Huh, TIL. Looked it up and they loosened up the regulations last year to permit growing poppies for personal use. It's bizzare given that poppy seeds are a very common ingredient in our cakes and pastries.
> Hiding a scroll bar when you go below some arbitrary document height that would classically warrant a scroll bar is just confusing.

No it's not because you OPT INTO this feature and could change the document height from arbitrary to a threshold where using your wheel is uncomfortable (and that would depend on your device, e.g., with infinite Logitech scroll wheel that length is much bigger since it's very easy to scroll large distances)

> People who use a mouse to scroll will not know what to do and assume there is a bug.

No they won't because they'd OPT INTO this feature

> And sometimes you want scrollbar level control even on a short document

I never do, but then there are also solutions for this that don't involve some narrow understanding of the principle of least surprise

> It is not forcing them to use the scrollbar

But it is forcing them to clutter UI/waste space by not allowing to hide the scrollbar in most frequent use cases

I deleted Boost app from my phone, to not mindlessly open it. Coincidentally Boost is an alternative app to access Reddit through their API.

Luckily I don't use reddit from my laptop, due to to horrible experience. So no muscle memory to trick me into visiting.
The blackout made me aware how much I visited reddit. And a lot less reddit is probably a good thing. Am gonna lurk more than actively participate probably.
> Not knowing the answer to the most obvious question is mildly embarrassing, to say the least

Whether Ethereum is a security is far from obvious. Had Gensler acted like it was, he would have lost credibility. In any case, it's irrelevant to Coinbase, who weren't charged in relation to their Bitcoin or Ether trading.

> how shall all these crypto exchanges have known (better than the SEC) that A, B or C are a commodity but D or E aren't

The SEC released The DAO Report in 2017 laying out a framework [1]. This is when crypto's lobbying stepped up; the status quo was clear. They wanted a different one.

> while the world is watching China toying with Ethereum

China has banned crypto since 2021 [2]. BOCI's $30mm placement in Hong Kong through UBS is interesting, but far from a belwether [3]. (UBS Tokenize has been selling digital assets to wealth management clients in Hong Kong and Singapore for a while.)

That's inaccurare: qryn does not require SQL at all . It offers LogQL, PromQL, Tempo and other customizable APIs natively by design without requiring the user to know/learn anything.

About the easier aspect that's true - qryn is designed to be an "overlay" on top of various backends such as ClickHouse and IOx (pros and cons for each up to the user) and to provide full granular data control to the underlying set (compliance, gdpr, etc) rather than an all-in-one solution with its own proprietary formats.
I think non.io is significantly more accessible and less fringe than stacker.news, which is very heavy on the "love crypto" thing and appears to be a bastion for fairly fringe right-wing thinking. It's so coloured by cultural dogma I would at least not join it out of hand, until it becomes a little more palatable. The people there are not inviting.

> I don't think that a place with this much toxicity can rightly be called egalitarian.

You don't make a village by welcoming anyone and everyone. An egalitarian country with strict immigration laws and rampant racism towards foreigners is still egalitarian within its own populace. Likewise, simply because people who disagree with 4chan's abrasive culture don't feel welcome there doesn't make it any less egalitarian within itself.
> Half of this very thread is saying that China intentionally released this virus?

I was being slightly hyperbolic. A good chhunk outright said it, another good group was using plausible deniability, which means if pressed they might say thats not what they meant. Makes separating them quite hard

> Are you unable to distinguish that assertion from the assertion that the engineered weapon was intentionally deployed?

I am not. The issue is not that either. The issue is "The origin of COVID-19".

When it came out two main theories appeared. Either the wet market where it was first noticed, or a lab leak in a lab over an hour away that was studying coronaviruses.

The two were studied by the scientific community, china put a lot of hurdles and the best availeble evidence pointed towards the wetmarket.

While this was happening, a number of conspiracies started, many of which pointed towards China as a bioweapons manufacturer (something that is very illegal). Those theories included that china was not studying viruses but manufacturing them (that is a very key distinction) and the theoreis then spawn over if China leaked it to test it, or infected its own population etc. Theories adjacent to this were heavily repeated by a number of news outlets, mayorly OAN a far right news station. The great smoke screen was that when pressed they could always fall back on "the lab leak theory" which is way more sensible.

Essentially the problem is the lab leak theory meant two very different things. It should have been called the accident leak and the bio weapon theory, but both were called lab leak and people who mean bioweapon hide behind the larger, more defensible lab leak umbrella.

> I don't think it's that hard to a learn a little bit of AWS.

It's a lot more complicated than anything reasonable about deploying a webapp. Any shared hosting solution or deployment platform (think fly/shuttle) will be cheaper and easier to reason about. Even selfhosting on a rented VM or dedicated server and configuring auto-updates and maintenance windows will be much easier.

By going to netlify/AWS you are now tying the destiny of your app to two megacorps, doubling the risk of downtime (and cloud uptime is certainly not as good as dedicated) and other bugs.
I don't have a horse in this fight, but, isn't your criticism only valid if he is gaining wealth at a significantly faster rate than he is giving it away?

I think we can both agree that if he gives away more than he makes in ad revenue, he won't be able to keep doing that for long. And hopefully we both agree that if he's able to make back roughly equal to what he gives away, there's no problem there either? At that point he's basically a non-profit. It's only really an issue if he's giving away 1 million and pocketing 10 million, right?

Or is that not quite it either? Because what if he's able to invest that 10m such that the next video gives away 5m and pockets 50m?

My question is, where is the line between being a force for good vs bad, given that his philanthropic potential can grow along with his profits, and he seems to have a track record of doing so? Is it when he starts making 100m but is still only giving away 5m? I have no idea what the actual numbers are, maybe he's already well beyond that point, and now he's just investing his profits into PR to make himself look like a good guy .
CDKTF feels like a giant hack (yes, used it).

No everything is available vs TF HCL, it uses CDK from AWS CDK and tries to bridge things to TF have codegen. There’s a lot of weird corner cases and inconveniences. It even uses React under the hood.

Pulumi at least takes care of it better. Maybe not perfectly but better.

No it isn't as it is true on this site and the truth hurts and bleeds your eyes doesn't it? Obviously people like you can't stand it due to your highly emotional reaction.

> You only care about crypto because you invested in it.

Please.

Speculating on a stablecoin which the Stellar and Moneygram use case is for sending stable currencies for worldwide payments cheaply and instantly is hardly useful as an 'investment'.

> Please tell me how much volunteer work you have put in for food relief or refugee causes then tell me how much money you have put into crypto and then let's see if you can claim the moral high ground.

I can tell that people like you complaining have about it here isn't a solution to helping the refugees such as the ones in Ukraine for example or any of the help they need or anything close to a solution, whilst others are providing a solution today. [0]

So this is indeed a great crypto use case that you yourself realise that it works.

Replacing Reddit with Lemmy is like giving Meth to a cocaine addict.
I was tempted to delete my previous comment about how I “blew up my life” because I realized that I really wasn’t as bold as I thought I was.

I kept my above average paying job working at BigTech where I was able to work remotely. I only officially moved one state away where I stay half the year while traveling the other half, and I had assets to fall back on.

I didn’t sell my other house, I rented out to my son and two of his friends we had known forever. I had assets. I didn’t “burn the boats”.

But I’m going to let it stand.

I once thought of a way to fix journalism, which is broken mainly because --IMHO-- it's paid by media, who are often (aspiring) big corps, and thus act accordingly.

My idea was to to allow tax-free tipping of journalists when their pieces meet certain standards, like: freely available, freely re-distributable, non-commercial, registered in some central db, and allows (and should be) amended/retracted in case it contained false hoods.

The tips go through a central system that adds up the total, and that total should be shown on the original place the article/video/piece was posted: this should help others to see that "self published journalism" pays and thus recruit new journalists along the way.

It was just an idea...
I think you're dangerously conflating opium and poppy just like people sometimes conflate cannabis and hemp.

I can't speak for all of Europe but here's how it works in Germany: Poppies aren't banned, poppies that can be used to produce opioids ("opium poppies") are. Likewise hemp isn't banned in most of Europe, hemp that has a high THC content is. Actually hemp is more strictly controlled (e.g. you need a license to grow hemp at all and high THC hemp is banned outright) whereas you'll find poppies grow by the wayside or sold at florists - unthinkable for hemp. In Germany (like Poland) poppy seeds are also a staple for bread and sweet pastries, so you'll find them in the baking section of most supermarkets (tho they're likely no good for growing).

Also a fun fact: poppy seeds can set off drug tests so if you know you are going to take one, it's recommended you don't eat anything with poppy seeds in it and if you did, you're supposed to inform the person performing the test because it will skew the results. There are trace amounts of opium in regular poppies even though it's not enough to use them to produce actual opium.

Anecdotally, my grandmother told me that when she was a child it was considered normal to douse a knotted rag in hard liquor and let fussy babies suckle on that.
Not having offline backups with discrete data it's a recipe for a future disaster.
The Onion clearly takes the former reading in their piece. I mean, it's barely subtext:

- "I wanted to live all my internalized misogyny"

- "Replenishing the white race is a full time job in itself"

- "A feminist cut me off in traffic once"

- "I believe in choosing a marital structure from an arbitrary point in human history and pretending it represents some kind of inviolable rule.”

But if you find value in juxtaposing these two, more power to you.
That last sentence is just not true, I think it's okay to deeply respect someone with a BUSINESS MODEL (because it is what it is) that's based on helping others for views. Let's say he stopped doing it and just worked a shitty job and gave all his money, being then a true altruist, the impact he'd have on the lifes of people would be far lower than the one he's having now.

Yes the media overhypes his actions as some sort of altruism god, as they do with everything, but that doesn't take away that he came up with a model that feeds on helping people, and that alone deserves my respect.
The second part of the sentence that you left out seems to be the significant clause
Because then you don't have to switch to a different technology if you want to have the same content for print.

It's pretty useful.
I've been wondering for awhile now - what was ever the benefit to building these things in Python, other than pytorch and numpy being there to experiment on in hobbyist ways? There's no way that a serious AI is really going to be built in a scripting language, is there? Once you know what you actually want it to do, you're definitely going to rebuild it as close to the metal as you can, right?

Not to mention, to really protect source code and all the sugar around the training systems, it's going to be a good investment to get out of hobby land and manage your own memory and just code them in C/C++.

It strikes me that the hobby AI ethos aligns very well with scripting languages in that they both assume the availability of endless resources to push things a little dirtier and messier and see if anything interesting emerges. Which is great for hobby AI. It's probably not the future, though, unless resource availability outpaces the imagination of people to write more and more bloated scripts to accomplish what's already been proven.
> when I occasionally need to wfh I just use a laptop on my couch or dining table and I would love it to replace that

The most important part of a WFH setup is desk + chair. That's where the comfort is, much more so than a big screen - which is certainly nice.

Desk + chair is what takes up space though. Once that space is taken, a big monitor is just something you put on it.

As excited I am about this new tech, which looks fantastic from the ad, I don't think it will replace a comfortable desk + chair setup.
> This is the absolutely critical point that people are either too privileged to have ever thought of, or too disingenuous to admit.

You are also too privileged to think anyone might not be offended by those words, or even allow them the chance to speak for themselves. The banning of r/2balkan4u was a great exercise in the White Man's Burden of freeing the poor helpless "minorities" from Balkan inside jokes
My understanding from reading this is that a 3090 GPU is 2x speedup over a decent modern CPU. Is that really the case, or am I reading it wrong? My initial thought was that it would be far higher.

The provided video description and pinned comment where added after my comment. Please be more careful with your sarcasm.

As for the Wikipedia source, if you read the full article (it's not too big, give it a try) it can be interpreted differently from "fighting for the same cause as the group" compared with "volunteering to join forces with the group" when put side by side with the OP's statement that I asked sources for. One thing is to do a one off action in association with a specific group, another is to fully volunteer towards the group. Hence why I wanted more sources to disambiguate the word "volunteer".

Personal boycotts don't have to have a large impact or meaning outside of however you feel about them. They're just for you: you can decide to allow your principles affect your economic activity or you can default into the powerless assumption that it's not worth the effort.

I think it's a worthwhile exercise to ask yourself before you make a purchase somewhere that you feel OK with the ethical implications of your purchase - and I say this as someone who does compromise on my ethical positions constantly for convenience. It still matters.
>Mr. Beast built his channel by taking all profits from each video and plying it into the next video. Using this approach he was able to produce progressively larger and more expensive videos.

Had to point out that keeping pornographic and sexually explicit material out
of school libraries is entirely within the reasonable realm of authority of
school boards and has nothing to do with freedom of speech, which the phrase
"book banning" implies.

Had to point out that pornography isn't what's being banned. Unless you consider titles like "Anne Frank's Diary", "Beloved", "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Slaughterhouse-Five", "Stamped from the Beginning: the Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America", "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl", or "Race and Policing in Modern America" to be pornographic, in which case you've got some seriously unusual kinks.

Schools don't usually make a habit of putting pornography in their libraries, (much to my surprise) not even in Florida.

You can also use Terraform with a programming language ie CDKTF so the Terraform choice doesn’t make it simpler.

This kind of sounds like me. My life has been blown up voluntarily and otherwise. These include multiple immigrations, career changes and most recently quitting my well paying job with nothing lined up.

Not all of them worked out. But I don’t think I regret any of them. Though I think this was much easier because I was not married. Nowadays I do have to think about people nearby when I try to blow up my life.

Also, I’ve found myself starting to yearn for some stability after all these years of change. It would be nice to put my roots down and join or cultivate nice communities.

Basically, Gensler is throwing them a bone. Ethereum is very obviously a security but the SEC decided it has been too long since the ICO, it's too big and too decentralized to now go after it. Pretending not to know if Ethereum is a security is a gift from the SEC to the crypto industry and crypto folks should probably shut up about this asap before the SEC feels their gift isn't appreciated.
