You don't have to use a SaaS, you can use a modern "note taking"++ tool like Obsidian (not affiliated, just a huge fan) or Logseq (FOSS). In both cases files are fully local, sync is optional (for Obsidian there's a paid service or you can just use Dropbox/GDrive/Git/etc.), and you get a ton of advanced features like complex search, smart references, etc.

For instance I use Obsidian for meeting notes, and with the help of a plugin I link all previous meeting notes on this topic/customer and can at a glance see the history I have with this subject. Furthermore, I also link the associated Jira ticket and the Jira ticket history matching the labels, again for history purposes. I also use the Excalidraw integration to get diagrams that I can embed in my notes. There's also a Kanban plugin, Map view plugin (e.g. if planning a trip), etc. etc. The sky is the limit!

Overall, I'd strongly recommend.
Yeah I've also had a similar experience with a school diary or as we called them homework journals. Though no boarding school experience.

Larger cars are more likely to get into a car accident in the first place [1]. While a smaller car may be less safe in the event of an accident [2], they may not necessarily be less safe overall.

This doesn't say much about "talent scarcity", it's more along the lines of how different managerial styles map to different talent "markets".

In reality, there is no talent scarcity, there's just poor management that has optimized for executive salaries and middle-managerial busy work. Paying your managers/executives more than your engineers, forcing wfo, open office plans, agile... all chase away top talent of which there is plenty. The shortage is actually of healthy, creative, non-toxic, fairly compensated work places. Deliver that and the talent is easy to hire and retain.

They didn't sell nearly enough shares.

They could have probably saved their business, at least in the short term, by selling more. Their shares outstanding barely increased even as the price rocketed unjustifiably higher on meme energy. I'm consistently amazed by the poor management by CFOs of companies not selling shares when their P/E or even P/S multiples are 100x+.

This is 100% free and exploitable money available to businesses, that quite clearly won't last into perpetuity. NVDA should be selling 10%+ of their share count into the market at this price. You can buyback the shares later when the price will, inevitably, and quite obviously materially fall. You could immediately put the money into a MMF yielding 5% rather than the current 1% earnings yield. There's just obvious, no brainer stuff here for many CFOs to take advantage of.

Looks like BBBY share count has declined materially over the past decade, which was quite surprising. Goes to show that buybacks mean nothing for shareholder returns until you sell. And the buyback itself is a disposal of cash on hand (or accrual of debt), so is price-neutral in the immediate term. Who wants to bet that BBBY would rather have the cash right about now?

I still use these protocols for embedded systems. There is almost always a CLI on a UART, so one should be able to transfer files.

Ymodem is simpler and smaller than Zmodem, but we've used both. I've used Zmodem at 921600 baud, but it needs fairly large buffers (for a UART) to work.

One of the big advantages is that TeraTerm for Windows exists, and supports xyzmodem. It means that I often don't have to write any host-side software for things like firmware update, and more important, don't have to touch Windows.
It sounds like it's weird and annoying to convert a value to a string. That's pretty damning. Did I misunderstand?
Chrome uses APIs from google.com, Edge/IE use APIs from bing.com. This amazing discovery was in headlines in 2010.

A more interesting blast from the past is the practice of capturing the search phrase in your browser sent to a competing search engine, and then noting the next visited page in your browser. This essentially captured the user's preferred link from your competitor's SERP (Search Engine Results Page), which led to legal challenges about search copying.
You could set up your own VPN and if it works great, if it doesn't that's life.

I think the question that's more important is how big of a target are you? If you/your company/your co-worker are all ultimately nobodies, then it probably doesn't matter.

If you have highly desirable state secrets or advanced tech, then from a technical perspective you're probably out of luck.

Your problem might not even be the connection, but the device connecting.

Chinese (PRC) people will almost all have WeChat on their phone. It's not hard to imagine keeping a list of all Chinese citizens in the US who come back to china, catch messages that say "I have to work for several hours" and launch a targeted attack with Pegasus like software.

A border agent could say "your data or else."

If you buy an iPhone in China, that data, like complete backups, is probably open to the Chinese government probably unencrypted. I am not sure what happens when a person who bought an iPhone outside of china and brings it to china, or who sets their locality to PRC.

A password vault could be compelled to be opened.

So to answer your question, first we have to understand what you have of value and what your threat model is.

From an ultra paranoid perspective, no physical device with privileges should enter China and even the employees personal devices shouldn't have anything company related like 2fac codes.

From a completely practical perspective, connecting to a vpn on a laptop while tethering through a "state approved" vpn is probably fine.

I think most valley companies would give completely new devices for e-mail and meetings and maybe local development, but completely restrict prod access, then destroy those devices when the employee comes back, but maybe I misremember.
They weren't turning a profit on the individual cars, which cost them a ton of money, and now they are trying to make higher margin SUVs and Trucks. They wouldn't have sold any if they had to sell for a profit. Tesla would have destroyed them.

They could have probably reduced the costs with higher volumes and bumped up their margins but they would have been fighting an uphill battle. Especially since their competitor is a massively capitalized and quickly maturing Model 3. Not to mention the freaking dealerships sucking the life out of their customers. I'm pretty sure the recalls didn't help either.

Ford has already done the same with all their passenger cars and is making a lot of money as a result. It's a shame because it's costing on the externalities like pedestrian deaths and road wear.
Yep, a few people have mentioned this to me here and on Reddit. I didn't know about the issues with the approach I proposed, so was pleased to read the comments. Will add a correction to the post as soon as I have a sec, thanks.
Most of the world already has a "interaction between a natural person and the government is subject to formal identification with government-issued documentation", the US could indeed go that route if they wanted. Nobody could feasibly ban private anonymous communication, though.

I think you might find the appeals court decision interesting. They look at other impacts of blocking.

One thing they consider is that the blocked constituents can view public pages on Facebook, but not public profiles on Twitter.

But they consider that blocked constituents can't reply.
We need some things:

1) laws that enshrine the right of owners/users to circumvent bullshit like this (a right to digital self defense) and that prevent corporations from making it unreasonably difficult to do so.

2) a healthy community of hackers building the kind of contraception we need to protect ourselves from bullshit like this. I don't know what that is when it comes to an SoC, but we need it.

We can't rely on the companies not to do these thing (in fact you can set your watch by it), so we should just focus on protecting the right to route around it.
I don't know if we’re arguing semantics or what at this point but it’s not a backdoor if it’s advertised as part of the product that consumers pay for. It’s just a product feature that needs to be secure like any other—frontdoor. If you’re not comfortable with that feature then don’t buy the car. But don’t go spewing certifiable nonsense about how Tesla backdoors your car and steals your personal data for profit. There is nothing in their terms or privacy policy that indicates this is happening, and data collection that could expose PII is opt in. Like research the product before making crazy claims…

It would help me understand your concern if you pointed to the data collection and use thereof that you consider unacceptable.

The way I see it, you’re essentially uncomfortable with Tesla being able to update the software on your system (which is also opt in BTW). Do you feel this way about all products that auto-update?
The two biggest ones imo were not mentioned:

1. Contrary to popular belief, Postgres isn't fully ACID (specifically the "I") with the default isolation mode. For example, selecting the sum of a column then inserting conditionally on that creates a race condition. Serializable mode is fully isolated, but it has many caveats and shouldn't be used often, so you should instead become familiar with what's isolated and what isn't. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/transaction-iso.html

2. timestamp (without time zone) is bad; always use timestamptz, no exceptions. Unintuitively, timestamp (without time zone) is the one that makes your DB's time zone affect your selected data. Neither one actually stores a time zone, it's just a difference in output formatting. This is a moot point if your DB's locale is set to UTC, but that's not the default.
Indeed, and this project is a way of fixing the "it goes off at night" problem by making all the other problems massively harder.
Nope! I'm not trying to suggest the LLM legitimately understands my query from a conceptual perspective via that question.

What I am doing in that prompt is ensuring the LLM can follow the instructions. I specifically ask it to write "yes" if it does. If it can't do that part, then I don't want it to even generate code or try to analyze my data.

Hence why I treat it as an assertion failure if it can't follow that instruction, and thus exit the app.

Thanks for reading the code + for the very thoughtful question.

> But I don't agree we're all going to die. It's not a human extinction type problem. There will still be habitable places and some places will become more habitable (the Russians even had a crazy plan in the 60s to dam the Bering strait and melt the Arctic with nukes to make Siberia more habitable.... :X )

It is a "human extinction type problem" (and likely most if not all life on Earth) … not necessarily directly killed by the climate itself, but by the way that stressed out stupid "people in power" react to the stresses brought on by that changing climate. We have entirely too many literally insane people in positions of power commanding weaponry that could conceivably wipe out all of humanity (and much if not all of the other life on this planet), and we're doing very little to rein them in or control them. Feels like a very real danger to me.
This isn't an endorsement for Notion, I also dislike it and use other tools. I can see why some do however, it's a solid second brain organizational tool, somewhere to place things "long term" and keep them. It's a less "active" tool, which is also why for some people I think Notion is the wrong solution but for others works great. Think: internal team documents in one central place (less active) vs updating your app's documentation multiple times an hour (more active), the latter of which is not what Notion is good for at all. Also I will say, with their API you can technically hook up whatever databases you have within Notion for use, so it can easily become a place to store your blog notes and use them without copying/pasting. But again, blog notes are rarely changing so you see the pattern here I hope.

I also don't get the notion template hype on gumroad/etsy/producthunt/etc. You can create them yourself within seconds, but that's the nature of the "productivity industry", you get big bucks for the mere idea that your product will make their life easier/faster.

This doesn't seem particularly shocking. What I'm surprised by is that Edge wouldn't have been reporting the full browsing history already (with the settings you get when just clicking through every dialogue box at first startup), and only started doing so with this feature. At least the privacy policy [0] suggests the former:

> Depending on your settings, this browsing history is sent to Microsoft, which helps us find and fix problems and improve our products and services for all users.

So is the news that they're doing this even when the "Help improve Microsoft products by sending optional diagnostic data about how you use the browser, websites you visit, and crash reports" option is off? That'd be unfortunate. Or is the news that it's sent to a Bing domain rather than a Microsoft domain? That is just stupid reporting.

It's a mistery to me why Microsoft does not do the simple and obvious thing to siphon of a gazillion users from Google:

Just offer a simple clean interface to Bing + ChatGPT.

Without all the visual clutter and dark patterns.

Why do they keep the foot on the break by adding all that nonsense to their search engine?

Google is bringing in $160 Billion a year with their clean search result pages.

Why does Microsoft think they need to play clumsy tricks and add stuff on top of the search results to make a buck?

I see more users coming to my sites via DuckDuckGo - which searches via Bing - than via Bing itself. And that while Bing is the default search engine on the majority of new desktops and laptops out there. And the default search engine on many new tablets. Plus they have ChatGPT integration. It's just ming boggling how Microsoft wastes all that power with a bad UI.

You are correct.

If we ignore trades between investors, then people buy stock, receive dividends, and one day the company goes out of business. (Nothing lasts forever.) The dividends have to exceed the purchase price (accounting for an acceptable rate of return) to justify the purchase.

Without dividends, stocks are a zero-sum game where someone has to lose a dollar for every dollar someone else gains.

If a stock will never earn dividends, and the company will never buy it back, then it is worthless.
Why?

Sure, but you probably remember division.

"I can't remember of n % 2 returns 0 or 1 on even, so in place of that I wrote (if ((n/2)* 2 == n) for even, assuming integral division"
But their point is that it looks like accidental behavior? That is, it’s doing this in way more instances than the intent is with this new feature that is enabled by default?

Absolutely, you have to localize or internationalize cultural products. Culture export mostly does the later, relying on the fact that colonialism and international consumer capitalism have created a veneer of "common" culture across many geographies.

I mean that from a physical standpoint it's easier to export these things. This because they can largely be exported without a great deal of material or persons moving across borders. For obvious reasons, it's easier to export a purse than a house.

Also, from a legal perspective it is easier. Cars are a great example of this. Car companies have had to expend an enormous amount of effort and money for even just the opportunity to build cars in another country, much less wholly import them there.

I'm not claiming to be "one of the absolutely most valuable and greatest tools available" though. (Well, maybe the "greatest tool" part ;-) And if someone else claimed that about me, I'd think that either there was something very wrong with them, or that one of my parents had started using alt accounts I didn't know about.

Considering some of the software tools that do have dedicated wikipedia pages and subreddits, and that I'd never heard of godbolt before, I don't think it's out of line to be skeptical of such a hyperbolic claim.

One of the interesting things in this article is how OKRs are great for a "Pareto-distribution" culture, where performance can be measured across employees, but not a "linchpin" culture, where employees are exceptionally good at a small handful of things and not necessarily great at doing whatever the company needs. I've frequently seen those two types of cultures clash at the seams between technology and business.
