I understand the metaphor you're making, and I'm saying it doesn't apply to being of service to others. Service is not calories in an organism or dollars in a corporation: the metaphor you're making is not relevant. The labor one can perform in the service of others is not bounded by some sort of conservation-of-value principle. If someone comes to me with a problem and I can solve it by taking some action, that's value produced essentially from nothing. And if other people want to do the same thing, we can produce value from nothing through labor together.

Sometimes there are other inputs, which aren't as "from nothing" such as car parts or oil. But skilled labor is still a necessary component, to turning those components into a working car that is more valuable than the parts or oil.

And sure, some of those "not from nothing" components are absolutely non-negotiable for survival, like people having to eat and be sheltered. But I think it's pretty clear that a skilled laborer like Henson is able to give more value from his labor than he consumes in food and board.

The corporate model you're shoving everything into assumes we have to put a dollar value on everything and that dollars in versus dollars out has to line up, but forcing a service-based charity into that model is an impediment to its effectiveness. The entire point is to give as much as you can, even if that means giving more than you take.

And that makes perfect sense, by itself, without having to represent it in a balance sheet. And the only way you can shoehorn it into a balance sheet is by ignoring the entire point.
> Does anybody know why this is the case?

Most of the time the answer to that is: because nobody cared enough or had time enough to implement it
Wouldn’t this automatically compromise all other apps on the phone?

Because if so, then any other online banking apps on the device aren’t safe. So just about equal security to any other mobile banking service.
This is somewhat related, but the reactors on an aircraft carrier can power a small city. In a way, the carrier is also portable.
Oh I see what you mean now. You don’t think that determining scripting capability is necessary for the redirect, you only care about it because it’s the purpose for the redirect in this case.

In that case I would completely reposition the argument: you shouldn’t do this at all, so it doesn’t matter how you redirect. It’s basically never the right move to try to sort your users into JavaScript and non-JavaScript and have two different pages for each.

<noscript> is an ancient design assuming that JavaScript is a binary enabled/disabled state, however this simply is not reflective of the real world. The vast majority of cases in which JavaScript does not execute will happen in the context of somebody using a browser with JavaScript enabled, so <noscript> can’t help you. You can use the latest version of the most popular browser, with all the settings enabled, no firewall or filtering, using a perfect Internet connect, no extensions getting in the way, with bug-free JavaScript delivered flawlessly, and still not have the JavaScript execute. And of course, if any of those factors vary, that can also lead to the JavaScript not executing.

If you want to handle this situation reliably, you need to build the page so that it works without JavaScript and then have the JavaScript that ends up executing progressively enhance the page.
Anecdotically, accounts whose speech I find valuable have not paid, and accounts with negative-value speech have.

Rationally, it makes some sense, as people willing to pay $8 for being published consider their publication to be worth -$8.

I agree though that verification (which is not what is done here) would be valuable. Not sure why they didn't go for a KYC.
Why is it so inconceivable to you that someone might just want to help others without expecting anything in return?
My impression has been that Stable Diffusion has outclassed the vast majority of digital artists from day one.

The only reason people feel otherwise is because when you look at human-made digital art online, you tend to only see the best of the best of the best. The one-in-a-thousand artists who make it to the DeviantArt or ArtStation frontpages.

But most artists aren't anywhere near as good as those few geniuses, and neither are they as good as what Stable Diffusion generates.

So my prediction is that 99% of digital artists are essentially obsolete today, and the remaining 1% will become obsolete some time in the next 3-5 years.
>If it's required to get a PIN because of floor limits etc, it will still ask for a PIN.

That doesn't happen with Apple Pay though, since it's an authenticated NFC payment. My (physical) Visa card has a 50€ contactless limit but with Apple Pay, I can just use it to the card's limits. I've paid for a 880€ MacBook with just tapping my Apple Watch against a reader.

Everything I'm wearing right now is knitted.

I guess clothing made for comfort is usually knitted instead of woven, so that it can stretch in any direction.
Interesting framework. My 2c is that some hobbies are harder to do (top left corner) than others. Many listed in the article, eg, hiking, photography, climbing, etc: you can’t just do it always. I find I enjoy making music at home since I can just sit down for any amount of minutes and engage.
Having competition doesn't stop a monopoly.

A monopoly is where there is a single player that has enough power to manipulate the market. Despite Bing existing, Google can manipulate traffic by altering its search results and due to it having 93% of the search share, it can manipulate it's position to direct people to one site over another or kill a site by no longer including it in results.
Wow, that was unnecessary. But sadly supports GP's conclusion rather than refute it. :(
I'm familiar with the term.

So far as I'm aware and some quick online checks suggest likewise[1], it largely came into widespread usage in the 20th century and tends to refer to either the Olttoman Empire or the post-WWI nation-states of the roughly from present day Turkey to Egypt to Iran. Wikipedia gives origin of the term to roughly 1855, at which point it would have referred to the Ottoman Empire, as opposed to India, China, the East Indies, and Indochina).

"Near East" has since largely been replace by "Middle East", though that term largely refers to the post World War Two states in the same region. The Wikipedia article noted here gives criticisms of the term largely along the lines I've suggested.

And I'm not aware of either term ("Near..." or "Middle...") being used to apply to the period from the 8th - 13th centuries, a/k/a the Islamic Golden Age.[2]

Sometimes you must `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` expensive queries in production, sadly. The behavior of postgres (even on non-bitwise copies) can be different under load.

The biggest way I have seen this be true is with fragmented tables/indexes - same data but organized more compactly can change planner behavior.

Article actually touches on another way that can be true - if your `work_mem` is drastically different the planner may prefer not to use an index, for example, and there are similar settings. Even with identical settings PG may choose different plans, it can be a bit tempermental in my experience, so sometimes you have to run the nonperformant query in offpeak production to understand performance.

I don't think anyone would argue that having the resources of large corporation gives the average worker capacity to be significantly more economically productive than they would be working for themselves - meaning there's fairly few people who could earn enough to make a decent living self-employed. Even if that weren't the case, we're social creatures and a big part of our motivation stems from our wanting to be seen as contributing towards shared goals and working as part of a team: when that motivation isn't there on a regular basis a good many of us aren't likely to work nearly as industriously as we would otherwise. So yes, it's not hard to believe a company that generally treats its workers poorly is still able to make them more economically productive than they would be solo - what's more dismaying is when they seem able to sustain higher levels of productivity from their workers than other businesses that do in fact treat their workers well, enabling them to offer more in remuneration and various other perks. But not necessarily hard to understand why it happens - the former may simply have chanced upon a better business model or got a lucky early foothold in a market and continues to do well based on that. How sustainable that is in the longer term is open to question.

The right way to think about whatever amount of money you get from this internship beyond groceries and rent is that you should put it into experiences. Like you might think coming away from the internship with $10K in savings is a ton of money, but really once you start working as an engineer, assuming you are good about living within your means, $10K is nothing.

New graduates start at $150K/yr at a decent sized tech company and can get up to $500K/yr by 30 as a staff level engineer. The $10K you made in your internship is irrelevant to your finances at that point, so you should think about investing it in experiences. Throw the epic party, go on an awesome trip with friends, etc.

It sounds like you have a good family and support system so you don't have to worry too much about financial ruin even if you go broke somehow, this is a huge advantage that you should use. You don't get any awards for not using every advantage you have.

Feel free to email me (email in profile) if you want, I could go on for days about advice I'd give myself at your age.
This is only going to make it easier people like crypto scammers to boost their activities. Just think about the people that are going to want to pay to have their voices prioritized, and have it be worth it.

Any influencer that wants to sell you ads, any organization that benefits from you buying into their product, any scammer that can trick you from parting with your money, all those people are going to want to pay for this and will be rewarded for doing so.

Meanwhile, I struggle to see why the people that generate actual good discourse (imo I guess), the scientists, the engineers, the writers, the thinkers, etc, would ever consider paying for this.

I'm sure there's a massive bot problem but couldn't that have been dealt in different ways? Getting people to pay to boost their tweets as a value add for the subscription really devalues the platform.
We have a democracy in various forms and of course I support people changing laws when there is broad consensus. My sense is that broad consensus is in favor of lawns in areas that currently require them by regulation, making “move” a reasonable option.

> By the 1940s this age-old parasite was mostly eradicated from homes and hotels in the developing world. But around 1995, the bedbug tides again turned. Infestations began flaring up with a vengeance. Pest managers and scientists aren’t sure what happened, exactly, but it may have been a combination of people traveling more and thus increasing their chances of encountering bedbugs in run down motels or infested apartments; of bedbugs bolstering their resistance to common pesticides; and of people simply letting their guard down against the now unfamiliar parasites.

I can’t help thinking that the housing crisis may have contributed to this. I can’t speak for the US, but in the UK rental apartments are not maintained and people are systematically evicted for asking repairs. Mattresses are used by tenant after tenant, with some Airbnb in the middle. People often are not allowed to replace mattresses and landlords can’t bother. Carpet stays there for generations, usually covered with another carpet when it becomes a health hazard.

Ha! It is a bit public safety focused right now. The first two I will really build out (read: pay people to help with) are license plate recognition and vehicle make/model/year identification. I think those have a decent market.

The firearms one is tricky and I'm not sure it will ever be licensed commercially since we don't own the footage that the images are taken from. Valuable dataset in terms of what it could provide though, like an early warning system for active shooters.

Some day I'll have enough free time and just make a billiards dataset to help me find shots.

Why is it necessary to do this? I get that having multiple implementations of a language is a good thing. But why does GCC in particular want to do it, and why with two separate efforts of different levels of ambition? Is it related to rust-in-kernel efforts? What stops using the normal rustc for that?
Future will show, but I believe you’re wrong about this. It’s still possible to create bots, but now, for a mere 8 USD, I can have it boosted to top, above legit human accounts.

USD I could have a verified bot army with 10000 accounts drowning out a lot of legitimate conversations. Or push advertising. Or I could go all the way and just use stolen credit cards.

> Get rid of those $$ at the start and end of any PL/pgSQL, it's just verbose and ugly.

The Postgres parser itself doesn't know the language rules and thus can not parse the source code. The body of the function/procedure is passed to the language handler as a string without Postgres looking at it. The procedural code (PL/pgSQL, PL/python, PL/perl, plv8, ...) will not be parsed until the function/procedure is actually executed.

Today there might be better ways to implement such a dynamic system to register new languages, but I guess it will be huge effort to change this to a way that would understand the old and the new syntax.

Since Postgres 14, at least "LANGUAGE SQL" functions/procedures can be written without using dollar quoting if the SQL/PSM syntax is used.

As far back as the year 2001, way before Git existed, a small startup I worked for used mandatory code review for all commits. You couldn't just upload whatever garbage and call it a day, it had to successfully compile and be reviewed by a randomly selected peer.

The problem is that the blue check has become a culture war so all the blue checks are aligned with Elon (either politically or in temperament) so the top replies to popular tweets are dominated by that tribe. The old way (whatever it was) wasn’t great but at least you got a mix. Not good for the product imo, it would be nice if he offered a setting to choose your ranking algo for tweet replies.

Maybe things will settle down though and blue checks will become more evenly distributed (or engagement will tank and he’ll roll this back)

It appears that a large part of OpenAI's success is the large volume of human feedback reinforcement learning that they've used to tune their models. The more feedback they get, the better the model becomes.

It's a bit like Tesla having an advantage developing self-driving AI models by having hundreds of thousands of their cars on the road ("the fleet") gather data about rare events for training the model.
> Apple Card was/is Apple's way to promote contactless EMV in the US

Apple Card, with fewer than 7mm users, was launched half a decade after Apple Pay [1][2]. Apple sells over 200mm iPhones a year here. Apple Card was not a way to promote contactless payment, it's a margin play.

So you added a generated boolean column that uses the value from a another boolean column? Sounds like a strange concept.

Did you try a filtered index using WHERE ... IS NOT NULL instead?

Or maybe an index on an expression coalesce(the_column, false) and then use that expression the where clause?

Any Experience with Zylo or Torri

Short list is zylo and torri.

Anyone experience with the above?
I did something similar. I spent my 20's and early 30's working as a furniture maker, I loved parts of it but financially it was difficult. When I was younger I spent whole summers coding for fun, all the friends I had at that time are now working at Google and Facebook while I am just getting started again.

I love making things and solving problems, and the medium isn't as important as I once thought. I wish I had realised this earlier and perhaps I would be further along in my career and financially more successful, but life doesn't work like that I guess. I feel like I've done things in reverse as I often read about software engineers romanticising woodwork.

It absolutely isn’t.

I don't know. I live in a city in Europe.

> Chip + Signature is a dumb USian thing because merchants didn't want to change their readers to have a secure PIN pad

Americans don't want to punch in a PIN. We have more cards per capita and are habituated to the convenience of a swipe. (Unlike much to the world, our fraud risk sits almost entirely on the merchant side.)

Contactless had no hope with a PIN. Merchants catered to that despite higher cost and risk.
