools. To create an animated movie using MoonRay, you would need to use additional tools to create the scenes and have a basic understanding of computer graphics and animation principles.

I am feeling similarly. We’ve got a few apps in fly and have convinced devs to use it for their side projects. We’re excited about the promise of fly and were considering the HIPAA plan.

But these stability issues actually make me more nervous about the fact that I’d have to manage my own postgres cluster and have to learn how to recover it in such an event. AWS RDS has made me soft!

Wishing you guys the best. We’ll still use fly for QA until a few of these issues are sorted out. And until there’s fully managed pg (first party or third party)

You are on your own mostly. That's part of the problem. I am right there with you in my lack of understood in how best to get started.

The most trendy language on HN (Rust) has an initiative called Prusti, and a working group.

Most of the languages that are used for actual formal verification in industry settings are arcane. Like AdaSPARK.

And then there a lot of academic-focused languages meant mainly to experiment with dependent types or prove math theorems.

TLA+ also has some ability to support it, but not out of the box. DynamoDB at AWS was built with it.

The homepage for it has some approachable resources, but for the language itself. The formal verification systems are separate.

I have a friend who is a federal agent. He commiserates with those of us not reporting, as it takes time and attention (not spent earning money) to report. It also creates a digital trail of information that all too often gets misdirected into misadventure. Way more often than most people realize. The only real value to reporting these things is to give a government a measure of how bad something really is, so they might take informed policy action.
That gov.uk calculator is incorrect, which is unusual for gov.uk. It hasn't reduced the tax-free allowance to zero as it should for £150k. Most other online tax calculators do, so they show a lower take home amount.

The 60% that is discussed is the marginal rate in the band from £100k to £125k, not the average tax rate on all the income. It means: for each increase of £1000 in your earnings when your income is in that band, you pay £600 more tax.
So I pay $X and 30% of that goes to steam.

This is not me as the user paying. Gotcha.

The customer pays for /everything/ /always/ under /all/ circumstances. It's not cost plus pricing, vendors will charge as much as the customer will part with. Customers are willing to part with less when competition pushes prices down. That 30% is definitely keeping prices higher to the customer in any remotely competitive market. (I say nothing about whether that is a good thing or bad, whether that is cheap or expensive - it's just nuts not to know the customer is paying it, that's whose pocket the money comes out of).
