I like the separation of concerns. If I'm looking to read some blogs/newsletters/etc., I pull up my feed reader (which is only on my computer, not carried around everywhere on my phone). If I'm trying to communicate with someone, I'll use email (which is on my phone, so I can respond to an email while I'm out and about).
If this happened in any of the majour european countries we would have that news in the headlines of newspapers and newscasts for several days.
How come that is not the same in the US even more so given that the health sector is mostly privatized and therefore "should be" more efficient ( when in fact is clear that it is a complete failure compared to European standards) ? .

I agree about home batteries being too expensive, hopefully prices will come down with scale.

But the part about battery degradation is not true. Tesla Powerwall has a 10 year warranty[1] with 70% capacity retention. This means that Tesla has data showing that the battery will have higher capacity than 70% after those years. That's a lot of cycles and a lot of renewable energy that the battery will provide in its lifetime.

I’m waiting for the story where a developer says that AI is equally able to replace senior managers; I can only imagine the blustering and outrage that would result!
To counter some of the hate in this thread: I have used this to great success as an "opportunistic" locking mechanism to, for example, reduce load on a Postgres database. The winner of the race to acquire the lock would run the (expensive) query then cache the result. On lock release, the nodes waiting on the lock would then try to read the cache before trying to acquire the lock again.
Discussed at the time:

They can, yes.

For example, here's a simple Compiler Explorer link with a simple loop conditionally copying from one of two values:

https://godbolt.org/z/TbeK99sx1.

If you look at the assembly code produced, you'll see in lines 9-11, it's doing a similar thing as the swap_if() function: ANDing one value with the mask, ANDing the other with the negation of the mask, and then ORing them together. And it produced that automatically from the ternary in the loop.

They can also do things like automatically generate epilogues with a serial loop to handle the leftover items if the loop count isn't an even multiple of the SIMD width. That's something else that I remember writing by hand before autovectorizers.

That said, coaxing an autovectorizer to actually vectorize a loop can be an art in itself. They're notoriously finicky. My favorite used to be the one in the old ("classic") ICC compiler where you use compiler flags to get a nice optimization report which would explain exactly why it chose what it did for each loop. You could also set #pragma's which would noisily warn or error out if the associated loop failed to vectorize for some reason.

(And of course, a lot of this stuff you might just use GPU compute for now.)
> We need the ability to fix things out-of-band.

Out-of-band fixes require trusting banks, but how trustable are banks really? Often the banks do say "tough luck". This is why you should never leave much balance in an active bank account in the US. Credit card issues are more fixable, but only in the US.

Regarding blockchain, it grants freedom in that you have the choice of trusting a third-party custodian, or doing self-custody. Having choices is good.
Actually, your inaccurateness (inaccuracy? GIYF) is even worse than I said above. My comment of a few levels above, literally uses the name _acco at least four times - I checked just now. And your comment was in reply to that. So even after reading that person's name four times in my comment, you still got its spelling wrong. Congrats. (Yeah, I can snark too, like you did to me upthread.)

It's happening! ChatGPT is being actively dumbed down. Many users are complaining.

I've never used it much and started using it more recently, but I'm able to feel the difference. It's crazy fast but it has its cost. Also it seems they made the context window a lot smaller. Or maybe that's just me

They have to say that to make the number go up. All these companies have heavily invested in AI.

AI is just another tool whose output depends on the skill of the user. You can't put people without domain knowledge in front of a LLM and get good results. It's very good at producing output that's looks good enough to convince non experts that it can do the job.

Some people forget how easy programming can be when you know nothing and just try stuff to see what works. Working in a procedural manner with everything in a global scope is simple to get stuff working. Not everything has to be extrapolated out into namespaces, functions, classes. It's nightmare code to maintain later, but going from blank page to working code is totally possible.

I think sometimes we forget not everything has to be written to a git repo with a highly developed structure ready for multiple people to work on. Is it a good habit, hellznaw, but people start somewhere and progress. That was the point that I was trying to make. It is totally possible to have a career as a programmer and have no credentialed degrees in CS or even programming. I know from personal experience.
I don't know anything about durability of solar panels but it should be known that in Texas there is always expectation of annual hail damage to roofs.
Isn't that pretty much how it works? Projections and needs are shared, when it starts to get tight, requests for conservation go out which are opt-in.

The problem is not the 1 cycle latency, but the data dependency on both values. A correctly-predicted branch cuts the dependency on the value that is not used.

I've definitely measured scenarios where cmov/branchless is slower than a branch for a given algorithm. Especially if the branchless version is doing a bit more work to avoid the branch.

A lot of what you say is explained in detail in Martin Kleppmann's article[0]. As you said, there's no guarantee about when the lock will expire. The proper solution for this is a fencing token. The idea is similar to how people have used optimistic locking when updating data in a db to avoid two users overwriting other's work.

Your statement that I responded to was

Tell us you're not American without telling us you're American.

If most Americans aren't aware of a thing, it's not a good signifer or use of that statement.

Keep it classy, questioning my qualifications and saying that's my problem on such a basic topic isn't a good look.
> No, the internet being free and open is what allows advertisers to exploit us.

The internet is neither free, nor open. I'm paying for it and there are all the geo-blocked and walled content. I'm grateful for the parts that are accessible at least (without sucking my private data dry). I don't mind advertising, but it should be a function of what I'm currently watching/listening instead of myself. I pay for F1TV and there are so much logos, but I don't mind them. Likewise for Soccer.
Why? It’s an honest opinion based on facts.
> You have to also realize when some communities use the word scam far too liberally.

That's true! People are calling an overpriced garbage dlc a scam nowadays, and that's just not true. It's exactly what it says on the label, so it's definitely not a scam, unless the marketing was very disingenuous.

But what Logan Paul did is not an example of that. It was not an investment that didn't pan out. It was an orchestrated pump and dumb scheme that was centered around a product, which he never delivered on.

You'd have grounds to argue if the game was delivered - but as it stands you cannot call that anything but a scam

It’s like asking a software engineer to write a hundred new features in a given sprint while the rest of the application is in flames. Eventually you stop aspiring to build good software and just hope enough of your code works that it’s good enough for some people.

It is always adjusted, but as noted, not always downwards, and almost never to this degree. Your claim about 2021 is incorrect.

As far as 1%, nobody cares about the total number of jobs, the only thing that matters is the number added or lost. This revision corrects about a 40% overstatement over the latest full year of monthly reports.

This is news for one day. A booming economy, massive job growth, etc has been the reporting for over a year. Do you expect the President to return to the convention and correct his own speech from Monday?
ESP32-S2, ESP32-C3 and ESP32-S3 have USB-OTG to act as USB Hosts. I've seen cheap ESP32-S3 boards with two USBC connectors, one for USB-OTG and the other to connect to the PC.

edit: Actually the port to connect to the PC goes through a UART chip, so you can't emulate HID devices using that port. So it won't work.
Ah yes, a licensed electrician advising 'amateurs' to hire hire licenced electricians. I live in Sweden where the guilds (they call themselves unions now) have too much say in the laws around electrical installations which means legally we're not allowed to do anything ourselves. Of course those laws are ignored by many and with reason: many electricians produce shoddy and sometimes outright dangerous work. The law allows companies who have a single licensed electrician on staff to send unlicenced trainees out to customers to do the work with the licenced electrician signing off but without the requirement for inspections. Even 'real' licenced electricians sometimes make a mess of things where a gifted 'hempulare' - the Swedish term for someone who works on his own electrical installation without having the required licences - would do a better job because he has skin in the game. I'm one of those who ignores these laws and (re)built my installation from the ground up, correcting faulty wiring done by 'professionals', adding missing lightning/overcurrent suppression, installing a 15 kW stolar installation, etc. When done with the latter I had the work inspected and signed off by a licenced electrician - otherwise I could not have registered my installation for feed-in - who did not find a single flaw and commented that he never had the time to deliver such a neat installation. I do because I live here on this farm and have skin in the game.

You didn't read my comment for what it meant, I think.

This isn't automated, it's people in 3rd world countries signing up to random sites that have CC as a method of payment and seeing if payment goes through.

You probably pay for Stripe Radar and don't see these payments but are also silently missing out on legitimate payments, or you run KYC or have too few or only western access to your site otherwise. Have you spoken to the people who manage your Stripe about the disputes and how many are fraud and the Fraudulent payment detection numbers you have? It won't be 0 for any substantial business.

> "green" energy countries like Germany

Not sure why you consider them to be "green" given the facts you brought up. Germany has never been particularly green energy wise. It's a big population and lots of heavy industry with relatively little energy resources like hydro.

The are building solar and wind quickly now. Maybe that's why you got the impression that they are "green".
I generally agree, but I think it's more subtle than that. Levels and titles aren't really about productivity per se either, they're about defining role expectations and conferring authority to ICs in a corporate environment where there are hundreds or thousands of developers, and they are inextricably linked to the communication needs that dominate productivity in large organizations. They often don't even map between departments, let alone different companies, and especially at smaller companies that don't have the headcount for any meaningful calibration to exist.

From that lens, Notch's "level" when he created Minecraft is pretty much undefined. He obviously had technical and entrepreneurial skill, which gave him huge credibility, and is a fast-track to a certain title / level at acquisition time, but that says very little about his ability to meet the expectations of a Microsoft engineer that worked their way up to that level through promotions.
This is extremely relatable. I have a similar experience with a free (!) watchface and a paid watch app I made a good few years back when WearOS was all the hype.

There's very friendly and thankful customers, there's unfortunately also a lot of needy and annoying ones. How do they not understand that I work for free, they always ask for more.

Add to that Google that is behaving like a toxic god, changing the rules of their walled garden every few months. I kid you not, one day they rejected my watchface because _it needed a splash screen_. And because my description mentioned "WearOS" and it should have been "Wear OS".
LOL, are you kidding me? LLMs including the gpt family copilot uses are very good at sneaking in these sorts of thing.
The amount of moaning that the status page wasn't updated in 0 seconds and had the wrong status for entire minutes is what leads me to believe that no, users do expect 100a% fidelity.

Total outages are rare enough, and there's enough other work, that spending time building a system for that, just doesn't seem like the best use of their time. though I'm biased, having faced that exact question from the inside, at different company.

Euphemism is a funny cloak for something you don't like, something you'd rather not mention at all. Those who use euphemisms are often allergic to plain speech, as it shows everything as it really is, not as how they'd like to see it.

Suffering... I could tell you something about suffering, but I leave it at that.

Lets suffice that I find it pretty funny that you, a non-disabled person, tries to tell me that the way I prefer being called is "old-fashioned" and "bigoted", therefore invalidating my own preference.

I let this stand as it is. Readers can decide who is bigoted here.

Besides, its nothing new that non-disabled people tell the disabled how things are supposed to work. Thats called patronisation. And you are a great example of people I really dont want to be around.
You obviously didn't read the article and jumped to the conclusion that they are talking about immutably peristent data structures, which they are not.

And even if they were talking about those (which they don't) your critique doesn't sound as smart as you seem to think if we just called them "lockless copy-on-write" data structures.

Lockless datastructures have some obvious advantages, and copy on write is one way to achieve that.

I think the difference between a VA and conventional employee is the idea of specialization and frequency. Doing VA work I have to do all things ranging from graphics design to support to crm stuff. Now, I am not the best guy out there to be great at one thing but I will try to be adaquete. The lack of specialization is made up by the fact that VAs are cheap, and you do not have to have that commitment to keep paying for them. If it is a 5 hour work week that will do.

These days, I just have my clients on whatsapp. They give me a random task, I give a deliverable time.
I'm similarly sympathetic when I come across a buggy implementation. It's malicious design that I'm objecting to. But I suppose it's a bit silly to say that it's the computer that's treating me like garbage. It's just that someone else is in control of my computer, and they're treating me like garbage.
No no, I understand that it's not a viable financial option, I just don't understand that anyone would trust any of these companies with any sort of information.

Most of the current AI companies are going to fail or get bought up, so you have no idea where that account information, all your prompts and all the answers will eventually go. After social media, I don't really see any reason why anyone would trust any tech company with any sort of information, unless you really really have to. If I want to run an LLM, then I'll get one that can run on my own computer, even if that mean forgoing certain features.

Supabase I set up an authentication with, it was pretty straightforward. I was following this: https://github.com/vercel/nextjs-subscription-payments?tab=r...

Do you have suggestions for once users are logged in, for them to be able to submit a selection?

The most complicated use case is, each user can purchase multiple entries to a fantasy football contest. And then each week, each user should be able to submit their pick for each entry. The players available for selection each week differ per entry.

The most basic use case is, users login and get authenticated, and then on the Account page (which is included in the above linked repo), users can submit their picks manually, through like a Google Form.
Do you think that you could get Google, or Github, to turn off your 2FA login requirement if you really needed it? Like if you lost your codes? Or never saved them in the first place?

> email is a chatbot ouroboros straight out of dystopian fiction

Hold on there. The chatbot may be dystopian, but an ouroboros is never dystopian. An ouroboros represents cyclicality, unity, or the eternal return, but not in a dystopian context of meaninglessness. An ouroboros is meant to grant a grand perspective, not to be a well of misery.

That business model only works until customers are sophisticated enough to understand tech debt. In the future, more customers will be less willing to pay the same good wages for low quality code.
this sounds very close to victim blaming in a country where insulin is not considered a human right, let alone the fact that many people in America only effectively have access to human insulin instead of analogs with higher efficacy and shorter absorption time. also people can develop t1d well into adulthood. we don’t have any information about this persons life nor should we need any.
