A bed side and what appears to be an unethical doctor overdosed his meal ticket with a heavy duty medication to induce sleep. I don't think there is much to argue either way on for-profit medicine in that case.
Even if you reduce copyright to a year, it still requires waiting through that time before you can actually use the code. And even if you were free to use Windows’ source code a year after release, it still wouldn’t give you access to the source code itself. Meanwhile Microsoft would be free to use any GPL code a year after its release without worrying about any licensing requirements, since they have the source code freely available.
I know they are trying to be practical with "reduce meat intake" and "drink less", but meat and alcohol is on par with smoking and they say "don't smoke". I hope we get to a point where we can say "don't eat meat or drink alcohol" just like we say "don't smoke". If the point is to stop cancer from happening, not doing any of those things is huge.
What a nice idea, perfect as a subscription business :)

On a serious note, might work well as some sort of community effort.
I assume your bank gives you a debit card. And many government IDs have NFC chips nowadays.
Yeah, my solution doesn't automatically handle that (yet).

That's why it provides a --sql option - if it doesn't entirely handle your particular case you can instead get it to generate SQL for you without executing it, so you can make modifications you need before running it.
Honestly, you'll get a lot of varying advice on this topic. Everything from embedded browser solutions to fully native ones.

Just start building with flutter, it's the best maintained platform that's the easiest to reason around. Everything follows a well defined workflow, you won't spend 30 days just learning the variety of configurations people keep for getting each different platform running.

If you go native you'll spend so much time deciding on platforms, build tools, packaging, etc.

It's better if you just start building and when you find deficiencies in Flutter you know what you search for in other platforms. You can move to them then.
Your main reply to "not invented here" is "okay, invent it here and maintain it here then, buddy".

One of the key skills of a a senior dev is to be able to judge the tradeoff between rolling your own and borrowing someone else's. In your life as a dev you'll be making this choice all the time. The pros and cons are generic: time spent, potential bugs, security, free upgrades, specific vs general solutions, external reliance, and so on. But you will exercise this judgement constantly.

Also not being a LISP guy, is it really so common to roll your own everything? Would you write your own JSON parser, is it that easy in LISP?
Meta has approached me twice and I rejected both times.

Money isn't everything.
"Veganism in the form of religion that thou must not deviate from" is entirely counterproductive because it tries to get people to completely stop eating meat. Large majority of the population doesn't want that so they continue with the same meat consumption, while we could eat less meat that we currently do without giving up on some BBQ/steaks here and there.
It creates a false dichotomy, putting people on the defensive because they don't want to give up meat.

Agreed. Consider how much you pay monthly for the service. Then consider how much
time would a customer support agent have to spend to help you out and how much money it would cost. To time spent, add in training time, training costs and to always have 100% capacity, the downtime costs as well.
Humans cost a lot.

And if you want creative, passionate humans who would be willing to go off script, you'd have to pay them a lot more, and likely they wouldn't last long at this job even then.

The problem here is bad customer support, not the use of chatbots. In this case, the chatbot is part of a badly designed system. Note that the human support rep didn't even have access to the chat history. AT&T is not making a real effort to provide good customer support.

If the incentive structure within AT&T isn't focused on providing customer support, then throwing an AI chatbot into the mix isn't going to fix anything. Doing that just means that you still have a bad customer support system, but now instead of waiting in a queue, your customers are arguing with an idiotic robot.

An AI chatbot can be a part of a well designed customer support system, but this isn't it.

I see it all the time in Europe. Go to any online store and see how the listed price jumps up during checkout due to "taxes an fees". Even though I specify that I'm shipping to Finland, they're incapable of calculating taxes until the last stage of the checkout process.
Airlines do those things here too. Air Baltic charges you something like 15 euros to print a boarding pass. Ryan Air is notorious for these various hidden fees.
I admire your viewpoint but I also find that it's extremely seldom that I need customer support for the majority of services I use. If I need it it's usually because of a flaw with the service. Surely it's very hard to be aware of their flaws if they don't have customer service but if they have other ways to reliable gather that data isn't it better for the customer if the service provider spends that effort fixing the flaws?
People long ago seem to all have great, straight teeth, and strong bones. Also a lot of them were killed by a rock to the head. Give and take, I guess

> Intelligence agencies are a great petri dish for diversity because they require creative solutions to unique problems. You’d expect them to crave diversity and seek it out. You’d be wrong.

> Their strict clearance process filters out the type of diversity that often results in excellent problem solvers, which inadvertently creates a monolithic workforce that thinks alike.

My read is that secret/secretive intel & security agencies attract, promote, and are quite often dominated by people with very "creepy", cliquey, self-serving, and careerist mindsets. If the goal is to create lots of secure, satisfying, & all-too-powerful jobs for such people, then that's great! But if you expect those agencies to be loyal and high-functioning bulwarks of your nation's security...um, so sorry, no.

Note that this is a "human nature" problem, not a modern nor first-world one. Russia's huge and "highly regarded" intel/security establishment is now famed for their comprehensive and sustained Ukraine-related failures. Plato discussed not-much-different problems at length in his Republic, ~375BC.

In brief: "Diverse" personnel, by current PC standards, would not do squat to fix the problem.
Customers are generally not willing to pay for trained cs reps that could actually be helpful. As far as startups are concerned VCs would therefore not like you to use their dollars to pay cs reps when an LLM could do the job in their eyes.

I agree with the sentiment of TFA but I think this is a battle that we have no chance of winning at scale. Very similarly to hoping for an ad-free web.
Is this an ordered list?
Unfortunately physical keys are getting obsolete in many places, and people are no longer routinely carrying their keychains around.
Interesting. But I can already imagine how it's going to backfire - you will reach a person and plead to better speak with AI:)
Canceling a credit card does not legally get you out of an obligation to pay. The only question is what is in the fine print of the subscription contract, if the company is willing to pursue it, and if the contract will hold up in court. Nothing about the credit card/payment info no longer being valid invalidates a contract in general - and in some cases you will be liable for their efforts to get payment if the card on file is no longer valid.
I think dev containers can help here. You have a laptop that can run your editor, and a browser. The actual build is done on a remote machine so that we're not kneecapping you by subjecting you to compiling kotlin on a mid range machine, but your laptop still needs to be able to run the site.
It’s interesting but doesn’t seem to address the correlation / causation thing. It may be that other attributes of the kids, parents, family, or socioeconomic context lead to earlier smartphone use and also worse mental health / happiness later in life.
Could it also be sign of unhealthy parenting? Parents who are not good at parenting give a smart phone to kids earlier?
thanks, to be clear though, Sierra (much like many others in this space) are trying to solve it for the business/enterprise. The approach we are taking is to build for the consumer. Would love to hear more about tiptap.chat, what you were looking to build and what sort of challenges you encountered, if you were selling to customers. Your point on checkered history of chatbots being an adoption hurdle is well taken.
Well written.

Since it was filed under Linear Algebra, i took it in the strict sense i.e. a vector is an element of a vector space. Now i see that it is more CS focused.
Oh, that's just considered "tipping" now. What's the big deal, what could possibly go wrong?
> How many have a smartphone with a cover able to hold cards?

I use a wallet that holds cards, but not common or popular, and are you seriously suggesting that we insert this thing into our phones, which would probably mean you'd have to dislodge from the case, wallet or not, and align the card into the slot. Not to mention how much space it'd consume in a smart phone. You & maybe a very tiny cohort want this, the general public don't, especially for the marginal security benefit. Anyways as others say, the modern equivalent is NFC, but again getting everyone to buy and carry an accessory is asking too much. Modern smartphones already have modern security and in recent years have been exposing their security coprocessor chip to the OS.
It could be a mistake. I've accidentally flagged and downvoted comments before and then only realized it when looking at the list of comments I've flagged and downvoted. I'm more careful now, though.
Startups for the rest of us.

It's the only podcast where every episode is relevant, and that I've consistently listened to for years (as a bootstrapped founder myself).

Maybe this, maybe that, no data.

It’s not clear that people incapable of being assertive or direct would make naturally more effective managers.

And assuming that women drawn to management positions will be more empathetic to the neuro diverse is a gigantic reach. I have no idea why that would be the case.

I agree.

While I managed our start ups finances, I so much preferred to stay doing everything in Excel over having to use our accountants system. And I get a glimpse into SAP from time to time as my wive is an accountant. It's incredible how shitty those systems are from the user perspective.

But I guess, this is what you get when the user is not also the customer.
Those examples are unlikely to kill you. A humanoid robot can. Let's say it quickly moves its arm on a collision course with your head. The arm can weigh around 10 kg. The impact can easily kill an adult.

I'm a bit less pessimistic than OP. It's possible to run safety checks (e.g. collision avoidance) on a lower, deterministic level, and use generative, black box, 'AI' for higher-level planning.

If Copilot spits out the entirety of a GPL library and you include that code in your project you are certainly violating the GPL license.

AI is trying to avoid paying for training data since the amount of data required is so vast anything reasonable to content creators as payment would result in billions of expenses.

Additionally there have been copyright exemptions around scrapping and reproducing the scrapped contents but typically those exemptions have been explicitly granted as part of a copyright case and have been narrowly defined.

For instance Google Images only provides thumbnails and your browser gets the full size image from the original source.

The biggest problem for AI is that most previous copyright cases that were similar have all been partially avoided by not being the same thing. Google scrapping isn't trying to do the same thing your content is doing.

However training data output is trying to do the same thing as the original so falls under stricter scrutiny.

Although as this post eludes to the problem is going after the AI is untested territory and going after violators tends to be complex at best. After all in my first hypothetical how would anyone know? I will say that historically the courts haven't been very positive about shell games like this.

Did you solve the problem? Because I've seen the same sort of behavior happen randomly to switches and you would be surprised how many of these problems are solved by turning the switch off and on again :)
Worth noting that this is from Brandur's "atoms" series: https://brandur.org/atoms - "Multimedia particles in the style of a tweet"

This also describes DIY home automation for me. I spend hours setting up some fancy automation routines that work great. Then, a few months later something fails and I spend more time fixing it than the automation affords me in the first place.
The concern about the impact of internet and social media (and consequently smartphones) on children’s safety is well-founded. Increased anxiety and depression, reduced attention span, sleep disruption...
Every time I’ve looked into it, pay gaps for same role and same experience are very small, sometimes favoring women. And if anything, women are promoted faster in an attempt to diversify the management ranks.

He says that the reporting of nutritional data about cancer can be very confusing, and references the work of the statistician David Spiegelhalter from the University of Cambridge, who has shown that even if everyone ate an extra 50g of bacon every day, that would only increase the incidence of colon cancer from 6% to 7%. “I think it is about having a healthy, balanced diet,” says Sivakumar, “and occasionally having a sweet treat or a steak.”

Def not on par with smoking.

So your issue is that someone who solved their problem didn't solve it in a way that you want or expect? Why does your opinion about their problem matter at all? Why does it matter to the person who makes their solution available that the common people won't?

Using the terminal is not "programming". Non-programmers can use the terminal for many non-programming tasks. Imagemagick and netpbm-progs require no knowledge of programming to use, although it may require knowledge manipulating files and some graphical theory. The only difference from GIMP or Photoshop is that the UI/UX has a different efficiency metric (mainly because interactive image manipulation is more efficient when you are interacting visually). But the operations are just as discoverable: reading and navigating help text/man pages in the former (the man pages for Imagemagick and netpbm-progs are relatively decent), and reading and navigating menus and dialog boxes in the latter.
The way I handle any streaming video subscriptions is:

- Have a list of stuff I want to watch.

- Once the list has enough on it from any one streaming provider (Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO, etc), I activate my subscription on that service, pay for a month, and immediately cancel.

- Use the month of access I just bought to watch the stuff.

- Continue with whichever service "fills up" next at some point in the future.

This method results in me typically buying a month of access on the usual suspect services once per year or so, and I never pay when I'm not actively using the services.
Yeah, that's how it is now. Didn't used to be that way. But think of the shareholders, we must maximize profits at all costs!
You have no idea. People waste their own time, stop playing a victim.
Probably just correlated with poverty, as with almost everything else. Only wealthy parents can afford to send their kids to summer camp.
Yep, delaying the introduction of smartphones until children are mature enough to handle the responsibilities and risks could be the answer

A debit card linked to an account with insufficient funds in it is not a sustainable solution with many banks as many of them will honour the transaction (usually within a small limit, e.g. ⩽ $50-100 but can be more), AND will apply the overdraft fee, plus the interest on the overdraft until it is paid off. Banks love shady charges, and it is a source of substantial revenue for them.

You are simply lucky if your bank bounces a transaction instead of slapping you with the overdraft fee.

Well a lot of jobs should be automated and more so those jobs that the pay check is low, but also another categories of jobs will be created, it might generate some unemployment but also new opportunities, how many jobs the computer took away and how many it generated?

There is no difference between talking to an AI and getting nothing accomplished and just waiting on hold and getting nothing accomplished.
I've worked with a few programmes in Fortran 77 and Basic which I think were from the early 80s and the same algorithms are still in use. I'm sure some people are still running these models in the original language which were to do with gas metering calculations. Some of the software came from printouts which I had to type in again, it was like going back to programming 8 bit games out of the computer mags...
