> Am I missing something in the pricing or is the Storage costs very unappealing

Yes, there's no comparison on the IOPs or anything else and what counts as storage. They all count slightly differently and so unless you account for it all it's a bit moot.

AWS alone has different tiers of storage from HDD to NVME ssd. The pricing varies greatly.

RDS will literally count anything including temporary files as usage of storage. Planetscale claims not to.
I mean automtated driving cars is not simple either. It's not stopping people from trying.
"The DoorDash and Grubhub lawsuit alleges that the new regulation is legally flawed because it targets only meal-delivery services and not grocery-delivery services. It also argues the regulation is legally flawed because it would compel the companies to pay workers for hours that they are available to take orders while logged into the delivery apps, even if they don’t actually make any deliveries."

Ah... welcome to the world of managing FTEs. I managed an army of people with TC of $150-$200K with sr. management breathing down my neck to make sure they're delivering value. Wouldn't it be nice if I could pay them based on product shipped and revenue generated :-/
That's the user and/or user agent inserting those. You can have streamlined email threads without those issues. You just don't top post.

Now, try to do encourage that behavior in a corporate environment, and you'll just get blank stares.
If your dependencys are out of your control then you are incompetent at security, full stop. Wrangling your dependencys and inputs is security and engineering 101. You will not get meaningful security without doing so. Being unable to do a critical part of the job because it is hard is textbook incompetence.

Everybody everywhere in software being totally slipshod on these elementary practices is a big part of why there is no meaningful security anywhere.
People being on Threads doesn't matter if Threads sucks. They'll all just go back to Twitter to wait for the Next Social Media.

>"looking at my Twitter feed is a breath of fresh air after spending 24 hours on Threads. My feed over there is just full of stuff I don’t want to see. Threads just hit 50 million users, but the top complaint is the feed which is the main part of the app"

None of them feel special, they all feel like the same thing. I still think there’s something else out there that will sneak up and take the short form social crown. At least I hope there is.

This! We have DoorDash in Australia but the drivers cannot see whether a tip is added (it usually isnt - because we have minimum wage laws here too).
The stories I hear about them just ignoring the orders because they are shown there is a tip and that tip is not acceptable to them is ridiculous to me, it's a pay to win strategy that has no place in a supposed civil society.

I am fine overpaying (the restaurants need to cover the frankly ridiculous 30%+ fees they charge) AND then a delivery fee on top to sit on my fat ass in my jammies and have delicious food delivered to me. I am not fine with a bidding structure where my food might sit there cold until someone decides that my "tip" is acceptable
At this point is anyone really denying drastic climate change? I think people are just divided into pessimists who don’t think anything can be done, so YOLO, and optimists who think we can fix things via lifestyle changes that the first group might find austere.

Yeah true. Being laid off sucks, but let's just say a few friends I had at Twitter are taking a very nice vacation with no rush to start re-applying. Can't be said about most non-tech jobs experiencing layoffs.
> If this really does add $5 to the cost of every delivery

it wouldn't, because it's an increase in costs, not an increase in prices

if delivery apps choose to increase prices because they want more money, that's their decision: they aren't entitled to exactly the same profit they had before, and if they insist upon it, that's their greed speaking
Please fix the phone verification system. I created two personal accounts a long time ago with the same phone number, and now I can't create a work account with the same number, even if I delete one of them.

Is there a giant difference in complexity between 100 million MAU and 3 billion MAU? It seems like "being present in Andorra" has the complexity, not the order of magnitude more users.

That said, being present in Andorra is probably necessary to get to 3 billion MAU but not 100 million MAU.

Agree 100% with this and your other comments. These frameworks often create risks by obscuring reality behind procedure. Sucking up all the air that would go towards more direct security objectives. Businesses think they are done with cybersecurity because they are done with the checklist. Believing we are safe because a non-technical auditor said so, can be a risky spot. Specially if that is used to overrule subject matter experts.

I've never understood why public opinion is so polarizing on Tailwind.

He don't seem to use the swear factor anywhere. The actual statistical comparison (Table 3.1) is simply mean SoftWipe score of repos with swears (5.87) vs. mean SoftWipe score of repos with 4+ stars (5.41). The increase is due to 2-3 clusters of swear repos with SoftWipe score ~7.5 and ~20k lines of code. It seems like he deduplicated the repos based on URL, not content, and Github could have biased the results returned in the GitHub search, so I wonder if it is simply sample bias.

Any ideas on who will actually build a useful personal assistant?
The actual quote from your link is: "Expect a massively programmable, massively

While I agree that Nvidia positioned themselves well, they were not looking as far forward as you suggest. As I recall it, they seemed surprised by BrookGPU, though they moved quickly to embrace the model.

And there were earlier proto examples of GPU compute that that were completely overlooked: https://web.archive.org/web/20010607021839/http://freespace.... (scroll down to "Optimising with 3D Rendering Hardware")

Tailwind makes a lot of sense for people who are doing componentized UI frameworks where they never write the same markup twice. But if you're actually writing markup in the more "traditional way" where you repeatedly mark semantic elements with classes in order to make them have a certain look and feel (and let CSS do the heavy lifting) then Tailwind is a mess.

In my experience that distinction is the most of the difference between enjoying Tailwind and not.

A reasonable working definition of causality, used by almost all scientists today, is that X causes Y if a change in X, unaccompanied by any other change, changes Y. At root, this is indeed a statement about correlations, but it's a special kind of correlation, which is hard to estimate from observational data where many other things may change along with X.
Uber and Grubhub are fascinating in that they’ve literally provided nothing in NYC that wasn’t already available 50 years ago, other than putting it on an app and taking a 30-40% cut for it while driving their workers to destitution (while making sure they can get away with not calling them workers).

In the post Moore's law era my hunch is that the eventual "winner", if there is one, will be decided based on software not hardware.

So far the main use cases that have pushed the computational performance envelope were hype-driven. In such a climate people will just accept developing costs, lock-in risks etc. as the cost of entering the bubble early enough. In "normalized" conditions the focus shifts back to developer and user productivity and cost-efficiency.

We are slowly entering the commoditised HPC era, but HPC was always a volatile domain precisely because of its highly specialized nature. The broad, general purpose use and (relatively) easy set of tools of the x86 cpu era provided a stability that is unlikely to repeat.

The vector accelerator market is (conceptually) for the CPU vendors to lose because they can create a more productive development environment that unifies CPU/GPU. To paraphrase, users dont care about GPU, they care about performant applications.
Credentialism and signalling are well established. At a broader level it's the old 'correlation vs causation' chestnut. Policymakers notice that people with education earn more, and decide that people should do more education so they too can earn more, but it mostly fails because it wasn't just the education that holds them back. Meanwhile, in a world where everyone is forced to see high school through to graduation the value of a diploma is diminished.

In tech, some companies are increasingly willing to captialise on this by expanding their hiring pool and benefiting from snapping up workers that other companies don't want to hire. So there's some hope it seems that we can break free from the credentialist world that we're in right now.

i saw Tiktok sued a state government too. It is something amazing that only happens in countries like America. In most of other countries, including China, sueing govementment by citizens or private companies is unthinkable and will be faced with severe consequences and in some cases , deaths. This kind of power check is great.
Material sustenance is a prerequisite for any of those things to be considered good rather than distraction. It's not ironic that the reason poor people go to college is to get a better job; it's the result of a society divided by social class. It's the poor imitating the rich in hopes that they can make a living someday. To say the least, it is cruel and unusual.

Do you only use software by people you know? At some point there has to be an element of trust when you run software you downloaded over the Internet. If a small utility maintained by a well-known member of the developer community doesn’t qualify for that trust, then I think that rules out an awful lot of software that all of us here probably use on a day to day basis. This is not an extraordinary level of risk.
That's a cool last minute detour from techno gods. We can incentivize AI to work on crypto mining, and regain our fully engaged primeval lives back ;)

> The reason I had healthcare during grad school was because the union won it right before I joined.

I’m sorry if this is weird, but as someone who also went to UCSC for grad school I found this a bit confusing. So I looked it up and you started at UCSC at 2014, yeah?

UCSC grad students had GSHIP coverage for years before that time. I myself was on it when I joined starting in 2009, and there’s plenty of documentation of fights folks had over trying to get better rates and coverage on GSHIP well before both our times: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/05/13/18415831.php (Which personally I thought was pretty good especially after the expansion of airlift coverage which was an unfortunately common problem for UCSC’s location “over the hill” from many tier 1 emergency rooms.)

Maybe I missed something when I was there 2009-2015. But what did the union representation and bargaining bring to the table there?

From a couple years ago, it doesn’t seem to have resulted in anything close to a reasonable or even livable stipend for a researcher. It was bad when I was in grad school, but I was pretty appalled to hear during the wildcat strikes ten years later that despite the increase in costs there didn’t seem to be that much change in the stipend amounts for graduate researchers. The students who were wildcatting out of frustration seemed to have a pretty good reason IMO.

I think that meets a pretty similar pattern of unions focusing on fighting about healthcare while leaving wages to stagnate over years of price increases, which I guess also applies in many unrepresented UC roles and in dynamics elsewhere. I personally didn’t see much difference between UAW’s representation and not when I was there, but I guess I didn’t have a huge point of comparison.

I hope whatever this new swell of support is provides livable stipends for young researchers though. So I hope I’m either wrong or grad student unions are able to win more in bargaining in the future. :)
>There are a bunch of ways to sync and edit files, but I don't want to spend time or brain power on that

I see what you mean. But at the same time I do have the brainpower to simply remember to save my notes into the "notes" folder, which I then sync into some cloud storage.

Or even just use Google Keep. I'm fine pasting links, copying pictures, and jotting quick notes down. I didn't necessarily need inking support on my end. Condolances to those who did, as well as other features like audio and others I can't remember off the top of my head.
Instagram is the same and probably has been that way since inception.
That's a huge dose of benefit of the doubt you're giving to the Zuck. Do you for a second believe that granting the Zuck access to your Health & Fitness data that he will stop at just getting the information to geolocate you or would it be more like "let's just suck in all of the data we are given access to and then maybe at a later date we can use it beyond what we originally needed"?

I remember some food delivery app’s ad during the NBA playoffs, and the whole thing was about how the guy would always order a pizza before his game because he had formed a good luck ritual with the delivery guy.

And the first, most obvious thing that struck me was that delivery apps make this impossible, since they assign random delivery guys every time! The pre-delivery middleman days of restaurants employing their own delivery people was when this could actually have worked.
Yeah, where I live the taxi is a flat rate $40 to downtown from the airport vs $100-150 on rideshare.

Delivery apps can exist without GrubHub just like taxi apps exist without Uber.
Until someone provides explanation for exactly what that does mean, how is anyone to know that it is an "incorrect" interpretation?
There is a related problem for Twitter which reminds me of the Altavista/Google days.

Zuckerberg has said that they won't run ads until there is a credible path to 1 billion users.

So for a year or more it will be Threads with no ads. And Twitter with according to their newly hired CEO "full-screen, sound-on" ads.
Despite the author's 40 years in education he still doesn't get it. Education is an end in itself not a job qualification. You can only grok this if you have lived in a country in which higher education is/was fully funded by the state. As soon as it becomes a cost/benefit exercise the original ideal behind education is lost and subjects such as Philosophy, Literature and History appear to be a waste of time and money. Ironically, when higher education in the UK was fully-funded by the state the resulting degrees, regardless of the subject(s) studied, were far more valuable in the job market than the more vocational degrees which today saddle students with £50k of debt. A society which doesn't value education as an investment is a society in decline. The same can also be said about a nation's health service.

SimpleLogin has been working great for a long while. I originally self-hosted but for $30/year I said it’s not worth screwing around with all the other services I host.
Get yourself a domain and wildcard all emails to a trash gmail or even your primary as it’s extremely easy to turn off the incoming email. You can do it straight from gmail or iOS messages (I’m sure any email client) because SimpleLogin generates automatic unsubscribe headers.
The UI is also nice and the browser plug-in is helpful because it can record what site you created the trash address for. It also integrates with my password manager BitWarden. 10/10.

It has really changed my web habits for the better. I can sign up for anything with zero repercussions and I don’t have to deal with it possibly not working like with temp mail services.

> Where in the statute does it say this?

Generally speaking, in Section 108:

> (…) under the conditions specified by this section, if—

> (1) the reproduction or distribution is made without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage;

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/108

If, however, you were the copyright owner and were to (ab)use a library as a copy shop, the entire section does not apply, since it's about a special (but limited) exemption from copyright regulations for library copies. (The section starts with, "Except as otherwise provided in this title and notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement of copyright for a library or archives, or any of its employees acting within the scope of their employment, to reproduce…") Mind that this is not about the use of library hardware, its's about a legal framework for libraries to provide copies of copyrighted material to library users.

(Still, you may encounter other difficulties, like the library deciding that they are not a copy shop, or that they won't exceed the legal limit of 3 copies as provided under Section 108 anyways, which wouldn't work out that great for producing a pamphlet… Maybe, there's a statute for this, but this is another topic.)
