the difference is that grocery stores are easy to search completely - don't like the cereal options on the end-cap? just walk down the cereal aisle and see it all immediately.

Amazon on the other hand, actively makes it difficult to search for other products, by not only promoting their own brands at the top, but filling up the rest of the results with sponsored items.

It's more akin to an endcap with highest bidder items, but then every few feet you walk down the cereal aisle, the shelves separate and move farther away so another endcap can slide into view, pushing the cheaper alternatives farther and farther down the aisle the further you walk.

Not to mention the scale of the problem as well, grocery stores are finite, and amazon nearly infinite, at least in terms of how much time it takes to search through everything.
Biology is a great equalizer.

Being upper class and lower class apparently doesn't have significant biological indicator to affect strategies such as these.

The poorest among our society are still mostly drawing in the same amount of calories, and feel happiness and sadness, age mostly in the same way.

There are no indications that billionaires are significantly happier/healthier than us - in fact these indicators are mostly tangential with wealth past a certain point.
My assumption is that they mean Satanic as in "representative of the worst parts of humanity" and not necessarily as in "of the devil himself"
Well, as long as the exchange is not going down right now, there's still money to make and they will just keep trading.

However, there's no reason to keep your assets on exchange if you are not actively trading them. I know many trading firms withdraw daily (or maybe even more frequent), and I would imagine the drills mentioned in the article are probably about withdrawing their assets before EOD.
The real problem is sadly most video game companies are public traded greasefestivals. See Valve for a good honest game company.

Everything? I think instead, we'll just stop making most things out of plastics. We have longer-lasting, more durable materials than plastics already, for when you want something that will actually survive decades or generations. They're metals and woods and stones.

Some things, like wire coatings, will still likely need to be plastic and will become disposable. But most uses of plastic for long-lasting goods will just stop using plastics. Goods will get much heavier, but more durable.

this sounds like a bias looking for data to suit it

I would not expect an LLM to be good at this without specialized training. I have tried prompting for code generation.

I do not know of LLMs that have been specifically trained on, say, the testing corpus of some "lint" programs and against known vulns. As you point out, it wouldn't be possible as a user of an LLM AI to do the equivalent by showing it some vulns, while it would be perfectly reasonable to get an LLM to write, for example, business case studies by showing it examples.
I was about to submit the same comment. This was the thing that would have prevented me from upgrading. I searched if it waa fixed. As it would have affected Little snitch and Mullvad VPN which is essential apps on my mac.

IMO TypeScript’s unsoundness is a red herring. It’s a wise pragmatic design choice, and the alternatives have tradeoffs that were judged to be worse. Whether people run into the particular problems caused by TypeScript’s particular sources of unsoundness is an empirical question. I can’t remember a time it caused me an issue.
Amazon Basics products were previously known for causing fires and destroying electronic devices. See: https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/10/business/amazonbasics-electro...

I don't know if they ever fixed this problem (they have changed suppliers before), but I try to avoid using products from Amazon or no-name Chinese companies that plug into the wall.

Yes, and that raises the question: by what mechanisms do we change our habits?

I like an idea mentioned by James Clear (author of the "Atomic Habits" book) that each action we take is a "vote" towards establishing or breaking a habit.

There are connections between this notion and neurochemistry, such as Hebbian learning.
I think this is a bad argument. It's like saying only because someone clever choose path A it is wrong to choose path B.
I mean, only if the upper-class and lower-class are separate gene pools, which I don't think is the scenario you are describing, at least not over the course of multiple generations. Not with offspring sex being randomly determined, anyway. If a "lower-class" female is mating with an "upper-class" male, then in which direction does the genetic fitness gradient point for the children of such a couple? Try working through it.

Remember that (mitochondria and Y-chromosomes aside) it's not the case that sons inherit their genes from their fathers and daughters from their mothers. The children of an upper-class father and a lower-class mother will have half of their genes from each parent regardless of sex or class.
It would help but it wouldn’t solve ROP. I think it would probably be less useful than gadget reduction, honestly, since there are a lot of useful sequences after a call instruction.

I know, and I applaud the one they recently filed against Anesthesia Partners which is directly at the intersection of PE and healthcare, but they do have limited resources and have to make tough choices about cases they bring and ones they don't, and I wish they would focus on ones that are more impactful for my life (e.g., healthcare, education, housing) than marginal ones like Amazon or the one against Meta acquiring a VR company. I understand their rationale and am generally supportive, I just disagree with the prioritization.

That's not what they're promising.
> I believe that bootstrapping actually forces you to think about how useful the thing that you're building is to people

You can think all you want about it, but until it's in people's hands, it doesn't matter. And when it is, per the earlier comment above, the expectations - in many many many markets - is that the UI/UX matters. IMO it matters far more than it should in early days, but that's just me.

Functionality that solves real problems is ignored because ... well... could be any number of reasons. Didn't like the colors. No dark mode. Something not obvious to people. Not using their language/terms.

> some products are harder to build in a bootstrapped way than others.

Yes - the 'ease' of connecting to an audience of decision makers, and their expectations re: usability... it can be very different between markets and services. And again, per the earlier above comment, expectations are simply much higher than years ago. Competition is stronger in many markets, and often the competition is inertia. "Learn a new system" vs "keep emailing excel sheets around" is still a real thing in a lot of places.

> Downside of CC is it's still too expensive

Some googling suggests that it's $200 per metric ton, is that right?

That would put the cost of capturing the world's entire footprint at $7T per year. That's a lot of money but seems pretty close to worth doing. Especially given that once we decide to do it, it will get cheaper quickly.
is this one of those "random" systems that's actually just a complicated pattern?

It's wild how common those are. It's probably best to assume "random" based contests are actually just complex deterministic sequences and getting random right is the exception and not the rule.

Agreed - I actually think that would solve a lot of this.

Apple could put in as many oem checks as they want, hell, even throw a persistent warning in the settings menu or something to inform and even dissuade but they should absolutely allow it at the end of the day.
Same for me, mostly. I had bumped into problems with apps I use:

* Little Snitch needs a nightly build (status: fixed)

* SoundSource doesn't work (status: fixed)

* SpamSieve v2 doesn't work because Mail.app removed plugin support in favor of extensions. (status: SpamSieve v3 is out now and works)

* Marked 2 broke on docs shorter than 999 visible bytes (status: still broken. Workaround: BBEdit text filter to add a bunch of lorem ipsum)

* Bartender 4 doesn't work. (status: Bartender 5 is out and works)

The OS itself and 1st-party apps have been mostly fine from the first beta.
I haven't noticed that but it's been quite a while since I cooked unprocessed raw pork. I wonder if the intense ammonia smell that builds up in pig factories had anything to do with the smell you experienced.
This is conflating two different things.

If Netflix connects to Comcast in Los Angeles and wants to deliver traffic to Comcast customers in New York, they're using Comcast as a transit network. If Netflix connects to Comcast in Los Angeles and wants to deliver traffic to Comcast customers in Los Angeles, they're not, and getting the traffic between their house and the IX in Los Angeles is what Comcast is charging their own customers for.

Disagree. Bad students wouldn’t bother. It might be the future of learning, but definitely not institutionalized education.
The correlation is complex and im not sure its well understood though. You need to be rich to raise kids, but people in poor countries have more children. Also, Japan (and parts of Europe). They don't seem to control birth rate although quite rich.

It happened a couple of days ago in northern Virginia. It was rainy in the afternoon, which brought the high down.
Getting fossil fuel sourced carbon permanently out of the atmospheric carbon cycle with currently available tech (i.e. planting trees doesn't work because they burn and decompose) is an absurdity.

Perhaps the best you can do is mitigate warming factors, like investing in burning previously vented methane, but that might be risking triggering a Cobra Effect, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_incentive#The_origina...

There's no realistic tech on the horizon that can actually reverse novel carbon emissions. Even if we had that kind of carbon capture tech, we would likely need to devote at least as much energy as we got in aggregate from all our fossil fuel burning human civilization captured over the past century to the project. We're several orders of magnitude in renewable and nuclear generation fleets away from that possibility.

The adults in the room aren't talking about reversing carbon pollution on human timescales anymore. They're talking about planetary heat engineering to adapt to a more densely insulated Earth. That means adapting to a changing environment on the ground, as well as possibly limiting the amount of solar energy entering the system in the first place.

Humanity is entering childhood's end. We can't depend on our mother to do all the work of providing a safe cradle for us anymore. We either grow up and take ownership by proactively managing our environment, or we die. The teenage years are usually painful.

> ...I'm amazed by how healthy and prosperous the average European looks.

Are you sure you're seeing the "average European?" Europe is a pretty big, diverse place. If you're spending most of your time in the wealthier parts of town in a big city, you're going to see a very different Europe than the poor section of a rural village.
Huh. I'm using it without problems. Any chance you're using multiple Safari profiles (new feature in Sonoma) and it's not enabled in the profile you have active?
I'm the cook in our household and for me the article doesn't quite capture my observations... maybe it's because of my location, but it isn't easy to find lamb in my local grocery stores and it is at a super premium relative to other options. The lamb available is so flavorful that I can't imagine something even stronger. Having checked with butcher shops, anything they can get that would be local (rather than from NZ or AUS) is even more expensive, and generally only ground or chops. So... I'm seeing a catch-22 here where it's not really available, therefore people don't eat it. And if the cost is x2+ of other choices, people are going to think carefully about their budget.

Finally, it really is a unique flavor that even for all my culinary explorations, I see it as an occasional change-of-pace rather than a regular part of our menu. Great as doner / gyro, individual kebabs, in stews, but beyond that I continue to be at a loss of what to do with it.

Update: simscitizen has confirmed below that 1Password 7 still works in Sonoma.

This will be the first macOS upgrade I won’t be doing for a while.

I’d like to try it out, but I need to figure out how to migrate off of 1Password 7 (standalone) first or to make sure it still works with Sonoma. (Edit: I'm expecting that 1Password 7 will break with the new OS and make me convert to their subscription product.)

I think that sienfeld episode had a huge impact. That's where I first heard of mutton and I wouldn't try it now unless in dire situations.
I'm not sure I agree but IANAL. Doesn't the fact that the FTC recently filed a case against a PE firm buying up anesthesia clinics and using that to jack up prices run counter to the example of the cost of housing? Or for contractors gouging the gov, my understanding is that PE firms have rolled up small defense contractors and then used monopoly power to gouge the government. That seems pretty firmly in their jurisdiction.

LG halts production of ATSC 3.0-compatible TVs over patent concerns
"This challenging and uncertain patent landscape has forced LG to make the difficult decision to suspend the inclusion of ATSC 3.0-compatibility in its 2024 television lineup for the United States. This decision was not made lightly, because LG has been a vocal ATSC 3.0 advocate, a strong supporter of local broadcasters, and a leading developer of television products with the latest NEXTGEN TV technologies. Going forward, LG will, of course, continue to monitor the patent landscape and its effect on LG’s own product roadmap and overall industry dynamics."
EtymOnline isn't in the business of tracking shifts in the popularity of words over time, they set out to track shifts in meaning. So it's understandable that they don't have any specific contrary evidence in their listing for "said".

As for why they don't include the evidence in TFA, as others have noted, it's the extraordinary claim that "said" dropped to nearly 1/3 of its peak usage that needs extraordinary evidence backing it up. It's plenty sufficient for them to say "this doesn't make any sense at all on its face, and is most likely due to a major shift in the genre makeup of Google's dataset".
A very simple statement may not be as simple as it looks to execute.

The table here is unconstrained (from the article "CREATE TABLE integers (value INTEGER);") but suppose that table had a primary key and a foreign key – a simple insertion of a single value into such a table would look trivial but consider what the query plan would look like as it verifies the PK and FK aren't violated. And maybe there are a couple of indexes to be updated as well. And a check constraint or three. Suddenly a simple INSERT of a literal value becomes quite involved under the skin.

(edit: and you can add possible triggers on the table)
I was about to post the same thing here. BBQ mutton from Moonlite in Owensboro, KY is one of my favorite foods, second only to their burgoo made with mutton. Long, long ago, Owensboro was a major wool production center and river port and there was often a surplus of sheep, so they ate mutton.

> allows potentially complex ETL statements to be handled within a single merge statement. I'm not saying that's always the best practice, but if things are structured in the right way, it may be.

I wonder how often one has the ideal schemas for such. The advantage of an ETL is that it's probably easier to debug, log, and trouble-shoot problems. One-Giant-Do-All-Command is often a recipe for headaches. Being able to "X-Ray" the intermediate pipes really helps troubleshooting.

The X-ray issue is one reason I have trouble debugging functional programming. Maybe there's a way to X-ray better, but I haven't found it yet.

For compute specifically MotherDuck is a scale-up, not scale-out system [0]

Rather, that seems to be an implementation detail. What use cases are relevant is the key. Are we chasing big Apple-sized workloads? No. [1]

That said, scaling-up on EC2, especially with our one-instance-per-user architecture, fits vast majority of workloads we've seen in our past lives building Exabyte-scale systems.
