Not OP, but… I don’t consider myself a “power user”, but as it turns out, I use search for nearly everything: reviews, code snippets, spelling, cafes, stores, apps, news, products, files… But, perhaps, the most common type of search is when you read a text or hear something and think: “Hey, what’s that?”

And so I easily make 50–100 searches per day when I don’t even feel I’m actively searching for anything. And if I'm in a research mode, the count goes beyond that.

I noticed that only after I’ve subscribed to Kagi. After realising that I’ll burn throw the plan’s allowance very quickly, I tried doing most of my “dumb” searches via Google, and more important stuff — via Kagi. But that introduces a cognitive load, and kills the point of using a paid search engine.

Perhaps, I should switch to the $25 plan, but I can’t justify paying $250–$300 annually for a search engine, even though I have nothing against the idea of paying for one. Unfortunately, it’s too much for me. Nevertheless, I’m rooting for Kagi because it ticks all the boxes for me, and provides value. I hope that operational costs go down, and more people could use it.

Most college degrees are awarded by state universities. The price of typical college education is set by political process, not by the market. If college is expensive, it's expensive because making it affordable is not a priority for those who vote.
What specific policy change do you have in mind? The direct subsidies are pretty small and almost none of them come from the US.

It's not engineering. Engineering is when you use a set of tools to design and create something in one attempt, i.e. without trying first many different approaches that lead nowhere, and also without being satisfied with a different outcome than you set out to obtain.
What exactly is so wrong with macOS? It's unix at the end of the day...
This is a false equivalency.

The demand for higher education has outstripped the supply of students capable of making real use of it, and so standards have been lowered. The value of the education provided — and the value of the degree received — has dropped precipitously.

Up until the 50s/60s, education past the 12 grade was the exception, not the rule. A degree was valuable because not everyone had the capacity to attain it.
Each item type had its area in a database with x_start, x_end, y_start, y_end and weight.
These areas could overlap though. I had an error function that picked the most likely option: https://gitlab.com/nielsole/logistics-board/-/blob/master/se...

Manually adding areas for all items would not have been feasible(>100 different product types with sometimes multiple SKUs from different brand for the same product type), so my idea was to add a hand-scanner and when a barcode gets scanned, it checks if it knows the product. If it doesn't, it would tell you to put it in a special weighing position. After wheighing it would light up all the boards in accordance of how well the item could be placed there. This could have taken into account the total weight of the board and the likelihood for the item weight to be mistaken for another product already on the shelf.

In the end I gave up before getting these usability improvements in.
If people are willing to pay them for the value they bring, then no wonder they're marketing themselves that way. If it's effective and their goal is increased renumeration then they're smart people.
Personally I think macOS sucks as a dev environment. If you switch to mac you should immediately use brew to install coreutils that don't suck. The bash they ship was built in 2007 (run `bash --version` and see; though they use zsh by default now), and their coreutils don't support any of the useful gnu extensions (try `grep -E` for example). Personally, I never saw why so many of my peers thought macOS was all that great, it seems like Apple doesn't really give a shit about developers who use their machines.

Plus, as other users have said, docker sucks on mac. Even windows is better (WSL can use memory ballooning so you don't have to dedicate a chunk of RAM to docker, the vm takes care of it)

Also I hear good things about ARM from a performance and battery/heat standpoint, but so much software out there is still designed around x86 arch that I don't want to switch.

It's not always about lives saved. In the scenario that backup cameras help prevent, the vehicle isn't going very fast. And kids are small. That doesn't mean kids don't get seriously injured as a result. I've known three people that have been backed over, myself included (and that's just the ones I know; I don't survey everyone I meet). Minor injuries for two of them, very-much-not-minor injuries to myself that I deal with decades later.

It's really hard to meaningfully evaluate college new grad resumes en masse. They all have the same useless class projects and an impossible-to-judge GPA.

Unless you spend an hour doing a tech screen for each person, they just all look identical. I don't endorse a strict filter, but I understand why people do it. Top colleges filter for something meaningful for entrance criteria, and it's easy to take advantage of their filtering.
Not massively advertising low cost options and not having any at all are wildly different things.

Of course companies push the items with the highest margins. They want to make money after all, but they still have plenty of options in the sub 600 category that will last 5+ years under normal use without issue. There's obviously a market for low priced laptops, otherwise so many companies wouldn't build them. And it doesn't hurt Intel. If the choice for them is to sell a low margin CPU or none at all, they're gonna sell the low margin CPU.

I find this to be a slightly weird argument. Med school degrees do have varying levels of quality. Moreover, in the US, you cannot be licensed without residency -- residency is practicing under supervision, essentially a skills-based set of active tests. Then after the residency program many physicians go for board certification, which is additional study and tests (run by a professional cabal that makes a ton of money off of questions about beaver fever, for instance).

Well, anyhow, you already do require skills-based assessment if you are seeing licensed physicians in the US. They don't let ppl practice with only book learning.

We have a media Mac and my kids have (need) iPhones, because of Apple's iMessage discrimination. It drives me crazy dealing with iCloud and Apple's 2FA and on and on, and package management is still as best I can tell a mess. As much as the hw is beautiful and performant I cannot stand the thought of having to live under Apple's software regime.

With Linux, if you are having wifi issues, you are almost certainly running the wrong distro.

I have run Fedora on dozens of Thinkpad models over the last 15 years. All the hw things work OOB now. Several Thinkpad models ship with Fedora as well too. It really all just works at this point.

>Would Spam stop if people stopped responding to it?

I don't ever intend to respond to spam, and have become extremely adept at spotting the patterns and swatting it away. However, it becomes a game of chance, when a service like Outlook puts it right at the top of the app (both iOS and Android) where you would reflexively jab at it, unless of course, you pay the premium to remove it.

For now, I have found a way to stop this nuisance. However, MS are playing fast and loose with their policies and now very legitimate looking spam is leaking into the inbox, escaping any filters. Since last year it is appearing along with the glaringly obvious Unicode riddled ones, with increasing regularity. It seems like a matter of time and co-incidence, where you would end up interacting with a piece of disguised mail you were expecting e.g. an order from Amazon or a service which you use regularly, and possibly respond without checking the header.

This recent episode was probably the worst experience, albeit not the first time it has happened.

>We did fine for a century without any of that.

That's completely wrong. As phd514's comment accurately alludes, every single person who came through Ellis Island

* was a legal immigrant

* had passed a medical inspection

* had proof of having enough resources to pay for their upkeep in the US, or a US financial sponsor guaranteeing same

* was turned away if failing any of the above tests, with no possibility of appeal

I, for one, am very much in favor of reinstating such barriers to entering the US.

PS - One more thing: Every single person who came through Ellis Island was coming to a country with an enormous demand for unskilled labor. This is no longer true.

If buildings were required by code to have a more "fume hood"-like setup for capturing exhaust (with supply and return paths maintaining flow) then it would lead to better indoor air quality. As a bonus this is even a good idea anyway for electric stoves since it keeps any smells and smoke from leaving the kitchen area.

>SVB was only guilty of being small

No, SVB was guilty of having extremely coordinated risk: All their depositors had basically identical risk profiles, being cash rich, profit seeking VC funded companies that could easily move that cash around and had the same cohort of friends and networking buddies that whatever one did, the others would be sure to follow.

They are also guilty of being straight up negligent with regards to hedging their risks in terms of interest rates changing, and didn't even diversify their treasury portfolio. It's insanely stupid, like first year econ level stuff. Most people understand the downside risk to locking up your money for several years the first time they learn about CDs.
Ironman here btw. I started playing Old School Runescape in 2018 in my 30s because of the swamp man. I fucking love this game.

I take frequent breaks from the grind, but I keep seeing a parallel with real life effort: nothing worthwhile is achievable unless you put your back and a LOT of time into it.

Like the meme says, Runescape players either are basement dwelling NEETs, or accomplished people with families, going to the gym every day. There's no in between.

Well the whole article gives me the feeling of exactly what the author detects in others calling themselves prompt engineers. "You're not prompt engineers, /I'm/ a prompt engineer" and then goes on to suggest blending prompt results and performing some basic calculations.

True "prompt engineering" is knowing how to get a desired output, reliably, from an input. How to do things like information extraction, inference, expansion, transformation, instruction, etc. But sure, we can zipper two outputs together and write tetchy gists too.
You're basically describing https://github.com/newhouseb/clownfish/, except there it tries to validate the output against JSON schema on the fly.
> Net worth goes from $0 to $1 million: Ecstasy. Net worth goes from $10 million to $1 million: Despondency. Can we agree that all wealth is relative?

Dunno, to me it looks more like people just want to have enough to not need to work 40 hours/week anymore. "Thrill" is probably about billionaires like Musk, not people getting towards a million in saving.

Trying to use a switching regulator for everything becomes a complete nightmare when you have to debug a circuit. You scope something that should be a square wave or similar and it has the switching frequency of the regulator superimposed upon it everywhere.
Nah, you can use it as a black box. If you are predicting credit rating scores from age and net worth and level of education attainment, you can shrink the error bars even more by throwing their DNA sequences into the model. It's good stuff!
Yes, the decentralized nature is killed in the last mile: UX/UI. You can use the best protocols but at the end is about who interacts with the users.
If this truly what you got from the article, and is not just bad faith soapboxing, it might be a good idea for you to work on reading things a little less quickly, and with a little more openness to receive something from a text that you don't already have your mind made up about.

Because I gotta tell yeah, whatever you want to believe, if you were one of my students and you were tasked with summarizing this article, you would probably fail the assignment.

AI can help generate text, but reading and comprehension is still something you need to care about as a human, especially if you are trying to help people save time and understand things! Its an honorable intention, but its still something you have to follow through with and do well. Otherwise you are doing more harm than good.

If you're interested, maybe a little direction:

1. What kinds of things does the author identify as "wasting time"?
2. Does the author think wasting time and play are bad things?
3. Does the author in this article think AI is bad?

When a lithium-ion battery catches fire, it can be very hard to extinguish and can burn very fiercely³. If a battery is going to catch fire, the likely cause is thermal runaway¹. This is when a battery experiences an increase in temperature that eventually leads to cell short-circuiting or disintegration that can spark a fire¹. There are three main abuse factors that can send a battery into thermal runaway — mechanical, thermal or electrical¹. The contents of the battery are under pressure, so if a metal fragment punctures a partition that keeps the components separate or the battery is punctured, the lithium reacts with water in the air vigorously, generating high heat and sometimes producing a fire².

What EVs would they be. At least in Europe all new EVs use CCS and most of the older ones used Type-2. They can all be charged from an ordinary 230 V, 10 A domestic supply; Schuko in Europe or BS1363 in the UK (and Ireland?).

Getting some 4 year degree does not equate to 'highly educated'. College is an extension of high school for most americans, who didn't learn much there either.
Websites are generally presumed open for business, not get-a-contract-first like a hotel room. A better analogy would be a shop front with an 'open' sign in the window.

An increasing numnber of shops on the street have locks that silently open if you look like the right kind of person, but lock if you don't look right.

And most people look right, so they don't even realise the lock is there.

Gmail's spam filtering has lots of monopoly hardening convenient limitations. Like the fact that sending out to or not-spamming a DKIM authenticated non-gmail sender once isn't sufficient to prevent their future DKIM authenticated messages from going to spam.

Of course, spammers have significantly moved to using gmail and it just streams right through.
I hope you're looking forward to eating soylent green in your cities, then.
Of course I've heard it. As you said, the odds are excellent that everyone reading this has heard it too.

Not sure how that's related to my point, though.
DynamicLand (Bret Victor's 50yr research project) uses a tuplespace model, except instead of basic pattern matching on content and type it uses a datalog-like query language (the wishes and claims of RealTalk).
You're correct, but this is one of the reasons the megacorps dominate this space; they have the resources to do that integration. In contrast, what would it look like for an independent operator to roll out or maintain such an ecosystem?
Exactly this. I enjoyed the technical aspects of running my own mail server. I hated having to constantly manage black lists and dealing with "postmasters" to get my email to be consistently delivered. Some spammer manages to hack a server on the same IP block as you equals trouble for months. I just couldn't justify the time spent and the non-delivery any longer.
Great stuff. I always admire efforts like archive.org, textfiles.com and yours just fits well into that theme. The nature of today's Internet is that things disappear all too easy due to a simple redesign decision, people no longer care about "Cool URIs Don't Change" rule by Tim Berners-Lee. It's refreshing to see work like this and hope it will survive forever.
Anecdotally speaking, all I can remember hearing drilled into me in the American school system as the path for life success was going to college. The implication was that you'd be a loser who worked flipping burgers at McDonalds for the rest of your life if you didn't go to college.

As far as the data you ask for, I'm all for doing that kind of research, but there's probably many variables that are hard to directly even start to compare and interpret.

For instance, consider the impact of countries that are overall poorer than the US. It might be the case that this incentivizes a lot more people in other countries to go to school to try and escape a bad living standard. Or it might be the case that they don't have the resources to get to school even if they were desperate to educate themselves as much as possible. Even if you had this data, interpreting it would seem to be really tough.

Or what about countries with more homogenous populations? Perhaps IQ tests provide more value to employers in the US with a significantly heterogenous population and are far less useful in countries where just about everybody has the same overall background.
I know he told us how already, but that would have left the background sharp, rather than always the same.
