NestJS is nodeJS for Java people. It's like Angular in that sense.

So some people will feel like it's over engineered.

I mean it's overengineered. Why do I have to register all these things, and why does it keep crashing if I register it like this without any understandable error message. It has a little bit of an OCD relationship with dependency injection. Where the normal import system can handle most of those cases.

But few nice things, resolvers, auto-generate swaggers. And TypeORM is lovely.

But yeah it's a bit too demanding. I'm okay with an opiniated framework if it gives a lot of features out of the box (like laravel or NextJs), but NestJS tells me how to do things without giving me enough in return. (auth, sockets etc are still quite a lot of work)
nestjs is nice if you’re coming from Angular. It’s basically Angular for the backend.

But like Angular, there is a very wide range of use cases where it is totally overkill and like Angular, companies are throwing it at each and every project.

I don’t find it bad but it’s in a strange spot being more bloated than other JS frameworks while still being way less "batteries included" than more classical corporate frameworks.

Like Angular, I don’t hate it though it’s just that I still haven’t figured out a project where it’s better suited than something else.
Really he's just kind of desperate for liquid cash right now, since he owes hundreds of millions in court settlements that he has never had. He's always been a stupid, low brow grifter, going as far as simply stiffing contractors who worked in his buildings and was such a bad bet for loans that he could no longer get credit in America.

That's why he is raiding the RNC, why he is pushing campaign contributions so much (remember when he was claiming "I'm so rich that I'm self funding my campaign?"), why he did the stupid NFTs, and why he did this IPO.

He's spent his entire life selling rocks to chronic bag-holders, who seem to be exactly the kind of person who wants to stand behind them. It's genuinely sad how much money he has stolen from the bag-holder class. They seemingly have no self awareness to see his greed or their, well, naivety. Every dollar they send him has been squirreled away for personal reasons, and yet they believe him to be their savior. I've never seen such gluttony for punishment.
Two-Year Anniversary of ThoughtLog
Today is the two-year anniversary of ThoughtLog. You no longer have to write things down, ThoughtLog reads your brain waves and automatically writes down all of your thoughts, for free! “Sponsored Thoughts” from our advertisers are minimally invasive and can even be fun! We are working on VisualLog to record everything you see. Another free service, this one provided by "Visual Billboards" that place advertisements unobtrusively in your visual field.
My hope is these cases force more users to better understand how our data is collected and monetized, without our consent.

The "I've nothing to hide" attitude might start being overshadowed by "Wait, they are collecting what? And making billions?"

9% mortality (with treatment) with flu like transmission rates would quickly destroy the functionality of our medical system.

Soon new patients would live or die with no medical care and death rate for the diseases and anyone who is at risk of dying wo care would skyrocket.

50M people would ultimately die in the US alone everything would collapse and people would lock down of their own accord.
> bars need to have some culpability as well if a lot of their patrons are causing destruction.

By your reasoning, I should be able to sue a gas station that sells gas to someone without first checking to make sure their car is well maintained, that they have a valid drivers license and liability insurance, that they are sober, are mot impaired by medical issues, and that they do not have too many points on their license.

There outta be a law against registering people to vote if they want nanny-states. I mean, if it saves one child's life then it's worth a little infringement in your "rights." Your vote would not have made a difference. Now you can do something productive instead of standing in line at the polling place, like reading a civics textbook. I hear Ron Paul' Campaign for Liberty sells a good one.

Amazing. Reminds me of the fact that militaries really don't want wind turbines in areas where good radar coverage is important (case in point: the Finnish Defense Forces anywhere near the Russian border); even though the blades aren't metal, they're still a source of noise and radar shadow.
A pet project I keep thinking about and thinking through but never quite making a start on is an sql to intermediate representation mapping that can the be optimised and then used or target different sql dialects etc. It quickly grows into a generic distributed sql engine for querying disparate data sources and, before you know it, you are inventing something to give trino a run for its money :)
> Of course, if you've started with the conclusion that smartphones and social media can't possibly be the problem, you'll be able to deflect anything away from that particular cause.

Similarly, starting with the conclusion that smartphones and social media must be the problem, you’ll deflect away from a lot of contradictory evidence that suggest a more complex interplay between other societal issues, and that smartphones/social media are—if anything—likely just illuminating and amplifying known and pre-existing root causes of poor mental health in young people: poverty, trauma, discrimination, and pressure to excel[0].

Literature reviews of social media and smartphone use show “conflicting small positive, negative and null associations” and “do not offer a way of distinguishing cause from effect”[1]. Some hypothesised alternative causes of increases in depressive and anxiety symptoms with some stronger effect sizes include: increases in online bullying, decreases in sleep, long-term effects of the Great Recession (and, by extension, the European debt crisis), biological changes[2], restrictions on independent activity[3], and climate change[4]. Even before the invention of the smartphone, psychopathologies in young Americans had increased by a full standard deviation[5] over the previous 70 years. The number of teens that report extremely high levels of stress doubles during the school year[6], yet there is little blame currently being cast in that direction, despite it being the overwhelmingly largest self-reported source of stress at 83%.

Claiming causation from such weak evidence is not merely foolish, it’s potentially quite dangerous. Despite the parent commenter’s incorrect claim that this is purely an American issue, they are almost certainly correct that smartphones and social media are currently being used as scapegoats so society can avoid confronting and addressing the deeply entrenched and deeply uncomfortable root causes of harm. I think this can be seen, at least in part, in the casual discarding of evidence that—especially for marginalised groups[7]—access to online spaces can be protective to young peoples’ mental health.

Trying to avoid discussing the root problems is bad enough on its own, since it means they will not be fixed, but the proposed solution of using restrictive mediation—that is, shielding young people from harm rather than educating them—is almost certainly worse than doing nothing at all[8].

> then its thoughts would take thousands or millions of years to process

This reminds me of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", where pan-dimensional beings waited 7.5 million years for their first super computer to tell them "42". Then they constructed another super computer, Earth, to find the question.
Works fine for me.

> Feels like a weird kneejerk to me, raised in a culture where it's normal to just invent new spellings for old names.

Let me guess, you're an American (or Canadian, etc.)?

One annoying tic that Americans frequently have, when encountering a cultural difference (outside a few specific superficial areas like food), is they take the position that the American way is the right way and any other ways are less than. They frequently do this while simultaneously professing how tolerant and accepting they are of other cultures.

Basically, I feel Americans really want cultural difference eliminated in favor of a bland, AirSpace [1] liberalism, except for some funny hats and exotic Instagrammable cuisine.

Maybe embrace is the wrong word. Rather, it was hard for your left hand to know what your right was doing so to speak. So you could easily separate parts of your life. Maybe you were totally normal but had some weird hobby that you engaged in with a group of people every third Saturday. You could successfully construct alternate personae for different groups. Nowadays, your entire life has to be bared out for everyone, and this means that everyone wants to do the same things.
I think you're mixing up intelligence (i.e. having a model of self, being able to learn and all of that) and consciousness (having qualia) here.

In a non-panpsychic universe, p-zombies might well have a model of self without being conscious.

You're the only person I've encountered that has expressed a strong opinion that the query building part of an ORM should be considered separate from the rest of the ORM.

Do you have any examples of open source ORM libraries that stick to the terminology you are advocating here? I've not seen one myself.

Maybe this is partly an ecosystem thing. What ecosystems do you mainly work in? I'm primarily Python with a bit of JavaScript, so I don't have much exposure to ORM terminology in Java or C#.
Ok we've taken deep document understanding out of the title above. Thanks!
Research reveals that language barriers limit cybersecurity resources
Pre-calc mathematics can be a bit boring because it consists mostly of a lot of technicalities that aren't themselves super interesting. A lot of those technicalities are connected in ways that unfortunately become only apparent in much higher-level maths. So I can understand that it's a bit of a pain, but I also think that it gets better afterwards (at least on the conceptual level).

I'm a bit skeptical about the use of ChatGPT because it can be very off about maths. If it's something it has seen exactly like this in its training materials, it will get it right (e.g. it will spit out the correct quadratic formula). But if you ask it to solve a specific problem that it hasn't seen before with those exact parameters, it might be bogus.
It could still help, but proceed with caution. For example, there's one part where you ask it why it multiplied by 4. Your question is wrong, because it multiplied by -4, but ChatGPT, always eager to please, doesn't correct you on that, instead it says:
"Multiplying by 4 is equivalent to dividing by −0.25 because 1/-0.25 = -4" - which is self-contradictory.

There are also other services you could use for this, such as symbolab (which is rule-based), but I think it needs a subscription to see all the steps.

I would recommend actually reading the textbook. Or, if it's a boring textbook, try out other textbooks. People find different kinds of explanations intuitive / different styles of exposition engaging, so you can experiment. I think it would make it easier for you to retain the material because you would learn some of the why.

In mathematics, it's often a better strategy to understand something and be able to know what it's true, than to just memorise the result.
I don't think this is unique in any way.

Port knocking is stupid. It violates Kerckhoffs’s principle¹. If you want more secret bits which users need to know in order to access your system, increase your password lengths, or cryptographic key sizes. If you want to keep log sizes manageable, adjust your logging levels.

The security of port knocking is also woefully inadequate:

• It adds very little security. How many bits are in a “secret knock”?

• The security it does add is bad: It’s sent in cleartext, and easily brute-forced.

• It complicates access, since it’s non-standard.

I would argue that not being able to achieve the goals set out by the authors is the main hook behind their content in the first place. First, you read their stuff, and the advice sounds really good. Next, if you try really hard, you achieve about 50% of their instructions because you're just an average person living an average life with average-person-type restrictions on your time. Then, you go on another quest to get more information from people whose lives are nothing like yours because they've managed to achieve income streams that don't require them to hold down a full time job... by donating to their income streams for even more information that will undoubtedly be mostly useless to you as you crawl past that 50% you've already achieved.
It hasn't been debunked. Putin is a crook.

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/comrade-...

The original allegation was made by Sergei Kolesnikov, not Navalny. Reuters traced the money which was used to build Putin's Palace. Any of Putin's associates can claim ownership in order to take the heat off of him, but it is his to use as he sees fit.
I would argue that consciousness doesn't require a purpose. I woke up here, what was my purpose? If I don't decide that purpose, what does? How is that thing able to give me one and not be conscious in some way? Evolution has no purpose other than it's own continuation, which is interestingly also the only purpose I was born with. I'd say purpose is innate to consciousness, emergent with it, but not a precursor. The universe doesn't need me here.

Does the process of evolution "learn"? I'd say empirically yes it does, but there's no organ or part of it that does the learning, learning is just innate as well. The system learns and the evidence of what it has learned are apparent in it's form.

Go down the list, evolution, the biosphere, meets all these criteria except for replication. It hasn't replicated, but it does appear it is learning how to do so. So is the biosphere conscious in it's own way? I don't know, but either answer is problematic for your set of axioms, so I don't think they're correct.

So let's get a little more curious. If I'm conscious, and I'm part of the universe, does that mean that the universe is conscious? And if so, was it conscious in some way before I opened memy eyes for the first time? On the first question I'd argue yes, it is conscious at least to the degree I am and with awareness at least as far as mine goes, seeing as I'm not merely inside the universe, but am an inseparable part of it. Further, though I don't know for certain if there are other conscious beings in the universe, I observe several around me that appear to have the same form and behavior that I have, I'd wager that my parents and such are also conscious, so the universe probably has a consciousness beyond just mine. On the second question, it's not so straightforward, but considering that this consciousness that I have comes from something in the universe I think a "yes" to this one would be more likely to be the right answer than a "no". It would appear that some constants, rules, traits of the universe not only allow for consciousness, but select for it via convergent evolution. There is, at the very least, something fundamental about the universe that emerges as consciousness somewhere inside it.
I wonder if this post is timed to coincide with Easter Sunday and everyone sensitive to sugar being more receptive to a study like this.
I have been thinking about this recently, AI "Art" does have a certain style too it. Almost abstract.

I have found myself enjoying the look of it when I am unsure if it is AI or not. I almost bought a playmat I really liked on Etsy but I am 99% sure it is AI generated. Doesn't change that it looks appealing.

I have to wonder, if we could somehow ethically train an AI model to generate AI "Art". Maybe through some cost sharing method, idk. Would there a valid place for it given its style?

But as it is right now I refuse to support it until we can say it was actually ethically trained.

At absolute best I could see using it as a mockup tool before paying an actual artist or designer to be able to more easily communicate what it is I am looking for. But not for the end result.
Toy seem a bit unfair. The guy who wrote it did so because he was working on damage control systems on guided-missile destroyers and the Informix system installed on the ships wasn't reliable. When he left he developed SQLite which was then used by Motorola as part of a new cell phone OS. Simple maybe but not really toy applications.

If it's AI then you know there's nothing underneath, nothing there.

There's some amazing scifi and fantasy imagery that looks like images from the most amazing story ever. But you know there's no story, nothing underneath - there's no story to read, no human adventure.

AI art is the like a Hollywood set - just the facade but if you look behind it, there's no buildings or houses.
Thanks for the productive dialog and the fan support. Greatly appreciated!

> We can save the debate about whether AMD can walk and chew gum at the same time :)

It is a huge risk for my business, so it is something that I'm taking very seriously. In a past life, I've run a lot of consumer AMD GPUs, I'm well aware of their positives, and negatives. My feeling is that George didn't factor this risk into his business, and then went into panic mode when he ran into issues. This is exactly why I'm going the "enterprise" route first.

> I’ve got a bias for functioning markets, not one particular vendor.

I strongly concur with this, which is why AMD won't be our only offering. I'd love to get other hardware (including, but not limited to, Nvidia and all others). That said, we're just focused on starting with creating functioning markets first.
This stuff is pre-auth.

I suspect (and this isn't my idea) Keto works because it reduces the amount of dietary sugar and increases dietary fiber. It is the high sugar/low fiber diet that causes insulin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, microbiome issues, inflammation, etc. So keto may not be ideal, but is way better than the standard western diet.

To disprove "That even though the government is wrong a lot, sometimes they're right about important things", you would have to prove that the government is wrong _all_ the time about important things. You just mentioned some things you think the government got wrong, but that is covered by the clause "That even though the government is wrong a lot" anyway. So it then just seems you wanted to soapbox about covid and governments, even if that isn't your intent.
