To me there’s a difference between better content and engaging content.

Better content seeks quality connections that may scale so far.

Engaging content seeks quantity of connections.

Of course this could be further argued. Maybe the better and engagement is interpreted to mean too distribution in quantity focused.

Edit:typo
~35% of Canadians 18-34 live with their parents. There's ~7.75M Canadians in that age group. There's ~8M children and ~30M total adults.

So ~35% of ~25% of adults live with their parents. ~8%.

Congratulations ~58% of Canadians own their own home (worst case) instead of ~60%.

Not sure why kids living with their parents is any different than a married couple living together. Maybe the kid is going to inherit the house. Often times, the kid is living with the parents not out of necessity for the kid - but because the parents are the ones that need help.

You're seeing what you want to see, and distracting yourself from the important part - majority rules, and the majority of people own homes - and a much larger majority of voters own homes.

I'd be impressed if that ~58% doesn't become >64% when you look at voters.

Honest question from someone currently in the middle of implementing my first SQLite deployment for a local data store in a desktop application (and is rather new to software development.)

Is SQLite not ergonomic? I’ve previously played with mongodb through work and it was super simple and intuitive. But SQLAlchemy is super verbose and not at all intuitive despite being intellectually easy to grasp. It feels to me like it has decades of cruft built into the syntax and while I can appreciate that it means options it has not at all been nice to work with. I understand the issues with mongodb, but I managed to get it working in 30 minutes. Meanwhile, I’m 3 days into trying to get SQLAlchemy working. It feels to me that perhaps there may be a hole in the market for “GPT” friendly databases. Because SQLAlchemy is so verbose it kills the context window of GPT lmao.
Why you should not use SQLite:

Or just accept some downvotes now and again? They'll stop at -4 anyway. I've hit it (and once in awhile I've probably deserved it), and known some nice thoughtful people IRL who also post here and had it happen on comments I thought were perfectly fine. Sometimes you just hit a weird mood in a thread or whatever; it's not worth worrying about unless the moderators tell you to cool it.
The only social media I spend time on is Instagram and really IG is on the same level as 4chan in terms of how red pilled the comments section is.
Light and gravitational waves travel the same speed in a vacuum, but space isn’t really a vacuum. I wonder if this makes any contribution.
There are about 4.1e14 seconds in 130 million years. The two seconds delay is thus very small. I wonder what is the role of the fact that interstellar vacum is not an absolute vacum. I read some where that there is about one atom in each square cubic cm. The number of cm in one light year is 9.4605284e17.
There was a widely-misunderstood lawsuit recently that lots of people interpreted this way, but it wasn't what the lawsuit concluded at all.

"Creations of a machine" is meaningless. Machines are tools we use to be creative, even if we're getting some things out that we do not expect. When a 3D program renders light into a scene, does that mean the image is not copyrightable?
I'm curious how this compares pricing-wise to Github Co-pilot for personal use:

Co-Pilot:

$10/month or $100/year (save $20 if you buy the yearly). Unlimited requests, no throttling

It uses OpenAI’s Codex model, a descendant of GPT-3[1]. They do seem to be working on the next iteration of co-pilot which will be GPT-4 powered, code named "Co-Pilot X"[1,2]

Cursor:

- Basic plan: FREE, but with 50 GPT-4 uses (I assume total because it doesn't specify per month), and 200 GPT-3.5 uses per month

- Pro plan: $20/month 500 "fast" GPT-4 uses per month, unlimited "slow" GPT-4 and unlimited everything else.

If GPT-4 proves to much better than Co-Pilot's version of GPT-3 then maybe Cursor might be worth it. Wonder how long that 500 would last for a typical dev.

Unfortunately, that’s a great argument… from anyone who has never run an online business, or developed a game, or written professional software. It’s so on the nose absurd in the logical conclusions of its worldview, that it’s a total nonstarter.

I’m not saying I like the current regime; I’m saying this ain’t the solution.
Things usually stop being considered as AI when they start working.
RAM prices went down quite a bit over the last year or so and a 32GB stick of 3200 Kingston RAM with ECC here is now 70-80€, not that much more expensive than non-ECC (about 60€ for 3200, more for faster modules).

I replaced 2 of the 16GB ECC sticks in my main PC with 32GB ones a while ago and put them in my NAS, will probably do the same with the remaining 2 sticks to max out my RAM.

With some more research, titanium looks like a fascinating example.

Heavy mineral sands [0] seem to be the primary source, with total heavy minerals at ~1% of weight (all mineral components).

Of that, ilmenite [1] is the primary titanium ore (reduced to sand).

So essentially, natural primary physical reduction (of hard rock to sand) is required to meet the current market price for economic viability. There exist hard rock sources, but most would be too energy intensive to exploit, given the low concentration.

The South African Tormin operation is especially fascinating, as it has ore reduced to sand AND then washed over geologic timescales by wave action, separating out less valuable minerals and concentrating the remainder (~25% THM). [2]

Which I guess is the bulk of my point: 'at any cost', there are always more resources to mine; 'at reasonable cost', there can be sharp differentiations between different types of resources (e.g. in titanium: naturally concentrated heavy mineral sands, heavy mineral sands, hard rock).

Something being widespread in the Earth's crust, but at less than 1% concentration, doesn't help us a lot if we need civilization-scale quantities of it.

Or, if copper were distributed like that, we'd probably all use aluminum wiring.

I was a fairly early Birdwatch tester; they definitely permitted political posts to be annotated. I can't recall either way on ads; given Musk never made a big "I'm enabling it on ads!" announcement I suspect it was always possible.

Django is an artifact from another time period of the web, and I'd argue it's in decline.

If you want an admin wrapper around your database, you have better many modern alternatives (I use directus).
If you want low code and easy platform, you have bubble.io.
If you want an easy api for your database, you can use things like hasura.
If you want python frameworks, try fastapi (its third party admin is great).
If you want an orm, sqlalchemy gives you more bang for your buck.

Many of Django's third party packages are out of date.
The data science python community has settled on Gradio.

The sweet spot of Django seems to have disappeared.
Jobs for Django are lower paying, and often more high stress than .net or other languages.

Django has a great outreach with it's Django Girls, Afro-Django and Django Foundation. However I feel like it's technical side needs far more love, the source code needs some major refactoring and cleanup.

I thought about this indepth on whether to send my daughter to django girls, or just train her in .net and c# myself.
I might have the MFA devise built into the Synology, were I designing it myself.

Just a little 7-segment LCD on the front of the cabinet. Those are what a buck or two, and my 8-bay cost about $1000... it's not a big additional cost.

If you can input the number on that, you're provably local. I don't know if that truly solves the problem, a high-value target might have someone posing as an outside contractor to get an eyeball on it, I guess. But for me at home, it'd be sufficient protection.

In Spack we rewrite strings in binaries, strings in text files (including shebangs), and RPATH/RUNPATH values. It's not hard to find store prefixes in binaries -- they have hashes in them so they're easy to identify. It's hard to lengthen them -- things in text files and in ELF fields can be made longer, but to make strings longer you need to find all references to them, which is impractical. So we build with long paths.

Relocating is really only a matter of relocating prefixes.

I am not sure how it would affect a content-addressed nix store, but I'm also not 100% sure why you want a content-addressed nix store. Addressing by the derivation hash (which is also what Spack does) lets you find valid build substitutes... would you index that separately for a content-addressed store?

Is the goal to allow multiple versions of non-reproducible builds in the same store?
No matter how you meant it, a reply saying "nice story.." contributes nothing at all to the discussion. And if you were intending to convey anything to the Lugg creator, you were replying in the wrong place.

This line encapsulates everything I've thought about this trial.

Feels like watching the man scream at the steam roller in Austin Powers.[0] He just can't keep his feet out of his own mouth. At this point I can't tell if it's hubris, or just straight ineptitude.

As a German I find that to be a pretty wild generalization, especially comparing it to the US where tap water quality varies massively (Oregon vs say Michigan (Flint...)). German tap water tends to be quite good. I live in Berlin, where tap water is excellent (albeit with a lot of minerals/calcium). The vast majority of people I know drink tap water, sometimes filtered, sometimes with CO2 added, but tap water nontheless.
HN agrees with this.

'glycol' just means an organic molecule with two hydroxyl groups

peg is a polymer of ethylene glycol (which monomer is, incidentally, deadly, while peg is generally considered nontoxic)

certainly some functional groups can be intrinsically toxic (organotin compounds come to mind) but you have hydroxyl groups on damn near every molecule in your body, including all the water molecules

I think "everyone buys water in plastic containers" is a bit of an overestimate.
Would any of the old classics (take your pick from Aristotle to Tolstoy) have been created in a data-driven world? What those authors put out into the world (I think), was what they thought was missing in the world, not what they thought the world wanted to hear. This is getting very hard to do today, even when you're honestly trying to do so, because the data is constantly telling you not to. And the data is necessarily short term an one dimensional, never fully capturing value in the way that our brains organically do.
Yikes. That graph is straight up lying to you. "Disposable income" is a delta measurement. By definition, it will show wild relative swings when the two values being subtracted are close to each other. You absolutely can't put it on the same chart with a value measured in absolute units, and whoever tried that shit was trying to sell you something. Where did you get that? Please (please) stop trusting whoever gave it to you.

I don't know if Canada has an equivalent to FRED and I'm too lazy to do your research for you, but I'm 100% convinced that if you find a measurement in the right units (c.f. "median household income" that I used -- be sure that if you find a graph that is inflation-corrected ("real median household income" in FRED-speak) that you use corrected values for both your data points!) you will find that Canada and the US look broadly the same throughout the past century or so.

I mean, come on. You guys are literally right there, we read the same media. You really think that if things were that different we wouldn't notice? You don't think americans whine about housing prices too?
I wish more sites were "ugly" like Django Admin, Craigslist, and Hacker News. We end up with visually "slick", but low usability, interfaces elsewhere because frontend designers can learn a million different frameworks, but you can't teach taste.

The problem isn't that tools make jobs easier, it's that when jobs get easier the benefits accrue to the owners of capital - by erasing jobs - instead of to the people doing the jobs - by allowing them to create the same amount of value for customers/society in less time, improving their standard of living.

Essentially, Zuckerberg was forced to IPO. There were too many people who had been granted shares privately, and there is some sort of law that when >500 people have shares it has to be public (IANAL)? Anyway, he showed up to the meeting with bankers wearing a hoody, and generally acted as if he didn't care what the investors thought, because FB was profitable and he didn't need their money. They grumbled a lot, but bought into the IPO anyway. Since Zuckerberg didn't particularly want to IPO anyway, he could make up any rules he felt like (that weren't actually illegal).

Then the shares had been priced so high that ordinary purchasers got a better price a couple months after the IPO, than high-powered financial types got in the IPO itself. Financial types hate it when they do not get a better price than the ordinary investor. I'm not particularly a fan of FB or MZ, but I do have to admit to admiring his behavior during that whole episode.

> Archive.org isn't really a solution either because it is not uncommon for domain squatters to use a robots.txt setting to get them to remove the domain from the Wayback Machine.

Do they delete it? My understanding is that they simply unpublish it— Lost from the Internet, then, but not necessarily forever.

> and I lost all of the code along with all of my other data from my teen years in a hard drive crash around the time I finished high school.

Technically that data wasn't lost for good either with the hard drive crash. Provided there's an academic, personal, economic, cultural, etc. incentive to read it, I'm sure any old inflation-adjusted $50 magnetic microscope from the year 2080 would have been able to get it all back in a matter of moments.

Overall, I agree with your point. LOCKSS (the principle, not the project) and KISS, and checksum and ECC, etc. HD-Rosetta/NanoRosetta's cool but doesn't seem super scalable or readable, MDisc was exciting but was also a market flop, and Memory of Mankind's ceramic tablets and the Arch Mission Foundation's glass hologram thingies have even bigger practicality problems— For now, so long as digital storage availability increases exponentially, you can probably just spin up Borg or something and keep accumulating backups of old files indefinitely.

But overall, anything that you don't actively invest the overhead to save can be assumed to be lost.
the public's wants are always reduced to trite generalizations, so maybe it's not about thunder, maybe the upset is that one can generate lively conversation easily by exploiting trite dichotomies, and that such a behavior is distasteful. everybody has an opinion on the hoi polloi from the vantage of their phantom high horse. a chat gpt could write the rest of the thread.

"real communism has clearly never been tried" is a set expression, from the internet. it's a variation on doing the same thing, but expecting different results, with a touch of ideological stubbornness, "this time around if we let people choose, they'll choose a very different internet, from the one they chose before, i'm sure of it, because I believe in people". of course the reason I choose this particular set expression, rather than some other one is to play off your comedic choice of terminology "people's internet". they have "people's internet" in "people's republic of china". you know? I'm not saying communism bad, it's a funny phrase. jeez, you brits used to be keen on subtle humor.
Is it just me or does the Wagtail ModelAdmin replacement look much worse than the default Django admin?
Our little Dungeons and Dragons campaign has absolutely exploded in quality and storytelling because our DM has been utilizing Midjourney for character tokens for the bad guys. I spent an hour or two on each person in the game’s character portrait with astounding results. It has been like night and day.

There is a 0% chance I’d pay the price this would have been a couple years ago. I can’t even fathom how much this quality of art would cost, probably tens of thousands of dollars.

Before the DM would just hunt and peck around for online images that sorta matched what he was going for, mostly rudimentary pencil drawings with some color fills.

To me the dream is saying “Elmo is king of a Mad Max style castle, please write a story and generate art assets” and in front of you on the tabletop your Apple Vision Pro tiles out a whole dungeon, does voices, you can go in and inspect and interrogate the pieces and make tweaks to get it just right.
I feel like this has been known for a while. Months ago he essentially admitted to the core of the charges on a morning show and refused to stop after that. The Serious Trouble podcast, hosted by former (I think?) Twitter legal commentarian PopeHat/Ken White, has covered it a lot and just how much he's screwed his own legal defense. This was even before the bouts of witness tampering attempts that landed him in jail instead of plush house arrest.
The complaints about the printing press were _all of them_ valid.

We can look back at the age of the News Publication and see that the concerns of the few were not taken seriously. The lack of concern for those issues, is the same lack of concern over the issues of Social Media.

Those alarmists were _overwhelmingly_ correct in their concerns over mass produced print media.

Those same concerns should be placed with heavier weight on Social Media outlets.
