> One can be religious insofar as tradition is concerned and ignore the spiritual angle completely

There's a third aspect to it, which is following the spiritual aspect of it while not actually believing in a creator/actual divine entity (see for example Christian atheism^1).

I go regularly (albeit less so in the past few years, since covid made me lose the habit) to church while having developed my belief into only a "metaphorical god" and the idea of Christ. The main thing I get from it is the spiritual aspect of it. It feels nice being into that kind of meditative space, into the idea of unconditional love, endless forgiveness, absolute empathy.

My experience of practicing christians is that they're on a spectrum when it comes to how literally they believe, from not at all, to metaphorical at every level, to people who actually think there's a grey-bearded guy in the clouds. Those last ones are not marginal by any means and constitute the core of the hardcore flock (it's much easier to wake up on a sunday morning (or even in the week) if you think that you punishment for missing mass is hell).

Well, the thing you should show is whether a phone allows you to better learn or socialize than without a phone.
Worse than that videos shared with you are reencoded to 1080p with crap bitrate. IIRC the JSON sidecar is also missing for these. Doesn't matter if you save them to your library. You can watch them in original quality and see all of the metadata on photos.google.com but they don't get taken out.
I was curious as to why an algorithmic trading firm is sponsoring this. What's in it for them?
No form of procrastination feels more productive than questing for a more perfect todo list app.
Surely you jest! There's a ton of legacy workloads that rely on NFS.
It's definitely harder to socialize when all your classmates have smartphones and you don't, but you mostly need access to personal messaging apps. TikTok or a Facebook/Twitter feed full of people you don't know IRL are where the problems come from and they aren't needed. If only there was a way of splitting those out into separate apps.

Basically we need more things like Facebook's push a few years ago to show more personal updates from close friends and less mass-shared political posts from organizations.

Oh sure, but the "haha the US isn't even a third world country with its train system" people already are ignoring scale/density when they're laughing at the US rail systems. I'm past even bothering dealing with that bad faith take.

My curiosity is if the US has just traded off having better passenger rail for better freight rail, and if that's maybe a somewhat environmentally justified choice. How much more freight is going by truck in Europe because of the bias towards rail for passengers, and how does that compare to US people traveling by car when train would be better?

> Why not set a bounty to improve Prettier instead of building a competing project just to increase the motivation to improve Prettier?

That's a good question. But a new, Rust (or whatever is fast) version of prettier is effectively Prettier. If it has the same config, switches, and defaults, it's Prettier.

The value of prettier is that it's a standard most of JS/TS agrees on, saving discussions for more important topics. The code that gets us there is a side effect.
Yes and no. ExpertsExchange was notable for having "walled" responses and was similar to StackOverflow. In fact, I remember when StackOverflow was launched, it was compared to expertsexchange but "open".

It is time to move from centralized services to something more distributed and "micro transaction based". I know a lot of people in HN will dislike this butn All the ones you mentioned (Q&A forum, News link + commenting aggregator, Git Hosting + Approval Flow + Wiki + Ticketing system ) can and should be implemented in a completely distributed manner: (using Kademilla/Bittorrent technologies, IPFS and CryptoTokens for paying micro transactions).

Going 100% distributed is the only way these sort of things are going to stay "open" and free of corporate greed (we have seen time and time again, original founders may start the project with good intentions, but in the long term, the product gets sold and bean counters take the lead).

This battle will not be won by anyone other than the people using these tools to their advantage to pump and dump.

The genie is long out of the box now. Future iterations of LLMs will not get worse but better. And already now, something like GPT-4 easily bypasses human detection if the output is inherently controlled by a human.

Bad AI content can be detected super easily. ChatGPT is limited by its system prompts and it will always take the “least effort” way to answering your question, be it a question or an instruction to write an article. Repetition is a massive issue with 3.5 and Google can scout that out blindfolded.

If you want to mess with your own reputation then by all means use AI. The average internet user will not be any wiser about it. I would be very surprised if Google took action against these types of campaigns based on user feedback as opposed to an implementation in their own algorithms.
That doesn't mean it's fast
Off topic but you have my exact name (first and last). I wonder what the chances are on that.
It’s cool to see how certain prompts and themes stay relatively stable, like the gnome example. But then “cat lecturing mice” quickly goes off the rails into weird surreal sloth banana territory.

My best guess to try to explain this would be that “gnome + art style + mushroom” will draw from a lot more concrete examples in the training data, whereas the AI is forced to reach a bit wider to try to concoct some image for the weird scenario given in the cat example.
Other day i was trying out Azure SQL for storing vector DB. After a POC i was able to get results on sub 1 second to get the results with 2 core serverless instance. It begs me to reconsider does dedicated Vector db really worth it ?

Some thoughts. About the bacon, try to avoid frying it too hard. In general heavily fried food contain acyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are inflammatory and carcinogenic through increased oxidative stress. With that said, I very lightly fry my eggs and don't feel negative effects. With supplements like Ashwaghanda and St. Johns Wort make sure to check that they don't have an interaction with medication - these two in particular tend to interact widely. Indeed proper water intake is hugely important. And as for walking, even 7000 steps per day can be considered light-medium exercise.
You can make it pretty darn robust! OCaml compiles very quickly and has a good type system. Rust is slow due to LLVM, macros, and the compilation unit being the entire crate. None of these are requirements for a good type system
What's the hardest real-life problem you solved with GPT-4?
Cool idea! I made one with the starting prompt "an artificial intelligence painting a picture of itself": https://dalle.party/?party=wszvbrOx

It consistently shows a robot painting on a canvas. The first 4 are paintings of robots, the next 3 are galaxies, and the final 2 are landscapes.
Most F1000s use ESXi by default. You can concentrate only on direct sales to F1000s and make more than enough revenue.

Look at Zscaler and Crowdstrike for examples - both follow this strategy.

As a business, you optimize for Net Revenue after Cost of Operation. It's always good to drop customers if it costs more to support them than the revenue you get.
You won't find them in the city haha. That said, Catalonia is a very beautiful place and I encourage you to visit its rural landscapes, like Montserrat, Rupit and Viladrau (and of course, all of the Pyrenees)! Also in the coast I love Tossa de Mar and Sant Martí d'Empúries, near L'Escala.

One scenario I've seen this work differently in is a regulated market where the technical documentation is part of submission etc. - so if it's not right, you don't have a product.

In this case they likely work for the RA/QA team, and likely can hold engineers accountable for some things, and the engineering team will definitely feel heat from above if they are holding up or derailing the documentation and labelling efforts.

In this scenario I've seen many engineers genuinely help and value the tech writers - even if only out of fear of becoming responsible for the docs.
That’s the thing. Can’t do it. Unless it was released on physical media.

I really wanted to watch it again considering severance s2 has been in limbo for ages.
Careful what you wish for. It takes a fairly totalitarian state to live without "misinformation", most thinkers fear a Ministry of Misinformation more than an armed citizenry.

Doomers conveniently forget that AI has tremendous sorting powers (why else would it spook google into change) so it can easily sort through the information traffic jam/muck how you want so long as it hasn't been deliberately misaligned by MoM away from the user. That kind of unfavorable misinforming over the future capabilities AI would not be tolerated by an AI MoM.
The problem is the freakin' advertising-based monetization model. It makes kids the product instead of the customer. No wonder they turn into addicts.
The East Asian economic miracles are all heavily export dependent. Part of the pillar of this industrial strategy is to heavily support emerging technologies, because they can then gain economies of scale, first mover knowledge, etc. This has happened before, with technologies like plasma screens, LCDs and LEDs, and is now happening in China with solar panels and electric cars. They have developed such advanced manufacturing capabilities so quickly and are now almost insurmountable market leaders, or at least major competitors.

Railways are also part of this strategy. China, Japan and Korea all export railway products from high speed rail to subways to monorails, and so in this context rubber tired metros are another niche technology to get an edge in. Note that this strategy doesn't always work; no one outside of these countries is very interested in maglev trains, for example.

The other part of this is development finance. Countries that do not have know-how with big infrastructure projects often look to international institutions to build projects and secure financing. And part of the deal is that if you take French money you must spend it on French suppliers, and this is true for basically any country doing this kind of lending, so basically the lender is getting both interest payments and spending towards its economy. The Chinese and Japanese compete a lot for railway projects in particular; Japan built the Taiwanese HSR and the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City metros, China is currently building high speed rail in Thailand and Laos, etc.

Using people as a means to an end qualifies here and is generally considered unethical.
I've used Pulumi for professional projects and personal projects, and I think it's fantastic. You can write your code in pretty much any major language (professionally, i use Python, personally I use Go), and you get the same output. Running the Pulumi program itself couldn't be simpler.

My one critique is sort of weird in the sense that Pulumi supports way more than its public documentation says. I hope they up their documentation game in the future, because there are a lot of things that I had to go digging through source code to find out how to implement. But that's really a minor nitpick in the grand scheme of things. Big Pulumi fan here.
> Conclusion? Make your own backup.

This is like saying it’s easier to eat healthy if you cook your own meals using fresh ingredients. We know that backups are best if you carefully and regularly make and test them but we also know that very few people diligently do so. There’s some room for automation there but you’re generally right back in the risk of bugs causing it to silently fail & someone busy noticing until it’s too late.

>ill-gotten goods

I reject that there's such a thing as "ill-gotten bits".

>So Bob lied, and you know Bob lied, and you benefit from Bob lying, so it's unethical.

If unethicality is transitive like this then the concept of what's ethical or unethical dissolves into meaninglessness. Everyone's actions affect everyone else in form or another. How many murders and thefts am I currently indirectly benefiting from just by existing, or by using this computer? Even if I count just the ones I know about and the ones I can infer, I think the number is too large to care about.

I'm willing to concede that Bob's behavior is unethical, but not that "my" behavior is, by transitivity.
I hope to stay under the radar of the app store police :D
Definitely some wisdom here... the "headline" salary number for a developer looks great on paper, but once you factor in hours that are likely 9-5 as an absolute minimum + various out of hours stuff for release + support + being on hook/on-call for anything that explodes at any times, and all generally pretty inflexible / driven by _other people's_ events, messups, etc, it's not that great, or it's like all downsides of being a proprietor, but with upside capped to your salary.
I’m very interested in the “receipts” (meaning: the story and the paper trail to verify the story) if you’re able to share
Would you please add an OpenStreetMap attribution[0]? It looks like you're using OSM data via OpenRailwayMap (which also requires its own attribution[1]) and Carto basemaps (which I'm not terribly familiar with, but at first glance appear to be based on OSM data[2])---each of which detail their respective attribution requirements.

Leaflet makes this incredibly simple; just add the suggested text to the attribution field when you initialize the layers:

L.tileLayer('https://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_all/{z}/{x}/{y}{r}.png', {
maxZoom: 19,
attribution: '' // here!
}).addTo(map);
var railwayOverlay = L.tileLayer('https://{s}.tiles.openrailwaymap.org/standard/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
attribution: '', // and here!
}).addTo(map);

> Does it even matter?

Yes, I think to me it does. How much of my money is “wasted” (which we all might define differently) does matter to me.

There’s also a factor of what I receive from it. In your bread analogy, there is an exchange of money for a good (bread) received.
In a donation, like with OpenCV, there is no guarantee of a good received, so I care more about how my dollars are “spent” getting to the recipient. I (and many others) look at the filings of charity to understand how much goes to administrative overhead, for the same reason.

> When I pay for bread with my credit card, a large portion of the price of the bread goes to the credit card company and the payment processor.

Unless you are buying a single slice of bread, a large portion does not go to the credit card company. About 3% does, 5% lower than IGG fees, just like with IGG. A lot of food places around me offer a 3-5% discount for using cash and I generally choose that option if I have cash on me. People have long cared about what “middleman” is scraping money of the top of their spend.

Where is your cutoff for percent taken by the processor?

Nice! Minor nits:

* It takes me out of the immersion a bit when planes move after having been drawn. It would feel more realistic if the blips were "painted" by the sweep and then static until the next sweep.

* To make it a bit more realistic you could extrapolate from previous data points so each plane would make consistent progress from sweep to sweep.

Yes Pulumi is nice. Having the power of Typescript types (if you choose Typescript) is amazing.

The thing is I haven't used Terraform extensively so I can't compare.

The main downsides I found are probably IaC downsides in general. Such as scenarios where you need to click-ops to repair because only some of the infra was deployed. I think the clouds need to make their stuff IaC friendly to avoid this though.

My main fear is taking on that dependency on something newer. With Terraform if the company goes bust, the community could take over, and probably it would become an Apache project. Maybe Pulumi would too. It is not good enough for it to be open source. It needs to keep up with the daily changes in the cloud.

USB-C is a superset of USB-A/B, so you can use exactly the same simple protocol: A short of the D+ and D- pins, per USB Battery Charging.

For a USB-C sink, you don't even need any resistors beyond that, let alone USB-PD. For a USB-C source to be able to charge a legacy USB-B sink, all you need is a single 56 kOhm resistor.
That's quite genius, I wonder whether Apple's I/O and Radio APIs will let me do this on mobile...
