Why Is America Such a Deadly Place?
All my pre-uber memories of taxis in NYC are negative. The drivers drive super crazy, accelerating and breaking a ton because the meter pays them a higher rate if they hit a certain speed. I enjoy uber much more and still meet interesting people.

How are traditional full time jobs not even worse then? They require you to clock in at times chosen by the employer or you lose the job and income.

This is interesting, as I am actually doing the same thing with a site I have as I noticed my crawl budget has gotten less especially this year and fewer new articles are being indexed.

I suspect this is a long-term play for Google to phase out this search and replace with Bard. Think about it all these articles are doing now is writing a verbose version of what Bard gives you directly unless it’s new human content.

Google has in essence stolen all their information by scraping and storing in a database for its LLM and is offering its knowledge of this directly to users, so in a way, this is akin to Amazon selling its own private label products.
I don’t want to do any such thing. I want people to stop abusing the judicial system. She didn’t work, she was fired and she sued. I think it’s good if other businesses are aware of her behaviour.

Unless your business is media or heavily linked to public perception, your controversial opinions should be irrelevant to work. This is different to a worker who doesn’t do their work and sues, that is _very_ relevant to future work.

Your premise is also incorrect: there are businesses that are happy to take on extra risk and will happily employ felons or other black sheep. Many people are willing to give a second chance, but they should be aware that they are giving a second chance.

Reading your analysis and story reminds me how fascinating I find the transitions to and from atheism and Catholicism!

My maternal grandmother was raised an only child of atheists... and became a hardcore Catholic in the '50s and raised 9 kids.

My parents raised me hardcore Catholic... and I became an atheist while studying philosophy at Franciscan (after economics at Ave Maria).

I have way too much esoteric Catholic knowledge in my head I no longer have use for, besides the occasional "fun fact" moment.

I mean, isn't that precisely why open source advocates advocate for open source?

Not to mention, there is no need to "minify" HTML, CSS, or JavaShit for a browser to render a page unlike compiled code which is more or less a necessity for such things.
Yup. It especially rubs the wrong way for the last point, #45.

> If you screw up the engineering, somebody dies

So, shouldn't something like cars get this level of diligence then? Coal-fired power plants maybe? Nursing home care??? Spaceflight deaths, even on a log scale graph, don't even make it on the chart vs any of those others.

It's far more about the perceptional impact to the program as a whole, if someone dies, many billions will have been wasted and many thousands will lose their jobs.

Still, it's fun and I've used it for a decade now. I really like #41.

> 41. There's never enough time to do it right, but somehow, there's always enough time to do it over.

Never mind that it's in direct contradiction to some of the other laws. I still love it.
Is Uber penalizing him? No.

Any company which would have to directly employ him would certainly penalize him for not accepting work and would not allow him to start his shift whenever he wanted.

That other app he’s using seems to be somewhere in between gig and normal work (so you seem to get the worst from both worlds).

> If they were employing him, penalizing him for declining work would be fine.

Which seems like a huge downside?
AI is a bunch of executives huffing their own turd vapors.

It will take a bit of time for the hype to die down because there are some genuinely great uses for the current tech, but it's instead going to be another cycle of pumping video cards so everyone can have a shitty Star Trek Ship's Computer.

Hey no problem. And if you feel like you are really having a hard time finding your way talk to a professional.

As for the degree, you got one, sure it wasn't what you enrolled for but you got a job doing CS WITHOUT the degree, sounds like your attempt was a success not a failure despite a setback.
It comes from a desire to turn something simple - a dedicated place in your project to try and document your reusable components - into a product. Then, much like Twitter has tweets, Codepen has pens, Reddit has subreddits etc, so Storybook has stories.

It should probably never have been so productized, because it is way more complex than it needs to be. Again, it’s a very simple idea, and in my experience, many teams use only the most basic setup, and have never really considered why they took on a VC-funded dependency just to render some components.
> The law also requires the companies to give 14 days notice of termination.

Is there such a requirement for at will employment as well?

I doubt that it will help, though. Instead of deactivation companies will shadow ban or “effectively” deactivate. When you can log into an account, but there is no more work for you.
It’d be great if there were wider regulation preventing sudden deactivation by services in general. Getting locked out of your email, creator’s youtube account or a a small company’s account with a payment provider due to some algorithm without recourse can be equally painful.
This is something I also don't understand. I'm in Switzerland, which is small, so we order a lot from outside the country. All of the bg courier services add a delivery fee - but the seller already paid for shipping? There are a few services (Border Free comes to mind) that work, but otherwise we try to get shipping by the postal system. Germany, of course, has literally outsourced their postal system to DHL :-(
This was exactly my reading also
> You can have a parent class/interface with many subclasses/implementations.

Sure, but in Java the standard handling of that is polymorphism. instanceof has been so far a bit of an antipattern, breaking out of the OOP model.

> In your example there is no reason to use `instanceof` with `p`, you already know what it is.

That's my point. This seems like a very limited version of destructuring if you can use it only when you don't know the type. Like in JavaScript you'd routinely write something like:

const {x, y} = getPoint();
i would've imagined that a limited liability corporation means that the lowest value it can go is zero, not negative.

A shareholder cannot and should not ever be responsible for the debts of the company imho. As for time costs, the shareholder could just not attend or do anything, if they perceive the work to be of worthless value, and thus, should therefore have zero as the floor, rather than negative!
SEO is so fucked...
It's understandable why they'd be the worst clients though. Imagine training rigorously for a decade without any real pay, and after that you are trying to save lives and suddenly the way you order tests doesn't work anymore for no reason.

I wouldn't have much patience to deal with that. I got 12 complex patients that need shit done for them, and my login don't work because I missed some email, or something updated, or some network thing is down etc etc. Sounds like someone has not done their job well enough and that interrupting my patient care that I dedicated my life to.

I work in IT, hang out with a ton of physicians though, and I absolutely get why they'd be bad clients. They don't got any time to deal with issues.
I started to notice this trend where tech workers get shat on when ChatGPT became popular, with people claiming that it was the end for developers because apparently they could easily be replaced by AI despite the fact that if that was the case, many other jobs would be easily replaced as well.

If my perception is accurate and this resentment is not a product of my imagination then I find it silly considering that there are other careers where many people are way more highly paid than FAANG engineers (lawyers, doctors, some salespeople) yet no one seems to be mad at them.

Here's the pertinent paragraph from the cable (the rest is at the very bottom of the article), make up your own mind:

I asked Don if the reason for a strong U.S. reaction was Pakistan’s abstention in the voting in the UNGA. He categorically replied in the negative and said that it was due to the Prime Minister’s visit to Moscow. He said that “I think if the no-confidence vote against the Prime Minister succeeds, all will be forgiven in Washington because the Russia visit is being looked at as a decision by the Prime Minister. Otherwise, I think it will be tough going ahead.” He paused and then said “I cannot tell how this will be seen by Europe but I suspect their reaction will be similar.” He then said that “honestly I think isolation of the Prime Minister will become very strong from Europe and the United States.” Don further commented that it seemed that the Prime Minister’s visit to Moscow was planned during the Beijing Olympics and there was an attempt by the Prime Minister to meet Putin which was not successful and then this idea was hatched that he would go to Moscow.
This was beautiful, thank you for your thoughts on this.
Setting up multi-master replication with automatic failover was easy with MySQL a very very long time ago. Yes, there were foot guns (MySQL let you do some extremely stupid things). Yes, you really had to have a decent grasp of how things worked under the hood to not lose transactions, and your metrics / logs / alerts story had to be good, and your ops staff needed to know what they were doing during an incident. But that's always the case when self-hosting databases. We looked at Postgres several times over a 5 that period, and it always felt seriously lacking to me as an operator (not a real DBA or developer).

Galera kinda improved the MYSQL replication story for certain specific use cases, at the expense of (a lot of) extra complexity and way more foot-guns. I couldn't recommend galera even when the use case matches up. It took us years to get it operating relatively safely, and that was after a heap of near-misses with customer data. (Yeah, a bunch of us thought it was folly to use it but we weren't decision makers at the time)
think org chart. now put your cynical hat on.
IMO, voice alteration in general would undermine the concept, which is to hear genuine human voices. That seems like the opposite of what you want.

Have you considered limiting the number of voice messages non-paying users can post? As in, free users can post up to 5 messages per month, while paying users can post an unlimited number. Everybody can listen to as many messages as they want. The desire to "get your voice out" can be a powerful incentive to subscribe.
English very clearly isn't your primary language.
And once again this thread exposes the great problem with LLMs today, it's working like a black box thats impossible to debug in any way by the operator.
Not to marginalize your idea, but an app is also just a surface level solution. A quick fix, not useless, but not longterm.

Isn't the traditional solution not just to pick up some hobby's, go out, some cultural events?

It's not easy at times, but especially at events with shared interests it's normally easiest to connect to like minded people, and those connection have a chance of lasting.
> Why go learn another language and ecosystem when the things it brings to the table are of no value _to me_ ?

The language is conceptually very similar and ecosystem is shared to a large degree.

> I honestly do not struggle with null. If you actually read the code you call and test the code you write you won't have a problem.

Looks like you work on small projects only. If you can just read the code you call, then you don't need much of a type system at all.

In my case, the call I make often executes 10,000s of lines of code and figuring out if it can return null in some cases can take hours or days.

This is coming! Myself and others at OctoML and in the TVM community are actively working on multi-gpu support in the compiler and runtime. Here are some of the merged and active PRs on the multi-GPU (multi-device) roadmap:

Support in TVM’s graph IR (Relax) - https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/15447
Support in TVM’s loop IR (TensorIR) - https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/14862
Distributed dialect of TVM’s graph IR for multi-node (GSPMD-type): https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/15289

The first target will be LLM's on multiple NVIDIA GPUs but as with all of MLC-LLM effort, the approach will generalize to other hardware including AMD's wonderful hardware.

I guess that style appeals to some people, but I don’t think it’s conducive for good conversations. A better conversationalist knows how to pull out a thread and keep the conversation going without immediately jumping to an unrelated topic. A real-life conversation like this would be just as jarring.
So, let me get this right. CNET started using "generative AI" to write their articles. Google no doubt detected it and down ranked them to hell. CNET stopped the AI generation and they decided to delete their archives to improve their rankings?

No evidence linking Facebook adoption and negative well-being: Oxford study
Something I'd like to see with local development and the Supabase CLI is timing around inserting seed data, handling triggers, default data. I ran into a bunch of issues getting a nice local dev setup. For example seeding data after migrations is not helpful (and will fail) if your latest migration is destructive - you want to seed data and then run the next migration.

For context, my local dev process is now as follows:

1. supabase db reset with seed.sql empty
2. run a preseed script that disables any triggers and removes default data that has been previously seeded in migrations
3. seed data
4. reenable triggers
5. execute any working migration files that I keep in a separate file

I've written a script that handles all this, so I have mostly solved this for myself - but this was mostly due to running into a bunch of challenges setting up my local env to work well. Very open to general comments on approach too - perhaps there is a simpler way
I'm curious why there is so much focus on the magnetic levitation. Wouldn't the most important, and easiest test be to shunt a bunch of current through it and measure the resistance?

As noted in the JEP. The Vector API cannot be move to preview before value classes are available. Hence it is still in incubation and will be for quite some time.

`IO` is all you need if you want to freely execute side effects wherever. `mtl` and friends are for when you want to restrict which effects are available where.
No, still on the drawing board.
Gig companies call it a two-sided market place and just use different names to describe “producer” and “consumer”. From this point of view both are users.

>If we wanted browsers to be fed code that for performance reasons isn't human-readable,

Worth keeping in mind that "performance" here refers to saving bandwidth costs as the host. Every single unnecessary whitespace or character is a byte that didn't need to be uploaded, hence minify and save on that bandwidth and thus $$$$.

The performance difference on the browser end between original and minified source code is negligible.

>I explained plain as day how it’s easy to be skeptical of anything that can’t be verified quickly and then explained the difference

maybe, maybe not. Problem is, that's totally, absolutely, and completely irrelevant to your tangent, which was: you doubted the existence of round earth deniers in real life

(when they do, in fact, exist, just like climate change deniers, no matter how ridiculous either of them or their beliefs are)

see, you neglect that some people are also skeptical of things which CAN be verified quickly, for many varied reasons which we'll for expedience summarize here as "the dumb", and many of these round-earth-denying, perhaps climate-change-denying people are in the "we're losing faith in science!!!1" crowd

which brings us back on topic: the proposed alternative just doesn't seem better than the status quo, no matter how you've sliced it so far, for the reasons given in my original post and ignored by you

Maybe not really having the degree but it mostly being satisfied is a positive with venture capitalist after the richest man in the world had problems with his physics degree.
Um, what do you think a blockchain runs on? The hardware is still there, the only difference is in what software is used on top.

Blockchains need power and internet, and run on hardware that needs maintenance and degrades over time.

> Someday, I believe blockchains will be more efficient and have fewer downsides than a Raspberry Pi.

A blockchain can never be more efficient than a computer because:

1. It runs on top of computers, and does extra stuff. Extra stuff inherently has costs.

2. Blockchains are based on very low trust systems and use trickery to overcome it. This has enormous costs.
A really awesome on-the-ground website for information about specifics in collectibles was allexperts.com (now defunct). They got bought by something about.com who then got bought by a Thought Company? and they straight up deleted all of the 10+ years of people asking common questions about collectibles and getting solid answers. Poof.
But you don’t have to pay import duties and VAT if you buy from EU countries?

e.g. these day if I order anything from the UK (to an EU country) the package gets stuck in customs and I have to pay VAT(20%) + Import duty (optional depending on product type/value) + random service fee.
Thanks for the feedback.

The map feature can help bridge the gap between online connection and real-life connection, in my opinion. If you see that person you are talking to is near you and you hit it off very well, you can decide to meet in real life and form the real-life relationship, whether friendship or romantic relationship. That is the ultimate goal!

I want Bubblic to be the stepping stone for meaningful connections, a means to a real-life connection :)
CWS doesn't review every extension submission, at best they do some % of them along with anything that sets off red flags. Out of hundreds of times I pushed updates to my extension (~100k monthly users by the end) it was delayed for human review maybe... twice?
Wow. Sounds dystopic over there.
Yes this is something that infuriated me too. Especially that the “paper pushing fee” is often more than the actual VAT due, and I live 5 min away from the federal customs office.

But I checked all I could and in Switzerland you’re not allowed to take the option of clearing the package yourself and so have to pay the courier’s racket.

The beauty of it is that how expensive the fee is depends on the level of service the sender picked, and you don’t even know how much the fee will be because they drop the parcel off and send you a bill a couple weeks later.

I never order abroad anymore and when I’m forced to, I only do it if they’ll ship through the regular post office as Swiss post is the least predatory in their “handling fees”… but like everything in CH: caveat emptor.
Interesting, thanks, i'll have to check out how that works =)
It's not that straightforward if you have a bunch of samples which may only contain a small fraction of the material which isn't connected together. Firstly it becomes very difficult to probe a small grain that is hopefully pure and secondly you can't just dump an arbitrary amount of current through a superconductor, they only have zero resistance below a critical current level, and for LK-99 even if it was superconducting this was thought to be quite low, so a small sample means a very small voltage drop even for a normal conductor.
Is it really a rumor when a party to the drama is the one bringing it up?
Maybe the author is referring to generics - compile time generated code. But I'm with you. Code correctness is easily the biggest benefit for me, followed by fearless refactoring. The difference between refactoring a large Python project, and a Haskell project is staggering.
