> I get the feeling that they emphasize a kind of personal monasticism and asceticism, which seems not exactly antithetical to what the Gita propounds, but is certainly a very restricted reading.

Their interpretation is heavily filtered through the 15th century devotional movement of Chaitanya, himself a member of the devotional/dualist lineage started by Madhvacharya. Their beliefs stem from the medieval sectarian Puranic literature, and have the goals of moralization and idealization of Indian rural, pastoral, doctrinally vegetarian lifestyles, which is a perspective very far removed from the martial culture that produced the Mahabharata. Hence the strained interpretation they use.

I'd also argue that there is nothing particularly monastic or ascetic about the Gita, which propounds that conquest and the fruits thereof are not only acceptable, but are expected as a matter of the prince's duty.
There are similar things in the UK, and if an avoidance scheme is found to be non-compliant after the fact, you can suddenly find yourself oweing a lot of back taxes and penalties. For instance there are rules about how much company turnover needs to be before you have to start collecting VAT. If you start a second company and start funneling transactions through that to avoid this threshold, your little 'hack' is illegal, despite it being perfectly legal to own and run two companies.

As a contractor, I had several schemes attempt to woo me to use them, with ludicrous promises like "Keep 92% of your gross earnings!". I always said no thanks. Now I read on contractor forums as people panic that HMRC has evaluated their magic tax avoidance strategy and they want back taxes plus interest and I have no sympathy - they were high earners and they were trying to avoid contributing their share.

The worst are the loan schemes - You give all your earnings to an offshore entity, and it gives 95% back as an interest free 'loan' that is never expected to be repaid. No tax! W00t! But now not only are the tax authorities interested in you, but when some of these schemes wind down an external liquidator takes a look at the books and decides "Hey, there's all these loans outstanding, we need to recover these funds for shareholders!". Ruh-roh.

I am curious, do you block MS Edge? It has a grammar check for all input boxes that sends data to MS servers to check. Similar to what Grammarly does.

MS also "helpfully" asks you if you want to use that enhanced grammar check in MS Word(as far as I have seen, might be there in other office products too). I cannot imagine sending all my documents to MS. But I am not sure most users will realize what is happening.

All these companies offer helpful services but are hovering up data and no one knows the consequences yet. It feels like ChatGPT is just one symptom of a bigger problem.
That's not particularly fair, a lot of companies hired way too many people for big salaries and now they're feeling the pinch. People are getting hired straight out of uni into these inefficient companies that have them do bullshit roles, but it is hard to fault someome for cashing in an absurdly high payslip and doing what they're asked.

It’s uncommon worldwide, but the majority of Japanese companies pay for employees’ regular daily commuting expenses in full [1]. Typically this is in the form of a commuter ticket that is good for journeys anywhere on the route between your home and work. Pretty handy if you want to break up your journey midway to run some errands or stop off at a cafe or restaurant.

Granted, this is something of a holdover from Japanese society in the late 20th century where lifetime employment was the norm, and nowadays this practice is becoming slightly less common. For instance, a specialist working for a Japanese company (like myself, a few years back), should expect to pay for their own transportation costs. Frankly, it was worth bearing the cost myself, though, as I did not need to reciprocate loyalty to the company in the same way my coworkers did by spending long hours at the office and participating in mandatory-ish social gatherings that lasted late into the night.

What's truly horrifying, and cannot be explained by "mobile", is that they autocorrect quoted words and phrases quite often now, if query has "too few results" (one of which is exactly what you need, of course, which is why you used the quotes in the first place...).
The opposite, actually.

The last one feels like it was tacked on later and contains contemporary creation myths and practical philosophy.

That is things which someone presumably got tired of answering again and again and just added as an appendix.

React is perfectly hyped, the introduction and complete absorption of flux architecture proves this. It's changed how we even write vanilla javascript. Most of the lessons we're talking about right now about questioning whether we even need state management paradigms to such a degree would not have happened without React.

So if a problem exists about this scenario, it isn't about React, but how teams decide on tools. And unfortunately, most teams that aren't building their own solutions, go with the tool that has the largest "safest" community, not the one that accurately solves their issue.
I use an Excel spreadsheet as the central document for each customer. No stopwatch, I'm aware of how much I work and make an entry before stopping work or switching to a different customer. I used to be more granular on recording to the closest 15 minute increment, but that's tedious and allowing myself to be distracted isn't worth it, so I ensure the customer gets an even hour worth of work. I write down the date, hours, and short description of the work during that timeframe. If the customer has their own time management system, I record the day's entries into that at the end of the day. I record spreadsheet info into my QuickBooks invoices when it's time to bill. Then I create a new spreadsheet when starting a new invoicing period named with the date of the next invoice, e.g. CustomerName-20230327.xlsx.
I really wanted to use the service but as a hobbyist it was simply too expensive.

For comparison GPT-4 provides the following Python regex and then warns that it does not catch all edge cases and that it’s better to use a dedicated library like email-validator:

email_pattern = r"^(?=.{1,256})(?=.{1,64}@.{1,255}$)(?=\S)(?:(?!@)[\w&'+._%-]+(?:(?<!\\)[,;])?)(?<=\S)@((?=\S)(?!-)[A-Za-z0-9-]{1,63}(?<!-)\.?)+[A-Za-z]{2,19}(?<=\S)$"

The only issue i find with your proposition is that one could simply rebuild a whole site on a different platform: while that is true, one does not own or hold the code for the site as built using a website builder afaik (correct me if im wrong) and hence it is difficult to get similar results as the one on the "current" builder and takes up extra labour, where hiring a website builder and maintainer will ensure the ownership of the code.
Angular allows you to split your code into modules and then load them on-demand. For example, we have a module for the admin pages, which is only loaded when routing to one of them, which means that module is never loaded for non-admin users.

Note that `ssh git.charm.sh` is a serious privacy and security hazard: it will leak your local user name and the public keys for any keys you can authenticate with (enough to e.g. identify your GitHub account), and if you have ForwardAgent on (convenient but dangerous—if you use it, look into ProxyJump instead) it will allow the remote machine to impersonate you (e.g. push to any GitHub repository you can push to).

I recommend using an invocation like this instead when testing things like this; I think it’s enough (but welcome correction):

ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -a nobody@git.charm.sh

The 'creative tone' mode of Bing was upgraded to 'large context size', presumably 32K.

Any residents of CA, VA, or IL that have opted-out of Clearview with a 'Do Not Sell' request? I was recently wondering what that's like.

Of course, it runs into the same problem as many other opt-outs where you have to provide them some information so they can identify the records that correspond to you, and presumably delete or mark them as "don't sell". Except with Clearview, the only reference material you can provide is an image, so that would definitely bother some folks.

My impression is that Buddhism could hardly be more different than Ancient Greek philosophy. If there's a parallel between Buddhism and some Western tradition, it's to Gnosticism. Or perhaps various Judeo-Christian traditions that encouraged ascetism.

I belive an equally good headline would have been: "Japan wants women to have 2.1 kids but they're too scared to make them"

Japan has a Hikkomori problem, which means a 30% reduction in birth rate because those people stay single forever.

Japan also has the issue that large parts of the country will be heavily affected by global warming and you can already see the increase in typhoons right now. Parents are scared if their children will still have a safe home.

And lastly, the economy has stopped growing and turned into a zero sum game. It's a cutthroat competition for who gets promoted because new leadership positions typically only open up if someone dies or retires. That means young families are broke.

The paternity leave is catnip for western newspapers, but in my opinion almost irrelevant.
Can you buy the same ticket at a lower price if you buy it from another country?
I agree with you.. but we're also seeing a lot of money get thrown at things which will ultimately be

- Redundant due to winner takes all dynamics.
- Useless
- Way to expensive for what it does.
- Produced off of sky-high seed rounds at 150 MM.

This same dynamic happened with the www leading to an eventual crash - the mobile and social versions would have been more noticeable had it not happened in private markets and simultaneously with the valuation spike of the late teens. It would be almost more surprising if there wasn't a pull back eventually.

This also doesn't say anything about the people who work in AI. It's not a given that the legions of research scientists populating corporate labs will be the right people for new startups. Similarly it may turn out that prompt engineering is the dominant method for talking to LLMs rather than code.

If you’re after beauty and limited electronics, the Faema e61 is still made (ignore the Jubilee, the Legend is the one I mean). Most parts are I interchangeable with the original.

When I began reading this thread I thought roughly the same way. But not for long: if plugging together parts is building yourself a computer, then hosting on lower-level services is self-hosting.

But then on the other hand I'm on the "that's not self-hosting!" side when you shift from your own needs to selling a service: if you run and sell a gitsomething.com and it's all on AWS, that certainly isn't self-hosting. And again the similarity holds: when you operate a computer brand and it's all off the shelf parts you're not really a computer builder, even if the exact same configuration would nicely run under "I built this" when some by a consumer.
I really wonder if this sort of thing is the how AI will work.

I use mainly flask and restful flask. However restful flask has been deprecated, so I was really interested in FastAPI. Then someone pointed out the number of open issues on the FastAPI project, so I got spooked. Flask maybe has quite a few frameworks for implementing rest API. Not sure what the future holds for Flask.

As you pointed out

> A backend comes with all sorts of baggage: databases, managing user data, authentication, backups, and increased server load.

With Flask being a microframework and barebones, going through this list becomes a chore unless you have built dozens of webapp and have some kind of template.

So I kinda gave up on web-backend entirely and moved towards firebase. Most of the complicated stuff will happen on the VPS side of things and will be communicated to firebase via the SDK.
I don't even agree to begin with the idea that a tool that vastly increases your productivity is a security risk in the grand scheme of things, since you know, you can just allocate the time you were spending before on writing boilerplate towards securing systems.

There are many billions more waiting to be curated and digitized in collections around the world. See also GBIF, for tons of data on the tiny fraction that has been digitized. There are > 2 billion records there alone.

And now for a shameless plug. If you want to help one of the handful open-source tools (there are numerous commercial tools used as well) that are used to digitize these materials so that you can access all that goodness please check out TaxonWorks (https://taxonworks.org). We don't serve many collections, but we're growing, and doing some cool things. As a hint of scope of the problem, for those handful of collections we do serve, we have ~1 million specimens digitized from an estimated total of well over 20 million individuals. Lots of cool things to consider throughout, including this "AI" stuff.

Said another way, within two full human lifetimes the planets climate could further be irreversibly changed locking in 23 feet of sea level rise from Greenland alone.

Though, generally for emissions we are talking about a first order derivative. Just because you've slowed down from 100 to 50 does not mean you won't still run out of roadway.

So, if we are a hair away from that tippingpoint, and magically go to zero emissions, we'll still hit the tipping point. Hence, it's not two lifetimes, but that is the total runway left so far for this.

You can also consider the other extreme where CO2 is dumped into the atmosphere that everything shortens up. Another analogy, boil some water, put it off the burner, drop a small amount if ice in the water. The water won't cool off fast enough for the ice to not melt. It may take 10 minutes for that to happen, but the point of no return was when the water started at a boil.
In your experience, how often do criminals come in and tell the guy behind the counter that they need gas to commit a crime? Be specific.

That’s the difference: if you are aware that they’re making the transaction to further criminal activity, then you need to worry. You will find gas station owners who were charged: they’re the ones who helped fence stolen property or launder money.
