I had a earlier Pebble, which was neat, but it mostly just got used for cycling so I could see who was calling without pulling my phone out. It was an interesting proof of concept for the time.

When it died, I tried a couple of things for my "active watch" before settling on a first-gen Apple Watch. It turned out to be so dang USEFUL that I wore it more than I wore my real watches, a trend that continues to this day.
I think the question we need to ask is how fast climate can change and how much can climate change.

For which I'd say, at a rate and total amount of change low enough to be compatible with the survival of human civilization, not having mass deaths, and keeping ecosystems intact, even if changed.

Civilization developed during a time of relatively stable weather. Rapid instability can cause mass dieoffs which at the very least will cause havoc with our food supply -- think fish. Or what's happening with peach production in Georgia.

We need to stop the bleeding (by going carbon neutral), and in parallel think about how to mitigate the problems, and reverse the changes.
Interesting, looks like they've already implemented some logic to avoid this case, but it's not hard to get around:

>I don't know what could be done about it.

How about reinstating the fairness doctrine that changed (along with so much else) in the 1980s as a start? And creating some rules to prevent news sources from being used as propaganda machines by billionaires?
Had to read the youtube comments to understand a little what this is about. So it seems to be a suite of tools (Ziva, Speedtree, SyncSketch, Parsec, Eddy, Deep Comp) that's separate from the Unity Editor and aimed towards (film?) artists.

I don't know how accessible or useful these will be to most game devs using Unity (apart from maybe Speedtree).

No, the new option in this respect is to let corporates choose "No, never" for employee devices.

Previously (e.g. Android 13) if your cellular provider said you can choose "No" then there's a slider in your Settings so you can choose, otherwise it's greyed out and tells you "Name of Your Provider requires 2G to be available".

On corporate devices it's a pain to have settings that your users can screw up, and so it's nice when Android (or Apple for iOS) makes the setting something you can choose to lock down instead.

There is no universe in which remembering and typing git commands is more efficient than clicking a single button. Just the mistakes from git CLI use are a major time waster.

Good GUIs roll up multiple commands into easy actions and can even automate your team's workflow.

Alternatively, they make IDEs and so does everyone else. They even have a web IDE powered by VSCode as an offering in GCP, like GitHub codespace.

This seems tailored to being good at doing front end stuff (multiple emulators, multi-browser previews, etc). Which is probably a problem google deals with themselves.
I'm not too worried about certifications and all that stuff. For small batches sold on Tindie, it is not a huge deal.

But I don't want to stock the inventory and deal with shipping. Especially international shipping is annoying and expensive.

And there is not a lot of money to be made for small volumes.

If someone wants to build them and sell them - go for it. I just don't see this being profitable unless you have in-house pick and place machines.
And the blame will all be on AI instead.
This might be the most mundane topic Ive found myself naturally extremely excited about.

If your a developer working full time in only one or two languages you may never experience just how good/bad you have it.

When you do, its really eye opening.

Every time I transition to a new language professionally it can be like opening a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans when you look into the packaging story.

* Go binary release story is great but the gopath method for dependencies is annoying

* Elixir has lockfiles and built-in package docs but the release story deviates too much

* Javascript now that everything has settled into npm is a delight but the lack of stdlib, painful local aliasing and extremely heavy node_modules folder can be offputting

* Python just sucks (lets hope poetry can bring the promised land of deterministic builds)
Oh, yeah, thats a different can of worms.

I know nothing of this, but I hear that you probably want H100s (instead of A100s) and a good fault tolerant platform, kinda like: https://www.mosaicml.com/blog/mpt-30b

But you are either talking about a toy LLM or spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's interesting to think how the geography of the earth could've shaped the anthroposphere and its history differently had humanity happened a few million years earlier.

30 million years ago the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans were directly connected, for example, but the Black Sea was landlocked. The Bosporus straight in Istanbul and the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt have been very significant historically and geopolitically— history would be very different in a world where these don't exist.
I think Gemini just went too far with how much they got rid of.

I think the ideal middle is using a stripped down HTTP subset, with HTML5 (maybe with some things removed, like script tags), and the latest CSS.

No JS. Focus on the document. Make any changes needed to improve things. No crossdomain cookies. Maybe no cookies at all. Only GET and POST maybe. Only allow some very specific headers maybe and strip anything else. Figure out a more novel system for secure transmission, maybe by default.

I'm thinking of starting something with Servo, I know it's not HTML5 yes but it could be a good way to limit things. Or maybe Libweb from the Ladybird project.
I support all your action items but based on your preamble I was expecting something more along the lines of political engagement/activism.
Stripe does not act as Merchant of Record. So it is not directly comparable to Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle.
Why is this argument commonly used to dismiss kubernetes?

K8s is a way for you to drop a large number of such pieces of software onto a small number of such boxes, and keep the configuration and lifecycle of each of those deployments independent.

Kubernetes is not primarily a scalability tool it is an availability tool.

You don’t need a fast computer near you? Plenty of people like this model of development.

I personally love being able to compile massive projects while sitting in front of a MacBook Air or iPad. It sips battery while churning away at a data center elsewhere.
If you look through several top results, you get other unconditional yeses and some murky maybes. On this topic, Recaptcha doesn't say whether or not it's GDPR-compliant, and searches give unsure answers. You're saying a session ID isn't personal info, but https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/r... lists both "cookie IDs" and IP addresses as personal info. Which one is it?

If I have to consult a lawyer just to run a basic website without cookie banners, that means the law is unclear.

Even this sample could be marginal, going by the original paper.

But there has been plenty of "locked" levitation and lots of zero conductance failures.

I took the parent's comment to be about recovering costs of operation, not supporting oneself.

I think its entirely possible to recover the costs of a hobby that does public good through donations. Making a reasonable wage (especially by software dev standards) is another matter entirely.

I used to check my local and intl news sites a few times every hour but its just a waste of time to be honest.

On some Skylake CPUs to get full mitigations you are taking a 30% performance penalty _and_ you need to disable SMT which is often another double digit penalty. It's not a literal "toss the physical silicon", but it's getting there.

In fact my thesis is that it's never a literal "toss the physical silicon" because the kernel is able to take control when switching between tasks so (with help from the microcode) it's able to wipe all potential speculation vectors (at an arbitrarily expensive cost) before switching to the next task. This also explains why SMT is unfixably broken on some processors, since by design the kernel does not intervene in the task switching on the virtual cores.

You’re “pretty sure”. Perhaps we should also call it an odyssey, or an epic? They would also fit the dictionary definitions, if we read the dictionary like we’d not bothered to learn proper English. I’m guessing, by your use of Mirriam Webster that you’re an American, so that’s a distinct possibility.

If you knew how to use a dictionary you wouldn’t have left out the helpful examples:

> 1a
: hard to accomplish or achieve : DIFFICULT
an arduous task
years of arduous training

> b
: marked by great labor or effort : STRENUOUS
… a life of arduous toil.
—A. C. Cole

> 2
: hard to climb : STEEP
an arduous path
arduously adverb
arduousness noun

Life, years, climb. No, it does not count as arduous in the slightest. First world problems, is that in the dictionary, I wonder?
I'd guess it will evolve and/or accrete bolt-ons to meet new use cases (e.g. MIME), much like HTTP and any number of protocols have.

> Are you really seeing companies use Kafka for their main persistence layer?

I'm seeing kafka-streams-style event processing as the primary data layer used by most business operations, although only in the last couple of years.

> As in, like, KQL or the equivalent for all/most business operations?

> Even the CQRS/ES zealots are still consuming from Kafka topics into (usually relational) databases for reads.

Yeah, I'm not seeing KQL, and I'm still seeing relational databases used for a lot of secondary views and indices. But the SQL database is populated from the Kafka, not vice versa, and can be wiped and regenerated if needed, and at least in theory it can't be used for live processing (so an SQL outage would take down the management UI and mean customers couldn't change their settings, it would be a big deal and need fixing quickly, but it wouldn't be an outage in the primary system).
> There are many reasons that WEI sounds like a good idea

I know I'm biased in my opinion on WEI, my initial reaction was extremely negative.

That said, I'm willing to be open minded here. As a user, how does WEI benefit me?

I can easily see how WEI benefit's advertising companies like Google and how it benefits advertisers that want to track their campaign's effectiveness. What I can't see is how it benefits a user of the web.

I don't care if I'm responding to a bot if the conversation is meaningful, nor do I care if a bot posted some content to whatever content feed I'm currently browsing because I like to see content and it doesn't matter if a bot or human posted it, to me.

What is the benefit in "improving websites' trust in me" to me as a user? As a web developer, I do not trust my users nor would I ever trust them. This is a core principal in application development.

If you open your google account settings, the very first section is labelled "privacy and personalization". If you click on that, the option to disable youtube watch history shows up. In terms of "dark patterns", they do have a nag prompt begging you to reenable watch history which shows up in the recommended videos section of a youtube video. The only way to disable this nag permanently is seemingly to block it with uB0.

Delivery, aka logistics, is one of the most important jobs in our economy.

Twitter demonstrates that companies and systems could survive for months without programmers. As the early days of the COVID lockdowns demonstrated, society would collapse within days or weeks without deliverymen.

Again, I want to see you explain why those "inconvenient interactions" will never add up to a safety problem, because all I'm seeing is handwaving. In my view, "inconveniencing" a firefighter in the middle of fighting a fire is a clear safety issue Your notion that you have to see blood before taking it seriously is pretty wild to me. In college I knew a guy who regularly drove drunk using pretty similar logic because he'd never had a problem.
> The only case in which storing MFA secrets with your passwords becomes an issue is if other people have access to your laptop (and password manager). Then you'd probably want passwords on the laptop and MFA on your phone (or something else kept on your person).

The problem is that a lot of the major package managers - at least nodejs npm/yarn, PHP composer, Apache Maven, Gradle - allow code execution of whatever packages were specified as part of the installation or build process.

That means there are an equal lot of very juicy targets for a takeover - just look at the most popular build plugins... and a few minutes are enough to deploy a keepass and browser credential store stealer to a ton of people. Getting local code execution isn't that difficult if you manage to spray your payload over a huge enough area.

Getting access to a target and their MFA device however is vastly more complicated.
(Disclaimer: I joined the Stellar Sleep team after they got into YC, partly because I also had insomnia for many years and went through a full $1000+ in-person CTB-I treatment regimen which helped quite a bit)

Hey there! Wanted to chime in and let you know that we hear your concerns! I expressed the same sentiment about long surveys to George and Ed when I was considering joining their team. We're committed to making pricing, user onboarding, etc more transparent and easier for our users.

Yes, we do use onboarding survey responses to personalize our program. The programs on the payment page might look the same "regardless of your answers", but behind the scenes, we really are building customized modules based on your responses. For example, if a user mentions in the quiz that they have racing thoughts, we're working to surface relevant content earlier in the program and partnering with our professional sleep psychologists to create more modules that tailor to such needs.

Everyone on our team is constantly learning, and we do appreciate your feedback and patience! To get the app off the ground, we needed to make quick decisions in the beginning and just go with what made sense to us, but as we build out our team and incorporate more of your feedback, we're committed to doing better. I wouldn't work here if I didn't believe this was part of our mission.
Thank you for explaining. So what I think you are saying is that you can make a grand feel as light as a typical upright because the weights typically added to pianos outweigh the inherent weight of the hammers that the grand would add to the action, giving plenty of leeway to adjust the action.

> Mexico has a slightly lower GDP per capita ($10k) than China ($12k) as per 2021 according to the world bank

GDP/GDP per Capita =/= Household Income

GDP is a representation of economic production (ie. how much shit you can produce).

Economic Productivity doesn't neccesarily scale with Wage Growth, hence why you see America's GDP per Capita approach $80k/yr yet median income around $60-70k/yr

> Mexico has a median household income of $3.5K compared to China's $4.8K [2].

CEIC Data's numbers are off on both matters.

The datasets I've included in my citations are those from the Govt of China (National Bureau of Statistics of China [0]) and the Govt of Mexico (National Institute of Statistics and Geography [1]).

The Chinese numbers I provided were released last year in 2022 and the Mexican numbers I provided were for 2020 (Mexico computes median income every 2 years)

In my experience CEIC Data's datasets are entirely off. Furthermore, digging into their datasets, it appears they aren't translating numbers correctly.

Some countries like Mexico and Italy report Median household income on a quarterly cadence, which CEIC doesn't take into account and explains why Italy's household income is listed at $15k despite the numbers provided to the EU are much higher.

> Your numbers are way off

In the future, when discussing economic metrics, I recommend sourcing directly from that Nation or State's Statistical Agency. The data they provide is more up to date and provides relevant context that 3rd party scrapers like CEIC or Statisa don't provide. Learning to speak/read Mandarin or Spanish helps as well, as policy discussions in China and Mexico tend to occur in those languages respectively.

As a life-long insomniac who also almost named his company stellar (https://soundmind.co) and is in the sleep space, I have quite a bit of experience with this.

Note, at SoundMind, we are not an insomnia device.

I think back to my conversation with a sleep doctor after a night at a sleep lab when I was 8 years old. I've literally never been a sleeper.

Their recommendations were just the basic sleep hygiene stuff the conversation went like this...
1) Go to bed at the same time each night - "Yeah - I'm 8, it's called bedtime".
2) Don't drink coffee after 3pm - "I'm 8 years old, I don't drink coffee"
3) Limit alcohol(?) - "Yeah, I'm 8"

I am deeply saddened and have some indignation that CBT-I is still the "gold standard", but unfortunately, that's where we are.

If I knew of something better, I'd be building that, instead of what we are building at SoundMind, which increases the efficiency of deep sleep.

CBT-I has notoriously low adherence rates.

My biggest issue with CBT-I is the sleep restriction stuff.

My take.

Have someone who shows up who is experiencing insomnia. Most non-chronic episodes will resolve within a 5 week period.

So a person is put on sleep restriction, at the end of sleep restriction where they are limited in the number of hours they can sleep, and that is slowly increased over a 6 week period. At the end, their insomnia is magically gone.

So, I ask, at what time did your insomnia disappear?

It's as if somebody had a cold and you said "eat chocolate every day for 6 weeks, and then we'll see if your cold is gone", and low and behold, as if magic, chocolate cures the common cold.

Don't get me wrong, sleep hygiene is important, just like brushing your teeth. Do it!

If you have anxiety which is causing you trouble sleeping, then recognize that and deal with the anxiety, but don't call it insomnia.

Sorry Ed, but you can't make a claim that you've helped 10,000 patients improve their sleep "PERMANENTLY".

I wish you guys all the best, but mostly, I hope that you figure out something better than CBT-I and have a larger aim.
