Isn't this a false dichotomy? The inverse -- high spending and low savings -- still leads to reinvestment. From business POV whether they get funds via loans or via revenue the money they have to invest in growth is the same.
There's a movement to enshrine the right to grow your own food that is slowly spreading - two states so far, but 3-4 other states are very close. How about working on it in your state?

At least when it comes to human level consciousness, I agree it's something 'more than', but what exactly?

If we look at our advancing world models in things like self driving cars, when would we consider them conscious by our own rules? It has a sensor network that keeps track of it's own internal states. It has external sensors that monitor the external world and adjust it's internal state. The internal state attempts to predict future states and take actions to avoid negative outcomes.

So when does this loop become something we consider consciousness?
My main grip with Peterson is that he brought the worst of European (franco-german) philosophy and pseudoscience to the US.

I despise continental philosophy, it isn't actionable, it's nice if you want tenets, but useless if you want thinking. I despise the Frankfurt school for that reason. Which makes me dislike Peterson even more, because he dislike it too, but use the same kind of continental philosophy techniques, strawmen and overall a very bad critics of it (and mix it with post-structuralism, which, well, makes me believe he at most read Wikipedia pages on the works, and not the works themselves).

But truly, what I hate is him bringing Freud and Jung to the US. Psychoanalysisand 'dream interpretation' already did enough damage in France ffs, why would you bring _that_ to the anglo-saxon world.

His political opinions, I do not care about. I think he was mistreated by academics in his country, mostly because they do not respect him, and because he showed how flawed their system was (like the Bogdanov brothers in France did for physics)
Good concept for a benchtop prototyping apparatus.

If you looked into some of the early cheap Chinese glow-pattern trinkets and musical greeting cards, the IC often looked quite "home made", having a central irregular blob of epoxy covering the fabricated device in the middle of a small square ceramic substrate. With a few not-so-thin wires coming out from under the epoxy, tieing it into the discrete components, if any.

I would imagine at the time the primary requirement was for the component to simply cost less and be way smaller than an alternative stuffed PCB, without any real need for it to be fabricated as one of the actual "chips" off of a silicon wafer.

Depending on what power of "microscope" you are willing to limit yourself to, it might not be as difficult to see microchips (or at least micro IC's) in your forseeable future.

How do you know what job moffkalast has, and why does it matter? This reads like pure snobbery to me.

(Also: moffkalast did not in fact suggest that anything is a solution to a centuries-old problem. "Some common rhetoric about LLMs is too simplistic" is a far cry from "LLMs resolve all the perplexities about human consciousness and thought".)
> I often thought about making some kind of a clothes chooser website that took into account the temperature and a bunch of other factors.

I had a similar idea once upon a time, it'd take in your proposed route and what time you'd be at each point then look up the weather for each point and generate a "ride weather forecast" (since for 80-100 mile rides you can be out for 4-6 hours the weather in the UK can change on a dime) with appropriate clothing.

In the end it was just easier to look up the forecast for each area manually but it'd definitely be something I'd use if it existed.
From vague memory, images of buttons were indeed used, but tables or other tricks were necessary to dynamically adjust container size to its contents, e.g., for internationalization.

>One Russian tank costs the same as 20 German ones.

That's just not true. Not sure what tanks are you referencing, but let's take the "flagships" Russian T-90 and a German Leopard 2, which are in a similar category and have similar capabilities. Their basics models both cost roughly the same.

> That's one reason why Europe and the US cannot win the Ukraine war.

We'll we've been fighting this war for over 2 years now. You don't always need a tank to destroy an another tank. To destroy a 5 mln $ tank you could also use a 500$ drone with an RPG round rigged to it.

These reasons are used mostly for dense projects like apartment blocks, not small homes.

There are, on the other hand, plenty of reasonable objections that arise from the nature of dense housing in certain areas, rather than from people's race/class/etc. Sometimes development projects really do destroy nice lower-middle to middle class communities (consisting of exactly the homes the parent is describing), that people have worked their whole lives to live in (one of the last remnants of the simple version of the American Dream).

Developers are no more rational/benevolent than governments, and therefore not everybody who has opposed any one development project is a villain who is racist/elitist/immoral in comparison to you.

I don't think it does. And there is a pretty big risk that you end up picking up on some quirk ("bias") of your reward model that doesn't reflect reality -- GPT4 preferring longer answers is one such commonly observed bias. AFAIK there is not a great theoretical basis for why we can avoid mode collapse, except empirically the models are good enough to survive some bootstrapping.

Let's do a 5-30-close analysis.

First 5 seconds: I can see that you do automation. This hooks me because I like automated stuff and it sounds like a way to buy time and money.

Next 30 seconds: I see some testimonials, but I don't see what you actually do. There's bright cyan text saying 40+ projects delivered. I click it and it does nothing. I want an example. I see weasel words like "meeting expectations", "clear communication", "commitment to availability".

But you've lost me here, before the close. I don't see what you could do. I know how to automate stuff too, just plug it into pipedream lol. You could give an example of something that would be a complete pain for me to do. We have tons of toil - we've automated the low hanging fruit like onboarding, offboarding, CS ticket tracking, anything we check every day. What else is left that a pro can do?

I think blogs are overdone by freelancers, but it sounds like you'd benefit from one.

Side note of a kinda similar thing happening, forgive me for the sidetrack and side-rant.

PrivatePropery <- was a website in South Africa setup in a market where all real-estate sales was controlled and gate kept by real-estate agents (assisted by Lawyers, various government bodies and even legislation), and its purpose was to allow "Private" individuals to put up their own properties for rent or sale.

Predictably, it eventually got take over by real-estate agents that posed as "private" sellers, and then that caused the entire site to support "Agents" as a concept and here we are. Today, you will hardly ever find a private individual on there and the company makes no effort at all to root them out. The agents just spam all their listings, lie on the metadata for properties, add duplicates, make zero-effort postings and use skew photos, the works.

Another example if you will, AirBnB. Taken over (I exaggerate a bit) by management companies that own many many properties and allocate an "agent" to oversee each property. At least here in South Africa, that is. Might not be that true in other countries, but it's on its way there. Mark my words.

Or more:

Pricecheck <-- Another South African website. Still claims to be a price-comparison website, but is really just like Google shopping, that doesn't do any scraping of prices, but simply "partners" with websites that give it a kickback after a user purchases something.
Show HN: Earthly v0.8 – Auto-Skip
Hi HN

Earthly v0.8 is out[1]. Earthly is an open-source build tool that gives you fast and reproducible builds and can work with your existing CI setup.

This update is our first beta release of Auto-skip, which I'm excited about, even in its current beta form.

Auto-Skip improves build times in monorepos drastically. By leveraging a global cache, it smartly bypasses unchanged parts of the build, enhancing efficiency.

Your feedback has always been a driving force for our development (see below). Thanks for helping shape Earthly.

In fairness, this looks more like a user interface bug than a DRM mechanism. The fan runs regardless of whether the warning light is on.

It's a bit suspicious that older models only showed the warning at power on and they changed it to be more annoying. It's possible that the change was malicious (an intentional dark pattern).

iOS has limited extra settings for notifications that are "time sensitive" and "direct messages", mostly to allow excluding them from notifications summaries and sending them immediately. It doesn't have the same rich/extensive notifications channel support android has.

In practice, apps also abuse the channels and tag things as (at least) direct messages when they are not.

Android is much better in notification config flexibility vs iOS.
Beyond Relooper: Recursive Translation of Unstructured Control Flow
I have always appreciated how Linq's syntax sets the data context first, then the filtering/grouping, and FINALLY selecting what columns should be in the result set. Not only does this make IDE hinting much easier but it's also more logical: "From the set of all left-handed NBA players who are from Europe and shorter than 201 cm, give me their month of birth."

I am surprised that SQL Server hasn't offered Linq syntax as an option for writing queries and stored procedures; could always start such queries with `Using Linq:` prefix so the query engine knows it's not using T-SQL...
The super short tl;d is:

This is a treaty proposed by Russia, and heavily supported by the growing number of dictatorships around the world, such as China, the Arab states, and more recently the growing number of African countries, that will effectively allow them to prosecute anyone who says something bad about their countries under vague "terrorism" charges. If a western country refuses, then they can cut off any legal collaboration for any other more serious crimes. Example: UAE says this French national said something bad about their sheik. France must arrest and hand over that guy because they would be breaking an international treaty otherwise, and may be vulnerable to sanctions and UAE (and others refusal) to cooperate in France's legal investigations, such as economic fraud, terrorism, and such. It's basically a cleverly designed document to enforce and give more power to dictators across their borders, and inside other democratic countries.
This has not been my experience in sports, not even remotely so. I was never once shamed for the sports I sucked at. Quite the opposite my teammates were always there to try to help me out and help me generally improve, even when I was playing shamefully poorly. There is a huge amount of bonding in sports, team and individuals, because you all go through the training together, losses together, and of course also the wins. School sports also have generally divisions: typically varsity, junior varsity, and then intramural. There's something for everybody.

If anything, the hardest part about sports is that you have to be the sort of person who can try their hardest, compete, lose and then use that as motivation to further improve yourself. Do you know how it feels to give something your all, and then fail - all in front of hundreds of people counting on you? And then come back from that? It's not easy. Behind any champion you're going to see a lot of pain and loss that they had to overcome. It's not like you're born a champ and everything is just easy. People of course are not equal, but the struggle is something we all deal with, and sports really helps with that.
The TymeSqr Experiment
The TymeSqr Experiment is a revenue sharing image-board, the first of its kind fair and open media for all.

1. Anyone can buy a spot to publish any image they want
2. The price of a spot doubles each time it is bought, awarding x1.5 to the previous owner +1% on all the future transactions for that spot.
3. Visibility or increasing returns for all exhibitors: always changing, fun and impactful content to discover.

It’s TymeSqr, the Times Square of the Internet.

More choices are always welcome, but the strength of Bandcamp primarily was the zeitgeist and the culture around it, not the tech.

The Bandcamp fridays, the curation, the interviews, the selectors, the IRL presence at Record Fairs or at events like Record Store Day...Considering the strong communal experience it was, the idea of federating (and further distancing) the space between the artists and the audience sounds more like a downgrade.

> I am not talking about replacing Clojure with Common Lisp. Why did you even come up with that strawman??

Because that's what I was talking about in the first place? I was responding directly to the text under the linked video making an ecological appeal to using SBCL over Clojure. Both are very efficient languages, so that particular appeal seems silly.

> The point is that if everyone used more efficient languages, a very large reduction in energy costs could be expected (not just in data centers by the way, every device takes power, and the ridiculously inefficient apps people are running probably cost a lot of energy).

Sure, I agree with that. But that's not what was being talked about. If you have data or sources you can share that show studies that model how much energy could be saved, I'd love to see them.

> It's the same argument as to why you should have a ecofriendly house or whatever: you try to do your part and hope the others will do too.

So don't write load bearing applications in Python. But most code is not load bearing or even executed that often. The energy usage of SBCL vs Clojure is like making the decision to unplug your toaster when you're not using it, and it's not even clear which is more efficient.

> You may be cynic enough to think that makes no difference, but you're just blind to your own unjustified prejudices.

I looked at the data and came to a conclusion. I was talking about choosing one pretty efficient language over another, you were talking about something else.

> Everything you said is a waste of your time.

You have no right to tell me what is a waste of my time. I found it quite interesting, I just wish we could've had a conversation made in good faith instead of whatever this was.
Yeah, Apple should properly write/enforce App Store rules on this. Make marketing notification a separate permission if necessary and be strict about it.

After all, topics like this are why we succumb to their curation and App Store monopoly instead of using more open devices.
I would disagree for the sake of every lazy hearted person out there.

What is this notion that you receive value in perpetuity when you are not being "saddled" with ownership? That is a facade. A downright lie told by salespeople to laypeople. Your SaaS vendor makes money by taking your investment and not offering that much value for it. The idea that they will take your money and somehow give you more money back worth of support or service or anything is hocus pocus. That's just not how business stays in business. When you're on-prem and your admin spends one hour this month, but no hour next month... you are pocketing that hour of productivity. When the vendor pockets the hour, you still get charged for it. The business model of your SaaS vendor is to use the economy of scale to multiply those hours by the number of clients they have, and then keep those hours for themselves.

If you are in business, and your business has requirements, you must meet those requirements. If you cannot afford to meet your requirements, then there are no need for requirements and your business will rightfully cease to function or exist. If you can't do what you came here to do then why are you here? This notion of "feel sorry for the business who can't afford their supply chain" is just downright laughable. That's not how capitalism is supposed to work. Failing business should be replaced by healthy ones. Not strung along in misery indefinitely.

Absolutely! I'm just generally saying that SQL could be more succinct and composable - it's all a combination of project, filter and other primitive operations from relational algebra. SQL is rather verbose, and the question of whether FROM or SELECT should come first is just paint on the object.
