In short, because of SEO. Google downranks your site if it has the same content as an already existing site. This means you have to rephrase every single article on your new wiki because wikia refuses to delete anything hosted with them. So your choice is either stay with wikia or try to battle against wikias SEO.[1]

Reminds me of a card game I played as a kid called Egyptian Ratscrew, where one of the possible rules is to slap the deck if a "sandwich" appeared (e.g. a 3, a J, then another 3), so you always had to keep the card before the last one in your head. I remember variations such as "double sandwiches"—which made the 2-back into a 3-back—and many others.

I know AWS - and I would guess the others too - discourage hybrid by setting the egress traffic costs to extreme levels
hmm, any idea if they do this with motorcycles?
It just exposes how stupid our software stacks are. Everything is driven by "well, maybe they'd want to customize this and that and that and three hundred irrelevant details". When in reality all we ever wanted was to separate the functionality from its presentation. Which, incidentally, was exactly the Web we had in 1996 with just bare HTML. Things have gone horribly, horribly wrong in such a mind-bogglingly stupid way and nobody is better for it. Oh but those dropshadows and inner flexboxes or something.
Does amphetamine help concentration?
It is not a technical problem. It is a social one. From a safety standpoint having more or less municipally run nuclear reactors is terrifying.
I am absolutely not surprised, this should be a completely expected outcome if you've ever worked with film lights. For reference our light was probably more like 40-50 feet away from our test article.

We loaned it to some NASA colleagues once, but their safety manager refused to allow it in the building. At all.
Not everyone has a Costco membership or a Costco near them. There also doesn't seem to be any indication that there is a pre-arranged pricing arrangement for Amazon like Costco.

Super cool, as LLM agents continue to grow in popularity the field needs more open datasets for function calling + open models finetuned specifically for function calling. Excited to try and integrate the new function calling model into MemGPT and compare it to the various Mistral 7B finetunes.
Yes, you need a quicker power source to balance, and Sweden got that with the hydro power.

The hydro power is not enough as base power for the large cities in the south, on the other hand, in part because in part the capacity is not enough, and in part because how the extremely long transport lines from the far north (where the hydro power is located) to the major cities in the south are a serious bottle-neck. Increasing their capacity (across up to thousands of kilometers) isn't easily done in a few years even.

> What I find unsavory, is OpenAI imposing content restrictions like NSFW.

I mean, the fact that people's NSFW conversations were being processed in a way where both OP and multiple companies could monitor them and do absolutely anything they want with them is a hint that something went very wrong there.

I consider OpenAI pre-emptively pulling the plug a good thing in this case. Maybe there's a case for an AI erotica service, but OP sure as hell shouldn't be the one operating it.
I was excited because that’s literally the killer feature. The dealer is the worst part because the bad ones tie up inventory and the good ones are always sold out and not getting enough allocated to account for their higher volume

You can deregister your phone number from Messages by Google here:

This is similar to Apple's iMessage deregistration page.[1]

Google has been funneling RCS messages through its own servers to bypass wireless carriers, which were slow or unwilling to directly support RCS.[2] Unfortunately, this has centralized RCS communications through Google and allowed Google to make end-to-end encryption available to RCS users as a proprietary extension that Google never contributed back to the RCS Universal Profile specification.[3]

For RCS on Android to be decentralized again, your wireless carrier would need to support RCS on the network level and Android would also need to implement RCS in a way that does not require interaction with Google servers. This would make deregistration unnecessary.

The device on the edge creates the data but must also label it, right?
Or just kill SMS entirely. SMS is old tech from the 1990s. We have better things now, like e-mail over LTE/5G, that work across countries, across devices (whoa!), across providers, across SIM cards (wow!) allow more than 140 characters (wow wow!), and allows easy-to-remember alphanumeric identifiers for user ids (wow wow wow is this the future!). I hate SMS confirmations, I don't want to use my phone number as a username, and I will most certainly never donate to an organization that is using my donations to pay for stupid SMS texts after e-mail was invented.
Thanks for the suggestion; I just signed up for the $5/month plan. I have been using Signal for years, but never considered donating anything before.
Life isn't so simple. What if that person is your boss or your client, or someone you love?
Which is why you need gas turbines for minor fluctuations.
Buuut if you don't have any nuclear it's gas all the way.

EDIT: and yes, if the hydro is far away, it doesn't help much. Besides hydro also depends on weather, although on periods about 10 years or so. But when just once you don't have enough water then what?
It's funny how certain subjects are deemed taboo and pearl-clutching ensues whenever they are mentioned.
> I think the filament itself has a bit of a filtering effect (it takes time to heat and cool),

I believe the time constant for most small lamps is 30ms and longer for bigger lamps. 1 / (2 * pi * 30ms) is 5Hz, so 120 Hz will be about 30 dB down. This is probably just barely big enough to matter.
"And finally fluoride supplement from the family can easily tip the scale dramatically in total consumption which make the comparison pointless."

In groups of 100? What's the percentage of people that routinely consume toxic levels of fluoride from dental supplements (that study ran four months)? People don't generally eat toothpaste or drink mouthwash but I'm sure it happens. I just wouldn't assume that it would happen often enough to give you poison data.

" Like with many other minerals, too little is actually harmful, there is a right dosage and too much is again showing toxicity."

This is where I'm at on tap water...I assert that LOW-DOSAGE exposure over extended periods of time is bad and I assert that in the US there are area's that have incredibly high-doses of fluoride in tap water (at least 6 parts per million). Which is bad all around. Water is controlled at the jurisdiction level and there's NO guarantee that you're getting below the recommended dose of fluoride. I'm of the opinion that it's completely nuts to put this stuff in the drinking water and the Indian, Harvard, and recent NIH papers appear to back this up.

"Why do the papers against do not mention this, do not mention any theorical model to explain their findings, do not correct for socio-demographics factors when we know that intelligence is generally very poorly related to any other variables except those ones which disproportionately explain it?"

I agree with this...In the first study I could not tell if they controlled for socio-economic status. They identified villages with varying levels of fluoride and called it a day. The Harvard study did though. And the American study I linked to seemed to control for this as well...And they all came back with results that were similar...Repeated low-doses of fluoride have detrimental effects to development health.

Form the harvard study:
"We carried out a pilot study of 51 first-grade children in southern Sichuan, China, using the fluoride concentration in morning urine after an exposure-free night; fluoride in well-water source; and dental fluorosis status as indices of past fluoride exposure. We administered a battery of age-appropriate, relatively culture-independent tests that reflect different functional domains: the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-IV) digit span and block design; finger tapping and grooved pegboard. Confounder-adjusted associations between exposure indicators and test scores were assessed using multiple regression models. "

First, my apology that I am making this off-topic remark.

I feel like I at least want to know the title of the linked video, even if it doesn't reveal much about the video.

We’ve been on both Hetzner and OVH for years and have never had this happen.

The move does cost money, once. Then the savings over years add up to a lot. We made this change more than 10 years ago and it was one of the best decisions we ever made.
when we don't optimize for cloud and look at it from this angle and squint, it looks like we're saving money!
Why? There are tons of no-go danger zones all over the world already. Creating some more for nuclear waste is a minimal tradeoff. It sounds like you simply don't want to be convinced. You've fallen for the propaganda.
Relevant portion below, taken from this page (https://dev.to/sadeedpv/someone-copied-my-code-on-github-and...):

'With the MIT license, you should really also put your copyright and license notices at the top of each source file in a comment in addition to the license file in the repo. This way if someone uses one or more files but not entire repo, your copyright notice and license declaration stays with your code, unless they deliberately remove it. With only a license file you risk someone who only needs one of your source files separating those notices from your code accidentally with no ill-intention toward you or your work.'

Our (Swedens) base load is mostly nuclear and hydro currently, the capacity generated from each type can be viewed live at https://www.svk.se/kontrollrummet

But we have multiple large industries starting up in the coming decades which will require substantial power, while at the same time electric vehicles are slowly but surely becoming mainstream, further straining our grid.

Increasing nuclear is a great (and necessary) decision, it's just a shame the decision wasn't taken 20 years ago.
Small modular reactors is what we need most. Wind and solar covers most land based electric needs, but a small modular reactor is still the only feasible answer for ocean shipping I've seen. (sail boats do exist, but they have many disadvantages vs an engine)
Disable the cache in dev-tools, you can't miss it.
I'm not so sure it's a zero sum kind of thing. Yes, it seems likely that they are paying at least one full time employee to maintain their production environment. At the same time, AWS isn't without it's complications, there are people who are employed specifically to babysit it.

Why assume that person was stealing anything from the employer, rather than simply being a shitty reseller that only ships when they get a good discount from working in the industry.

A call like that can incentivize them to buy at full price and sell at a loss when their inventory is lacking.
NASA has blown up a lot of RS-25s over decades in testing to get to that point. And a couple of Shuttles.

When half your components have decades of reliability under their belt of course it’s easier to have a successful first launch.

If your development methodology results in a product that is unsustainable to launch due to costs and scalability, that absolutely seems relevant to whether that methodology was successful.

The most common form of GMO is for tolerance of extremely high levels of pesticide and herbicide usage. This is mostly because engineering chemical resistance is a vastly simpler process than pest resistance.

Rational people are not generally concerned with the modifications themselves[1], but the results of the practices they allow, which is exactly what this article is about.

And it’s not like the actual pest-resistant strains are actually reducing pesticide usage. What incentive does a farmer have to do that? Likely the pesticide resistance is part of the package.

Perhaps there is an opportunity to flip this around and make a GMO crop that will not grow at all in the presence of pesticide or herbicide.

[1] Yes, there is growing rational concern for GMOs that are not just resistant to chemicals, but actually produce novel compounds that may affect humans.

After that 35% savings, they ended up saving about a US mid level engineer's salary, sans benefits. Hope the time needed for the migration was worth it.
Nope, eSIM plus physical SIM in an iPhone or in a Pixel or any other phone work just like 2 physical SIMs. It's been supported in mainstream Android for a few years now. Previously it was supported only on devices with 2 slots and each vendor had their flavor in Android.

> Signal actually jumps through quite a few hoops in order to let you and your contacts are on Signal without Signal actually having access to a copy of your whole address book. It's even mentioned in TFA.

It doesn't say how it works. If Alice's phone can tell whether her contact Bob uses Signal without Alice and Bob doing any sort of a priori cryptographic exchange, why couldn't Signal itself do whatever Alice's phone is doing?

Is iMessage better?

Sorry, not an iPhone user, so I genuinely don't know. I do my group chats with Google Chat, which seems to work fine. Are there things that I'm missing out on? (Perhaps because it's not an SMS-based service?)
>solar and wind

I keep seeing these two mixed together and it's unfair to wind.

Wind has proven itself and entire European countries have been able to run days on wind energy. With HVDC and energy storage wind alone could potentially cover more than half of our energy need.

Has solar shown the same potential?
Yes, it can. It provides a feeling of excitement or enthusiasm for whatever you're doing, and can be channeled into working hard for long periods of time. Especially if your job already brings you some satisfaction, then doing your job on amphetamine will provide more. Pilots in the airforce (and possibly other warfighters) are given amphetamine to augment their performance.

I think of it as basically stealing energy or enthusiasm from the future, though. You might feel energized and focused now, but it comes at the expense of less energy and focus when the drug wears off. The withdrawal effect is pretty mild if you take prescription doses of it though, e.g. Adderall (which is amphetamine). At normal moderate doses, taken in the morning, almost all of that energy can be recouped during sleep (though not all). I wouldn't want to take it daily for a long period of time though, otherwise you'll build up an 'energy deficit' that could lead to a crash.

P.S. I know people who have essentially destroyed their lives by becoming addicted to amphetamine or meth. It's a dangerous drug.
> You might not care: If you did an illegal bad thing to the company (like hacking), also doing insider trading might not bother you. Still it adds some risk. My Fifth Law of Insider Trading is “don’t insider trade by planting bombs at a company and buying put options on its stock.”

It's worth clicking that link: someone did exactly this a few years ago - planted bombs on the route of the team coach of German soccer club BVB and placed buy orders for derivatives, through which his identity was discovered after a hint from a stock trader who also was a BVB fan [1]. The perp ended up with 14 years in prison.

I think phind.com is using the GPT-4 API directly. I think most legit offers are actually doing that. phind.com is about tailoring the experience for coding and offer search powered AI.

This fiction remains that AWS requires no specialist expertise.

And your own computers require expertise so expensive and frightening that no sane company would host their own computers.

How Amazon created this alternate reality should be studied in business schools for the next 50 years. Amazon made the IT industry doubt its own technical capabilities so much that the entire industry essential gave up on the idea that it can run computer systems, and instead bought into the fabulously complex and expensive and technically challenging cloud systems, whilst still believing they were doing the simplest and cheapest thing.
A lot of comments here seem to be along the lines of "you can hire one more engineer," but given the current economic situation remember that might be "keep one more engineer." Would you lay off someone on your team to keep AWS?

Keeping a few racks of servers happily humming along isn't the massive undertaking that most people here seem to think it is. I think lots of "cloud native" engineers are just intimidated by having to learn lower levels to keep things running.
Would invites be a solution? Anyone can sign up if they provide a number, otherwise you need an invite from someone with a number linked. It would clump the identity/legitimacy for all invitees into origin number, but still allow disparate accounts.

Embracing a Breaking Change as an Innovation Catalyst
In that vein, I wonder if you use these embeddings and compression to work out a new sort of programming language which could extremely concisely represent these concepts. Probably the actual result would be so complex as to be worthless, like code golf languages but worse, but maybe it could help us come up with an interesting new programming language paradigm.
