I'm sorry to hear your pain. A stranger on the Internet is the last person who can help, but as others have implied you probably owe a debt to those close to you, to at least talk quietly with them before you make any decisions?

The one thing that does strike me is the fact that you're reducing everything to a very simplistic and one dimensional viewpoint. Yes AI is coming, but AI is not everything. There will still be love, laughter, games, nature, human interaction, beauty, art, cute cats, crafts, sex, music, dance, culture, food...

Life doesn't stop just because AI arrives. In the same way that it didn't stop when the steam or oil age arrived. Or when we moved from an agricultural age to an industrial age. Our money and our work don't define us, our life defines us. In totality. Our experiences, our learnings, our curiosity, our passion, our relationships. There's so much interesting stuff going on, all the time, if we can only stop and engage with it.

Good luck!

There are some softwares to recognize and track insects given a video feed, I had to search them for a course in uni involving agritech, eg https://github.com/kimbjerge/insectTracking

There are paid SaaS as well

Ninja edit I find agritech in its entirety very interesting, you have startups like constellr that aim to provide insights on your crops with satellite data, and public projects like copernicus that give you access for free to satellitar data of the whole world - and a new scan is done every 5 days -, although satellite resolution still doesn't go under 10/20m I think

Yes, my point is that internally the client could be first obtaining a session token and then requesting a 2FA code, and then submitting both. This means an MITM that only has the code wouldn’t be able to complete the flow.
It's becoming increasingly pointless for the US and UK to litigate this as the time Assange spends in formal custody accrues, mooting any likely potential sentence he'd receive in the US. The WSJ has Assange close to a plea deal that would avoid US custody altogether.
People that want to pass off AI generated images that have no human editing done to the actual composition of the image after generation as art... I have my opinions about that.

You're right, I don't. But I do know there are other locales where they seem to explicitly avoid bridges crossing heavy ocean traffic.
"If that is the case, preserving archaeology in situ may no longer be appropriate."

If you haven't studied archaeology or worked in the field, it is easy to overlook the importance of that last sentence. I can only speak for Germany and some neighbouring countries, but this could change everything.

Our current approach to preservation is generally to dig when the site is threatened but only to dig as deep as the threat to the site will go[0]. So if someone builds a house with a cellar that is x metres deep, we will only dig x metres, and clean and document all finds up to x metres. Even if it looks promising to dig deeper, it is quite usual to let everything that is deeper than x metres remain in the ground, and just document its existence. This does not only conserve limited resources, but it also means that there are archaeological sites for the next generation of archaeologists has something to excavate with newer technologies. These can then reveal information that we would destroy with our current methodology.

However, all of this is contingent on the assumption, that the ground which has been preserving the archaeological finds for the last couple of millennia will continue to do so for another century or two. If this is threatened by micropastics, our current approach is dooming a lot of sites. Though I believe a more proactive approach is probably not even feasible unless public funding increases by an order of magnitude, which is of course highly unlikely.

[0]: there are of course many exceptions to this, like purely scientific excavations. However, the majority of excavations in Germany are done because someone is building something on an archaeological site, and has to employ archaeologists so that the knowledge and artifacts are not lost to the merciless teeth of excavators and the like.
Curious why rotary encoders aren't as good. I'm guessing because you cannot visually see the volume or the potential range based on the state of the interface? (E.g., How much is 1 tick of the rotary encoder? Who knows?)

I've been thinking about using a rotary encoder for lights to deal with this problem specifically (light state being out of sync with a fader/pot). I figure I'll just have software figure out the new state based on the user interaction.

> The article says that 75% of pages printed in home/office desktop is laser (the blue segment of the pie).

Thank you, you're right — this supports the parent commenter's point for the combined business and home markets. I wasn't able to find any data on the breakdown for the home market specifically, but based on my social circle I'd guess COVID/remote work significantly increased home laser purchases.

> …while inkjets are decorative after terrible experience with the first cartridge.

Having bought an inkjet after a two-decade "only laser/LED" rule, tank/CISS ink is making inkjets nice again. Still, I wouldn't recommend an inkjet if you (1) never intend to print photos/images or (2) regularly go more than a month without printing.
> But any preventive measure will have limits as what and how serious an impact it can deal with.

The recent grounding of a large container ship in Baltimore's harbor channel demonstrates that a sufficiently massive berm will stop any ship. What's needed is the will to do something about low-probability but catastrophic events (though large-ship collisions, groundings and fortuitously harmless steering failures are frequent enough that this should not have been dismissed as a low-probability event.)

https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/16/business/evergreen-container-...

In this case, the nearby towers supporting transmission lines across the channel seem to be better-protected against ship collisions than the piers of the bridge.

I think the case against Assange is a bit flimsy. But this argument doesn’t hold. If you hire a hitman and kill someone in the US, you commit a crime in the US. Even if you are not a US citizen of, have never been to the US and don’t work for a US company.

A major postgres contributor (Andres Freund) disagreed with you about pgbench but, yes, feel free to dismiss them just because you found some words on a web page.

I am just a minor PostgreSQL contributor and consultant of no import, but do you seriously think you are superior to PostgreSQL core devs and know more than them about PostgreSQL just because you are a Linux kernel dev? I really do not like your attitude here and your appeal to your own authority when you are not even an authority here.

Pgbench is used heavily both in the development of PostgreSQL and by people who tune PostgreSQL. So it is not obsolete. Maybe it is a bad benchmark and that the PostgreSQL community should stop using it but then you need a stronger argument than just some claim about obsoleteness from 1995. If a PostgreSQL core developer says in 2024 that it is still relevant I think that weighs a bit higher than a claim from 1995.
The benefit is that we can forgo any build or compile step, and just ship code as is. There will be no source maps error to worry about. We will be able to run and debug the exact code that we wrote and not some jumbled transpiled code. We can just have a local type checker that can help with correctness and inline suggestions in our ide.

When I say nothing will be locked down, then that does only mean the type checking itself will not be locked down. Indeed it will not be specified at all. Buuuuut the location of the types in the js syntaxt will 100% be locked down and specified. That's what the proposal is. So there will be limitations on coming up with novel ways to integrate type syntax with the js syntax. But you will of course still be able to make your own compiler if you want this.

Something that I've suspected is that "poverty mentality" may not be the full picture.

It seems to me that one aspect of "poverty mentality" is a refusal to go outside of "the rules" even when doing so would clearly be within the socially acceptable gray area. I'm not talking about someone with privilege selfishly believing that the rules don't apply to them. I mean minor things like putting up a lost cat flier without a permit, ducking into a random restaurant and asking if they have napkins to clean up a spill, or teaching a small yoga class in a public park without a permit. The fear seems to be that if those in authority are given any opportunity to crack down or refuse a request then they will do so.

What I have noticed is that it actually does seem like those in authority are more strict with them than they are for me (note that in this case I'm talking about people who are the same race and in some cases the same gender as me).

I've come to suspect that in addition to "poverty mindset", there may also be some sort of unconscious body language or other indicators that allow people to subconsciously pickup that someone comes from poverty. I don't have any proof of this, it's just something that I've suspected. So I don't know if there would be any value in trying to look at any of these potential cues?

You're making a lot of assumptions here, but that's not surprising coming from someone who's just throwing around vague statements as if they were fragments of an undeniable truth that's bound to leave readers in awe of your wisdom.

I reckon that's the reason why you jump to projecting the fear of being replaceable unto others - especially after it's quite clear from the other comments that I'm not interested in the slightest in being relevant and/or replaced.

I don't care. That's not the point. I've always been a cog in the machine. Even celebrities are. Even tech bros are. AI won't change that or the uniqueness of people, but will change how people perceive their own existence in the world. I know this is all wasted on someone who counters someone on the close verge of suicide with the argument that "at least you can have interracial sex lmao", so I'll just stop here. Cheers
Famously whether free helium is a molecule or not depends on whether you're talking to a physicist or a chemist.

But yeah, people in different countries speak different languages and the same sound, like "no" can mean a negation in English but a possessive in Japanese. And as different fields establish their jargons they often redefine words in different ways. It's just something you have to be aware of.

How extensive safety testing of a hammer should be?

Should there be double blind clinical trials for it’s health impact when caried daily on a tool belt?

For most people, answer will differ depending on what the hammer is made of (iron vs uranium vs radium).

My point here would be that a) we must choose appropriate set of tests as they cost in money/time/opportunities, b) the choice of tests must be influenced by what we know and/or suspect.

If unknown is unknown, then we don’t know that we need a test for it.
The attacker can of course initiate a new login flow (thus getting a session token), but this is rate-limited, would invalidate the previous flow, might alert the user (if the user is logged in on other devices, they get notifications when someone tries to login) and relies on this MITM being picked to send the 2FA code to the user again (they might only use one sender per receiver to thwart this attack, or use IP/fingerprint heuristics to avoid pairing potential attackers & victims together).

No I think money is worthless, it holds no intrinsic value, so I find saving beyond small sums for specific goals a stupid goal. In the medium run (few years), some of the value of your savings is gonna be eroded by inflation.

You're better off investing in various ways or just spend it. No rich person in this planet is rich because they have lots of cash. Most billionaires have very little amounts of it.

All that gives money value is the fact that other people want it. It has a constant demand.

Virtually nobody uses Bitcoins for payments, because it's model and self fulfilling prophecy is that price goes up as interest in the coin increases but the amount is stable (if not even decreases by burning or losing access to wallets). Everybody buys to see price go up further and sell.

I've been in crypto a long time before in 2017 I just concluded it was all speculation and green with no real world use.

You're free to do what you want with your money including speculating in Bitcoin, so far it has been a self fulfilling prophecy of more $ in the long run, I'm also free to see it as nothing else but greed.

The very fact that more advanced crypto currencies get no traction even though they really solve Bitcoin pain points is a clear indication that nobody gives two damns about the technology or uses it.

> What's the point of having a million coroutines when the IO throughput is bounded again?

Because if you did the same thing with a million threads, you’d have all those same problems and more, because (a) threads take up more RAM, (b) threads are more expensive to spawn and tear down, and (c) threads have more registers to save/restore when context switching than coroutines.

The real answer is that you shouldn’t have a million coroutines, and you shouldn’t have a million threads. Doing such a thing is only useful if you have other useful work you can do while you wait on I/O. This is true for web servers (which want to serve other requests, so… maybe one coroutine per active request) and UI’s (which should have a dedicated thread for the UI event loop), but for other applications there’s shockingly little need to actually do async programming in the first place. Parallelism is a well-understood problem and can be used in key places (ie. doing a lot of math that you can easily split into multiple cores), but concurrency is IMO a net negative for most applications that don’t look like a web server.
