yes and no. you can't sign your app with a certificate so if you want to have a frictionless install you have to pay. (the friction is having to explain that you have to press ctrl while clicking and then click open and then click trust this app) command line utilities don't have this friction and brew mainly installs command line utilities (though there are app binaries distributed through a separate brew thing... keg or cask or cellar or something like that)

traditionally you would need to pay the 99 bucks to install a binary on your ipad or iphone or iwatch. those need to have the certificate signed by apple to run on the phone for general security reasons so some website couldn't sideload an app. now you can do all of that without paying the 99 bucks... but if you wanted to sell it on the app store or distribute it for external testing you still need to pay.

What evidence do you have that the reason he fired those reporters was "for saying there was no evidence the 2020 election was stolen, and for pointing out that it had been proven that many people claiming it was were intentionally lying." He could have fired them for any number of reasons.

> they said their business plan for the next few years was to pull in the Fox News demographic by running similar content.

Who are "they" and where did "they" say this?

Licht's background, based on the article, was as the producer for Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. My understanding is that show would be considered a left-leaning show. He is also known as the show-runner for the late-night Stephen Colbert show. I believe that is also a pretty left-leaning show.

I am maybe more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in the face of the clear smears against him from The Atlantic article, but it seems well within reason to see him as a left-leaning believer in journalistic integrity. I assume that he honestly believes that the remedy to the rise of right-wing populism is to engage the other side in open debate and encourage the truth to shine through. But it seems beyond reason for me to assume he was a covert right-wing operator masquerading for decades as a left-wing political show runner waiting for his chance to transform CNN into Fox News.

Your response is totally in-line with the implied environment that The Atlantic is painting. The left is so ravenous for blood that they will paint anyone leaning towards the center as an enemy. The execs at CNN don't want moderate and unbiased voices (they "helicoptered" in). The reporters at CNN don't want moderate and unbiased leadership (they undermined Licht). And the public don't want moderate and unbiased media (they didn't tune in and ratings dropped). It doesn't matter if that is true or false, it is the narrative being implied.
This only makes sense if UBI is implemented as an alternative to current welfare programs, but to the extent that is done, I agree that it would be far better, allowing individuals to prioritize between needs, or even invest in their future.

I also like the idea of one lump sum showing how much people are getting from the government. It puts it up front and center, and the public can clearly decide how much is reasonable.

Last, if UBI is paid for with taxes, there would be no cliff, as net benefit would gradually taper then go negative as income increased.

The die analysis is awesome. Great coverage. Strongly tells that yes, L3 was cut, but the cores are also 35% smaller.

It'll be interesting to see what small Epyc cuts & how it does. Intel has a very strong small core with the E-core. Amazing jump. They supposedly have a many core chip quite a ways off based on it, and it could be an amazing offering, especially as Intel gets it's fab marching again.
So I think we're operating on different interpretations of the term 'militaristic'.

Star Trek primarily depicts the Federations (of planets) Military on the frontier of their space.

The society within the Federation is generally a democratic one and the use of Star Fleet is not to invade.

"Starfleet's function was to explore unknown territory on the behalf of the Federation government, to defend the Federation and its allies from threats, to further Federation policies and interests throughout interstellar space, and, when applicable, to initiate first contact with newly-discovered worlds and to engage in diplomatic negotiations on the behalf of the Federation. "

https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Federation_Starfleet

"Unlike its traditional rivals who derive power from a single dominant species subjugating other races within the boundaries of their empire, the Federation's various Member States join willingly and are equals in the Federation's democratic society."

https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/United_Federation_of_Pla...

contrast that with:

"Militarism is the belief or the desire of a government or a people that a state should maintain a strong military capability and to use it aggressively to expand national interests and/or values. It may also imply the glorification of the military and of the ideals of a professional military class and the "predominance of the armed forces in the administration or policy of the state (see also: stratocracy and military junta).... Militarism has been a significant element of the imperialist or expansionist ideologies of many nations throughout history. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militarism

"A stratocracy is a form of government headed by military chiefs."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratocracy

"A military junta is a government led by a committee of military leaders. The term junta means "meeting" or "committee" and originated in the national and local junta organized by the Spanish resistance to Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808."

We agree. Consider the world to be your street and your country your neighbor and your houses. Paying your neighbor more to keep the money local doesn't work to make your "country" richer. It just helps concentrate wealth with your neighbor. Mercantilist protectionism is about redistributing, not increasing, domestic resources.

Thanks for the clarifying link. I still don't see the issue here... so he thought Russia was not about to invade Ukraine before it actually happened, but in fact he was very wrong? so?

He obviously had a negative opinion about the US government and very little trust for it, so he is quite biased, but that seems expected given his history. I don't read this as him somehow supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

That doesn't argue against my point, though.

If you're a person who lives in Tanzania and is considering getting into mobile app development — and you've decided, first-and-foremost, that you want to "work locally" to produce apps that benefit your fellow Tanzanians — then by making this decision, you've basically opted out of "selling apps" altogether, instead placing yourself firmly in the "selling app-dev labor for the development of free apps" camp; and you've also opted out of targeting iOS, since it's got at most 7.75%[1] market share in Tanzania.

(And probably a large percentage of that 7.75% is tourists visiting for safaris, who won't ever be downloading your app-for-locals anyway. Tanzania's less-tourist-inclined neighbour, Kenya, has a 3.43% iOS market-share, which sounds closer to realistic for the area.)

(If you want a knock-down argument, though, how about this: India has a billion people and 3.92% of them use iOS (which I didn't realize until pulling the citation above.) There are definitely independent Indian game developers, making games whose characters are historical or mythological figures well-known in India, but not of much interest outside of India. They sell these games, for money. Would it make sense for these people to bother with iOS development, vs. focusing solely on Android development?)

Revolutionizing Language Learning with Replit Deployments
You can't trust any API to not close down. Your only safe bet is relying on local models or relying on nothing at all.

My bot calls LocalAI, which uses the same API as OpenAI does: https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI

Porting an app over to it's API only requires you to change the endpoint and the name of the model you're calling. It uses the same API schema as OpenAI and works like a charm. No need to mope about lack of alternatives, vote with your feet and move.

That is really odd. Even odder, I can keep saying "Continue" to it and get the rest of the opening (I don't have enough quota remaining to see if it will do the whole book), but it's pausing after each comma. Asking it to write more than one line has it agree, and then freeze after the next line.

Asking for it in ROT-13 did get multiple lines, but it hallucinated them after "the worst of times". Bard, meanwhile, insists it cannot help with that task, unless you ask it to output the text through a Python script.
Unfortunately, your time doesn't scale. Selling your own hours whilst also having to build and maintain a product and/or company is not a great idea. Hiring people to answer the questions is expensive as well. Things that get you a good chunk of money are based on being able to scale ridiculously well. Make once, sell many kind of things. People are not a good product to sell.

In addition, big corp knows the cost of an FTE and they will be translating your support offering back to FTE/hours, a unit they can put a price on. In turn, procurement will make your contract negotiation a living hell.

Better build and sell something they know they need but can only translate to how much value it will bring them / how much costs it will save at the bottom. Negotiating percentage(points) of a large sum of money is easier to sell than cash numbers that they translate to a human being being available to them.

Of course, if you really expect zero support is required and you can get many to sign it can still work out. It doesn't sound like a get rich quick scheme though.
Yeah, a big one in Nova Scotia recently too.
Product owners don’t care about accessibility. They care about time to market for 99.999% of your users, or for many products 100% of the users. The products I build are not accessible. Designers work hard to ensure they’re not or quite hard to make accessible at best. Modals on modals on modals with important content changing all over the place!
That's a very limited view of the price of compute coming down so massively actually means. Just consider one field, medicine for example, and just one example from that: COVID vaccines.
Naah. It's built-in at the camera factory.
You are correct that date_trunc will not utilize an index. To the query planner that's an opaque function; it has no idea how to translate that to an index condition.

However, the example you gave works just fine. It's all just UTC in backend and very much deterministic.

postgres=# create table timetest as select t.time, 'hi' as foo from generate_series('2000-01-01'::timestamptz, '2010-01-01'::timestamptz, '5 minutes'::interval) t(time);
SELECT 1052065
postgres=# create index on timetest(time);
CREATE INDEX
postgres=# explain analyze select * from timetest where time > now() - '30 days'::interval;
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ QUERY PLAN │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Index Scan using timetest_time_idx on timetest (cost=0.43..4.45 rows=1 width=11) (actual time=0.019..0.019 rows=0 loops=1) │
│ Index Cond: ("time" > (now() - '30 days'::interval)) │
│ Planning Time: 1.163 ms │
│ Execution Time: 0.081 ms │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

If you query frequently with date_trunc, you may want to use an expression index:

postgres=# create index on timetest(date_trunc('day', time at time zone 'US/Pacific'));
CREATE INDEX
postgres=# explain analyze select * from timetest where date_trunc('day', time at time zone 'US/Pacific') > now() - '30 days'::interval;
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ QUERY PLAN │
├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Index Scan using timetest_date_trunc_idx on timetest (cost=0.43..4.45 rows=1 width=11) (actual time=0.075..0.076 rows=0 loops=1) │
│ Index Cond: (date_trunc('day'::text, timezone('US/Pacific'::text, "time")) > (now() - '30 days'::interval)) │
│ Planning Time: 0.379 ms │
│ Execution Time: 0.124 ms │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Note that to make this work you have to convert "time" to a timestamp (no tz), because date_trunc with timestamptz is not an immutable function and cannot be indexed—I believe this is what you may have been thinking of when you say that timestamptz is non-deterministic.
Not sure why you think there's any emotion in it. "Hate" is your word here, not mine.

That's fair, but that isn't how I felt.

I was the mod for a city subreddit for a while and while it was tiring, it was easy to do (especially with a medium sized group, each pitching in a little bit). Keep the spam and trolling down, and community engagement up. (Then I got banned for calling a spammer on a large message board a spammer).

Name an online community space that isn't a for-profit company, that more than a few hundred people could name.

Maybe people can just deal with books having regional differences in the same way authors do. Is it so scary for F. Scott Fitzgerald to write about the color of the light, but Rowling to talk about the colours of the school houses?
Something interesting I noticed when we had extremely dry days in my area (fairly warm, too, but the really noteworthy part was the utter lack of humidity) was that fires sprang up seeming randomly all around the area. Started seeing conspiracy theories of arsonists going around lighting things on fire. I gather that there are many triggers for fires which normally don't get enough traction to take off.
Why not use the $100 Raspberry Pi 400 computers?

They are pretty great for programming. I run VS Code on mine and use it for C and Python. One can build and run fairly demanding and or sophisticated programs for about $100 and some sort of display.
I know long term thinking is basically impossible for most people, but their could be economic advantages over the long term. If teens start spending more time in person and have spaces to run away to maybe they'll start having sex again and the population will boom.

Reddit is shooting itself in the foot by effectively banning the tools that moderators use to do their free labor. I'm surprised Reddit didn't take a slower and more gradual approach instead of a drastic change like this. I guess Steve Huffman has IPO fever.

This is very disappointing, and points to a weakness in these kinds of platforms: I can be a passive user of an excellent extension for years, and wake up one morning to discover that my browser has (silently!) upgraded the extension to one controlled by an entity that I don't necessarily trust.

I think it would behoove Firefox and Chrome to change their policies around automatic extension upgrades in these scenarios: if an extension discloses a change in ownership, then upgrades should require user approval. If an extension fails to disclose a change in ownership, then users should be able to report it as malicious.
> It's not okay to make jokes about people when those jokes are actually harmful.

The problem is, what groups are at risk of harm varies around the world-whereas OpenAI’s idea of “alignment” is based on a one-size-fits-all US-centric understanding of that.

You can say “it is okay to make pointed/stereotypical jokes about Christians but not about Jews or Muslims, because the latter are at risk of being harmed by those jokes but the former are not”-but what happens when the user is from Israel or from Egypt?

I wasn't informed of this sale before it occurred, and Avast has a history of stealing and selling user data. I did not produce informed consent for this add-on to continue operating under those conditions. I reported it to Mozilla when I uninstalled the old add-on as stealing user data and I encourage everyone to do the same.
Interesting! TIL there is a Windows desktop application called "Reddit for Blind" that can be used to access Reddit with a screen reader:

There isn't any inherent difference (indeed, you can do some coarse gravity surveys by basically watching the drift of an IMU relative to GPS), but there's a pretty big difference in terms of the parameters of your sensor. Most gravimeters don't make for good accelerometers and vice-versa. One of the biggest reasons being dynamic range: most gravimeters are only able to sense a very small range around 1g, which means they quickly saturate when there's any significant motion. I don't know if that's something which these quantum sensors can work around, however. (Also, you need a gyro good enough to go along with those accelerometers, which may still be a challenge)
I don't believe that for a second. If that's the answer it gave it's cherry picked and lucky. There are many examples where GPT4 fails spectacularly at much simpler reasoning tasks.

I still think ChatGPT is amazing, but we shouldn't pretend it's something it isn't. I wouldn't trust GPT4 to tell me how much fuel I should put in my car. Would you?

>Having power and not freezing to death when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow is a pretty solid point.

Not really. Electricity usage is not actually constant and nuclear power doesn't do load following unless you double the cost again (10x solar's LCOE).

Theres a reason only France tried that - and that is strongly related to the reason why Areva went spectacularly bankrupt.

Theres no reality in which it makes any economic sense except #1 providing military support or #2 a pretend reality where all available storage options are economically infeasible.

I have to say that an ignorant #2 is a pretty anti-climate position to take.
There needs to be a preferences setting sent in the HTTP header to activate high contrast and low motion modes. Just having "dark mode" is not enough.

Not them, but:

- Combining characters, joiners, modifiers, etc. should have been prefix, not suffix/infix, and in blocks by arity. This would have allowed detecting incomplete sequences, allowed code to skip combinations without knowing their meaning, and made dead-key input trivial.

- A standard normalized form should have been specified up front.

- Once blocks overflowed, subsequent blocks should have been made large enough that more that one would not be necessary. Unicode has ten different Latin blocks. You've got ‘Kana Extended-B’, ‘Kana Supplement’, ‘Kana Extended-A’ (in that order!), and ‘Small Kana Extension’. (If there's an explanation for ‘Supplement’ vs ‘Extended’ vs ‘Extension’, I've never seen it.)

- Character ordering is inconsistent even within scripts, e.g. ÀÁÂ… àáâ but ĀāĂăĄą.

- Assigning code points for the UTF-16 encoding is ridiculous.

- The contentious cases of CJK unification should have been disambiguated promptly, before use of the originals became entrenched. (I know where to find 2K code points they could have used…)

- They recently changed some characters to have ‘emoji presentation’ by default, meaning that existing text needs to be edited to preserve its original appearance.
