There is absolutely nothing amoral about engaging directly in a fair game with consenting adults.

Nobody can lose anything they don’t choose to play. Consent matters.

We sell cigarettes on every streetcorner (to say nothing of bars), which is evidence that society has reached widespread consensus on the fact that addicts are allowed to choose to be addicted (or not) to things. (The vast, vast majority of people who play poker are not addicted to playing poker.)

This article is mostly about a nomenclature issue. It's reframing "conventional wisdom" as "orthodox privilege". That may or may not be useful.

Ehh, but ownership is important for converting savings into investments and forcing investors to make decisions with skin in the game. Let's not throw those capitalism babies out with the class-conflict bathwater.

It's better to focus one-by-one on comparatively small reforms that each close off a single avenue of rent-seeking and can each be justified on sturdy economic footing by economists with minimal direct relation to he-who-must-not-be-named. This approach is less revolutionary (we know how those go), more propaganda resistant, and generally better.
This is awesome. I was trying to do a weather project a while ago, but couldn't find an API to suit my needs for the life of me. It looks like yours still doesn't have exactly everything I'd want but it still has plenty. Mainly UV index is something I've been trying to find wide historical data for, but it seems like it just might not be out there. I do see you have solar radiation, so I wonder if I could calculate it using that data. But I believe UV index also takes into account things like local air pollution and ozone forecast as well.
I am not. But almost every startup runs the precipice before it makes it. Very few are up and to the right. So there are always tough moments. And among those who are having the tough moments now that I know, a supportive partner is a huge benefit in that moment.
> I'm trying to explain to our IT that we need to match our customers expectations on how to interface with them, not the other way around

That's exactly the problem.

Here is a personal anecdote.

Our customer wanted us to setup a development/test machine. Because the software had some real-time constraints, we had to use a CPU with enough physical cores and a customized Linux distribution, accessible through SSH with a remote desktop, it didn't need direct access to neither our corporate network nor the customer network. Essentially, what we needed was a computer with an internet connection and root access for at least one member of the team.

So we setup to talk with the customer to decide on the various requirements. We forwarded them to our an IT security department, and they essentially replied with "this is not a standard configuration, do it yourself". I ended up making the plan myself, had it checked with some guy at the IT security that happened to be cooperative and after a few back-and-forth on some details to make sure it was fine, I started to set up the server. At the same time, my manager made sure we had a spot to put the computer in the server room, all good. We essentially did it all by ourselves, and the customer was ok, I wouldn't say "happy" because all these exchanges with IT security took way too much time. All that was needed was for the IT guy to plug in the machine and configure the network.

Then it went downhill. They first stated that they couldn't let us have our own computers in the server room, only VMs. It was not only completely inadequate due to the real-time requirements, but the price was absurdly high, like hundreds of euros a month. Plus, it is not what they told us earlier.

So, we insisted. They then sent us someone who was probably an architect of some kind and started to suggest some ridiculously complex architectures with a dedicated router, firewalls, etc... when all we really needed was an internet connection with no special privileges (something the customer has already agreed with). Not only it would have cost thousands just for the study, and who knows how much for the actual setup and maintenance, but it came with annoying restrictions.

In the end, we told the customer we couldn't do it, so they did it themselves and we did the dev and tests we had to do on the customer machine. Needless to say, the customer didn't really appreciate the whole affair, and we got dumped.

What we probably should have done, and I have seen it many times is to get a regular consumer-grade DSL/fiber plan just to work around the IT department.
It's an library that can be used by others.

Noone want use a libray that is not active maintained.

simpleaichat also use other dependencies, i think they are choosed by the developer the same way i would choose his library.

If its an library that implements things that dont change often like string functions this is not important.

But a library connecting to third party apis maintaining status is relevant.
So asking if he need help or if its dead is a fair question.

dead and death are not nice words, but github is a world with many persons that dont speak native english.

Might have even been a negative payoff if you had pursued it more publicly then.
Aside from some internet memery, no one cares too much if you use metric or imperial, but mixing the two is a special kind of accursed.

Metric is more clean. Example: you have a cube of 1 meter, filled halfway with water. You can calculate the volume of water as being 1 * 1 * 0.5 cubic meter. 1 cubic meter is 1000 liter (ho ho, the magic already manifests), so 0.5 cubic meter is 500 liter. I even know the approximate weight is 500kg, as 1 liter of water ≈ 1 kilo.

Doing this in cubic yards/feet + fluidic ounce + pounds is not even in the same universe in terms of elegance or ease-of-use. Swapping the fluidic ounce to liter does not solve that and probably introduces whackier ratios.

That does not mean you are a bad person for using imperial, but stating that "its easy to convert" isn't wholly fair either.
Abstract

The Computers Are Social Actors (CASA) theory is the most important theoretical contribution that has shaped the field of human–computer interaction. The theory states that humans interact with computers as if they are human, and is the cornerstone on which all social human–machine communication (e.g., chatbots, robots, virtual agents) are designed. However, the theory itself dates back to the early 1990s, and, since then, technology and its place in society has evolved and changed drastically. Here we show, via a direct replication of the original study, that participants no longer interact with desktop computers as if they are human. This suggests that the CASA Theory may only work for emergent technology, an important concept that needs to be taken into account when designing and researching human–computer interaction.
You might have missed the first paragraph where they mentioned the gas shortages. We were in south Florida at the same time, and there were three distinct groups: people driving gas guzzling SUVs and trucks who were waiting in line for 4+ hours at the handful of stations which had any gas (some of the stations put up signs when they were out, but many did not hoping you’d buy something else since you were there), people who drove high-mileage cars appropriate for the area who were aware of but not worried about it until next week, and EV / plug-in hybrid drivers who were largely unaffected.

Yes, gas has moderately high energy density but there is no such thing as a global optimum. For example, if you’re concerned about energy usage or mechanical simplicity, diesel beats it; if you aren’t comfortable causing an environmental catastrophe, neither of those are great; etc. The Florida fuel shortage was caused by flooding which is becoming more common thanks to using gas, so past performance is not going to be entirely representative, either.
Former rent-controlled apartment dweller here.

That's not true.

Stabilized units can increase something like 4% a year, up until they hit the threshold that takes them out of stabilization.

Controlled units can increase 2% every two years and historically did not do so from the 90s until a few years ago where increases have been happening and the housing board has advocated on behalf of landlords for additional/emergency increases.

Rent increases can happen completely separate from this process through building improvements and from the late 80s through to the early 2000s, my landlord managed to add $700 onto our controlled rent through really shady/shoddy/fake building improvements.

Growing up about 80% of the units in the building were rent-controlled and when I left there was was only 1 controlled unit left after mine. Nobody in my family, even though they all still live in NYC, wanted to take over the apartment.

Most controlled apartment renters die and have nobody eligible to take them over (an immediate family member has to cohabitate for like 2 years with the renter). The number remaining across all of NYC is exceedingly small, like under 15000. There are ~4 million housing units in NYC. Rent-controlled apartments are true unicorns. But close to 75% are stabilized.

They would do shit like slap a coat of primer on the hallways and add $50/mo in permanent rent to everyone's bill (90 unit building).
> In Feb of 2020 the U.S. committee of foreign affairs was posting documents detailing some of the lies China has told[0], but we chose to trust their data in one of the biggest crisis of our lifetime?

Have you actually read the document you linked to?[1] Are you seriously arguing China is not to be trusted because it "lied to us" about "Xi Jinping being the President of China", about it "lifting its citizens out of poverty and improving their lives", about it "not being a threat to Americans’ way of life"?

Almost every single "lie" listed in there is an assessment, a normative statement/conclusion, something you may agree, disagree, criticize as irrational, reach the opposite assessment etc., but for which the concept of "lying" is simply inappropriate.

[1]
1. Lie: Xi Jinping is the President of China.

2. Lie: The CCP is lifting its citizens out of poverty and improving their lives.

3. Lie: China is a benign power, not interested in territorial expansion.

4. Lie: The CCP is not interested in spreading its digital authoritarian system to other countries.

5. Lie: The CCP is not a threat to Americans’ way of life, including our education system and personal freedoms.

6. Lie: China’s rise is inevitable

7. Lie: China is a champion of multilateralism and the “global south.”

8. Lie: China is a market economy

9. Lie: China remains an unmissable opportunity for businesses.

10.Lie: China is a leader in the response to climate change.
I'll add that pit bulls are banned in many countries because they are dangerous. Sure they are perfectly fine most of the time, but when they decide to attack there is little anyone can do to stop them, and it often results in death of other animals or humans. And sometimes they just attack for the fun of it, there are many documented cases of that.
I mean, yes, you can... But summer squashes (zucchini, yellow squash, etc) and winter squashes (pumpkin, butternut, acorn, spaghetti, etc) are not the same. And it's usually the former that home gardeners are trying to foist off on others.
Sure and so far it was only Wyden that even was allowed to shed some light on what is happening behind the curtain and even then, when IC officials are dragged in front that body that is supposed to be the buck where it all stops, IC representative simply lied ( wiki Clapper for more info ). It is silly that all this is happening in plain sight and we still argue like it is some sort of assumption.
It's a matter of economy-- if you spent all day measuring obvious things you'd never get anything done.

Clearly which things you choose to measure should be a function of how certain you are about them, and how much you stand to lose if you get them wrong.
I would put a hypothetical software engineer's union in the same category as a sports union/actor's guild. Just as an actor has brand recognition and can leverage this or start their own productions, so can a skilled software engineer start their own company/be recognised in their craft. And beyond that, can you imagine what would happen if software engineers decided to strike? It has the potential to have a far greater impact than pretty much any other industrial action. If factory workers down tools for a week, production is delayed. If Google SREs down tools for a week, it might break the internet.

Also amazing to read in the article that this was done as part of a face transplant which is now considered standard care for severe disfigurement instead of experimental! It doesn't feel like all that long ago we were reading about the first successful face transplant ever performed.

Love the patient's attitude about already getting a new face, so why not try the eye too and see how well it works since he'd be doing transplant care regardless. Seems like he completely understands it might not work fully or at all, but that there was stuff to be learned regardless.
> A good technical founder is forgoing

It's easy to make this SWAG on the opportunity cost , but I'm not sure it's true. I've known a lot of technical founders, and probably more than half of them were psychologically incapable of staying in a cushy mid-six comp position at a big company, even when they had the chops. It's part of what drove them to do something else. Others were more driven than technically talented, and sometimes that works well.

The "why be a founder when you can get rich at a FAANG" narrative is a bit too reductive, and misses out that people do these things for a broader range of reasons that EV.

Similarly, I've met technical people who are far stronger than the median FAANG engineer, but would never work there, because they can't self-identify as someone who would take that job. You can just as easily say: "why do you work at save-the-world-little-co for peanuts when you could be making 700k at BigTechCo?"

Sometimes people do these things mostly because that's who they are, or who they see themselves. If you are in a relationship with someone like that, it's part of the package. Totally agree you should have a clear understanding of what that means, going into such a venture.
Or, you can grow tomatoes, watch birds peck a single @#$%^@#$%^@$%^& bite out of each @#$^@#$%^$%^& one, despite any netting, fencing or anything else short of an enclosed green house, throw your hands up in disgust and never touch dirt again.

It's not for everyone, but it certainly worked in my case. ;)
> A judge signing off on a warrant is essentially making a prediction that a party is guilty of something involving the target of the warrant.

At best that's ignoring a lot of nuance, at worst that's just flat-out incorrect.

When a judge signs off on a warrant, they are only saying that they agree with law enforcement that serving the warrant would help move a particular investigation forward, and that the actions they'd need to take to serve the warrant are legally supportable. That's it.
you don’t understand. if they make it a law, it will be worse for you, not better, since as a hardware vendor you carry the burden.

you point out the problem we face today: people in open source typically work at big tech and regularly push ideas that end up costing small hw companies a lot of money. for example rust in the kernel. or over complicated frameworks for the sake of security while lots of hardware does not need security. or features that are important for servers and make those default while most hardware is not a server. and so on.

if open source was primarily managed by small company contributors it would look very different.
Starship has partial funding from NASA, but its only "after delivery" funding. SpaceX has explicitly talked about how they've needed to raise additional private funding to support Starship development because they're developing it simultaneously with Starlink.

I'll also note that NASA's funding for Starship was for a lunar lander, not a launch vehicle, and SpaceX was the cheapest of all the competitors despite developing a launch vehicle as well while the competitors were only developing a lander and planned to use an existing launch vehicle.
Well that's because you're paying a person and a motor vehicle's worth of fuel just to move a bottle of water. If you filled your vehicle full of water, and upgraded to a semi-trailer full of water, then its a lot less than $5 for a bottle of water.

If you launched a Starship with just a single bottle of water it'd become way more than $25,000. Similarly you could make your doordash/postmates bottle of water a lot more expensive if you moved it with a semi-trailer and a team of movers.
One of the "benefits" of traditional society is that there's a stronger gravitational pull towards the orthodox.

e.g. dealing with the majority case deals with 80% of all cases. VS in a more diverse group, the biggest pie slice might only be 20%

The system has a much higher burden of complexity to deal with edge cases.

An argument can be made that Dunbar's number sets a cap on the complexity a system can deal with. External scaffolding like a legal system increases system capacity which then reduces how necessary the orthodox gravity is.
You mean the code?

I mean that looks cool and exciting if it is really small colocated team if one is lead engineer or director of large team of engineers so that they can learn do things that interest them and assign boring/routine work to individuals. Otherwise it would be just another job where people work on assigned JIRA stories and go home in evening.
That sounds about right. My back-of-the-envelope is $2000/mo to colo (not including up-front hardware cost) and $12,000/mo for 2000TB from rsync.net (although you might be able to get a bulk discount).
There are over a dozen AI hardware startups.

It actually is “stomach flu”, because that's the common name for gastroenteritis, even though it's not related to influenza.
"We went to the moon" is a historical claim, not a scientific one. Correspondingly, my belief in it is similar to my belief in the rest of history: it seems like the more difficult lie. Getting everyone involved in faking the moon landing to lie sounds like paying off thousands of tourists to claim they saw an ancient city on a mountain in Peru: impractical.

One thing I did realize, though, the first time I got to play with a Geiger counter, was that this was probably the first time I had actually observed the inverse-square law, after nearly two decades of schooling on the matter.

When I saw this I thought it was a "water is wet" type story, because this telescope is supposed to see further than all the other ones we've made. The gravitational lensing aspect of it makes it cool though.
Squash & Zucchini are amazing in so many recipes. Want a quick curry? Squash + veggies + spices & rice. Want to thicken up a big soup? Add zucchini and let it cook down into nothing but added flavor and thickness.

And if you want to go another route, you can make any vegetable into wine.

I blame cheap carbs and lack of education around cooking; we need to bring back Home Economics classes and teach the new generation.
Hmm I wasn't talking about the values in the array, whether those are pointers or Int or whatever doesn't matter, but the allocation of the array data itself.

If the collection has capacity=2 (2 words) and another element is pushed in, typically you'd double the capacity, allocate new memory (4 words), copy the data over, and deallocate the old data.

If the square brackets in your diagram actually represents another pointer then I think we're on the same page, but otherwise I don't see how the data could be allocated in the same chunk as the header/size/capacity if there can be multiple (potentially mutable) references.

(hopefully the formatting on this works)

ptr -> header
size
capacity
data ptr -> [ val1
val2 ]

Speak for yourself. I can blame Amazon all the live long day.

Having absurd amounts of money and power, such that you can, to a large extent, do what you please doesn't absolve you from considering ethics and being kind. Quite the reverse, in my book. "With great power comes great responsibility" is cliché because it's true.

Every one of the managers and executives at Amazon who make these decisions, sign off on them, and enforce them, while drawing six (or more) figure salaries and, in many cases, working from home themselves are culpable for this, and I can, will, and should blame them for their hypocrisy, lack of empathy, and refusal to treat their employees as human beings equal to themselves.

security is not important for a lot of hardware. people working in networking or security tend to over estimate its importance.
Some people are temperamentally oriented to regulating or policing other people, so all you need do is ensure that the police are themselves policed, and the regulators are themselves regulated, and then you can confidently turn your strength toward the powers greater than mere humanity.

A liberal democracy is better than a police state or an anarchistic state. Neither Mogadishu nor North Korea.
