This is pretty fun. Kinda wonder if it has to be so slow to update given that everything is local. Or does it have to do a round trip to the server on every click?

Bug report: this gives a yellow square for a letter that should be gray, when that letter occurs elsewhere in the word and the guess already has it in the right place. So e.g. if the word is ABCDE and you guess ABCDD it gives green for the first D and yellow for the second D (which should be gray).
Are they the only people working there? No? Then this is sad and dangerous but not a 'prisoner' problem, not essentially.

For a prisoner to choose a dangerous job working like many other regular citizens, is not a punishment.

Democrats are only “center right” if you focus on economic issues, which isn’t actually where they spend their political capital. Democrats are to the left of the French when it comes to issues like abortion, race relations, immigration, rioting, and similar social order issues. Case in point: marijuana is still illegal in France, even for medical use.

U.S. Democrats are in fact radical about these issues, insofar as they see them as matters of fundamental morality that are outside the political process altogether. In virtually all of Europe, for example, it is well accepted that abortion is a type of social regulation that can be put to a vote just like any other type of social regulation. But U.S. Democrats denounce putting abortion to a vote as a “far right” position.

For my part, I've been building an AI agent that watches the daily change feed from clinicaltrials.gov and sends out a personalized newsletter that filters for specific trials and answers specific questions about those matched trials: https://zeeq.ai. Hopefully a useful tool for anyone that is interested in participating in or tracking clinical trials.

Thank you for making it. From what I've seen and experienced, the problem has been "garbage in, garbage out"—that is, there isn't sufficient data posted publicly on clinicaltrials.gov to figure out which trials are best and which are actually open and available. My wife wrote "Please be dying, but not too quickly: a clinical trial story. A three-part, very deep dive into the insanity that is the 'modern' clinical trial system" on using the system, and the actual experience of it: https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-...

To figure out what's actually going on, we've had to make a lot of appointments and talk to oncologists to understand what is available and what isn't. The AI companies whose systems we tried missed the better treatments (e.g. BCA-101, or petosemtamab / MCLA-158), although we did not try yours, so perhaps it's capturing material others aren't. "Phone calls and appointments" are how I wound up learning about Seagen / Pfizer's antibody drug conjugate (ADC) PDL1V: http://jakeseliger.com/2024/04/22/the-emotional-trial-of-cli... (which appears to be working right now, albeit with side effects).

Right now, keeping a true system up to date would require a lot of phone calls, along the lines of VaccinateCA: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/the-story-of-vaccinateca/, which seems hard.

Think of the complete lack of agency, the powerlessness, of that perspective. 'If we do nothing, maybe they'll shoot themselves in the foot.' It's 'freeze' in the fight/flight/freeze response to danger.

In fairness, the parent didn't say that's all we'll do, but few talk about actual actions, solutions, with full agency and responsibility.

The solution isn't a silver lining to a cloud, it's what we will do to make a better world. If we don't make one, who will?

A rate-limit is most often some arbitrarily configured static value, e.g. each org can make 10 req/s. It's much harder to configure rate limits against some dynamic value like system load so most go with the static value approach.

Like the OP said, this doesn't protect you from going over your system capacity, you can still have 10 million orgs all requesting 10 req/s which can take down your system while abiding by your rate limits.

I'm pretty sure actual traditional wives did not record a staged and idealized version of their toils to post content for engagement and sponsorships.

The more traditional wives I know just do it that way because that's what makes sense in their particular family circumstances, often with no political framing at all. When the entire household needs care all day every day, there's no time to make a show of it.

People doing it because it's trendy with influencers are missing the deeper point, and the influencers themselves are LARPing at best.

Marathon 1 (1994) supports non-Euclidean spaces but only got used sparingly. So there’s this whole game of levels with maps, and then one or two levels with impossible spaces that the game doesn’t warn you about or tell you it could exist. So it’s possibly the best Easter egg location I’ve ever found in a game.

Found a video that demonstrates it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/vclu55/probably_n...

That's really looking for problems. The Palantir CEO said things much more extreme:

As the moderator asked general questions about the panelists’ views on the future of war, Schmidt and Cohen answered cautiously. But Karp, who’s known as a provocateur, aggressively condoned violence, often peering into the audience with hungry eyes, palpably desperate for claps, boos or shock.

He began by saying that the US has to “scare our adversaries to death” in war. Referring to Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel, he said: “If what happened to them happened to us, there’d be a hole in the ground somewhere.” Members of the audience laughed when he mocked fresh graduates of Columbia University, which had some of the earliest encampment protests in the country. He said they’d have a hard time on the job market and described their views as a “pagan religion infecting our universities” and “an infection inside of our society”.
the most obvious explanation for this, that requires the least competence https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor is that sama concluded that AGI cannot be achieved soon, so it's no longer a concern.
In the medium term, the named states all see benefit in moving the world back towards a multi-polar environment with regional spheres of influence and richer individual sovereignty. That's the common cause that sees them coordinate, cooperate, and simply borrow from the windows of opportunity that each opens.

Further out, many can of course anticipate conflict with their neighbors and peers, but those challenges arrive in their own day, in their own way, and only after American influence gets pushed out from their purported domains.

I agree it's annoying, but you can also just unsubscribe from the issue if you're no longer interested in community feedback.

> This, lock to maintainers happens once you know the cause, effect, and what it takes to fix it.

This is not really my experience. Usually it goes more like this:

1. Person makes issue

2. Lots of people respond to the issue because they experience it as well

3. Developers either don't care, or fail to grasp what the users actually want

4. More people pile on over the course of months/years while no resolution exists

5. Developers get annoyed, and lock the issue

6. Either they already did, or some point later the developers introduce a "close old issues with no response" bot

7. Issue is locked, cannot get responses

8. Issue gets closed

9. Open issue count goes down

10. Yay!

The current use case for Zeeq AI is really focused on monitoring for new trials or updated trials and not so much for finding trials at the moment.

Your best bet in that case is the AACT database which is pretty accessible if you have a basic knowledge of SQL.

The main gap as you identified is that the trial information in CT.gov is quite sparse and not necessarily deep enough so a true system would need to perhaps also crawl first party sources (e.g sponsor websites) or research papers to find more information.

The GDPR has been a godsend for me as a developer.

It provides me with a language to speak with the product and marketing side of our business when pushing back against unnecessary surveillance and requesting resources for data security. And even when I'm working with a team that is unconcerned about the ethical side of things, the GDPR places a cost on collecting data that can be used to prevent at least some of the worst suggested ideas purely on a net value basis.

This was not the case before the GDPR where data security and privacy were of limited concern and everyone was trying to collect as much data as possible on our users.

My company's products have never been in the GDPR's radar but even without facing any threat of direct consequence from GDPR it has indirectly been responsible for us creating a significantly better product for both our users and for the company as well.

“Completely unable” is wrong since it actually happened.
This is a great thing for the web. Like it or not react seems like it is here to stay as the primary web framework for the foreseeable future. There are so many react websites out there that are not well optimized, this is basically like a magic wand that will speed up a huge amount of existing websites/apps without major code changes.

The ROI of this compiler when you consider applying it to the whole ecosystem is mind blowing. Great job react team.
Going with that analogy, there are a lot of different fuels you can use. Using dissatisfaction or self-loathing may be an effective fuel, but it tends to be like putting NOS in your engine. You can go really fast, but you are likely doing long-term damage to the engine or risking catastrophic failure. Perhaps a good strategy for a 30-second street race, but not a good one for a cross-country road trip.

Most things in life are more like the latter than the former, and most people eventually figure out that it's better to motivate yourself using compassion for yourself and others instead of anger.

That being said, most people who accomplish much do seem to mix some amount of nitrous in their tank. Just don't overdo it.
1. There's no longer a proper toolbar for the main window. (You can sorta-kinda get something that's like it - but not quite, and it is extension-hostile, i.e. won't let you overlay it). This is doubly problematic with the menu bar being hidden.

2. No multi-folder selection. This is necessary for actions involving multiple folders - from a simple move to extension-enabled actions like "Search these folders for duplicate messages")

It doesn't appear to be heavily dependent on the distribution. It mostly depends on how large your buffer is compared to the number of unique items in the list. If the buffer is the same size or larger, it would be exact. If it's half the size needed to hold all the unique items, you drop O(1 bit) of precision; at one quarter, O(2 bits), etc.
From my personal interactions a lot of AI ethics teams just go to conferences and write docs. Their impact in actually improving the business and user experience is non existent in many cases. Sam likely made the right call here.
As coldtrait says in this thread, if you're simply building a wrapper business on top of such existing APIs, you're on thin ice. Be prepared to fall any moment. It'll be the fate of more or less all start-ups that are built in an "AI hurry".

and one can also define view and span types in C. No hypothetical language needed. But I do not think this is an improvement.
Attach a single page PDF and try to "Show as symbol". Only works if there is one PDF per line in the mail. Does not work if there is no line break between multiple PDFs. Works again if you put the second document on a new line. (At lest for me)
