A few ideas:

1. Talk to some decent designers. The wooden frame feels a bit dull. Make the frame customizable.

2. This isn't just a calendar, but a todo list where you and your wife can add things to buy or to do, from your phones. This screen on the wall makes the list real.

3. This screen can show home stats: energy and water usage, weather, etc.

4. Add an option with touch screen. Removing a todo item by touching the screen is better than finding your phone and connecting it to the eink screen.
There's another good point in here. Why do they hold the ticket until just before the event? I bought tickets to a concert for my wife's favorite band. Then, my wife's work scheduled an event for that same week and she had to leave town. So, what I really wanted was a refund so someone else could buy the tickets. They don't do that of course. So, then I wanted to sell the tickets for face value... but ticketmaster didn't "deliver" the tickets to my account until the day before the event!

I watched for a month leading up to the event as the ticket prices plummeted while the scalpers were desperate to get at least something for their tickets before my ticket was even delivered to me.

As soon as they take my money, they should update the database to show that the ticket is mine. If I want to sell it, I should be able to do that immediately too.

But, from what I've read, that instant resale ability only belongs to their "partners" who resell a lot of tickets, and you need access to their "TradeDesk" tool to do it: https://tradedesk.ticketmaster.com
Borderless Is Inevitable
It’s going to be really interesting to see Meta and Apple battle out who can make an on-device model work better in their respective headsets and wearables.
A long time ago I wanted to be a medical doctor, but humanity somehow dodged this bullet (luckily, may I say) and I quit medical school just before the third year (the fact that programming computers paid my bills, while medical school did not at the time may have been partially responsible for this).

So, I am no medical doctor, but I was a pretty diligent student, and given the few things I studied about human physiology, I can assure you that biological sex is a pretty much fundamental fact for species that propagate via sexual reproduction, something that I can provide some anedoctal evidence being an homo sapiens, and being one of the parents of a certain number of other homo sapiens.

Maybe it is not as fundamental as the measurement of whether someone have a pulse or not at the present moment, or if their core temperature is around 36C, but it is still really consequential. Indeed, sex is far more consequential than something like race, which basically is mostly irrelevant for medicine.

You see, the problem with your analogy, is that humours was not a theory really based on the systematic observation of reality. Once we could measure more and more things empirically, it was pretty clear that it was a crackpot theory.

And while in a sense, you may be right and someday we could come up with new scientific facts that showed that the whole edifice of sexual reproduction would be superceded by new, better scientific concepts, the fact is that this has not happened, and frankly, it doesn't look even remotely likely to happen.

Until the day we have an alternative scientific theory, with predictions that can be reliably reproduced on experiments, and that explain such foundational biological issues such as human reproduction and secondary sexual characteristics, sex continues to be a very useful category of study.

Indeed, even the medical field of gender reassignment treatment relies heavily on the corpus of knowledge based on the concept of sex in things like hormonal treatment and puberty blockers.

I honestly don't know why the real time trading devs don't make their own OS/programming language for this. It's not like they don't have the money.
>Actually, I'm not categorically opposed to the notion, but I think you need to bring a lot to the table to explain why things without nervous systems feel pain.

Note that I didn't say they feel pain, just that they can feel what is done to them by the environment around them and respond appropriately.

The fact trees don't speak human plays a big role in us not understanding them, but they do clearly feel and express things whatever they may be.

>So is it immoral to cut grass?

Considering most of it is done for purely aesthetic purposes to satisfy human egos, arguably yes.

Note that whether it's moral or not is tangent to whether it can be done or not. We humans do plenty of immoral things without a care in the world.

> a definite net negative to society as far as I can tell.

What did you examine to reach that conclusion? If high-frequency trading were positive for society, what would you expect to be different?

The reason for high-frequency trading to exist is that the sub-penny rule makes it illegal to compete on price so you have to compete on speed instead. Abolishing the sub-penny rule would mean high-frequency trading profits got competed-away to nothing, although frankly they're already pretty close. The whole industry is basically an irrelevant piece of plumbing anyway.
If theres no road salting a car can last literally forever. Especially older cars that were built on solid platforms. So many old big block trucks or diesel mercs in socal still working fine after 40-50 years. I see even older cars too, some of them beat to absolute crap with hardly any paint left on the metal but still in service.

Every place I have worked required showing that tests worked during code review, break the code, watch the tests fail, unbreak the code, watch tests pass.

If I were going to spend resources on making testing better and my choice was between mutation testing and property testing, I'd rather spend that energy on property testing.

Mutation testing feels like something that the test framework should be doing anyway, maybe not every run, but every time it sees a new test.

If you keep going in this direction, your LLMs will be expert vulnerability injectors, possibly your end goal. All technologies are dual-use.

>one is there being precious little air between what I said and what you said. I frankly don't see any at all, is the idea that saying it comes from finance / investing is misleading??

I called it "slightly misleading" because 1/3rd of what you wrote was devoted to explaining what it actually is, but the rest is (seemingly) trying to defend it by discussing the most banal/non-central aspect of it. The reason why investors care about ESG isn't because "allocating money based on longer-term criteria beyond next quarter's results", neither is that why ESG detractors hate on it. What you're doing is similar to describing redlining as "banks deciding where to lend money, and refers to them trying to trying to manage risk". Sure, everything in that statement is technically true, and redlining ostensibly was about managing risk, but describing in that is misleading because it mischaracterizes what the controversy surrounding it is.
I feel like it's a bit unfair to bring up vendor lock-in, although it is a miss for Affinity, for sure.
While it may be true for Caltrain, Bart cannot be compared to Metro North. A commuter pass that I have used in the past from Long Beach to Grand Central (~30mi) was about $200/month ($250 now). A similar driving distance commute from concord to Powell St (~30mi) would cost you about $290 for 20 visits to the city since Bart doesn’t do commuter passes. Bart also charges you per trip and the min distance rides are very expensive, making it overall a more expensive option to Metro North. And unfortunately it’s the only commute option from the East Bay apart from the AC transit busses commuter busses that charge $7 regardless of the distance.

If this for your side project and your just using machine translation anyways - if this saves you steps, go for it. When it comes down to an actual product, as a consumer, most would rather buy a product that's been proofread by someone for the language/region they use it in, quality can only improve. I'm not against bootstrapping translations with AI, but they are more than strings that serve functions, they are human language that evoke emotion and associations - proofreading is important to me in something I might have to pay for. And human language is super important sometimes, and most of us can really only think/feel in a singular one. If my language comes across wrong here, it will undermine my point.

I don't mean to be critical, sounds like something I could actually use occasionally. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one putting up this common sense fight: if designers can spend hours crafting something carefully worded, tailored in English for something, why would it make sense to just take that and auto-translate it into something that if it's wrong gets discovered in the market as some very awkward in-app experience where the words don't make sense so much someone complains? My only gripe is people thinking AI is the total substitute for localization, it's not a silver bullet, but sure is better than nothing.
What I know or don't know is irrelevant, because what matters is that your statement rests of bringing in external knowledge/assumptions, so it's clearly not what the commenter is saying (alone).
OpenAI's Acquisition of Rockset: What It Means for the Industry
Because it's not explicitly forbidden ?

I would argue that HFT is a rather small space, albeit pretty concentrated. It's several orders of magnitude smaller in terms of energy wasting than Bitcoin.

The only positive from HFT is liquidity and tighter spreads, but it also depends what people put into HFT definition. For example, Robinhood and free trading, probably wouldn't exist without it.

They are taking a part of the cake that previously went to brokers and banks. HFT is not in a business of screwing 'the little guy'.

From my perspective there is little to none negative to the society. If somebody is investing long term in the stock market, he couldn't care less about HFT.
I really think you should be taking responsibility over your own current and historical consumption and production patterns instead of pointing fingers at countries who have much larger populations and are much more poorer per capita. Lead the world with better technology, show everybody how it can be done. Everybody does their bit and we will all benefit.
I’ve heard the argument that forcing people to have an ID is anti folks with disabilities and anti-poor since it requires someone to go to an issuing agency to obtain and pay for one, which could be putting someone out who has a mobility disability or doesn’t have a lot of money.

I’m not making the argument but it’s an argument I’ve heard.
> If you're an academic, or want to be taken seriously by other academics

Ie, industry bribes (or call it levies) to benefit one's career. Rent-seeking, as you put it.

We have all the tools to move on from that. Many sectors already have. Public discourse and free debate is enough of peer review for any idea of enough importance, in my opinion. Especially considering that the public today is almost everyone in the world, including very special interests.

Batteries do keep getting cheaper, and from what I've seen even at median they do better than 10 years, let alone at beat.

> If you have government ID and make it a whole calendar year without getting cited/arrested (let alone convicted), you should get an equal slice of the criminal seizure/fine money from the feds and the city/county/state that has jurisdiction over the address on your ID.

Wouldn’t this just encourage law enforcement to cite everyone for every little infraction?

> In short, redistribute the fine money from those who broke the law to those who didn't (or at least didn't get caught).

Everyone breaks law the eventually. The article mentions the “Miami right” as an example.

> The other far simpler option is that all fines/penalties automatically get applied to paying down debt owed by the collecting government.

So the government can purposefully take on more debt and then find infractions to pay it off?
Interesting, yeah possibly, I wonder what the performance would be like compared to asyncified code.
Has cost of living gone up in SK like it has in the west?
I agree, mostly. What do you do for people without an ID (and without a parent)? Think of the number of people at a Taylor Swift concert who are under 18 -- a lot. Also, checking the name between ticket and ID will slow down entrance by 2-5 times, I guess.
Sorry, I wrote my comment early in the morning and I didn't explain myself clearly.

"Coriander" was the standard English word, and "cilantro" the standard Spanish word, way before the European arrival to the Americas.

My understanding is that American English got the word "cilantro" for the leaves from Mexican cuisine... and then Mexican Spanish did the opposite and took the word "coriandro" for the seeds from English, to differentiate between the leaves and the seeds. I don't know how common the word is though; I have never been to Mexico so don't take my word for it.

However, European English and Spanish still use just one word each. If you ask me, I will say "hojas de cilantro" (leaves) and "semillas de cilantro" (seeds). It is not so common in our cuisine, so there is no need to have different words.

What do you think about creating WhatsApp bots to replace mobile apps?
There are many challenges in mobile app development and marketing, especially in marketing. Without installing apps, users can’t access or experience anything beyond seeing the app’s demo videos.

However, using publicly available WhatsApp Cloud APIs, we can create apps, bots, and automation. By simply sending a message to a number, users can achieve both app access and interaction.

For those who are unfamiliar with WhatsApp automation, please watch this video - https://youtu.be/pQoxa4FULpw

If my prediction is correct, Meta’s messaging platform will play a huge role in the future.

They tried to do this with lotteries. Like all the revenue from lotteries goes to the schools. What happens is the government funds schools less as lottery revenue grows so the schools get the same (or even less) but the overall government funds grow. So they still effectively get the revenue. Ultimately all money into the government is controlled by them so there really isn't a way to just move money around that wouldn't incentivize the scheme. Then they start doing shadey things like decreasing yellow light time to cause more violations (and sometimes accidents).
What’s the refresh rate when displaying an image?

It’s been on my todo list to do something like this to help my four year old get some insight into “why we do things when we do them”, but she’s still at the age where a calendar/clock/general sense of time are a little difficult to understand sometimes.

My plan was to set up a display that was more “kid friendly images annotated around the outside of a clock” and maybe some bars that fill/empty as we get close to certain things (like bedtime) so she has more opportunity to understand how much time she has left and decide how she wants to use it.

If it refreshes frequently enough, this definitely looks workable for that for the time being and still serves a purpose in the future as a family calendar.

Which I guess also raises the question—how much of this is dependent on cloud services? Obviously the website display, but could it fetch and render an image or ICS file without an internet connection?

(None of this is probably helpful as far as evolving the product, just asking because you’re here and clicking a buy button would take a thing off my todo list.)
I did the math on the Toyota and based on how many miles I drive in a year (I work at home) and the expected life of the vehicle, it'll run reliably until I'm 169 years old. :)
foo(const bar&) is ideal if you precisely wish to bar ownership. If (and in many kinds of projects, invariably it's more like when) you later decide to share ownership, or if nullptr is an option, then it's no good.

foo(std::shared_ptr<bar>) is copy-constructed as part of your function call (bumping the refcount) unless copy elision is both available and allowed. It's only ideal if you almost always pass newly instantiated objects.

Pass by const reference is the sweet spot. If you absolutely must minimize the refcount bumps, overload by const reference and by rvalue.

As for shared_ptrs being very rare, uh, no. We use them by the truckload. To each their own!

I will have to give this a shot for my personal migraines. I do a lot of physical exercise when not on the computer. I also drink plenty of water so I am hydrated before exercising (I can't stand to drink water while working out). I live in a country with a high salt consumption but maybe I am not getting enough electrolytes. I can't honestly say caffeine has any noticeable effect on my frequency though.
In general, Apple would solve that problem by recommending you plug an Apple computer into an Apple monitor.

The Apple ecosystem is well incentivized to make all of their pieces work with their other pieces. The Windows ecosystem is pretty decently incentivized to make things work together in general (In both directions... Windows suffers in sales if there's some popular hardware it won't work with, and popular hardware suffers in sales if it doesn't work with Windows).

One certainly does run into the occasional Dell monitor with Apple laptop problem that you then need a couple of insider specialists to address. But I've not really been sold on the notion that The open ecosystem is strictly superior in that sense... In theory it is, in practice you can't be an expert at everything and there's no guarantee anyone's going to come along and care about how to fix your particular Dell / Linux distro configuration.
Speed of light lag, and contention at the memory crossbar, get you at some point.
Confidence intervals account for _statistical_ error in which members of the population you happened to survey, not for incorrect data collection like "people randomly select the wrong button sometimes".

I'm not dismissing the claim as false, I'm saying that surveys like this are poor evidence that it is true because they are not very good at making precise statements about rare subgroups.
I generally use the ISC license these days. It is short, indemnifies me from damage caused by the software I write being used by other people, has a thin requirement that the copyright be carried forward into other projects using my code (A requirement that I'm probably not going to enforce), And that's it. No encumbrances against interoperation with other people's code.
They mean "damages" in a legal sense, not in a "broken" sense. Damages in tort law are the amount intended to make the claimant whole -- that is, to reimburse expenses incurred to protect legal rights, compensate for lost revenue, or to restore the status quo ante.
Cool. Perhaps companies and governments (gov.uk I'm looking at you) could consider using this stuff instead of forwarding all their public interactions to an unaccountable US corp.

I am not arguing for “solving crime”. If you read my comment, I specifically addressed the current levels of crime in SF. The current level of law and order in the city is below what is acceptable and achievable by a normally functioning city. Your car will be broken into within minutes of you leaving it, if you have anything at all visible in it. That is NOT the norm cities across the country, except a few. We don’t need to solve crime, we just need to not normalize it.
Struggling with Tasks That You Don't Want to Do?
I don't think a lot of commenters here have realized that the author was doing a PhD in Europe, not the US. The dynamics are very different. In many European countries, you have funding for only 3 years. You either finish or you're out (typically no coursework, though). I've known cases where after 3 years they simply lose access to the buildings.

As a result, the criteria for graduation is often softer than in the US.
