I think a big part of the difficulty here is that "motivation" is a very broad term, and people often mix up different aspects of it (both intentionally and unintentionally). It pretty much covers the "full stack" of goal-oriented behavior: everything from the neurological factors that balance action vs. inaction generally to the most abstract meta-goals toward which actions are ultimately directed. When people say they "lack motivation", the experience they're describing might involve any mixture of deficiency in the biological foundations of attention and behavior, lack of identifiable goals, or lack of belief/understanding in the connections between actions and goals. An aphorism like "discipline beats motivation" can't possibly come close to engaging that full spectrum, so even if there's value in the underlying idea, there will probably always be people who feel that someone saying it is misunderstanding or ignoring their difficulties.

Furthermore, I think what people are sometimes confronting when they discuss motivation is personal belief in markedly different goals than society promotes. In such cases they're not really expressing a lack of motivation generally, but rather frustration with a disconnect between the goals they actually believe in and the goals that they've been told to pursue (typically with according extrinsic reward/punishment). Telling such people that they just need to develop discipline is probably about as useful as telling atheists that they just need to go to church.
> Most economic growth comes from innovation, not the accumulation of capital or labor.

So which is it? Either economies don't innovate because they are shrinking (shortage of capital/labor) or economies innovate to grow and it's an ephemeral state that has nothing to do with the economics. eyeroll
"Hold it empty" is not a better way to "ride the storm out" than to rent it at lower cost. The solution to losing money isn't losing even more money even faster.
>Fundamentally you run into data synchronization issues whether you are syncing denormalized data back to your db via Watch

The Watch and Lookup APIs emit revisions so that any replicated data can include revisions to guarantee consistency. The linked article covers replicating data into SpiceDB and not the other way around; this is generally done for brown-field projects and does come with consistency trade-offs.

It's true that this complexity isn't unique to SpiceDB. The important part is that SpiceDB makes this _possible_ because if you architect a solution where it isn't, you'll find one day you've backed yourself into a corner.

>Is it then fair to say that it is appropriate to use spicedb once a project reaches a certain size / complexity, or would you expect a startup to adopt it from the beginning?

I briefly touch on this subject a bit in this post[0]. Unfortunately, there's no dead simple answer. We do have customers that are startups in various stages, but they all deeply considered the implications of focusing on authorization before they jumped in. IME, startups really need to find product market fit first. Build your MVP using whatever it takes and and only move on to thinking about authorization when it becomes critical. When is it critical, but not too late? I think that's once you start noticing that each PR implementing a feature request is also touching authorization code/SQL. There are also other big signals: microservices architecture or enterprise customers are almost certain indicators that your authorization logic isn't going to remain a small library in your monolith.

There is no reason to think this would ever go to the supreme court.
The 25% number almost certainly includes much smaller investors than these mega-corps that are being blamed.

They are simultaneously responsible for bidding up the price of homes while paying far below the average price for a home in pretty much every state they are present in.

Texas is effectively one of the only markets with a substantial proportion of new buyers being institutional investors and this is largely due to the number of dilapidated homes in the area.
I'm not sure if this is a joke, but it's not correct. Verisign handles all .com domains; all the different registrars are just frontends to Verisign.
I’d say based upon the overall profitability and scale of single family corporate landlords like American homes for rent that commercial interests have great influence over pricing. Smaller landlords are then able to price similarly. It makes little sense for them to have houses be empty and lose money, but this is often the case. However, the focal point is the drivers of pricing and I don’t see any evidence in your argument as to why I am wrong.
Sure, diet and exercise absolutely have an impact (and so do stress, and your environment, and your genes), but you specifically claimed that "chronic inflammation [is] a sign someone isn't particularly disciplined when it comes to diet or exercise," but more often chronic inflammation is a sign of an unchecked autoimmune condition.

Also worth noting that some estimates claim that between 5 and 10% of Americans have at least one autoimmune disease, and on average it takes patients four years[1] to receive a diagnosis, let alone treatment.

If I had a dollar for every person who suggested something was wrong with my (healthy, vegetarian) diet when it turns out my immune system is brute-force attacking my gut and spine...

Oil prices are not particularly high and have taken actual effort by producers to cut down production.

Ofc, they are higher than during pandemic, but still not really that high.
sure, but the other guy wants me to submit a picture in a funny hat, not a citation. and the third guy wants me to add some additional legal provisions and disclaimers to the GPL license.

you need a more generalized --clickwrap-consent parameter really. One that just says "whatever it is, I accept and I'll do it".

And that's exactly the thing GPL was supposedly founded to get away from. Restrictions on user freedoms. Especially violations so routine and tedious that we open-palm-slam "accept" without reading them.

You could absolutely write this to not look like a clickwrap agreement and lean on users. "please cite me, I'm an academic and impact matters" in the manfile or --help is not something anyone would ever get upset about or probably even patch to remove.

The only reason it's OK is because basically everyone knows it's not enforceable because of the severability part of the GPL. But it's blatantly designed to look like a serious and enforceable notice to users who don't know that, and require affirmative action from the user to "consent" and bypass the screen. And clickwrap agreements of this type are generally enforceable if there is not something like the GPL that allows you to ignore it.

like I flatly do not get why this is even debatable or questionable, the dude is trying to pull a fast one on users with a scary-sounding legal notice that implies that you need to accept this clickwrap agreement. and it's not entirely clear that he cannot actually burden you with this in all jurisdictions, since it's an agreement between you and the author that exists outside the actual source code/distribution. You can end up paying for free stuff in lots of places in life, if you're not aware about what "should" be free, and those agreements stand and are enforceable even though the thing was supposed to be free. You agreed to it. You don't have to, the GPL says that, you can edit the software to remove it without consenting, but you did accept it.

Letting the camel's nose under the tent on clickwrap agreements on GPL'd software is such an incredibly bad idea legally and morally, and this dude has been an utter dick about anyone who questions that. Sure, "he's willing to do it and nobody else is stepping up" but on the other hand he's also going off and attacking other maintainers doing their jobs, too. But that's not Stallman's problem I guess. That's another problem that only works with N=1 jerk, if that was normalized we'd have a problem.

I do not get why this guy is getting this special blessing or dispensation from FSF. Like it's not just that he's a random weirdo releasing under GPL and then trying to add additional terms (lol get stuffed), this is all occurring with the FSF's blessing, Stallman's signoff, and in the GNU distribution. Official GNU clickwrap license I guess.

At the end of the day - if the guy can't be satisfied with a polite request in the manfile, wow that sucks. But the GPL isn't about you, it's about the end user. There are explicitly licenses like BSD that require acknowledgement if that's your thing!
Whenever there are implications to people's lively hood, its always a serious matter - but I hope people are able to transition to other roles.

I think Gen AI will commoditize the mundane and "typical", and heavily push people into creating something extraordinarily unique. I think there is the same pressure even without AI, when as a creator you have to standout amongst the sea of people vying for people's attention.

I believe GenAI can be useful in a way too. For e.g. If I'm an artist looking for inspiration, I can have a GenAI tool create some "random" works that I can get inspired from.
My impression is that Indonesian people aren't under any delusions that the country matches any specific historical borders. They're well aware that their country's borders are a product of colonization.

That said, it seems to me like there's increasing evidence that the Austronesian expansion was more than just random refugees getting swept to different islands by fluke storms as is sometimes implied. There is wooden pole art all around the pacific rim, DNA evidence in south america, linguistic evidence in south america, and now this. It seems reasonable to suspect that the austronesian expansion was supported by a series of large trade networks and societies that provided logistical support for the expansion.

Barely on a 3% mortgage. There's a reason a lot of investment companies are buying empty lots and putting storage units on them, they are just trying to break even on the business and expect the land itself to inflate over time.

If they purchased this property at e.g. 7% or more, you may have a point.
As a generalist with many operating systems in use, I like that this tells you what OS the command is for. Especially now that powershell with its many unix-like aliases is getting popular, this isn't always evident.

Investing in real estate this way only makes sense when supply is sufficiently constrained. An explosion of housing makes it a bad investment.

But we've made it incredibly difficult in many, perhaps most areas to build substantial new housing, so we don't get housing explosions even in areas with incredible demand. You end up with just a trickle.
They matter.

Also, like everything in the universe, they are subject to supply vs demand.

And fundamentally the supply exceeds the demand.
There are new models such as from Google which work differently and handle things like counting etc. much better than open source models I don't know if any of them are available yet but they have papers. Like Imagen and something better that came out afterwards.
Actually, I believe the claim in the article is precisely that spending more time leads to better posts and that this leads to more subscribers. Basically, the author feels that he achieves more (in readership growth, but also on other dimensions he cares about) by taking the time to write one really good post instead of using that same time to write two mediocre posts; he contrasts this with the standard advice that publishing frequently is critical to building an audience.

> shared belief that the rich should contribute to society through taxation

New York and California also have massive bureaucracies and a tax and rulebook to match. I’ve generally been less irked by their rates than the time and energy it takes to prepare their returns.
Programmers and engineers have to apply this thinking holistically. The totality of waiting for slow software is enormous. Performance needs to be given a higher priority by more development teams.

I don't tend to consciously sum all of the time I spend waiting on slow software and slow services. But waiting on slow software impacts my subconscious in the moment, making me feel uncomfortable and frustrated with the system, as if it is antagonistic. If I do spend any time consciously thinking about it, I feel disdain for the engineers and project leaders who believed that what they had produced was good enough to ship.

With the processing capacity of modern computers, waiting for hundreds of milliseconds for trivial requests, or much longer for only modestly-complex requests is evidence of gross negligence on the part of the programmers.
100%.

as an organization, there's value in _limiting_ the number of tools you adopt. But you'll nearly always want to adopt a few right-sized tools rather than using the same sledgehammer for every single thing that looks remotely like a nail.
Indeed. They are generally understaffed and salaries are very low so they're very lucky to get any "1x-5x" developers who stick around long enough to understand the infrastructure. Outsourcing as much as possible makes a lot of sense in that environment, it does create major single points of failure but "roll-your-own" would likely fail more often anyways.

Yes because at 100C you can use phase change to transport water, which means you've built a primitive heat pipe.

At 95C H transport is slow so heat will accumulate until it reaches 100. But then you have boiling and, w/out good seals water loss.
I think this is a misunderstanding of the recommendation.

When you're just getting started on something new where the ROI is going to be minimal, it makes sense to not put a ton of effort on perfecting when you do not have a clear understanding what people want/need.

After you have a sense of what people are consuming, and therefore have some measure of an ROI, it may make sense to focus on repeating what worked.

> I would never rent from someone who can decide their "nephew" wants the space and they just couldn't say no to him but then that fell through and meanwhile you're out on the street.

I never understood that attitude. I always took leases as a two-way street. That is, I'm free to leave and go somewhere else at the end of my lease, but the owner is also free to not rent to me at the end of my lease (with appropriate notice). It seems weird to me to have the expectation that if I sign, say, a 1-year lease that means I should have the right to renew that lease in perpetuity.
So the objection here is what….. bugs?

Is the implication that systemd has bugs and nothing else does? If so that’s nonsensical.
It's like Expedia owning many of the familiar travel brands: in reality they are all serving up the same content, but with different marketing, yet many people think it's a different company. You might think a brand is different and it might appeal to a different clientele but underneath its the same entity making all the decisions. It allows the brand to target different people without confusing everyone with a single brand saying different things; yet still allow for economies of scale. Great business for them, may seriously suck to be a customer since the alternatives are potentially no better if you don't like one.
Isn't this circular? How do you define "institutional"? Is it based on number of units and/or the use of a corporate structure?

Nobody is stupid enough to own an apartment complex in their own personal name without the protections of some kind of corporate structure. If that and/or a number of units owned that is lower than the size of an apartment complex are part of the definition of "institutional investor," the definition is circular.

This reminds me of the drawing of WWII bomber planes with bullet holes mapped out, showing that the critical systems were where there were no holes, not because the hull was strong enough, but because a hit there would cause the plane not to return and be recorded.

I unironically think there should be a nonprofit or even government dating service, the market can't solve this
It's simple. An Escrow offer.

Explain the game to the user and make a package where the company reserves a large-ish sum on the credit card and they get to cash only when the user stops dating after a successful match.

The dating app doesn't make any money until a successful long-term. The dating app could also require feedback after dates, to both improve matching and verify that one user is not cheating.

If a couple colludes after they get i long-term relationship, they could continue dating... but it increases risks of cheating.

This aligns the interest of the daters and the dating company (less infrastructure expenses and also less risks from reserved but unpaid transactions).

There are open relationships, the app can learn to screen for people with profiles that are prone to that and avoid making the escrow offer.
My point is show me the proof. None of the details of how their app works are public and you're telling me what I've seen from personal experience, isn't true.
Post seems very biased towards the now. Stable diffusion et al are very successful with a certain technique but it is foolish to think that is a method which will simply be improved indefinitely.

Generative "AI" will take many forms. Ultimately it will likely remove much of the "technique" element to creation, depriving artists and content owners of income and relevance.

Will this happen overnight? No. I suspect over the next, say, decade, AI will be a beneficial tool more than a threat.

At some point, I expect generative AI to become multi-sensory(sight, sound, touch). Such systems will work from physical models of subjects/environments to produce novel and accurate representations based on rich descriptions and deep contextual awareness of culture. These systems will not think in pixels but in objects and relationships which are then simulated, rendered and filtered to match the desires of the users.

I do applaud efforts of the writers and actors to protect themselves from competition but I believe it will ultimately be in vain. It will be interesting to watch the legal developments in this space. It may be necessary for future generative systems to provide an audit trail showing how they gained an understanding of the world to prove no unauthorized training was performed. This merely raises the bar slightly and does not prevent future generative systems from deriving important relationships via other means, such as 'clean room', high-level descriptions being given(perhaps by other automated processes).

For example, while it may be illegal to train an AI to reproduce Harrison Ford using his copyrighted works or even images captured in a public space, I can reduce Harrison Ford to a set of characteristics which can be passed to a generative system to produce something indistinguishable from the real Harrison Ford. If I am able to document this procedure I see few ways for the legal system to prevent it but then again I am no expert in this area.

For what it's worth, I'm not a fan of current "AI". I have found LLMs to be particularly unreliable and mostly useless. I also find most "AI" generated art to be either boring, inaccurate, or in some way not compelling. That said, I think the trend is becoming clearer.

(author of both) Yes, I'd agree with "almost." Some TLS sites will still work, if you're patient, and that penalty is all on the network side (there's no overhead if it's unencrypted, of course). On the Amiga side the UI/UX is probably pretty zippy once the data is actually transferred.

The machine I ran and demoed it on is a clock-chipped 38MHz '040. Virtually everything will work there at an acceptable transfer speed, including TLS 1.3.

People still want to listen to quality music from artists who have years of practice and experience. You can't reliably get years of experience unless you're getting paid to do it.

Sure, there are exceptions, but it's not the rule. Michael Jackson would not have existed if there was no money in the career. The money is why his father pushed so (insanely) hard.

The counter argument is trash music will just be the norm. And maybe for a while that would happen, but eventually we'll see someone (similar to the private search engines we see today) come out with a new platform with the selling point that artists get a living wage -- as long as the people demand it, and I believe they will.
