These threads about public pooping and open drug use show that a lot of people seem to equate their feelings of discomfort with feelings of danger. Just because something is upsetting to see doesn't mean it's dangerous. I've seen people relieving themselves on the sidewalk and have never once thought that they were a danger to me or my family. It's gross, but seeing gross things never injured anyone.
Because that's the best for the environment. If you are only focused on the money then that's fine but in the end that is what got us in this mess. So I propose that instead we look at what's best rather than at what makes companies the most profit for a change.

MockShop generates GraphQL queries based on text prompts
Mock Shop is a free e-commerce API that enables you to build fake stores for testing and learning. It generates GraphQL queries that provide real-world test data, such as sample products and carts, for your online fake shops. It also provides an AI feature that generates GraphQL queries based on text prompts.

I'm extremely excited to try these models but they are by far the most difficult experience I've ever had trying to do basic inference.
They behave this way because they are so tight on GPU capacity given incredible demand. Getting a GPU instance on GCP is as miserable of an experience.

Try Lambda Labs, there's usually more availability, and more importantly you get some visibility into currently available capacity.
You seem to be assuming bad faith. And then seize on anything you object to as a gotcha to disregard everything else.

That's a dishonest and unproductive approach to conversation. So I'm not going to bother with you for much longer.

But I'll address the point you objected to. In 2020, a whole infrastructure was created across multiple organizations to fight misinformation. Their method was to pick topics, create fact checks, and then proactively hunt down and block misinformation and those who posted it. The existence of this infrastructure and its intended goals can be confirmed from a variety of sources, across the political spectrum.

As soon as it was created, it became a natural target for anyone who wished to manipulate things for political purposes. And it was quickly so used. For example see https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/the-lab-leak-theory-... for how Peter Damask managed to use it to suppress the lab leak story for about a year.

Now, as you'll undoubtably agree, Trump is a propaganda machine for whom lying is as natural as breathing. As a result the fact checking machine developed a knee-jerk response of fighting back against anything Trump had to say. But a stopped clock is still right 2x a day. And when Trump was actually right (eg kids don't spread COVID, Hunter Biden's laptop), the fact checking engine still classified his claims as misinformation, and still worked to suppress it.

But the problem is that when you tell people something that they can verify to be a lie, they will see EVERYTHING you see as a potential lie. And now it doesn't matter how often you tell them that X is a lie - they won't believe you. Which becomes a real problem when X actually is a lie.

Which brings us to our current situation. Somewhere around 40% of the USA currently believes that the 2020 election was stolen, and also have learned to distrust all of the news sources that could properly inform them. Obviously primary responsibility for this situation rests with Trump. But he wouldn't have succeeded so well without actions taken by groups including social media and mainstream media organizations that made his lies seem more plausible to his target audience. And it is those actions that I object to - exactly because they have helped fuel a politics-over-truth narrative on BOTH sides that I fear will lead to a really bad outcome in the end.
That matches my experience as well. I just think we need to be resistant to reading too much into "I've seen bad code that X", because that can easily be true of almost any X.

So your new formulation of Occam's Razor is that the most probable thing is likely true, unless that thing is the possibility that a tastelessly edgy 21 year old 4chan gun nut who yells racist and antisemitic slurs and a military security clearance just so happens to have uncovered a massive FBI (note: not military) conspiracy to murder blacks in order to increase their funding, in which case we should hear them out and not use hurtful language like 'baseless'.

Throw $100K cash every 5 years to a woman who stays married to her partner. Or possibly increase it every 5 years she's married to the same partner. Throw in an extra $100K every 5 years per child until child is 20.

I do like that idea. If the company is not going to show what the recommendation algorithm is, then being legally forced to provide an option to turn it off seems fair.

none of those things are analogous to Tailscale having done loads of hard work to automate NAT busting.

magicsock definitely does a bunch more work, and we do look at both profiles. The magicsock profile is harder to read as a consequence of being a more complex path, adding packet filters, the indirection for DERP and other NAT busting details, etc. Jordan did do some optimizations in the magicsock path alongside this wireguard-go work to get us over the 10gbps line.

Overall the summary of time spent is still a similar story at the coarse scale - our recent optimizations mean that we're getting ever closer to the point where we need to start working on the next layer, such as optimizing the queues (visible here in the chanrecv and scheduler times - Go runtime stuff), and once we get that out of the way things like crypto and copying will become targets. The work goes on, we have lots of plans and ideas!
Do you happen to have a link? That sounds like an interesting read.
I have my own. And the numbers are pretty much in line with my comments upthread: up to my own consumption net metering helps to keep things balanced, my own consumption is 1/3rd of what it was before going all in on renewables and the excess part doesn't move the needle so now I will install an air/air heatpump to create even more of an offset.

I'm trying to get to completely neutral before the end of next year but in the winter this is going to be hard, especially without net metering.
UBI in itself won't help anything without many other changes. I've run the numbers many times: there simply isn't anywhere near the amount of wealth needed.

In order to help people we need to find ways to drastically cut costs on housing. First start with the land: there's more acres of land in CA than people. the problem is just we're not allowed to build anything, anywhere. Secondly, we need to remove all the regulatory roadblocks that prevent markets from solving the housing crisis. if 3rd world countries can afford to build housing, we should be at least be able to do so as well.
It isn't just the nature of rail travel that has changed. The internet has changed travel forever; as mentioned in the article, Paul Theroux set out with only a few books to guide him, today he would have pictures of sites all along the planned route.

No doubt travel is still an enriching experience, but perhaps it affords fewer chances for adventure and discovery than it used to.

What percentage of what?

If you mean "What percentage of crimes are committed by," it's probably the second population. Probably. I'm actually pretty weak on that narrative right now.

If you mean "What percentage of the population described is committing violent crimes that should result in jail time," I'm even weaker on it. Because the homeless population is way, way larger than the tech-entrepreneur population, so by percentage of population I think it's a toss-up without hard numbers.

It doesn't take many dead executives on a yacht or strangled estranged wives to tilt the numbers when the population is small.
My optimistic take is that more time will be spent thinking about specification and validation. I also hope that code synthesis tools and verification becomes more common to use.

Consumer VPN industry is a shit show, especially in the last 3-5 years. The parasitic "VPN review" industry is making all the money, as the "big VPNs" are paying ridiculously high CPA rates (think gambling CPA rates of $50-$100). Most "review" sites rank VPNs based on a single metric - who pays the most. This is why vpnmentor (a review site) was acquired for more money than PrivateInternetAccess (a "major VPN). Hilariously, by the same company, Kape technologies which used used to make adware (as Crossrider), and then decided to go all in on "privacy".

Then there are influencers and Youtubers, all of them peddling VPNs of the highest bidder, reading off a script and making impossible / bullshit claims about capabilities of VPNs. This outright causes harm to the industry.

VPNs that don't participate in these BS schemes (or can't pay $100/signup, and wait for ROI 3 years later), have only 1 way to grow: word of mouth, based on the merits of the product. This is very difficult to do given the massive ad spend of the "big VPNs", and false advertising they engage in.

Don't even get me started on the consolidation.... https://blog.windscribe.com/consolidation-of-the-vpn-industr...
Why should anyone "compete" on mobile keyboards?

I used to have a couple third-party ones installed on my iPhone (Grammarly is one whose name I can remember)

Found myself having to constantly go back to the factory keyboard so I could actually type (keytap-to-screen lag on some was on the order of a second or more)

And some of those keyboards had ads

Or exported copies of what I was typing off my phone

No thank you
Why is it expected that you should be able to swap an internal component if you haven’t used a screwdriver before? Try swapping the brake pads in your car or fixing a blockage in your dishwasher and you’ll find that fixing the iPhone is comparatively quite easy.

Again, this confuses me. I was pointing out that the current rate of change is not obviously more rapid than about 100 years ago. If you are trying to provide a counterexample I think you've failed to establish one, and if you weren't I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, other than a generic "gee, the internet has come a long way in the last 30 years". I don't think anyone would claim it hasn't, but I don't get your point, I guess.

A prowling wolf, whose shaggy skin
(So strict the watch of dogs had been)
Hid little but his bones,
Once met a mastiff dog astray.
A prouder, fatter, sleeker Tray,
No human mortal owns.
Sir Wolf in famish'd plight,
Would fain have made a ration
Upon his fat relation;
But then he first must fight;
And well the dog seem'd able
To save from wolfish table
His carcass snug and tight.
So, then, in civil conversation
The wolf express'd his admiration
Of Tray's fine case. Said Tray, politely,
'Yourself, good sir, may be as sightly;
Quit but the woods, advised by me.
For all your fellows here, I see,
Are shabby wretches, lean and gaunt,
Belike to die of haggard want.
With such a pack, of course it follows,
One fights for every bit he swallows.
Come, then, with me, and share
On equal terms our princely fare.'
'But what with you
Has one to do?'
Inquires the wolf. 'Light work indeed,'
Replies the dog; 'you only need
To bark a little now and then,
To chase off duns and beggar men,
To fawn on friends that come or go forth,
Your master please, and so forth;
For which you have to eat
All sorts of well-cook'd meat -
Cold pullets, pigeons, savoury messes -
Besides unnumber'd fond caresses.'
The wolf, by force of appetite,
Accepts the terms outright,
Tears glistening in his eyes.
But faring on, he spies
A gall'd spot on the mastiff's neck.
'What's that?' he cries.
'O, nothing but a speck.'
'A speck?' 'Ay, ay; 'tis not enough to pain me;
Perhaps the collar's mark by which they chain me.'
'Chain! chain you! What! run you not, then,
Just where you please, and when?'
'Not always, sir; but what of that?'
'Enough for me, to spoil your fat!
It ought to be a precious price
Which could to servile chains entice;
For me, I'll shun them while I've wit.'
So ran Sir Wolf, and runneth yet.
