The unofficial name for a post on bluesky. It comes from a combination of "sky" and "tweet". The people running the site don't like that name, which of course only made people embrace it even more.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention the role of petrol in Alberta and hydro power in Quebec. They play a key role to sustaining the economy and social services. It's not just that though.

People are definitely less risk-taking, workaholics, despite having a social safety net, or maybe because of it. It's just maybe less in our culture to "go big or go home". Having a cabin in the woods and free time to live your life is nice.

Maybe because I live in Quebec, and language is definitely a barrier (requires immigrants to be trilingual), but I haven't met many shady people from China or India, on the contrary. My ancestors came here by accident from different countries, taking a random boat in a port, worked hard and made it. I hope we can give that opportunity to others too.

That's a great mentality if you want to get exploited. Your employer doesn't stop thinking about money; you shouldn't either.
That trend has been going on a decades. When I was a kid in the late 80s, I always grabbed the annual Lego catalog from the local toy store. Every year, there were more and more big colorful special-purpose parts that were required to build that one cool object. But there were never enough of them in the boxes to really use them in my own designs.

I'm the co-founder & CTO at www.finetunedb.com - and before launching FinetuneDB, I founded a genai app in the application layer (visus.ai) where I built my own in-house testing toolkit.

No matter if you build or buy, what you want to achieve is the following:

1. Visibility over what's going on in production.
2. Ability to identify both good and bad outputs.
3. Performance measuring (custom evaluations).
4. Feedback loop with fine-tuning.

With those pieces in place, you can start making data-driven decisions.

What we've learned so far is that each application is unique, so if you could tell me more about your app I could share some insights.

You know what they say, people underestimate what they can do in a year and overestimate what they can do in a month. Now switch out "year" and "month" for other respectively shorter timeframes too.
But they aren't collecting 30% from Apple Pay. I assume they only collect juicy data and maybe even charge CC companies for making the service available?

Except all of these third party VPN and DNS type services are literally NSA honeypots and privacy nightmares. I get that you have to do DNS lookups somewhere, but I'm not going to make it ridiculously trivial for a bad actor to scoop up all that data conveniently in a central location.
I think this is one of the disadvantages of things like Star Wars Lego - you have something extremely well known to compare it to, and there's not really a point in rebuilding it, because that's the "best it can be".

Whereas my early sets, focused mainly around City, were nice, but I could build something else "City-like" out of them and not feel it was vastly inferior.

But, I think a bigger part is just kids are different. Some like building and then leave it, others build it and it goes into the pile of Lego quite quickly.

AdGuard Home is amazing! I used PiHole for a time but did run into small issues quite at lot. Mind you nothing serious but things like these are only really useful if they just work.
Adguard Home works without any issues on my Pi setup via docker-compose [1] and it even runs on a second Pi as backup using a cool container called adguardhome-sync [2] to keep their configurations in sync. I am not seeing any ads in my network anymore and it is quite interesting to see how many tracking/ad requests are sent by some devices...

> Canada is the most overrated of all the developed countries

You're also a politically stable energy and resource exporter bang next to a global economic superpower and security guarantor. Oh, and access to two oceans and soon a third.

Canada has plenty of problems. But it's also tremendously blessed.
Both parties feed on fear. Each one tells the world that the other one will ruin everything with their sinister plans.

But the reality is, as always, somewhere in the middle of where the two opposing marketing machines are spewing at one another.
The first time they ran the Clyde's 10K in Georgetown, the course included several blocks of cobblestoned streets. The race flyer for the following year explicitly said that the course included no cobblestoned streets.
New Zealander here: much the same.

New Zealanders definitely hate entrepreneurship - one political party wanted to introduce a wealth tax if you had more than $1 million equity. Median house price in Auckland is just over $1 million! Auckland has about 30% of the population, and house affordability (price compared to income) is similar as bad as Sydney or San Francisco.

I have done okay for myself founding a software business and I notice the tall poppy syndrome from friends. Plus the relentless attack on my hard earned savings by a grifter government. And shit support for businesses to start-up or function (government incentives are mostly negative, and the positive incentives are incredibly badly run).

Fortunately we are building more houses in New Zealand (low single digit percentage growth) but unfortunately immigration is exceeding supply. We need the immigrants because we aren't breeding enough New Zealanders.

My experience of our government healthcare system is mostly positive.

I don't understand it: we should want people to save for their retirement but all the incentives to save are negative. The main taxation incentive is to gear up and borrow money for property. Then that blows up of course.

Even our right leaning government seems to want to consider a capital-gains-tax. The existing taxes screw any reason to invest in the stock market.

I'm whinging: I think it is a good place to live but I feel a comfortable retirement is becoming an unacheivable dream.

>That's like saying humans use gasoline combustion for our biology because we drive cars instead of walking sometimes.

I imagine you are speaking more in terms of molecular biology, but if we zoom out into evolutionary biology this is not such an unreasonable statement if we are talking in terms of the extended phenotype.

Especially as we get closer to a robust hypothesis that humans lack free will on a biochemical level, it really could be that our genes making use of gasoline, because the "we" that we like to think of as making use of it through intellect and choice is more a hallucination (perhaps useful in some way, perhaps mere side effect) than a biological reality.

Humans using petroleum isn't necessarily all that different from how a parasite modifies host behavior as an essential part of its lifecycle, or how a beaver builds a dam to have a much more survivable environment.
Please elaborate with some examples of what legal work you think will be optimized with AI tools.
You hit the nail on the head when it comes to why people don't use IRC anymore. Missing messages because you're not online is simply unacceptable to today's audience, and running a bouncer is too technical for most folks. Using a shared bouncer like IRCCloud isn't feasible since they get abused and the entire provider often gets banned.

I still use IRC (For nearly 30 years now!) and am in a channel that is still highly active with regulars, but I certainly don't fault anybody for not wanting to use it. I run a bouncer not just so I don't lose messages (I leave my computer on 24/7 with mIRC running, so it's not like I'd miss anything), but so I can hide my IP address.

It's actually kind of appalling from a security perspective to expose users' IP addresses. I'm genuinely surprised that the major IRC networks still don't hide them. Sure, it'd break things like DCC, but would prevent DDoS attacks against fellow users.
Sounds like a computer. Why would getting access to one to play around encourage people to buy one? In other words, it sounds like a quantitative difference rather than a qualitative one.
I don't know because I "think different". My Meta Quest 3 "just works" despite my very strong prescription. I can hand it to anybody to do a demo. I appreciate vendors who don't see my disability as a reason to charge me even more money.
While this is true, ARKK has managed to miss whole tech boom it was supposed to catch.

ARKK lost to SP500 over it's existence (2014 - 2024). And all this when not taking into account dividends that are very small for ARKK invested companies relative to SP500.

Compared to simple NASDAQ index fund ARKK is over 100% behind.
This is mainly it - though I do remember as a kid having "The Collection" was always important - your little pile of "special bricks" like headlight bricks, anything printed, etc, that were "rare" and you'd want.
Foreigners are not fully exposed to the local market though, so there's no need to do capital controls. _Income_ is never an issue, as there are taxes to cover that. The main thing being cracked down on is people moving accumulated _wealth_ out.

Also, things have changed _considerably_ since 2016 (as these things tend to do). Indeed, nobody --- foreign or domestic --- needed to document use as long as you stayed within the $50k (you would be asked to if you went above that). Later it became a mandatory question, but wasn't enforced. These days it is enforced rather strictly. If you claim education, you need to provide statements of tuition and housing etc. For tourism there's similar requirements, and usually they limit discretionary spending budgets to ~$10k.
They are also wrong by absolute numbers.
Other benefits of reporting it, other than insurance, is that it makes these kinds of statistics more accurate, and that in the unlikely event that they "accidentally" solve the case, it'll be easier for you to get your stuff back. The latter can happen if they arrest someone for some other reason and find what appears to be a bunch of stolen property or something. It's not likely, but it seems like it'd still be worth reporting the crime.

But you make a good point that a lackluster police response does lower the incidence of reporting crimes, effectively doctoring crime statistics. You'd have to evaluate whether this trend has increased or decreased relative to historical periods when factoring that into any comparison, though.
>I don’t ever recall being banned from anything anywhere.

Depends on how many communities you contribute to and how much I guess

That being said, I don’t get the logic of wanting to be part of a community that actively doesn’t want you.
Bans are not a vote from the comunity, is often an individual or a bot that does the ban

>If I’d get banned from anywhere, I’d just move on. But I am still 100% supportive of banning

Ban=new account

Suspension=wait it out and effectively get a punishment
That's a fair argument, you've honestly swayed me.

Apart from mindfulness practices (which do help, but slowly), I've found the following to be life-changing regarding my lifelong, debilitating social anxiety:

- psychedelic therapy (1-4 times a year, over 6 years, turned me into a functional person in social contexts)

- strong chammomile flower tea (depresses my nervous system to a normal baseline -- this has been the most dramatic way to ease physiological symptoms of anxiety for me)
> dozens of examples of european castles (buildings with tens of rooms and bathrooms, plus huge gardens) whose cost is in the same ballpark as 2 or 3 bedroom houses

Castles are a bit of a scam. The old aristocratic families that still own them, e.g. in Germany, tend to have a state subsidy for maintainance. If you didn't have the luck of being born into those families, you get all of the joys of Medieval engineering twinned to modern historic preservation bureuacracy.
Yes, this user grotesquely underrepresented the scale of chattel slavery in America at the peak of the American slave economy. The original commenter is still completely wrong if you look at the 1860 census.

It is much more likely that the police changed a bit on how they report things than that the population at large changed. The real changes gets lost in the noise of police reporting changes. Police reporting changes not just via bureaucratic decisions but also the feelings of the police force in general because it is the people at the bottom that decides what to report, which is very fickle and can change quickly with reasons like "we catch thieves but they just get released, so we stopped caring".

Covid likely changed crime rates, yes, but it likely changed police reporting rates much more. That goes for all kinds of events. Saying crime is down since police reporting is down is like saying that kids learn more today since they get better grades today than 10 years ago.

Edit: You get much better numbers by asking people if they have been robbed lately, or asking stores how much gets stolen.
>Customers can opt for a longer or shorter passcode

Its incredible to me we're allowing anything shorter than 6 digits. How many of these are going to be 1234 or 4321? I suspect a large number.

If this is for anti-theft I don't see why Apple doesn't implement a better system. I'm always shocked to hear about iphones constantly getting stolen. Apple needs better ways to mark something stolen thus unsalable.

Costs 8x as much annually and doesn't take insurance?

That's not a real option unfortunately.
They can and they do. The Yen is nowhere near the Dollar for global power, and yet they have much more debt than the USA.

The mechanism that gives the US government the power to print more money is the capacity of the US economy to churn out ever more goods and services while absorbing regular price increases.
Backdoors and Breaches, an incident response card game
I'm pretty surprised that a product that's spent this long in development and is being released with such a high price tag would still need to be modified by users for what is arguable the most critical spec. And also I have no idea was 21W and 33W refer to so it seems unlikely the average user will have any idea.

I've been a NextDNS user for years now, and am trying out ControlD (last week) before I commit to switching. NextDNS development seems to have stalled and there are a number of conveniences missing, such as being able to label allowlist entries (ControlD supports this). Also, running the NextDNS app on a device that use a different profile then the one on my home router results in constant issues when the device wakes from sleep (not able to resolve domains for a noticeable amount of time on wake). NextDNS claims this is an Apple issue, but I don't think that's entirely true. Certainly not a problem for other similar services.

I'm seeing ControlD as much more feature-rich and the service is evolving faster. I also personally like the UI a bit more vs NextDNS. Prices are comparable.
I am biased, but I would use a platform and not roll your own solution. You will tend to underestimate the depth of capabilities needed for an eval framework.

Now for solutions, shameless plug here, we are building an open-source platform for experimenting and evaluating complex LLM apps (https://github.com/agenta-ai/agenta). We offer automatic evaluators as well as human annotation capabilities. Currently, we only provide testing before deployment, but we have plans to include post-production evaluations as well.

Other tools I would look at in the space are promptfoo (also open-source, more dev oriented), humanloop (one of the most feature complete tools in the space, enterprise oriented), however more enterprise oriented / costly) and vellum (YC company, more focused towards product teams)
> They will know where she is going to so they can plan to get there.

Let's say that they do and they even manage to show up at LAX 20 minutes before her plane lands. Now what? Honestly. It's not as if they can just hang around at the baggage claim and find her there. What do you think they can do now? Surround the entire airport and stop every single vehicle from leaving until they find the one with her in it?
As a Canadian, living in Southern Ontario, I couldn't agree more with your assessment. Somehow we are ranking #1 on so many charts for quality of life etc. I'm starting to believe these sites and reviews of Canada are paid for.

We were an incredible country before Trudeau took office. His aggressive immigration policy, no economic policy or plan, and creation of infighting on social issues, not tackling any of the core issues we face as a country, until absolutely forced to do so (in this case unlikely re-election).

We need to stop fighting over social issues and start being productive towards a stronger, healthier, and happier Canada. Social issues can't fixed if people can't afford shelter and food.
You do know all that CDKTF does is compile programming language code to JSON (1:1 with Terraform's HCL)?

CDKTF is not accessing the Terraform state directly, it's allowing you to express your configuration that you would normally write in Terraform in a programatic way.
I imagine there are many parties interested in taking over WeWork. Given how much commercial real estate has cratered and the shift towards hybrid work, the business model is promising once they reset their cost base through bankruptcy.

I'll be amazed if Neumann manages to come out on top of this deal given how much incentive Softbank has to stonewall him. They've already been fooled two or three too many times by Neumann.

Daily dry herb vaping and occasional smoking (3 times a week), but very high quality
Thanks! It really depends on your machine.

My mac mini is heavily constrained due to only having 2 proper cores and not much RAM. So the smallest models run best. The quantized tiny runs better than the regular tiny simply due to memory pressure.

So, in my testing on my mac mini it tends to take about 30% more time to process than the audio clip that was recorded. I added a specific warning that lets the user know to reduce their thread count if the processing time takes longer than a specific threshold.

Some of my stream viewers report it being pretty fast though. (much faster than what they see on my mac mini).
I realize this may already be on the roadmap for after open federation, but I would love some sort of "bluesky for the truly paranoid (affectionate)" guide that explained soup to nuts how to participate in the network by running your own PDS and using did:web for identity. An answer to the question: I don't trust plc.directory for my identity and I don't trust the bsky.social PDS to host my data but I want to participate — how do I do that?

I have probably the least understanding of how this part of the protocol operates. Part of that has to do with the new (to me) concepts and the rest is open federation not being in place. I think something like this would be really useful and would prove your bonafides to others that Bluesky PBC is serious about being billionaire-proof.

Congrats on opening up registration!
No mention was ever made of why anyone would want their life filled with so many damn notifications.

Half of these seem more appropriate for email, and email is already set up to handle them with zero configuration (like GitHub).

Twitter, who cares, that’s a time waster.

Home surveillance stuff is also a waste of time. It is basically entirely ineffective, every petty criminal knows to wear a mask and clearance rates are below 15%.

And putting your sleep logs on your website publicly…really!? Seems like this is just data collection as a hobby with no end goal.
My country doesn't have easily accessible concentrates, but I did dry herb vape high quality cannabis and smoke on occasion (maybe 3 times a week)
