Yes that's a fair assessment.

Through line of his books seem to be "little guy is good".

In many of the stories the little guy he valorizes is just another neutral actor in a zero sum game.

The Big Short it just so happens that the "little guy" who was right got to make money off fairly bad actors! I wouldn't say they were themselves "good", rather more neutral players in a financial market.

He now seems to have chosen a little guy (SBF/FTX) who were explicitly bad actors.

I think you missed the part where I'm not saying this is current reality, just saying it's something I worry about.

Continuing your example just for exposition / hypothetical, if those are 100 individual deaths with varying causes, vs 99 children run over by AI b/c they were walking in a line holding hands and were interpreted as road markers, well that's not _better_ is it?

This is purely hypothetical, but statistics gloss over those human details.

It takes the responsibility off the food manufacturers to do really simple things like, let’s not put toxic chemicals in food, and instead writes the whole thing down with flimsy statements like “well you’re already poisoned to some degree, should be fine though.”

I move to random corners of the world every 2-3 years and this is starting to give me real anxiety every time I try to make a purchase. One of my credit cards makes me jump through all of the verification and "Was this really you?" messages, then still locks my account half the time.

So many online stores will approve my purchase and bill the card with no issue, then cancel it a few hours later for vague security reasons. I remember when the credit card companies ran commercials about how easy and secure credit cards are, especially compared to checks, but now I feel like a criminal every time I try to use mine. I wonder if this violates any part of the merchant agreement that these stores are getting a 100% valid authorization on my credit card, but still aren't willing to accept my payment.
I'd guess most jury members will have no clue what any of this is about. It'll just sound like big numbers, weird people speaking in jargon, and acronym soup.

If he's convicted it won't be on the details, but on credibility. The "I don't recall" strategy won't fool a judge, but it might fool enough jurors.

I think the prosecution is going to have to work unexpectedly hard to nail him to the wall.

But I also suspect there's more to the story than we're being told.

The fact that so much of the money seems to have gone on bribes and political donations, the fact that his parents are lawyers but apparently were shocked - shocked! - to discover he was doing something illegal, the fact that he seems so casual about the whole thing - it's all a little strange.

His father "is considered a leading scholar in the discipline of tax law" and is a Stanford Professor of Law and Business.

So with no obvious warning signs this must have come as a complete surprise to him.
I think you vastly underestimate how many people use SQLite for this. The number of times I've seen someone boot up an entire Mysql Server fora dedicated app is far larger than the number of times I've seen them just reach for sqlite.
Modern fast food is deliberately engineered to make it as addictive as possible while still being palatable and cheap to produce, in order to maximize sales.

That sounds more nefarious than I intended, so let me rephrase it. Modern fast food is the result of rapidly iterating, debugging, and optimizing recipes in a huge market for the last 70 years, leaving only the best selling, low cost, consistently reproducible recipes and discarding the rest. This process naturally selects recipes that contain lots of junk calories and bring in the most repeat customers.

Although many of the ingredients and similar foods have been around for centuries, it wasn't possible to do this kind of agile cooking on a massive scale until after WW2.
There's a good plugin called django-admin-interface that cleans up the Admin page to a point where it is still recognizable as the admin page but looks nicer. You also can customize the color themes, matching the palette of the app.

Double or triple that of a car, for a small plane, because of the higher fuel consumption.

My general pattern these days is a compose file with postgres and another container to run my migrations (along with anything else I need). Then I have an integration test suite that hits all the code paths that touch the database. The whole workflow gets run again in CI but with the new image via a profile in my compose file. Its so fast and easy to do at this point.
> As a German I find that to be a pretty wild generalization

Most generalizations that come from someone taking a short trip to another country are like this: Someone visits a foreign country, interacts with a couple dozen people in a small area, then projects that experience on to the entire country.

I think almost everyone does it when they’re young and they first start traveling. It’s not until you’ve gained more exposure to the size and diversity of the world that you realize you can’t draw conclusions about entire countries from a couple of experienced.
No amount of repetition is going to convince such people. Their entire argument is predicated on an absolutely erroneous belief that sideloading or user modifications will somehow ruin the experience of people who don’t wish to modify their phone knowing fully well that more setting for users won’t diminish the experience for other users. They’re literally playing stupid to defend a corporation and its practices.
Maybe it is time you start a company where anyone that has written OSS or worked at a company you’ve heard of gets a free pass to join the company? If you can be successful I’m sure many people will adopt this as their hiring process.

> I have decided to finally get acquainted with the #Lean4 interactive proof system (using AI assistance as necessary to help me use it), as I now have a sample result (in the theory of inequalities of finitely many real variables) which I recently completed (and which will be on the arXiv shortly), which should hopefully be fairly straightforward to formalize. I plan to journal here my learning process, starting as someone who has not written a single line of Lean code before.

There are several posts mentioning how GPT has been useful (though not always) at suggesting things, including one linking to this transcript with ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/share/857353ad-a05b-4f9e-bb10-55f15a...
From the link you posted:

The HTML <dialog> element is used to create both modal and non-modal dialog boxes. Modal dialog boxes interrupt interaction with the rest of the page being inert, while non-modal dialog boxes allow interaction with the rest of the page.

The modal dialogs are easier for the programmer to use but they're quite inconvenient because generally, they ask you a question you can answer only by looking at/interacting with the rest of the page. Which you can't do (the modal dialogs on web also almost never can be dragged around).
Glad to hear, it should have been phased out a long time ago. Assuming there aren't any issues with the only very recently legalized unleaded avgas I don't think there are any downsides.
Authenticity and commerce are awkward bedfellows. Just take a look at corporate communications where complete vacuity and obfuscation is the status-quo, way before social media.

The main new thing is virality and actors trying to ride platform algorithms. This has led to a complex three-body system (producers-platform-consumers) the full degenerating dynamics of which we are only gradually discovering.

There must be better ways but they are still to materialize. The fediverse is super cool but that's mostly because it has not yet attracted the crushing attention of commerce.

There is a large amount of people left behind by the traditional finance system -- labeled as untrustworthy by being from the wrong country, or involved in businesses that institutions find ethically questionable -- and who are only able to trade thanks to crypto.

Unfortunately at some point, they still need to convert the crypto to cash.

It's therefore not surprising there is a black market for this.
I don't understand how these numbers work. When we commit to cutting emissions by 50%, what is the base of that number? Our total emissions today? If a significant part of this involves electric vehicles, that means at least 25% of all vehicles on the road probably need to be electric, including semis (currently it's 1%).

All of this just seems unrealistic right now with 7 years to go. Without a way to limit consumption through carbon tax, I don't see how the status quo really changes. All of this seems ripe for playing number games.

These things remind me of someone commiting to lose weight for their new years resolution.
Any more thoughts on pocketbase.

One possible strategy is to have one directory/file per customer which is one SQLite file. But then as the user logs in, you have to look up first what database they should be connected to.

OR somehow derive it from the user ID/username. Keeping all the customer databases in a single directory/disk and then constantly "lite streaming" to S3.

Because each user is isolated, they'll be writing to their own database. But migrations would be a pain. They will have to be rolled out to each database separately.

One upside is, you can give users the ability to take their data with them, any time. It is just a single file.

You may or may not be correct about it being in decline. Who knows. What I am sure of is this: engineering managers that hire candidates primarily based on which framework they've used most recently are trash. I just got hired into a biotech job which uses a framework I had never touched before the coding exam. The process was the most intense thing I have ever experienced with nine separate screenings/interviews in which I had to beat out at least 500 other applicants. Being able and willing to learn enough to solve unfamiliar issues is so much more valuable than tooling experience in this field.

I wonder if the newer generation of gamers can form connections from MMO style guilds like the past generation of gamers did. Everything that I've seen from young gamers today suggests that their motivations for playing games is quite different. Playing just for the sake of playing and socializing on a personal level is not part of it.

I get the impression it is about being seen doing things. If nobody sees you do something it basically never happened. The more people that see you do something the more important it is to them.
Usually with pituitary axis injuries the other hormones are affected as well and not just FSH/LH.

The FSH and LH being normal with low testosterone means there’s some kind of dysfunction. There’s an inverse relationship and if T is low LH should be higher to induce synthesis.

Sort of like in women’s menopause - when the ovaries run out of oocytes the ability to produce estrogen is gone and FSH/LH increase.

Anyways, obesity could be another issue. Adipose cells produce estrin and estrin has promiscuity with the estrogen receptor which reduces testosterone production. Another is elevated prolactin which has multiple causes and can reduce T production.

Anyways, my caffeine ranting is at an end. Good luck
Are you aware that citizens within 100 miles of borders including Great Lakes are ok for border patrol to spy on, have their vehicles searched without warrant, etc?

> Imagine being denied a visa based on that.

The position of the US is that everyone coming to the US is intending to move here permanently, and any sort of visitation visa will be _denied by default_ from many countries unless you can prove otherwise, and the hoops they make you go through can be ridiculous. I talked to someone from Colombia who waited years for a visa interview, spent weeks preparing for it and got denied 5 minutes into the call because they didn't have enough money in the bank at home. No appeal. All they wanted to do is visit their brother for a week. They hadn't seen him for years.

Yes, there are lots and lots of people who don't wash their hands with any regularity and others who don't wash them as often as they should. You can find statistics about the fraction of folks washing hands in a public restroom, or just watch for yourself the next time you're in a public restaurant or buying food from a restaurant with an open kitchen.

Mercedes is actually being cautious about slowly rolling things out, not just yeeting it over the fence like Tesla.

Little things like:

> Mercedes shows us an EQS with an important visual indicator that is not yet legal: in the hopefully very near future, when Drive Pilot is active, the headlights, taillights, and side mirrors will have turquoise marking lights so other drivers know the Level 3 system is in use.

and

> Drive Pilot also has redundant braking and steering actuators and a separate onboard electrical system just in case one of them fails.

are good things.

And it drives better than Autopilot, despite being "glorified cruise control":

> It does feel more precise and accurate in how the car stays in its lane and reacts to surrounding traffic, with fewer jerky movements and constant tiny adjustments. Drive Pilot even reacts to larger trucks or motorcycles that are lane splitting by moving slightly over in the lane without crossing the lines, and not only does it work in carpool lanes but also it can tell the difference between the carpool and FasTrak lanes and will let the driver decide which to use.

This doesn't sound like Tesla at all:

> and there’s not a single moment where Drive Pilot makes a mistake or reacts badly to a situation, even when surrounded by nightmarish LA drivers.

Some of us applaud these kind of things.

Remember the whole phantom braking thing a while back? And then it disappeared with an update, but another phantom braking problem arose, so then they reverted that update, and then released another update that fixed those two problems...

A safety culture where a component manufacturer had firmware that took around 36 hours to work through the full test suite... released a new firmware to Tesla in response to issues. Got an email from Tesla 3 or 4 hours later saying "Thanks, this is working so much better", and when they responded with confusion about the test suite, etc., "Oh, we just flashed it onto one of our cars here and took it out on the road and tried".
You can get fruits and fruit juices in your winter months, that is newer. OJ came in small glasses because it too was a luxury.

But HN linked an article a few years back about some research indicating that in the 1980s people ate as many or more callories, and got on average less physical activity, but were significantly less overweight. They reaction was that it was wrong, because thermodynamics, but the thermodynamic argument is a vast oversimplification. We can and do excrete plenty of energy such that other organisms post process our waste. Fat in particular can go unused with little notice. We can burn or conserve energy in ways that are hard to measure by just observing behavior. Given that complexity, it wouldn't surprise me that chronic inflammation could be a culprit. It could be the removal of a burden too, such that we are more efficient at processing calories. The food equivalent of meth amphetamine being available everywhere and cheaply doesn't help either, but enough people are studying it that I don't think it will be one simple thing.
Before we fall for the flame bait, it is unclear what is happening from the article. The ACLU is suing DHS to get an explanation of how the DHS is using a service that collects and analyzes social media data on Visa applicants. The company sold a different product to enforce the law over visa terms using social media. They are now selling a different product but it is not public what it does or how it is used. The ACLU wants answers. That is all.
We consider poor error messages to be bugs. I know most people don't, so I've made it one of my missions to yell it from the mountain tops to encourage people to report more often.

Increases octane rating, that being is necessary to prevent engine knocking at higher engine compression ratios.
Or it makes perfect sense. Once it's legal, what reason is there to keep the poisonous one around?

It's not odd, it's exactly what you'd expect. The only odd thing is that it took this long.

I don't know. It sounds like you liked the article.
My understanding (and I'm no authority in this subject) is that adding lead to gasoline allows achieving better octane ratings (ie lower chance of self-ignition). This reduces engine knock, which makes the engine live longer, also allows pushing more fuel into a cylinder per ignition cycle more confidently.

These things are possible without lead as well, it just costs more money to do so.
