There's entire thinktanks dedicated to harassing companies for sourcing materials anywhere near Xiajiang, while there's mountains of proof the US has a for-profit prison industry with incentives to keep it around by providing companies with dirt cheap slave labor and this site just goes "well they broke the law so they deserve it".

Neat
When I delivered pizzas for a large US chain in the 90s, I got paid $5.25/hr when the minimum wage was $5.15/hr, plus I got tips and I also got "wear & tear" of $1.50 per run. Most of the time I made more in tips than I did in pay. When I started I did not have a vehicle and had to use my boss' vehicle but I was able to save up enough to buy a new vehicle after the 1st year of doing it.

It worked well as a part-time job for me at the time because I had no rent to pay and very few other regular expenses.

I don't think the same would be true today.

That happens all the time. E.g., US tax laws.
Of course there is, there are tons of cryptocurrencies that can do this but everyone here hates crypto and throws the baby out with the bathwater and won’t stop parroting “SCAM!” every time they hear the word. It’s too expensive to use on-chain transactions on things like Bitcoin or Ethereum but there are other coins.

You could also use Lightning Network on Bitcoin or any of the Layer 2s on Ethereum like Arbitrum or Optimism. Fees are in the cents range.

Talk about a conflict of interest. A company that pushes llms for legal work says they work better.

This isn't worth the pdf it wasn't printed on.
yes because LLM are not free and still requires an expert to verify the output.
I'm in the queue for a Framework 16, but I still haven't totally decided. I'm typing this on my Framework 13, which I proudly received in the very first batch of Framework 13s to go out for sale.

I have had a combination of good and bad experiences that make me hesitant. A couple months after getting my 13 it suddenly stopped booting. I emailed the company and everyone I talked to also had their name printed on the mainboard. Ultimately the CEO (nrp) instructed me to ship it back and they sent me out a new one. I thought it was a great experience.

Fast forward a couple years and the thing won't turn on unless it's plugged in. Once it's plugged in, it boots up and has a full battery. Very confusing. Turns out it's the BIOS clock battery that's going dead, and the thing is wired in such a way that it can't boot without the clock battery, but the clock battery can only draw power from the wall, not from main battery. And if both go dead, I believe you need to take the laptop apart, physically pull the clock battery out, re-insert it, and put it back together. This means if you are the type of person that leaves you laptop in your backpack (like I am), it can become effectively useless unless you also carry the screwdriver with you.

The customer service here is not so great. Their options are: send them your order date and number and they'll send you a new $5 battery (hurrah - honestly it's easier to just order one from Walmart or Amazon than dig up my order number), or you can ask them to send you a new kit that you can solder onto your mainboard that will allow the clock battery to draw power. They claim it's a bit of a tough soldering job, and while I can solder the odd thing, I didn't want to wreck it attempting to fix their engineering flaw. Supposedly the issue is fixed for boards after the 1st gen.

I think this is quite poor customer service for a design flaw. The correct answer is to let me ship my mainboard back and have them fix it. It's a bit sad to see them get this so wrong. And this gets on to why I'm nervous about the Framework 16. It's another "1st gen" product, with only a 1 year limited warranty. That does not inspire confidence in any way. If the product was inexpensive, that'd be one thing, but it's not. I also buy audio products from a small company that designs and builds equipment in the US, and they offer a 5 year warranty, as well as out of warranty repairs for a reasonable price. To me, that's become the standard for bespoke engineering at a premium price.

I understand Framework can't warranty some parts past the manufacturer's spec easily (though they could certainly figure out how to do it), but the least they could do is cover things like obvious design flaws that they are responsible for.

I love the mission, the product is generally great (great may even be an understatement - for a team this small to do as well as they have is incredible), and the people all seem nice and have their hearts in the right place, but $2200 is too much to spend on a 1st gen laptop with a 1 year warranty.
And if he was more than one person, I've never seen any proof that that more-than-one person group could not also include Hearn, and that part of crafting a Satoshi pseudo-identity was to create alibis for those most likely to be suspected of being especially as those involved were highly familiar with, and created bitcoin in its decentralized-ish form precisely to avoid the fates of those centrally involved with earlier e-money products.

But no, any attempt to investigate the origins of Satoshi will be viciously attacked by the same twenty or so individuals who show up everywhere to defend this modern day hermes trismegistus mystery, which has proved infinitely useful, not to mention fun, to keep propped up.
Another vote for YNAB. It is expensive, but for me it pays for itself in a month.

It can be as open-ended or as detailed as you like. And the tutorials / videos are worth watching, as well.
You're being really obtuse, aren't you. The EU can say "If you do not implement that functionality on all iPhones world-wide, then you are not allowed to sell any iPhone at all in the EU".
We can do curved screens. The theoretical limit is we can cover the whole visual field.
“Apple announces the formation of a new company - Apple EU”.
>It's small, but I wouldn't call it inexistent.

It's inexistent if you check ebay in the EU and probably other markets that are not the US.

If I were in the US I'd consider the Framework, but as it stands, the used parts market and service center network in the EU is sooo much larger for the likes of Lenovo, HP and Dell that makes Framework a tough sell, especially that the former brands have models with much lower price points at similar specs, and since the EU has a lower purchasing power than the US, I doubt they'll explode in popularity here very soon.
This bugs me every time performance comes up. No one is ever concrete, so they can never be wrong.

If Michael Jackson rose from the dead to host the Olympics opening ceremony and there were 2B tweets/second about it, then postgres on a single server isn't going to scale.

A crud app with 5-digit requests/second? It can do that. I'm sure it can do a lot more, but I've only ever played with performance tuning on weak hardware.

Visa is apparently capable of a 5-digit transaction throughput ("more than 65,000")[0] for a sense of what kind of system reaches even that scale. Their average throughput is more like 9k transctions/second[1].

Came here to recommend Actual Budget, also. I have it self-hosted on my Synology, and it just works like a charm. It's very similar to YNAB, so if you're into that style of budgeting, Actual will feel familiar.

The latest version actually supports SimpleFin for integration with U.S. banks. Simplefin costs $1/month, and has been working smoothly for me.
This is my big question as well. As long as I'm able to block at an individual, or even org level, I'm generally okay seeing a feed of those I follow.

Most social media moderation in my experience tends to be heavy handed. Most jokes could be offensive to someone and likely are. I'd prefer to preserve the collective works if George Carlin and Richard Pryor over heavily filtered systems.

Edit: appears to be completely opt in and based on tagging... Wonder about positive filtering by tag now...

Should we just lock prisoners up for life? Or perhaps we should skip that and murder them behind the courthouse after they've been convicted, saving some taxpayer dollars in the process?

Neither is a practical or morally justifiable answer, of course. Other than cases where defendants are sentenced to life without parole, most of the people incarcerated in the United States will eventually be released from prison (whether it be through parole or because their sentence has been completed).

A purely punitive prison system does nothing to prepare prisoners for their eventual release back into society. Which, again, will happen for most prisoners. Even setting aside the moral questions with that approach, you merely increase the odds of re-offending. How is that better for society?
I've seen the word "block" about 20 times since trying out Bluesky. Seems to be a core part of the culture there to aggressively block anyone posting stuff you don't want to see.

On Twitter I just curate who I follow so I don't see annoying stuff and that's worked perfectly fine for me.
Thanks, that's encouraging.
I remember Elon Musk complaining about this, frankly near trivial application of open source intelligence.
I've been really enjoying Monarch money. It's not free, but they offer an introductory discount for Mint users.

I'm not a power user. I used Mint mostly for a window into the current state of my accounts, and to check recent transactions. I find the Monarch UI to be snappier and less laggy than Mint, which makes sense given it seems like Mint was not a very well-funded project at Intuit.

I've toyed around a bit with Monarch's transaction tagging and grouping features and they seem to do what I expect. I've also played with their budgeting feature which is helpful as a way for me to try to keep tabs on my spending per-category month-to-month.

Personally I do prefer the idea of paying for a service like this, but that's because I know it will probably decay if it's not supported monetarily by users. I also prefer my data _not_ be sold to third parties (which Monarch promises.. for now). Unfortunately I suspect the end goal for Monarch is to get acquired by one of the FinTech giants which probably sadly means it sees a similar fate to Mint down the road.
i would certainly not want, anyone in a prison situation to handle food or critical dual purpose items, at any point during manufacture.

to wit; how often is prison product tested or monitored for tampering or expectorative adulterations ?
FWIW, I also have an Amex with YNAB and have not had any issues with it in the past year.
Source code is a bunch of lambda functions to extract content from emails, then present that information in blog posts.

There are quite a few moving parts -

1. Route 53/AWS SES rules to handle Inbound emails

2. S3, Lambdas, and Step Functions to process emails into json objects

3. Cloudfront distro and behaviors to handle content delivery

4. Aws Cognito to handle login

This probably needs an accompanying blog series just to explain how everything works with each other.

If you’re interested, I’ve written a bit about it on https://pretzelbox.cc/blog which dogfoods the above product.

If there’s genuine interest, I’ll be happy to open source it.

One, as long as it’s a land with the rule of law, it can’t. Two, this would constitute starting a trade war over…browser engines. Good luck getting people who depend on popular votes to back you up on that.
I understand why the use of sbrk is unfortunate but what's wrong with the representation? Are there better ones?
Interesting problem space-- I have a culture jamming legal theory this might work for:

What if you had a $99/mo pro-se legal service that does two things, 1) teaches you how to move all of your assets into secure vehicles. 2) At the same time it lets you conduct your own defense pro-se-- but the point is not to win, it's just to jam the system. If you signal to the opposing party that you're legally bankrupt and then you just file motion after motion and make it as excruciating as possible for them they might just say nevermind when they realize it's gonna take them 5 years to get through appeals process.

It's true lawyers don't want to give up their legal documents for a template service-- but honestly just going to the court house and ingesting tons of filings might do the trick. With that strategy in mind you don't really need GREAT documents or legal theory anyway. Just docs that comply with court filing requirements. Yeah we're def gonna need to deposition your housekeepers daughters at $400/h and if you have a problem with that I would be happy to have a hearing about it. If enough people did this is would basically bring the legal system to a standstill and give power back to the people.

RIP Aaron Swartz who died fighting for these issues :'(
I'm curious if there's (still?) a patent on TrackPoint-like devices.

(This is a tangent question. IIUC from that community thread, people are considering adaptive real ThinkPad keyboards to work in a Framework.)

Good. NYCHA, and NYC in general is a massive black hole of public funds. People have been blaming the migrant buses for the latest budget crisis, but they're just the straw that broke them camel's back. We need to take a close look at how the money is being spent at all branches.
Given the recent legal cases where lawyers did use Chat GPT to do research and help write their brief did not go very well I'm not sold that on all the optimism that's here in the comments.
Thanks, good to hear you can make this path work out even somewhere expensive like London.
I thought that is why you might have required it, but on the other hand for malicious actors it's trivial to get a phone number unrelated to them, while legitimate users are giving up their only phone number, possibly exposing it to scammers and robocalls (in case of a breach), or having something linking to their real identity.

Anyway, hoping you revisit this one day and that's also when I will try your app again. Wishing you luck!
But that's the thing: All that is nice on paper. Of course the relational nature is nice. Of course the disk representation is nice. But I never feel like that's worth the trouble day in day out. The costs, the mystery box of performance, the insane statements, the extra hardware, the updates, the strange data types, the box of tricks everyone needs to make them behave. But I've been made aware that our usecases suck, so I'll attribute most to that.
Or a LLM that helps you spend less. Imagine a LLM that goes over all your spending, knows all the current laws, benefits, organizations, promotional campaigns, and suggests (or even executes) things like changing electricity provider, insurance provider, buying stuff in bulk from a different shop that you get for 4x the price at your local store, etc.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "virtual theater", but if you have an app that allows you to freely move and resize a virtual screen in a black "void", the movie-watching experience is exceptional, including on a Quest 2 or 3.

I recommend using the popular SkyBox player.
Name? AFAIK those things didn't have names. The 70s and 80s were filled with huge insect plagues on Asia, Africa and South America that disrupted the agriculture of several countries.
Someone referenced a documentary claiming prison system is modern day slavery. You refuted their claims pulled from said documentary with standard prison industrial complex rhetoric, which is completely unfounded and not backed by any kind of real-world data, especially in the US. Try digging in a bit. It’s irrelevant if it’s a fringe opinion.
I think it's important context that gets lost in so many tech conversations. Software engineering is a vast field covering almost every domain of human endeavor and they're all going to have different constraints. Some are technical and some are social. If you're working with 30 other engineers trying to marshal and unmarshal the same set of data for different purposes, it's really easy to tell them all "use SQL" instead of "here's the binary format invented by the guy who quit 7 years ago" even if that binary format was technically superior.
We'll see! The history of funded companies popularizing open protocols is not without precedent. I'm inspired by Netscape, which was the VC-backed company that made the web happen.
Our CEO believes LLMs are a fad, so there's nothing really strategic about it in the company's roadmap, but I was able to assemble a skunkworks team of enthusiasts who integrated ChatGPT into one of our eLearning products. It allows a course author to improve writing, it makes suggestions about content, etc. Technologically, it's nothing special, just a bunch of pre-made prompts. The reception was kind of lukewarm because we were too late with it (due to decision makers not caring much about it and delaying the release for no reason) - by the time we rolled it out, you couldn't already impress anyone with it. Plus, there's almost no marketing about it. Currently, the main users of the integration are our own marketing and sales teams. It was my first experience of this sort (assemble a team, introduce a new feature from scratch - I was just an ordinary engineer before) but the ending was kind of... anticlimactic.
You can migrate your account between instances and take your followers and follows with you. Server shutdowns are rare, since administrators tend to proactively limit registrations when activity starts to be a financial burden. Avoiding the growth-at-all-costs mindset means that instances can stay sustainable.
Optery founder here. If you're taking a look at Mozilla Monitor, I recommend taking a look at Optery too:

- Optery's Ultimate plan covers 300+ data broker sites and offers Unlimited Custom Removals providing the most comprehensive coverage in the industry. Optery has a variety of plans for different coverage needs (Free, Paid, Family, Business), and the ability to pause or cancel a subscription at any time.

- Mozilla Monitor Plus is powered by OneRep, which partners with data brokers through its affiliate program: https://imgur.com/a/juSC66b. This is a fine line most data removal services do not cross. Optery's removals are proprietary and are not powered by any other company.

- Optery (YC W22) was awarded the Fast Company Next Big Things in Tech in 2023 and PCMag.com Editor's Choice award in 2022 and 2023, over DeleteMe, Kanary, Incogni, IDX Privacy, etc.

- Optery has completed its SOC 2, Type II security certification. To our knowledge, DeleteMe is the only other data removal service with this certification. This is probably the most overlooked attribute when selecting a data removal service.
I think the other way is going to happen, being a lawyer will now be a lot more expensive requiring some servers doing AI inference, developers, and 3 party services..
It’s an ok way to do it. And I’ve been subscribed (but not using it) for 2 years.

But until Firefox Relay supports custom domains, I am of the opinion that it’s not ideal.
> tested to the same drop survival standards as most other high end 15-16” notebooks.

My impression from my (very breef) test is that replaceable display frame is compromising display integrity. I also do not like how motherboard is accessed from top lid, rather then bottom lid. In many laptops (Sky Lake Dell XPS 13) keyboard is screwed together with motherboard, and is protecting motherboard a bit. Removable bottom lid provides crash zone, and bends independently from motherboard, on Framework it sends every stress directly into motherboard.

Form factor of an "ultrabook" has been around for more than decade (Mac, XPS 13, Zenbooks..). People know tradeoffs and what to expect.

This is a new form factor. If its rudged, perhaps provide some videos with crash tests.
I think it’s more accurate to think of lawyers as a guild. Likewise doctors, accountants, plumbers, and electricians.
Will be interesting to see how the media plays this, given the pretty unforgiving coverage of Elon Musk complaining about the same thing.
I have a base m1 mini also. Ever since I bought it I've only used it hooked up to my 4K TV in my living room. I use it all day long. I have it connected to an external hard drive or two sometimes. It's connected to the network using the gigabit ethernet. I don't notice any slowdowns with it and I've always been on the beta updates for the operating system. I use edge as my browser. Sometimes I mess around with xcode or other background stuff with no issue. Sometimes I'll mess around with games on the device or mess around with emulators or DosBox. Usually I access my main PC using parsec over the local network and I'll use my Windows PC that way or I'll play games on it sometimes on the big TV. I'm tempted to upgrade but not all that much. Basically this m1 Mac mini would have to break for me to need to want to upgrade it. But when I do have to replace it it will be another completely silent system. I love how the fan has never turned on even once.
But corporate America recognizes that you're a human being; most of popular culture is doing its best to make everyone horny or otherwise excited all the time. The fact that we're not served explicit content is a blessing IMHO.

I realize this is a bit of a different take, it does seem related though. At the same time I get that you'd like to do what you want with your device and that makes sense too.

Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Contributor

Which one of these is the most convenient and portable to use?

Do you use secret management services for work only, or do you use them in your personal projects too?
