My fave is people giving me advice about my recently-purchased 1950 Ford 8N. They didn't know I actually have some rural experience with tractors. Everybody has a story about someone they know maimed/killed by them. Especially surrounding the PTO, which duh, it's heavy machinery.
I'm all for e-bikes but you'd have to pay me $1500-$2500 to ride this ugly thing.
It's a different kind of sound. Tire noise is white noise (or at least, similar). My experience working in close proximity to a light rail line was 1) the train shakes the ground as it goes by, and 2) if you're near a corner, the squeaking is pretty loud. We have water sprayers in those areas to try and cut down on the howling, but it's not a panacea.
Are ants intelligent?

I think it is an important distinction to make in every similar discussion - certain animals just have some behavior “hard-coded”. Humans realized the need and the how of building cities/homes.
Lessons from a Pessimist: Make Your Pessimism Productive
This is a very weird statement that's failing based on logical category.

My computer will pretty much add 1+1 correctly forever never making a mistake.

My computer will perform an 'error' every time I put bad code into it, and some of those logic chains and error conditions are not very obvious.

The issue here is you think the LLM is performing a category 1 error, when the problem we are seeing is a much more human like category 2 error.

anyone ever made a Kenji pizza?

I've made a handful...from when he originally repurposed the Jim Lahey recipe and then after when he abandoned that, I genuinely don't understand his popularity, somehow he has everyone convinced he is worth listening to.

Lots of other options for a word there, "air" would've worked fine... aura, mood, spirit...
Oops, I wasn't referencing anything specific when I typed this up. I can see how that is confusing. But yes, I agree with you. I won't say that there's no way to be against gay people without being hateful but it feels like an incredibly tough needle to thread.
You should post the list online. Name them and shame them. Otherwise what's the harm to them in doing it forever, to everyone?
i don't see the point in deleting my Twitter account, i just go long periods without using them depending on my mood

the very format is useless for anything other than flame wars and bait, culture wars and the occasional announcement - for all of that, going to a smaller network is pointless, it just reduces your reach and your scope; if it's worth the effort, you maintain accounts side by side

of course the most important thing to keep "meaningful conversations" is to have not the biggest but "the adequate" group of people participating, and for this... well, it's entirely specific on the topics and demographics you are interested in, the platform is almost irrelevant in the technical sense, even in the sense of its general policies to some extent as people move from platform to platform in such chaotic fashion
I live in a part of the world unblessed with deadly or even dangerous spiders. But no way I'm at ease with them. Daddy longlegs have had free run af the house since the first time I saw one making short shrift of a spider much more massive than itself. A smal resident population now keeps most of the scary stuff away.
His point was that the mere ability was the issue, not some implementation.

This is why Deno has gone so long without a true package manager. The problem here is now they're fighting for adoption so they're going against their original values because they know what they wanted isn't what the broader community wants.
From what I gather, there used to be, the "streetcar suburb" was exactly that. It no longer exists, at all. best you may get is some new urbanist toy town in the exurbs. They're great because they're better than a regular suburb, providing local walkability, but they're still isolated pods.
Sounds like the case for looking for a remote job is justified even more in the case of family/kids
Once, shortly after the .com bubble burst, and I only found out a year or so later. The interviewer, rather worse for ware, approached me in a nightclub and told me all about it.
The NAT box is proxying all the traffic. To the server you're contacting, the NAT box is the address. Which leads to fun things when you try to embed the callback address into the line protocol between the machines. It doesn't work.

So the NAT box gets 64k local ports for the entire organization, not for your one computer. That's still a lot, but if you have one or two popular remotes you talk to, you only get less than 2x64k combinations (say, 64k + 32k). If you have 10 employees that's not a problem. If you have 50k and each service makes 2 connections, you can run out quickly.
My parents have one in their house, and it's going to be a huge problem when they die and my brother and I have to fight over who gets to keep it.

No I understand these, I'm curious about what you're referring to when you say there was a report that industry wide comps are down sharply.
This are lots of JS templating libraries that use tagged literals. It would be odd to release a templating library in 2023 that didn't use tagged literals.
The SF Fed's warnings last year were that, warnings; SVB management did not listen (quite possibly because the bank lacked a CRO for most of the year). That's not the same thing as the bank failing an actual, formal stress test.

While SVB and Credit Suisse's collapses' causes are directly unrelated, depositor outflows were involved in both, as opposed to fundamental issues with their balance sheets. Credit Suisse's Tier 1 ratio was as good as that of UBS or any other big European bank. <https://www.wsj.com/articles/credit-suisses-death-gives-birt...> At the end of the day, a loss of clients' faith in a bank is something that no stress test can directly measure ahead of time.

EDIT: SVB's Tier 1 ratio was 12%, among the highest for US regional banks. <https://www.morningstar.com/articles/1144363/which-bank-stoc...>
I've done similar exercises with FreeBSD. The tldr is, if you want to approach the connection limits[1], you need to use bind-before-connect for the bulk connections, and it's useful to have connect on a separate (small) port range, for the ancillary connections your machine might have. There's lots of other things you might want to do, such as divide your outgoing ports by thread/cpu so there's no conflicts; and if you're dividing by cpu, you should probably calculate the recieve side scaling (RSS) hash, most likely Toeplitz of the returning packets, so you work the socket from userspace on the same CPU it's going to be worked in kernelspace when it comes in.

Modern FreeBSD and presumably Linux are very good at scaling inbound connections, but if you need to scale outbound connections, you've got to do more of the work.

[1] Also, consider if you're in the client seat, you're more likely to be the one closing the connections, so you've got TIME_WAIT states on your side; depending on your rate of connection closing, you may have a significant number of those, clogging up your ports; or it may not be significant at all.
We did the same thing (very small company, but outsized cloud hosting costs due to the nature of our business), and frankly the biggest cost savings for us was shifting some resources off AWS and to other providers.

For us, Cloudfront was a massive expense that is without exagerration an order of magnitude more expensive than other providers, and even in the world of AWS custom pricing, it's a struggle to get cloudfront costs down to even the retail offering of other providers.
Humans are biological machines that can compute, no?

Ew. And, no mention of the RGB LEDs it apparently must have to qualify as a bit of modern consumer electronics?

We don't need more expensive, exotic ebikes. We need more "Cheap enough, good enough" ebikes that people will actually buy and use.

I think the sensible model is to eventually get rid of most car traffic in city centres, and concentrate the parking spots in suburbs, with adequate public transport to denser areas.

Personally I couldn't live without a car. Not because I need it much in the city right now, but because I need it to reach my relatives and meaningful places in the countryside, far away from any public transport. Cost of living is also something to consider, not everyone can afford a proper house within reach of public transport, and living in a flat sucks.
Your cells would also die alone, just like a single ant/bee.

We are social animals to the greatest degree.
But all that attention mining is still just a pyramid of "VaaS" upon "VaaS" that isn't turtles all the way down: even if all the advertisers on your ad medium seem to be other ad media (where you might very well be a customer yourself!) or products that have no use outside of ad and attention production, at some point there has to be an influx of money from the advertising to consumers, in the old-fashioned "exchange money for product" way. Every other transaction is just some echo of that (even of its an echo not constrained by chronological order). And attention has a hard limit of 24h/day. Things might to to eleven, but not much further.
Side note, makes me miss jsperf so bad, what a great site for having small tests that then hundreds of people would run & build off of. But even that didn't have npm support.

Sonic-memoize is just in a different league. Almost unbelievable. Has a lru cache impl too?! Thus far seems to not have any dependees on it though & tiny download count. Seems almost fishy. https://www.npmjs.com/package/sonic-memoize?activeTab=depend...

Code looks fine though. I'm surprised it's so much blisteringly faster!
For non-UK people, particularly American readers, the City of London, and inner London in general has zero public parking. It feels like even saying 'zero' is being pretty generous. Every street is restricted in some way (no parking, or exorbitant parking meters), and there are decreasingly few car parks/parking lots.

As it currently stands, qualified immunity means that officers are immune from lawsuits unless their behavior (e.g., beating the hell out of a guy to whom you never identified yourself) has previously been found to be unworthy of immunity.
FWIW, I've seen YT premium features geo-revert themselves while traveling, but ad display never reenables itself as far as I can tell.

Downloading new videos is the one feature which usually goes away, though I remember embeds getting squirrelly too, but that may just be vanilla YouTube.
> If the mob owns the robots

Collective ownership of the means of production?

I, too hope that automation will eventually help us figure out how to do Socialism that Doesn't Suck, but it's one hell of a jump to imagine that it will just happen automatically on top of existing systems given their long and well established history of relentlessly concentrating the ownership structure -- what is it, 90% of stocks are owned by 10% of Americans, or something? Even if super construct-o-bots became cheap, you'd also have to unwind the private ownership of natural resources. No, I don't see any of this happening smoothly. Do you?
In theory that’s how it could work.

In practice it seems be go subscription, and then make things that used to be free to everyone require not just the basic subscription but a premium one.

In that scenario, I doubt they would go all the way to discussing the offer and how they can shape the role for me. Also, I'm in design, which has less of an H1B presence. I think the org just decided at the final moment that they didn't actually want to hire for the role.
I always thought AWS is profit center and won't be impacted by the layoffs. It's interesting to see it here. Compared this to Google, GCP was not impacted by the layoff.

Please back up the claim "climate models has a terrible track record" and qualify the word 'terrible'.

Casting blame is a common denier tactic [1] used despite the models being useful and accurate [2].

The "whataboutisms" you mention are another common tactic. [3] Blaming EV batteries is a red herring; they have much lower lifecycle emissions than gas-based engines. [4]

It's not available in the US either. The latest list I can find says it's being tested in Belgium, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, and Luxembourg.

Nobody would buy it. Worst that might fly is a cord going to a phone, and I'm not sure about that.
And to be clear, the coverup was at least a two-handed effort of Chinese Communist Party and Ecohealth Alliance (US-based nonprofit pandemic/virus research org that operated in Wuhan.) Ecohealth was all-in to prevent inquiry into the lab leak possiblity from the start, including ghostwriting/astroturfing an op-ed pretending there was scientific consensus against a lab leak.

But it could be an option? I imagine there is a market for it. No one is asking current banking to be abolished but at least there should be an option for people who want to keep their money away from fractional reserve.
It's very disappointing that you cannot distinguish between "opposing views" and "death threats".

Let me try to help: one is not illegal so it should in principle be allowed on a platform that is seeking an honest discussion. The other is a crime and can be dealt withing the framework of the law. If the person commiting crimes is behind an anonymous identity, I think that's where the problem actually lies - perhaps the administrator should be compelled by law to disclose the real person behind the anonymous profile (is the Mastodon community against that)?! If what they've done is indeed against the law, then a ban is definitely justified (and may be required by law - i.e. we're back to the rule of law, not mob rules), no one will argue against that... but what I am against is banning people simply for having opposing views, which is what we actually see happening. Do you see people complaining that someone who commits crimes online should not be banned from anything? That's not my argument or anyone else's argument, so your response comes as a complete strawman.

Yeah for inferencing, sure. Try designing and training the models. It takes whole organizations to do that effectively.

Thus the future of AI eating its own tail - when we give up on maintaining the sites that feed the AI because the AI is so good at replacing them.

Then AI stops learning.
It was specifically popular because it was free. There are other similar sites and also other services if you are willing to pay.
They changed that behavior years ago.
It's considerably more expensive.
SuprSend raises $1.0M to help developers build product notifications
SuprSend, a notification infrastructure tool for developers to build and scale product notifications on all channels, has raised $1.0 million in funding. The current round is led by BoldCap, with participation from Titan Capital, FortyTwo.VC, All In Capital, and marquee angel investors.
The funds will be used to hire talent to do innovations on the platform and propel its growth by marketing and evangelizing among developers. Co-founder of SuprSend, Nikita Navral commented, "We are on a mission to help businesses build product notifications across multiple channels without spending massive engineering resources and time and help them deliver the right user experience. The funding will help us to accelerate that. We are excited that we have found partners who share our vision."
Launched in January 2022 by co-founders Nikita Navral of IIT Delhi and Gaurav Verma of IIT Bombay, SuprSend is headquartered in San Francisco. The team saw this problem first-hand in their earlier jobs, where developers spent a crippling amount of time in building and maintaining this service, and product teams depended on engineers for operational tasks.
"With so many channels and vendors present today, notifications have become complex to manage and scale. Companies build an orchestration layer which is either incomplete - leading to too many or too few notifications to the end user, or requires 10-15 engineers to make it sophisticated. With SuprSend, developers get a ready orchestration layer that takes care of integrations, routing, user preferences, compliances, logging, and scaling, at the same time Product Managers get a no-code tool to design and analyze all notifications centrally," stated Verma.
Sathya Nellore Sampat, General Partner BoldCap commented,“Developers hate grunt work, but today they still spend a significant amount of time integrating and managing every notification and communication platform individually. Today it’s not a notification delivery problem, it’s a notification fatigue problem that needs to be resolved with a smart delivery system. Currently there is an explosion of such communication platforms, companies spend a lot of time and effort to manage this internally and we realized this is a global problem.”
“With the blast in communication channels in recent years, companies are realizing that they need to pay attention to the user experience around notifications which is not a simple delivery system anymore. We are seeing teams dedicated to notifications in large companies as an indicator of the same," said Bipin Shah, who is Partner at Titan Capital, in a statement.
SuprSend platform is scaling fast, with more than 100 companies registered on the product, and total workflows processed through the platform is growing at 150% month-on-month.
For me, call quality on Meet is absolutely the worst compared w/ Zoom and Teams
Understood. Although personally I would file ADA case on the banning of ChatGPT and copilot as they both allow someone with a physical disability be able to work in software development.

And before you object, break your hands and try to live with speech recognition as it stands today. Then you will grab onto things like copilot as a lifesaver.
I imagine it like I'm on my PS5, playing something like Elden Ring, and I'm on a roll. Then I reach a boss and get it down to a sliver of health before I make one fatal mistake and it kills me.

On the retry I still have the confidence from the previous attempt but I can barely get a hit before being completely destroyed. How hard could it be? I was one move away from victory last time. But now the challenge is far more apparent.

This happens repeatedly as I use trial and improvement to learn the fight I so effortlessly put up in the first instance.

It reminds me of just how much is down to chance and what you did in a moment in time. Trying to consciously recreate it, but better, is a Sisyphean task.

Seems only fair to me. Publishing on the AppStore has costs.
Another corrective upvote.

We can't all define "better" exactly the same way, but I think it can be agreed there were mistakes due to immaturity that would not have ocurred otherwise.
It doesn't seem hyperbolic to me, and I don't understand the addition of "short timeframe". "next natural equilibrium" implies something like 100 years to me, at least. I am very concerned about climate change even though I understand it's not going to directly kill me in 10 years.
The DMA went into effect on 1 November 2022. It includes a grace period for companies to adjust to the law and provisions for member states to implement the law, making it effectively come into effect May this year with the law effectively coming into effect March next year (at the latest).

However, because the law will actually go into effect in two months, I expect the EU's inevitable case against the various gatekeeper companies to take into account decisions and practices from this May and onward.

Looking at the way the GDPR introduction went down, I expect large websites to start posting panic posts around January 2024, telling us how the DMA is going to kill our kids and poison our wells.
Yep fully agree! I wanted to highlight some areas that devs may immediately

It's often said that critical thinking is the cornerstone of a well-rounded education. Universities and colleges around the world extol the virtues of critical thinking and its ability to elevate our intellectual prowess. However, I'd like to argue that critical thinking, or more specifically, the way it's often employed in certain academic contexts, has become overrated and counterproductive to meaningful, constructive discourse.

In American college policy debates, a common phenomenon has emerged where "kritiks" (critiques) and "critical theorists" wield their tools of analysis in a manner that stifles the flow of ideas and inhibits the development of practical, solutions-oriented discussions. For those unfamiliar with policy debate, it is a competitive speaking activity where teams of two advocate for and against a resolution that typically proposes a policy change.

Kritiks are arguments that challenge the assumptions, methodology, or discourse used by the opposing team. While they can serve a valuable purpose in exposing biases, promoting introspection, and advocating for marginalized perspectives, they have also evolved into a means of derailing debates by focusing on abstract philosophical points rather than addressing the policy issue at hand.

Critical theorists, heavily influenced by postmodernist and marxist philosophy, have taken what was originally a quirk of Policy Debate and brought it to the mainstream. This has ended up with serial policy failure among the left wing, and has decimated our social science academic community.

"Critical Thinking" is overrated. We need constructive thinking, like what you get in engineering school.
