I once heard: „The universe is unbelievably huge and unbelievably old so rare events happen all the time.“

I think it meant that even if life started itself accidentally by some unbelievably slim chance, this could happen somewhere else as well simply because the dice are rolled that often.

I think time is the factor here. When you take into account not only the size of the universe but also it‘s age, the chance that life started somewhere, somewhen and ended long ago could be larger than zero, even if we are not able to calculate it.
> It’s worth remembering that there is not one single shred of evidence that life has ever existed anywhere in the observable universe but Earth.

It is hard for me to believe that in the mind boggling vastness of space and time, we are the sole singularity in the history of the universe.
Using this same logic (in an ad absurdum context) we could also say you will never die because no one anywhere has any evidence that you have. That doesn’t falsify your statement, but using ad absurdum shows a statement is not true in every context. I tend to think that shows less conclusion and more investigation may be warranted. That’s how I think of it, but I could be off base and I’m open to being mostly if not entirely wrong.
I’m no shipping expert, but if something is still on a boat today, even under optimal circumstances is it plausible the goods would be in the hands of consumers before Christmas?
Sure, I don’t think that’s lost on anyone. The headline of “life found outside earth” is going to be a big deal.

But I also think we are zeroing in on the inevitable outcome. The math of probability and the simple components to life make it seem pretty likely we’ll get there unless there is something more fundamental that hasn’t been seen yet.

We haven’t reproduced proto-life yet, but we also don’t have millions of years and a planet sized laboratory at our disposal.

The "burden" you talk about is not real. It's just people's attention spans getting shorter and shorter, and as that is normalized, they stop thinking of it as a problem. The burden is in fact on me, a I have to deal with a bunch of dopamine addicts who have lost their ability to reason on the subject.

I call people all the time. They love it! They realize they honestly have forgotten what it's like to be in connection with a human voice when we communicate. Most people around me will admit they hate their smartphones. Somehow I am the only one who has figured out how to exist without one.

I mean really. "Go the extra mile." That's what we call taking 5 seconds to send a text or a phone call now.
You said a "charging only" port, thanks for the clarification. I interpreted that as the physical port, not an android setting to filter communications on the port. I don't think I'd ever trust a random cable even with an OS config setting.

BTW. physical port charging only ports do exist.. Still wouldn't trust 'em w/ random cables though. Other end might deliver too much power if nothing else.

Have a look at the supabase-community claims repo [1]. NOTE: this is for ACL type permissions where you want to provide granular access to a wide range of services.

This stuff is "really cool" but just keep in mind that it is pretty advanced. And exactly as another commenter noted in this thread, it is possible to destroy your performance if you need to join on other tables in an extended version of this kind of RLS policy.

In this repo, the logic is simply "if a claim exists on the JWT then grant access". But in a lot of cases you may want to do something like "if this user is an owner of <row in another table> then grant access". That can require a join to that other table. That logic can get even more complex, for example, you might want to say "allow the user access to this row if they are an owner of the project". So you have to do more work to join from a child table, to a project table, to the user table, etc.

These operations are in addition to any work you might be doing in the actual query that is executed. I have no idea if the query planner can recognize you are doing the same joins in the RLS as the main query and optimize that away. But at any rate, every single policy invocation (on every single query) will be executing this logic.

These are all considerations if you are planning more advanced access policies to your data. If all you need is a binary "can access"/"cannot access" then basic RLS policies may be fine. But once you get into even moderately complex scenarios your policies are likely to balloon in complexity and you'll be writing a fair amount of PL/pgsql and fighting with testing and validating.

I think you could achieve something close to (I haven't sat down and thought about it) O(logN) with sorted arrays? You'd have the downside of inserting things in the middle, but I think that would be lost in cache efficiency elsewhere for many use cases.
This has to be a satirical comment.
> I dare say that no tree data structure beats Eytzinger's method in cache locality

Cache locality is good toward the leaves and bad everywhere else. This is why binary search on a sorted array is actually quite slow.

ORC in Linux, for example, was first prototyped as a sorted array of little structures. It got much faster by adding an auxiliary index giving O(1) access to a credible starting point for a search.

Go on Blind and you'll see it used all the time, along with a flurry of other incomprehensible acronyms that make Silicon Valley the TV show seem more real than ever. Blind is probably the strongest representation of BigCo population on the internet in terms of percentage of users.

"Because this was the very premise of Apple’s OS-based library distribution model: apps compiled for Swift 5 would work with an OS built on Swift 6; apps compiled with Swift 6 would still be able to “backwards-deploy” to an OS built on Swift 5. Without this, Apple couldn’t use Swift in its own public APIs."

How is an app built on Swift 6 runnable on an OS with just Swift 5 runtime? I would have thought developers have to target the minimal Swift (and iOS version) at build time and live with the features available then.

I found that Gatherer had a much more friendly environment. If you take a land-destruction or a counter/permission deck into a game there, folks will just resign when they realize what kind of deck you're playing, and word will get around to not play with you unless you change decks. It's more the kind of environment where you can play a fun, decent, creative deck, and have a good time with other folks doing the same.

Some fraction of people are authoritarian by nature. Most cops have no interest. But the fraction that do, will use any tool they can to find a crime.

This seems to help out newer apps, which otherwise might not be able to break into a market that is dominated by existing players. If Apple wants to encourage new entrants to such markets, then they would want to allow this sort of targeted competition.

That said, it does seem like a pretty niche thing for Apple to have developed and rolled out. My guess is that as an outsider I don't understand this, but there are some pressures internally to change the dynamics of the App Store.

I'd say an easier way to fix this would be to make search actually work in the App Store. I have typed in the exact name of an app and been forced to scroll through tens of apps — many quite unrelated — before reaching the one I was looking for. The brokenness of search really hurts upstarts.
Common people != people who excluded themselves from the economy.
Yet, even the OP who started this thread, while excluding him or herself from the economy still benefits from it, owning a vehicle, getting welfare payments and even receiving medical attention. Compare this to somebody who'd decided not to work in a poor country. You won't see posts on HN from a homeless in Mali, for example, because such a person, at best, would have been preoccupied with survival and would not have time or means for a critique of modern society on an internet forum.

> The reason for this is there's a lot embedded about what 'A', 'C', 'E' mean, and that's different for different people

100% agree - the expectation setting about promos and big bonuses only coming to those who exceed expectations is frankly fine, but it's obvious that the intent of the letter-grade analogy is to imply an expectation (and evoke the associated anxiety) that there's going to be a paternalistic, we're-disappointed-and-you-should-be-too discussion for a 'C'.

LOL, agree. I can't think of one without the other. South Park is absolutely iconic - incredible that they've done what they do for so long with as much consistency in quality.
That may well be true, but that disagreement at least bothers to engage with what the authors were obviously saying, whereas the former posts were an exercise in pedantry. It's actually a point worth bringing up, which is commendable.

Secondarily, I disagree with you a bit I think:

(1) Wheat is an important iron source. Lack of vitamins minerals in modern rice definitely killed a bunch of poor east-Asians who couldn't or didn't know they should supplement their diet more heavily with non-rice foods.

(2) Even if the focus on cereal grains were the main point, an obvious side-suggestion is that cereal grains would not be the only afflicted crop. At a minimum, that would need more study. Some of that study has been done though, and potassium and iron (among others) have significantly declined in other common vegetable crops this century.

(3) A diverse intake of food absolutely does not suffice to reach RDA's of said micros. Just to leave things brief in the context of short interweb comments, (a) how would you hit an RDA of calcium in a day's worth of calories and without additional supplements, (b) is that diet "diverse", and (c) does that plan leave enough budget in your available calories for the other micros you'd like to target? Calcium isn't the only micro which is hard to satisfy with a generic "diverse" or "raw" or "natural" or whatever diet, and in 2000 calories (less as you age or if you're smaller) it's very, very difficult to hit all your micros with any combination of commonly available foods, especially if your strategy isn't to explicitly make sure you hit those RDAs.

> This reads paranoid and hyperbolic.

It does read paranoid, because the whole things should be ridiculous in a sane world. That's part of the problem. This shouldn't even be a concern, but it is.

> I'm gonna needs source...

Unfortunately the source is to read through Oklahoma Statute 40-142, since it's a fairly interwoven and long document that establishes what Alternate Fuel Technicians must do to be certified, what vehicles must be serviced by said technicians, and what the consequences are for violating those requirements. Of note, the statute calls out EVs as falling under the statue requirements, and what your allowed to modify is a (short) list of exceptions, rather than a list of restrictions. There's no single line to point to, as is true for a lot of law stuff.

> Also, nobody is bricking anyone's car. If you're that paranoid about remote access, it's possible to just remove the cell access.

First, please read the last 3 references of my previous comment. There is a clear and present pattern of increased removal of access via remote updates. Furthermore, removing that cell access hampers the car significantly, with no allowed alternative. The option is to let them listen, or watch your infotainment system be effectively paralyzed. I would be happy with an option to simply swap out the infotainment with something else, like I did with my 2002 Honda Civic, but it's their system or nothing. Plus, it takes one trip to the repair shop, which must be a first-party repair shop, since no one else is allowed access to the needed codes to reset the computers, for something to be updated without my consent, and a feature (or the whole car) to be bricked "for your safety". It need not even be that involved. Again, the above train example used geo-fencing to decide when to brick the train. no remote connection needed.

This isn't just a matter of can I hobble a car enough to not abuse me. It's about what part of the car do I really own. Am I allowed to modify it? Are enough of the systems cryptographically secured to, in-practice, prevent me from changing something like a break-pad? Will I need to completely replace the engine computer to swap out the music app?

Right now the answer is that the car isn't mine, and I'm not allowed to make changes. Not in practice, and not in principle.

You piqued my curiosity with your example, though.

> want access to what I pay for

You do not pay for this. You would like to, I’m sure.
There’s a threshold, you need to have been physically present in the US for 50% of the days of the year requirements.

For example if you’re applying for citizenship based on the 5 year rule, then you must’ve been physically present for at least 30 months (913 days to be exact) in those 5 years prior to your application.
18 months (548 days) if you’re applying based on the 3 year rule as a spouse of a US citizen.

So 8 days instead of 12 can mean it’s no big deal or it can mean you’re not eligible if those 4 days make or break your required amount of days physically present in the US.

It’s one of those silly things the government already knows but wants you report anyways.

While the US doesn’t do a passport check before leaving via the airport, airlines automatically send over departure information to CBP, that’s how they are able to show this information in the I-94 on the website.

Obviously entry is also recorded.

I suppose it’s a way to make it easier to filter out ineligible people at the beginning of processing applications without having to delve into the records to verify and in part to see if you’re honest.

Beside the fact that Gemini pro is more comparable to GPT-3.5, one more interesting observation is that even OpenAI themselves was not able (or didn't intend) to deliver a significantly better model than GPT-4 almost over a year. And OpenAI does not seem to hide their own magical "AGI" behind the scene as they've been more focused on efficiency and engineering works reportedly, primarily driven by Sam, rather than developing a new model. I'm reasonably sure that the current transformer itself as an architecture is at its peak and most improvements will be mostly incremental.
I'm sure it works fine, its just another thing to add to your stack (in some sense). Just a few days ago I saw a comment where a business owner was bragging about how his entire business was run on SQL stored procedures. He had made the technical decision to move all business logic into the database using triggers and stored procedures. That is certainly an option. Otherwise, you end up with a mix of business logic between your code and your database. This can cause confusion and can lead to hard-to-debug systems.

In that sense, if you are like the business owner who swears by SQL and making the database the core business-logic layer of your system, then you might even appreciate that Postgrest forces you do move that kind of logic into the database. It is just something to be aware of before you make the decision so you that you aren't surprised when it happens.
