L-theanine seems to be pretty good for a lot of people. :)

My experiment with it went pretty badly as it took out my mood stabilizer. (Oops.) That took me for a wild ride for the next 3 weeks after I stopped it.

After I mentioned this to my psychiatrist, she was rather insistent about not self-medicating. This included vitamins. A great number of things interact poorly with my medication mix. (e.i. Magnesium can interfere with absorption.)

At this point, I treat anything available over the counter the same way I treat prescription medications. I do research and clear anything potentially psychoactive with my psychiatrist. I do use natural things like melatonin. I just need to make sure are safe to take.
Yes. This is correlation, not causation. He has been focused on diversification away from ads and hasn't been performing especially well.

His pay is likely set years in advance, based on performance metrics. Sundar is riding the ads wave to huge payouts in spite of his massive failures, Google Plus, Stadia, devices, especially ChromeOS tablets, mismanaging Cloud, and on, and on...

they probably ship it on a train to poor states like Alabama (kinda like this: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/18/603718526...). Alabama doesn't give a fuck about the environment even though we have the most ecological diverse state in the country.
Give the country and its democracy some credit (Indian here).

We’ve voted out charismatic leaders, we’ve voted in huge coalitions, we’ve ignored sympathy waves after political assassinations, power transfers have been uniformly peaceful since we gained independence.

If this cultural/endemic corruption at work, I think most people in most countries would prefer this to whatever oligarchy, junta, theocracy, ruler-for-life-god-on-earth-ocrasy they suffer under.
This paper goes into great detail about how urban households have lower emissions than suburban ones.[0] This is made up of the different energy, transportation, food, goods, and services emissions of the different lifestyles associated with each area. For instance, going beyond transportation, climate control for buildings is one of the top uses of energy. Detached single-family homes are pretty must worst case, compared to attached housing, or even multi-story apartments, etc.

The biggest downside (compared to solar wind) of nuclear always was payback time on investment.

Solar wind is volatile and non-dispatchable, so you need something to balance it. Of course we can always say heck it and live with constant brownouts and highly variable energy cost, but that is a non-solution in my book. You can overprovision generation, you can build dispatchable storage solution or dispatchable alternative generation source. In the end you need this because of variability and non-dispatchability of solar wind. Nuclear does not have this property, ergo it does not need storage to prevent brownouts. Sure, some models suggest that storage could under certain circumstances maybe help shave off a few percent of the cost, but that is the extent nuclear needs storage.

And this brings us back to original issue of payback time. Solar wind has lower payback time, because the cost of variability is borne by the grid, i.e. classical example of privatizing the profits and socializing the losses.
> No, the Fed is trying to lower aggregate consumer demand to rein in the growth in consumer prices. If it could acheive that entirely by adversely impacting availability and cost of credit while unemployment kept dropping, that would be ideal, given the other side of its dual mandate.

It would be ideal. But it is not achievable. So raising unemployment is a short term goal to achieve the broader goal of stability.

> As far as I can see, this system doesn’t prove that the email address controls the domain now; it proves that it controlled the domain at the time it was set up.

This is a really good point, thanks.

For a single service provider who has already done verification, this is no different to:

"this system doesn’t prove that the party that setup the TXT record controls the domain now; it proves that it controlled the domain at the time it was set up."

Which is the current state of the art.

However, let's say a disgruntled ex-employee wanted to claim their ex-employer company domain with a new service provider. The service provider could use the old verification record that their previous employer might have overlooked to delete (likely using a personal email address).

Compared to the state-of-the-art, I suppose this would be the same as not terminating this user account for your domain registrar – they could log in and cause havoc.

I totally recognise that it would be more obvious for a company to delete the registrar user account than it would be to remove some obscure DNS records but if over time this was recognised as the best way to manage authentication for domains then it would become more obvious.

> It’s hard to imagine checking the DNS, of all things, when an employee is off-boarded.

There would need to be tools to manage domain verification and these would ideally be offered by domain registrars.

I'd also argue that if you're granting employees access to things using their personal email then you're going to hit a bunch of snags. I'll give this one more thought.

A few reasons, off the top of my head:

First, only some jobs can be done efficiently in a remote way. We should not be in a rush to generalize this to every job.

Second, public transit can be more energy and cost-efficient when in a denser context. In addition to public transit, there's also cargo transport for things like food, which given dense areas can be handled by more carbon efficient methods like water and rail instead of trucks. We haven't even touched on the efficiencies for water, sewer, and electrical infrastructure.

Third, dense construction can be done with timber. We've now reached a point technologically where a 100m building can be constructed primarily out of wood (search "plyscraper"). Wood is a very ecologically friendly material, as using it means capturing carbon.

Fourth and finally, building up instead of sprawling out means less deforestation, less draining wetlands, and less paving over prairies.

In short there are a lot of factors that go into environmentally friendly living, and most of them favor higher density.

Matlab is a lot faster than Python. At least an order of magnitude, once you move out of calls to LAPACK et al. It has been improved quite a bit on that front.

So Python is often not a realistic alternative. This is where initiatives like Mojo come in. They will be at least an order of magnitude faster than Matlab again.

But if you want to get people to move from Matlab to a powerful Open-Source alternative: Julia has a syntax that is much closer to Matlab than Python's. I had good success to get colleagues to use Julia which wouldn't look at Python, because the syntax was too far out of their comfort zone.

While I didn't do this last time, in the future, I would plug the Raspberry pi to one of my smart power outlet (ie Kasa wifi power outlet) connected via HomeAssistant, so I can remotely restart it if Raspberry Pi becomes unresponsive. I also have another Raspberry Pi (again, the original 2012), so I could add redundancy by running second WireVPN on it, too.

My theory. If you are in Austin, look at all the new buildings being built on every block. Those building, often with the bank that financed them at almost free money loan rates shown an a placard outside, will eventually finish being built without anymore being financed at today's interest rates. Then look at thousands of laborers doing the building. Every month those buildings are being completed. We are at the apex right now. Eventually everyone one of those laborers are going to have to find a new job however there will not be loans to finance more building.

The money injected into the system was created 2, 3, and 4 years ago. It takes a few years for the effects of multi million dollar financing to show.
A the emphasis on Semantic HTML makes me think the author is missing the point of Flutter Web.

The goal of Flutter Web is to make an app that runs in a web browser instead of on a phone or on the desktop. It is not trying to be an html document. iOS and Android and Windows and Mac apps don't have "semantic controls".

> [...] how a typical store with a shopping cart works; do everything on the server side, and just display it to the client.

The same concerns apply for a typical shopping cart design. The price can change in between the time when you sent the price to the client, and the time when the user actually decides to buy.

The reason I became homeless was because I had to find another home whilst suffering from depression. To cut a long story short, I put off doing what I should have done until it was too late and then made a series of poor decisions.

The cost of housing was nothing to do with it, I didn't have a lot of cash available at the time but I know plenty of people who did. My landlord even offered me another place for the same rent but I turned it down.

When you are depressed you avoid making decisions, and then when you eventually do, those decisions can turn out to be the wrong ones.

I would say that making a series of poor decisions is the most likely way to end up on the streets. This may be a result of mental health issues, pure stupidity, simple bad luck or a combination of the three.

The cost issue may be a factor but the majority of people manage to cope with this somehow. As I said, I became homeless when housing was still considered to be easily affordable.
This is what happens when the main criteria to hire your devs is stuff like whiteboard coding and encyclopedic knowledge of algorithms. You end up with a bunch of really smart people who don't care about users.
For Google, LLMs for search responses, ad ranking, and page ranking are all quite useful. They can directly eat up the first page or so of filler responses they normally have now for queries. It's a great opportunity to clean out all the spam pages on the result pages at once, leaving high quality results and capturing that advertising/referral money back to Google.

Top 10 best reviewed android phones? Just put up a list generated by the LLM. Have a conversation with a product recommender that then collects fees from whoever it recommends.

Not that I think Google's got the executive capacity to do any of this anymore.

Not enough to change the broad shape of the problem, because despite the word “plummet” the number of people leaving in net is not big enoughbto make much difference to the huge supply problem. The 2021 drop was less than half a percent of population.

Also, when you look at both sides of migration, the in-migrants are richer and less price sensitive than the out-migrants, so, they put disproportionate pressure on prices for the remaining non-rich, mitigating the demand effects of net out-migration.

Like Warren Mosler (founder of MMT) argues, you can think of rate hikes as basic income for the rich.

Since the US Debt to GDP ratio is so high now, rate hikes are creating a higher deficit spending from the government into the economy (bondholders) which can be more than enough to counteract the contractive effect of rate hikes.

It's a good way to nail down a lot of the fundamentals, on top of which a good CS education can be built.

So if you already have a solid CS education it's not really necessary, except maybe for the enjoyment of reading a really well thought through pedagogical work. Which can sometimes help coalesce concepts and the connections between them.

I buy Falke socks en masse whenever on sale and have ample stock of unused socks available (at the moment about a dozen pairs) for use whenever I have to retire a pair because it is worn out or lost its mate. Small things, but like shoes or mattresses, comfortable socks make a huge difference to your quality of life given how much of your life you spend in them.

This does not seem so obvious to me. Scenarios where we solve intermittency by improved grid connectivity and overprovisioning with only minimal storage seem quite plausible; transporting gigawatts of power over thousands of kilometers is a solved problem after all.

(I think the main problem is purely political in that nations don't want to depend on others for energy, and outside of a few exceptions that would probably be necessary if storage was to be minimized).
It's clearly a partnership

Do any of the vector databases have support for bit embeddings. We have created bit embeddings[1] for sentences and they save a lot of space. Currently we are just using numpy and sometimes faiss to search through these bit embeddings. Would love for one of the vector dbs to support bit embeddings natively. Then we don't have to engineer that piece :)

It's a ha-ha-only-serious joke. Overemployment definitely exists - there's a whole r/overemployed subreddit with 174K members, where people routinely post about the 2-3 jobs they have. And I (eng manager at a FAANG) have seen fellow managers post about what to do about reports that they find have multiple jobs.

I'm not endorsing the practice - it will get you fired if one of your employers find out (although maybe its practitioners don't care, they'll just get another 10 jobs) - and it's pretty ridiculous that it exists. But it's sort of the logical outgrowth of late-stage capitalism where the only thing that matters is securing the transaction that puts money in your bank account and actually doing the job that you promised to do is secondary.
Yeah. You sometimes hear rules like "never write tests outside a framework," but this advice is aimed at the junior dev who doesn't want to learn the tooling, not at someone who is necrocoding in a 30 year dead language and needs to decide between loads of copy/paste and rolling their own testing framework (which would get used once, leading to amortization difficulty). Sometimes the constraints really do call for loads of copy/paste, and that's OK.
Too late. And it's not just California. One possible element of my retirement plan is to dump my house in the PNW (merely $1M, not exactly California levels, but still) and buy something in the midwest about a third of the price on about 10 times the land.
Pretty much. Even if you somehow run out, in the absolute worst case of "you need to buy another batch and they are different" then

Do you mean LE or DNS-01?

DNS-01 is unique per service provider.

I don't think domain registrants care about protocols, they care about how many things they've got to do with their DNS.

With DNS-01 and older methods it was based on, there's friction for each service provider. With the Domain Verification protocol there's friction first time only.

Sorry if I've misunderstood something here. If so, please forgive me and elaborate to help me understand.

Exactly—I think Larry and Sergey are overpaying their CEO, not just for moral, "it's unfair to pay the boss while we fire the employees" reasons, but for business reasons: what's the cost of a replacement-level CEO? Is Sundar really firing Google employees more effectively than anyone else who might take that job? As noted in sibling comments, he gets paid significantly more than Tim Cook.
Yikes. Yeah I'm of two minds about things like this. Usually it is meant to provide some interesting data for follow-up studies, so it has to be published.

But until the actual science is performed by making this recommendation and tracking the results, there's no advice or conclusion that can be drawn from stuff like this. We need more science literacy --in journalism--.
Your assumption is incorrect; it does exist. GraalVM actually supports some of these. And long before GraalVM, there have been multiple commercial offerings to run FORTRAN on the JVM, but they've gone in and out of existence.

Most of the time if you're writing C, Cpp, FORTRAN, your primary goal is performance, not memory safety or portability. So executing on the JVM wouldn't buy you much.
What UX work goes into making sure you watch sponsored content? Every content creator I know uses chapters to mark where sponsored content is, Youtube has a flag at the beginning of the video to note that this video contains sponsored content. I'd argue they do a lot of UX work to make sure you know this video has a sponsor in it.

I am on a small team that initially rolled our own semantic search system. We quickly ran into issues around scaling, maintenance, and performance. Since we want to focus on delivering features and not turning into a DevOps team, we switched to Pinecone and it has met our needs pretty well. We would like to see auto-scaling and I believe that this feature is in the works. Support has been very responsive and helpful when we do have questions and issues.

There are plenty of LLMs to choose from with regard to finding sources of embeddings. Some free, some for money.
