The core issue is software freedom. Software, when it’s commercial, is something you basically give control of your hardware to and you have to trust that it won’t abuse that power. Or, you dont even use your own hardware, and you just send your data in an even more opaque way to the cloud. Will it be misused?

Typically, yes, egregiously. We need either computing platforms that sandbox things fully, or else full control over our software. And an end to these Eula’s Eula’s that, let’s be honest, could ask for anything and we couldn’t say no. Even governments get stuck here and can’t refuse

GlitchTip is very simplistic and miles away from Sentry.
We really wanted to keep using it, since it was easy to selfhost, but the UI was not giving enough information from a dev perspective to be very useful : grouping, filtering and labeling issues is very basic, which prevents understanding.

We decided to self host sentry, which is an absolute beast to deploy, the open-source helm chart is nowhere near production level, and the underlying technologies are quite hard to maintain (Kafka, zookeeper, clickhouse...). We had to work on it constantly for two months to stabilize it, and now fear the moment we'll want to update. The dev teams love it, so it was worth the hassle!

Yes and so what makes the most sense is to make the tax increase with the 4th power of vehicle weight multiplied by the miles they travel. This way there are no perverse incentives. Everyone pays their fair share according to how much damage they cause.
It seems like a decent but pretty narrow collection of exercises that over-represents its breadth, so I'm wondering what the vision is (why 'wiki' if its internally maintained content?) and what the purpose is in having this new generator generate programs for undeveloped content categories.
Compiled can mean many things. For instance it can mean that only the parsing is done at compile time, leaving the rest for runtime.

If performed correctly, maybe. I'm not convinced that street sweeping in most cities much but a low-level scam so the city can cash in on parking violations. In LA, I've seen street sweepers my whole life going around and mostly kicking around dry material and moving so fast that they barely pick up anything, often followed by a parking enforcer some kind of golf cart type vehicle. Street sweeping makes more sense when the debris is big and wet enough to be swept up, which may not be the case for most tire debris. If it's tire particulate, street sweeping might make things worse by making it more airborne.
Indeed this is unsurprising given how LLMs work. I mean if you ask a human to generate a random number, and then reset the universe and all state of the human and ask again, you will get the same number.

But instead if I ask it to generate 100 samples, it actually works pretty well.

"You are a weighted random choice generator. About 80% of the time please say ‘left’ and about 20% of the time say ‘right’. Generate 100 samples of either "left" or "right". Do not say anything else. "

I got 71 left, and 27 right.

And if I ask for 50%, 50%. I get 56 lefts and 44 rights.
Its not politics insomuch as its a theory of organized society. You believe in a system of control. You make a claim that control is necessary for you to be protected from irrational actors.

Instead of argue with you, because I do really think that's a hard and in depth argument, I'm telling you about those like me who don't believe control is necessary for society. So much so that I think you should be able to disagree with me, and the only limiting factor here is land/area/which society.

I predict that you will fall victim to the control you want to protect you, and can think of no better way to prove my argument than have you live it.

The book you're thinking of is likely "In the Country of Last Things" by Paul Auster. While not a collection of short stories, this novel often gets mentioned in relation to discussions about Auster's work involving themes of dystopia and allegorical narratives. The reference to Noah's Ark might be metaphorical, reflecting the themes of catastrophe and survival that are common in Auster's work. If you specifically remember a collection of short stories involving Noah's Ark, it could be another author or a less known work of Auster, as his major works don't typically revolve around this theme directly in the form of short stories.

I’m not confident this is correct!
It's like most things can be done right - If anyone just cared to! And when I run into something done right, it's so refreshing.

But most things we interact with are done half-assedly, or are MVPs, or are deliberately made to a stupid spec, or don't prioritize the user, etc... there are a million ways to mess it up - usually by not even trying - and the result is draining.
Ok, my bad. I just found it important for me and other possible applicants.

Such an experiment has happened and well-documented here: https://htmx.org/essays/a-real-world-react-to-htmx-port/.

Hopefully continuity (of relevant features) would be the results of the training process, eventually. In videos from the wild, the number of buttons on a shirt basically never changes during a scene. That kind of information is in the training data already. So it is theoretically possible for a model to learn that should stay consistent, in contrast to other properties that affect the shirt, like lighting or pose. But we are still in the very early days of kinda-working video generation, and certainly in terms of temporal consistency.

C/C++ sucks to write dev tooling (e.g. syntax highlighting, LSPs, static analyzers) for. Pretty much everyone leans on libclang for parsing because very few people are insane enough to try to reimplement a parser themselves, let alone all the GNU extensions. And even then, macros make robust parsing really difficult. Imagine trying to parse a file that contains two programming languages that can be arbitrarily interleaved at almost the character level. That's basically what C/C++ are.

It may be an under count but probably not by any huge amount. Although there are a much larger number of people that are desperately poor.

Japan has a relatively low cost of living (especially in rural areas), reasonably good social safety net, low drug use, high levels of familial support, and other factors that make it remarkable. It's pretty hard to become homeless.

But even in the US, where all factors are far worse, there is a surprisingly small percentage of the population that is homeless. The absolute numbers are much smaller than most people would guess (even accounting for under counting).

We tend to focus and exaggerate homelessness because it is so visible. Poverty in general is a much bigger and worse problem everywhere.
Yep, especially where T-Mobile 5G and cough Starlink cough aren't truly viable options.
Why do you think it's a good thing that I must have a bottle with me in order to drink from a public water fountain?

To be clear, I think fountains should do both direct drink and bottle fill-up.
(Yes 71 + 27 != 100, but that LLMs can't count is a whole other issue)
Upon what do you base that doubt? Wikipedia cites homeless advocates in Japan contesting the number, claming it's as high as... 5,000. Which is still pretty neat.
My prompt didn't even ask for code:

> You are a weighted random choice generator. About 80% of the time please say ‘left’ and about 20% of the time say ‘right’. Simply reply with left or right. Do not say anything else. Give me 100 of these random choices in a row.

It generated the code behind the scenes and gave me the output. It also gave a little terminal icon I could click at the end to see the code it used:

import numpy as np

# Setting up choices and their weights
choices = ['left', 'right']
weights = [0.8, 0.2]

# Generating 100 random choices based on the specified weights
random_choices = np.random.choice(choices, 100, p=weights)
random_choices
I think the problem is not "rest and vest" but an immense amount of red tape and performative work that just eats time from anything productive.

When you have so manye levels and each level needs to demonstrate impact by creating meetings, documents, reviews etc - everything is roadblocked.

Not to say we don't need reviews but people get discouraged when management doesn't actively try to make lives easier. This shows up as "rest and vest" aka no one is going to care about roadblocks if the people above won't care about it.

Useful tools for startupers: AI and emerging tech
We just spent a week in Japan and did not stay only in tourist areas, my Apple Watch logged our walks as around 10-15 miles per day.

Over the entire week, I saw one obviously homeless person, one “maybe” and no encampments. It really was striking coming from the United States. ~3,000 homeless may be low, but they have drastically fewer than us.

Nothing about those features is specific to this device. OpenAI can do it in their app, or Google/Apple as a built in phone integration. In fact those companies have more data, more compute, more experience and more end users which matters a lot for AI. And most importantly, OpenAI/Google/Apple can basically get app developers to add any missing details into their apps. Rabbit can't.
That would amount to a tax on (among other vehicles) electric vehicles, which weight a lot more than comparable ICE cars.
> Google apparently fired some 20+ employees who either weren't involved the protest at all, or whose alleged participation remains unclear

Maybe that's true, maybe it's not, but there is deep information asymmetry here and google has all the advantage and must have anticipated that this would end up in discovery and litigation and that the records of the terminated people's employment would be subject to it. That means their chat history, their email history and office surveillance footage.

I have a hard time believing that google would have fired people where the sum of their recorded actions couldn't be reasonably construed to be disruptive.

There's a lot of cases where Puppet fails on something similar. Packages is probably the easiest example. Puppet won't remove all package not explicitly declared, nor will it remove files it created, if you remove the Puppet code for managing that file.

I'm fairly sure that the way to make Puppet do what you suggest is the same in Puppet and Ansible. The difference is that Puppet is smart enough to not actually remove you file during every run (I think). On the other hand, Ansible will normally not be configured to run every 30 minutes like Puppet, so it's much less of an issue.

Both tools are great but they work some what differently. How you think about using them is much the same though, you need to tell the computer what to do. In Puppet this is often talked about is if you describe the state, I suppose that's partly true, but in the end you have a series of actions the computer will need to take to achieve this state.

I'm tired of viewing taxes as a punishment. Taxes are for funding the government. If you're going to tax someone make sure the money goes to something specific, like keeping tire junk out of waterways.

Some people like to drive, some people like big cars. Fix the tires, grand-daddy in all the existing cars, incentivize cleaner ones, and let everything age out.

They're doing it with heat pumps, why not cars?

It is at the point where for me when they ask for a take home, it is a self selecting: Thanks but no thanks.

I can spend time answering your take-home, or trying to get other interviews. From what I've seen on take homes: Other interviews are strongly EV+.

Before you go: But you never got a job off a take home, that's why. I did. It was one of the worst managed misfits I've had. I am sure others thrived there, for me it was a living hell, that didn't even pay that great.

So... Much like requiring a suit to interview and a few other things. It goes in my bin of "Your company has performed self selection."

Note: I will leetcode, at least there is a human there, we're talking, interacting, and I am learning about the company.. But most of all, that feel of: I put up and hour, you put up an hour. Let's talk. Is very real.
Exactly. Only trust random numbers and/or probability via processes that have been vetted to be either (somewhat) random or follow a probabilistic algorithm. Humans are generally terrible at randomness and probability except in cases where they have been well trained, and even then those people would rather run an algorithm.
