The 5,000 message limit adds _extra_ requirements for senders; ALL senders, regardless of volume, must adhere to these standards:

Starting February 1, 2024, all email senders who send email to Gmail accounts must meet the requirements in this section.

- Set up SPF or DKIM email authentication for your sending domains.

- Ensure that sending domains or IPs have valid forward and reverse DNS records, also referred to as PTR records. Learn more

- Use a TLS connection for transmitting email. For steps to set up TLS in Google Workspace, visit Require a secure connection for email.

- Keep spam rates reported in Postmaster Tools below 0.3%. Learn more about spam rates

- Format messages according to the Internet Message Format standard, RFC 5322.

- Don’t impersonate Gmail From: headers. Gmail will begin using a DMARC quarantine enforcement policy, and impersonating Gmail From: headers might impact your email delivery.

- If you manage a forwarding service, including mailing lists or inbound gateways, add ARC headers to outgoing email. ARC headers indicate the message was forwarded and identify you as the forwarder. Mailing list senders should also add a List-id: header, which specifies the mailing list, to outgoing messages.

Neat-o. We're standing up a standard sandbox and something like this would be helpful. Lots of...interesting data types (Tolkien quotes?). What's it like adding some custom data types (eg domain) and getting them anonymized?
VW does this internally. They own the VW, Seat and Skoda brand. The up!, Skoda City Go and Seat Mii are virtually identical.

Even doing that is going to run you at least $100 million and you still have many of the risks associated with developing your own platform without anywhere near the number of escape hatches due to significant lock in.

This has recently happened to a well known EV company relying on just the electrical platform from a well known and highly respected auto maker that they have a good relationship with. It means they’ve had to go looking at other platforms (again, just the electrical platform) and has put the whole company at risk.
The limit of detection hasn’t been the hardware for a long time. It’s humans reading the scans and the availability of the scanners.

Various groups are chipping away at low field magnets with the aim of improving access, and their results are impressive.
not at all whatsoever. however if you have gadolinium injected for contrast some people have problems with that. but the magnetic field itself doesn't affect you negatively on its own
I can see some commits mentioning telemetry but it's not at all mentioned on the GitHub README. Strange.

It looks solid and I'd try it if the need arises.
Let’s step back and ask why we’re being asked to assume it would be inherently bad if the global population were to start to decline.
What a gloriously dumb idea. If I had that sort of access, I'd probably try something similar, and probably get the same results.

Did you admit what happened, or was there a "mysterious widespread network failure"?
Is the paid tier worth the platform not turning into crap? It is to me. I also find some of the perks worth a few bucks a month - global (animated) emojis, per-server profiles, etc.
I'm just not looking forward to the inevitable subscription billing dark patterns that are almost guaranteed to be rife in alternative app stores. Call to unsubscribe, early cancellation fees, unsubscribe "errors", etc. Say what you want about the App Store, but the fact that you can quickly and easily see all your subscriptions in one place along with how much they cost and the ability to cancel them easily is incredibly nice.
Thanks for the reply.

>I'm just saying that I seem to have more luck with people coming out of those traditional programs.

Would having a master's in data science and also a traditional undergraduate STEM degree be beneficial?

>as you add more jobs to your resume, the specifics of your education matters less and less.

In my case, I'm attempting to move from a non-technical role to a technical one, with my master's degree serving as my gateway into the field, since my previous job experience isn't relevant. Do you have any tips on how to make my resume stand out to recruiters?
The MBA is not for building a business, it's for having the credentials to get a comfy management job at an established corporation.
VERY COOL! I joined the waitlist.
People love to freak out about this, but look how the Black Plague really kicked off the early modern world in Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_deepening is, IMO, underrated. It's an easy way to understand how the post-plague years were so impactful.

If a few decades from now apartment towers in China are full of migrants from around the world, I will not complain.
The reason copyright is so contentious and inherently evokes "dodgy" solutions is that it goes against the flow of nature.
>seems to close the door on the argument that the brain always and nearly immediately ceases to function in a coherent manner in the moments after clinical death.

Who thinks this? Nobody thinks this. Literally and actually, irrefutably, not a single healthcare professional educated in the last 50 years makes this argument.

I'm not even a healthcare professional I'm a healthcare amateur (volunteer EMT) and I have personally witnessed the "turbo-mode" the brain goes into as it desperately plays its last cards trying to keep itself alive. On multiple occasions.

It's called agonal breathing. Your heart stops, your brain senses this, and it starts sending out every electrical signal possible to get your muscles spasming in the right order to restart breathing. It never works, but the brain tries. We always slap on a mask, pump as much oxygen into them as possible and start breathing for them and doing chest compressions but it almost never works.

It can go on for a LONG time, not "moments".

Someone might be obviously and permanently dead, and been that way for a half hour, and then their brainstem will find one last bit of energy somewhere and command the diaphragm and accessory muscles to take a final agonal breath thus scaring the shit out of everyone.

The patient's body is dead, but their brain refuses to give up until it exhausts every single ATP molecule available to it, and then it too, finally, dies.

The brain freaking the fuck out as it suffocates, shutting down various parts of itself to conserve energy until all that's left is the brainstem sending out reflexive, often garbled, commands to organs no longer capable of responding until it too dies isn't sign of a "soul".
So awful! Why don't they have a CON for x-rays then? Or other machines?

They seem low quality. At the MRI centers I cooperate with, the first image is like a CT and the 7T is like 3T.
I think this is a good thing. I think we should learn how to take care of the people and planet we have before we start trying to increase our numbers. Indeed, it will probably be required by the people anyway.
> Metropolis chose the name MANIAC in the hope of stopping the rash of silly acronyms for machine names [1]

Looks like even MANIAC was deliberately restrained to make it sound less maniac than the names of computers that came before it. Can't beat Manchester Baby, Colossus, The WITCH, SWAC and MADDIDA.

Being Los Alamos, they really should have named it ATOMIAC or something.

In places in the world where those rules don’t apply, access and cost is still problematic.

There is a lack of staff, the hardware is expensive and the bill payers (insurance and national health services) don’t really want everything scanned all the time.
Nope they won't. It's cash machine
It does happen, for example Paccar is a truck designer and sells licenses (apparently they also manufacture trucks but I think they used to only design them, although I'm not sure). I think some european makers do that as well and I would be surprised if Ford or GM doesn't. At least GM planned to buy (not sell) designs to Nikola if they ever managed to finish one (which I think they didn't in time for the deal to go through).
I may be cynical here, but I find that all open source datadog alternatives are mostly frontend focussed with an out of the box database. And it does not scale well. It's not easy to maintain, scale, shard etc. Am I wrong?

P.S. I am all for OSS.
“There’s a tendency to dismiss this as sort of like, yeah, we’ll worry about it in the future. But I think it’s becoming more of an issue that has to be tackled sooner rather than later.”

This is an increasing phenomena of our century and it continual feels like we keep kicking these big socio-economic problems (i.e. social security, climate change) down the road.
Given Apple’s recent history, I’m betting dig in their heels—which I think is a bad strategy, so I hope I’m wrong. They’ve brought this regulation on themselves with their unnecessarily ham-handed actions. People—even big Apple fans—have been calling it for years. It’s been frustrating to see so many unforced errors.
Semantic-Cache: Intelligent Caching for Python Functions
I'm thrilled to share 'semantic-cache', a powerful Python library that enhances function performance through intelligent semantic caching.

With semantic-cache, your functions can automatically reuse cached results for semantically similar inputs, even if they're not byte-for-byte identical. This can significantly boost performance for expensive computations, especially in areas like natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), and generative AI.

Here's how it works:

1. The @semantic_cache decorator analyzes function arguments and converts them into vector representations.
2. It then searches for similar calls in a vector similarity search engine (powered by Qdrant).
3. If a match is found above a configurable threshold, the cached result is returned, saving computation time.
4. If no match is found, the function executes, and its output is cached for future retrieval.

'semantic-cache' shines in various applications, including:

- NLP Tasks: Cache results for text processing functions, even with slight wording variations.
- Machine Learning: Optimize model inference by caching results for similar input data.
- Expensive Calculations: Cache computationally intensive functions based on input parameters.
- Generative AI: Reuse previously generated outputs from LLMs for similar prompts or queries, significantly reducing costs.

Give semantic-cache a try and experience the performance boost for yourself! Check out the GitHub repo for documentation, examples, and contribution guidelines.

I'm excited to hear your thoughts and feedback!
As mentioned earlier in the article, it's more like YouTube Music is a poor substitute for a proper app for podcasts, specifically.
One of my favorites: Bun has a working FFI that is also fast.

https://bun.sh/docs/api/ffi

So has Deno, but Bun's feel more evolved as it comes bundled with tools and sufficient examples for working with pointers. The only thing Bun is missing right now is the Deno equivalent of non-blocking FFI calls, ie `await mylib.myFunc()`.

Another one on my wishlist for Bun: embedded Bun. A library distribution would be nice, so that we can call into Bun as ie "libbun.so" from other languages. It would be more resourceful than just embedding WebKit/SpiderMonkey/v8 as these lack any real capabilities besides running vanilla JS.
Isn't it usually because our retirement systems assume the next generation can foot the bill for the current generation since they'll be a larger generation?
>I wouldn't even call it a "podcast" at that point, but I guess the definition is changing.

Yeah, it's a generational thing.

My friend and I who couldn't find the podcast were all like "WTF? That's not even a podcast! It's a YouTube video!" Our mutual friend (who is more than a decade younger than us) was like "YouTube is where everyone goes for podcasts, I don't see problem?"

When I really, really think about it there isn't much difference between a YouTube video essayist like Shaun (https://www.youtube.com/@Shaun_vids) who I usually "watch" without visuals and a podcast. So the distinction is... blurry, and ultimately not important.

Then there's podcasters who put a video of them recording the podcast up as a YouTube video.

And there's OSW Review (https://www.youtube.com/@OSW) who call themselves a "video podcast" but I definitely wouldn't want to listen to in audio-only format. So what's the difference between a "video podcast" and a "YouTube video?" Nothing.
The automatic test tool "Keploy" using eBPF is amazing
Is fertility the correct term?
Dropping fertility is worrisome, less children because of conscious decisions is not.
Yeap its an bot but we are testing our new Function Store for LLMS. You can check out, Its stores the functions whic is used in your llm agents like langchain and autogen with their document and usage analyses
I don't know if I am your target audience, but it seems like it's doing a whole lot more than most people would need.

I feel like there is huge value in version control that supports various binaries with custom diff support. Perforce, git-lfs, etc. offer binary version control, but not custom and useful diff tooling per binary type. Kaleidoscope, Beyond Compare, etc. offer some improved diff tooling, but not for a wide variety of file types.

That seems like it would be the essence of a product like this.

I suspect that many of the people who influence the adoption of VCS are likely deeply technical and will likely actively avoid products that are opinionated on the target output when using the VCS.
Many QR code readers will auto-lowercase URLs that are encoded in alphanumeric encoding. The rest will recognize uppercase URLs just fine. Alphanumeric encoding was basically made for URLs.
It was built 1976 to 1984. Given the extensive emigration of educated people since, does SA still retain enough people locally to be able to accomplish similar feats?
NestJS with handlebars SSR templates, htmx, Postgres, containerised running on Google Cloud Run.
We currently using https://refine.dev/ with NextJS and Material UI for a CRUD type project. How would you compare yourself to Refine?
Because the economy and thus everything around you relies on constant growth.

Personally I'd be happy with a world with a lot less people, finding some sort of equilibrium. But it would necessitate a lot of pain to get there.
That was a pretty good interview
"In many ways, I think I picked a great stack to move quickly and ship things. However, considering all the time spent debugging some of issues that stemmed from using more cutting edge infra providers, next time I'll more carefully consider setting up parts of my infra with a more traditional solution like AWS."

That right there is the rationale behind the "Choose Boring Technology" movement: https://boringtechnology.club/
People do fork.

Tesla's original was a fork of a Lotus. They got the whole chassis/etc from Lotus, dropped in their own drive train and other stuff. Other reply mentioned paccar.

Idk why it doesn't happen more often. I suspect most manufacturers aren't willing to license like that.
Last year wasn't exceptional in regards to drought on average[1]. Obviously some areas were more dry and some were less dry.

I had a friend who started a masters in ai at uw. He really struggled with it because of the opportunity cost. He knew he was losing money and career progression by staying. He ended up dropping out.
If Microsoft wants to use ffmpeg, then they should have to have people on staff who can fix it when it breaks. The whole point of FOSS was that you could have the source code to things you rely on. If there is a problem, you can fix it or pay someone else to fix it.
I think that what we need is good sandboxing. All a sandboxed Turing-complete language can do is perform I/O on some restricted area, burn CPU and attempt to escape the sandbox.

I would like to see this on the language level, not just on the OS level.
That's why you shouldn't use slow backend technologies in the first place because you get to the point where you need preformance and it's impossible because your limited by extremely slow runtime you chose initially because it was flashy (not even easier to developer for) when you could have just chosen something better from the start.

Simple crud apps can get by fine with those technologies, but in the future I'd still never use it because you're leaving huge amounts of performance gains on the table for virtually no benefit. I don't buy the argument that javascript is just easier to develop for because it's simply not. The js ecosystem is a disaster.
Have a read about what happens - the Kardashian Whole Body scan is still in the news.

It’s not as good as one would hope. False positive cause misery.
You join a company as an employee and fill out a form that says "I'm single with no dependents" and then they figure the withholding.

That algorithm is broken - it doesn't withhold the required amount for many people at RSU-granting jobs.

It's insane that the system is designed for most people to be FTEs and have their taxes withheld, but the provided formula doesn't withhold the required amount and they act like that's your fault.

I understand that you mean to be helpful, but the IRS is indefensible.
What's your source for the IP addresses?
nothing should be allowed patented without a sensible license clause so anyone could use the tech, and then only for 5 to 10 years. Life saving and planet saving tech should not be allowed patents at all, to have a more open source community around solving the biggest problems and keeping healthcare costs down...
Because innovation will likely decrease simultaneously with needing to support a far greater fraction of unproductive retirees.

I also always wonder if folks with your view see no moral issue with humanity disappearing, or with mass population decline in any way other than fewer children being born.
Whenever an article like this gets written I immediately see so many comments to the effect of "It's obviously X."

No. It's not obviously anything. It's not obvious. Saying it's obvious seems actively harmful to me.

The only thing that's obvious to me is that precise measurement and research would be the smart thing to do. I'd love to try to understand the change through whatever data we can. What variables correlate (geography? income? religion?)? Can we break down what % of this is changes in unwanted pregnancies? Can we break down what % of this is people physically unable to have kids? Can we break down what % of this is pessimism about the future? What about genetics?

This is a question that's worthy of millions of dollars of research imo.
Same here in Frisco, Texas. Teslas are so common here and pretty much it is always Asians driving them. I keep hearing that Tesla is the new Toyota.

But talking with some of the Tesla owners, many feel embarrassed by Elon. Many say that they will not buy another Tesla or they have some other reasoning to justify their purchase (like Elon has gone crazy but we shouldn't punish the entire company for it etc)
> It seems a lot of people are assuming Jia Tian was compromised all along. I haven't seen a reason to believe this was a long play, but rather that they were compromised along the way

So I assume Jia has spoken out since? How do you go this long without realising someone else is making plays as you?
There is a theory that there could be unexplored effects of RF exposure. For example, we can see that glucose metabolism increases in brain tissue exposed to RF. That could be the end of it, or there could be consequences to that under the right conditions. We don't know yet.
Nope, normally rising productivity can do the same unless you don't want workers to participate on the benefits of rising productivity.
I made the original comment and must say that it was only meant as a joke. But, maybe some cases would merit using it.

This is of course based on the fact of how the xz attack needed a couple of apparently innocent community members to start being too pushy, to the point of almost bullying the author and pointing fingers to their supposed passivity towards maintaining the project.

To some levels of such behavior, after all that has happened, one could reasonably (even if just jokingly) wonder if it's not a similar attempt. IMO, being framed as a possible attacker would probably either calm the shit out of some too entitled users, or provoke them into even more whining.

Now seriously, there is the thing about attitude that I wish was more popular among FOSS maintainers in order to have a mentally healthy relationship with their role: the ability to work on their own terms and not forget even for a split second that this is all a hobby activity. That FOSS licenses are explicitly written to allow A LOT of freedoms such as hiring 1st or 3rd party support services, forking, or whatever else but not to demand anything from the author.
The DMA also prohibits companies from placing restrictions on third-party apps that don't apply to their own apps. So if any first-party Apple apps can ignore these "security restrictions" then Apple may have some compliance issues that force them to remove the restrictions.
Egalitarianism is about equal social treatment and rights, not equal ability.
Worker productivity is still going up. You can also just extract a larger share, it's not written in stone that 20% of gross income goes into paying pensions. There is no particular reason why that number can't be 30%. Or 40%.
"I can't count that low" is less of a joke than it sounds. Google's approach to developing software and products is great for ensuring that everything they make can scale up, but is terrible for scaling down and minimizing the maintenance work required for a small service.
Wow this is huge for llm and data engineering. Many of the best libraries are in Python
Apple has separate Music and Podcasts apps.
there isn't a single electric vehicle on the market that looks anything like the international scout, FJ40, or any classic rugged vehicle. Look at how much icon4x4 restorations go for. There are wealthy people out there with great taste, but no big auto manufacturer seems to want to produce a chassis with this aesthetic.

So why wouldn't Ford or GM be cool with letting a smaller label do this and testing the market?
Definitely would reach for remix before next, and I would go with a big cloud provider container app solution such as Azure container apps (if azure was better) or Google Cloud Run (good, but do you trust google?) before Vercel.

Personally I think ORMs are mostly bad and Prisma is more of the same. Zapatos at least gives you typed SQL results without a lot of overhead.
