Or better, only use a VPN to connect to your home network. Ideally one like Wireguard that doesn't respond to unauthenticated requests, so from a hacker's perspective is impossible to discern whether it even exists or not.
yeah, that's not perfect, that's just scalable.

I can understand a DB vendor confusing scalability with perfection, but for an evolutionary biologist, there's no excuse.

Believing this is existential for a thousand AI seed-stage startups. I hope it’s true for their sakes.

Hear the other timeline from Darius Amodei. https://a16z.com/improving-ai/ We may be entering a regime of multi-billion training costs on custom hardware. Open-source AI will be like open-source CPUs. Cool but the real thing even at the smallest scale comes out of monopsonized (is that a word?) inaccessible infrastructure
It’s a healthy thing. Getting back to building on bootstraps means building fundamental value again. If that scares you, or makes you think we are doomed, you might think twice about that perspective.

Downmarket trends make companies solve real problems that generate real revenues and get rid of the easy money that supports unsustainable business models.

They clear out of cruft of technologists who only come to the valley for the high salaries and push common sense technology frameworks that are more focused on productivity than large scale Enterprise-style collaboration to the forefront.

They force essential effort to be applied due to scarcer resources, and discourage frivolity by punishing financial schemes and forcing businesses to focus on the bottom line.

I’d love to see some fundamental restructuring so new generation players can emerge, and unfortunately, in order for the new to come to market, the existing system needs to be shaken up a bit.

Downmarkets are hard, but we need them.

Have you built a .deb with debuild and debhelpers? Can you recall all the goofy rules about what needs to go in each file and what each debhelper does? How do you keep all of it in version control and build downstream packages that depend on the changed one? Have you managed to accidently sneak a local build machine dependency or piece of information by accident into the final .deb only to realize it much later?

I found it be a big ball of easily forgettable twine of rules tools and oddities myself that every time I needed to redo something was a hassle. With many foot guns that lead to odd package issues.

This is still common. Patients are routinely ignored (and if elderly often abused) unless throwing bribes around. Countless cases of deceased friends and relatives in the media.

Absolutely no one in the Eastern block would dream to recommend state-run healthcare. It’s a deeply corrupted mafia organization.

The current system is mathematically unsustainable as a result of politics.

If you're going to untie benefits from payments then the first sensible thing to do is to make the same payments to everyone instead of giving more to people who made more money, but this would result in large numbers of affluent retirees voting against you.

If you're going to untie benefits from payments then the second sensible thing to do is to eliminate social security tax whatsoever and fund the program from general revenues, which would remove the need for the farce of a "social security trust fund" (the government owes itself money: it's a debit and a credit in equal amounts and nets to zero). But then people would condemn you for "bankrupting social security" or "stealing the trust fund" or similar nonsense, funded by the people the tax burden would be shifted onto.

Removing the cap while leaving the program as it is not only is worse than either of these things, it doesn't even solve the problem, because the program as-designed would then be making higher payments to all of those people when they retire which would consume more than all of the money they paid in because people who made more money tend to live longer.

People struggle to change their behavior when confronted with data suggesting something they love is measurably worse for them

In my experience, we decide to just ignore the information and find other reasons to give higher weight to benefits, in order to resolve the cognitive dissonance without requiring a change of behavior

Add up enough of these cognitive dissonances and you find yourself living in a fantasy land where sugar is "fun!" and burning wood indoors is "cozy."

I would not recommend FFI + ctypes. Maintaining the bindings is tedious and error-prone. Also, Rust FFI/unsafe can be tricky even for experienced Rust devs.

Instead PyO3 [1] lets you "write a native Python module in Rust", and it works great. A much better choice IMO.

[1] https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3
yes I understand I can do that, and I also understand why the authors chose to do that, I would have done the same.

My point of view is more from a small saas company perspective (i.e 100% pragmatic):

1. I want as less vendor as possible, especially on something as mission critical as my database
2. I already use AWS RDS and it comes with a LOT of nice things (managed, multi-az, easy backup/restore story, etc.)

In that situation:

1. hosting myself is not an option because I will loose all the niceties that I will have to reimplement
2. buying from a 3rd party is not an option either because:
1. What if they go bankrupt ?
2. We are ISO 27001 and they may be not ISO 27001 themselves or forever.
3. If I choose a vendor because it's "postgres + feature A" then if there's an other vendor selling "postgres + feature B" (timescaledb etc.) what do I do ?

That's why I was more interested in knowing if that specific could one day be implemented in postgres directly (as there's already tsvector).

Once again I'm 100% behind them to have chosen a restrictive license if they plan on selling it, but in that case their interested and mine are not aligned, and that's fine.
I don't really like the firefighter analogy to be honest. A Firefighter is on call but to compensate for their physical well-being they tend to only work 3-4 days a week (even if those 3 days are 24 hours spent in the station, potentially on the weekend). Moreover, fires are inevitable and frequent, despite being sporadic.

I think there is certainly merit to wondering what format a business needs based on client demands, but a mentally focused
white collar job doesn't need to go as extreme as a firefighter who is literally burning out their body in the line of duty.

While I meant globally, and I’m not sure that these stats generalize beyond the US (but they very much might), I’m surprised! I had expected 2/3rd to work at companies under 1000 employees simply because there’s so extremely many of those and many of them need devs.

EDIT woa that page says there’s 320k software engineers in the US. That’s one entire percent of the population! That’s a lot, could that really be true?
I think either approach makes sense depending on who you are.

If your goal is to distribute software across multiple distros and operating systems, bundling dependencies makes sense.

If your goal is to maintain a distro, shared libraries that you can apply a security patch to exactly once is obviously better.

But these are two different people with either goal.

I've never seen an adequate explanation for why the 5 miles of the Second Avenue Subway cost $19 billion. I've seen blame placed on the cost of stations, 3 in particular. But these collectively amount to less than $2 billion.

By comparison, Crossrail in the UK cost a similar amount with a truly massive amount of new track, new tunnels and new stations. London is a reasonable comparison to NYC. London may even be worse given the age of the cities and the whole thing being full of ruins going back to Roman Britain.

This article mentions layers of consultants. Honestly, I think we'd be better off if the government was never allowed to spend another dollar on McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc. They're just an exercise in wealth extraction from the government, providing negative value.
We often think the critical skill is being able to create something of value, but unless it's charity (which has value, dgmw) the critical skill is being able to create something of value to others and then to protect the potential returns. Specifically, this means protecting it from thieves, absconders, seizures, penalties, etc. It's like people saying that good ideas are a dime a dozen, the important thing is execution. Well, one level beyond that is that "execution/schmexecution" - the important thing is capturing a return.

To that end, it's worth asking why our "mechanisms for getting creators rewarded for their efforts suck". Is it because copyright is too weak/too strong? Is it because patent process is overly burdensome/costly/a joke? I don't know, but I empathize with your points entirely and think it's worth thinking about.

Personally, I think there's room for more nuance in the commercial/non-commercial licensing dichotomy. Specifically, instead of using that as a breakpoint for charging licensing fees, maybe having some revenue threshold after which payments need to be made. I was about to say into a general fund to support open-source developers generally, but that would be ripe for corruption, rent-seeking, and self-dealing (like union administration). Better to go straight back to sponsor the project, IMO. Some products do this - free for organizations with less than x revenue. I've not really seen it much in open source though. Some tooling to make this "10 times easier" could be the next github.

But this problem has plagued inventors/creators of all eras. It does seem like we have better tools than ever to deal with it - telemetry, micropayments, etc.
Interestingly, it's the opposite. They made the donations anonymously and were outed by a charity reporter. Likewise, the charities were things like the Sierra Club, various disease research foundations, and the ACLU.
Automating knowledge work -> increasing labor productivity.
One priority would have to be getting the NY state government out of the city’s public transportation organizations. Right now, everything is subject to state politics because the state controls the MTA.

Another would be making motorized individual methods of transit more and more painful and expanding bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure (this is often two birds with one stone). This will get the public to support politicians that make public transportation the priority.
There are a few window tracking apps that will track and allocate your time. Phones have them too.

I discovered that while tracking the time is helpful and enlightening the big change for me, going from using my phone 4 hours a day to 80 minutes was when I messaged a group of others who would share their weekly stats.

Girls I know spend 7 hours a day on their phones. Weekly reports tell me this. There is no shame. No insults. Just silently sharing.
The problem is that NYC doesn't control the MTA: it was taken under state control back in 1968. And the governor has too many other issues on his/her plate to care enough to give the agency the top-to-bottom revamp it desperately needs. No one gets elected governor of the whole state of NY by campaigning on 'I'll fix NYC's subways' as a message, and indeed some of the more recent governors (Pataki, A. Cuomo) seemed to delight in stomping all over the mayor of NYC and use that for political gain.

You skipped directly from the Lotus-derived Roadster to Cybertruck. That misses that a notable auto industry designer led the design of Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y. These are the models that made Tesla a long-term viable vehicle OEM. There is no diminishing that accomplishment.

You are probably right that Cybertruck is Elon's personal project to revolutionize car design. It will probably go about as well as most attempts to revolutionize car design.
I worked for an ambulance company that has had one of our local hospitals try to throw us or our employees under the bus on at least two occasions in five years:

1) understand that there are two types of ambulance (generally) - basic life support and advanced life support - the latter carries invasive care options, and narcotics, the former does not. They called us for an interfaculty transport approximately 200 miles. Patient was given pain meds before transport. Late in transport, EMTs on a BLS ambulance (no narcotics physically on board the ambulance) noted the patient was in profound respiratory depression and treated that - arriving at the hospital, it was discovered that the patient had been given vastly too much narcotics. Originating hospital insisted that it must have been given in transport. Kept insisting all the way to a DOH hearing. The EMT and the ambulance company were cleared and the hospital and nurse faced repercussions for documentation, administration, cover-up issues, but they still had to have their day in "court" to get to that point.

2) A deputy cracked his neck, and unbeknownst to him, partially severed a blood vessel. He contacted EMS complaining of nausea and vomiting. Among other things, a stroke test was done (negative) and he was taken to the hospital. CTs were done, and the physician at the hospital was insistent that all was clear, and was about to discharge him with vertigo, while other deputies insisted something was seriously wrong, and getting worse with him. Another provider sent scans to a major trauma center who noted that he had indeed had a stroke. He was also now failing a stroke test. He was transferred and treated but irreversible damage had occurred needing 24/7 nursing care, and lawsuits were launched. He died a month or so later. The hospital tried to throw EMTs under the bus, saying that they failed to diagnose or tell the hospital that the patient was having a stroke. Even though at the hospital another initial stroke test was performed by a physician with a negative result. The hospital then said there were subtle signs that in hindsight the EMTs "should have recognized" (but apparently a physician should not have been expected to...). That case is still ongoing, but the ambulance company managed to extricate itself after settling for policy limits (which was farcical in itself).
Oh no, it will get far worse.

The congestion tolls are both going to send tourists and business fleeing. Manhattan will be a beautiful playground for the people who live there until things start failing.
It is my understanding that the failure conditions of these boards is present in all competitors as well. For example, if the top speed of the board is exceeded, the motor is no longer sufficiently powerful to keep balance or slow properly. That appears to be an inherent flaw in the technology that could only trivially be addressed with a much more powerful motor. To my understanding, none of the competitors address this problem, and the characteristics between them are all pretty comparable.

It seems to just be this one company that is targeted. Is my understanding of that/the differences between them not accurate?
And that's not even counting that somehow they got humans to provide for them without being food like other farm animals.
