One of the earliest to go was media fandom. The kind of stuff you find today on fandom.com used to happen on wikipedia, but then Jimmy Wales founded wikicities for that kind of thing because he did not like it being there.

Your local library probably has a magazine rack with some stupid shit in it but is it not stupid shit that patrons are interested in? Wikipedia ousted it for better or for worse.
Interesting to know that you don't need to become a dull and boring person without social live if you want to do TRE :-)

The interesting bit for me: "Participants in the TRE group were adherent with their eating window on a mean (SD) of 6.1 (0.8) days per week"

I like TRE, but I don't follow it religiously. Some day of the week I will drink a wine with my partner or drink a beer with my friends. The night I drink I also eat a breakfast the morning after. Nice to know that it works if sometimes you fail to follow.

To your last point, I think this is something people get confused about. I think no reasonable person says science is always right and there is never any corruption in the process. Science is done by humans and humans are fallible. The argument is that science is the best we have, not that it's perfect.

One thing I see with 100% of conspiracy theorists is that they have no self-awareness of when they're wrong. They will believe 1000 things and when 1 of them turns out to be true, they both think it validates the other 999 and will never consider they were perhaps right for the wrong reasons. My point is that, as you say, "Being firmly anti-pseudoscience and anti-conspiracy theory and anti-fringe might not be the best heuristic for discovering the truth", but it's the best we have. I'll also paraphrase one more quote that I heard from the great Tim Minchin, but he didn't know who to credit it to, "if you open your mind too much, your brain will fall out".
That's a weird bubble people have put themselves in, but isn't a rough economy going to have the opposite effect, that people will take a harder look and realize it's all marketing BS and phones are all pretty much the same now? In other words, it's expensive to let yourself be taken in by the idea of a possession being a status symbol so it's one of the first thing to go when it stops making sense.
TIL also. The difference between guaranteed and burstable seems meaningless without this setting.
To some extent presenting a cynical affect is seen as intelligent, or “cool”. The poster claims they like the work, so I’d just take them at their word.
My day to day experience is that I regularly need over 30GB of RAM for simulation and media workflows, and I don't use my Macs for them because PC RAM is so much cheaper.
I don’t think I could be more in disagreement and Apple’s third straight quarter of falling sales seems to support that. At some point everyone has a phone that is good enough and no one cares what phone you have. I feel the same way about Tesla now and see a lot of parallels. I sold mine and I really don’t see it as the status symbol it used to be. There are lots of Teslas around, they even look kind of dated now. And who wants to be associated with Elon or the tons of lame people that just got a Tesla as a status symbol? I’m looking with anticipation at the new Volvo EX30 EV that starts at 35k.

I can see something similar happening with phones except a new iPhone has no revolutionary technology like an EV does to entice someone. My iPhone 12 Mini works awesome and will be pried out of my cold dead hands, since they have stopped making small phones.
If you pay for the home assistant cloud subscription (built into HA, ~5 USD/mo) they can provision custom callback URLs for you so you don’t have to expose your HA instance. I have this setup for certain integrations such as Samsung Smart Things.

It’s not a perfect solution since it costs money but it’s a nice alternative to exposing your HA instance or some other front end proxy to the internet.

I like wandb but really it's just an aggregated metrics platform and it's cloud based design limits what's possible due to bandwidth constraints.

I like this tool from Nvidia [1] for exploring CNN feature maps. That's more in line with what I'm talking about but it's is an offline tool. I am imagining tools that provide this granularity of information about networks in real-time during training.

> I tell everyone to move to firefox, help them set it up and most are convinced.

That already helps significantly. :)

> I have nothing to say so don't host

A fair point, probably only a small % of people on the internet need to actualyl host something. There is some middle ground with federated hosting like write.as , so hosting is not always needed.
I think the reason that estimating is hard is that no one ever returns to their estimates and tries to fix the estimates. What usually happens is that people throw out a number, mismanagers think that number is negotiable, and whether the project's completion is in any way related to the estimate - the estimate is forgotten.

No one writes down "this is why I think the project will take X [time units]".

And no one goes back to that estimate and says "I left Y & Z out of that estimate, I better include that next time."

If you want estimates that have any relation to reality, your estimating process needs to have that sort of feedback.

> When people saying that estimating is hard...

I think they're referring to the sort where management negotiates the estimates, like you're haggling over something in the marketplace. If they have such a strong opinion about how long something should take, then asking you for estimates is setting you up for failure and blamestorming. "It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?"
I read somewhere its similar to the singer sewing machine story.

They kept adding new features every year but once most people who had a sewing machine sales tanked.
Reddit has this problem and it ultimately drove me (and I'm sure many others) away, it seems like you can't have a nuanced opinion, and god forbid if you have an opinion that goes against the grain of a sub.

FWIW, Wikipedia also has this problem. Just spend half an hour going through some page histories and browsing some user pages, you'll find feuds and infighting all over the place. People with a profile saying "I stopped contributing because user XYZ essentially bullied me", yadda yadda.
It obviously makes me think of the third wave of feminism but that was only in the 90s. Just like the third wave of ska.

Ask HN: Recommendations for Community Collection of Knowledge for GPT Generation
With OpenAI now supporting custom GPTs, I am looking for suggestions and ideas on efficiently collecting knowledge from a participating community who wants to collectively train the GPT for the domain in question. I've considered how Reddit, Stackoverflow, Wikipedia, and other semi structured data repositories are architected, and am looking for suggestions along those lines (Discourse comes to mind, for example).

Thank you in advance.

I'm surprised the other way. I would not expect 31% of players to make it halfway through Dark Souls. I probably got about 1% through it. Regardless of the "quality", I didn't find it fun.
I use the Athom one also, and putting a reed switch in the fully closed state, as well as in the fully open state allows me to reasonably determine where the door is. Might not be enough for your case, but for me it was enough to know that the door is “kinda open”, or “fully open”, or closed.

I’m tempted to think that the author saw those two examples (and Monaco) as cities more than countries, which, for an analysis of urban density makes sense. That would be like excluding the Vatican from an analysis of immigration.
> There is a world you could be working in a place where you are more passionate and less cynical.

The idea that if you're passionate about something you won't have any complaints about it or enjoy it 100% of the time is unhealthy. Most people realize that there's always an element of 'grind' to any task. You could be the most passionate person in the world, but I can guarantee that something about your passion will annoy you slightly. That's just being human
Curious if anyone familiar with Azure/OpenAI could make some guesses on the root cause here. The official OpenAI incident updates seem to be very generic.
Yes, takes all sorts, and probably a lot of it comes down to what you're used to. Paradoxically I find being down the country claustrophobic; in truly rural areas (and in places with particularly poor provision for pedestrians, like most of the US, this often manifests even in outer suburbs) you can't really get anywhere without driving, and you may not be able to leave your house at all without driving (probably no footpath, narrow unsafe road).

I'd never consider living somewhere where I couldn't, at minimum, walk to supermarkets, bars, restaurants, parks, etc.

In Europe is already standard. The US will switch to NACS but that's what most cars sold in the US already had and by 1-2 years from now all new cars will be NACS.
> You're giving the World's Largest And Most Ineffective Bureaucracy far too much agency.

Not really sure what you're saying here.

I'll just reiterate my point. If there were any real measures in place to protect the data of specific individuals, their data wouldn't be winding up in hacked databases all over the web.

> Who said it needs to be removed in order to secure these servicemembers' identities?

That's what your previous comment seemed to imply. If that wasn't your point, what was your point?

> It's the only solution that will work; to treat it as a constiutional mandate.

Orrrr you could just have a privacy act like California, Europe and numerous other reasonable states have. It has nothing to do with the constitution or foreign trading in particular.
There was an article, maybe a year ago, that reported that Tre and three meals a day with the same calories had the same effect.

Overwatch has networked gunplay and uses ECS to deal with that hard problem.

Cool. I get why ECS is used there. Hard problem, meet the formalism that I will use to think about you.

A case board is not a hard problem. Using composition or a functional style instead of OOP is not a hard problem, or at least not a hard problem that ECS solves.

I'm not sure that we're talking past each other now, but I did want to at least respond to your point about Overwatch and note that ECS is used to solve an actual, hard problem there.
I'm not here to defend Chamberlain, mostly because I'm a pissed off user, but you are able to control your door still with RF products and buttons. Use of their API is separate, and they are able to authorize or not users to their API, which then also talks to your garage door. A lame nuance. We never own the API, we (sorta) own the product.
Ours isn't affected, but I think that's the whole point of having things hosted separately, out there in the megalith fields.
I disagree with the assertion that creating npm packages that interact with cypress is brand squatting. Names prefixed with the target ecosystem are common for discoverability and context.

Trademark law prevents competitors from using another company's name and brand in a confusing way, but some reference is often needed to identify compatibility.

Competition is healthy, and this feels like a much larger company taking increasingly aggressive moves towards a competitor who has created a superior hosted product in the same ecosystem.

In transparency, we were using Cypress Enterprise, were frustrated with their lack of responsiveness to product suggestions and support requests and rapidly increasing costs. We switched to Currents and have been much happier with the speed, quality of product, responsiveness, and cost. We were impacted and disrupted by yesterday's sudden blocking of v12, which occurred without explicit notification despite our Cypress accounts. Currents now provides alternative Cypress Binaries - https://currents.dev/readme/integration-with-cypress/alterna...

Fortunately, we've been migrating to Playwright, which Currents has supported as of this year. This accelerates the need.

Edit: There's a GitHub issue opened by others impacted, including people who had considered getting paid Cypress support until the unilateral blocking - https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/28269
SNCOs have up-or-out too, for sure. I agree that the promotion system across the board is FUBAR. I'm talking about other sytems, typically at the unit level, that can be used to supplement or even side-load the current 'official' rating system, which is a joke.
I suspect that the difference between average intelligence and brilliance is small indeed, and that accomplishing the former will quickly, or even simultaneously, accomplish the latter.

This is the first year I haven't upgraded my phone in at least 2 years since the early 2000s. My iPhone 13 Pro is good enough and there's nothing compelling me to upgrade. Apple will have to do a lot better than that to convince me to upgrade my phone, and they haven't come up with a good reason yet.

My wife doesn't understand what I do on the computer all the time and she's pretty doubtful of my claim that server racks are normal household items. Nevertheless setting up the HA app on her phone with a Wireguard VPN was super simple and she's got a good handle on that.

That being said, setting up the HA and Wireguard server is definitely a more demanding experience. Although once setup it's pretty much a once and done sort of thing, and they're are integrated ready to go solutions available.

It would be nice to see something like "Geek Squad" offering that sort of service instead of just running AV software while trawling for nudes on customer laptops. No guesses on what's more profitable though.
>I trust a technical Fed report
>As a formal central bank economist

So you trust in what you already have faith in? That's not a source that inspires confidence in our discourse.

>That report is half speculation about the future ("looks set to end soon, >with excess household savings likely to be depleted by year-end")

As other pointed out in this thread this data suggests differently. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PSAVERT
All trends are speculations about the future. From your own report: "By this metric, in the 2022 survey, 82 percent of families in the top decile of the usual income distribution saved, compared with 66 percent of families in the upper-middle segment and 43 percent of families in the bottom half. Between 2019 and 2022, the overall fraction of families that saved edged down from 59 percent to 56 percent, with decreased saving observed among all three segments."

So savings spiked then disappeared at the same time all these positive numbers on assets began to surface. How interesting.

Yet, "Among families in the bottom quartile, median net worth was $400 in 2019 and $3,500 in 2022, and *mean net worth was negative $15,700 in 2019 and negative $5,300 in 2022.* Among families in the top decile, median net worth was $3,012,500 in 2019 and $3,794,600 in 2022, and mean net worth was $6,641,800 in 2019 and $7,810,500 in 2022."

In addition to, "Younger people – those below the age of 35 – are far more likely to rent than are other age groups: About two-thirds (65.9%) of this age group lives in rentals. This compares with, for example, 42% of those ages 35 to 44, and less than a third (31.5%) of 45- to 54-year-olds." (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/08/02/as-nation...)

So the growth in assets from homeownership doesn't make sense for a large majority of the population; but, for those who rent the increase in personal savings makes a ton of sense given the CDCs moratorium. The increase in upper class wealth makes sense as many bought additional homes; which fits with the ever increasing prices in homes. The decrease in savings and the rising cost of borrowing would indicate trouble ahead. The confidence gained from well manufactured data is fleeting.
How is anything a status symbol that is owned by 60% of the population in the US?

You can get an iPhone for $20 a month or less from either Apple or the carrier.

Heck even the low cost MVNOs are offering a “free iPhone”.

It's hard to feel positive about upgrading my phone when every new phone seems to remove things I want while adding stuff I don't care about.

My S10e is a reasonable size in my pocket. It has a headphone jack. It has an SD card slot. Any new Samsung phone I buy will be missing these things, and I'll be forced to pay hundreds of dollars extra to increase the on-board storage that will still be far less than the 512GB sd card I've currently got in there.

And I could try switching away from Samsung, but then I risk losing even more features I take to be standard, like wireless charging.

The phone still works just fine, it's fast enough for my needs (although the battery is certainly worse than when I got it). I would be more than happy to pay like $100/yr for "extended" support on it to still get repairs and security patches, rather than having to chuck it in the bin.
I'm noticing issues with Midjourney, too. Also looks like Royal Mail is down.

I think we're taking the wrong lesson here. Wikipedia is the "Last Good Place" on the internet - it's not decentralized or federated. It is governed by a non-profit and funded by donations.

There are good reasons the fediverse hasn't caught on yet and it comes down to user experience. We haven't figured out how to build a federated service that truly coheres as a single platform, network, or community across the whole network. (Yes, individual instances act as coherent communities, but the links to other instances are weak.) And we haven't figured out how to reduce the cognitive load of joining a federated platform to the point where it's accessible to the average user . I think this is a big part of why Mastodon is still touting usage in the single digit millions while Threads and Bluesky grew several orders of magnitude more as Twitter melted down.

Until we solve those problems - which by necessity includes solving the discovery problem - we're not going to be able to successfully decentralize the net. Those problems are a huge part of what lead the net to centralize into massive platforms in the first place, and we can't undo it with out resolving those factors.

And solving coherence and discovery in federation is a multi-trillion dollar, decades and a research team, Very Hard Problem (tm).

...but we know how to build centralized platforms that are democratically governed by non-profits. Wikipedia showed us how, and there's a lot that could be improved upon to do even better in terms of transparency and governance. And yes, democracy is hard. It just is. Community is hard. Society is hard. It requires deliberation and compromise. And it will never be perfect (as Wikipedia is far from perfect).

But it would sure as hell be better than what we've got.

The main piece that's missing is startup funding. Non-profit funders mostly don't understand software. We need non-profit funders who are willing to fund the development of platforms until they gain the sorts of critical mass that would allow them to fund their operations through donations.
