Depends on your definition of "coexist". I for one would rather go extinct than exist as a chicken on a modern-day chicken farm. Of course, it's only the "lucky" female chickens that get to exist - the male chicks go straight to the shredder.
Excellent video. Definitely worth the 2 minutes to watch.

Here's a good one on how to escape a rip. Beware of blindly swimming parallel, as you could be swimming against the rip as it turns back to the beach:

That just sounds like React Native with extra steps.
The founders of Remote (Leo Fernekes and two other partners, Kevin Centanni and Bob Stratton) were some of the funding, and they partnered with a local family who owned and ran a bunch of (very successful) dive bars in the East Village. There may have been other funding too but I think that was the majority of it.
There's a school of thought presented in David Chang's documentary where we're going to be one of the last generations to consume wild bluefin tuna. Because we've industrialized fishing them at this point.

The financial incentives are too powerful to turn down, each one can come in at $20 to $5,000 Per Pound. A single tuna is tens of thousand, if not hundreds of thousands on the market.

On the consumer side (CA/NY) anything Ahi Tuna-related is going to fly off the shelf, even with premium mark up prices.

I'm not sure where we go from here. Maybe a shift in community values? It's trending higher and higher online too, which probably correlates with consumption - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=a...
Sure, google didn't capitalize on their tech before others did.

But google is a fast follower. Let's wait and see.

Also - did you miss "many other internally used tools/infra" part - if they can feed ads infra and increase revenue by a meager 1%, that's more than enough to make up for all others combined in revenue generated.
> it's also worthwhile to break the shopping side of the business up to, into amazon eCommerce platform, amazon the seller of goods, Amazon logistics, and amazon fulfillment services as well

It's unclear how sustainable these parts are on their own. The incrementalist move would be to sever the money spigot that is AWS from the lower-margin parts.
I think Google's position is much more worrisome. As others have already mentioned, with Amazon, you can always go to Walmart or other retailers. In many cases, these days I find myself using the manufacturer's website and purchasing directly from them to avoid counterfeits.

Google (err Alphabet) is so completely dominant in search (93.125 world marketshare) and video (97.42%), and not far behind in mobile operating systems (70.89%) [and I found both of these numbers by using Google]. Of course marketshare on its own is not a particularly strong argument for breaking a company up, but Google could be a lot more evil than Amazon, if it wanted to.
I wonder if that was my comment.
I fell in love with that game
The article is in Danish, but apparently until 1917 it was normal to be super drunk at work: so much so that many factory workers would drink half a bottle of booze before lunch and the rest after lunch + whatever beers was normally drunk.

In 1917 the taxes on booze went sky high and the drinking crashed, but it wasn't unusual to be drunk at work.

I found this article a bit hard to follow, though it's an interesting topic.

The constantly changing units of consumption, historical timing, changes between daily and annual rates of consumption and similar made it difficult to understand exactly the point that was being made.

The author dug up a lot of data and put it together, but didn't going the extra step of unifying things in a way that's easy to understand.

I kept having to convert the units they were using to units I could understand, and since those units weren't constant, it's difficult to get an overall impression.

But, a few examples I did convert to amounts of drinking I understand:

* In Florence in 1455, someone (IDK if this is an average, an individual, a certain class of people or what?) drank 250L of wine in a year. That's about .9 modern size bottles of wine per day. A good amount, but I expect if you were practiced at it and drank it fairly evenly throughout the day, you certainly wouldn't appear drunk.

* In the medieval city of Ghent, the apparent average per person annual consumption was ~40-liters wine and ~1300-liters beer. That works out to basically 7.5 pints (16oz, or the size of one of the tall cans of that craft beer often comes in in the US) of beer every day, and a quite small glass of wine. Depending on how strong the beer was (doesn't specify if this was small ~5% or strong ~12% beer), I expect even a practiced drinker would be quite tipsy after close to 8 pints and a touch of wine every day.

* Sailors got a ration of 8 pints of strong (13% ABV) beer a day, which would have me absolutely knocked off my feet. 3 pints of what I think of as strong beer (~6-8%) in any kind of close succession and I'm definitely feeling tipsy, and shouldn't be let anywhere near something so complex as rigging. Though, after reading a few books on naval life aboard 16th century British sailing ships, perhaps being totally out of it for as much of the journey as possible would be a solid survival tactic.

* The "historical average" (IDK what period of history, or how average) beer consumption was around 380 liters per person per year. That's just over 2.2 pints per person per day. A long way from "being drunk all the time", even if it was higher ABV strong beer (and it certainly wasn't all high ABV).

Certainly, people seemed to have drunk much more in the past than they do today, but it's hard to make clear conclusions when the units are all over the place.
Just for reference korova is russian for cow.
This is addressed quite extensively in the article, and the symptoms described are natural symptoms of diabetes. Since this was a diabetes only drug up until recently, it might explain why this didn’t end up on the drug’s sheet, even though the effects (vomiting) are listed.

One of the examples in the article was only taken of the drug after a doctor noticed a pattern with other patients he was treating, that were taking the same drug.

One should not ignore the financial incentives here. With the obesity problem only getting worse, a miracle drug like this would make sure it’s creators will be able extremely rich
I love the game but didn't like the dlc, especially the dark part...
ChatGPT and GitHub copilot have changed my life. I ask ChatGPT what's the next domain/area that is ripe for disruption. ChatGPT is very smart, it replies instantly. I then instruct copilot to go code me a MVP for this chosen area. Copilot isnt as fast as ChatGPT, but it does deliver. By the time I go out, watch some movies, then take a walk on the beach and am back, the MVP is ready and I unleash it on VCs who shower me with money. And now with the newly introduced FedNow money transfer facility, I get the money instantly.

Before ChatGPT and copilot, I could hardly go out for movies during the day. And beach? Only during weekends :(
The way I interpreted it wasn’t “this should be expected” but that this repo isn’t actually maintained or used for legitimate purposes. It simply exists for publicity purposes.

What’s in the Subway Water That Drips on Your Head?
Just a bystander but you just quoted this:
> My whole premise is that it doesn’t have better than human intelligence. Everyone glosses over how we go from ChatGPT 4 failing its own unit tests to geometrically self-improving hyper-intelligence.

Then did exactly what the quote is talking about, assuming we achieve better than human intelligence.
> But you seem to think there's some barrier that means that even if it was a better-than-human programmer (implicitly for general-intelligence reasons), it wouldn't be able to geometrically self-improve.

The question is how exactly do we go from a below human intelligence to an above human intelligence. Without a clear path to that reality, making trade offs in order to protect against low probability worse case scenarios which require it doesn’t look like a good deal.

The reality that right now human level intelligences have a hard time even keeping these below human intelligence systems operating seems like a useful checkpoint. Maybe we can hold off on doing distasteful things like consolidating control until they can at least wipe their own bottoms as it were.
Up until about 1973, when worker productivity rose, the wages rose in lockstep. Since then, worker productivity is up about 2.4x but wages have remained stagnant.

yeah, such a silly myth. People have known you can make water safe by boiling since forever. This myth also often dispelled along "they drank it for safety and didn't get very drunk because it was very week beer" like they couldn't just drink more of it until they got as drunk as they wanted.
This was my main criticism as well, but not anymore.

With the "prebuild" workflow you can regenerate your iOS and Android projects anytime you need. And set up scripts for adding external libraries in the process.

It is more work to set up over just altering the native projects, but the result is rather nice.

I've never felt 100% confident that react native project folders wouldn't break for arbitrary reasons. Being able to so easily start over is very useful.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I can tell you that I remember the era of people having drinks at lunch as a matter of routine. As a lifelong teetotaler I never saw that it helped anything, however. Except I suppose releasing inhibitions. But I have to admit I generally don’t enjoy people when they’re in that state.

Also I always enjoyed my jobs. I was perfectly happy to talk about work during lunch hour. And booze didn’t improve the discourse any.
A pie chart could serve a similar purpose, but can be much easier to interpret. I like this interactive pie chart for profiling Webpack bundle size. I've used it several times at work to help find and reduce bloat in our bundles.

Historically, how did people make higher ABV drinks? It's my understanding that most "wild yeast" will die off at around 5-6% ABV. Were people cultivating and sharing yeasts capable of surviving higher ABVs, or am I misunderstanding?
It’s amazing how inept FTC is to target the one company that feels least like a monopoly. Amazon has no pricing power. If they increase prices customers will leave to Target, Walmart etc. in fact every single one of amazon businesses has a lot of competitors that customers can move to.

Google on the other hand is the dictionary definition of a monopoly. Microsoft Windows is a monopoly for consumer desktops. Apple is an annoying brand based monopoly that also made it the most valuable company to ever exist.

What is the FTC trying to tell companies, using low prices to get as much market share as possible is illegal but having a technical edge that makes you the only player is completely fine?
I’ve taken one of the drugs in that class and it works great. I think people get hung up on the fact that you can buy thinness now, and that rubs people the wrong way because it’s always been the one thing you can’t buy, that it must come from discipline alone, but now you can and nothing is sacred anymore.

I wonder if there were some vice that degraded eyesight, that LASIK would be frowned upon.
The article didn’t have any quotes and was apparently unable to source anything direct
> There's a school of thought presented in David Chang's documentary where we're going to be one of the last generations to consume wild bluefin tuna. Because we've industrialized fishing them at this point.

I'd like to see some stats to back this up, considering the IUCN has taken the bluefin off its "red list," and even a brief Wikipedia search seems to indicate that the recent application of regional fishing quotas is having its desired effect, though apparently some local populations are struggling.
Ejecting is no longer required with EAS (Expo Application Services) build. You can bring in your own native dependencies and still use Expo without ejecting.

I use it for the Rust (video game) companion app, using the stock libraries bundled within Expo so development is a breeze.

The chickens we farm aren't the same as the red junglefowl that was domesticated 8000 years ago.
At the beginning was not easy, is like -for me- to listen a podcast in English and read text in Italian. You need to get a bit used to it, the important thing is that I don’t “listen/follow” really the news in Italian when I’m developing in English, I only keep it in background as “a companion voice”.

I’ve always built analytics daily by default, and certain metrics real-time - via a different system - only when a compelling and permanent use case exists (except operational analytics). I mean something like YouTube view counter/likes or delivering order count/total as a b2b2c so your customers can watch their promotions in real-time. Major bonus, you have the super complicated, hard to maintain, real-time system to point to when someone wants everything real-time but invested the minimum possible.

Typically, `du -h . | sort -hr | head -n10` is more than sufficient to identify the large files for me to consider. Yes, it can be redundant, but I can't think of any time it hasn't helped me get the data I need.

I'll note that the visualizations are neat. And I certainly want to like them. But I also almost always need to know the name of the files more than anything, as it can help me decide how important a file is. If I'm impatient, I can add a `-d3` to the beginning.

If it comes to this then desktop Linux will go from viable Windows alternative to obscure hobby OS overnight. The inconvenience factor of having your life split between two devices is just too high.

It seems easy to imagine a universe in which dark matter, particles or otherwise, have literally no interactions with regular matter except via gravitation.

All the efforts to spot such an interaction seem to be based purely on wishing that it is not true, so that fancy expensive detectors can defensibly be promoted and somebody might get a prize. It seems of a piece with string theory. Maybe astrophysics, like particle physics, has lost its way, and needs to return to investigating phenomena that answer to experiment. Solar photosphere physics has yet to be elucidated in any detail. Jupiter's liquid-electrolyte moons orbit well within its magnetosphere. And planetary nebulae favor a long axis parallel to the galactic plane. Lots of crunchy physics has yet to be done, even without descending to low-status solid-phase phenomena.

On a completely different note: why does the author think a dark star would necessarily explode before turning into a black hole? A rotating pair of black holes seems like an efficient way to sweep up billions of solar masses of perfectly serviceable mass, and dynamical friction with it seems like a nice way to bleed off momentum.

Such is the nature of the work world. Some people are naturally attracted to spending hours doing thier favourite thing and wish they could do it all they time. It doesn't mean they are not good at other things. Sometimes it's just a pay cheque. Everything doesn't have to be a crusade. Dare I say there is no such thing as good programming, it's really a matter of how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. Otherwise everyone who desires to be good would be coding in ASM instead of oop.
You seem to believe that code will be able to be written in natural language?

Many people argue this will never happen because of ambiguity of spoken language. I suppose you will agree that the level of ambiguity in spoken language will never decrease significantly give that it does not seem to have done so over the course of human evolution.

IF you do believe it will decrease - how?

I agree there will probably be thought -> computer interfaces at some time but it seems to me, from what I understand of human thought, that the non-verbal thought can be even more ambiguous than the verbal. It at any rate varies greatly between people how precise they can think, surely some people will be more suited to precise thinking and be the ones who write programs - perhaps using some sort of tool to focus and make more precise their thinking such as writing which I have found is often a great enabler of focus and clarity.

If however you can agree that ambiguity will not decrease what does this do about inherent bugs introduced by ambiguity, how do you see the debugging process? Do you think that the ambiguity of spoken language creates more and greater bugs than the sort of bugs that occur today in programs? I personally believe that ambiguity bugs will be a whole new order of bugs layered on top of all the other types of bugs we have now.

Thus, due to the problems of ambiguity in human thought, I do not believe this vision will come to pass, although I believe there will be spoken instructions to computers that do particular things.
Some of the numbers seem unreal. Earlier this week I drank 3 beers (1,5L) which is an exception (i mostly do not drink at all) and the next day I had to take sick leave.

Now you’re just falling back on bluster. You’re not even making claims anymore.

You may as well argue that height isn’t a scientific metric because some people have longer legs and others have longer torsos so clearly any single height metric is meaningless. It’s pure flimflammery.

In any event it’s pretty clear that your beliefs on the subject of intelligence are not evidence based, so I don’t think further discussion will be intellectually satiating for either of us.
I can never remember how to spell or pronounce this word.
I believe the situation with this has improved. Before EAS you needed to target one of the more recent SDK versions or you wouldn't be able to build using their services. However, if your app is new (or upgraded) enough to use EAS now then you don't get locked out of building anymore.

But still, upgrading SDK versions to stay on top of security/new features can be a burden with how many breaking changes there are.
Medieval beer was used in place of water and was rated at 2% or less. That was the beer people would drink 1300 liter per year. It was the common way to sanitize water, as the river was the source of clean water and the dumpster for dirty water at the same time.
> The problems comes when you want to do something very slightly unusual.

That's exactly what I said. Main services are more or less stable, but there are edge cases in smaller services if you want to do something unusual.
Not bad. Some thoughts from me, in no way a rebuttal of the author's personal experiences:

1. Somatopsychic phenomenon is a thing. In other words some medical conditions have mental/emotional fallout as a side effect. Anxiety can be due to high adrenaline. Causes can include low blood sugar, allergic reaction, withdrawal.

2. Jealousy is not about what other people have. It's about what I lack.

3. Righteous anger is a force for good in this world. Anger is energy for action and depression is either exhaustion or a response of hunkering down to ride out the storm. Depending on the type of threat, sometimes hunkering down is the best practice and sometimes girding your loins for battle is the best response.
I think https://twitter.com/Twitter works better.

It's actually really difficult to get drunk off of weak beer (about 2%), you quickly reach a pain point when it hurts to drink more liquid. And I suspect the dilution also slows uptake.
For what it's worth, this same practice seems to occur on the marketplace side of Amazon as well.

I don't know of anything definitive, but there's a lot of anecdotal evidence out there of Amazon swooping into well selling items and crushing the original merchants.

They'd have to be using internal sales data to pick winning products... and possibly even built the Amazon Basics brand off this.
That's a good clarification.
