get involved with a startup accelerator. there will probably be one at a local university or college. There are also usually innovation/startup/buisness advisors and programmes at the local government level who can help. These guys will be able to get your foot in the door for grants programms that will start you on the way to clinical trials and approval. I'm doing a medical device in the EU right now and we are further ahead than you in our journey but still going, as always.

The key is just to speak to people. There are many people that have done this before. You will find that an optimal approach becomes spending the vast majority of your time speaking to people, via phone email and yes in person. It's been a transition for me who is a product guy first and foremost but tbh it has been nessacary, I see many products that don't yet or even can't ever exist with much more funding and backing behind them because they got the right contacts and made the right pitch, and you can too.
Gartner has placed AI at peak hype cycle recently.

Also in the last few years since a around 2010 when CNNs starting catching hold there have been several leaps that came with new hype. From deep dream images to what we have now.

I suspect gartner is correct here though as the next leaps in performance might be some time away.
Interactive article explains how a mechanical watch works
In another sense, they're long obsolete, but that doesn't mean they weren't impressive technical achievements of their day.
Just because you pay doesn’t mean you aren’t the product.

They knock off famous watch designs. Their whole Patriot line is meant to look like Richard Mille. I'm showing my bias but if you want a mechanical go right to Seiko instead of this company putting Seiko cases that are meant to make you look like a soccer player who just got his signing bonus.

Wouldnmt youtube play videos inside videos? How you gonna block that?
Judging from the article, it seems that the only reason for this is to shut down regulators with this argument: "You want us to stop tracking users? Users already have that option, it's a subscription". So I believe the pricing is intentionally outrageous, it's not really meant as a reasonable choice.

It's a nice enough reminder about the limitations of abstractions but the thesis isn't as strong as it is classically regarded to be.

Something that is inherent to any abstraction is giving up control; this is simply necessary in order for the abstraction to have implementation space. Take the example of SQL queries that are slow. The abstraction itself isn't leaky unless the queries give the wrong results sometime. The abstraction isn't some guarantee about the run-time of a query.

An abstraction abstracts away N of M parameters (N < M). Joel would presumably say that N has “leaked”. But more straightforwardly you can say that these concerns have been abstracted away.

Therefore the Law—always a good sign when the original author calls it a “law”[1]—can be restated as: all abstractions abstract.

I am a Senior Software Engineer / Cloud Architect with 9+ years of experience specialized in designing and building both Serverless and Containerized applications on AWS.

I have experience working in from early stage startups to large businesses with different domains including e-commerce, freight forwarding and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, adtech and more.

I am interested in both contractor and full time opportunities.
WSL is linux. HyperV runs windows and linux as guests.

It’s only slower if you trigger many world switches.
Is it ad free? I thought it would still have ads, just not personalized.
Selling your data = "pay us $$$ and we'll give you the name, email, phone number, DoB, SSN, interests, credit score of a million users". Plenty of companies do this today (both legal and illegal), but Facebook isn't one of them.

Selling targeted ads = "pay us $$$ and we'll show your ads to people who match the criteria you select". This is very different from the former.
What are you talking about? It has an entire paragraph explaining why they did the tests in sheep.

"The trial was conducted in sheep, because of their similarity to humans in many important respects including cardiac anatomy and physiology. They are also well-established as an animal model to assist with finding ways to combat heart disease that translate to humans."
I wasn’t speaking from the customers point of view but the producer’s. I was making a supply side argument for why we don’t have more local first software. But you’re right. I did’t get into friction or lack thereof as a factor.
Not engaging is a perfectly reasonable choice, especially when the negatives of engaging outweigh the positives.

More selectively engaging could also work, in theory. In practice though, I suspect people succumb to industry engagement stimulation techniques and get pulled back in completely.
Not that I use instagram, but why would I pay for ads removed when every other post is an ad anyways?
>>I think that will be incredibly powerful ... if it can be trusted. Trouble is now I can't trust these things to get these sort of things correct, so you end up having to double check everything and make corrections etc so you are not really saving that much time.or effort.

This is the thing for me. I hear about people building apps and stuff but I can't get a working correct script from ChatGPT. Maybe it's me, maybe it's improved, IDK, but the last few times I tried to grab a script for something I was working on, that script had multiple errors.
Can you say a bit about using it for your business? Curious how people are using IPFS in the real world.

Why "scary"? Why is this "unrelated" if it's a police work database? It's a known statistic that many are both repeat offenders and opportunistic, why should markers --like fingerprints-- be actively expunged?

Why the scare mongering?
> apparently they waited outside a few weeks to give the Germans time to kill as many remaining civilians as possible so they could set up shop themselves

That's... a misrepresentation of a complex historical event, to say the least. Polish government-in-exile made a bet that Home Army forces could overthrow Germans on their own and restore 1939 border with Soviet Union. And Home Army explicitly planned Operation Tempest to be executed before Red Army liberated the whole Poland. Should they succeeded, Soviets would have to negotiate with a sovereign Poland, instead of coming there as a heroes-who-liberated-Poland-from-Germans.

As the history goes, the bet failed an the uprising was drowned in blood. But it's stupid to blame Soviets for not helping the regime which was profoundly anti-Soviet.

History knows no ifs, but should Poles cooperate back then, probably they could achieved the same result with a lot less of blood.

When did we create a fast being? Is maths enough to describe a being totally? Time will tell I guess.
I think this is a "trick" to get around the GDPR. Many European newspapers already do this:

The GDPR says that it is not allowed that the user who denies their personal data to be stored experiences negative consequences because of that.

So in theory, behavioral advertising is dead in Europe. Because nobody would voluntarily agree to be tracked.

For some reason, many companies go the "Our service is available in two flavours: With behavioral advertising and as a paid service" route. And it seems that has not been challenged in court yet.

I wonder how it could be legal, because not having free access is a negative consequence, isn't it?
I think individual self-knowledge is often flawed. There are many strange, damaged, malfunctioning, drunk, medicated, hallucinating, meditating, dreaming and variously other disturbed minds, which have objectively flawed impressions of themselves and their surroundings.

Their doctors, or even a casual observer, will have much more concrete objective knowledge of their state of mind than the subjects themselves.

As hardware progresses it will become increasingly possible to train your own dragon in your own catacomb. I'm unsure what kind of edge it would give to do an unethical/illegal employee review, credit rating, investment portfolio etc etc but if it only seems like it would give an advantage people will do it.
> I thought that way when I was young too...then I learned how funds-matching and compound interest works.

I know very well how they work. It still isn't worth the penalties. There are better investments that can get more effectively leveraged sooner, while there are still things to spend it on. All evidence is that the next 30+ years are kinda going to suck, buy personal infrastructure, invest in your health, enjoy access to global travel while they are things you can spend money on.

You won't even have the cash to burn to keep you warm if you leave it in a 401k forever.
Facebook is basically the only place on the internet where I actually like the ads.

I've discovered and bought many products from them and Facebook gives me a clean way to block and report ads that I think are bad.

Honestly my biggest complaint is that I'll often see something in a Facebook ad, want to buy it 2 months later and there's no way for me to look up which ads I saw on Facebook 2 months ago.
Wouldn’t removing zoning make the local government smaller and more efficient? While also allowing the free market to take effect, and also decrease the tax burden on residents by adding new ones?

You are arguing two completely unrelated topics as if they are connected: zoning and welfare.

Personally, I’d still argue it doesn’t.

If you remove information for the reasons you stated there are ways to indicate to the reader that more information still exists but was not included (for example “…” “[article]”). That’s just editing because it preserves the intent of the author.

If these are not employed, the information was censored/suppressed even if it was to correct bad writing.

Passionate about front-end development, I'm actively seeking a role that allows me to elevate my proficiency in React, explore new frameworks, and contribute holistically to the development process. While my focus is on front-end, I welcome the opportunity for a full-stack position as it aligns perfectly with my interests and aspirations.

Keen to deepen my expertise in front-end development, I am actively seeking roles that allow me to focus and grow in this specific domain. Open to junior to mid-level positions
um holy shit, the headline is "Detroit man steals 800 gallons" and....they have not caught or identified the person who did this ???

what? women can't be hacker criminals ? this is a news channel with real editors who we assume graduated high school and went to college ?

to be clear, when I read "detroit man does X", I assume we are going to hear about the actual person, that is, they are known. so it's jarring to follow that headline with it flipping around the terminology, in the first paragraph "Detroit man" singular becomes "scammers" - oh it's multiple people? are they all from Detroit?

this is why news consumers are so stupid. "facts" are some kind of handwavy thing for nerds
Literally all of the gas stations I frequent have disabled this feature (or made it a more complex series of button-presses) in the last year or so. :(

That said, GP's assertion that the station can make up for stolen gas with ads is nonsensical and dishonest.
I used this one before. I'd simply write "in your email, mention what you had for breakfast". The success rate was about 60%.

I was also put off by the static, repetitive sounds. My suggestion would be to record 5-10 sounds and pick randomly, slightly tuned them up/down with some filtering.
Most rural areas away from interstate highways can still pay after you've pumped, without needing to leave your license or anything else.
Some things I support, like legalizing accessory dwellings, but radical measures such as banning single family development, or recklessly allowing large multifamily homes on small lots, I do not, as it changes the character of the town and doesn't help existing residents.
I don't see how Heisenberg comes into this. I'm intentionally excluding anyone who definitely wouldn't deserve the dealth penalty as a premise. I mean someone who is determined guilty by an oracle, or if that doesn't satisfy you, a person who had intent and premeditation, and is acting alone.
Will it give me the option to only see stuff from people I follow? Because the worst part of Facebook and Instagram is not the ads but the content that is shown to me to keep me engaged. I want to scroll my friends pictures and when there are no new pictures I want the feed to stop. I'd pay for this even if am still shown targeted ads.
Well, apparently I offended a lot of people by merely providing a piece of information about computer architecture curriculum. I apologize for commenting.

That is indeed a bizarre theory. No amount of kudos from golfing buddies is going to make up for the raises they could have given themselves for cutting office costs.

One thing I expect to happen is companies will install more one-person soundproofed cubbies for salespeople to make calls without disturbing the entire floor, or people to have videoconferences.

What I would love to see is now that offices are less loaded, have more individual offices where people can concentrate and work rather than open-plan layouts that were really introduced because they are space-efficient, mealy-mouthed rationalizations about collaboration notwitstanding.
YouTube is interesting because most large creators, who take a majority of views, also have ad space inside their videos
No social media for the broke, in this scenario.
Again though, you need to examine your expectations here. These are not Admins who have qualified for a job - some might happen to be that, but most are not. Most are just people who want this to happen, again, and are doing their best.

That being said, new tools come out all the time to improve the situation; "we" (I am not an admin, just a fan) are figuring out what a functioning federated social network needs by doing a federated social network. Mistakes will be made.

The answer to the mistakes is not retreating to "monolithic single-entry service only without billions of dollars of startup capital," which is what your advice to only go to the biggest instance smacks of.

There is a new thing, I encountered the hashtag yesterday but I can't recall it now and I didn't look closely, but it's some sort of database I think in which instance admins can leave notes and ratings of other instances, or something like that. I wish I could remember the hashtag, but it looks to me like an attempt to at least start setting up a clearing house type thing for the deeper details of instance administration.

I believe the problem it was created to solve has more to do with moderation and lazy admins who don't bother doing it, but it could easily be extended to examine the settings of instances and give users optics.

I'm certainly not saying that you should not point out that this is happening, by the way, and if your admin was lazy/complacent/obnoxious about it, you are quite correct to leave. I, likewise, chose to leave the main instance some time back, and I'm not gonna get into why, it was different and personal reasons, and the miracle of this network is that I found a new place that suits me as well.

I do think your piece reads as entitled and ignorant, and you should give it a rewrite with a better understanding that you are addressing a community, not a company.

edit: OP has decided he doesn't want me to comment further apparently, I am no longer able to reply, but I can still edit.

In response to the reply below, I lost all my posts on Lemmy a few weeks ago because of a CSAM post attack which basically made them need to wipe the database, from what I read. Shit happens when you're doing something out of pocket with nothing but what's at hand.

The entire Fediverse is experimental and held together with duct tape and spit. Don't make the mistake of thinking it isn't again.

That said, I stand corrected in my original, flip response. lapcat did not advocate going back to Twitter.
My friend does this and it was genuinely jarring when I was watching with them.
Sure, but they can ban him from driving until he does. I'd say they probably have a better capacity to investigate than the police in this circumstance.
because it's easy for the end users. which is probably the most important feature rather than ease of control for devs. This has often been my experience in most things. They seem to be optimized for the end user and not the configurator.
Many states no longer use grand juries, and maybe some never did (I’m unsure on this detail). That particular federal constitutional protection has never been held by the courts to bind the states. But yes, Texas does have grand juries for felonies and a few misdemeanors (not most).

Tangent: it’s spelled indict, not indite (but it is pronounced as if it were indite)
Yeah, I can't see that they are pulling in close to that number per month with ads.
Using GitHub Actions and Neon to Validate Database Schema Changes
Hi! I’m Nicole, a full stack developer at Autoblocks. We help product teams continuously refine their AI-powered products.

I recently open-sourced the code that helps us use GitHub Actions and Neon DB for seamless database schema change validation.

Here are some highlights from our blog post. [1] Feel free to check out the repo for more details! [2]

> Serverless Postgres Database

Autoblocks uses Neon for serverless Postgres database management. This simplifies the complexity of managing
database changes, reducing engineering overhead.

> Automate Neon Branch Creation

Use GitHub Actions to trigger Neon branch creation for database migrations. This automates the workflow, creating a
Neon branch only when there are changes in the migrations folder, optimizing resource usage.

> Dry Runs on Production Data

Test database changes on a copy of the production data before actual deployment, increasing reliability and
reducing risks.

> Automated Deletion of Branches

Automatically delete Neon branches post GitHub branch merge/delete. This ensures a clean environment by
automatically removing temporary database branches.

> Extensible Setup (smoke tests, Vercel preview environments, etc.)

Use Neon branches for various test scenarios and environments, not just database migration checks.

> Direct and Pooled Connections Supported

Offers the choice between two types of database connections: direct for immediate tasks like migrations and pooled
for queue-based tasks like tests.

Have you tried using an ad blocker on youtube?
There are some commenters here scratching their heads over the business mode, which makes sense, because who would pay for Facebook? It is silly. But,

> The Silicon Valley-based company has until the end of November to comply with a Luxembourg court ruling from this year which found that Facebook “cannot justify” the use of personal data to target consumers with ads unless it gains their consent. The court said companies should explore a subscription model in its ruling.

This is obviously not a serious offer, it is just so they can tell the court “I told you so.”

Facebook’s business model is not really compatible with a society that values privacy. But I don’t think anybody wants to be responsible for pointing out the incompatibility.
Letters which are sorted separately from what we'd think of as the base characters in English (they appear at the end of the alphabet, as W X Y Z Æ Ø Å, with C often omitted in Norwegian).

By contrast, my French dictionary has énorme nestled between enorgueillir and enquiérir. (Looking for an example does underscore some of the patterns in the language: page after page of ét~ with only a few et~ and one êt~ among them; pages of ex~ with no éx~ at all.)
You’re comparing apples with oranges. Just because both products are called “a watch” doesn’t mean they’re interchangeable.

It’s like comparing a wired phone to a smartphone because they’re both “phones”.
> Meta just found out about it.

Well, they didn't just find about it, they knew about it from the very beginning and employed every trick in the book to weasel out of it.
