> do you think fast economic development is possible if we continue to exploit those countries?

Yes, and it has already happened in many places. In 1950, the GDP per capita of South Korea and Taiwan were under $900, not much more than the $600 of Pakistan. Those East Asian countries rapidly industrialized and became rich. Nobody wasted time talking about fairness. Pakistan fucked around with socialism and other leftist garbage and doomed its people to decades more of poverty.
It's quite impressive that the event was filmed on iPhone 15 Pro[1], although it involved professional lighting and various equipment, which is not typical for the average user.

With the ability to capture in Log, it's possible that the next iPhone release might be filmed using the very phone that's being unveiled.

From the FAQ https://bcachefs.org/FAQ/ :

Bcachefs is safer to use than btrfs and is also shown to outperform zfs in terms of speed and reliability

So what makes it more reliable? I can't find a simple overview of the design / reasoning behind the whole thing and what makes it 'better' than the rest.
> I don't see why it suddenly would now if we only want it hard enough.

It wouldn't. It hasn't happened so far or at least what's been happening has been painfully slow. We don't have the time to convince mom-n-pap who don't see why their SUV is a problem. We don't have time to convince your average gym bro who has suddenly adopted an all-beef diet to look swole. We don't have the time to convince big oil to stop investing in and opening new oil refineries.

What we do have the time for is organizing enough people who see where we are heading and voting and electing for representatives that support a green/fossil free agenda. Removing all the ridiculous farming subsidies on beef/animal agriculture, stopping with bailing banks and oil companies and holding them accountable with jail time and company-ending fines when they mess up seems to be a step in the right direction.

Creating enough criminal/punitive and economical/taxation incentives to FORCE everybody to get on board with a fossil-free world is the only clear path to mitigating what's already happening and accelerating in nature. Everything else is just waiting for the hammer to fall.
I think people paint this as propaganda, not realising everybody is different. I was a staunch WFH believer. I fought it to the point where I'm one of the few remaining employees allowed remote status at my company. I now feel it was a mistake and plan to return to the office soon.

I remember a few years ago the concept of a 'third place' was a big thing. You have home, work, and a third place (e.g. church, a sports you play with, gym). Now, a lot of people don't even have a second place. WFH has definitely impacted my mental health and my relationship. Obviously it doesn't _have to_ but if you don't have the built-in motivation to get out and do things often enough, you will spend far too much time at home, around the same person, driving yourselves crazy.

Some people need to be 'forced' to do things or they will let life slowly pass them by. When I had to go to the office I got outside, fresh air, walking, talking with colleagues (even if the interactions weren't very deep) and there was a much greater chance I would do something social after work (with friends, not colleagues). Just being part of the hustle and bustle of the city is something I miss greatly. Like I say, obviously you can do all this and WFH, but personally, I find it very difficult.

At the time I thought Covid + WFH didn't impact me all that much. I didn't feel particularly concerned about it although followed the laws/guidance closely. Looking back as we close in on four years since it started, I feel like it actually had a much bigger impact than I realised and a big part of that is the isolation/bad patterns it's easy to slip into with WFH.
Also, specialized hardware for a specific format feels like a really good way to have a useless part of a cpu if the format stops being used.

In the US, it has been 13 years since the PPACA restricted premium pricing to only a handful of factors:

https://www.healthcare.gov/how-plans-set-your-premiums

>Under the health care law, insurance companies can account for only 5 things when setting premiums.

>Age: Premiums can be up to 3 times higher for older people than for younger ones.

>Location: Where you live has a big effect on your premiums. Differences in competition, state and local rules, and cost of living account for this.

>Tobacco use: Insurers can charge tobacco users up to 50% more than those who don’t use tobacco.

>Individual vs. family enrollment: Insurers can charge more for a plan that also covers a spouse and/or dependents.

>Plan category: There are five plan categories – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Catastrophic. The categories are based on how you and the plan share costs. Bronze plans usually have lower monthly premiums and higher out-of-pocket costs when you get care. Platinum plans usually have the highest premiums and lowest out-of-pocket costs.

Parallels used to be front-runner with better support for new macOS features. vmWare used to lag behind with weird issues. This is why I switched from vmWare Fusion to Parallels Desktop a few years back. What are these limitations you speak of? And what makes it rubbish?
Neat idea. Is there a color legend somewhere? I don’t see one.
A project not finishing some feature is not the same as being abandoned. It seems lots of people are happy to use btrfs in production without that raid mode. In other words, for all the complaining about raid5 that happens every time btrfs is mentioned, you'd think there would be at least one person who cares enough to implement it. Yet people use it in production and keep improving the other parts of that project instead.
This argument kind of elides over how you will make the millions, when the author has not.

The hypothetical of lost revenue needs to be validated by the evidence of actual revenue being made in this way. Right now, I see lots of interest in paying for the _tool_, but almost none in paying human wages for the _output_ of generative models.

(I am not proposing that my above distinction is a legal test. Just pointing out that all these arguments would be more credible if actual ai generated works were being sold by AI companies)

The Springer link is to the original TAGSAM paper--very interesting. I found it while doing a screw count of the below sampler head--there are 21 phillips-like head and 6 with allen head. The NASA press release [1] says "two of the 35 fasteners on the TAGSAM head could not be removed with the current tools approved for use." That doesn't match, which lead me to the Bierhaus et al. at Springer [2] which shows how they put the sampler head screws down into the dirt. The diagrams from Bierhaus and Walsh et al. [3] are both interesting.

Yes, people are great fakers - we talk about things not because we believe them, but because we want others to think we do. That describes the great communication divide, where rich people, who rent out multiple apartments talk about housing is a human right, whereas the line cook at the local burger place couldn't be more excited to tell you about his crypto investment portfolio.
We don't just need more 'third' places - if you remove the office we actually need new 'second' places too.

You just described the major plotline of the movie Gattaca.

We watched and discussed that movie in my Ethics of Engineering course in university.

Kind of ironic to me that the movie they used to try and teach me how not to use engineering for unethical purposes may be coming true today.

Edit: Wiki page for the movie if anyone's curious: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca

Pretty good movie from what I recall. Some good discussions around ethics that came out of it.
> I figured out as soon as I saw the link title that the author's examples for "luxury beliefs" would just so happen to be associated with a feminist and anti-racist outlook.

Isn't the author's point that the examples correlate very highly with affluence? The fact that it may/may not be correlated to something else might be relevant, but I'm not seeing the relevance.
I worked with ultra high vacuum equipment and am pretty familiar with this.

The term I've heard is "galling."

that's a tired old talking point that the US always throws in. The fact is that, as part of their agreements to operate in the Chinese market, Western companies cooperated with Chinese local companies, which included sharing of knowledge.

These terms, the Western companies agreed to to gain a piece of the juicy Chinese market. And the Chinese did it because they had the rare power to stop Western companies from just coming and draining resources, in the colonial manner the West usually operates.

Building on this, China has now surpassed the West on much development. Electric cars, solar technology, cell phone towers are now much more advanced in China.
Show HN: Light implementation of Event Sourcing using PostgreSQL as event store
Hi everyone,

If you have a Java Spring Boot application with a PostgreSQL database, you can implement Event Sourcing without introducing new specialized databases or frameworks.

If you have an application dealing with an entity called Order, you should adopt Event Sourcing to keep track of all changes, and know how the Order got into the current state.

Event Sourcing gives you:

1. the true history of the system (audit and traceability),

2. the ability to put the system in any prior state (debugging),

3. the ability to create read projections from events as needed to respond to new demands.

There are several well-known specialized frameworks and databases for Event Sourcing: EventStoreDB, Marten, Eventuate, to name a few.
But adopting a new framework or database you are not familiar with may stop you from trying the Event Sourcing pattern in your project. But you can actually implement Event Sourcing with a few classes and use PostgreSQL as an event store.

The "postgresql-event-sourcing" project is a reference implementation of an event-sourced system that uses PostgreSQL as an event store built with Spring Boot. Fork the repository and use it as a template for your projects. Or clone the repository and run end-to-end tests to see how everything works together.

The project describes in detail:

- database model for storing events,

- synchronous and asynchronous event handlers,

- CQRS,

- Transactional Outbox pattern,

- Polling Publisher pattern,

- optimized publisher that uses PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY capabilities,

- and more.

This project can be easily extended to comply with your domain model.

The source code is available on GitHub <https://github.com/eugene-khyst/postgresql-event-sourcing>.
There’s nothing to unsubscribe from if it’s transactional email. You aren’t on a mailing list. You can’t be removed from a non-existent list you aren’t on.

Are you asking to be blacklisted from all future transactional email from a particular service? That’s something very different to being unsubscribed. You’re asking to be added to a list, permanently.
> I'd argue you have to be really good at JS to handle any heavier library integrations.

You aren't wrong there! LiveView was initially developed to make a certain class of web-app without needing JS. Of course, people went and pushed it further and I see it as a "only write the JS that is necessary" type of framework. I'm very fullstack-minded so this doesn't bother me in the least. I love writing JS for DOM manipulations and whatnot, I just don't want to write any business or server-side logic with it, so LiveView is a great fit for me. But even as an advocate, if your application needs to be very JS-heavy, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. No frameworks are one-size-fits all, but of course most people want to work that way.

Was also looking for a color legend. I can generally understand the different colors/layers, but was initially confused.

Text that explains exactly what each color refers to would be helpful.
Yes, and you know how humans acquire works to learn from?

They pay for it.

They buy the books. They buy tickets to theatre. They buy entrance to the gallery.

The trick that's being done now is hey, we don't have to pay since it's not a person. (to the creator) But hey, it is just like a person when it learns! (legal system)

If AI models require human training data, then they should pay for it. Easy.
But the ad networks also serve fraudulent ads and even worse, malware. How is that an improvement?
I think we as developers underestimate the value of a 100 line Python script. Everything could be hard coded and inflexible, but it's still easy to refactor because you can keep the whole thing in your head.

"Bad" design can be fine if it's kept simple.
To some extent, in most fields, the US has become more a regulatory follower than a leader (the big exception would be finance; the SEC in particular is still hugely influential); it waits on, generally, the EU (or sometimes California) to do stuff, and then sometimes adopts it either de facto or de jure (for practical purposes, US auto emissions rules are dictated by California, and in practice the US gets most of the benefits of the RoHS just from it _existing_, say; California has actually adopted some of the RoHS in law).

Now that the GDPR and CCPA have existed for a while, and the kinks are getting worked out (see, for instance, the article above), that lowers the cost of adoption, and will make GDPR-type rules an easier sell for US states who want to adopt them, or the US as a whole.

Russia and China do not have GDPR-type protections (they do have some data locality rules, though for rather different reasons).
The USA does have a publicly funded genetic biobank mostly of US veterans. Its somewhat notorious in the research community for being difficult to gain access to. The UK biobank or the myriad other national biobanks are generally pay to use for researchers and are anonymous.

I had the same thought. It seems like the improvements there weren't worth talking about.

AFAICT, the biggest benefit is just the unified memory model at this point.
The lack of civil discourse grinds my gears. I've seen people phoning into town hall meetings only to launch racial slurs and profanity at a rapid rate and then people cry about freedom of speech. Or when a reporter asks a question and they're told to shut up.

People often advocate for freedom of speech yet ignore the ethical responsibility of civil discourse.
"Back in the day" I identified a way to save prob a quarter million dollars a year on my project, funded with your tax dollars. Created a spreadsheet model for the cost, documented it all, and gave it to my boss. He said "I'll look it over". I asked his two weeks later if he'd been thru it. His response was "It looks correct. Nice job." I asked if were going to trial it.
Golden response: "No, we don't get paid to save money; we get paid to spend money."
And that is when I truly understood Cost+Award Fee contracting with the gov't.
WFH is a delicate topic.

I have been WFH since the start of the pandemic, and then later joined a fully remote company that had no offices whatsoever.

Like most people here, I don't miss commuting in the cold or the rain. However, what I do miss is having a human connection with the people I work with. I have found remote to be much more transactional, and consequently isolating.

I am not sure if remote work is for me. I have made many friends from my previous jobs who I still see, despite us all moving on from the companies where we met. I fear I won't have that here, and honestly it's something that I miss deeply.

WFH is nirvana for me - married dad living exactly where I always wanted to, paying less than half my city rent on a <3% mortgage.

But let's be honest - when I was in my 20s it was the people I met in the office and at work-adjacent activities that fueled the social and romantic aspects of my life. I can't imagine not having those experiences and just dialing-in at 24 or 25 from my Brooklyn neighborhood where I knew nobody and didn't fit in.

Life is different today, there may be way more ways of connecting outside of work, but I'm not sure they are actually drop-in replacements for connecting in the office.
These ideas are even more unpalatable when rephrased into “I have to come back to the office so that I can be someone’s social chew toy.”

It’s like making me come back to the office because you realized that you made better calorie decisions when we went to lunch at Panera together.

I can appreciate how some people have better outcomes in the office but it doesn’t make sense to drag other people back because they are helpful NPCs to some end beyond the work.
What makes Ohm better for building parsers and compilers?
I live in Europe. Out of an office of 9, only 2 want to go back. One person is in sales and I assume is very extroverted, the 2nd is an old man, who likes the whole "dress up, get to the office early, I'm a serious businessman" cosplay. The 2 GenZers don't seem to mind working from home, and this is despite the fact they've only recently moved here.
I never understood why my high school buddy was so afraid of dogs. I would tease him sometimes because when he saw a large dog, even on a leash, he would edge to the other side of me and act nervous. He's a big and typically brave dude so it was out of character. Plus I just never had a concept of dogs as dangerous based on my childhood experiences.

He eventually explained that he grew up in the poor neighborhood, where people keep large, poorly trained "guard dogs" that occasionally escape and roam the streets. As a child he had to evade roaming dogs several times, including one occasion where he genuinely believes he was running for his life. Apparently it fucked him up pretty badly. Poorly trained dogs (especially those that are bread for aggression) are no joke, even to full grown adults.
Given they had to settle for indiscourse.com, I'd guess they would say yes.
It's a matter of proportion.

In NYC for example theres 400 murders per year, and maybe 1 "bad shoot" by cops where someone ends up dead and the cop should be in jail.

Other jurisdictions the proportion can be far worse, and justifiably reform is being sought. LAPD has about 10x the cop on civilian shootings of NYPD.

In some areas it's like being worried about getting powder burns from the airbag in your car if you crash it and the airbag goes off. I'll keep the airbag, as will most people when you actually poll them.

Meanwhile some of the white liberals who were marching in summer 2020 are the first people to call the cops for trivialities like a noise complaint or car parked in their bike lane..

Counterexample: adaptive quadrature. It's pretty simple to reason about, but it would be a bit of a mess to try to do iteratively.

Adaptive quadrature is numeric integration, with an accuracy that is better than an error bound. It uses a three-point and a five-point approximation of the integral value on a region. From the difference between the two, it makes an estimate of the error. If the error is above the error bound, it splits the interval in half, and recursively calls itself twice with the two halves of the interval (and both times with half the error bound).

I mean, you could iteratively do that with a queue of intervals and error bounds, and a running total of the ones that met their error bound, but that seems messier than the recursive version.
This is getting out of hand. Guess it's a sign that the forced RTO is not working
