What is the case against them? You can't claw back without demonstrating some law was broken. Making a bad financial decision that causes a business to fail isn't against the law unless you somehow profited from it. And, from what's publicly known, SVB's CEO didn't come away with more money from the bank's closure than he would have had he continued running the bank.

Panic to literally print code along with other arbitrary hoops that sometimes materialize, encouraging employees to sleep at the office; a general climate of fear. The list goes on.
I can push up a Docker image or git push to deploy just fine with Coolify or Dokku. I've been using them for my projects for a while with no trouble, plus they're cheaper and more performant than paid PaaS.

Canna-croissant with hemp seeds on the surface, yummy.

The trouble with sativa is that a succesful farming operation requires 40 tonnes of fertilizer per hectare and it will bleed the soil dry of nutrients fast. It makes it an interesting proposition for the Dutch agri tech sector, which will grow it tulip style like they do now with flowers and those great looking vegetables that don't have any taste and are pumped with ferts.
> I have only positive things to say about every HashiCorp product I've worked with since I got here.

You're making a claim that Hashicorp sold themselves as being a solution for problems that they can't solve. But the comment from an actual Fly.io employee suggests that isn't the case. They're stating that Fly.io pushed the product beyond its limits, and they don't seem to be projecting any of that as being the fault of Hashicorp the company or of their products.
This is such a beautiful example of how isolated academic fields are from each other.

Any art, philosophy, literature, critical theory, culture studies, or sociology journal has hundreds of articles tracking and analyzing this phenomenon over the last 200 years from all sorts of different perspectives, but here we see some data scientists just drop into the problem and their most salient reference is Max Weber.

And I don’t mean to be criticizing the work. It’s a cool illustration and it’s interesting to see this kind of quantitative analysis of the topic and what research in this style can uncover — it’s just striking how disconnected it seems to be from so many richly developed ongoing discussions elsewhere.
It always underpaid drivers. It exploited drivers not calculating car amortization costs and sometimes not even gas correctly. Also, people do not calculate the value of their time spent waiting (unpaid) and the cost to drive to the pick up (also unpaid). I guess Haraszti laughed his ass off when he learned of this bullshit. https://www.amazon.com/worker-workers-state-Piece-rates-Hung... He basically have proven the socialist state was paying factory workers only when their machine was actually working on a piece and then per the minute. And of course wrote a book criticizing the entire system on the side.

Ask HN: Is There a Levels.fyi for Startups?
I think the site's big tech focus skews compensation expectations for those interested in startups (especially younger folks).

I personally think a startup-focused version would be useful.

One main obstacle I foresee is anonymity: a Staff ML Engineer at a 30-Engineer startup would be easily identifiable!

The solution to "people are killing themselves because they have no purpose outside their jobs and their job just got automated" is not outlawing technology, it is helping people find purpose outside of work.
Yet another swoon piece.

I don't see how the OP can say these apps worked "perfectly", given the nature of what they're doing (and the lack of either a metric or an easy to way to verify their outputs).

The repo summary, in particular, seems to be largely a regurgitation of its README file, along with some claims (about that the kinds of applications it can support) that sound, well made up. In any case not straightforward to verify from the contents of the repo.

It's certainly "a form of" programming. But it seems quite strange to call this "the new programming".

For some people, including me, a big part of the enjoyment comes from thinking that I could become one of the best in [my region/my country/the world] at a particular skill.

Maybe I'm more competitive than the average person, but I'm sure that there are millions of people out there that feel the same way as me.

And I think that when we realize that we're not the dominant species in the planet anymore, it's going to be a big emotional shock to a lot of people. We need to feel superior, or at least we need the possibility of being superior.
Hundred of bank closure, higher bar to starting De Novo banks, and 14 years of Quantitative Easing means a LOT more assets have been siloed in fewer institutions.
Law is artificial intelligence, so technically we're already in one of those scenarios in most of the world.

Law records what most people have expressed is desirable behavior in society.

Presumably the extremely adjacent concept of knowledge which may be encoded into DNA may also be thought of in this way, so that even under "the law of the jungle".

DNA records what forms can survive and replicate in a given environment.

Perform tasks that humans do now, but at scale, automatically.

We are going to be able to automate everything and anything with the proper feedback loops.

For example, you could have an app that writes itself, deploys itself, tests itself, receives feedback, updates itself based on the feedback, writes additional tests, does CI/CD.

At that point you will be just creating and directing. Or you can choose whatever you actually want to execute.

And then if those same kind of processes are given access to physical tools, they could do all of our manufacturing, design and build their own machines and infrastructure.

We could essentially collaborate with our systems in the most amazingly seamless way.
Hey, I'm the first author on this paper. We don't expect solar wind to have a strong effect. I focus on dynamics and not electromagnetic effects, but we took our values for the effects contributing to the perihelion precession of Mercury from NASA by Park et al. (2017) Precession of Mercury's Perihelion from Ranging to the MESSENGER Spacecraft <https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/aa5be2>.

However, I don't have an order of magnitude estimate for the effect and like you said, the effect is certainly subject to variation, especially due to the Sun's solar cycle <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle>. My guess is that since the effect of solar wind isn't included in the calculations and measurements by Park et al. (2017), then it's likely around a thousandth of an arcsecond per century or less.
in all fairness, I can't understand people who dread being replaced by machines.

it's such a preposterous proposition for me, like - replaced in what sense? No one is you. You're the only you. I'm the only me. We could make a machine that is similar to us in some way - acts or even thinks like us - but so what? That's all it is - something that's like something else. There is no 'replace,' I don't cease to exist when a computer does something that I can do. Even if you were to flawlessly duplicate me, it wouldn't invalidate my existence, or even pose much of a threat - if anything, it would only make me stronger, because then there would be two of me.

Machines' similarity to us does more to validate their existence than it does to invalidate our own, in other words.
As someone who is currently dealing with a sudden worsening of a chronic illness and a healthcare system that can be described as "a brick wall with a flow chart", AGI please replace us already, we are incompetent and undeserving and I would much rather live a fun "meaningless" painless existence than the hell I live in now.
Long Covid is real. If you don't think it's real, you're either completely nontechnical in biology or just have been out of the loop and are regurgitating garbage you're spreading around that makes you feel better about not being sick or something. I don't know the reason, but it's harmful as fuck to society regardless.

Whether it be astroturfing or other means originally founded by pharmaceutical companies knowing they originally did not test drugs for mitochondrial toxicity prior to Phase 1 trials, the source remains to be seen. It's also possible they just weren't aware of the problems before they became problems. Heterogeneous damage to cellular respiration does not generally become apparent until it's obvious for example in really old people.

The fact is that people are by and large developing metabolic dysfunction earlier on, and things like antibiotics drastically accelerate the problem. Bactericidal antibiotics are widely known in research now to be seriously toxic to mitochondria and the damage they cause leads to chronic processes because mitochondria do not have effective repair mechanisms outside of copies. When they start reproducing mutated copies, the person does not get off scot-free anymore. Processed foods and air pollution and chemical exposures from foods and other things all additionally cause more dysregulation. This is all becoming way more widely known.

Some percentage of people will just not bounce back after these insults. Respiratory viruses and bacterial infections induce a large amount of oxidative stress in the human body, largely caused by your own immune system. Normally, your body has redox mechanisms to balance this out so you are fine in the end (otherwise running would cause a lot of problems really quickly!). But combining our toxic environment, toxic antibiotics that most people take (and many women take bactericidal antibiotics for UTIs!), high processed food diets leading to excessive baseline OS, you potentiate the risk for the individuals own mitochondrial machinery to be severely damaged from a high OS insult. After that, you don't bounce back. You develop chronic fatigue and severe exercise intolerance, and have much more precarious relationships with other illnesses.

This is what's happening. Depression other mental disorders are already strongly associated with metabolic dysregulation in research.

Don't blame the victims. It's likely you'll become one yourself before you're very old. Everyone is getting sicker.

The page is “Copyright 2012-2021”, which would place it around the time that Promises/A+ was just getting started. That code example is a prime specimen of the all-too-common “callback hell” that led to the creation of promises and eventually async/await; what we’re looking at here is effectively an alternate-universe way of solving the same problem.

It sounds like FibJS supports async/await as well, but that just means there are two ways of doing things: I suspect a big reason promises won out is because they could be easily polyfilled into browsers, and a bit part of NodeJS’s appeal was using the same libraries on both sides.

What we need is highly online modern banking with universal APIs.

I should be able to run 50 lines of (insert preferred scripting language) that queried accounts at N banks, and then queued up transfers between them to redistribute the balances how I want (maybe prioritizing based on interest rates/incentive schemes or convenience to withdraw from). Put it as a cron job and let it run every night.
In which case the compiler will emit the overflow or bounds checks, which is fine.

If the developer is certain that a specific add operation should use unchecked add for performance, then they can override the behaviour as a spot micro-optimisation. That then becomes a "self documenting" thing, easily found by a simple keyword search.

To give you an idea of just how rarely this is actually needed or done, there are less than a thousand uses of "unchecked_add()" in all of the Rust code on GitHub!

Or possibly multiple typesetters, as the disparate "4" versions may imply.
Chargebacks are mandated by law on credit-cards in Europe, and they have saved the ass of many people, and stopped a lot of fraud.

When covid hapepned, many airplane companies were not refunding cancelled flights, everyone who bought tickets with a credit card could do a chargeback, and buy another ticket. Everyone else was stuck in disputes for months, some for years, some never got money back.

When you pay with a debit card, you are paying with your money. So you could lose all the money you have, that's bad.

But the credit-card is the Bank's money. You could loose all the money you don't have. You could lose unlimited amount of money - after all, the bank decides if to accept a transaction. That's Much Much Worse.

So let's say you bought something for $500 on the credit card, then the bank has to collect this money from you.

So the Chargeback is really you telling the bank that someone stole from them, it was the bank's money after all, and that they cannot collect from you. It is then between the bank and the merchant to fight it out.

Basically the bank is providing you credit, they decide how much credit to provide, and they are also in charge of security -> making sure it was you and not someone stealing your credit card. So they hold the buck.
Lots of things can improve it. eating healthy, reducing chronic stress, sleeping well, fasting, HIIT.

mitochondria are the victims of everything detrimental to the body because they're integral to the body in general.

Likewise they are benefactors of many things beneficial to the body.

Mitochondrial function impairment is integral to most chronic disease processes. It's not really like a novel thing. It's just expected.

John Birch society that was founded in 1950s to bring back mid 1800s American anti-intellectualism and religious fundamentalism grew until 1980 and eventually put Reaganites into power. Then this setup exported it to everywhere else it could export itself. Even recently, Trump was openly saying that the US was going to support right-wing movements in Europe a short time before he left the White House.

Its the old, religious anti-intellectual fundamentalists that dominated the middle America in 1800s who came back and never left.

I feel like this is a bigger thing than people realize.

Changing creative output to match the proposed ethical boundaries of a corporation that you're beholden to by using their tool seems like such a new leap to hoist onto the public en-masse.

I presume somewhere there is an agreement that forbids the use of 'notepad.exe' in matters of anti-state espionage, homicide, whatever; but this is the first time that a tool is actually good at self-checking to make sure that the license /whatever is upheld rigidly -- and I feel as if that has far-reaching effects on not just the creative output but the thinking structures for those that are involved in the use of such tools.

If you know that the tool that you're using forbids certain things, you're either going to think about using it for other things or pursue other tools; given that openAI is effectively the only game in town right now they seem to be in a unique position to affect change in the way people are thinking about using these tools.

this could be good or bad, I don't really sway one way or another, but it seems important .
Well, given a pdp-11, runoff, a tulip-wheel printer, a 300- (maybe 1200, forget) baud modem and a pile of 25% rag dissertation paper you too can create a dissertation. Sorta tedious but it worked.
Machines are not alive, they are constructed and for them to develop intelligence the capacity would either need to be constructed too (how?) or it would need to appear as an 'emergent quality'. I think the latter is the line that believers in the concept of 'AI' mostly take but I see it as magical thinking as we have had no indications of such emergent behaviour in our experience with the machines we have constructed, nor are there any good reasons as far as I can see as to why we might hope or expect it to appear. I see it only as a part of the long history of humans and human cultures projecting their own intelligence and agency onto inanimate objects. Again, 'magical thinking'.

I acknowledge and am mostly fine with the idea that machines can 'learn'. But they learn (the game of Go, navigating a car in the real world, etc) under our direction and training (even if they potentially go on to surpass our abilities in these tasks). They don't have any agency; they don't have any curiosity; they don't have any 'spirit of consciousness'; they are not intelligent. They have simply been trained and learnt to perform a task. It's a great mistake to confuse this with intelligence. And the field itself is acknowledging this mistake as it matures, with the ongoing change of nomenclature from 'Artificial intelligence' to 'machine learning'.
