Sounds like my experience in the US. I haven't had the desire to pirate anything since the rise of streaming, but there was a time where getting "caught" was never a concern. Then around 2010 I think, you would get a threatening letter from your ISP saying they would ban you from their service, which included the content you downloaded. Considering the monopoly these ISPs have on their service areas that effectively meant a total ban from internet access.

Many people complain about sleep problems. Light exposure is essential to regulating sleep cycles, and going from full brightness to full darkness at night can easily contribute to those problems. Dimmers allow finer control of exposure.
Is Y Combinator worth the money? Brutally honest review of W22 batch experience
I'm reading these comments and thinking the same. While I have had a handful fail quicker than I think they should, on the whole ours are great. A bunch of them are dimmable, most are warm-white for a cosier light.

We can turn on every light in the house and it will use less than 200w. With incandescents and halogens (for gu10s) I'd be looking at more than that just to light the bathroom. The whole house would use about 1.5kw. Given that the lights are on a lot outside of summer (I'm in the UK) that's a pretty big saving.
Yes, but incandescent bulbs don't need to be cooled at all because they're just tungsten and glass. High powered LEDs require a heat sink to not damage the diode.
My home is full of bright, warm yellow/orange LEDs.

I also have a lot of "sunlight" LEDs which I'll describe as "white" and I LOVE them for big rooms and making daytime feel like daytime. Great for my office.

I recall blue being a big problem when LEDs for homes were new, but when I bought a house 3 years ago and revisited it, I was delighted to find so many very solid options. Dimmable, non-flicker, warm LED bulbs. The Canadian government also chipped in with my tax dollars so they were about 50 cents each.

My one complaint is that even the fancier, pricier ones seem to burn out too. In 3 years I've had to replace 4 ceiling bulbs of about 50 (the builder went nutty with recessed ceiling lights). I think they're just driven really harshly by the A/C.
I was about to post the exact same thing. They even had a couple of warmth options and the 2700K ones seem to work just fine in lamps that I use every day around the house.
For reading in the bedroom I use RGB strip behind furniture, preset to yellow. Diffuse light, no blue at all. Of course poor color rendering but I don't mind for this use case.
Of course, the incandescent bulb spectrum is different from the sun's daylight spectrum. You can imagine people making similar arguments 100+ years ago as the incandescent bulb grew in use.

I wonder how much of this color quality complaint is due to familiarity and comfort with what you grew up with?

At the same time, I find fluorescent lighting unbearable over long time periods, so I completely appreciate that these differences can be important.
Most people have an expectation that residential lighting is on the "warm" (low color temperature!) side. I have a lot of Hue and Sengled bulbs in the house which are tunable and my son complains that they look "harsh" when they are set to a high color temperature. Myself I do art projects that require making fine sensory distinctions and it clear to me that I can do that better with more blue light.

I've seen high-quality incandescent bulbs however that do very well on my tests despite being "warm" but I think a lot of people like using daylight from out the north window for evaluating prints and it was was a revolution a few decades back when art museums realized that higher color temperature lights brought out colors better.

Yup, it makes you wonder what's is the XML of right now. Humans like to participate in social manias, and our time is no exception.

I conjectured that it's Kubernetes. Just like XML, Kubernetes solves a problem, but it doesn't solve EVERY problem.

A sibling comment wrote that there was a startup whose mission was "do something with XML", and then they got acquired and didn't amount to much.

There's lots of that around Kubernetes now. Kubernetes companies get acquired and don't end up doing very much.

There's also another comment on the front page now (don't want to draw attention to it) where a person feels he is incompetent because he can't understand Kubernetes. It might be that he's competent, but an industry mania selected an inappropriate solution for his problem.

What I'd suggest (having quite a bit of history with UK recruiters):

For each section in your work history, create a subtitle and just list the technologies used.

Eg:

2020 - 2021 Company A

Technologies used: Python, Django, MySQL

2021 - 2022 Company B

Technologies used: Kubernetes, MongoDB, C++, pandas

This will just help recruiters who'll be skimming through your CV to put you in the right category.

LED lights are unfortunately a big marketing scam. Remember when they promised that the will last up to 20 years? Well, when I renovated my house 5 years ago I installed LED lights over my kitchen island - they were so bright that you couldn't look directly at them and it was too hard to see somebody on the other side of the island.. This is no longer true - they are visibly dimmer. In a few more years they will probably have to be replaced.. The problem is that since they don't use bulbs, I will have to replace the whole fixture.. and the current lamps will end up in the trash. We're not going to save our environment this way.
> Before XML you had random binary or text formats, so APIs were a lot of work?

Before XML there was, and still is, SGML. From W3C's XML spec:

> The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a subset of SGML that is completely described in this document. Its goal is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML.

So XML was intended to simplify HTML/SGML syntax, and in the form of SVG, MathML, and XHTML (XForms etc.) to add new vocabularies and vocabulary evolution facilities to the web.

There was this idea that your backend service produces XML payloads, and you transform that to HTML via XML transformation languages such as XSLT. Well, it's fair to say web frontend development took a different direction ;) but the initial idea was inspired by the web being a text/markup based environment rather than becoming a desktop replacement, which it eventually did for economic rather than technical reasons ie. nobody buying software hence only "service" lock-in was left to make a living from development (F/OSS played a role in this, too).

From there, XML was then suddenly used for config files and everything else; not so much because it was a good fit, but because it sold well and was ending tool discussions in projects.

There are numerous uses where XML wouldn't be today's choice for data exchange, but where XML is extremely useful and prevailing, even unlikely ones such as for exchanging 3D CAE models with Blender, but mostly enterprise and gov document and data exchange, because in 2000s and early 2010s the expectation towards "open" systems was higher, or just simply because the segment saw enormous growth during that time.

> - You have to register your current address with the local authorities (anmeldung) after moving into a new place.

Yeah. I do not see a problem with that. In fact, I like the idea of an identity being linked to a location, it makes scamming harder.

> - If you are in Germany and run a website, you need to have an Impressum on your website that states your address. So you are pretty much auto-doxxed every time you decide to maintain a personal website or blog. I am not sure how much this is enforced.

1. That is not entirely true: purely personal websites do not need an Impressum.
2. This is not enforced by the state, but by competitors (not having an Impressum is considered bad competitive practice).
3. The Impressum makes sense once you understand we treat websites like we treat newspapers (which have similar requirements), or flyers (which also have such requirements).

> - There is a "Stop and Identify" law (Personalausweisgesetz) that requires you to be in possession of an identity document, and hand it over instantly when asked to by any authorities, with substantial fines for noncompliance.

This is not true.

You must own an ID document (either a personal ID card, or a passport). Nowhere does it say you need to carry it around with you. When stopped, you can be held until your id can be verified (which takes about 5 minutes without an ID document, or 3 with one).

> - Wi-Fi portals always seem to have a great deal of personal data entry before you can get on the Internet. Apparently there were previously laws that put a great deal of liability on whoever ran a Wi-Fi network, which meant that businesses were naturally loathe to offer one.

Hm, whenever I am abroad (UK, France, Spain, Morocco), public WiFi seems to be a lot more restrictive and a lot more nosey than German public WiFi, so YMMV...
> How would that be fair?

I'm not sure how you could argue it wouldn't be fair. The US would only be treating Chinese companies like China treats US companies.

> Wouldn't giving American consumers access to what they want be the fairest of all?

No? Not unless China did likewise. What is your definition of fairness?

> Just because there's a wrong in China with their censorship, doesn't mean that adding another wrong in the US make a right.

How is "wrong" for the US to treat Chinese companies the way US companies are treated in China? These are simply trade agreements. Besides if you think what China is doing is wrong, then I hope you'd understand that the US ignoring it _enables_ that wrong.

By your logic, the US shouldn't ban products produced by slave labor. Do you mean to make that argument? If not, what would be different there?

I didn't know that's a thing! I'm currently suffering in a company that embraces overly complex development tools and processes. It's as far from "one click build" as one could ever imagine. The team is split in 2 countries with ours being the new group. One of the other recent hires is as lost as me (he's more on top of the tools but has no objectives!), so at least I know it's not just me. But I've got life stressors going on now too, so that certainly contributes.

Therein lies Sam Altman's biggest fear: regulatory crackdown or restrictions on OpenAI. At this point the government presents the only risk to the progress and success of OpenAI.

Sure there are competitors like Google but so far OpenAI is the leader and doesn't seem to be slowing down. The market could evolve into a natural duopoly, especially given the huge capital expenditures and technical know-how required to stand up and maintain a cutting edge LLM like GPT-4.

Once GPT-4/chatGPT reaches a certain tipping point for disruption, and public sentiment turns from curiosity to fear, the resulting backlash and scrutiny could be on the level of Microsoft's antitrust case in the 1990s. If I were Sam, I'd be pouring resources and money into DC to try to get ahead of this coming storm.
Simpler and better light, but bad energy efficiency.

Although, as was pointed out to me at some point, because LEDs are more efficient, people feel less guilty about having more of them; replacing 1x40 watt bulb with 8x5 watt LEDs means the net result is the same. I've got like 7 cute LED spotlights in my TV closet for example, I wouldn't have had that setup if I was forced to use incandescent lamps.

I've had plenty fail, stuff from the grocery store, Home Depot, Lowes. Actually the fan-size bulbs I ordered from Amazon were the worst ones, which I expected since it was almost the cheapest. Interestingly, the generic ones I got from a state-sponsored efficiency program have been the best.

But the ones that didn't fail have been fine, and lasted for years. Like CPUs, the yields aren't good but the ones that pass give good service for a long time.

It wasn't if you wanted a good amount of light without having kW heater over your head.
For me it's like if the sound on your computer was either on or off. I adjust the light to the specific task, time of day, my mood & energy level, and what the natural light is doing to the room which also varies by season, time and weather.

I'm really miserable in a too-bright room. I have some sensory processing issues which contributes a lot to this admittedly, but when I talk about it with people who don't they often understand it immediately or admit to experiencing the same thing, though to a smaller extent.
The registration to local administration has to do with taxes, voting, social security stuff, etc. Isn’t it the case everywhere? I lived in 3 different countries across Europe and Asia (and in Germany since a while now) and that has always been something I had to do. I’m not sure how else your local administration can do its job without knowing who live there.

In failure engineering this is called the "bathtub curve." Those early failures are called "infant mortality" and are typically due to errors in the factory. In 20-30 years you'll get wear out failures, as the components hit the end of thier designed lifespans. Generally in manufacturing any new product/process has a pretty high infant mortality rate which then gets worked out over years of improvements to design and manufacturing process. You can either do factory testing (probably what high quality LED brands are doing) or just ship the product and let the customer handle it.
Check out this example from the docs to see how to take a URL as argument and then pass content to the LLM: https://www.askmarvin.ai/guide/concepts/ai_functions/#sugges...

(The previous example is also good)

A few things you could consider:

1. We have a utility for getting content out of HTML at marvin.utilities.strings.html_to_content. That would probably significantly compress it.

2. Chunk the HTML into batches that fit in context, send each over with an AI function that summarizes it (you could instruct the AI function to optimize the summary to help with title generation), then send all the resulting summaries to a title generator

3. We have a suite of HTML loader classes that will probably be ready for production in a couple releases (see https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin/blob/main/src/marvin/loa...) but you could try them out now (note: these use parts of Marvin beyond just AI functions, so I'm not recommending it as a drop-in right now). Our loader classes are (ideally) designed to do more than just chunk the input; depending on the nature of the input we do different preprocessing steps to help with insight.

4. Experiment and let us know what you learn - we can incorporate it into a loader class if its effective
So looking at the history of (West) Germany post WW2 with the country entering NATO, significant US military presence and essentially being the border country to the Soviet block, I think it's reasonable that there is a veritable historical root for a significant US intelligence agency influence on the structure of Germany's intelligence service as well as lenient laws towards US intelligence services operating within Germany.

Not really surprising given the Cold War history in my book.

I also think it's credible that some of these close ties were kept way past "expiration", who likes to give up privileges, esp. as an intelligence service.

As a matter of fact though, looking at the long list of intelligence service scandals, there has been more and more light shed on these tricks by parliament and a free press since the 2010s [0].

Also, there was a law past in 2016 after the NSA revelations increasing control and limiting capabilities of the BND [1].

So while going back 30+ years I am inclined to go with your statement, I can't find objective evidence, hints, whatsoever, that this is still true.

With all that being said, as a German citizen, I'd much rather be allied with US intelligence services than Chinese or Russian ones.

Yes, it's a dragnet, yes it's a hassle to protect your privacy effectively, yes intelligence services are no lambs and always play by the books.

But let's not kid ourselves, both Germany and the US are pretty free countries for their citizens?
