I’m increasingly cold on ORMs existing to abstract away the specifics of your DBMS. In my entire career I think I’ve seen one migration between different databases (MySQL to Postgres), and it was an undertaking despite using an ORM.

Where I do appreciate ORMs is in being able to bridge between the relational world of SQL and the object oriented or functional world of the application. Occasionally I’ll decide an application is stupidly simple and it’s not worth the overhead of an ORM, I’ll just write SQL directly. I regret it every single time, because inevitably I end up implementing a half-baked ORM to make the results usable in the application layer.

And yes, as you say, regardless of an ORM you need to understand the database underneath and the SQL being generated. I’ve seen so many developers who are completely baffled by why their code is running slowly when a quick EXPLAIN will surface the fact they’re doing a sequential scan over several million rows of data.
Surge protectors do have one magical electrical thingy in them: metal oxide varistors (MOVs). They're what shunt current in an overvoltage transient and they do age with usage.

Decentralized communication absolutely works, and we have plenty of decentralized tools now. Decentralized search is a legitimately hard problem, both because it needs strong protocols (which are getting there but still WIP) and user adoption (which isn't really happening).
Cars are a poor example. There are some pretty wild safety issues in the car industry.

In the U.S., energy efficiency regulations are weak, so car companies push huge SUVs and light pickups as the "perfect" family vehicles. These things are massive and not crash-compatible with normal-sized cars. If a big SUV hits you, you're in more danger than if it was a regular station wagon. Plus, those off-road capabilities mean they can hop a curb and take out a pedestrian. And the insane height? It's a nightmare for visibility. You can't see kids or pets in front of you. That's led to some awful driveway accidents.

"Fully self-driving" cars aren't really self-driving, you still need to keep an eye on them, but the marketing suggests otherwise. A few self-driving cars occasionally emergency brake on a highway. Big modern touch screens in cars look sleek, tactile controls offer a safer and more intuitive way to adjust settings without taking your eyes off the road. Some cars such as the Fisker Ocean are unnecessarily unreliable, where the gear, brake, etc. system casually stop working while driving, asking you, the driver, to take a mental note of that and to please not shift gears for a while, for example.

And don't get me started on car lights. Why is it that brake lights and turn signals can both be red? Why is it that they can share the same light? It's a mess. Then there's the remote control features with garbage access controls. There's been cases where someone remotely turned off a car's engine while it was driving. Talk about a scary security vulnerability.
this is an amazingly long way of saying , have good freecashflow
It doesn't do conditional processing of only out of date dependencies though, which is something that is often needed.
> The UFO community is synonymous with gullible crackpots and conspiracy loons.

It's worse than that. There's definitely a religious element to their beliefs. The UAP hearings last summer suggest that there's "UFO-believers" in leadership positions in the Department of defense. These people are SPENDING GOVERNMENT MONEY on insane fiascos and have been able to get a lot of attention lately.

The AARO report (https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/37...) goes into detail.

The sad thing is that some politicians have latched on to this and are using it to appease their conspiracy-laden constituencies.
You can set up a free Cloudflare plan and use their nameservers. Or if you have a Linode account you can add the domain there and use theirs.
funny - for many TLDs isn't this exactly what you get if you register a domain with Amazon? I know they are the ICANN registrar for some, but many you use say, Gandi and get an auto Route53 zone setup.
that looks great
Does anyone have suggestions for a good registrar for domains? I'm not interested in the squarespace hosting products and I don't think they are great at being a registrar / dns provider.
I use Inkscape. And if I miss something then it is Xara Xtreme or the former free version vor linux

But what does it mean to optimize an SVG?
it pains me to object because Cloudflare truly has some great products and services, but if there's something worse than google controlling the internet, it's Cloudflare.

It is very common for the atmosphere to have wind blowing in multiple directions between the different layers, called shear. Usually the jet stream will be around 90 degrees offset from the layers above or below it. If you open up https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs and click or select any region to get into the model sounding viewer, there will be wind direction barbs off to the right of the map that show the shear vertically.
I don't volunteer to be in situations that I know ahead of time I can't handle without potentially lethal risk to the other participant, is the difference here.

In fact I do volunteer to be in similar situations for different reasons, and part of that decision is the acknowledgement that as the only guaranteed willing participant, it is my responsibility to bear the risk of the encounter.

I don't get where cops and, apparently, some EMTs find the mentality of "I choose to be here, so I may harm you to ensure my safety." Simply choose not to be there! Do something else with your evenings my man.
Exactly!. It can be written in any language, Cobol if you want, it does not matter. Once compiled the "gas" does the actual magic, not Go.
My gut says no because of the way language relates to meaning.
In language, a “chair” is a chair is a chair. But in meaning, a chair is not-a-stool, and not-a-couch, and not-a-bench etc. We understand the object largely by what the object is similar to but not.

In order for the LLM to meaningfully model what is coherent, empathetic, free from bias, it must also model the close to, but NOT-that.
Given the sheer number of individuals and methods of studying nature: certainly.

Anyone who's studied math or statistics for more than two minutes could answer that.
I've enjoyed switching everything I can to Cloudflare Domains. They sell at-cost.
At the time it was just the convenience of getting it done and moving on since I’ve been using it for over a decade. Next year I will probably just use WealthSimple, since I have fair amount of investments with WS anyway.

> Why pay more though?

Why indeed? Your bosses must love you defending your own mistreatment. You should put this quote on your CV.

> you can always work less.

Do you honestly think you can tell that to a person struggling financially while working 3 jobs?

> most of the well off people I know are a lot more lonely.

In a society of such aggressive wealth disparity as ours, a result of underpaying and overworking the majority of the population, a lot of wealthy people self isolate, and become lonely, because they had to harm others to get that wealth or are afraid the poors will try to take it from them.

Do those wealthy people somehow deserve my sympathy, or the focus of the efforts of this scientific inquiry, more than the people working multiple jobs yet are unable to ever retire?
I’ve always used Cloudflare for DNS and Google Domains for registration, which worked great for me.

When I heard about Google selling domains to square Space I migrated all my domains to Cloudflare Domain Registrar.

Now I’m running with a single point of success.
Good to see a $2T market cap company doesn't have enough revenue to retrain and reassign these employees. I'd hate to think what the shareholders would have to endure had they not done layoffs.
> it won't (logistically can't) work when you have literally run out.

While I believe you're correct for the iPhone, that it won't work, it's actually not as impossible as you suggest. The NFC-capable BlackBerrys that supported the very early tap-to-pay with a phone had the concept of a default card, which could be programmed onto the secure element and would work even if the phone was totally dead (even if the battery was removed). The NFC field was enough power to boot up the secure element, just like it's enough power to run the chip in your bank card when you tap it.

Later phones dropped this support, as it took a bunch of engineering effort and customers largely didn't care. But if customers ever start demanding it, so they can totally stop carrying a bank/credit card, it is possible.
It’s also hard to achieve interstellar travel in the first place, so if you grant an alien civilization the ability to harness energy to that degree, it doesn’t seem incomprehensible to grant them the ability to control/harness maneuvering ability to enter our solar system.

(I’m on the side of “we will die out before ever interacting with intelligent alien life”, but I still think it’s non-zero.)
Not only their nameservers, but I just found out that Cloudflare is also a registrar with a policy I like "at-cost pricing for registration and renewal."

I'm not sure how their tools are yet but my hope would be pretty good as I doubt there's a DNS configuration out there that CF hasn't seen yet.
It's been a long time since I thought about any of this, but last time I did, social media traffic was some of the worst quality. Search traffic was seen as golden because it came with intent. Social media traffic was wandering and aimless, so converted poorly even if it was 1000x search. Search still got more conversions and it was no contest. Did something change?
> For example, consider if everyone had as much clothes as they need. Then only occasional replacements would suffice

The challenge is that clothes rapidly progress beyond "need" into "wants". Being "fashionable" is very roughly a human constant. One of the very very first things that we industrialized was textile and clothing production, and then we continued to keep facing fashion and clothing churn.

I think it would very challenging to regulate clothing into a strict need.
It does end at level 15.

Congrats on finishing Equinox!
Make is conceptually great but brings a lot of legacy baggage. You often need to set up .PHONY targets, reset .SUFFIXES, and/or set MAKEFLAGS += --no-builtin-rules. There's also dollar-symbol variables (which plague Perl and shell as well) which made lots of sense in the 1970s with teletypes but hinder readability today (what the hell was $@ again?).
Lync* actually, so imagine talking about new things coming to the System.Linq namespace and the migration to Lync from MSN Messenger at a .NET shop in the late 2000s, confusing the heck out of everyone.
Tab completion of targets is usually done by a separate package, not by GNU make itself: bash-completion.
> broken group messaging between iMessage and Android was the primary driver of my desire to get an iPhone

I'm not a group messenger, and basically mute any group messages I'm a part of, so please excuse my ignorance. What's actually broken between iOS and Android with group messaging? Are Android-only group messages better? Will RCS improve this at all?
I'm talking about general attitudes of consumers of software as a software developer that depends on people buying software to pay bills. You kept trying to make this about me personally not paying for software when you have no idea where I spend my money on - rather than address the fact that people do have less willingness to pay for software. Do you think you'll be more or less successful at selling your software if you understood your buyers more and call them cheap less?
I've been thinking about running ZFS on root. I've been running ZFS on my NAS for ages and been very happy, but I've also seen many posts on the mailing list about people suddenly being unable to boot with ZFS root systems after some update. As much as I love ZFS, it's a very complex beast, and that makes me a bit wary using it in that role.

However in theory it would be great, I think. So I'm considering trying that on my secondary box soon.
I'm on Google Domains right now, was disappointed when I heard the change to SS, and have been putting off moving to someone else before the transfer but want to now. What are other registrars other there that I should move my domains to? I've heard good things about porkbun.
Interestingly, that's how squaresapce left my DNS (pointing to google NS) after the migration.

That, since your kids aren't likely to become the next Leonardo da Vinci, they shouldn't play outside? That playing in the woods as a child isn't a substitute for a world-class education later in life?

Did they teach you that at the university?

Because I'm pretty sure nobody else here is equating playing in the woods as a kid with becoming a famous artist and engineer later in life.
You can implement Doom in a spreadsheet too, so what? That wasn’t the point op or I were making. If you bother to read the sentence before op talks about spreadsheets they are making the conjecture that LLMs are lookup tables operating on the corpus they were trained on. That is the aspect of spreadsheets they were comparing them to, not the fact that spreadsheets can be used to implement anything that any other programming language can. Might as well say they are basically just arrays with some functions in between, yeah no shit.

Which LLMs can’t produce rhyming pairs? Both the current ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 seem to be able to generate as many as I ask for. Was this a failure mode at some point?
Thanks, there are no such plans at the moment.

Yes, we relied on UA-based mobile detection which worked back then but a few years ago Apple stopped treating iPadOS as mobile, and we never patched this.
When I hear input like this I get excited by our emerging talent, going forward we should be prepared to leverage this.
I don't argue it. The behavior of consumers shows it. I'm just noticing it and sharing my observation which you're free to disagree with, but I think digging on this rather than calling our customers cheap will only advance our cause. You should learn to separate the person from the argument.
The movie is awful but the book is a lot of fun and features last months Eclipse in the opening scene.

Nice, you're absolutely right
Could this be a problem in the Sabre code, from the early 1960's? (pre-Y2k updates). American and Sabre separated their businesses in 2000, but some code might be in use.

American Airlines developed Sabre in conjunction with IBM. The project was famously started by the chance encounter of an IBM salesman and the American Airlines president being seated next to each other on a flight in 1957.
I'm not affiliated with SEO in an way. I just understand how things work. Advertorial articles existed decades before the emergence of the web.
Nonsense. Case in point: Nordstream 2. Something that USA heavily opposed and EU pushed through anyway. But Putin doesn't want to be a partner, he wants to be a tzar at the cost of anything.

USA has its own imperial goals but it's pure whataboutism and has nothing to do with reason why Russia is degrading back to 19th century today.
Mise/rtx doesn't cut it for us. It's approach is shell-based, so if your programs launch sub-processes, mise won't be applied. So for example Node scripts running in version 18 might npm run a process, which gets launched with the system node.js version.

Where-as asdf creates shims that go into the PATH. That way any processes launching processes using normal env rules have asdf applied.

Mise looks well built & is very fast. But it's jaw dropping to me that it's coverage is so drastically lower than asdf.

They used a cheese substitute or in the US a “cheese product”. Although I think cheese product still has to have at least some actual cheese in it but I’m not sure. It’s not really cheese. Maybe if it had a football team that could beat Alabama it would be.

Climax Blue — which is served in restaurants including Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park in New York — wasn’t made from the milk of cows or goats, but rather a blend of ingredients including pumpkin seeds, lima beans, hemp seeds, coconut fat and cocoa butter.

That people known for their solutions often spend time considering the problems and prior art, or that playing in the woods as a child equates to a mastery of engineering, philosophy, and art later in life.

I'm not sure which. It's very hard to say, especially since none of us are LeonardoDaVinciologists.

It was only when it flew directly over the lake we were staying at that we saw it was a cargo plane.
Absolutely love the book “Learn Physics with Functional Programming”.

Uses Haskell, and teaches it so knowing Haskell is an unnecessary prerequisite, though familiarity with programming in general would be very beneficial, and focuses on 2D and 3D visualisation.

Personally, I like Namecheap. They offer really robust DNS configuration, extraordinarily low TTLs, and they have a dashboard that isn’t complete trash. I’ve learned over time that outside of exorbitant exceptions, the prices are irrelevant. Essentially, I don’t chase domain promotions. I’ve also never observed them participating in typical registrar skeez. Their email reminders/notifications and MFA are also nice.
AI Automated Alert Correlation
Wow, the comparisons to The Jungle Book are interesting, this is a globally well-known philosophical work.

For me two of the main points it analyzes are:

1. Can a person without language and without God’s Words transferred to him, reason and still find Him? Answer, of course, is yes.

2. Comparison between surface level understanding of the God’s Word vs. its “real,” hidden meaning. The two people Hayy meets symbolizes the two: Salaman, the first (representing the Sunni followers of Shariah) and Absal, the second (the Sufi, follower of the Tasawwuf). Hayy himself represents the Philosopher, I.e. pure reason.

This dichotomy goes right to the heart of Islamic thought. Hayy, first tries to teach his understanding to the inhabitants of the island rules by Salaman but then sees the futility of it and leaves with Absal.

Too bad the English Wikipedia page gives such a limited summary of the plot.

Ibn Tufail based this novel on a story that was translated from Greek to Arabic by Hunayn Ibn Ishaq (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunayn_ibn_Ishaq).
Happy with Cloudflare and Porkbun for domains that CF doesn't support.

Both have great API and fair pricing.
Yep, create a small closed off community that shames outsiders and you can have what you want. Everything in it will be local and very much a bubble. It won't have the failure modes of a Google or Facebook though. So I guess pick your poison.

It looks like though the cars could mostly cruise around the track autonomously without issue, they couldn't deal with issues like safely rejoining once spinning out.

Also they seems to be spinning out too frequently, apparently the software isn't able to keep the tires in the right temperature window for the right amount of traction. But that may not be a difficult issue to fix.
This was my first year paying taxes with a full year's worth of paying a mortgage (which means it's also the year with the most mortgage interest paid). The mortgage deduction didn't matter, the standard deduction was still higher.

It used to matter more, before the Trump tax plan significantly increased the standard deduction. The mortgage deduction is bad tax policy but it's hard to get rid of.

LoRA+: Efficient Low Rank Adaptation of Large Models
I moved all my domains to Cloudflare, but one .dev is still stuck with Google for being a premium domain.

No word on migrating it to Squarespace for me for some reason.
It's not nofollow links. It's content behind a login wall. If the content can't be found with a crawler it might as well not exist. So sites like Facebook and Xitter that block a significant amount content for non-logged in users are the problem.
The question was, why doe EITC exist, not is the reason still relevant today (although I'd argue it is). The additional medicare taxex you mention have only existed for about ten years, EITC goes back to the 1960s as I recall.

Do Cloudflare still restrict you to only their nameservers?
Midi being an “artist” tool places it more as a medium like paint. The artist was able to use it to build complex worlds.

MIDI’s cousin RS-422 existed in a technical environment but probably enjoys as much use as MIDI but technicians have many protocols to choose from. the artist just needs to get it speak MIDI to feel in control and the artist generally has fewer stakeholders, which I believe helps maintain continuity of an implementation.
My biggest mistake was trusting Google. When I heard the news, I migrated all my domains to Cloudflare/Namecheap.

My intuitive understanding of transformers is that each token (input+output) gives the model some "thinking space" that can be used to store reasoning information (independently of the token): thus, a transformer should be more clever when completing a 1000 tokens sequence than a 2 tokens sequence. This seems in line with the paper's finding.
