I am willing to take that risk. It's not really a big concern to begin with.

I'd consider someones review if they bought the game themselves, they don't generate any revenue from it and we have had similar taste in the past. Even the most brief word of mouth praise of something from a friend is going to be more valuable than any length review from a biased source. It might also be possible to find a collection of random people on Steam to follow just for their reviews. I've never tried this, but I think it would abide by my guidelines of trustworthiness.
I suspect that decision-makers with this attitude at most tech companies are a big part of why right to privacy is disappearing. At some point this is going to bite us hard in the ass, metaphorically speaking.

This article is by a Rust contributor. I'm sure they want to see Rust be more widely adopted as well. Async is pretty great, but it's not perfect, and in some situations its shortcomings cannot be worked around easily.
Great comment! Totally agree here!

A lot of boomers didn't like the TV-ization of the world. For a long time Neil Postman's "Amusing ourselves to death," was a top rated academic commentary on how TV is ruining society by moving us more towards sensationalized news, easy manipulation, centralization, etc. Its sad to think that war is long over and TV has won. And now that same war has been lost on the internet with things like youtube.

I'd argue tik-tok is a new artform and not TV or youtube like at all, and works pretty well for what it does. It doesn't ever, at least for me, take the place of written materials or photo tutorials or technical articles, but youtube is doing its best to replace those items. Tik-tok is more a unique media that wants to create a new space in your life and badly constrained by its short video focus, but youtube trying to eat the internet by eating up traditional spaces like written media.

That's true for implementations like python async, but rust operates a bit differently (mostly to avoid allocations across await points). The author of this article has some other very good posts about it.
Using SQLite is most certainly not "building their own filebased database-system"

SQLite is just about as mature and well-tested as it gets in the entire world of software: https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html

Each users' data is naturally partitioned at the atproto repository level, so this is the sweet spot for per-user SQLite databases. It would make total sense for a PDS instance to have just a single user on it, and in fact that is likely for many self-hosters. It's also worth noting that the PDS software already had SQLite support, which made this change somewhat easier.

There are legitimte trade-offs to this kind of a system but it comes out way ahead in this case, and it's not as wild as it may seem to those not familiar with the power of SQLite.

A major consideration is that we're planning to run at least 100+ instances, which would require operating 100+ high availability (primary+replica) Postgres clusters. This would be a huge amount of operational and financial overhead.

We chose this route because it is better for us as a small team, with relatively limited resources. But it also has the property of being much easier for self-hosters, of which we hope there will be many.

No one cares about an Ivy education in tech, it's worth about as much as a state school. The programs are completely devoid of rigor. Now CMU or MIT might raise some eyebrows in a good way but there's maybe 3 or 4 schools in the country that are 'notable' for CS.
TLDR: transformer models (on gpt2 scale) are great (near-optimal) at interpolating between the cases given in (pre-)training, but as soon as we leave the training domain fail at extrapolation. Impressive results may be more due to the wide breadth of (pre-)training data, and less due to generalization ability.

This is sort of misleading.

First off its the king of canada, which technically is a separate position that just happens to be held by the same person (personal union), with same succession rules, and also a treaty where everyond is supposed to agree before changing succession rules.

More importantly it is a constitutional monarchy. The crown can't just do what it pleases but is bound by the constitution.

A big part of that is the king must listen to the advice of the prime minister/the privy council, and that the prime minister must have the confidence of the legeslative branch.

In practise the king lacks pretty much all power. There are a couple edge cases (fire the governor general maybe) and still a lot of soft power, but he is essentially a distant figurehead.
The Autopian's been doing pretty well with it, too.

I think there's two things interacting here that make this more tractable than first impressions - first is that the cost of running one of these sites as a sustainable business is a hell of a lot lower than whatever crazy shit the PE & hedge funders were pushing for. I also think people's willingness to pay for quality content is higher than has been assumed, and I think part of that is a lot of us have seen what the cost of free content is over the last couple years.

I think you're right that these sites will never be more than niche by subscriber count, but I think there's more appetite now than before and I think it's entirely possible to make a sustainable business here.

I'm also generally in favor of a world where writers and creators get paid a decent wage to write and create things I find valuable or interesting, so I'm biased here.
The problem with GPTs-as-products is that differentiation is almost impossibly opaque. How many “amazing prompts” have you tried from Twitter or Reddit only to find they cause the model to behave in slightly undesirable ways in certain scenarios. Or perhaps the output is basically the same as you would get from your own custom “do this thing” instruction? Beyond giving access to the latest documentation or meaningful performance leaps (like chain of thought prompting), it’s simply too hard to informally A/B test them against each other and decide if one is actually better than another. I know for me I’ve almost given up on custom instructions because the code that comes out of my most intricate system prompt is only superficially better.

> An attacker can reveal the key.

An attacker can reveal the keystream, but not the AES key. Still catastrophic.

And AES-SIV is a lot stronger than CBC with deterministic IV, since CBC reveals if two messages start with the same sequence of 16-byte blocks, while SIV only reveals if the messages are identical.

You should take to heart that most people here are not just "shitting on stuff without ever learning", but have seen this story play out many times now.

Everything you described about LPs, TVL, and token value; you are just describing the mechanics of the ponzi scheme, not describing the way in which it isn't a ponzi scheme.

If you are getting "interest" over 20%, what you are doing is extracting that money (which isn't real until you turn it into fiat, btw) from the people in the future who lose money when the scheme inevitably crashes; they are transferring their future losses backward in time to you in the present.

That's fine as far as it goes, if you're aware of what's going on, ethically comfortable with it, and make sure to get out of the scheme early enough to not yourself be one of the people left without a chair when the music stops.

But from your comment, I think it seems like you aren't one of the people cynically taking advantage of the scheme, in which case, you are actually one of the marks.

It is simply not possible for a scheme that is above board to pay over 4x the prevailing global interest rate, without significant risk.

I don't think this is exactly a scam but my understanding is that these businesses exploit a loophole in de minimis trade rules that were meant for consumers bringing in negligible amounts of goods they purchased overseas without tariffs, rather than massive businesses selling products all over the U.S. Once that loophole is closed the business model might collapse (or they might try to move production to Mexico, cheap U.S. states, etc.)

> Isn’t that how a democracy is supposed to work? If the residents don’t want the changes, where does one derive the (moral) authority to override their desires?

From the same place the "residents" derive it? Governments act for the good of the governed and via their consent. Those towns are in the State of California, the United States, etc... There's no absolutist principle that says that the "most local enclosing government" wins (in fact the Federal constitution clearly says the opposite).
I don't think "intransigent" is a fair description. At the end of the day, Python 3 was a different language from Python 2, and people weren't going to switch languages if there wasn't a benefit to them. That's a perfectly reasonable position. The Python dev team extended the end of life date for Python 2 from 2015 to 2020 because they realized that Python 3 simply hadn't advanced enough by 2015 to make it worth while for all the Python 2 users to switch.

What the heck are you talking about?

None of what you just said makes any sense.
"democracy" can mean a range of things, and, in addition, it's not really clear who the relevant group of people are whose collective will we should care about.

For example, why draw the circle around these residents instead of thinking that the CA state legislature, as reps of the people of the state, should be entrusted with making all zoning decisions and such with a bird's eye view of what benefits the whole state? You can make a reasonable case why that's suboptimal, but at that point, we wouldn't be talking of "moral authority"

"Moral authority" doesn't really seem compelling to me, personally, as like a concept for judging government actions, and to the extent it does, I don't share the normative premise that "democracy" is supposedly an intrinsic or unadulterated good such that the most "democratic" proposition should win over others.

There is a thread that I think I may agree with here - something along the lines of the regression towards the acceptable sexual mean in mass media - but you specifically called out a trend where "people have become regressive about sexuality in video games", stating:

> a bunch of people were convinced to go all the way from 90's style "toxic masculinity" to a totally puritanical anti-sexuality stance

To the contrary, I find that there is more sex - including a greater variety in the expression of human sexuality - in mainstream video game titles than I can ever remember there being in my lifetime. Surely a lot of people are paying money for these video games, or else they would not be produced.

Edit: fixed redundant phrasing.

Philadelphia metro area has very weak wages compared to most other east coast cities for tech. We don't have much of a FAANG or tech company presence here to bid up market salaries(outside of a couple of satellite offices in the suburbs). I can tell you from my network that with ~6-7+ YoE you can earn about ~180-210k counting base & bonus at most of the banks or financial firms as a new hire at the VP or tech lead level.
Depends on what salary you are looking for. If you want the coveted FANG jobs, as I understand it, you'll have to grind leetcode. There's a bit of a downturn right now, so don't let that dampen your efforts.

>Unless they are going to live with you forever, a new home must be built to contain them.

That's not accurate. The birth/death rate is up-side down (more people die than are born), so they can live in a previously occupied house like I do. Also, people who retire often move to a lower cost of living city. I'm not against gradual, planned growth, but BUILD BUILD BUILD, like people in the Bay Area seem to want isn't what I would want either. It's happening in my city too and it sucks.

>Unless you want your children to leave the state and live far away from you, new housing stock must be built to house them in your current town.

I suspect they'll live where they want to and/or find work. I don't really have much say in that once they're adults.

>If you don’t want your town to grow, you must take a vow of celibacy and convince every single one of your neighbors to do the same. Since that’s absurd, the only option left is to increase housing supply.

There's a big difference between gradual, natural, planned expansion and rapid, explosive expansion. I want the former, not the latter. I suspect the main reason of the overpopulation of the Bay Area is directly related to the tech companies that reside there. Maybe they should spread out their workforce some more.
I think they were comparing losing a home to losing a service that your business or income source depend on. The second actually seems worse to me as losing your source of money means you lose your home along with everything else.
I usually do non-blocking ops with hardware interrupts, DMA, distributed computing (over CAN etc), and multiple cores. For GPOS/Desktop PCs, threads, SIMD (GPU or CPU etc) are effective.
