No, cloud isnt bad.

However you have to really know what you are buying.

Some stuff; cloud computing is exceptional.

Want to prototype a full deployment? want to get it into production?

The defaults are pretty good (in GCP at least) and can lead you to a highly reliable system pretty easily.

However. On the whole cloud is anywhere from 5-11x the cost on paper. Operationally it might save you half the time assuming you have a good dedicated hosting provider nearby- and you don’t need to reinvent some primitives such as blob storage.

Theres a lot of discussion surrounding what I refer to as “cloud myths”. In every thread where cloud is mentioned someone will say one of the following:

* Headcount savings

* competence savings

* near-infinite scalability.

Unfortunately you need specific competences for cloud (most effort is on the OS level anyway even with colo so all you have done is add the burden of abstraction and it is a lot of abstraction), headcounts are comparable too- especially when you talk about finops, devops (terraform etc). Same too for infinite scale. I have looked down the barrel at how scalable cloud is- unless you're giving a couple months heads up, if your compute use is high you can easily exhaust a region or zone.

If you are happy to spend 5x more to get where you're going faster then cloud is pretty great. But my advice is to have a plan to migrate to something cheaper once you figure out your baseline.
I still don’t understand why shorting is legal as it provides no value and enables hedge funds to extract value using illogical tricks.
I think you're missing the point if your example of "wide-scale or pervasive negative consequences" is "one guy who definitely murdered a bunch of people got caught".
> You can't control what your relatives do, unfortunately.

That’s exactly what laws are for. Making “best practices” enforceable. Imagine if not killing people was just considered a “best practice” rather than something you would face severe consequences for.

In this case the best practices need to be enforced against 23andme and their ilk.
A warrant referencing a crime is not the same as a person being charged of a crime.
The problem is that the interesting bits in the VLSI space right now aren't in digital design.

Nobody needs another processor. Even an old-ass MIPS core is good enough.

The interesting bits are RF, ADC, DAC, SerDes, high efficiency DC-DC, low leakage designs, etc. RISC-V does not one iota of good for any of these things. Nor do these things need 5nm technologies--180nm or 250nm would be just fine though you'd probably have to use 120nm just because everything else probably has too little fab capacity left.

Which is a shame because that is precisely the path RISC-V needed to take to unseat ARM. It needed to be really good in the under 10 cents category with some decent analog peripherals such that it could expand upward and eventually eat ARM.

The under 10 cents category of microcontrollers is an absolute shitshow and has been for 10+ years. RISC-V could have brought unified tooling and architecture to that space. However, that isn't sexy. It would only let you ship a zillion chips and make reasonable profits. And that's just not VC compatible.
I understand how the system can lead to people losing access to their Google account, GP suggested people could lose access to their children. The NYT article is the opposite of what GP claimed - the case was closed before he even knew it had been opened.
> he says that a market is free if buyers and sellers can pursue their own self-interest

probably we are agreeing, but just to bring a little more clarity what is meant by "free market" in the adam smith context:

> For classical economists such as Adam Smith, the term free market refers to a market free from all forms of economic privilege, monopolies and artificial scarcities.[2] They say this implies that economic rents, which they describe as profits generated from a lack of perfect competition, must be reduced or eliminated as much as possible through free competition.

so i'd say sellers trying to create an artificial regional monopoly/oligopoly of sales and high prices is the exact opposite of what adam smith would have preferred...

Hmm I'm sure there's still a lot of really smart folks there but not good. Here's hoping they can turn this around.
It’s not illegally obtained if it is obtained with the third party doctrine.
This is brutally terrible legal advice, even for you not being a lawyer.
It's actually quite astonishing how hard it is to get answers to these questions.

I spent some time last year trying to understand money "once and for all", and it's astonishing how complicated it is, and how even the general educated public has no inkling whatsoever. (E.g. just basic understandings such as that money is created by banks not governments, and that banks create money out of thin air and not out of deposits.)

I gave up after a while because the information is just so non-accessible. My biggest takeaway is just how a modern educated person is relatively easily able to have a working knowledge of domestic politics and foreign affairs, of basic literary and artistic culture, of history and geography, and of basic math and sciences -- but trying to gain a basic working knowledge of how money actually works -- as opposed to the bunch of shockingly oversimplified and misleading models you learn in Econ 101 -- is shockingly difficult.

Which is not a great state of affairs in democracies, when things like inflation and interest rates can wind up affecting elections. It's relatively easy to judge whether you think Biden is doing the right or wrong thing on Ukraine or Israel; it's virtually impossible to judge what you think the central bank is doing under him.

Ultimately the best starting resource I found was "Where Does Money Come From?":

> I hate that the only option is to trust - I want to check for myself!

I can understand that. I went through a similar period in my late teens/early 20s that caused me to reject my faith (among other things, but this was a contributing part of it). Ironically, I came back to Christianity and accepted Christ when I was ~22 because of a book written by a Jewish biblical scholar. For me, encountering Young Earth Creationism was the proverbial back-breaking straw more so than source trust, but both were certainly present in my mind and caused sufficient doubt to turn aside from the faith.

As I've gotten older, I've found that certain arguments feel less interesting. Some things, like this, have to be taken on faith. I mean, I don't even debate YECs anymore! The problem I have as of this writing is that I cannot decide if it's more a matter of my mental energies feel better invested elsewhere or if it's a lack of interest beyond a certain threshold. Manuscript sourcing is interesting to me, but I don't find it to be a make-or-break situation.

> do you remember weapons of mass distraction, Hans Blix, etc? Or Snowden? Did you know Zelensky is referenced in the Panama papers? Etc.

All of the above, in fact. I've gotten into trouble, ironically, from some people at church for having zero trust for Zelensky.

"But we need to support him because RUSSIA!"

Right. And where is the money going? I have very limited trust also, most especially for ANYONE in positions of power where it can be abused. I feel like just saying this makes me sound like a conspiracy nut, but the reality is that humans are intrinsically untrustworthy.

Admittedly, I feel much more charitable toward biblical manuscripts, but perhaps that's because I'm approaching the question from a different angle. That is, I'm inclined to read providential preservation into the text, which is how I parse things like a) the discovery of the DSS (and LXX fragments) in Qumran and b) the rather fortuitous discovery of large bodies of previously unknown Koine Greek in the 1900s giving us insight into the NT.

That isn't to say I don't have problems with parts of our translations. I do. But most of the problems I have fall into the category of stylistic choices by the translators. Maybe even a few unknowns that have crept into the text ("Lilith" in Isa 34:14 being a recent one I encountered while reading through the Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible). The problem here is that I've become so fascinated by the ANE context that I honestly haven't spent quite as much time in the NT as of late as perhaps I should...

Anyway, thank you for the cordial conversation, friend. Much appreciated!
I've had many of these things happen to me barring the Gnome and Wayland bugs since I don't use them.

I still would hardly say that not much has changed, nor that the Desktop experience on many popular distros is bad.

It's also important to note that while the UX problems between Windows and Linux aren't the same in number and nature, the root of these problems are relevant imho.

With Linux distros, it's just lack of resources. They can address them with enough man hours.

With Windows, many of the user-hostile aspects of the UX are part of the product map, and I don't anticipate that getting any better.

I'm long on Linux on the desktop, which I know is a punch-line, but it's working for plenty of people of various technical stripes.
I was able to find some reference to an Irish dev team that made the ports, but the 6502 port was scrapped in favor of CP/M-86. Brain dead move imo. I updated the article. Thank you for your corrections to the record :-)

Edit: Actually just found more info, and it would appear that it was actually just the dual effort of 8086 dos and cpm that killed all efforts at 6502, and the team in Ireland were never tasked with it. So, it would seem that that port never get any further than Barnaby having run it through a cross assembler.
Talking from personal experience growing up, I would generally agree. The prohibition from selling alcohol/cigarettes to minors was pretty ineffective. The only effective prevention was having stricter parents and facing consequences. That said, I wouldn't say Facebook is at all comparable to alcohol or drugs...
Soon you'll remember this time as the good old days, before all technical documentation was hallucinated on X by AI.
What if it is USPS who messes up, though, and delivers it to the wrong address, even though the address on the package is correct?

Even more confusing, what if the package is FROM the USPS, is addressed to someone else, but accidentally delivered to you?
This is the answer. Call their bluff.
Fair point. When I take a passenger in a Waymo and it is there first time I'm hyper aware of the driving. But for myself personally, I'm mostly tuned out. For me it started to feel "normal" as early as about the 4th ride. So they could probably subtly adjust the "middle ground" based on the passenger's experience and feedback (As long as it doesn't create inconsistencies for surrounding vehicles).
Zero "trillion dollar businesses" were created with the "hey look at this cool tech!" school of thinking. There are 6 "trillion dollar" companies by market cap (terrible measurement but whatever), and every single one of them was founded with a specific market in mind.
I don't like where this line of questioning is going, but yes they've been found in human blood.
The government can’t even decide on a budget. It’s a mess.
Do you have literally any evidence to back this up?
I am really surprised they fired him for a really relatively mild series of tweets. I know some of the Israeli scientists leading the campaign against him also pointed out he tweeted "Fuck Israel" in 2018 [0]. Due to the date, May 15 2018, he is probably referring to IDF slayings the preceding day during Palestinian border protests [1]. Nature also did a factual write up of this guy's firing [2].

CE6 and 7 had all of those. From CE6 onwards, CE was a fully modern OS.

Not only that, it was a brand new OS written from the ground up that was designed to be modular and battery efficient.

Sadly it never got a chance to shine, as internal politics killed it.

I think this point is needlessly pedantic because it hasn’t much to do with the topic at hand. GP’s point was that you were wrong to say that warrants are _only_ required for police searches.

The search we’re talking about here is very much the kind of search that warrants a warrant.
Yeah, I'm 100% atheist, but often feel horrified by the shallow understanding of religion and theology that many other atheists exhibit. I want shake them and say "do you really think you're smarter than Thomas Aquinas?"

Sure, he was wrong... but not worthy of ridicule. It's just so easy and satisfying to assume that disagreement indicates stupidity.
I think if these cocoons costed $2.50 a trip you might think differently. I think driverless cars + some iteration on the vehicles themselves gets us there (without subsidies!).

People love the equity argument for public transit. Non personally owned, ubiquitous, driverless, cheap, efficient and most importantly convenient cocoons would increase equity a whole hell of a lot more than the traditional definition of public transit imo
and for a long time you could drive on Great Highway at 35MPH and hit green at every single light. Always enjoyed that except that I would have preferred 50MPH
I don’t speak for all of us, but I would certainly be one. The “particularity” feature of a warrant would be a primary concern, as would be the involvement of someone other than LE (I.e., the magistrate or judge signing the warrant).
Historically, the bottleneck in all CPU's -- has been the speed at which data can be transferred from/to main memory.

A large on-board CPU cache -- solves that for smaller programs whose code and data can entirely fit into that cache.

But for larger programs whose code and data do not fit entirely into a CPU's cache -- the bottleneck is "how fast does it read/write from main memory?".

Here, for the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite -- we are given a figure for that, of 136GB/sec.

Is it really that fast? Well, future benchmarking to confirm that number will have to take place. But if it really is that fast -- then that would be pretty respectable for a 2023 consumer CPU...
Ah yeah, when something doesn’t conform to your narrative, it surely is an astroturf. All coming from accounts that are many years old and have thousands of karma points that leave meaningful posts on all types of topics. But the second they post about Waymo in a positive light, that instantly means astroturfing and not their true opinion based on their lived experiences.
I've done a lot of work with NestJS. I agree with some, but not all, of the authors points.

- TypeORM is pretty bad. Particularly when you start using it for more than simple crud operations. There was an epic battle in the GitHub issues and eventually some folks finally got through to the maintainer. Since then, development has picked up and some long-standing issues have been corrected. It's still pretty bad. However, I haven't found anything in the nodejs ecosystem that's substantially better, which is sad.

- class-validator and class-transformer mostly work, but are barely maintained and have many issues going back years. The maintainers left a bad taste in my mouth. I asked years ago about why these libraries which are so core to NestJS are not forked. The issue was locked with a frustrating response. It sounds like they may have finally been pursuaded to fork them.

- NestJS support is terrible. I understand they have a paid support service but if you don't subscribe to that, they lock, discard, ignore any issues raised, even if they are valid and significant. They push all support questions to Discord, and as far as I can tell, none of the actual maintainers look at it. Very frustrating.

- NestJS breaks semver by releasing breaking changes in minor or patch updates. They don't seem to understand that if a core third party dependency has a breaking change, they need to bump their major version.

- It's very difficult to understand what has actually changed between versions. And with the history of breaking semver, upgrading is just plain scary. The "release notes" are just the commit list, and to make matters worse, they don't use a monorepo so you have to search through a dozen repositories.

Unlike the author, I do actually enjoy the modular design, the dependency injection system, and a few other design choices. The only difficulty I've encountered when testing is around the third party pieces, such as TypeORM.
The best site in my opinion is Product Hunt. I look for new start ups here everyday. Also if you want to innovate a good strategy (if you already have a monetizable product) is to do an affiliate campaign where you should:
-Define buyer persona
-Find the affiliate leads
-Analyze which keywords are the more high intend
-Extract the leads of this blogs/web pages
-Launch an email campaign via GMASS
-Create the landing pages where you want the affiliates to redirect their traffic

> you can use firefox for viewing,signing

I got all excited - then realised "signing" just means inserting a picture. Notably absent are open source tools for digitally signing and verifying PDF's. Apparently pdftk does it in a paid version.

It's funny in a way - in this thread we have people wanting ways to modify a PDF. Yet to me, being any to prove it's not modified (eg, it's statement provably issued by some bank saying they transferred funds to my bank on behalf of person XYZ) is far more important. Instead we have companies offering paid "document signing services" which are built on sand - you can easily forge / modify any signed document they issue.
Yeah, what's the worst that old media could do? Print uncritical, false claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq than lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

(My comment from this article a few days ago)
Ironically, I was just using ChatGPT to answer another seemingly simple question:

What is an example of an item that would show up in EBIT but not operating income?

> In standard financial reporting and accounting terminology, "Operating Income" and "EBIT" (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) are typically considered to be the same thing. They both represent a measure of a company's profitability from its core operating activities, and they exclude non-operating income and expenses...

It's an answer, stated as fact, that is also totally wrong. When I went to Google, I found the correct answer:

"The key difference between EBIT and operating income is that operating income does not include non-operating income, non-operating expenses, or other income."

After some pressing of ChatGPT, I ultimately got it to spit out the correct answer:

"I apologize for any confusion in my previous responses, and you are correct. In standard financial reporting, EBIT does include non-operating income, whereas operating income does not."

ChatGPT is great in some cases, and in other cases sends you down random tangents, references things that either don't exist or are misleading, or just flat out lies. That is a REAL time waster, because you might end up proceeding based on the incorrect explanation provided by ChatGPT, only to find out that you have to re-learn a concept correctly later on.

Imagine you are in the middle of a custody battle when this news comes down, or that you are jailed before being cleared. Imagine the cops and social workers in your city aren't diligent, or that you already have a criminal record. And further imagine you don’t have the luxury of a New York Times reporter investigating your case and writing publicly about how you’re innocent. The NYT example is a best case outcome for an innocent person who triggers these algorithms.

Self-driving cars are used in a very controlled environment.

They will not function in high grass, I guess from my experience with different parktronics.

The best "off road" demonstration of self-driving and/or AI assistance I've found is this: https://media.jaguarlandrover.com/news/2016/07/jaguar-land-r...

Note they avoid going into grass. Human can deduce trails from grass profile, AI? I don't think so.

Will you count an inability to reach a lakeside as an accident? I guess, no.
Kinda surprised they stop... When you have a self-driving system that costs $200k+, you want to keep it running and collecting data as much as possible - passenger or no passenger.
