Have you watched 'Detectorists'? What do you think of it?
I do so wish we could stop using the term "backdoor". When it comes to computer systems, there is really no "front" or "back" and so any access granted is just another door. This then removes the idea that it can be made "safer" just by calling it something different. There are so many cases of "hidden" or "secret" APIs being made public because people found them, there is absolutely no way that an additional can be made any safer.

Many people (especially men) translate "toxic masculinity" as "masculinity is toxic", which is not the message. Rather, certain aspects of masculinity can be toxic. "Don't share/express your feelings", "Discard/disparage the weak", "real men don't need help", etc. A big part of toxic masculinity is taking aspects of masculinity too far. Teaching your son (or daughter!) how to change the oil and having them help you is fantastic. Calling them a wuss if they don't want to do it and forcing them to do it while they are crying because they are so upset is toxic masculinity. I have a teenage son, and if he was upset about doing chores, I would stop and talk about it with him. Help him understand, by sharing my feelings, that I, too, often hate doing chores, but that if you can figure out the right approach, you can make it an ok thing to do.

Having feelings is natural and good, learning to feel the feelings without reacting without thought is something you can do. Talking about life is good, but complaining about everything is bad.

Independence is great, but relying on others in a community is also great! Being tough is awesome, ignoring others feelings all the time and making fun of people who are struggling is bad.

If you want to find out what toxic masculinity is, why haven't you read about it or watch any of the numerous videos about the subject?

I used this at work for a codegen tool, targeting Kotlin, more C#, and our JS framework.

I had a great time with it, only struggling when I was trying to get the right line breaks between items where the template had loops.
Yeah, I do kinda agree. I've barely ever seen an actual grocery store in downtown Birmingham so I would understand it being hard to walk there, but the only guy I've ever met who doesn't own a car is some guy I play games with who lives out in rural Washington and he never really found it difficult to get food.

I think another factor that I agree with is the lack of fresh produce especially in ghettos, in rural areas I think if it's difficult for you to get food you should really consider growing your own. Sure it's a bit of work, but you learn a lot and the Internet is a great source of information for gardening and recipes.
> Is there any good reason to assume that future AGI will share our sense of morality

I think it would be surprising if it did. Just as our morality is shaped by our understanding of the world and our capabilities, a future AGI's morality would be shaped by its understanding of the world and capabilities. It might do something that we think is terrible but isn't because we lack the capacity to understand why it's doing what it's doing. I'm thinking about how a dog might think going to the vet is punishment but we are actually doing it out of love.
We've been running Scaleway for years (Both VMs and managed k8s).

I hated Splunk so much that I spent a couple days a few months ago writing a single 1200 line python script that does absolutely everything I need in terms of automatic log collection, ingestion, and analysis from a fleet of cloud instances. It pulls in all the log lines, enriches them with useful metadata like the IP address of the instance, the machine name, the log source, the datetime, etc. and stores it all in SQlite, which it then exposes to a very convenient web interface using Datasette.

I put it in a cronjob and it's infinitely better (at least for my purposes) than Splunk, which is just a total nightmare to use, and can be customized super easily and quickly. My coworkers all prefer it to Splunk as well. And oh yeah, it's totally free instead of costing my company thousands of dollars a year! If I owned CSCO stock I would sell it-- this deal shows incredibly bad judgment.

The problem is the definition of "urban or suburban". The census classifies any town of 5000 (!!!) people or more as urban.

I live in a small town of more than 5000 people, so it's technically urban. It takes me 5 minutes to get to the grocery store, but it's technically more than a mile so I am in a food dressert even though I have easy access to fresh produce.

Meanwhile, a company I used to work at keeps on using self hosted MantisBT.

Its maintenance takes like 2 engineer days per year total, if that.
Its initial setup with all the plugins ( of note are those for project management and release tracking) and integrations (e.g. git) took one engineer week if I remember correctly.

And it works just fine for 7 years now, to the point that the only advantage of Jira I see is a slightly fancier looking interface for the regular user. Whilst costing peanuts.

I even prefer the old school Mantis BT look and feel.

The fact that YAML is so bad is why being "understandable by a human" shouldn't be the ultimate goal of any configuration language.

At some level, Google puts these expectations on itself. Features like live traffic updates, road closures and breaking news highlighted on the map tell the average user that they are a reliable source of up-to-date information about something as safety critical as the state of the roads. They use this perception to build market advantage. You can't do that and simultaneously blame the end user for not compensating for being misled, and it looks especially bad when the end user trusted you and died. If every route calculation was forced to directly tell the user "this is not a reliable source of information about your route, please use precaution," that would be a win. But Google probably wouldn't like being forced to call themselves out like that.
My family received this benefit when my father broke his leg and was unable to work. It was amazing and me and little sisters didn't starve for the several months when we had no money.

> My sister and her husband had a 1 year old and were given food stamps, but were revoked after her husband had got a job and they told them this beforehand.

The average family on food stamps gets $350 or so a month. (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/19/what-the-...) No one's turning down a job over that.

> anything but alcoholic beverages at a grocery store can be bought on food stamps

This is similarly untrue. SNAP forbids hot prepared food, which means that super-cheap $5 Costco chicken isn't an option, and folks in shelters without cooking facilities may struggle to find useful choices.

WIC is substantially more painful; only certain approved products can be purchased, and it's very specific; an 8oz container of something might be covered, but when the manufacturer cuts it down to 7.6oz it's no longer purchasable.

> Perhaps cyclists had tried, but they had all been run over.

I'm an American cyclist, and I'm trying to do my part commuting to work by bike.

But I got whacked in the elbow a few weeks ago by the mirror of a car who was offended by having to slow down briefly and go around me... I'd say that 75% of drivers are conscientious, crossing over when there's a gap in the opposite lane to give me more than the 5 feet of space required by local laws (3 feet required by state law). Another 20% don't have a clue what to do around a cyclist and either white-knuckle past me close by, with a shouted "sorry" with their wheel just on the centerline (and no one in the opposite lane) follow a car's length behind my wheel for a mile (at 15-20 mph on 35, 45, or 55mph roads, building a traffic jam of frustrated other motorists who are far more likely to drive aggressively).

Some 5% are actively hostile. I've been whacked in the butt and shoulder by mirrors of people trying to run me off the road, had half-empty beer cans thrown at me, been enveloped many times in the black smoke off of one of many diesel mall-crawlers with the tuner kit that allows them to "roll coal" when they step on the throttle. Some shout "get off the road" as if my road bike would work in the ditch.

I think it's what needs to be done, so I'm doing my part because I'm an able, healthy adult, but it's definitely an activist/enthusiast thing, not a reasonable solution for the vast majority of my state who use 5,000 lbs of steel to move 200 lbs of human to work and back. I will say that I'm happy to see more e-bikes on the handful of trails in the area (yes, even when driven by people who don't know proper etiquette and who are using throttle-only on trails that are supposed to be non-motorized), because it means you don't have to have a VO2 max of 50+ mL/kg/min or an FTP of 3 W/kg to get out of the car.

I've been reading "The Ministry for the Future" by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's inspiring, but what strikes me the most is how unreasonable it is. Floridians and Americans and Europeans alike simply do not respond rationally to the reality of climate change.

PS:

> Moving to Mars is a pipedream for 99.9999% of the population.

I think you're missing a few nines there, multiplying by 8 billion suggests that 8,000 humans could reasonably live on Mars. I'd love to see a manned mission of 2-5 astronauts (supported by a nation-state or international effort) get some science done on Mars within my lifetime, but the idea of an elites-only glass dome city being erected on Mars for billionaires to run away to while Earth wastes away is not even close to reasonable.

> Two other things to take on board here. Firstly, driving much above the speed limit on motorways is a mug’s game. The best way to reduce journey time on long motorway journeys is to make your family perform pelvic floor exercises to strengthen their bladders. At the other end of the scale, we need to think harder before reducing speed limits from 30 to 20mph. In time lost per ten miles, this is equivalent to reducing motorway speed limits from 70 to 33mph.
> Ask any grocery clerk; it’s very common to see someone use SNAP to buy the listed items and then immediately afterwards spend their cash on the other things. Funds are fungible, after all.

Why is this at all surprising? SNAP doesn't cover anything non-food, like cleaning supplies; people still need toilet paper and soap.

It's called "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program". "Supplemental" seems to perfectly describe that behavior.
No, it should have to do with the British Culture, the lack of anti-authoritarian implants in it, or something like that. The fact that there is no broad political opposition to the laws like this one (There are many others enacted in the last 30 years) is just a symptom.
I'm not confused. Certainly not as much as Uncle Sam. Consider the source article. Why didn't the "tightly implemented controls" *prevent* this? It didn't. Uncle Sam is just as human as the rest of us. In fact, Aunt History would argue even more flawed.

Please, let's stop being so naive. It's not working.
That's my initial take, but then I started thinking about all of the costs associated with owning/borrowing a car, particularly in lower income areas that are often food deserts. Or the time (and job/childcare) issues of taking public transit when in a food desert.

Sure, but nobody does that because you're clearly doing something wrong or have done something wrong if you live in a rural area with zero access to a car and nobody who could give you a ride. Counties with rural areas provide public transportation for these people. If you're literally on the brink of starvation, I don't think growing tomatoes is that hard.
Finish Your Projects
Right - I was that grocery clerk at another point in my life. The cashier processing the WIC purchases, specifically. That's why I take issue with such generalizations about abuse of the program. Yes, your own funds are used to purchase the foods not listed on your WIC check, but I saw many people come through who used it to make "good" purchases. Sure, maybe they weren't the pinnacle of health, but at least it looked like they were trying, as opposed to the stereotype of wasting it on junk food and alcohol.

> In short, SkyMiles is no longer a frequent-flier program; it’s a big-spender program.

This is probably how frequent-flier programs should have been run in the first place. Airline don't care that you fly alot, they care that you are a profitable customer.

That means business customers and the wealthy will still be their main clients. This just means they lose the churners and the price sensitive bargain hunters, which almost every airline would be happy to trade away for more business customers.

It's a win for the airline as they keep their core customers happy as their rewards won't change and they'll lose the unprofitable customers who used their rewards programs alot without spending much.

> A 2020 analysis by the Financial Times found that Wall Street lenders valued the major airlines’ mileage programs more highly than the airlines themselves. United’s MileagePlus program, for example, was valued at $22 billion, while the company’s market cap at the time was only $10.6 billion.

This looks alot like car companies whose leasing arms became more profitable than their manufacturing arms for part of the 2000s.

But wallstreet loves companies that they can easily value and this "conglomerate" style business has been out of favour for a while now.

Sooner or later some airlines will spin out their rewards business into a separate company to get the maximum valuation from it. Just like how deregulation lead to the consolidation of airlines, I wouldn't be surprised to see only a couple of rewards programs that every airline uses in a decade.

As usual PE will be the winner. I'd bet Blackstone or Apollo will roll up multiple programs into one or two uber rewards/credit card programs that are spun out into public companies. VISA and Mastercard won't care who owns them. As long as it drives more credit card usage, they'll be on board.

I worked as a community manager for a free-to-play mobile gaming company in the US about 10+ years ago.

The gacha mechanic just absolutely ruined games for normal, everyday users. You had random moms and grandmas write in with the sweetest messages asking for features or reporting a bug.

For the most part, their feedback and requests went right into the garbage can.

Meanwhile, we had people from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore spending $40K USD per week on in app purchases.

Gacha is effectively gambling and exploiting users' propensities for addictive behavior. We would jokingly call it the "Gotch Ya!" mechanic.

Feature roadmaps, bug fixes and A/B tests were all about "optimizing the funnel" -- i.e., how do we get these whales to spend more money or more parts of the app.

Good god, it was so demoralizing.
