If I may give some feedback: when editing the name of the habit, could you please insert the habit name string into the text field? Completely retyping it is a bit cumbersome.
Are e.g. AliExpress, Alibaba and TaoBao ‘different’ for sellers now?

Like, do they need two or three separate accounts and the ability to process orders separately for each market, or will this complicate things for them?
I don't know about Russia, but the US human-rates the "launch" part of the system, e.g. the "stage 1" of the rocket. What I was pointing out is that given the available data it seems odd that we're engaged in that at all.

Especially if we consider SpaceX, whose Falcon 9 should probably have gained automatic human rating based on its record, but the bureaucracy persists.

I think saying the SLS only had one launch failure amounts to creative accounting, STS-107 was also a launch failure, just a delayed one.

If the orbiter had been boosted to orbit by magic it wouldn't have broken apart on reentry, it's only because of how the launch system works that it did so (tiles damaged during launch).

So, getting back to a Delta II (or a successor system), in that case the reentry system would have been a capsule protected by a fairing, and mounted on top of the rocket, and therefore debris falling onto the reentry vehicle during launch wouldn't be a failure mode of the system.
This looks really well architected, and your documentation is really easy to read, it's structured logically and simply which is refreshing.

It also looks pretty powerful, though I admit I haven't used it yet and haven't used Dask or Ray but it's making me go look into popping spark back up and learning this.

Kudos on what looks to be a really well built product.

The sign-up process is flawed. “Apiable” asks me for an Email address, first name, last name, and password. But on the login page it asks me for username and password. I never set a username.
The mistakes the trans activists made were going after the kids, and demanding access to each and every female-only space for males. If they'd done neither of those things, the conservatives would have nothing to say at all.
You might be right about it not being intentional (putting aside the argument that lack of choice is itself a choice), but I would argue that putting in the effort is their responsibility as a part of the larger goal of sustainability.

In this case Apple says they want their products to be completely sustainable, and yet they are choosing profit over sustainability by putting fences on either side of the circular treadmill.

Part of me agrees with what you’re saying. I mean, tokio is right there in the namespace.

But another part of me questions why it’s ok that calling a function in the wrong context is a runtime panic rather than a compilation error. Coming from a C background it seems pretty normal to just have a “tokio_context*” argument on tokio functions that would at least make the statefullness less obscure?

They don't, but it's hard to crack down on. The only way for Amazon to know is if the people who get the gift card notify Amazon, which isn't likely to happen.

Here's a story about how Amazon banned a popular battery/charger maker because of the same thing you're talking about. (I have one of their batteries... it was pretty good too).

Yes, use a VPS or dedicated instance, one machine is usually enough. This is exactly what I'm saying :)

And yes, if the whole point is to utilize AWS resources, then of course a architecture like that is fine, as it's a learning exercise (to learn how to utilize resources). My comment includes that as well.

As far as I can tell, the author is studying at a university, that makes them a student in my mind. Maybe they do other things than just studying, I didn't look into it very far, hence the "maybes" and other caveats in my initial comment.
Nah man the cold water is a refreshing wake up and a welcome guest after those spicy dumps.
I have to wonder how much of that is due to the Microsoft acquisition. Now that they are owned by Microsoft they can leverage internal resources (especially from Azure). So there's a lot of functionalities and DevOps roles that are effectively duplicates.
Hi there. IMO, there are three issues there: familiarity, mental model, and caveats (using $ and not getting reactive updates in some cases).

Focusing on mental model, maybe my mental model can inspire yours? Here it goes.

- For me, `$: dependent variable = expression(independent variables)`, is an equation that Svelte guarantees will hold across the single-file component (SFC). So whenever an independent variable change, the dependent variable is also updated to maintained the equation.
- Caveat: In the statement `$: dependent variable = expression(independent variables)`, the expression language is JavaScript but the semantics of the statement are Svelte's (i.e. *Svelte's* scoping rules apply, not JavaScript's). SvelteScript is so close from JavaScript that it feels intuitive to use but confusing when the two differ. In a poor analogy, just like using a word that means something in French, another in Spanish, and wrongly guessing the source language (hence the meaning) that applies.

Then:
- `$: {some statements here featuring independent variables}`. *Svelte's* scoping rules apply (only the variables visible in the block are targeted by Svelte's reactivity). This is not an equation anymore, it is the expression of an effect triggered by change in dependent variables.

Why this is natural to me? At the specification level, reactive systems are specified with three core syntactic constructs:

1. event -> reaction
2. dependent variable = function (independent variable)
3. dependent variable <- function (independent variables)

The first item means is where you specify what happens when an event occurs. for instance button click -> (counter <- counter + 1; render new counter)

The second item is the same as lambda abstraction. Say `area = f(length, width)`. That's true all the time and allows using `area` everywhere needed instead of `f(length, width)`. But by referential equality rules, you could absolutely do away with `area` - at the expense of course of less clear and more verbose code (and probably less performant too)

The third item is assignment, and is used to describe changes in the state of the component. As a rule, (reaction, new state) = f(event, current state). So the third item describes how to get new state from current state. The first item describes how to get the reaction from the event and current state. The second item is optional but helps a lot readability, conciseness, and performance (not computing `area` twice if you use it twice).

In Svelte syntax:
1 is $: {reaction code here} (event is some change in value of variables scoped in the code)
1 bis: <some html code here> is the same case as 1 with a different syntax when the reaction is a (re)render. Whenever the dependent variables in scope change, a rerender reaction is executed.
2 is $: x = f(a,b,c,...) (Note that the right hand is a single variable name)
3 is any assignment occurring in the SFC.

Not sure if that helps, but well, that's how I stay away from the pitfalls of mixing SvelteScript and JavaScript. Identify events, state variables, the reaction to the events, and the state changes. Then translate that into SvelteScript.
Yeah, 13 years ago I wrote a small signup app for tracking pick-up hockey skates I run regularly.

It's a pretty cool system, you have your roster of players and setup skates, and it automatically emails everyone x number of days before the skate. You can see who signs up, pay online, etc and if a goalie who's signed up cancels, the 'Skate Operator' is emailed immediately to take care of that (it's a big deal to not have two goalies). It also has an automatic waitlist, and if someone cancels before the skate, and you're the first person on the waitlist, it moves you to the end of the list and emails you to let them know you're in for the skate. It also sends out a reminder X hours before the skate, day of, etc.

After I started using it for my own skates, a few rink managers contacted me to discuss using it for their rink. I met with 2 different groups / municipalities (because most rinks are owned by the city they're in), and it never went any farther than those meetings. They didn't want to use a system by some guy that couldn't maintain it, wouldn't keep it going for more than a year or 3.

13 years later and I'm writing a new version and have run something like 11k skates in that time. There is one small, privately owned rink near my house, has used it the entire time without issue. I've got a few other friends/individuals that use it, too.

It is possible for a single person to create and maintain something purely because they need it.
On the other hand, it increases the range of available products on Amazon (at the cost of lowering the average quality). What they really need is to make those sellers easy to spot and filter out, if necessary.
There are people who benefit from it; there’s no (or negative) net social benefit, but that’s true of lots of the things that motivate laws.
Some of them would be as simple as "this sold a lot of copies when listed under Tablet Accessories for $5.99, now it's in Laptops for $599"...

mention a valid use case = "plugging crypto"

never mention any = "there are no valid use cases for crypto"

And this is a fairly common one. For example it's how GrapheneOS pays their developers, because TradFi (especially cross-border) is too capricious.
Not necessarily, see the developments in self supervised learning. It's what's relied on for the majority of the RLHF phase in current LLMs.

The decision to open source is surprising at first glance. But it makes a lot of sense. With the greatly enhanced coding productivity, the ROI for tweaking open source tools is quite high. This puts closed source tools at a significant disadvantage in terms of customization.
They are a little late to the AI coding assistant market, this move enables them to capture market share rapidly and slow down the competitors in building up data moat.
Thanks for the detailed breakdown of your analysis!

The case of erasing nodes after duplication 'unnecessarily' must be handled and cannot be dismissed - being much of the core use case of lazy evaluation.

From your breakdown it suggests that compilers to HVM use some heuristic which uses `&` immutable references on most data-like nodes, and lazy duplication on code-like nodes. I'm quite sure that still doesn't solve the issue of unnecessary duplications in the general case, but it does seem plausible that such measures suffice to slice the Gordian Knot in practice, similar to how you eliminated the 'oracle' with your superposition resolution - to very practically sidestep the uncommon, complicated case. Indeed, the distinction between code-like nodes and data-like nodes dictates very much of their behaviour during reduction, whereas in much of PLT literature and pure interaction nets, every node is 'code-like'.

I'm not sure if this is good enough in practice, if as I believe, HVM is meant to be a compiler target; I fear that good heuristics may not be enough, where the 'unnecessary' erase-after-duplicates arise from complex code paths, and may perhaps become apparent intermittently (but catastrophically) or only be clear on inspecting compilation output.

Looking forward to more of your work!

No, forums died because of a two-fold hit - Tapatalk bought out exclusivity rights for mobile access on most of the bigger forums, then did jack with it and made their phone app unusable.

The other death knell was Facebook getting on the phone train early, which meant that people moved to FB en-masse (which was already happening but got accelerated due to this.)

> That's an interesting point, and it got me thinking: why _do_ I continue buying from Amazon over AliExpress etc.?

I asked myself the same question back in January and also couldn't come up with an answer beyond shipping speed, so I cancelled Prime and now just use AliExpress for most things that would've been an Amazon purchase before. Even the slower speed isn't that bad: if I genuinely need it right away I'll travel to a physical store; otherwise the extended wait feels healthy for reducing useless impulse purchases.
It's stuff like this that makes me avoid online-only retailers as far as possible. My first choice is still to go to the store. Second choice is to never order from third-party sellers on Walmart or whoever's website.

The minor price differences between online and in-store aren't worth the hassle. The only reason to order online is for long-tail items. Spare parts, replacements that you simply can't get in-store.
Every toilet already has a pressurized water line going to it.... it wouldn't be able to refill after a flush if it didn't

When big tech companies started paying $200k-$300k salaries to fresh grads, the startup dream kind of started to fade. Realistically speaking, going to whatever big tech co has probably yielded a far better ROI to the majority of engineers if we look at their 10 year employment history, compared to their peers that went all-in on startups.

Anyone remember when hardware manufacturers and media companies were separate?

I agree with this perspective. But I also see the current crop of AI as a "brute force" method towards AGI, which could still be combined with a symbolic system to make it significantly more efficient at basic reasoning. I sadly don't know why certain neural-symbolic aproaches haven't been explored further despite their incredibly promising results in the past.

Computers are electrical automatons that process binary signals and little else. Without a human at the end of the chain to interpret these signals (whatever representation they’ve been given), there is no meaning whatsoever.

So an AI that simply recycles its own input ad infinitum might produce something but it won’t be meaningful to us humans. Hence, it’s unlikely to be useful apart from the novelty of it.
I hope that others can find a path too. I worry for some friends & family who seem properly addicted to the idea that stuff can magically appear on their doorstep within 24-48 hours. I know some who receive multiple shipments from all 3 major carriers every single day. Just the slightest amount of planning ahead would prevent the need for the kind of retail model they provide.

Everything about Amazon is intended to increase the amount of time you spend with Amazon. The 50% chance of broken crap keeps you coming back to their support center, with all sorts of dark patterns designed to send you right back into their store again.
Because that's already a redirect for the standard Music app?

My guess is that the team developed the site without knowing whether they'd have permission to deploy it on *.apple or not, so they put apple in the domain basename and it was deemed not worth it to take it out once they knew the deploy target. Just guessing, though.

What is your sentence trying to convey?
Honestly, these seems like a perfect problem for GPT.

Show the title and main description to GPT everytime the seller makes a change, and ask "Do these seem to be the same product?"

If GPT says that they seem different, flag for human review.

You could probably even ask GPT to take its confidence. If it's highly confident, skip the human review.
Technical nit: "your implementation might not need state". Code only has one state: itself.
This can only mean 2 things in its essence (either of them or both):

1. You're not far away from beginner level in your C++/Networking enthusiasm
2. The types of products/codebase you deal with was overengineered, outdated, dumb or poorly designed in the first place

Unfortunately there are still piles of piles of garbage code and so called "architecture" being produced every day. That is a low hanging fruit for AI and rightfully so.
Why would it be a joke?

First, surely you grasp that many people use these things called "speakers" to listen to music. Not all consumption is done with headphones.

Second, even if we narrow the question to headphone listening, the "failure" or "unsuitability" of Bluetooth for headphones is profoundly overblown. In 2023, gGood headphones, wired or wireless, sound fine if given a decent source.

I was definitely a skeptic, and while I couldn't set up anything like ABX testing, I have spent time trying to honestly compare my AirPods MAX to my price-peer wired Sennheisers run through a FiiO headphone amp.

The tl;dr is that it's POSSIBLE the traditional wired setup might sound a tiny bit better, but both sound REALLY REALLY GREAT. Any edge possibly enjoyed by the traditional setup was thin, and only evident in fairly narrow cases.

I was pretty surprised given my original bias against wireless headphones for critical listening, but here we are.
I'm guessing they are studying? That would make them a student, as far as I know. But English is not my first language, maybe there is multiple meanings of student and not all of them fit someone who is "pursuing a PhD".
Sorry wasn't my intention. It's free.
> They almost never have a reason to reject a purely positive change, and turn-around for simple positive changes can be 24 hours easily

This isn't obviously a purely positive change. Maybe some employees would prefer a current cash-only tip policy (maybe they think the tips are larger in cash; maybe less than 100% of those cash tips find their way onto income tax forms; maybe their paychecks are garnished or subject to a income sharing/alimony/child support arrangement while folding cash isn't; maybe they like getting the tip immediately and using it to buy lunch or gas that day rather than getting it later via payroll).

These are things that a union representing the employees must be consulted on and the story paints this as a purely positive change, but there are times in my life where I'd rather have gotten $10 in cash before lunch than $12 two weeks later in my paycheck.

They could also have some system to flag these listings for manual review by an Amazon employee, instead of expecting every individual customer to figure it out.

I mean with all the AI hype, you'd think they could whip something up that would at least be able to detect when the listing has changed to a completely new product category.
