As another comment mentioned, there are a number of college courses that are available on line for free. Pick a subject area, then see if you can find the course websites for a few different universities' versions of the class. As a rough heuristic, just pick the top N CS schools in some ranking and google "<school> <topic>". If they don't have the videos, try the course site from previous years too (2020 is a good one for lectures being on Youtube).

For example, "cmu databases" leads to CMU's Intro to Database Systems, which has all lectures online: https://15445.courses.cs.cmu.edu/fall2022/ . "cmu advanced databases" leads to https://15721.courses.cs.cmu.edu/spring2023/

In case anyone is wondering, studying these aerosols is very important to our understanding of global ecology because the desert dust coming off the Sahara [1] supplies critical nutrients like phosphorus from the Bodélé Depression [2] in Chad to the Amazon rainforest on the other side of the planet [3]!

This satellite will improve our ability to study this planetary transfer of nutrients and see if we can discover any other such connections.

There's no meaningful benefit of this over a password and 2FA authentication for users who are already proactive about security. I also doubt that passkeys will be protected by the fifth amendment the way passwords are, based on the "key vs combination" argument. While I trust Google password manager to help me remember passwords, I don't trust Google or any company to manage them for me.

At their core, passkeys are a easy and nice way to move from passwords to public private key cryptography. And hardware based authentication does allow more security. And by leveraging the hardware-backed keystore and security enclave, you can use your phone the way FIDO keys are already used. But there aren't clear benefits over 2FA and a password.

There are many reasons why I will wait as long as possible, maybe indefinitely before I start using passkeys. The idea of this being tied to Google or any other major company for my logins is not okay. There are many cases of people being locked out of Google accounts without the ability to appeal. With current 2factor, you can control the secrets yourself if you choose to. While it's true that you can't be phished into sharing your passkey as easily, you also lose a lot of convience and flexibility in login management. And it makes login sharing or multi-account management very inconvenient and difficult.

I was hopeful with 2FA rolled out that my accounts would be more secure, but most companies give you very little over which methods of 2FA are allowed or enabled. I don't want to be forced to enroll a phone number just to enable TOTP 2FA. I want to be able to choose between TOTP or HOTP for my accounts. I don't want to be forced to use a 2FA app that doesn't allow me to export and manage the secrets myself. In some ways FIDO keys solve some of those issues, but the hardware security aspect of it contradicts giving the end user the choice to self manage.

You realize that Tim Cook and not Steve Jobs was responsible for thar right as the COO? SJ had nothing to do with that.
I think one of the most creative and progressive times was when Labor was forced to negotiate with the independants.

For all Rupert Murdoch and the Liberals relentlessly hammered them for the "compromise" I feel like we saw a lot more good government and policy decisions because there had to be debate and negotiation and give-and-take instead of taking the power for granted.

Then we got 10 years of climate denialism and jobs'n'growth, and it was all about those already well off, and not looking to the future, not looking at social issues, just corporate ones.

Hopefully things improve on many axes.

I don’t see any reason to suggest that the CEO’s pay here is some failing of the market. Google’s owners felt it was appropriate to pay the CEO that amount, and it doesn’t really affect the pay or well being of Google’s other employees, who are/were some of the highest paid already.

This series is effectively about doing the same, but embedded Deno instead of Lua. It's showing how to launch Deno runtime, and how to seed those runtime with various hooks to access & manipulate the program it's embedded in.
I can’t criticize the evidence that caffeine causes psychosis, because there is no evidence, and the burden of proof is on those who believe it does cause psychosis.

What I was doing was musing about a possible link between the anti-caffeine craze and the numerous anti-X crazes that preceded it. It is fascinating to me that many people, are eager to choose one (1) trapping of modern life and believe it causes so many different ills.

I did not intend to dismiss all the concerns about caffeine raised in the article—I was really just reacting to the quote, which presents a more extreme view of caffeine than the rest of the article.

I don’t feel personally responsible but recognize that I can take actions to avoid these things, at least in some cases. If I ever found a store (literally any kind) today that didn’t price almost everything at $X.99 they would have all of my business which they could support. However, I recognize that I’m just one person and ultimately these decisions primarily benefit me. That’s also why I advocate for it; the behavior can benefit those close to me if they happen to agree.

Indeed it is a systemic issue and I don’t claim to have a systemic solution. Even the personal solution is pretty shaky, considering the ubiquity of these practices. Oh well, it’s better than giving in.
Here is a test I did the other day of rough sketch (hand drawn) -> clean line work (AI) -> coloured (AI). This workflow gives 100% control over the output because you can easily adjust the linework in the intermediary step.

This is using Stable Diffusion and the Control Net Lineart Model. The coloured version is pretty rough but it was a quick test.

In my opinion Stable Diffusion is vastly superior to Midjourney if you have the skill to provide input to img2img/ControlNet.

>Let the King shake hands and open buildings and leave the governing to the MPs

If the king/queen shakes hands and open buildings, do we really need a royal family with all its associated costs (not only monetary) or a single appointed person that can do these things and get replaced if it's not doing a good job? Let the people vote for it in elections or let the Parliament appoint someone to do these things. I just don't see why the nation should keep giving power to the same family over and over.

>I look forward to finding a politician who will work for nothing. The royal family pay for themselves through their own property and holdings, they actually pay 80% of their earnings to the state and keep the remaining 20% for themselves.

I didn't say it'd cost nothing. Also, the majority of the property and holdings of the royal families come from all those privileges obtained over the centuries, which they get to enjoy while the rest of the people don't have a chance unless allowed in isolated occasions (if so).

>Generally we continue with things because they've worked well for us for centuries. I don't see anyone in the current political class that I'd rather have as a 'president' than Elizabeth II or even Charles III. The British way is empiricism, biased more to observation than pure reason.

Fine, but this is literally an appeal to tradition [1].

>It gives us someone who can speak for the nation, untainted by party politics. This is something you'll miss if you abolish the monarchy.

But this is the case in many republics as well! I live in Finland where the head of state speaks for the nation and is untainted by party politics. He was elected in 2012 and re-elected multiple times, becoming one of the highest valued officials of all time (I think it's currently the second). I have listened to him a bunch of times and I can clearly see he's a "king" with the difference of eventually getting replaced due to better people around or just doing poorly. Good luck doing that with a king/queen - in Spain, it just happened when scandals keep stacking up to an unbearable point where he had to forcefully abdicate or else monarchy could have been really gone.

All this being said, I believe the discussion won't become very productive because you're pro-monarchy and I'm anti-monarchy, in general terms, and some couple paragraphs here and there probably can't change much (specially given the feeling we're both well informed about our positions and it's not simple fanatism). We have exposed our arguments but I really see this can get really long and at the end pointless. I appreciate the time you spent answering my questions with your opinions that, while I don't agree with, are respectable and educated. I'll take a look at Mr Scruton.

Except Mac sales account for less than 10% of their revenue, and as of Q2 this year are down 31%. If they completelyt disappeared it would be bad without anything like disastrous. If you're going to give credit to Tim Cook for doing something original point to boring, unsexy services: over $20B this quarter and 3x that brought in by Macs, with better margins.
That is a complicated question. They get marketing and a few more eyes delivering bug fixes. However they also get to deal with contributions going not exactly in the direction they want and either have to argue against or take maintenance burden on themselves. Also they limit the changes they can do. An internal framework they can change as they like. They know all users.

For different projects that works differently well.
I think there's a difference between being able to backup a file (like I can with keepass password database) to any device,format or location I choose, vs backup my iPhone to Icloud,because for all intents and purposes that's just secondary memory/storage for my one device.

My wife recognizes the scream from the home office when I try to move ANYTHING from my iPhone to anything else in the world. I have no doubt that backing up the pass keys from iPhone / ICloud to a thumb drive or my windows pc would lead to even more primeval shrieks.

So I feel those pass keys are pretty stuck to that device in practical ways that matter. Let me know if I'm wrong!

At this point we're no longer talking about social media we're talking about personalisation. None of what you said touched on either the social aspect or whether something is or is not a medium for such activity.

Which is fine, but probably something to keep in mind when debating definitions.

Most of what you mentioned is more about privacy. Which could indeed do with some additional protections, though attempts at an age restriction tend to run into the paradox that you need to know someone's age to enact the restriction, which means you need their personal info, which is what we're trying to avoid.

I'm not sure preventing targeted ads or recommendations it is enough though. Part of the problem with social media is that they accelerate all types of social interaction, which may be harmful in and of itself (you don't need recommendation algorithms or targeted ads for something to go viral after all, viral memes predate both of those).
This project [1] is about replicating various mineral waters at home. They have a spreadsheet with chemical analysis of many different bottled waters, and a calculator where you can get your own tap water analyzed and calculate what to add to go from your tap water to Pellegrino, or your preferred mineral water. I haven't tried it yet, but as soon as we get our home carbonation system up and running, am looking forward to it.

Some history might be worth going in to here.

The AP1000 design was an evolution of an earlier design called the AP600. The AP600 conceptual design apparently didn't find any customers because the economics of it were unappealing compared to larger reactors. In a nutshell, if you're going to build a huge containment building etc etc etc, it doesn't cost (in theory) that much more to go even bigger and get more power out of it.

So why SMRs?

It turned out that because you were building so few AP1000s, and building them with different workforces each time, that there was very little learning going on.

Some bright spark seeing what's gone on in other industries had the bright idea that if you could build a nuclear reactor in a factory, and increase the number of units built and minimise the amount of work done on site, you'd start getting learning rates and economies of scale that easily outweigh the lower inherent efficiency of a smaller reactor.

At 300MW, this reactor seems to be too big to be "back of a few trucks" construction, and thus you still have the bespoke construction project issues, and sufficiently small that the construction costs of 4 of them are likely to be much higher than one AP1000 (the AP1000 actually puts out about 1100 MW).
This is just for authenticating to google, right?
There is exactly one device on the market (that I have found) which seems to satisfy both sides of your interests here: a rotary dimmer by a somewhat obscure company called Martin Jerry which functions perfectly well as a dumb dimmer but also can be fully controlled as an iot device.

The only downside (apart from the idiosyncratic physical knob design) is that it's a tuya platform device, but the manufacturer also markets a DIY version which is trivially flashable to open source tasmota or ES32Home, severing the connection to the mothership entirely while retaining all functionality.
I don't know your unit economics (but they sound fascinating), but generally free trials are considered a marketing expense and would be worked into the CAC (customer acquisition cost). Then you can trade-off CAC with lifetime value (LTV) and a target payback period – i.e. the break-even period.

Let's say a search costs 1c, the free plan therefore costs $1. With a 5% 30d conversion rate that's a $20 CAC. On $10/m for 700 searches, that's just under 7 months to pay back which is quite long, but drops to just over 3 months if users average ~400 searches, so I can see why you don't want to roll over.

That said, if you believe you have a big LTV/long retention, retained users past their payback period should be more than enough to pay salaries/R&D/etc, so maybe there is more flexibility.

> Selling product at cost or below is something VC funded startups can do, which we are not.

I know it often feels like this, but I think the answer is more complicated. It's often hard to know what cost actually is – when you're hiring, growing, and selling a service running on tech that is hard to price.

I'm interested in how you know your cost per search at such a level of precision. It suggests to me that either you've done _way more_ work measuring it and optimising your infrastructure than I expect for a company of Kagi's age, or that it's a fairly naive number (understandably so!) based on dividing infra cost by number of searches. If it's the latter, are there economies of scale that significantly change the number if you have, say, 10x or 100x the user base?

Funny. Groups is, by far, the worst offender in the entire Meta ecosystem. It's become THE TOOL for scammers. And because they can be private they can hide for much longer than they'd otherwise be able to. I actually feel confident in saying that Jan 6 would not have happened (the way it did) without Facebook Groups. It's a breeding ground for the worst of the worst to hang out in plain sight.

If you want to prey on seniors, if you want to run an MLM or affiliate marketing ring, or if you want to organize an insurrection or promote a conspiracy or antivax group Facebook Groups is THE PLACE. By absolute volume it's way worse the Telegram groups. Old people can't figure out Telegram, but Facebook Groups is their jam.

If you really want to make "six figures online" while working "four hours a week" all you need is a scammer mentality and a few Facebook Groups. Message me for access when you're ready to level up your life.
If that person who can do a better job exists and can be identified, we should hire them and not waste time worrying about how much they are paid. It’s more important somebody else doesn’t hire them first.

It definitely is. A pump and dump is a coordinated effort to artificially raise the price of a stock.

Posting technical analysis and/or positive news that encourages people to take a position is not a pump and dump. No more than any financial article that has ever been written.
Good to see, however such technologies need to operate along side improved regulations.

1) Regulate, 2) Issue strong penalties, 3) Reposes ownership to a publicly owned and governed entity before resuming compliant operations.

We need to embrace a culture of accepting that some businesses _should_ fail. If corporations cannot adapt to modern environmental standards - they should not be operating.
there is a theory along these lines. something like: the defense against the unconscious is so strong in autism that the person becomes rigid and shut off. the defense against the unconscious is so weak in schizophrenia that the person is overwhelmed with phenomena. but both have something to do with intense unconscious objects.

My very naive opinion is that the best way to predict the big-picture actions of Google is a simple question: WWIitND - What Would IBM in the Nineties Do?

In more direct terms, their sole, laser focus seems to be on maintaining short-term shareholder value, and I really don't trust the typical hedge fund manager to approve of any risky OSS moves for a project/tech that they're surely paying a LOT of attention to.

Giving away transformer tech made Google look like "where the smartest people on the planet work", giving away full LLM models now would (IMO) make them look like arrogant and not... well, cutthroat enough. At least this is my take in a world where financial bigwigs don't know or care about OSS at all; hopefully not the case forever!
There is no logical basis to agree with that sentiment. Have you actually spent much time in Ohio? Lots to do in Cleveland.

But the home ownership rate isn't even particularly high in Ohio. Based on home ownership rates it appears to be easier to buy in other states like Minnesota, Maryland, and Utah. Lots of options depending on what you're looking for.

Very unpopular opinion sadly. The most common argument I’ve heard is, “Just hire me! I’d do it for way less!” As if running a company employing ~150k people into the ground to make a quick buck is morally better than letting a hyper-competent professional run the operation and make “too much” money.
