> Some people are commenting on how small our network is.

I'm currently in a city, and when I open the map it gives me a circle telling me that there are 1,807 people using tile in that circle. This city population is a bit shy of 1 million, and while the circle doesn't cover it all it does cover the densest parts, so if we conservatively say 400,000 people in that circle then that means that the percentage of people with the app is about 0.45%. Now I don't know if the Life360 users are included in that count, that said I also have never heard of anyone who uses it here.

As an aside, I do wish the app were able to update more often. I have a tile tracker on my bike (and obviously the app on my phone), and I can leave a place, bike ten minutes to home, lock up the bike, go inside, and the app will often still tell me that my bike is where it was before I rode it home. I guess there's a battery tradeoff there though.
Which is why there are laws around what knives are allowed and what are banned. Or how we design knifes to be secure. Or how we have a common understanding what we do with knifes - and what not. Such as not giving them to toddlers... So what's your point?

> Your only priority would be to kill as many Russians as possible to survive.

How would killing anyone (Russians or Chinese or whatever) would help you survive?

A boots-on-the-ground invasion of the USA is absolutely not a realistic prospect. In case a war goes hot ICBMs is the thing you should worry about.

Honestly I just don't understand what you imagine might happen where "kill as many Russians as possible" is the path to survival for someone residing in the USA.
In Postgres listen/notify are inherently lossy channels — if a notification goes out while a listener wasn't around to receive it, it's gone, so they should never be relied upon in cases where data consistency is at stake.

I find that the main thing they're useful for is notifying on particular changes so that components that care about them can decrease the time until they process those changes, and without sitting in a hot loop constantly polling tables.

For example, I wrote a piece here [1] describe how we use the notifier to listen for feature flag changes so that each running program can update its flag cache. Those programs could be sitting in loops reloading flags once a second looking for changes, but it's wasteful and puts unnecessary load on the database. Instead, each listens for notifications indicating that some flag state changed, then reloads its flag cache. They also reload every X seconds so that some periodic synchronization happens in case an update notification was missed (e.g. a notifier temporarily dropped offline).

Job queues are another example. You'll still be using `SKIP LOCKED` to select jobs to work, but listen/notify makes it faster to find out that a new job became available.

[1] https://brandur.org/fragments/instant-feature-flags
The only tradeoff here is the pure NOTIFY approach (if you don't care about losing notifications) can sit there on a single connection, and probably performs a bit better than having a bunch of workers in contention for that connection (at which point you don't really need SKIP LOCKED anyway). But ultimately tuning the level of parallelism of your worker pool and how many connections to dedicate to it doesn't seem a huge hardship.
So, in general Claude still beats newest GPT-4o model in software development category, right? [1]

Although new GPT is better at small coding excercises (72.9% vs 68.4%), it falls behind in more challenging refactoring tasks (62.9% vs 72.3%).

I used Claude through VPN from Europe, and from the start could see it was much better than GPT-4, in my limited very subjective use cases.

There is a lot of cultural pressure around men taking leave even if it is available.

Shinjirō Koizumi caused controversy when he took two weeks of his family leave as a minister because Japanese men never take it due to cultural reasons even though they are legally entitled to a full year of paternal leave. https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/16/asia/japan-koizumi-paternity-...

And he was the son of a former prime minister, so even he was not powerful enough to be immune from criticism of this kind
Since you are explicitly asking for cheapest: a used Motorola Moto G7 Play can be gotten very cheap. Alternatively, a used Pixel 3a. You probably find something cheaper from Xiaomi, but I'd stay clear as unlocking the bootloader is not pleasant on these devices.

Personally, I would aim a little higher though. I run it on a Pixel 4a and am quite happy. (Don't get the Pixel 4/XL since those do not have a fingerprint reader but only Face Unlock, which the latest LineageOS does not support.)
But that’s the selfishness I’m talking about. If a professional career is even in the cards for someone, then they started with a huge (and unearned) cognitive advantage over others. But they’re not going to have kids because they might have to compromise their lifestyle? (Or regard living like a normal person equivalent to “ruin?”)

That’s what I’m calling selfish. These people could have kids. They just choose to prioritize their lifestyle, and the pursuit of their individual career. They forgo the fundamental pillar of the human experience for marginally better odds at a career that makes some giant corporation marginally more money.

I implemented a queue using both LISTEN/NOTIFY for notifications to the task processor and SKIP LOCKED to sift through the pending tasks in the tasks table.

I think you can eliminate polling if you don't need to retry tasks, by simply processing pending tasks at startup and then just responding to LISTEN events. However, I'm curious if there are any alternatives to polling the queue in cases where you need to support retrying tasks at a given timestamp.
That's a different conversation, I doubt you can really trust telegram either.

Also don't forget that most people back their stuff to Google Drive/iCloud anyways, so it's not like it's impossible to access.

Thank you so much for the PSA. I have been in and out of the keyboard settings screen many times since the update but could not find what was causing the single-tap word selection. Jeeez, talk about an unbelievably annoying feature. Especially bad is how tapping anywhere after the last word in a text area gets interpreted as tapping ON that word, making it impossible to return to the end of an open paragraph with single-tap cursor movement.

My sweet summer child, you are in for a world of disappointment.

We hear rosy plans like this all the time. They don't come true. In China, for example, nuclear construction has been way behind the statements, and this was before the latest massive reductions in PV and (particularly) storage costs. India has had a long history of all talk, little action on nuclear, and now PV is exploding there. In the US, generous federal subsides and loan guarantees were and are going unused. The problem is getting anyone to actually commit, and they don't because nuclear just doesn't make any financial sense.

I've never rooted mine, running LineageOS since 2016 + minimal Google services. There was a period when my bank's app suddenly decided things weren't "safe" and refused to run but this was many years ago - no issues since.

Might be cultural, but I would prefer a neutral tone. The friendly tone gives some expectation of good result of the inquiry or of implication, which makes it worse when the problem is not solvable or not in the power of agent to solve - which many times it is - you don't call support for simple problems.

Of course I agree that "angry" is in most cases not appropriate, but still, I can see cases in which it might, for example, if the caller is really aggressive, curses, or blames unreasonably the agent, the agent could become angry. Training people that everybody will answer them "friendly" no matter their behavior does not sound good for me.

BMW and Mercedes both sell more cars per year and both have higher profit per vehicle than Tesla:

ACM also found misleading countdown timers used in the Item Shop to put pressure on kids. In many cases, the item was still available at the same price after the timer reached zero. “Children were thus put under pressure to make purchase decisions quickly because they were under the impression that they would otherwise miss out on the items on offer,” the ACM said, fining Epic Games 562,500 for that violation.

There's a solution. All these iPadOS problems can be solved by installing macOS. Look, we now have touch pad support (and keyboards since long ago).

There's no technical problem for Apple. It's ONLY that they don't want us to use macOS on iPads. There's really no excuse.

Reasoning and planning are different things. It's certainly getting quite good at deductive reasoning, especially when forced to check it's own arguments for flaws every time it states something. (I had a several hour chat with it yesterday, and I was very impressed about the progress.)

Planning is different in that it is an essential part of agency. That's what Q* is supposed to add. My guess is that planning is the next type of functionality to be added to GPT. I wouldn't be surprised if they already have a version internally with such functionality, but that they've decided to hold it back for now for reasons such as safety (some may care about the election this year) or simply that the inference costs are so huge they cannot possibly expose it publicly.
Got it, thanks for the reply. The feature flag cache reload use case seems like reasonable one to me.
Yeah but then also take it further.

They originate from modern society & it's need to cater to sensitivities. And that's a sentiment that's in general pretty well supported here.

It's the likes of Elon, hated here, that are the one's fighting this.

LLM's censorship is a symptom of a much wider problem. For instance we see it partially causing lots of mental anxiety: the world should bent to my anxiety instead of learning to deal with stress. But also in much more difficult topics that simply can't be discussed anymore and therefore continue to fester on.
LLMs augumented with RAG has great potential for docs as well.

Have a problem, ask the LL
and it will reference the docs. So you don’t have to read through 40 pages just to find an answer.

Some products already make use of it for their docs. More will in the future.

The advantage then is that you can have up to date docs that the LLM can pull from and be able to hopefully accurately pinpoint relevant docs and summarize an answer for the user.

I also think some startups will come that focus on providing this kind of service. Probably several such startups exist already even. Similar to how there are some companies from before LLMs existed that focused purely on better access to docs of open source products.

Would ask myself these questions:

Can he actually stir trouble with the 5%?

His initial stake was worth $50k. How much has the company value changed during his incompetence?

Is there anything else that can motivate him (such as a “left by mutual agreement” clause)? How much would that be worth for you?

Does the investor have any advice or can support?

If you offer a lower amount than 50, will that hamper your next financing round? Can such a deal be made confidentially?
Or just ask them to tell them something only you both know (a story from childhood, etc). Reminds me of a book where this sort of thing was common (don't remember the title):

1. something you have

2. something you know

3. something you are

These three things are required for any authz.
Add a keyboard is an answer. On-screen keyboard will always be more limited, but I can accept that, as long as it’s good enough for situations where i can’t use an external keyboard. In situations where I know I will have to do a lot of text entry, it’s easy enough to add a keyboard, or use dictation. I use the same Bluetooth mechanical keyboard, Nuphy air 75, on both my MacBook Pro and my iPad, so keyboard experience is same for both, and both come with a suboptimal keyboard out of the box, including the MacBook Pro.
I think you're being overly biased and ideological. Most platforms don't give you a single cent even if you have millions of followers. Monetization is something you need to sort out on your own.

Expecting to have few thousand views, which equate to few $, and have Youtube cover the expenses of reviewing your channel/content and paying the transaction fees on such small amounts is a bit silly. How is Youtube preying on content creators there, by denying them a McDonald's menu before paying them out?

The threshold is extremely low and I don't think you're giving Youtube the due credit of providing you a platform with many tools and a gargantuan audience potential.

I don't understand their api not being intended for individual use [0], are developers supposed to use this subscription only? The haiku model is pretty good for the price + available large context, and the opus/sonnet models are in the league of gpt-4, so I would have liked to pay for the api. I've moved on to llama 3 70B as a daily driver and it works really well! The only issue is it's small context size and it doesn't work great if you give it a lot of files to work with. Currently I'm forced to break down problems a lot more than I had to with gpt-4 or the claude models.

I know I can access the claude api through 3rd party sites + official partners, but there's no incentive to go through the trouble when llama 3 and gpt-4 apis work great for my use cases.

For many people it would be better to choose specific personal secrets due to the amount of info online. I'm not a very active social media user, and what little I post tends not to be about me, but from reading 15 year old Facebook posts made by friends of mine you could definitely find at least one example on each of those categories. Hell, I think probably even from old work-related LinkedIn posts.
Some of the example data here is surprisingly similar to the Oracle default tables. The EMP table in particular seems to just be an extended version of the original.
Interesting. I feel like I can consciously choose to like or dislike people. Once you get to know people better, your image of them evolves, and the decision to continue liking them is made repeatedly every time that image changes.
