While this seems like a great tool for the lawyers, as a client I would reject any invoice generated by this tool for lack of detail. (It's not an issue with the tool in principle, so much as the output it currently generates.)

Lawyers have to track their time in short increments and give detailed descriptions for what they did with that time because they charge obscenely high rates and many lawyers have a history of padding their bills. If their rates were lower, they could get away with generic descriptions and less granular timekeeping.

For example, accounting firms can, and frequently do, get away with stating "Preparation of [x] tax return" as the only work detail on an invoice, because they charge a fraction of what law firms charge. I recently approved a $75k invoice for "Preparation of FY tax provision" without any pushback because I know the firm spent hundreds of hours on it and probably swallowed a bit of billable time.

Thank you for your kind remarks. As for the need for more videos on the "approach" of solving problems, that really resonates with me. I always wanted to learn how those mathematicians "see" matrices for example, how they "think" of what to do in the first place, etc.

> If you are poor and not taking advantage of the 50% off public transit fares, then I think this would be doing you a favor.

In our free society, which prizes liberty above all else, government and you don't get to decide what others should do; they get to decide for themselves. And that absolutely shouldn't depend on income or wealth.
The trick to reading the Silmarillion is to not read it from front to back, but first part 3 (Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age), then part 2 (Akallabeth) and only then part 1 (Quenta Silmarillion). Part 3 is a super condensed version of LOTR.
Right, but it's certainly easier for people who might not even know what "API" stands for, and that's quite nifty. As far as self-hosted frontends go, I can personally recommend SillyTavern[1] in the browser, ChatterUI[2] on mobile, and ShellGPT[3] for CLI. LobeChat looks pretty cool, though! I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks for the support. Communication models definitely come in waves. Chat and the ability to instantly access someone no matter where they were was an extremely powerful tool when it came out. Now that its being overladen with all types of communication, it feels like people are ready for the next wave and it seems like feeds are definitely on the rise with struct.ai as well. Agree on chat being more an ephemeral form of communication and interesting to think about if we should start treating it as such.
Isn't it mostly obvious? Offline transactions are needed whenever a transaction is made without access to the internet. Like a train in the middle of nowhere or a flight.

Typically the POS just accepts the card, and then when Internet access is restored, sends them all out. So the merchant takes the risk of a customer using a bad card. But with smart functionality in the card, the card itself could make a determination of whether the payment should be approved.
Lots of failures are just human and political. Sure technology can obscure the obvious or highlight the unlikely, but it's just not that commonly influential (at least not yet, the day will come).

The US even warned Russia of the attack in Moscow, but it was treated as political interference. That was almost certainly signals intelligence ignored.

> If you’re poor, nobody is giving you a car, insurance, parking, fuel, and maintenance for “fairness”.

Nobody is saying to give it to them. But fairness is that they have equal access to the roads. The idea that wealthy people have more access to public roads is really an abomination in the US.

You're free to suggest public transit, but they need to be free to make their own choices, completely disregarding what you - incredibly - think they should do.

I wonder if other parents waiting till they can offer the kids more creates pressure. Not only on the parents but the kids as well. I frequently couldn't get what I wanted as a kid, but that was the norm and in fact several kids I went to school with were clearly poorer. However, if I look at kids around me today, they have seemingly everything they could want. If I imagined the majority of the kids around me had had as much stuff, fancy vacations, expensive after-school activities etc. and I had what I had in actuality I would have felt much poorer. Just the after-school activities alone would ruin everything. My friends and family's kids now are always out at clubs and classes and that's where they see their friends. This would put poorer kids at a disadvantage.
Yep! Sorry.
Real aid must be provided with no strings attached.

Much of this so-called "aid" comes with the condition that it be spent in the US. This prevents us from developing our own weapons, selling them to whomever we want, and diversifying our sources of military supplies.

In addition, the US provides much more "aid" to our enemies.

Also, part of this "aid" is used to financially bribe our generals. Essentially making them American "Foreign Agents of Influence" in the spirit of FARA[1], not as literal spies. Unfortrunatelly we lack legislation like FARA, so it's still legal here.

In the indieweb community they like to do this and have invented the term "POSSE" for it (publish on own site, syndecate elsewhere). I like the style - the source of truth is something you own, and there's some tools they've made to automate it.

Anybody who argues that "we're all going to die" is, from where I sit, clearly delusional.

So that's not really a problem worth refuting.

On the other hand, hundreds of millions of people dying, 10s of millions of species going extinct, massive migration causing chaos in our current understanding of "nation states", sea level rise causing the abandonment and destruction of many of the world's great cities ... these are actual likely problems. The human race will still exist in the face of them, but what will be lost?
> they would have sent you a letter

They're pretty bad at that step. They'll swear up and down it was sent, but questions like "to where" and "was it the same address I have on my driver's license," or "do you have the slightest shred of evidence" are met with deaf ears.

I had the damnedest time once explaining to the clerk why it mattered that the signature she was looking at wasn't my name, wasn't my handwriting, wasn't attached to a document with my name, and wasn't dated within a year of any ticket associated with my license. Her entire algorithm was (document_in_file && ink_in_signature_box).

It might be acceptable if you were at least entitled to a proper trial when they made blatant mistakes. The status quo causes problems though.

That's actually a pretty serious error. It's what we would generally call "billing fraud" and lawyers have lost their licenses and gone to prison for that sort of thing.

I'm in my late 20s, but my mom had me when she was 42. My Dad's father died 32 years before I was born and my Mom's father died 22 years before I was born, so I've always wondered what it must have been like to grow up with grandfathers, let alone great grandfathers or grandmothers.

On the plus side, in the early 60s, my recently windowed grandmother put herself through night school while raising 4 teenage kids, one of whom eventually worked on the national security council and traveled the world; all these years later, I still wonder how she managed it all without having a nervous breakdown. Life is strange like that, sometimes.

In the US, insider trading requires material nonpublic information, but it officially also requires that somebody break a fiduciary duty to the company involved. So, in your hypothetical, the person breaking cryptography algorithms knows something nobody else does (i.e., isn’t public), and that secret is definitely material. But the researcher didn’t get that information through a breach of fiduciary duty, so it’s legal to trade.
Sorry to belabor the point. Again, if what you're doing works for you, more power to you. However, your unit tests should survive starting with one file and breaking it out into multiple files. That's exactly what evolutionary design is, and how I program too. If your tests can't survive it, they're probably too caught up in implementation details. (Or you've fallen into the common trap of defining "unit test" too narrowly.)

Also, if you haven't read it, check out Martin Fowler's Refactoring book. It shows how you can do things like splitting one file into multiple without rewriting.

What I do is test-drive the simplest implementation I can think of, which will often be one module or class, then factor out additional classes as I discover them. While I'm doing that, I'll leave my tests as is, and they continue to cover the code equally well. As I split things out, I'll typically discover more edge cases I want to support, and I'll test-drive those edge cases as well. I'll typically move any relevant tests at that time, possibly rewriting them to be more specific to the unit under test, but the important thing is that I don't have to, and I'll wait until I have the design figured out in my head before I do so.

> I did have to build some things that I felt should have come standard. For example, I had to build a class that provides a thread-safe way to enqueue objects and process them in a background task, which used DispatchQueue internally.

That is DispatchQueue. Or NSOperationQueue. Or preferablly Swift concurrency.

Most wrappers around dispatch queues are unnecessary and use it incorrectly. (I would say this is true of operation queues themselves.) Swift concurrency is better than dispatch, though.
Insider trading requires material nonpublic information, but it also requires somebody violate a fiduciary duty. From the page you linked to (emphasis added):

Illegal insider trading refers generally to buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, on the basis of material, nonpublic information about the security.

I can imagine this being true for 80% of high-mamager positions. But there's also a good portion of leadership positions that get created with new lines of business.

Your instinct is indeed correct. Leap seconds aren't not frequent today because they only started 50 years ago, and you should see much more leap seconds in average for next 50 years. It also means that leap seconds are not sustainable in the long term for reasons other than computer glitches anyway.

> Having smoked or taken other illicit drugs in the recent, or not so recent, past is a major source of stress for people applying for clearance.

If you have broken the law in the past, the clearance processes mostly seem to care that a) you acknowledge it and have stopped b) you are upfront about it, and it can't be used as leverage against you.

If you're currently routinely breaking the law, yes, it's going to be hard to get clearance. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

The kids will stay alive, but they would certainly prefer stability, and their parents would've just as much loved to give their children a better life. For most of human history the parents didn't really have much control over improving their circumstances, nor did they have effective means of birth control, so they just had kids whenever. I don't think it's reasonable to just put that aside as "kids are way more resilient".

I once wrote a post about Docker in unprivileged LXC on ZFS [1]. The post is a little bit outdated, as it is much simpler today with ZFS 2.2.0, which is natively supported. There's also a more recent post that shows how to run rootless docker [2], with updated uid-mappings. Both may be helpful, have a look.

The advantage of using LXC for me is resource consumption and separation of concerns. I have about 35 Docker containers spread over 10 LXCs. The average CPU use is 1-3% and I only need about 10GB of memory (even with running bigger containers like Nextcloud, Gitlab, mailcow-dockerized etc.). With docker-compose.yml's, automatic updates are easy and robust.

sorry, Let me correct that!
You’ve taken the wrong lesson from your experience. Or let me put it this way, you’re telling us that you were messed up and foolish for years and years… but NOW you are clear-headed and wise. Why should we believe you now? Maybe you are being just as egotistical and foolish now, but in a different way.

I’ve worked hard for 40 years, and I don’t regret it. I accept my ego. My ego isn’t sick and neither is yours. We are ordinary mortals, sprinkled with unique and special bits, here and there.

Have compassion for yourself.

Hard work is not different from “smart” work. As you have admitted, being smart is not all that easy. Hard work is not wrong.

But maybe we can agree on this advice: review your life, once in a while… say, twice a day. And then you won’t build up such elaborate regrets.
