I might be wrong in my impression and am keen to hear how other users of the tool assess the situation at Airbyte, but I'm sad to say that the high hopes I had for the company 1-1.5 years back have rather dwindled than materialized.

I don't know what it is, some people bring up the crazy valuation, but it just strikes me that a for such a targeted use case their execution game was great initially, but by now when discussing integration tools they are receiving quite some critique with regards to speed, stability and configurability.

It sure seems to me their OSS offering has not received much love while their cloud product is not close to peer functionality (missing custom connectors being a huuuuge one as of two months ago). All the connectors in the world ain't worth much if the core platform to run them on isn't stable, slow or doesn't support all of a company's data sources, inevitably containing long tail ones not covered by the core team?

Am I being overly negative here?

I'd love to hear what others think.
This is why I like Gibson's future as outlined in his "Jackpot" trilogy...it's basically very very groovy for the survivors.

It's not jelousy as much as it is disappointment. People want to believe the #1 on FOrbes is the super smart theoretical physicist who could solve the mysteries of the Universe but decided to make money instead.

It's such a bitter feeling for people when they realize it's mostly all luck and surviorship bias, because they immediately think at what it means for their own ambitions: you can get smarter and work harder, you cannot get any luckier.

So they come to hate the person who exposed them to the hard truth.
On the margins it may not be useful, but for the "average" person, it is definitely useful. I'd suggest there is no one with a BMI of 30 (besides people with a ton of muscle) that is at a healthy weight. Its a gut check, which is what is helpful.

For those who would like to know what they are getting into before digging into a 20k+ words article: the article is an account by Howard Morland of the history of the H Bomb, the need for openness in nuclear research, and his personal experience when challenging the government for trying (and failing) to censor an article of his explaining how such a bomb could be built.

That particular thing was not intentional, and is the reason why the (same color in person, different material) command wrap uniform that is supposed to be color-matched to the made-as-green uniforms isn’t on screen.

But, yes, in general inaccurate color reproduction can be intentionally manipulated with planning to intentionally create appearances in photos that do not exist in reality.
An example of rejecting outside demands is seeking out work environments where I can cooperatively seek out tasks, rather than having someone try to order me to do what they want me to do. If I encounter someone who wants to order me around, I'll ignore if possible. And if not possible, I'll change jobs before complying.

Trying to do things because someone is pushing me to do them will result in my becoming resentful, and losing my ability to get into an effective state of flow. But enough places in tech provide enough flexibility that I've been able to find places where I can be productive. And, in a virtuous cycle, productivity can make all sorts of oddities acceptable in an employee.

As for emotional dysregulation, let me address that. ADHD is caused by weak executive function. People with ADHD are slow to realize that we SHOULD do X, and the SHOULD is fairly weak. Therefore it becomes hard to resist emotions telling us we want to do Y instead.

I have two tools to address that.

The first is that at a purely emotional level, I strive to be fairly balanced. I work to address things that cause me negative emotions, like resentment, so that I don't have negative emotions to fight against.

The second is that I attach my "shoulds" to my understanding of what I actually want and care about. As a result the idea "I should X" is reinforced by a DESIRE to do X. And this emotional reinforcement makes it easy to do it.

Ironically, it is always easier to motivate myself in the short term with negative emotions. But the effect of doing so is a breakdown of the positive feedback loop that I'm using to maintain myself. Thus forcing myself only works for a limited time, and then falls apart. And so that short-term solution is toxic for me. I suspect that it is toxic for most people - but my ADHD makes it harder to deal with for me.

That said, everything that I do for me involves doing the opposite of what society pushes me towards. This makes for an interesting balancing act.

Luckily I'm tall and decent looking and do fine for myself, but I still have a gut feeling for reality.

Regarding the beauty.. idk what to tell you. Same reason why some people hold onto their first car, or a car they bought new and love it. Or restore old cars. But if you buy an old beat up car, you use it while you can and move on when you feel like it. Nostalgia and memories are important to many people.

rationalist communities, and are quite aligned on our approaches towards life, growth, partnerships and relationships.

Of course, not all feedback was positive. The main concern that many people had, were that Mati and I were attempting to transactionalize a personal relationship. Of course, this was very far from our intension.

Our project’s goal is simply to create an incentive structure to help our friends (and their friends) link together 2 intelligent, empathetic, driven, and adventurous humans.

Dude you are transactionalizing, capitalistifying and consumerizing your 'planned partnership' to the effing eff. Claiming you don't is like claiming the Earth is flat.
Amazing work! It was be interesting to create a 'spatial viewer' that could navigate around the object, rather than just watching the object rotate in front of you. If theres a background scene, then the object of interest could be extracted and three-dimensionalized, while keeping the background scene flat. Then the viewer could move around the object while maintaining (at least a flat version of) the background.

The return of smart meters: why India must get it right
It's not an anecdote, it's physics.

EPA created a repeatable test where the car runs at a certain speeds, most likely without wind resistance.

If you drive faster, the car will use more energy per mile therefore will have lower range than the EPA estimate.

If you drive slower, they car will use less energy per mile therefore will have higher range than the EPA estimate.

If there's head or side wind, the car will use more energy => lower range.

Someone drove Model 3 for 606 miles, at extremely low speeds: https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/29/17405906/tesla-model-3-hy...

Under the challenge system, your friend pays a dime for the call, providing an incentive for you to return that money unless you want to be inconsiderate.

For other callers, like businesses, if the recipient does not mark the call as legitimate, they have the option to discontinue offering calls to that customer in the future or absorb the associated cost.

To strike a balance, the cost for the challenge should be small enough for typical calling cases, allowing users to accept the occasional expense if necessary. However, as the calling volume becomes excessive, the cost should increase significantly, serving as a deterrent against excessive or spammy calling behavior. This way, the system encourages genuine calls while discouraging misuse of the service.
No sales took place. You can price something at whatever you want. If nobody is willing to pay that price, it does not have that value. If the price is less than you value it, you won't be willing to sell it.

Many people seem to believe in a notion of "intrinsic worth". There is no such thing. Trying to force such a thing using the law just results in a lot of deleterious distortions.

For example, when the government tries to fix the price of gold to a fiat currency, an inevitable monetary crisis follows.
One important thing you are missing, there are two different estimates being referred to. The "miles remaining" display on the battery charge gauge (which can be toggled to show percentage instead) and the trip planner / navigation estimate. The trip planner is very accurate, you can view a burn down charge of realtime estimate as it changes while you drive and it says what component contributed what % to deviate from the initial estimate. The "miles remaining" display is an imaginary number that is only meaningful if you are driving the same highway mix as the EPA test in the same climate conditions

People suggest this a lot, but I think it's not a good fit. While some of Disney's profit centers would be a good match for Apple (Film and Television), others (Theme parks and merchandise) would be a lot of distraction. Disney's workforce is almost twice the size of Apple, and Apple is very protective of its work culture and how people function in the company.

I think Apple much more prefers to operate as a partner to Disney

> (high price must mean high value / low price must mean low value) would be false, yes?

The price the seller sets is the seller's idea of its value. The price the buyer bids is the buyers' idea of its value. When those prices are the same, and an exchange takes place, that price is the value of the item to both of them at that moment.

It's unlawful as it means you lose the household exemption, and so need a legal basis for the processing. You also need to inform others of the data collection in advance, the purpose for which the data is collected, and the contact details of the data controller.

Private ANPR-equipped vehicles are rare (and outright illegal in some EU states), but when you see them they'll have large decals with the above information on all sides.

Facial recognition is considered biometric data, which is special category data under the GDPR and forbidden to process except in very strict circumstances. Apart from law enforcement/government, it is more or less impossible to lawfully process biometric data with informed consent from the data subject. The household exemption does not apply.
Isn’t that more of a carrier thing?
Partially yes, but it's also a sign of their standards. I've personally known many girls that aren't that hard to be with, but are being foolish constantly going after guys that clearly won't commit.
You seem to have burned out pretty quickly. Most small business and startups take 5+ years to be sustainable and/or find an exit.

What most commenters here are assuming is that you will like this same kind of work after you take a break. I'm not sure that you've discovered the difference between the kind of work that you think you like vs the kind of work you really like and/or doesn't feel like work. Lots of us with certain skills feel like we should fit in a certain job and/or be able to handle running a business on our own, but that doesn't mean it's the case.

Above all I would recommend finding any job where you feel valued -- either by your colleagues or because you feel you are doing something productive and/or rewarding. I've had scores of different jobs over the years across different industries and what you may end up wanting to do long-term may surprise you.

Don't spend too much time inside your own head in a loop. I totally agree with this comment from qazxcvbnmlp:

> If you have financial means - I’d recommend taking a part time job where your output is immediately visible (bartending, carpentry, landscaping, (I personally load bags on airplanes)). Remember the goal is not to make money, it’s to have people tell you what you are doing matters. Eg, have someone notice the extra 5 mins you put in to make the lawn lines straight. See the smile on a regular when you remember their order. Etc.

I'd replace "financial means" with "budgetary discipline". It's much easier to take all kinds of opportunities if you are disciplined about expenses.

> But since you do not have access to colour originals of historical photos in almost every instance, you cannot possibly train the network to have any instinct for the colour sensitivity of the medium, can you?

Plenty of people say that about colorization period, which, while I disagree, seems more sensible than your position to me, which just seems to be fetishizing suffering.

They replace the iOdd virtual CD USB device in all virtualized cases. For physical servers, the iOdd virtual ISO USB drive is very handy.
Colourised images absolutely replace mono images in image searches, unfortunately; I've seen this again and again. It gets more difficult to find originals.

But also you have to consider that bias is being introduced in the colour rendition. That causes damage.

For example, you could see a photograph of an African American woman in the 20s or 30s, and your AI would say, this is an African American woman and colour her skin in some way.

But a lighter-skinned-looking African American woman in a pre/early-post-war photo is a challenge. She may have had darker skin -- been unable to "pass" -- and the film simply didn't get that across because of its colour sensitivity.

Or she may actually have been light-skinned and able to "pass" (or wearing makeup that helped).

Automatically colouring that image introduces risks to the reading of history; you can read that woman's entire life completely wrong.

It's also common with photos of men from that era who worked outdoors. Many of them will come across much darker-skinned in photos than they actually would have appeared in real life, because not-readily-visible sun damage can look odd in mono. But if you colourise all those sun-baked people the same way, what happens to those of mixed heritage among them? (A thing that is already rather "airbrushed out" of history.)

Without knowing about the lighting, the material, the processing and the source of the positive (is it a negative scan? was it a good one? or is it a scan of a print?) you cannot make accurate impressions of skin tone.

And given the power and importance of photography in the history of the USA in particular -- photography coincides with and actually helps define the modern unified US self-image -- this is not something to blaze through without care.

This is a far less tricky problem in more homogeneous societies, obviously. But even then, there is this perception from photographs that British women in the 1920s were all deathly pale; colourisation preserves that illusion that actually comes in part from photographic style.
I WISH my clinicians were skeptical. One thinks it's perfect and is trying to overrule IT's reservations about the system.
At least it’s better than blocking content with CSS.

I didn't mean to insinuate that anybody faked anything. Just that video evidence on its own isn't per se any more credible than if they unambiguously made the same claim in writing. The technology for making fake or misleading videos is easy to come by, so why mentally lean on the fact that they were videos at all? Our answers wrt likelihood of truthfulness simply lie in provenance and other indicia of credibility that would be shared with claims in any other trivially falsified medium, like writing. Why, indeed, would multiple seemingly non-cooperating supposed researchers make the set of claims that have been made?

I don't think anything was faked, nor did I think anything was faked before videos began appearing. But that's precisely why this is an opportune time to exercise recalibrated judgment in not allowing the videographic character to inflate my cautious enthusiasm.
So people should not have the option of paying less of paying less for less features? Everyone must pay for features that only a subset of customers use?

Thank you for your feedback regarding our pricing!

We know that some individual Pro extensions don't justify the price of the whole tier. That's why we are thinking about selling individual extensions in the future. A lot of people build these types of extensions on their own, which is possible thanks to open source, and that's totally fine. In the last few weeks we have added more value to the paid tiers in the form of the advanced extensions TableofContents, Mathematics and the brand new Tiptap AI. We think it's worth it!

We feel the same about Managed Services. In addition to maintenance, support, development and so on, there are hardware resources that you have to pay for. We think that's fair.

I really like Liveblocks, the slick design, the impressive documentation and the detailed examples. We can learn a lot from them. As a technical decision maker I definitely wouldn't choose it because the backend source is closed source. The collaboration space is still new and there is no real standard in my opinion. The only (de-facto) standard can be an open source solution. In the end, at least the file format has to be interchangeable between a managed cloud and the open source core, regardless of the features around it. A few months ago I thought Yjs might become that standard, but it has too many rough edges. There are CRDTs popping up every month. We'll see.
