Better is subjective. Java is a great language, has a mature and stable codebase, it runs at near-Cpp speed, has built-in SNMP-like monitoring, and the developers are super careful about not breaking backwards compatibility. That's all about there is to say about it. Kotlin is also a good language for many of the same reasons, mainly because it is run on the JVM. One really isn't better, they're just different. Use the tool you know how to use, and master it.

The only category I would say is objectively "better" is Java (and other JVM languages like Kotlin) has the best IDEs out of _any_ language. There is nothing on-par for Python, Ruby, C/Cpp, etc as far as autocompletion, type inference, automated refactoring, partial recompiles, hot code swapping, unit test integration, Tomcat or server integration, code formatting, etc. Java is great because of it's IDEs. If we were writing Java in notepad.exe it'd be a pretty clunky experience, but nobody serious does that.
You just saved me some work, thanks!

I also get these emails but run a WordPress site. I was convinced they would fingerprint websites and mail those to these sites only.

It was on my todo to see if I could hide the fingerprint of WordPress.

But now that you mention this, it's obvious it wouldn't do much. In hindsight, I could have know these spammer would just spam everybody in bulk.
You don’t need to be a biologist to know that when you bring a chihuahua to a dog park you go to the little fenced section compared to the bigger section for the bigger “breeds” and as a human you marvel at the sight and fact fact that they’re biologically the same species yet clearly with defined differences. Perception of reality allows you to infer boundaries and collections of similar things, words in a paper to justify what reality demonstrates physically and clearly is not only an appeal to authority and a fallacy of argument but it’s also meaningless as it’s out of context and can’t possibly refer to a shared experience of reality.
Perhaps soaking up the supply of GPUs has delayed the AI singularity, if only marginally?

That's fair, and in hindsight, I suppose it is a little silly to try to help customers use your platform as it was meant to be used rather than having them sort of guess how to use it...it'll generate revenue either way...
> Are you intending to fill the roll of being a framework akin to a "super django" type of deal?

We don't plan to replace any specific framework. We simply want to make Postgres easier to use. You can use Django (or any other framework) and Supabase together. We provide some additional tooling on top, but we aim to make this tooling 100% compatible with other tools. As an example, here[1] is a change we made recently so that our Storage service works better with Clerk (a popular Auth service, which is a good alternative to our own Auth service). We plan to document this better - it was one of the promises I made in the OP.

> Are there plans to expand self-hosting support?

we made a few updates[0] this week to improve self-hosting based on the common feedback. if there is anything missing just let me know and i will do another round of improvements.

> currently some like the AI features aren't really explained if they work in the self-hosted or not, or if you have to do anything special for that.

nothing is feature-gated so everything works on self-hosted. That said, I agree that we can be better at explaining the self-hosting. We are putting a lot more effort into improving our docs in general. For self-hosting we can certainly be clearer about the boundaries where you are responsible (eg, you need to take care of your own backups, the AI features will require external acconts). we're working on this, but feel free to open issues where it's unclear we can address anything specific

When you say "we" are you commenting as an employee of Stellar or Sleepio?
From the article:

"analyzed the samples with laser direct infrared imaging and identified 20 to 500 micrometer-wide particles made from eight types of plastic, including polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride and poly(methyl methacrylate)."

500 micrometer is 0.5 millimeter. According to a random Quora user, that's about half the thickness of your credit card/a ziploc bag, a paper envelope, etc.

Smal, but each sample "detected tens to thousands of individual microplastic pieces in most tissue samples", that adds up, though we don't know the distribution of sizes of those particules.

The summary is that those with interventions had more pregnancies than the control group without.

Reminds me of the “DARE” anti-drug program many in the USA had growing up. From my memory, I’m a little first grade kid and I’m getting worksheets about injecting heroin. The studies show DARE didn’t work, and it was totally bizarre as well from my recollection.
I've always viewed this the opposite way: Kotlin isn't better enough to prefer it to recent Java versions.
I'd argue the better analysis is that employers set their salary floor at "single person, 2 kids" and let the people with more cost-effective situations benefit. This also means that the employee who wants a big family is faced with a greater financial burden. That makes sense to me.

Speaking only for myself, I have several coworkers who make the same salary as me, but have zero children. I sometimes envy their lifestyle, but I don't begrudge the fact that they made a more financially advantageous decision than me.

It is true that some employers will preferentially mete out promotions and vacation based on family status (having a family is famously a career advantage for men, but not for women, although spending time with said family is universally a career disadvantage), and this is discrimination.
that's on the roadmap - definitely one of our most requested Auth features. I don't have a timeline yet, but I know it's somewhere at the top of the (kanban) list for the Auth team

How would you distribute clock signal around that wafer-scale GPU? OR is he simply suggesting you buy the whole wafer and litho standard GPUs out of it? Apologies if this is a stupid question.
> Makes me think that in a lot of ways saving money is really tax efficient compared to slogging for more ordinary income.

It depends on how similar your wife's income would be to the cost of childcare really, which also depends on how many kids you have, etc. Also, what happens when your kid's don't need childcare? There's some huge(maybe) opportunity costs to account for from putting her career on hold.

Working moms (parents) can do most of the other stuff with a job so it's not really "savings". My wife does anyways. Only extra we spend is a couple hundred a month for biweekly housekeeper so we don't have to do the deep/detail stuff. I take care of all the house stuff and finances and spend roughly the same on outsourcing lawncare. It's not worth my time and effort compared to the cost and never ending hassle (I'm in Texas and it's 110F outside and grass grows 9-10 months out of the year)
I'm willing to bet most graduate student stipends fall below the living wage estimate for the place they are living. It's a terrible and negative incentive to go into the sciences, especially compared with Tech wages / salaries.

There's nothing quite as ridiculous as an open office with row after row of employees sitting shoulder to shoulder, half of whom are loudly talking on video calls with their teams which are distributed among other offices where they are also sitting shoulder to shoulder in an open office. I'd be shocked that any deep concentration work gets done in such an environment.

EDIT: Furthermore, I think some execs in tech companies (particularly those who never were engineers) really believe that's how software development happens! Like if you ask your company's CEO how software gets written, he pictures this Wall Street-like trading floor where engineers are yacking at each other, and having standup meetings and flailing about at whiteboards, and that's the sound/busy-ness of engineering being done!
Yeah, my understanding was that it was audio fingerprinting tv ads, not transcribing anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were trying to vacuum up other stuff. That said, I think it should be feasible to do basic low-accuracy transcription on-device, especially with all the neural engine hardware making inference more efficient.
This is what government ids are already for. Instead of creating new systems to strip away privacy rights, spend more time enforcing laws and prosecuting identity theft. Tying identity to biometrics makes it involuntary at some point down the road, which is obviously the real intention.

Generative agents: LLM-driven interactive simulation “inspired by The Sims”
Finally a sensible take. The problem that Worldcoin is looking to solve is real. I think the solution they've arrived at is terrible but that's not because I don't believe in the problem.

LLMs are going to shift the orbit of the internet and present a spam-adjacent problem on a scale we haven't seen before. Existing power structures are going to be very suddenly convinced of the need to either prove one's identity, or at a minimum, prove one's humanity and uniqueness.

I have no idea what the solution here is but man I hope it's not a fricken crypto currency and maybe also not exploiting the 3rd world. These seem like they should be low bars but here we are.

VW just claimed the top spot from Tesla for electric car sales in Germany:

https://www.dw.com/en/vw-electric-cars-tesla-germany/a-66468...

Hyundai is currently at sixth place behind VW, Tesla, MB, BMW and Audi:

https://insideevs.com/news/677504/germany-allelectric-car-sa...

In 2022 Tesla was at the top, VW second and Hyundai third, so Hyunday actually seems to be losing ground against other German car brands, at least in the EV market segment:

I think the announcement of the 'deindustrialization' of Germany might be a bit premature.
> A nicer office makes things better but it will not change people's minds on WFH.

I suggest you consider behavior on the margin. Despite the fact that there are lots of people vocal about how much they love/hate RTO, there are also people that are indifferent or slightly prefer one or the other. Improvements in office quality will meaningfully persuade some number of people on the margin.

It’s an open question how steep the curve is (ie how much office improvement required to persuade 1% of people to change their mind) but I think it’s myopic to just look at the partisans.

All that said, sure, there is a nontrivial percentage who you couldn’t change their minds with something like a dedicated office. But I think your claim is too strong that it’s binary and all WFH likers will not be persuaded by this proposal.
You might want to read the whole post you replied to before asking questions already answered in that post.

While this does look like a biased one sided post, a year passed and I couldn't find any response from SUSE. So I'm guessing that there is a lot of truth behind this. Although I'm not quite convinced that this is antisemitism, but rather anti-non-christian. I suspect that a similar post wishing Muslims a happy Ramadan would be taken down.
i didn't mean to include SUSEs choice here, just for comparison, that in germany the days been christmans and newyear are generally not respected, but also that they need not be because they are not religious holidays, in contrast to the jewish holidays which are.
You would need at least a RTX A6000 for the 70b. You’re looking at maybe $4k? Plus whatever you spend on the rest of the machine? Maybe $6k all-in?
The organization behind it is, of course, keeping 10% of the coin for themselves. Tracks very well with your theory.
Convincing offers to buy it for $10-40K. One offer said $250K but I doubt that one was serious, more likely just a straight up scam. I have often emailed them back feigning interest to see if I can get them to state what they plan to do with it, since I cannot see anything that could possibly be ethical, but they always just start talking mumbo jumbo about their innovative monetisation strategy.

Recently I’ve had a serious sounding offer to inject an ad, i.e. a one-off ad would open in a new tab when the extension updates, for $3K a pop, which I just ignored, then he emailed again saying $4K, then just yesterday he emailed again with a bunch of emoji and said what about $8K.

It’s tempting, but it would still be selling out my users, who may be ungrateful little brats but I could never do that to them, I value their approval too much.
Call it the Universal law:

Any coin used for UBI, will lose value against Bitcoin.
It's also important to remember that it includes the neighborhoods you may not be so excited to live in where rents are going to be cheaper, driving down the average. I live in Chicago, my "living wage" is like $85,000/yr for a single guy with no kids, but my area also has a median rent of >$2000 and I need a 2nd bedroom to use as an office.

This stuff is so general as to be basically worthless beyond a comparison between areas, not as a datapoint to use when calculating the cost of living somewhere.
this is pretty cool. im similarly bad at remembering the names of stuff i plant, so having a reliable way to catalog and track would be sweeeeeeet.
An _audio_ format which is _quite_ ok? Not sure, if I need that.
That’s a common mistake, I agree.

In my case, they knew my current salary and expected salary from the first call.

They didn’t commit to anything beforehand, and maybe that’s my mistake. OTOH it is quite a bet to spend a lot of someones (mine, in this case) betting they’re going to accept a smaller salary just for the privilege of working for you.
Ridiculed? Really?
You and I may have enthused Ioniq 5s at each other before on here. I know I had the "paid more than I would have Tesla but still love it" conversation recently.

I'm all for my new HI5 that I bought in March too, but I have to admit I had a sinking feeling around the NACS announcement. It's not so much that I'll have to use an adapter as that the EA and CP stations will be even more awkward than they are now with the cables diversified further. And the handful of Tesla stations that are supposed to support adapted CCS don't work reliably with Hyundai's E-GMP platform in general for whatever reason. That's not even to mention that NACS stations all expect the charging port to be on the wrong end of the car, and if you back in the port will be on the wrong side.

If nothing else, it brought down my outlook of the car as a 7-10yr vehicle to a 3-5yr one in terms of future proofing, and now that $60k+ outlay I made isn't so satisfying.

Yeah, it's surmountable. I'll be fine. The car will be fine. It'll be a hassle but there'll be a solution--too many cars on the road now to not have one. After all, people still drive CHAdeMO Leafs.

But if I were buying right now, I probably wouldn't buy anything with a CCS port with obsolescence looming. And since I refuse to buy a car that makes me look away from the road for vital controls (and Elon is both anti-dashboard and anti-HUD for some pants on head stupid reason) that means I'd have stayed out of the market had the announcement come a couple months earlier.

Upshot is I absolutely buy that the NACS convergence will have a chilling effect. Whether it's had one this quickly is another story.
Yeah I’m definitely stealing this idea, I love it. Will add something to the repo soon.

I am pretty convinced that modern advertising - from the most inane and innocent to tracking users 24/7 pretty clearly falls under evil. Gone are the days of advertising trying to raise product awareness and convert purchases - that field now exists to create demand. It induces desires in the recipients that play on psychological factors like FOMO to create customers out of thin air - and that process causes we the consumer to pay a constant attention tax and suffer higher levels of stress in our daily lives.

Advertising is evil.
Can anyone name at least one positive effect Crypto has had?
My spouse was a sw engineer who became ft stay at home parent shortly after our second child. Yes it's not how much you make but how much you can save after that counts. Certainly she saved us a lot of money. In my case the intangible benefit of never worrying about my kids cannot be overstated. I really think it made a huge difference. I live in a community property state and I feel sorry for stay at home spouses who don't have this safety net. For the most part I think they deserve it.

The only benefit - if you believe that the quantity of people willing to commit crimes is constant - is that it has concentrated the criminality into a parallel ecosystem and out of the primary economy. Basically a walled garden for criminals to steal from each other.

If you believe in induced demand of criminality well, bad news there too.

Literally nothing on the positive side is a weak position. Bitcoin has provided many positive things for many users, and blockchain/consensus has many promising applications beyond finance. WorldCoin’s main pitch is not financial, but based on proving human identity in a world full of AI fakery. But that’s a different discussion.
