I wonder if there might be some asymmetry in how others perceived those online-only relationships? I think it's probably true that some manager might feel a person is more "the right one for this post" simply because they've had in person interactions, for example. Whilst those who, perhaps, find online or IRL engagements to have a similar worth might not perceive that there is an asymmetry for others.

Find you niche and none of that matters, I imagine.

It works well and saves a fair bit of space due to deduplication (which is filesystem-independent as it implements its own deduplication layer). It can get quite slow when backing up containers, e.g. a container with a 200GB root filesystem takes a bit more than 2 hours (PBS running in container on the same Proxmox host, backup from SAS array to single SATA drive). Backup of a group of 4 filesystems totalling 2.25TB containing mostly larger files (Peertube video storage, Nextcloud data directories and image archives) on the same installation takes about 4 hours so the time needed varies significantly with the characteristics of the data to be backup up.
The situational awareness of humans seems to be the problem here:

It's either "let's make everyone look at me by making a lot of noise" or
"nobody's looking, I'll ignore the speed limit"

Not arguing particulary in favor of AI here. I just happen to hate the perception of private vehicles as extension of one's individual freedom. The restrictions imposed on e.g. pedestrians caused by this thinking tend to be ignored.

Public transit for everyone, cars for goods, services and emergencies, that would be my utopia.

I know this is a fringe position.

Why do people watch tv or movies, or read and post comments on HN? There are very clearly better things to be doing with your time and life. In the end it makes someone feel good for however long.
I agree. There are cases where I appreciate this sort of thing, like when it's a child performing the search. When it's me doing it, I would prefer to not have sources artificially de-ranked because they're government-affiliated and/or propaganda. However, I could also see having some sort of visual indicator like Twitter used to use being useful. I don't always know in advance whether a particular source has a background conflict of interest I should be aware of...but it's still a bit of a slippery slope.
I've experimented with whisper. I don't know of a way to do commands without parsing dictation. Bottom line, the model has to pass 30 seconds of audio to my knowledge. So say if you're utterance is 5 seconds, you'll need 25 seconds of silence.

> The integration with Git is also very clunky since it's based on smudge/clean filters (that were really meant to update templates in your text files or change line endings, not download big files).

There is no better integration though, right? I'm implementing an alternate for Git LFS because i also don't like it - but my past research led me no where. Git just doesn't have good support for this and all we can to is smudge or batch smudge.

iirc there's some nuance/difference to how Git Annex achieves this problem space, but fundamentally i think everyone basically does the same thing. No?

If there's a better way i'd love to know, since i'm literally replacing/reimplementing Git LFS for my own pipeline.

It's so amazing to see how the tech community inspires and learns from one another. Laravel found inspiration from Rails. Then, seeing Bullet Train was inspired back from the Laravel ecosystem with Laravel Spark.

In the past, I was jealous of the Ruby ecosystem with an extremely large community (the grass is always greener on the other side?). And, thinking the JavaScript ecosystem was left behind, but now I am hopeful that the JavaScript ecosystem has finally caught up.

I can totally confirm Bullet Train is an inspiration for many SaaS Boilerplates. I was personally inspired by Bullet Train to build Nextless.js [1], a Next.js based SaaS Boilerplate, bringing SaaS starter kits in Next.js/React/JavaScript ecosystem.

They could have owned the handheld console market if they had just repeated what Sega and Sony did.

Basically: When the next gen comes out, use the latest tech to miniaturize and make portable the previous gen.

Gamegear for the most part was a Sega Master System. The PSP for the most part was a Playstation 1. Both were released during a time where there was too many limitations to really fully utilize that prior catalog (see: GameGear SMS converter, which was HUGE, limited memory for downloading games onto PSP, no legal path for importing your PS1 library into the PSP from physical disks).

Imagine the market share Microsoft would have if they made an Xbox One or before that Xbox 360 portable, which could play your existing library using cloud saves.

People are allowed to transfer money anonymously, vis-a-vis cash. Banks belonging to the Federal Reserve system are of course subject to a number of arbitrary regulations that are certainly debatable, but also not outside the realm of ordinary government regulation of interstate/international commerce.

Wholesale banning of anonymous money transfers would also, in my opinion, be a violation of 1st and 4th amendments. But banning encrypted speech & communication altogether (or compelling an open-access backdoor) is clearly a violation of 1st & 4th amendment.

I've had similar criticisms to nudging, that it's basically just the same as advertising exploiting human biases, and that it's not really conducive to insight and a better political culture. It is kind of paternalistic. However, most real-world applications of nudging I've seen were uncontroversially beneficial. As a typical example, markings on roads can be spaced and designed in ways that make drivers slow down in danger zones, thereby reducing accidents. I've been to a number of talks about nudging over the years and know people working in that area, and have never seen an example where the term was used for "shaping public opinions", let alone shaping political opinions.

"See the problem here is you're projecting your emotions and empathy onto my business. From a business perspective that's a bad thing to do.

What I've done is operate on data. My customers are faceless numbers, not people, and so long as they give me money I don't care about them.

What a lot of HN fails to realize is that the overwhelming majority of the world are suckers who will do whatever advertising convinces them to."

I'm admittedly taking some liberties here, but it grieves me that business is now pretty much "fuck you I've got mine, or I'll do whatever it takes to get it." There must be a better way.
You may not feel like that's what you're doing, but lines like

...are all very condescending and attempt to generalize your experience to infinity. They absolutely attempt to invalidate other people's experience—they're not even just saying "what you're saying is impossible"; they're outright saying "(unlike me, who's smarter and/or more experienced) you don't realize that the learning you claim to have gotten was crap."
> So this trick isn’t just a neat blog post, but empirically useful, and I’ll probably include it in prompts from now on for these kinds of problems…

Alernative take: this is a very classic problem used to illustrate this kind of System 1 inaccuracy, so by deliberately including words that increase the conditional probability of us looking at a text that includes discussion on System 1 inaccuracies, you have essentially narrowed down the search space for our dear stochastic parrot to those texts that do contain the right answer.

This sounds dismissive, but I don't mean it that way. I'm just saying that "think about human biases" may not be a universally useful cue, it may only work specifically when trying to get the model to look like a discussion on human biases, and the typical sample problems used to illustrate that.

I’ve often wondered how the Reddit cofounders feel about selling so early. At the time they cashed out, they made single digit millions. If they had held out, they would have made 100-1000x.

Edit: After googling, the short answer is they regret it. Both founders do mental gymnastics to try to manage their regret, but it's apparent they regret it. Sources below.

My personal takeaway is to try to hold on to some percentage even when selling out e.g. rolling over 30% of your shares into the new entity.

Animals do tell stories. Let's take a dog for example:

The dog is out in the wild, away from it's pack. Ever see your dog smell something, or find something it finds interesting? Often, they will rub on it, or roll around in it. They do that so they have a record they can take with them.

When said dog returns to their pack, their body holds these records. Their movements communicate their mood and the entire thing is a tale of the day.

Another example I had happen was my cat.

I would come home and the cat would want to get in the car. Then, if I got up to move, she would put a paw out, like "hold on a moment" and then she would inspect me everywhere, sniffing, looking at me, etc... The cat wanted my story! Where I went, was it the same strange animals and people, or different, when I last ate, and all sorts of stuff.

In the evenings, that same cat would come to me, want to cuddle up in the evening and would be near my face, so I tried the same thing and guess what? It's a damn solid story! I now can smell my cat, watch it's movements and get a good sense of it's activity for the day.

Back to the dogs. Having returned to the pack, the dog could tell the story of animals it encountered, possible food sources, enemies and other things by the scents it carried home to share with the others.

In my view, our biggest struggle understanding animals comes down to both how much they are like us, just in simpler form, and how we fail to see that due to our higher complexity taking us away from basics that make more sense than we know. And with some animals, they are just very different from us, whales, dolphins, octopus and the like.

All that said, I agree with you! Humility and an open mind are key to understanding animals better. Frankly, the same tools help us understand one another better.
They don't care about impartiality in anything, really. Certainly not since Greg Dyke left. The management has increasingly been stuffed with people who are openly Tory.

> It was changed to a license that is completely open except insofar as it blocked Amazon from profiting from it.

It didn’t just block Amazon, and even if it did, selectively blocking a single downstream commercial user would make it not open source.

The freedom of third-party competitive commercial downstream use is a guarantee against effective vendor lock in, and it is one of the important reasons to choose open source solutions.

Does that make it hard to monetize development of software by just rent-seeking in the “we don’t want to expend the effort to host our own things” SaaS market with a hosted implementation? Yes, but, too bad.
> For example, you can block a whole site from your search results - and it's an easy-to-find button directly in the search results, not hidden deep within some settings or done via a manually-installed extension.

I moved to Kagi for this feature. I think that if a search engine does not offer this kind of feature, it does not have the user experience as a priority.

This was after getting tired of using "!g" in all my DDG searches because the results were so bad (and with so many "junk" sites).
I was thinking about it. Problem is it will likely blow up the server requirements, which in turn will make the costs rise. Since there are no ads and no subscription, I would first need to think about adding some type of paid tier, I'm not sure how I feel about that.

A single user Mastodon instance takes an unreasonable amount of resources. I don't know if it's just because of Ruby (Gitlab has the same problem, so it might just be) or because everyone is wasting money on expensive servers, but an RSS feed on steroid shouldn't take this much RAM.

that's another problem entirely.

I am.not from US, I work for a rather large insurance company (> 12,000 employees) they invest in building because they need to have a capital reserve by the law.

Now if their buildings are worth less due to WFH, they will start buying other more valuable kinds of properties,with the consequence that prices will rise for everybody else.

you are not fighting the system by simply shifting where the money come from.

also: in my country usually people have between 21 and 28 paid holidays, paid sick leave and paid hourly permits. not exactly the worst end of the workers' rights spectrum.

WFH made people ask for less holidays, because they will use their absence from the office to fix issues that before required a day off or can actually go on holiday while also working a bit, if everyone is working from home, nobody actually checks if someone is working or not (ape shall not kill ape). if we don't use our holidays the company must pay for them (effectively paying those days double) so we are now required to use all the holidays and permits, no exceptions.

Meanwhile I am still fighting to get java 17 supported, we are stuck with 11 programmed like it is 8.

My job is exactly to bring people up to speed with modern technologies and am very well compensated for it, but with WFH the attention span has dropped dramatically.

Not my problem, honestly, but they don't understand the damages that are inflicting to their future self.
Many of these 1-star reviews mention that the AI is aware of their location, despite their having disallowed location sharing for the app. Is Snapchat violating this user setting? If so, shouldn’t Apple take action to stop them?
Amazon has a huge range of products for sale, and it is easy to get a feel for what works better there than not. At the end of the day all the reviews and UI doesn't matter as much as that it can actually ship for free and arrive in 1 or 2 days, and that returns are as easy as giving the item to a clerk at a store (no rewrapping or shipping fees needed). This is their only competitive advantage IMO.
