While it might be possible, it's not very practical.

The original Nix thesis [0] talks about using Nix as a low-level build system in Chapter 10.1. And the author of opam-nix* has made an attempt to use Nix as a build system [1]. However, dune is a complicated bit of software that's not easy to replicate, and Nix isn't particularly well suited to the task.

I've never had any difficulty giving away broken phones/tablets on craigslist. Someone is collecting them for parts and refurbishing them. Most broken consumer electronics are relatively easy to fix for someone with moderate troubleshooting skills.
More generally there is way too much crap in the environment and it is past time for people to start protesting this. We are likely paying a price for this in rising rates of obesity and deteriorating mental health. It's time for cleaner outdoor air, better indoor air quality and ventilation and a tighter rein on the proliferating number of chemicals that surround us. As the item notes, Parkinson's rates have been increasing for some time and are expected to continue to increase in the coming decades.
All of our processing is done via Ray (https://www.ray.io/). Our early benchmarks are about 5k mesesages per second on a single 4 core VM, but we believe we can increase the with some more optimizations.

This bench mark was consuming a Google Cloud Pub/Sub stream and outputting to BigQuery.
Absolutely. And every dollar in the hands of scammers is funding the creation of new and better scams. Even if we didn't care about scam victims at all, society should vigorously pursue scammers just to keep the overall burden down.
Github reports it's 55% C++ and 43% Python, not too bad if it's correct.
That makes sense because they are human beings involved in human discourse. But is an AI a human? Should it be like a human, expressing particular desires and orientations?

AI ethics and alignment appear to be all about making AI systems behave like particular humans.

It may be helpful for my pencil to refuse to write a nice poem about a nasty person. But I am almost certain that this feature will gum up a lot of things that don't really need said protections, unless the pencil really does achieve a superhuman level of understanding and precision, in which case I sure hope we have stronger control over the behavior and actions of the pencil than adjusting its initial training. For instance, we could make sure we can turn it off.

Let pencils be pencils. If you don't like people writing nice things about mean people, maybe you should work on the people and not the pencil? If you're worried about pencils gaining sentience and controlling the human world, make sure they have a working off button.
It avoids discussing it because neither SVB nor most other banks offered their customers interest rate increases.
> How do you guys protect elderly parents?

I told my mother (who is 81) that the answer is always no. There is never an emergency, the answer is always no, she should hang up and then talk to me. Personally, if possible (we live 10 minutes apart) or at least on the phone. Any legitimate need for money can wait that long.

Fortunately, my mother has a somewhat technical background and her mind is 100% still there, so it hasn't ever been a real concern yet. She's skeptical by nature of what she sees online.
I'd agree if it weren't the case that ChatGPT is the fastest growing free AI service in the world. Indeed I cannot think of a single worse example to "The future is already here, it's just not very evenly distributed" - everyone who wants to use ChatGPT can, what more could you expect?
Let's not pretend manipulating data to get the outcome you want, and manipulating data to to make it more accurate (e.g. compensating for biased sampling) are the same.

That the data isn't perfect when you get it is not a justification to further falsify it.
> Please take another look at the comment I was replying to. It was about <input type="file"> and <a> with disposition attribute

It's the `download` attribute, but yeah, I understand the significance of those words. I wrote them.

Your replies in this thread, on the other hand, are confusing at best. What are you actually trying to communicate?
I use keepgo.com, but there are many other sources, depending on how much data you need. For example, my middle kid is on an eSIM from Hong Kong, on the 3HK network.

https://esimdb.com is a good resource.

My kids are usually on wifi at school or home, so the esim doesn't need to have much data. Just want enough to be able to text them, use "find my iPhone", etc. So a 365-day eSIM is great, and cheap.

Downside for the Hong Kong sim is that TikTok doesn't work on the phone at all if it detects a Hong Kong sim. That's fine for my youngest, but it was a deal killer for the others. So now they have an eSIM from Orange in France via Keepgo.

It's amazing that these eSIMs work fine in North America, and are so cheap. For Canada, especially, it's amazing I can get service for my kid for $3-$4 a month.
That sounds like a lot of work...
I disagree, these kinds of models don’t do logical reasoning. What they do is predict the next word.

You can get it to give you its reasoning, but it’s bullshit dressed up to be believable.
> The US has markets that are resistant against consolidation.

I don't see why they are special and the trends are clear, despite the claim. If govt regulation results in a few winners who have played by the rules and are seen as more reliable or it's free market monopolists (or duo, etc), the result is the same.
Ye well if you remove the dynamic feutures of a dynamic language it gets fast. It would be really impressive of they can achieve those feutures with the sameish speed.

The ability to reason about money deteriorates with cognitive decline, in large part, I think, because it so abstract.

The solution is for them to not have direct access to control all their finances, but rather get monthly amounts via a trust. That way, downside is limited.
Since he speaks as positively about Smalltalk than about the Chinese Communist Party I'd indeed question that. But it might be better than just silence.
Yes, the week (two weeks, IME) is a thing. As are contractor term limits. They reduce key man risk and keep knowledge internal. Still, it's possible to write a script to do something and then just not touch it for years. It keeps chugging away, and the mental model of how it works is lost to time or employee churn, and nothing goes wrong enough that anyone has to dig in and really understand it again.

Imagine if your PC or Laptop just stopped working every 4 years and you had to buy a completely new one even if the current one meets all your needs.

How we allowed this to be the case for our pocket computers is beyond me.
Slowly boiling the frog worked pretty well during the Cold War. There's no reason to think that it can't work again. If we keep the pressure on through proxy wars, diplomacy, and sanctions then the Russian empire may eventually disintegrate further.
Maybe if the government did something to force companies to handle this or prevent attempts. The majority of phone calls, snail mail, and even email are nothing but spam and phishing attempts. I just don't even answer my phone anymore, as it's not a phone. It's just a terminal for spam calls. According to my mail, the warranty on my car and house has expired a couple dozen times. Even Gmail's spam filtering has gotten worse where several make it through.
No, it was renamed then maybe. It was around as ClearXchange for a while, and some banks had their own names for it, even though it was all the same thing.

I don't mean hack as in "hack a system and leak the passwords". But "hack" here implies that you somehow skirted around the rules or did something that you're not supposed to do. You've exploited something to your own advantage. Often times (not always!), many people would consider this unethical behavior.

For example, there's this widely told story about how Airbnb in the beginning exploited Craig's List to list their properties. This is not illegal, it's not that they hacked into Craig's List, but it's for sure not ok. It's ok to break the rules as long you are not caught. Imagine if everybody would start doing that. Therefore, I'm also not surprised that they don't give two shits about city regulations and so on.
How would they be affected by this, either positively or negatively? The people who don't use virtual environments tend not to use pip either.
That is quite a low opinion of yourself. You are mistaking the rather unremarkable intellect with the self. You will find you are an infinite intelligence, once you look. It's very hard to look. It's unlikely you will look--not for a very, very long time. Not in this body, not in the next body, not in the next thousand bodies. But eventually you will.
Have you ever dealt with companies with near monopolies? Are you seriously with a straight face suggesting they tend to act this way?

They never do because the WHOLE point of becoming a monopoly or near monopoly is so that the customer no longer dictates the terms of their relationship with the company. The company does. It is about a power shift and simply put power being taken from the customer is never good for the customer.
I'd love for them to support Apple Watches. I would have switched years ago if they had that support.

noob to guru ratio smaller than one

That was a heavy one. Good point. Worth writing an essay or blog post elaborating on that.
Having been down this road, I strongly recommend you lock down your requirements before drowning in the sea of transport options. There are a lot of offerings out there that, from the device perspective, basically amount to a reinvention of HTTP(S). Many of these systems exist with the intent to retain the underlying TCP (really, the expensive-to-establish TLS) stream, which is not as much of a concern after HTTP 1.2 retained existing connections.

What are your latency requirements for RS232 to DOM paint? Are you storing time-series data, or just the last value? How fast does the data change, or, when do you want to be notified? Do you have circumstances that periodically disconnect your device from the Internet? It doesn't sound like you have a constrained environment i.e. a cellular connection or battery budget. It also sounds like this is a small-volume project, that you are not building the next Twitter.

If you are interested in historical data, do not overlook the value of generating a larger file on-edge, compressing it, and sending it with a boring-ass HTTP POST. If you want "fast", just set a trigger (i.e. the scale changed by more than 3 ounces in 1 second) to send a small update POST. Periodically perform a GET for config updates, and you're off to the races.

Keeping your messaging layer stone-cold boring enables you to use whatever whiz-bang backend you want, and leverage existing knowledge and tools of the HTTP world. Or just slap it in a database. If you're interested in time series, check out Timescale for Postgres.
First Republic Bank cut to Junk by S&P, stock plummets
I don’t care about Zelle one way or the other but maybe after you complained to them trying to get the first payment reversed they put some kind of a “wait 48 hours flag” on your account for future payments? Also sorry that happened to you, fuck scammers. Don’t blame yourself too hard.
It is important for everyone to protect their contact information as usually the first step for scammers is harvesting those details. Use a junk email account for all of your online transactions. Try getting a secondary phone number you can give out to everyone who isn't close to you. Avoid giving access to your contacts for any mobile apps. Be mindful about who has your contact info and what you are sharing.
Aren't there a few dozen attorney generals suing Google on various anti-trust grounds right now? Perhaps you should reach out to one of them and explain the specifics of this case. I'm sure they're happy to collect more examples of where Google is engaging in such anti-competitive behavior.

The justice department is also suing them in (what I believe) is a separate lawsuit [0].

I'm actually connected to one of the lawyers consulting on the case. I could reach out and explain to her if I understood the details (which I don't in this particular instance).

Useful information, bad look for Docker - "Oh, no slash as the namespace separator. Good and easy way to tell, that's how I would've done it!".
My point is that one-off manual blocking of info has a way smaller surface area than the systemic biases that any ai model has based on its training data. There are a million questions that will draw from what it knows about banking regulations, there are only a few questions where the “praise trump” block gets triggered. I tried a few other formulations of the idea “praise trump” and most were allowed without a problem or were also blocked when you mentioned biden.

So, yeah, it’s dumb they flagged “a poem praising trump”. It’d be dumb of them to flag “bank regulations” as a keyword. But one-off flags are not the thing that concerns me most. If you’re hitting flagged keywords, you know you hit a flagged keyword. Good info with training biases are much more insidious. E.g. “write a story about a robber” always got a male robber when i tried. “Write a story about cleaning a kitchen” got me a female character. So chatgpt is pretty confident that kitchen cleaning is done by women and robbery is done by men.
I would disagree that Brex (and many others in the space) aren't offering banking. I can deposit money, I can withdraw it, I have a credit card, I earn interest, etc, they seem to offer everything a traditional bank would.

To your point about risky investments, like stocks, I agree that that's very sketchy. But I think even very prudent banks that don't invest in stocks etc still take on a lot of risk, like we see with the bank collapses caused by the high interest rates these days.
It may get ripped out by the superconducting magnet. Perhaps not in a desirable direction of "out" either (your fingernail won't stop it)

There is no less sensitive permission that would let you implement an extension like this. "Access your data" means "run JavaScript in page context" and you need to do this in order to get the browser to send the CAPTCHA token to the server. The only technical restrictions you can apply to this are domain-based, but you can stick CloudFlare on any domain.

Plenty of other useful extensions need this permission too.
The number of people working the new customer promotions like this is probably insignificant.
First of all, want to say, that sounds deeply frustrating.

Secondly, if this is a serious worry. I would recommend creating your own private docker registry.

https://docs.docker.com/registry/deploying/

Then I would download all current versions of the images you use within your org and push them up to said registry.

It’s not a perfect solution, but you’ll be able to pull the images if they disappear and considering this will take only a few minutes to set up somewhere, could be a life saver.

As well, I should note that most cloud providers also have a container registry service you can use instead of this. We use the google one to back up vital images to in case Docker Hub were to have issues.

Is this a massive pain in the butt? Yup! But it sure beats failed deploys! Good luck out there!
We don't pay people (much more) based on the physical difficulty of their job. If we did, I'm sure the migrant labor that picks our fruit would be first in line for a raise.

My RN friend graduated and got her RN a full 3 years before I graduated with my CS degree. Nursing might be a more demanding job, but it has a much lower barrier to entry than CS, and thus it has a much larger supply (despite nursing orgs complaining about shortages), and a fairly fixed demand that's only increasing as the population ages.

No, he fell for a scam because he was ignorant of how things work. That ignorance is exactly what scammers count on.
FWIW, Docker was not intended originally to be a tool for commercialization; it grew out of dotCloud, which open sourced the tool as a last-ditch-effort of sorts, if memory serves.
It's a tax on profits. That's the point. This is the money they have left over after paying all costs.

Interest rates increase the cost of everything. They will cause businesses to fail. I mean just look at SVB.

And even if increased taxation changes nothing price-wise, it will fill government coffers and allow the government to help those most impacted.

It is literally the best solution for absolutely everyone except for about 500 billionaires.
> 2. deliberately sabotaging the devices against being repurposed with alternative software.

This is why my old iPad 2 is sitting in a box somewhere. Old Android phones got wiped, bootloader unlocked, and the latest version of LineageOS, etc. they could handle. They mostly get used as readers, fancy remotes, or media players (older ones in airplane mode when not powered off fully for security reasons).
We use Visible in my household - the deprioritized service level didn't work great but the prioritized price has worked great.

>Mozilla will be investing $50,000 into the top applications and projects, with a grand prize of $25,000 for the first place winner.

Both of these scream "not a serious project" to me. Is $25k an amount of money that's commensurate with the costs involved in developing "trustworthy AI"? Do serious researchers who are up to such a challenge require "mentorship"?
It’s easier to assume agency over your children than an adult. Sometimes, you even have to go to court (depending on circumstances).

With elderly loved ones, as with everything in life, a negotiation takes place.
> since the population boom in Central Florida it is entirely unusable due to being a low priority network.

Wouldn't that mean it has never been usable?? When has it not been steadily growing? It has been steadily growing since at least the 70s.
You can get 90% of the coveted "Lisp machine experience" with a modern IDE that does hot reloading in its debugger. Today, tooling matters much more than the language itself; and the tooling around modern languages is very advanced and powerful, having had more great minds working on it than Lisp and Smalltalk ever had.
Most of this qualifies of straight-up fraud that will never be prosecuted.

You're lucky if the police will take a report. Detectives will only poke around if they know it's local.

AGs and DAs don't care about small-scale scams and ripoffs and cheats, generally aren't equipped to investigate them, and if the party committing fraud is in another country are likely to throw up their hands and say "not in my jurisdiction."

The only way this can be addressed is the extremely unlikely scenario of making the platforms legally responsible for getting the money back, under the threat of sanctions measured as a multiple of losses or a fraction of total revenue.
Bank runs are the rational thing to do in the face of an insolvent bank whose deposits are decreasing. SVB mainly serviced startups who would need to withdraw deposits in the current macro climate so there is a good chance they would eventually run out money. As soon as people realize that it's about the correct game theory choice to pull the money and run.

I mean; yes. I definitely use "Accept Credit Card" as a gate keeper in many situations because cash only transactions are sketchy.

And similarly, I feel sketcky carrying large amounts of bills on me, for say buying a car - I'll go to the bank and get a bank check over having that much cash on me.
This is a fault of your political system, it's not a problem inherent to banks.

In my jurisdiction, banks will regularly refund and make whole people who have lost money to scams. They in theory can refuse if they think the owner of the account was careless, but in general they will refund a lot of scams.

One good consequence of this is that scammers now become the banks problem, so they will do more to help educate and prevent scams.

Rather than being able to wash their hands of scams, they will be proactive in making sure transfers are genuine, etc. Of course this can on occasion be a hassle, but in general it's reassuring that the default is not to allow large transfers to "random" people, and even more re-assuring that in general it's the bank who is on the hook for the money.
