Yes, these things have been done, but largely end up being abandoned. If the maintainer doesn't want to port to Meson or whatever your alternative is, they're pretty useless - your "best effort" port will break arbitrarily. If the maintainer does want to port to Meson, it's probably easier for them to write what the build should be from scratch than pull anything out of autoconf.
A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley. I’ve ingrained many of her lessons as habits.
I am surprised you think that the deposit market is that liquid and yield-driven enough to claim I’m making errors!

To answer your question, I along with most Americans will keep it in my checking account because I use it as a working capital account and not an investment account. The median consumer checking account balance is <$10k and hasn’t yielded anything above 1% in a generation. [0] I will keep a relatively flat balance in my checking account indefinitely - long enough for the Treasuries to cycle.

Your argument works for banks like Schwab, but BoA’s deposits don’t look the way you think they do. Americans looking for yield never put their money into places like BoA anyway (it’s not like they ever competed on rates as long as anyone can remember).

Besides, wouldn’t we have already seen the flight if that was going to happen? Why now are depositors going to wake up to higher yields at smaller institutions? To date, BoA’s deposits are roughly following the trend of all deposits [1]

Amazon Starts Delivering Medications by Drone in Texas City
Both games have a mutual influence in Starflight.
Not having better ways to reach support is part of the problem. For the DVD days they always took care of my issues (mainly broken/scratched/lost disks) but everything was handled through their website. I'd have liked more options. Today it's so much worse. You pretty much have to call them on the phone. Last time I called them I'd had problems with their subtitles. I spoke to a rep and they took all the info, then never fixed the problem (at least not for over a year, maybe it's better now? I gave up)

We at Instacart use them heavily. It is a system my team built called Bento Remote ("Bento" is a local orchestration tool we previously built). We built Bento Remote ourselves because Codespaces was in its infancy at the time and really couldn't meet our needs for things like pre-built images, preserved disks, warm pools, live patching, and being behind our firewall. Bento Remote was and is hugely successful and likely one of the largest boosts to developer productivity in our history.

With Bento Remote get a fresh new fully dedicated EC2 machine in about two minutes from when you run `bento remote create`. It is continuously tested on every merge and verified to function. Everything you need is preinstalled and ready to go. Just connect VSCode to it and start coding. No futzing around getting your local environment to work. Break something on your Bento Remote? Throw it away and get a new machine. Switching projects? Grab a new machine from the pool that is preconfigured for that project. Your settings travel with you.

We had a potentially unique set of circumstances though. Our full stack development requirements were VERY high and needed 64GB to even run our largest and most active apps. This made other 3rd party tools fantastically expensive. Building it ourselves let us fit instacart specific needs and workflows. As well as do clever things like hibernating the EC2 instance after hours when the users laptop is idle. This plus a host of other measures were essential to making this not only cost effective but a large net gain.

So I highly recommend everyone at least take a look and evaluate if you have the need. Start with the SaaS versions and see.
Amazon’s core competency is what exactly? Grocery stores? cloud computing? Streaming video and music? Devices? Logistics? Advertising?
Figma uses a similar solution for their realtime feature. They have a famous article that explains why CRDTs aren’t necessary when you have a central server authority. https://www.figma.com/blog/how-figmas-multiplayer-technology...

I can see myself buying something like that. Just to have the assurance of getting a genuine and decent cable. Because third party cabling is a shitshow. And it's the kind of thing I would buy once and then it lives with the computer and screen setup that stays unchanged for years.

Why charge a monthly minimum and not just take a larger % of loan volume to make it more accessible to early stage Fintechs?

Those who are funded well enough to cover $10k monthly expenses can likely afford to go straight to some combination of LendFlow, LoanPro, Canopy, Peach, etc.
$229?[0] I don’t find that to be excessive. You gotta hit four digit to get my tear ducts to engage.

The Comprehensive Guide to mypy
This reminds me that the last time Netflix was good (actually, excellent) at suggesting to me was when they used 5-star ratings. When the replaced the UI (still 5-stars behind the scenes) with simple thumbs-up/thumbs-down it started giving me mediocre suggestions, then gradually became mostly terrible at suggesting.

You could still see your old ratings on the DVD/Blu-ray side, and even still mark "not interested" there. I used to love seeing the predicted rating, and how often it was right or nearly right.

I seem to recall reading that the algorithm that won the prize 'proved' that up/down ratings were as predictive as the 5-star system? My results disagree.

At least they eventually added a two-thumbs-up option. Slightly better than binary. I resort to thumbs-down on stuff I don't want to see (sometimes even though I haven't watched it).
Battery is at least 20% too small then. The trade off with making it bigger is not for the user it's between engineering and marketing, which is dumb.

I could not have articulated it like this, but looking back on my career i can see it playing out, in my own work and the work of others.

But it's probably worth pointing out that while cathedrals are built, with one architect's vision, not all people are capable of envisioning a cathedral. Many see only ugly 4-walled-flat-roof sprawl. They might build it really well, but its still sprawl.

Equally, things improve with practice and time. My early work may be "single vision", but I'm more skilled now, my vision is clearer and my execution of that vision is improved.

Wonderful software, like wonderful buildings, are wonderful partly because it is not common.

Good vision is partly driven by talent, partly by experience - good software is the result of both great architecture and a capable team willing to work in service of that vision.

Of course all good builders want to be architects, and few want to be remembered as the successor to someone else's vision.
So people near me just put their house on the market... in October... with 8% mortgage rates.... I have no idea what they are thinking. I know they aren't putting it on the market because of financial or health or family reasons. I just boggles my mind.

I have studied at least a little combinatorics, and the language here is completely inpenetrable to me. Neither the question of "what property is this design supposed to have?" or "why does it have it?" are stated in plain or even mathematical english. The wiki entry is similarly unhelpful.

Same way tech products get named -- the Marketing department does it and it is kind of a cultural thing in industries to have a naming technique that follows other brands in style. In tech this would be similar prefixes and removing vowels and using completely unrelated but common words for branding. In pharma they tend to use words that have pseudo-latin fixes ('Nexium'), alchemical sounding names ('Elixophyllin'), or fake-science/medical sounding terms ('Crestor'), and my favorite, words that sounds like they are life-giving or philosophically pleasant states of mind or physicality ('Abilify')
> Second, never keep a balance in Wise. Just use it for transfers. It's good for US/EU since transfers are close to instant.

These two statements seem to contradict each other. How can you have an instant transfer (out) if you don't keep a balance?
Very cool. Would love to see this for other (closely related) genres e.g. Jungle, Drum n Bass, House, etc.
What I would like to see:

- stop recommending videos from subscribed channels that are in some case over a decade old. Sometimes I want to watch those but I go directly to the channel to filter by oldest.

- stop recommending videos I've already seen. The fact that there's a "new to you" filter allllll the way to the right in what ever they call the filter bar is, tells me there's a user need for it that some product manager is trying to minimize.

- be more specific with recommended videos. Currently I am supremely interested in educational videos specifically related to new 3d printing videos where the creator takes 2d images to 3d printable models. Yeah that is very specific, and I absolutely know that new videos on that topic are being produced because different searches find relevant videos some times.

- search should only include relevant search results. Ffs it's so annoying that more than half of the search results are shorts and then "related" content. I don't give 3 shits about related videos. I just simply want to see all of the search results in descending order of relation to my search term.

- there are more
> Does everything need to scale? I personally quite enjoyed the web back in the day where most communities were running on tiny boxes managed by a single hobbyist.

It's just not only matter of scale. I follow content creator that posted some of his content on his personal website. but man, the user experience is night and day compared to youtube. loading video is slow, cant fast-forward before hit buffering, also no content discovery either.

Paying for Youtube premium is no-brainer because i just get more value of it compared to even Netflix.
I'm surprised so many people think of it as a circle too. I guess it makes sense, since it's a cycle, and we already use a circle for clocks. But it never occurred to me. In my head it's a straight line with notches, like a ruler, with another ruler at each end for the next and previous years.
Black Mirror creator doesn't fear AI because it's "boring," "derivative"
Project Aya is a multi-institution collaborative project to accelerate multi-lingual AI and make sure diverse languages are properly represented in datasets and this wave of large language models. The first release is targeting 101 languages.

I'm one of the contributor to the project and all data and model will be open-sourced.

We're looking for more contributors across many languages! It’s quite easy to contribute. No knowledge of ML/AI required. And you can make a big difference for the languages you’re fluent in! There are less than two months left in this phase of the project.

More details about the project also at: https://txt.cohere.com/aya-multilingual/
Both would be good. My experience working on open source projects involved months of working with the maintainers and community to reach consensus on designs and implementation details. That is a very useful skill, but you aren't going to get that on a pet project. On a pet project however, you'll get to see what they can do when they move fast which will give you better insight into their engineering capabilities.
Do you use any other streaming sites? Because all of the ones I've used are significantly worse.

Most video platforms don't seem to give a shit whether their keyboard controls work consistently (or whether they have any), or being able to reload the page and resume playback from the last known video/timestamp when things fail due to some unrecoverable error. I've been too busy cursing every other site to notice whether YouTube is bloated.
Same here. It's like a bunch of rulers lined up.
Yeah I agree, no mutation here as far as I can tell
Strain relieve on cables is a known remedy. Apple just decided they cannot do it in an aesthetically pleasing way.

I run the media tech department of a university, so I have more experience than I wanted to ever have with how to treat cables right. Put the spring of an old ball point pen over the end of the cable right where it comes out of the magsafe block. Never wind the cable tightly around other things (e.g. the charger block), cables typically have a minimum bending radius that you should not go below.

Do this and the cable will last longer than the computer (freak accidents excluded).
> Vehicle manufacturing isn't related to Amazon's business.

This is a somewhat funny thing to say about a company whose "business" has gradually come to include: B2C e-commerce, B2B e-commerce platforms, web hosting (AWS), brick and mortar grocery store chains (Whole Foods and Fresh/Go), pharmaceuticals, healthcare (One Medical), Twitch, streaming video games (Luna), film and television production (in-house and through its acquisition of MGM), consumer electronics (Kindle, Alexa, Fire), home security (Ring), robotics, and satellites (Kuiper).

How many of these were "related" to Amazon's business, which, as we all know, is selling books through the mail?
Love NixOS. Flakes are awesome and I've started playing with flake-parts+devenv. It's been far easier and faster to set up isolated environments(nothing installed globally) than docker compose, that and it's substantially more performant (especially on non-Linux OSs). I've also found of the container route that you usually still need to set yourself up locally for most of the tooling or have a fairly complicated set of images for different use cases and/or set it up with the complexity of a full OS anyway.

Started a new job recently and had my laptop up and running, ready to code in about an hour (only second nix box I've brought up), by day 3 I was building and running the main monolith monorepo with my own local flake. I have since replaced redis, postgres, and two ancillary services in containers with devenv services/processes; it's been really great not dealing with docker volumes, networks, images or building containers and managing pruning them.

It would be interesting to play with automating deployment of my nixos machine configuration into a cloud VM or pod as I work 99% CLI anyway, but I just don't really see the need... this is just easier.
DxO came bundled with that rootkit disguised as DRM. No idea if they still do, but I've not bothered with them since. The C1 workflow never reall gelled with me, but really neither do the asset management thing that Lightroom does so well (although to some extent Aperture came close).
Adblocking users still provide value.

Their clicks, watch time, shares, likes, comments, searches, related videos etc provide valuable training data for recommendations. They may share the video with others who watch with ads enabled. They still watch product placement, endorsements and advertisements embedded within the video, incentivizing creators to continue using the platform. They likely use the service on multiple devices, only some of which skip ads.

Alienating their young, tech-savvy and socially connected & influential users may not harm their bottom line in the financial quarter they role out the change, but it could certainly negatively impact the longer term prospects and give an upstart the opportunity to challenge their current near-monopoly.
Moving creators might be easier than you think, it only take a few mess ups on the YouTube side to trigger it.

There is no real community on YouTube, you're there to watch videos, not making friends. And video hosting is flexible, one video can be hosted on different places.

Sure, YouTube was very smart that they changed how the home page worked, so now people rely on YouTube to explore and discover video for them, BUT it won't change the fact that you're still there to watch videos.

Now I through about it, maybe that's why YouTube is so careful about their public relationships.
Do things like Wix, Weebly, Wordpress count as CDEs?
So if I already converted to Apple Music and load an iTunes legacy version, will this have to duplicate the Music library?
I have done this too. I set up a jellyfin, and re-ripped all my old dvds and blu-rays. I am also renting and ripping blu-rays from my library a lot too.

It isn't just the lack of content, content suddenly being removed, or even the expense and hassle of dealing with 5+ different services; it is that the overall experience has really degraded.

I find jellyfin with the content I want to be a superior experience in every single way.

IF content providers would offer a digital version DRM free, I would purchase a ton of TV shows and movies directly.
That is freaking awesome.

Feels like every nerd should have one.

Would be cool to have a version where it measures the resistance of the power wires too
That quote is pirate propaganda.

1) All of the heavy lifting is done sneakily by the word "purchasing." Of course "purchasing" something feels like you ought to own it, but did you "purchase" X or did you just pay for limited access to it? That's the entire debate, but this quote baits you into thinking of everything in terms of purchasing / panders to people that already do.

2) This quote amounts to "if paying cannot get you full ownership of X then getting a full copy of X for free is not stealing (so go ahead)." How about you always pay the creator and then pirate only for the additional ownership rights? I'm sure the quote reads that way to some people, but clearly it was crafted to also appeal to the "I just want stuff for free" crowd.
I've never understood why these companies don't just add a redline: make the battery chargeable to 110%.

By default have it stop charging at the recommended 100%, but let the user decide if they need that to go beyond that and are willing to damage their battery health to do so.
Yeah $229 is about $229 too much for something that comes bundled with a rootkit (nee Pace Interlok). Lightroom was about $140 ($80 for an upgrade) with no DRM, and pretty slick asset management.
Why should a Democrat with wildly different ideology support McCarthy for speaker, especially in light of his bad faith such as raising a spurious impeachment inquiry against Biden? Why should they believe that voting for a speaker opposed to what they believe is best for the country is best for the country?

This is a failure of government and unity within the Republican party. If there is some moderate that could form a coalition between the parties, great. Wonderful. Let them be speaker. But no Republican has tried (or at least, no one has gotten even a single vote across party lines).

This clown show does not enhance the image of the Republican party, instead lessening it. It only heightens the image of the ultra-conservative because their base is not rational and doesn't recognize that any result will be touted as a win.
In similar manner: "what about silicon photonics?"

IIUC fiber transceivers have become better than baseband copper differential pair transceivers for same-rack cluster interconnects.

And the main issue with them is packaging difficulty/needing to have a cheap link to the switching fabric data plane, if these benefits are to remain strong after accounting for the overhead that result from not being able to integrate the PHY on the same die as the fabric data plane.
Both efficiency and cost.
> We now know through FOIA requests that the authors of the pivotal Proximal Origin thought privately that there was a significant likelihood that SARS2 was lab derived

What we learned from the FOIA requests is that some authors initially privately believed a lab leak was more likely and some believed that a natural origin was more likely, but after they discussed the evidence, they all agreed that it supported the latter. https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/15951210808005386...

Seems like this is restricted to a few Apple applications. Is there something more generic to run older software? There was a “Swiss Army Knife” application for handling media files (mainly audio and photos? I forget) called Media Rage, by Chaotic Software. The company seems to have gone out of business (the domain is now parked with ads). Since Media Rage was 32-bit, it wouldn’t work from macOS Catalina.

It is interesting that even some of my non-technical (capable, but not tech-geeks) have started to move to jellyfin or plex.

My age group is 35-45, so it isn't like we are broke college students that need to pirate movies, but we've just gotten fed up with how terrible everything has become.
> That hasn't stopped the virus from spreading with increasing effectiveness

It really doesn't. They've finally stopped talking about the idiocy of every single new variant being 2x to 4x times as transmissible as the last variant because the math would be fucking stupid with an R(t) of something like >1024 by now.

They've been conflating immune evasion with intrinsic transmissibility for the past several years. That has finally started to disappear.

> each time it moves to a new host it has a chance to mutate into something we aren't able to defend against,

Except that we're not observing any pattern of mutations around T-cell epitopes in the virus suggestive of any risk of immune escape from T-cell recognition -- which it the important defense against severe disease and death and those defenses that we have are what has turned the virus milder.

The whole reason why we likely have a two tiered immune system[*] with fast neutralizing antibodies and slow T-cells is likely because the end product of 500 million years or so of evolution favored immune systems that were clever enough to force these kinds of viruses to evolve to escape only the first line of defense.

> The loss of warning signs letting us know when we're infected is a bad sign.

No, that's a sign our immune systems work and its not their first goat rodeo with a pandemic virus.

Really, how counterintuitively up your own ass do you have to be to take the very clear signs that the symptoms are abating and turn that into something to fear.

[*] well multi-tiered, but those are the two biggies of the adaptive immune system.
