Re: “historically, the world is doing better than ever.”

Yes, that’s true. If you read “Enlightenment Now”, there are tons of wonderful graphs showing life improving. And for almost every country, as it gets richer, it gets happier. But the one exception is the USA. We’ve gotten richer lately, but not happier.

Our government’s decision making ability is messed up. We have an excellent economy, but debt is increasing. Our government has income, but we nearly defaulted on our debt. Healthcare has been a problem for 30+ years.

My state of Texas is run by Republican primary voters, which are an extreme 10% of the population.

We need to end gerrymandering with single-party primaries. (I like jungle primaries with ranked choice voting.) We need popular elections for President (not everything riding on swing states). We need to remove the filibuster. We need to weaken the Speaker’s power, which caused omnibus bills rather than real debate.

I’ve seen good activism and change at the city level. YIMBY’s are making progress. They’re now working at the state level. But it is still hard to see us making the necessary fixes at the federal level. I have horrible worries about what will happen if we don’t fix those very soon.
> And rebasing is absolutely not easy to understand.

Rebasing is very easy to understand if you treat commits as diffs. Commits are stored as snapshots. But operations like rebase and merge act on diffs introduced by the commit (often that action is a 3-way merge). For example, when you drop/delete a commit while rebasing, the change introduced by that commit is removed from all subsequent commits.

Meanwhile, another problem is that you can easily get lost if a rebase is interrupted by a conflict. This would have been easier if you could see the commits as diffs. The easiest way out I found is to do no more than 2 operations per rebase. You can do as many rebases as you wish.
I’d think that the most efficient exchange would be 50/50 with both student and AI answering and asking questions. My opinion is that the only problem with “bad questions” is emotional. They’re actually an incredibly efficient vehicle for identifying weaknesses.

That's very secure. It's also utterly unusable and will result in customers picking another bank, possibly retrieving their deposit through regulators and the court system in some cases because it's easier than going through your impossible account recovery.
Another example of how timing the market is not a good idea, or, “time in the market beats timing the market.”

But why is it considered an invariant, the fact that there aren’t houses where people want houses? Wouldn’t it be extremely possible for people to change where it is they’re willing to live and work as a result of the housing market?

> [...] the notion that a 16-17 year old girl can date a 22 year old boy was not so unusual in the 1970s

I don't know how unusual it is now, but in most of the world now it would be legal. Since laws against things widely seen as immoral tend to be easy to pass I'd guess that means that in most of the world a majority wouldn't have much of a problem with it (unless it was their daughter).

Here's a look at age of consent around the world. This is age of consent where the older person is not in a position of authority over the younger person, such as a teacher.

In most of Europe the age of consent is in the 14-16 range. Only Cypress (17), Ireland (17), Turkey (18), and Vatican City (18) are higher. It's 16 in 20 countries there, 15 in 12 countries, and 14 in 14 countries.

In South America age of consent is 13-16, with 14 being the most common.

In Asia its mostly 16.

In Africa its mostly 16 or 18 or "must be married".

15-18 in Oceania. 16 in most of Australia (17 in South Australia and Tasmania). 16 in New Zealand.

North America is mostly 12-18. 16 in Canada, 16-18 in the US (18 in 11 states, 17 in 6 states, 16 in 33 states and DC).

Mexico is ridiculously complicated and inconsistent...about all you can say with certainty is that if the other person has not yet hit puberty it definitely is not legal. Past that you are into a mess of "it depends".

Most of the rest of North America is either 16 or 18.

That sort of thing drains any enthusiasm I have for the project. Even if it were trained exclusively on old materials, in fact, I would worry about modern footnotes and book introductions tainting the training corpus (ie: by introducing knowledge it should not have).

I do love the idea, though. It it were possible to use ideal training material, it would be close to time-travel.

As it stands, there's a limit to what one can learn from the text it produces. Much value, imo, would come from what the model does not know. Ideally it would be difficult even to have it comprehend user prompts, due to how different English is today.

Swimming pools filter and recirculate water, so a similar system may work for a bathtub. I'm not sure if it's possible to adapt the standard water tubes, but perhaps if the tubes go outside the wall it may be easier.

I also suggest triple checking the floor of the bathroom is perfectly sealed, or the downstairs floor will get a lot of humidity.

Personally I think this is a great write-up. Most people in tech these days appear to look down their nose and say 'oh no, you can't host your own mail server anymore'.

This write-up goes to show that it's not as complex as people seem to think.

I'd be curious to see a follow up from the author to address the other claim of this crowd - that the big mail providers mark you as spam due to no existing reputation on the IP, despite all the processes and policy being correct.

Just to piggy back, people need to be aware how degraded their legal protections have become over the past two decades. For example, mens rea protections are becoming nonexistent, because certain administrations have eroded them and they may disappear if people don't stop voting for the political entities pushing for their erasure. It's an incredibly dangerous situation that most Americans are completely unaware of.

This article missed one huge change in the economy: the shipping container.

The technical term for this is alloparenting, and it should be more well known outside anthropology. It has been extensively studied and I cannot find very much unique about this study, except perhaps the involvement of a child psychologist.

This is a total nonstarter without a browser extension. I know it's in the roadmap, but I'm not willing to even look at this without the extension as the starting point. It's also the part you need to get right before anything else matters.

Right now I use xbrowsersync. It's got major problems, like sometimes (always?) breaking the ability to add bookmarks at all when sync isn't working, having to authenticate with a long-ass sync ID that you can't possibly remember, and not remembering recently-used bookmark folder order. But it works on the browsers I use and can be self-hosted. I'd love an alternative with a better UI that fully integrates with the browser (in my case ungoogled Chromium).

>This is not an uncommon sutuation, is it? The very instituion that was setup to dispense justice, has become inaccessible in most situations for most people.

Because resource constraints exist. The justice is very expensive to run, requiring many highly qualified people. That means for cases where not enough money is at stake, it's not worth the cost (x hours * $300/billable hour for your lawyer, plus the other side's lawyers, plus judge/clerks/paralegals) to peruse justice. The government does step in some cases though, usually in criminal cases.

> It adds 5 seconds

Depends on the bank.

Some make it almost impossible to get past their IVR, which always claims to be able to help you with any issues you might have (as long as the issue is wanting to know your balance and last three transactions).
You seem to be quite focused on latency. Latency is not necessarily something you care about. For coarse grained logistics information, for example, it doesn't really matter if the push notification arrives a few tens or hundreds of milliseconds (or even seconds) later.
So if you don't like the latency aspects I am inclined to ask: "What do you need the low latency for?".
The explanation on the page itself states the following:

Use this pattern when you:
* Need to build a common set of client connectivity features for multiple languages or frameworks.
* Need to offload cross-cutting client connectivity concerns to infrastructure developers or other more specialized teams.
* Need to support cloud or cluster connectivity requirements in a legacy application or an application that is difficult to modify.

This pattern may not be suitable:
* When network request latency is critical.
* When client connectivity features are consumed by a single language.
* When connectivity features cannot be generalized and require deeper integration with the client application.

If you want to question the usefulness of the pattern, it is best to argue against the use-cases in which it is recommended to be used instead of using a scenario the pattern _explicitly_ states it is not meant for (i.e.: low latency).

Now you also had some thoughts on complexity. Regarding what you said: (retries, resiliency, extra logic) it will have to live somewhere. You don't add meaningless complexity for the sake of it after all.
How are you going to add another retry policy to a blob you have no control over otherwise?
Shifting the burden of networking is also an explicit option listed in the "suitable for" section. You can decide where complexity lives after all. If accidental complexity is your issue I am inclined to ask where you see it here in general. Both the ambassador pattern and your proposed alternatives add overhead in terms of complexity somewhere. I'm struggling to see a clear favorite here.

Explicitly regarding your last statement that "[...] the remote service should protect itself against this).":
Retries and Monitoring are things the remote service can't do by itself by definition. Even load balancing/shedding might not be solvable by it depending on the situation. Notice that circuit breaking is not the only thing the ambassador is used for. Network related configuration updates (see section "Context and problem") are something that might not be done by the remote service either.

Classic bookmarks failed for the same reason manually curated directories lost to search engines - because the mnemonic organization doesn't work well at the required scale. Firefox has tags though, and is generally good at the classic bookmark management. You can use it to bookmark a couple hundred sites without getting lost (more or less), especially with extensions.

But what you really need is a google-like, or even better, LLM-powered search for the locally cached text of the pages you bookmark. README for this software mentions fuzzy search, not sure if it's capable enough.

Buying a house in 2019 was one of the top 5 worst decisions in my life
One thing that makes this difficult still is, what if there are two different markets you want to be in.

Time in the market for stocks beats timing the market for stocks.

Time in the market for housing beats timing the market for housing.

But let’s say you have $30k USD. Currently you have this money in stocks, and you are renting an apartment to live in.

Time in the stock market should mean that in 15-20 years, those $30k USD you put in stocks today might grow to be worth a fair bit more.

But at the same time, you are losing out on owning a house. Instead paying rent to someone else.

And in this case it is not possible to know if it would be better to keep the money in stocks and keep renting, or go and get a loan so you can get some little place of your own with the $30k of yours + the $90k or so that a bank will lend you.

Does the water need to come out of the bathtub spigot? If not, you could get a pond pump (designed to pull water from a pond and pour it back in to avoid bugs and algae) and use it with the bathtub or a small portable plastic pool. Hook up the pump so it draws water out of the tub or pool, hang the output hose up above it, and you'll have continually flowing water with minimal waste. The higher the gph rating of the pump, the more intense flow you can achieve.
