The branch that complains about big tech censorship?
Ruby is Python minus white space mandates and having to try three times to get strings right. Also, backwards compatibility is not such a big deal. Of course, also minus the massive corporate support by the likes of Google.

Try it, it's very programmer-friendly.
Youtube knows what videos have promotional content. I'm seriously hoping for a search filter that natively removes them from results....plugins don't work for me since I watch primarily on a smart TV. For now I have resorted to blocking channels with promoted content, that's the great thing about yt, there's always another channel out there with similar content
You do it for...free?

OMG, you can't actually believe that?

I live in the UK. We have an independent nuclear deterrent that we buy off the US for billions. We have plastic fighter jets we buy from the US at over $100m a pop. We have every credit card payment taxed by Visa and Mastercard. We allow US companies to operate here tax free, destroying local business.

When I was a teenager in the 1990s we finally managed to pay the US for selling us WW2. The US took our gold and the rights built military bases on a bunch of strategic islands. They left us as a vassal state.

The US base their front line in the UK against Russia so we get wiped out first. We are a buffer zone for the US defence of itself against Russia.

The US protects Europe 'for free' in the same way that the UK 'protected' India 'for free'.

Your (rather common) attitude will be the eventual downfall of the US empire. Every time the US acts as the world's arsehole (like by electing a protectionist moron as president) it loses legitimaticy. You also find Europe starts buying gas from Russia and turning a blind eye to its military adventures. When it starts looking bad for the US they turn up like 'Team America', blow up our gas connections to Russia and magically find cheap gas to sell us instead.
How many charging stations are in a typical European city?

The point of this is that it can be introduced in any city, anywhere, without needing to wait for charging infrastructure to catch up.

> It makes things a lot faster and easier.

Why does it need to be faster and easier? I wrote about this in another reply [1], the difficulty of the trial and error process was what gave me the insight (I believe anyway). Obviously, not everyone's the same, so I don't expect my journey to map perfectly onto everybody else's, but there is definitely something to be said for the joy of finding out yourself.

I don't know first hand, nor am I speaking for my employer (who happens to be one of the two companies you mentioned), but if it was me, I would assume that if my company doesn't do business outside of the United States, then may as well deny traffic for services that wouldn't be available outside of the United States, since it is more often than not problematic traffic. This means sometimes legit traffic would be inconvenienced, as you were, and sorry about that, but it is a realistic scenario that the small amount of legit pain is worth the incredibly reduced risk footprint. Of course, baddies could get VPNs, too, but that's all part of the game.
Just wanted to note that maybe “traditional” isn’t the most accurate description. They are used not because of a tradition but rather due to mountains of legacy code.
And, eventually everything boils down to specific requirements and tasks that need to be accomplished, and the question should be what is the best tool for the given job, given a set of circumstances and constraints…

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh
Some sort of penalty for passing unconstitutional laws sounds good but not sure how it could be implemented in practice. They did swear an oath to uphold the constitution.
I find clearly marked sponsored content on YouTube a non-issue. Yeah there are scummy or questionable sponsors but overall I get why they exist and in comparison to the alternative I think its an acceptable solution.

There's people and companies on YouTube that produce outstanding content and I have no issue supporting them (YouTube Premium). I get that's not an option for a lot of people though so barring the invasive tracking for ads on YouTube, this is the next best thing.
Most of the billionaire tech CEOs that I've seen get stock comp in RSUs which are taxed at time of vest. That may be different in other industries though.
Non-determinism is possible if your system's inputs are entirely deterministic. If your system's inputs are deterministic and your initial state is deterministic, you don't even have to worry about state management or side effects (no need for functional programming). This is possible to achieve with certain fork-resistant blockchain systems. You can also achieve determinism across multiple blockchain systems with different consensus mechanisms so long as they are both fork-resistant.
> Makes sense with ISOs.

I agree.

> Until you sell the contract or the shares from exercising the options, you don't have any actual money

There are other ways of converting them into money, like lending against them. And that is what billionaires are often doing, as it is financially much more attractive. With how things currently are, it would be stupid not to.

That is what I am trying to get across: If we managed to invert the incentives, billionaires might actually sell their stocks, and get taxed on that, rather than finding creative workarounds.

Then the state could profit, instead of banks.

There's a few comments - seemingly from our American friends - that seem to suggest that left / right socks are a thing. I'm hoping I'm parsing those comments poorly, but ever since the revelation that Americans don't have kettles, I'm prepared for the worst.

I got fed up with poor socks a few years ago and embarked on a project to try to find the best, or at least consistently decent, work socks. That's work in the sense of stomping around in the workshop or outdoors, in heavy duty boots, spending most of my day standing up or moving around -- not work as in sitting at a chair for 8h while wearing mildly uncomfortable but aesthetically appropriate footwear, occasionally shuffling around a carpeted floor, etc.

Anyway, that was basically a despairing effort. Unsurprisingly, everyone claiming to have the best socks did not, in fact, have the best socks.

I did end up with a stack of hard-yakka bamboo socks, which were surprisingly comfortable when worn with big heavy blundstone boots, but about a year after discovering (and building up quite a large collection) I moved to hard-yakka boots, and then found out that the combination of their bamboo socks with their boots would result in a very uncomfortable bunching of sock around the ankle.

Bonds - very popular purveyors of socks and daks and other necessities here in Straya - have some work socks that I've since settled on, though a top-up purchase made a few months ago suggest they've changed their recipe from ~18 months back, feels like a higher ratio of nylon to cotton, but alas no record was maintained of the first tranche, so I am wary, but so far satisfied.

(For actual day-job work socks, Bonds here also do a range of basic-black that come in 3-pair sets, which have tiny lines of primary colours along the toes, red, green, blue, etc - originally I thought that was quite twee as it would help maintain pairs, but in practice it just feels like a way to shift more product - as there's no reason, beyond obsession, to match 'miscoloured stripe' pairs, but when one of a pair inevitably expires, you're then left with the difficult decision of committing fully to going pairless in the sock drawer, or throwing away a perfectly fine sock out of sympathy.)
Appreciate the whimsical animations and hand drawn style :)
Term limits for staff would be even more effective than term limits for politicians.
The models now are probably closer to GPT-2, and gets very close to GPT-3 with decent hardware (larger param models) and effort.
They're certainly worse when it comes to 'knowledge' or memorized parts of the training data, but a decent bit of this is ameliorated by having "the pile" + other data locally available for reference.

There are some issues that arise from not having decent priors due to that lack of knowledge, which may or may not be important for the given task.
A (perhaps somewhat bad) example may be: if you ask me "what is a good one-liner in bash for parsing xml from a stream", I may give you an answer using xmlstarlet. However, this may not be the best answer - since Xalan can handle XSLT version 3, but xmlstarlet can't (XSLTv3 handles streams).

So if looking up information in the database, some things may be slightly missed like that - but this behavior would be close to what ChatGPT offers (ChatGPT is quite awful in this way most of the time).

You are right that it would miss GPT-4 by a good bit though in these cases, but most people aren't using GPT-4 for this anyway.

Ultimately both can be used. OpenAI can do things you really want it for, such as a programming assistant, or things that may require much more "reasoning" (not a proper word, but conveys the message) capabilities.

Local models can do the really useful base work of completely re-organizing or re-encoding files to free up space if you set it to do so, integrating with a HomeAssistant system, setting up a HomeAssistant system if you want one, answering your vocal 'Alexa/Siri'-like questions completely offline, setting up backup solutions for all your computers, setting up servers that perform more tasks that you may want - essentially a complete personal assistant. OpenAI shouldn't be needed for this, and it is highly desired to not have them do any of this (due to costs and the number of credentials it would give to them).
Do you know why people end up "drugged out"?

In a great many cases, it's because they lost hope, and the drugs were the only thing that let them escape from their pain and despair.

There's a good amount of scientific evidence that drug addiction is harder to fall into, and vastly easier to break out of, when people have a support system. This includes having a place to live.

> How is "being there for the mission and for the people" better than "being there for money and for tech stack"

Tech stacks change; human stacks stay the same. Intellectual honesty isn't going to obsoleted by some shinier virtue in 5 years—and if a company needs to pivot, it's still going to be a right tool for the job.

You mention taxes, that's part of the issue here.

In America we aren't particularly good market capitalists and bail out corporations (see 2008) when they fail and then generally never have any sort of similar process for when they succeed (see Big Energy companies right now). So we're all for market capitalism when things are going well...but not when they're going poorly.

The concept that seems to be missing/underused is "windfall tax".

Google tells me we tried it in 1980 under Carter and apparently did a horrendous job of it but the concept seems sound enough.
Nit: it's "Modular"
I was on the naive side, you're not being unfair!
The point is that some programmer (or probably PM) think it’s a better resource to custom program that response rather than to address fixing whatever the device did to make you curse at it.

I think this is an assumption that the device is right and the user is wrong. So chiding them on manners is thought to be the right product move, rather than using it as input for finding better device behavior.
It is presented like this in popular culture. At least from my consumption of it.
I am not even sure you can say US gov is less involved in economic affairs than the govs of the rest of the world. The taxpayer money has to go somewhere and in other countries it seems to go more towards infrastructure, social causes, healthcare. In US it goes where? Defense and business development? So they are probably more involved in economic affairs.

It's true that in europe lower taxes are not a topic. Nobody really expects to pay less taxes. They expect better services and guarantees.
So the difference is really that Finland is further along the path of civilisation?

Heard similar stories from my Ex's older brother.

Nice guy, probably on the spectrum, started smoking weed to help him chill out in social situations. Turned into a heavy user.

Few years later he ended up hospitalized due to psychosis, ended up on schizophrenia meds. Spend 2 years working a shit job medicated up to his eyeballs, smoking weed regularly.

He met a girl after I wanna say ~2 years and got off the weed... and didn't have a lick of psychosis. Eventually got off the meds, working a job just fine, does a lot of mountain biking. Can't say what he's doing now but when me and the ex split he'd basically turned his life around, and it was mostly due to getting lots of exercise and cutting out the marijuana.
Maybe you're right ... I'm using "traditional" in place of "legacy" or "classic" (I believe )

There are a lot of "modern" or "up-and-coming" languages out there (Hare, Python, Ruby, Swift...)

And there are a slew of "old", "traditional", or "classic" languages out there, too :) (APL, FORTRAN, C/C++...)

For myself, I'm a scooter fan as well.

I remember seeing a lot of dedicated motorcycle parking when I lived in California, none here in the Midwest. Having dedicated parking for 2-wheels would help for people scratching their heads about picking up an electric scooter.
I believe Apple already has background checks and all kinds of red tape on par with weapon manufacturers.

For compensation I also believe that weapon manufacturers pay high salaries already as well.

So I might be wrong but from my point of view as software dev - Apple is not producing actual weapons to be the only difference.
Yeah, OpenVPN even supports authenticated web proxies, which is a really nice feature for tunneling. But I realize that I'm probably far from a typical user.

A lack of physical exertion is a large cause of obesity and depression. Human innovation tends towards us making our lives easier (so: less physical exercise). Quite the dilemma!
I personally wouldn't want to blanket-drop sponsored content from the videos I watch, but this seems really nicely put together, and a version which let me exclude "sketchier" sponsors but keep everything else (or perhaps lets me skip ones I've seen before) would be great.

Or just consider some HTTP over TLS proxy like this one: https://github.com/Snawoot/dumbproxy

It may appear a bit more flexible option, especially if forwarding all traffic to VPN entirely is undesirable.
I park my car inside a garage, no way to charge it. If everyone would have to park their cars outside this would take a lot of additional parking space.

Bikes and scooters do not replace all use cases for cars. We need alternatives. This is one of hopefully many more.
It needs to listen for the stop command.

I have an alarm that plays a song. I don’t want to listen to the whole song every morning so I stop it once I’m up and going. This is through Alexa though and Alexa repeats the song until you stop it.
Great question, thanks.

If the Verifiable Identifier is not salted first, and the attacker is determined to match a particular domain to a hash in a rainbow table of hundreds of millions of email addresses / phone numbers, then the answer is yes.

So worst case scenario, this could be a way for a bad actor (e.g. a state) to track down the journalist that runs a blog that's critical of a regime. However, people like that would not opt-in to a Domain Verification record in the same way that they don't opt in to having their details published to the website / WHOIS. So I don't think this is a real risk.

The bigger rainbow table risk is mitigated by the hash being used in the DNS label.

As an example, if the hashed verifiable identifier was simply stored in TXT at:
_dv.example.com

Then it would be trivial to harvest e.g. 100m Domain Verification records and then match those hashes against a rainbow table (e.g. 500m hashed emails). However, since the hash is used in the label so you would need to run 500m DNS queries per domain (one for each rainbow table hash).
I love Crystal, and have loved it for several years. It was my go-to for Advent of Code or small fun projects for a while.

Eventually, I got so tired of constantly jumping between browser docs and my editor because of the lack of a working and useful language server (yes, I know about Scry and Crystalline, but neither of them actually do autocomplete outside of maybe 2% of cases), and I got so used to an amazing tooling experience when writing F# (my other favorite language) that I just kinda dropped off using Crystal.

Things I would've written in Crystal, I wrote in F#. If I _really_ needed a static binary, I picked up Rust (though I love Crystal's syntax _so much more_ than Rust's).

If Crystal gets a good language server, heck yeah I'll roll with it. In the meantime, it just sorta feels like a missed opportunity.
A +1 for qdrant from a happy user. we use qdrant in production with a 50-100MM rows scale. Haven't experienced many bottlenecks thus far, and has performed quite well.

@qdrant_team: perhaps you should look into offering it as a service, a la pinecone.

edit: oops just checked your (updated) website and notice you have an offering already. Congrats! will check it out. ty =)
The point is that you don’t need a hash table implementation. And the normalization that is used as the sorting key doesn’t otherwise have good hash-like qualities (like constant size and a good distribution) and thus doesn’t especially deserve to be called a hash.

There are C compilers targeted at Lisp Machines, one targeted at the JVM could use the same techniques to implement pointers.
>Because there is no sensible mapping from, like, C source to the JVM

Really?

C is available on so many hardware sets ... it's practically universal (Arduino, x86, MIPS, 68k, PowerPC, ARM, SPARC, RISCV...)

I find it incredibly hard to believe that you couldn't target the JVM (which also runs on SPARC, ARM, RISCV, x86, POWER...) with C as the source language!
Based upon a recently unsealed filing in Texas in the Fintiv vs Apple case Apple has now admitted to the court that it committed fraud on the court in denying for over three years that it had never signed NDA’s with Fintiv or its affiliates in 2011 – 13. Indeed they did.

I will agree, that in many cases this is close to reality we live in currently (for instance holiday destinations, private resorts, etc.). But that doesn't mean people can't fight it and occasionally win. And I would think it would be important for public parks (and other institutions) to do so.

Otherwise what is the point of public institutions. Just privatize everything.

I agree. You might read some tea leaves and conclude that democrats or republicans are better from this article. I got the impression that the parties are very similar. There is no party that is the "obvious" choice. The debt goes up either way.

My only opinion is that the republican party is behaving far far more childish in public.
Actually Google was amazing in those times and didn't fire anybody in the 2008 recession that I lived through. Eric Schmidt was focusing on a vision where we can do great things, 20% project was real (I had one), which of course just meant extra work, as it didn't help in promotions (something I had to learn of course as an idealist).

I would do this part again, but what I didn't realize at that time is that with 5x higher salary than before I should have spent much more money on balancing the disadvantages of living in a place where the local language is impossible to learn (Swiss German in Zurich).
