It's not any different than the newspaper stalls of the past. The newspapers show their title and cover for free on the street as well to get somebody to pick them up. And same as in the past, nobody wanted to show a blank page on the street either.

Where the newspapers are struggling in isn't getting traffic but in converting this traffic to paid customers and Google isn't responsible of any of that problem.
Nothing you said here is true.

> At this point, Kitchen believes he knows the code well enough that he can hear it in music. Once, at a concert in Hong Kong, he was listening to a performance of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 23 in F Minor, Op. 57—the “Appassionata.” He noticed an unstable chord that seemed especially ominous and unsettling—the kind of quiet but emotionally powerful moment that Beethoven often noted with one of his bespoke abbreviations.

> “I said, ‘I bet you that’s a two-line pianissimo,’” Kitchen recalled. After the performance, he checked. Sure enough: Scrawled below the disconcerting bass note troubling the otherwise serene chord, Beethoven had written a double-underlined pp. Two hundred years later, maybe Kitchen finally understood exactly what he’d meant.
"roughly three-quarters of the total amount of new housing required in coming years needs to be affordable to the lowest-income half of the population. The greatest housing needs are at the lowest levels of the income scale."

That is from a dated, but very anti-vacation rental report [1], i just don't see the houses in the rental pool filling this need (yes it increases aggreagate supply/changes marginal pricing).

You can track it separately, but if you use a database like DynamoDB using a ULID as the SK leads to optimized access patterns. If you use a UUID as your SK, then sort order of two items created at the same second is not guaranteed.
That's a bad analogy, because in your example, the consumer is using more of a shared resource (the available transformer, wiring, and generation capacity). In the case of the driver for a local GPU card, there's no sharing.

A better example would be one in which the consumer has a dedicated transformer. For instance, a small commercial building which directly receives 3-phase 13.8 kV power; these are very common around here, and these buildings have their own individual transformers to lower the voltage to 3-phase 127V/220V.
Honestly, I don't fully agree, at least for now. AI writes too much code that isn't optimized until you go in and ask it to edit a certain block in a certain way. At least that's been my experience so far.

So, the cost of needing to go through all the written code afterward and do a ton of code reviews/edits is more expensive than giving a good engineer a good AI.

I'm sure though that in a year or two we'll just be doing reviews, and edits will be rare...
Somewhere between 500 million to 2 billion is probably comfortable. Anywhere in that range offers a reasonable trade-off between wealth versus strain on the environment. More people means more wealth but also more strain on the environment, but anywhere in that range we still have some non-crisis choices available.
I sort of agree. The instructions were written without "rule followers" in mind.

Most people commenting here realize that there are two ways to open the door:

1. Press the button

2. Pull a mechanical release latch

Obviously the second would work. There's a good chance that the first would work too. She tried neither.

The reasons were because she was instructed not to. For some, that sounds like the most normal thing in the world. For others it is bizarre. It is fun to watch the comments from both sides. :)
Correct. As the article state, Teslas have manual door levers, like all normal cars, that can be operated without power. The tiktoker chose to not open the door, just for views & clicks.
This is the legal basis (FISA Section 702) for the program known as PRISM disclosed by Ed Snowden that allows the USG to pull customer data directly from large US cloud providers without a warrant.

Many regard it as plainly unconstitutional.
“ and disrupt international drug cartels who are looking to smuggle fentanyl into our nation,” they said.”

You're also missing the point. I'm not in favor of the death penalty, but I'm also not Vietnamese, and I recognize that capital punishment is their highest form of punishment. On a scale of "the most lenient punishment" to "the highest form of punishment", this is obviously at the end of that spectrum. Whether or not I believe that's a good punishment is immaterial.

What does matter is that they chose, on that scale of least to most, the most. The actions of the accused surely have and will continue to lead to death (at that scale of fraud, the downstream consequences are going to be vast and devastating to the victims). If murderers can deserve the death penalty, the abstract consequences of someone committing physical violence are remarkably less bad than the abstract consequences of the criminals in this case, so why wouldn't the same be appropriate?

Separate from the issue of whether capital punishment is moral, it's on the table whether you or I like it. At what point is the maximum punishment appropriate?

It'd be reasonable if it was achievable. News are always colored by politics. And usually the people who want "apolitical" news are just defending the status quo they've internalized as the baseline (which especially in the US is by no means a commonly understood one).

The comment here is out of place, as the general point of the article is sufficiently said.

I'm not sure why this is top comment, it's detractive of discussion.

A better solution would be to summarize your findings, and state that the article was poorly written. 'Socking' the author is clearly anti-discussion, distracting, and not worth the toxicity other than a quick offhand remark to accompany an opinion that talks of the main topic at hand
>Why would a software developer not want to know how long their projects lasted?

But the software is a tool used by customers to do the actual equivalents of the things you listed. As you said for the lawyer: They're happy the the contract fulfilled its purpose, not that it's still sitting on a shelf somewhere.
I didn't lay the blame for anything on Christ's teachings, I laid the blame on Christianity.

Incentive implies a choice can be made.

No one tips a lawnmower for a really tight trim. The lawnmower manufacturer may have worried about that but the lawnmower itself doesn't even worry.

Likewise, the dumb software the agents are using is not making decisions or incentivized.

Now if it were AI, we might worry . . .
Do you really think that the multitrillion dollar industry that thrives on surveilling the public would allow their private takeover of the US government to be thwarted by a few phone calls by civilians?

This sort of surveillance power (the ability to peer into Microsoft, Google, Apple, Yahoo, AWS, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T in realtime without a warrant) is the sort of thing that allows them to blackmail or extort every member of congress, every member of law enforcement, prosecutor, judge, or general in the country.

There is no amount of political organizing that can usefully be brought to bear against the most powerful organization in the country (the CIA/IC) once they have obtained this capability (and they have, for years now).
It's a security vs convenience tradeoff. For most people, making the ID practically unguessable, while also preserving index locality in databases, is the right balance.
ipv6 was designed for global addresses used on the global address namespace. The community hates anything not doing that since that would remind too much of NAT. So anything intentionally not on the global namespace is second rate and not quite supported*.

Alas, being on the global namespace means being dependent on your ISP** - what if they renumber or you want to move ISPs? - or going through the bureaucracy of registering your own block. Yes, despite an infinite space you still need to register to avoid fragmentation. That's something I never want to do.

* For example, IPv6 ULAs have a stupid lookup precedence - IPv4 addresses are higher which means ULA can't be used anywhere which is dual stack.

** There are ways around the latter like ULAs (see above) or using a local DNS (more mess if it fails, assuming everything supports this), or NPT - which would work, but again, the community hates anything that reminds of NAT even when it's totally stateless, so this is little documented. I don't think going against the entire community is a worthwhile endeavor. This should also limit your choice of routers since IIRC not everything supports this.
I've found ULID to be really useful in my API backend that runs on AWS Lambda and writes to DynamoDB. This is a use case where I need Lambda's parallelism, meaning no sharing some common sequential integer. Meanwhile I can roughly order items by creation time which makes pagination and selecting items by time range possible, right on the sort key instead of as a filter. In other words items might end up out of order by a few milliseconds but in my use case that's not a big deal, and I get the benefit of communication-free parallelism.
I wonder if this is the result of hotels having to compete with Airbnbs and dropping their prices. I'd love to read a study on this.
> So what? Why do you get upset about it, when nobody is forcing you to buy it?

Because this isn't a solution. Kagi doesn't save people from advertising, it creates a premium workaround and sells it at an arbitrary price per-customer. It's software-as-a-service, a SAAS, built more for the 1,000 true fans rather than the 100,000,000,000 clueless web users. That's just another business - perhaps a kinder and more transparent business - but a sinkhole of regressive moneygrubbing all the same.

> It's ten dollars.

Which is ten dollars more (per month!) than most people pay for a search engine. If you're the sort of person that just flippantly subscribes to that, then yes, you have lost track of the value of a dollar in my eyes. Like I said - you can host your own search engine and pay for your own top-level domain at that kinda price. It's absurd, I'd protest it on-principle even if I was upset with my current search provider.

There's room for this sort of startup in the world, but they've already lost if they don't offer a free tier. Google will hoover up their potential customers like nobody's business until they take the 98% seriously.
I agree with California. Just like other computer data brokers, Google services benefit from content creators not all the way around. Pay the human content creators.

> While there are 48 bits of time information in both UUIDv7 (with millisecond precision) and ULID, the ULID standard encodes the time as Unix Epoch in milliseconds for the whole 48 bits whereas UUIDv7 splits the time into 36 seconds bits and 12 millisecond bits.

This is incorrect / outdated. UUIDv7 switched to 48 bits of milliseconds instead of 36 seconds / 12 milliseconds: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch...

My next user script project idea would require something like this. It's for my own use, but I have to fill out grade sheets using an incredibly painful web UI. The data would be far more easily entered into a spreadsheet. (That's exactly what they used to use, but in order to make things "easier" the school implemented a horrific parody of an ultra basic CRUD web app...) So I want to make a user script that reads from a spreadsheet to populate the painful-to-use web form.

I haven't started yet because (1) I still haven't finished writing up my last user script experience blog post, and (2) I'm terrified of the auth nightmare. It might be easier or harder in the user script context—I am in the context of a web page, so maybe that means I can do a normal oauth flow from there or something?
I don't think most consumers of news content really think about the difference between a source, a syndicate, or an aggregator. And a significant portion likely don't know the difference. Media literacy is a significant problem, both in the US and in many parts of the world.

> What is it that has you so married to restricting what other people can do on their property?

Externalities, a thing that exists.

Also, a recognition that communities are real things that can and should have rights of their own, independent of the individuals that make them up.

> Especially to the extent that you would engage in bad faith arguments?

You've literally said "everyone should be able to build whatever they want on their land by-right," and it's not bad faith to test your commitment to that.

> Are you trying to keep people out of your neighborhood, or are you trying to keep housing unaffordable? Have you decided that, entirely arbitrarily, the neighborhood is good now and should never change? Generally curious as to your animus.

Casting aspersions like that isn't good faith.
Just to think about this more, are there any other business types, besides online news, where your success so radically depends on the decisions (read google news ranking and summarization algorithms) of some other business that you have zero relations with.

Google news+facebook+twitter can drastically change the revenue of any online news site with an internal decision. Where else do we see something like this in the economy?

EDIT: the criteria of zero business relationship between your entire product class and the Big Business is critical; otherwise lots of examples exist.
sigh it would pain me. But let's face it: if the survival of our democracy depends on the votes of people whose votes can be bought and sold, it's already gone.
I really like this. I could see constructing a physical artifact for a specific case of this game.

According to another comment, the best puzzle with a high number of 6 is [1,6,3] with a minimum of 14 moves.

This would mean you have 6 total rods, and two gutters. The puzzle gutter with a length of 10, and the storage gutter with a length of 11.

If you want more visual symmetry a high number of 7 allows you potentially 2 gutters of length 14.
I couldn't agree more. I'm old enough to remember when software updates were something people anticipated and enjoyed.

Now, they're a burden to be avoided or procrastinated.
"The news media industry is dying because of tech" is a massively successful myth perpetuated by the news media industry.

Back in the day before tech platforms there used to be 5 successful news companies and 5 failing ones. Today there are 5 successful news companies and 500 failing ones. Tech reduced the barriers to entry and made the playing field more level, giving rise to smaller publications and indie journalism. But the appetite for news consumption is still the same, so everyone can't be successful.

Lobbying and passing rent-seeking laws only helps the conglomerates on the top.
I see theres no way to avoid it then.

One of the neat things about Linux is that people get to scratch their own itches.

I have never used anything other than pip and venv. Maybe I'm missing something, but I never felt like I'm missing anything. And Python package management is so easy and simple if you stick to that (well, except version conflicts, but that's always a pain somehow).

Limit it to 3 stories, at most 1/3 or 1/4. You can build really good looking midrises that integrate pretty well with the environment (and you do not need elevator for 3 to 4 stories midrises, it keeps the cost low. Also maybe the US should chill out on the staircase requirement too).

> It doesn't beat RTX 4090 when it comes to actual LLM inference speed

Sure, whisper.cpp is not an LLM. The 4090 can't even do inference at all on anything over 24GB, while ASi can chug through it even if slightly slower.

I wonder if with https://github.com/tinygrad/open-gpu-kernel-modules (the 4090 P2P patches) it might become a lot faster to split a too-large model across multiple 4090s and still outperform ASi (at least until someone at Apple does an MLX LLM).
This was also a standard technique on American plantations, then adapted to the industrial economy in the form of Taylorist time-and-motion studies. If you trace modern management practice, it is basically a straight line back to chattel slavery.
I've been through this.

The "Computer Systems Analyst" TN profession is the usual path there (though rather weird). You need letters from your previous employers that you worked for 3 years full time. Some colleges in the US can even give you a degree equivalency on that basis.

> if a US company were interested in hiring me, they would handle the visa requirements (I'm unsure if this would be TN or otherwise).

They would (one can even do pre-approval), but some of them need handholding, and there's only so much they can do. But sometimes you might be surprised by the magic they can do (ex: doing the equivalency work).
