I use Firestore and it won't let your perform multi-field filter and order operations without an explicit index.

When you try to do so, it spits out an error that tells you this operation requires an index and then provides a link to create the specific index.

I know it is a different database paradigm, but I think this is great "UX" design.

Firebase has a bunch of additional great features in this vein. It allows definition of min/max instances for Functions and if you set the min instances in the code, it will force a confirmation of price changes to prevent any unexpected charges. (GitHub Actions will fail, for example, until the price increase is confirmed via CLI.)

So i get OP. Yes, it is the responsibility of the engineer to know these things and make decisions, but the vendor can provide much better UX around these constraints.
Everyone pays for free parking, not just non drivers.
We have a 10 year old Honda Odyssey that we keep just for long road trips and it has gone 3-4 months without being driven with no issues. I usually do try to fire it up every 1-2 months just to make sure the battery gets a charge and to avoid long term storage issues around oil and belts and other parts that degrade.
On the contrary, the extensions can be very useful and interesting. You do typically have to sacrifice something, like commutativity in the case of quaternions, but it will often be worth it.
The risk-calculus is diffferent. If an employee is going all in on a company, they need better risk compensation than a diversified VC that has an EV on their investments.
Sure, but the whole "problem" we were trying to solve was that zero doesn't interact with arithmetic operations the usual way.

Ah thanks. I obviously misread you, but alas that probably means many others would as well - particularly when the comment doesn't contain enough information to convey intent.
Yeah, good luck hiring anyone except fresh college grads with no experience at that compensation.
Go look at the UAE, its less then 5 billion for a 1.5GWe plant.

And that is when you produce 4 in a row, when you produce 50, it would actually be much cheaper.

But I know how anti nuclear people always have to look at 1 off builds to justify their position, and ignore evidence from mass builds such as France.

> If Germany had done what France had done in the 70s and 80s it would be in the same situation as France is today

Germany actually did proper maintenance on the plants it had and they had excellent uptime.

France is in this position because the anti nuclear government tried to phase out nuclear and they had so much nuclear that they failed to keep their plants up to date.

Anybody that denies that Germany would be vastly better off if they had followed France in the 70/80 is so blinded by hate that it's actually fucking sad.
Harbor Freight sells a $15 cheapie solar panel (with diode) that plugs straight in to a car's cigarette lighter that essentially 'solves' most parasitic drain problems, if you park outdoors, at least.

(Not all cars have ports that are live with the key off, but the panel has other ways to wire it)
Sorry, I meant "outlier" with respect to your views rather than "outsider".

There are many "insiders" that intellectually belong "outside" but that shy away from the consequences of expressing one's views, and what would happen after such a disclosure.

Even well-meaning groups like religious sects that want to "save" can have devastating effects on individuals. Recently, a shooter killed several members of
the Jehovah's witnesses at a meeting, probably because he was an ex-member,
and they are known to cut all social/communications ties with leavers.
Needless to say, if people are not mentally stable, being isolated by force can lead to disaster.

But usually, the most strongly worded views come from insecure people who are not that knowledgeable, whereas people who have deeply studied and compared are more gracious and see connections where others would like to create more divisions.
You're totally correct at the demographic level. Probably the best trend for tigers is the fact that India and China are getting richer and people will consequently be having fewer kids. It will result in less pressure on habitat and hopefully less demand for things like traditional Chinese medicine products made out of tigers.

I was mostly reacting to the hypocrisy of the kind of Western liberal who would crucify a trophy hunter online, but who flies all over the world for vacation and buys Shein hauls to post on TikTok. The personal consumption choices of rich people are still driving a lot of environmental degradation. Hating hunters is more of a liberal tribal shibboleth than a meaningful way to have impact on global biodiversity.

I can vouch for battery hookup, they even sell new/never used overstock sometimes. Pretty good way to build your own battery back up system, which has helped me a lot when we lost power here in quebec for 4 days last week.
For example, it only took 20 years (!!) to stop Ctrl+Q from quitting Firefox on Linux. :)

IIRC, a couple of patches did get submitted, but never accepted for unknown reasons.
I'm sure Google will soon release an AI product on par or better than what openai has. Money always finds its way to drive things. They are now figuring out how to integrate it with their current systems without jeopardising the current business model.
I've never been to a major city, especially NYC or SF, and thought "man this would be great if it was just a little denser."
This really wouldn't work for any car made in the last 20 years. Most of them have anti-theft systems that require you to put in a PIN to use your stereo if it ever gets disconnected from the battery. I suppose you could type that in every single time, but there are other computers like your automatic transmission management that learn how you drive, etc, and might not like to get reset every day.

Yeah, this is sort of the teleological view. I think Hanlon's razor is a great first guess when trying to figure out people's motivations, but this inverse is probably more appropriate when thinking about what your defenses/reactions should be.
These numbers seem optimistic, in that inflation probably makes them higher and there’s no discussion of medical insurance unless it’s folded into take home. If one assumes a monthly budget of 6k, this leaves 60-70k. Assuming saving for retirement > saving for house, that could consume as much as 30k (15% of income). Can’t rent retirement. Way less cash to save from.
Most CPAPs prescribed these days are Auto-PAPs that self calibrate as you sleep.

They often don't even do a titration study to figure out the right pressure range anymore. They just give it to you with a reasonable default setting, let the machine figure things out automatically, and tell you to come back in a month to check the logs to see if your apnea got better.
As someone who has just bootstrapped (or tried to) a lot of different ideas over the years, this sounds so ridiculous. If I have savings then I will use them and not give anything to investors. If investors want something then I should not have to continue being broke.

My very powerful GPT-4 based startup progress is currently kind of one hold all day today while I wait for someone to answer me in Slack about his $1k contract which he completely blew up the scope on this weekend and I am counting on to pay rent.
Lithium is at the top, so you get the most voltage per molecule.

Then there’s other factors like discharge recharge, temperatures, all that, but lithium is basically the best if you can get the other factors to play nice too:

I'd love to see them follow with full-blown package-level methods and fields at some point (as alluded to in the alternatives) but this seems like a great minimal change to address a real pain point with learning to code in Java.
How do you know the union workers wont get those benefits if a contract hasn’t been signed?
Meh. After reading both the linked page and this link[1] that someone else posted in this thread, I definitely agree with this take from the latter:

> After reading his article, it is safe to say that Horgan does not have the first clue about scientific skepticism. The result was a parade of straw men supported by cherry picked and often misinterpreted examples.

I don't see obnoxious counter-attacks, I see people correctly pointing out that he's wrong.

You want to witness the learning firsthand, I suppose. That's reasonable. I'd also suggest that it's possible to imagine questions for the LLM that it cannot solve today and that you reasonably believe will not be available to OpenAI to "hand tune" it against. If you can come up with such a problem, it can't solve it today, but does in the future then you have some evidence, I'd think.

What's more, is we can do that today. Just think of any problem which you suspect won't be included in OpenAI's hand-tunings and check both 3.5 and 4.
I'm assuming you're looking at some unimpressive cherry-picked numbers but in real world the performance is night and day. It's not mass psychosis -- give someone 2 identical Macs with the only difference being one is Intel and one is Apple silicon, they'll be able to tell the difference. Screen instantly turns on when you open it and gets you a fully functional desktop without you having to sit around while it loads things back into memory, apps start up faster, etc.
You should also look into low melting point soldering alloys, for desoldering work.
I think it is extremely important that medical devices are open, especially data, to prevent rent-seeking on the people who need them to live.

However, if I manufactured, say, an insulin pump, there is no way I would allow it to ship with user-configurable settings in a country as litigious as the US. CPAP seems less risky, but not worth chancing anything. The US market seems to be the primary target for many medical devices, the UK might be receiving CPAPs developed primarily for the US court system.
How would she join Apple but continue to work on Asahi Linux? That would be a pretty abrupt about-face for her or Apple, one or the other.
How many EV batteries are decommissioned each year, i.e., could be recycled? This company can handle 70,000 per year according to the article, but what is that number out of?

Side note about consumer lithium batteries: The nearest lithium recycling near me is 40 miles away, and it costs $$ to drop of your stuff. I can afford that, but I doubt most Americans properly dispose of their batteries. Heck, I have a neighbor who burns his trash near the road and one time saw him burning a few car batteries in the pile.

I didn't listen to it (I prefer reading) but yeah, if you're using typed languages, understanding some PLT can help quite a lot.

Any specific examples? I don't daily drive Linux but that sounds interesting.

Somewhat related, for Minecraft (Bedrock, C++) we compile with a ton of different tool chains and I really appreciate Clang versus MSVC for how strict the compiler can be (even with /-permissive).

Downshifting: Why people are quitting their corporate careers for craft jobs
I have a 2013 Mazda 3 and I've had to replace the battery every year for the past 3 years. I wonder if I have this exact same problem? I don't want to disable the wireless key system though because I like being able to lock/unlock the car without pulling the keys out of my pocket. Is there an alternative to this workaround?
Here's a word you should know (if you're not familiar with it already): contingent. The more commonly used definition is "dependent on", as in "my grade is contingent on good study habits", but it can also mean "subject to chance", as in "the number of deaths in the Romanian Revolution was contingent."
I don't necessarily mind the cap, but I am a little annoyed that it was 50 messages every 4 hours when I first began my subscription and they lowered it without so much as an email telling me.
According to Tom's Guide[1] Microsoft Edge beats out both when it comes to RAM utilization but Chrome just edges out Firefox when loading >10 tabs. That was in 2021. I'd be interested to see any other comparisons or benchmarks.

Lead can't really vaporize at any temperature used in soldering. There are other fumes (mostly from flux) to be worried about, and you have to make sure that solder leftovers are well disposed of (especially when desoldering). But lead free is definitely usable now, though I only use it for solder paste.
I'm really looking forward to being able to use a personalized LoRa on top of a GPT-4+ class model. I want to be able to train on all of may writing over the past few decades and interrogate the history of my ideas, and I think this would be tremendously valuable for writers of all kinds. Heck, think of the value of training (with their blessing) on something like /r/AskHistorians, or other deep-dive, high quality fora.
Not sure. You might still be able to access the camera, just not all of the photos on the device.
If you are going with a hack then _this_ is the way to go.
> You don't need to believe in God or in miracles to have any of that.

You don't actually know this, but you were raised in a culture where clairvoyance is considered acceptable so it doesn't seem weird.

Faith-based thinking seems to be a core part of the human experience.
The smoke you see while working with solder is from the flux, not the lead. Lead doesn't vaporize at the temperatures soldering exposes it to.

Just don't put the solder in your mouth and wash your hands.

Here is one stack exchange answer that seems well researched to me: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/19086

I also did a lot of googling on the subject recently when I decided I wanted to try out Stained glass, but wasn't sure what precautions I should take. I've come to the personal conclusion to not stress about the lead in solder.
I had a car that would drain its battery if you let it go a week or two without driving it. I just got a trickle charger and left it connected, problem solved.

Not really a great option to leave the hood up all the time if you park outside though.
In order for it to be the second you'd need to assume that at least some part of the critical reasoning of the LLM involves storing the data of the number in a single model activation. This is pretty unlikely, as models tend to store information across many activations simultaneously. I don't know this for a fact, you'd need to do brain surgery on GPT-4 and it'd be hard even in that case, but most studies of ANN processing would suggest that the null hypothesis is to assume that the information is widely distributed and not sigfig limited in that way.
I think what you're alluding to is the distinction between eudaimonic and hedonic wellbeing.
It's very different, but hard to distill in a comment. They use a new regularization technique to basically create a LoRA with dynamically adjustable rank.
I used to have a similar commute into NYC. I lived about a 10 minute walk from the train station and my office was another 10 minute walk from Grand Central Station. Round trip was about 4 hours. I did the commute about 3 days per week but saw tons of people on the train that did it every day. I saw a guy talking to the conductor saying it was his last time commuting after THIRTY YEARS. I imagine most of those people were driving to the train station and then taking another subway once they made it into the city, adding a considerable amount of time to the already brutal commute.

I only lasted a year before I went fully remote.
Finland where now green nuclear will be a very large part of their energy mix for the next 100 years? How sad ...

Again, anybody who looks at nuclear other then threw trying to prove its bad, will figure out that 1 off builds are expensive. Had Europe with German/French leadership agree on a single plant design and started building it all over Europe we could be building these plants in 5 years or less of build time.

France in the 70/80s managed to find locations. I turns out that local populations actually love their local nuclear power plants. People living close to nuclear are far more pro nuclear then anywhere else.

The promise of jobs, improvement in rail infrastructure and cheap electricity convinces more villages that it is a good idea then people would think.

France faced a lot of opposition to their plan in the 70/80s and yet they found lots of locations and the population there are the most pro nuclear people now.

Its funny how people always call for European cooperation but EU universally building the same nuclear plant 100+ times was not considered. There is no question that this could have been done at a very low unit cost price. If you build that many with the same work force, and supply chain the price drops massively.
And some jurisdictions will pass some “not ready” codes because a proper cycle may not happen for months.

A code reader really pays off sometimes to reset everything :)
Learning programming language theory and then putting it into practice by writing a compiler will 100%, without a doubt in my mind, make you a better software engineer. This is because you will have to put many complex systems into working and coordinated order to have a working compiler, even if you use something like LLVM. And you will get a better understanding of a fundamental aspect of computer science: modeling ideas into a language and then directly speaking that language.
It’s always weird when lawyers qualify their rhetoric using non-legalese to make their case stronger in the court of public opinion.
I've never read the "Bell Curve", and I'm not a huge fan of Charles Murray's work in general, but, from the first line in Wikpedia:

"The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life is a 1994 book by psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein and political scientist Charles Murray, in which the authors argue that human intelligence is substantially influenced by both inherited and environmental factors."

That statement completely contradicts what your claim about the book, and now I am disinclined to trust you.. Later on another statement also completely contradicts what you are saying:

"According to Herrnstein and Murray, the high heritability of IQ within races does not necessarily mean that the cause of differences between races is genetic. On the other hand, they discuss lines of evidence that have been used to support the thesis that the black-white gap is at least partly genetic, such as Spearman's hypothesis. They also discuss possible environmental explanations of the gap, such as the observed generational increases in IQ, for which they coin the term Flynn effect"
Ha, I didn't know it can differ.

You would think professors are smart enough that they would have created a salary comparison website where you can compare countries and universities by salaries and benefits, alas this has not been done.

Worse, as my wise (accountant) wife points out, "What do you get for all this peer reviewing work? Nothing! Just wasting our family weekend to make publishers rich!"

What I can say is in Europe, Ireland and Switzerland have rather good salaries for academics.
German professors mostly get the same prescribed salary from a table based on level (W2 or W3) and seniority:

But a thing "not known to be impossible" is not necessarily possible.
So far, parsing common crawl database at line speed, rewriting a lot of AWS Lambda functions, embedded systems upgrade scripts, few ESP32 deep embedded devices, REST API backends, custom key-value stores, custom TLS terminator, etc, etc. A lot of my other work is ancient PHP, SysAdmin stuff and performance troubleshooting.
130k is not a good software engineering salary. Period.

Region doesn't matter to me, the floor of cost of living never truly goes that low.

Sector? I build and deploy web or mobile apps, and I do as many parts of that as my team doesn't.

Experience is 10 years, including with Senior and Engineering Manager titles.

Besides the fact that I can make more than $130k by walking in the door across the market, I also believe I could generate a MRR that would return after-expenses revenue higher than that with a new business within 1 year. So I also don't see why I would take a moonshot on a poor salary, when I can aim lower, still have big upside, and avoid VCs stepping all over me
