> I'm missing clarity about how do I escape Instant DB when I need to, and how to make it part of a larger system.

Instant is completely open source. We have no private repos, so in the event that you want to run the system yourself, you can fork it.

> how to make it part of a larger system.

If you have an existing app, right now I would suggest storing the parts that you want to reactive on Instant.

We're working on a Postgres adapter. This would let you connect an existing database, and use Instant for the real-time sync. If you'd be interested in using this, reach out to us at founders@instantdb.com!
True but, look up the price fixing that's been going on in big AG via AgriStats. Similar story as OP.
Ah, yeah, I misspoke, sorry. I was aware of that feature, but everyone I've talked to said it's so annoying to use they basically never use it, so I didn't think it was worth mentioning.

The big reason it's annoying is because (I believe) Colab still only lets you connect to runtimes running on your computer - which is why at the end at the end of that article they suggest using SSH port forwarding if you want to connect to a remote cluster. I know at least one company has written a hacky wrapper that researchers can use to connect to their own cluster through Colab, but it's not ideal.

I think Moonglow's target audience is slightly different than Colab's though because of the tight VSCode/Cursor integration - many people we've talked to said they really value the code-complete, which you can't get in any web frontend!
Your argument is a model that does no vetting of contributors whatsoever, which resulted in the catastrophe that is the topic of discussion, is better than a hypothetical company which is full of compromised developers that have free reign to commit to the source tree with no oversight? That sounds extremely contrived.
It’s not change for change sake. I’ve read it was notoriously difficult for Microsoft to change things in there and generally do development work on it, which is why it’s stuck around so long.
Lawyer would be great but it may be that you have agreed to a contract which says you cannot sue them, only arbitration.
Again, I have experience in this market so I have first hand experience.

I understand the cartel allegations here, but I think people are vastly underselling the competitive forces at play. If you are not filling your unit immediately, you are losing thousands of dollars a month.

Cartels break down because of the incentive to undercut (prisoner's dilemma). But in this case, it would be very, very profitable to undercut RealPage's prices and get your units filled before them. So their compliance and enforcement mechanisms of RealPage would have to be extremely robust to get corporations to willingly lose tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a month to collectively collude on prices.
>You'd need to figure that out eventually anyway. Better sooner than later.

100%

> That can go either way. I've had stocks that I wanted to sell get held up, and go up in value in the meantime. So you have to just chalk that up to fate.

My plan was to immediately sell 50% of the stock (it was at an all-time high) immediately but now plans have changed. Oh well.

Is the experience that different?

I've never tried one, but I assumed the level of bureaucracy must be similar in order to defend against fraud and fulfill regulatory requirements.
what happens to the founders if they dont hit it
I saw in the docs that it uses IndexDB. Didn’t read carefully to understand how full is the replica and if it’s possible to make 100% offline app and what would be the limits of storage in the browser.

Also it would be nice to clarify memory consumption.

In general I’m glad such thing now exists!
Show HN: Support.dev – a non-trivial Vue and Supabase app
I built this tool about a year ago to get really good at the supabase ecosystem. We were trying to raise money on the idea, but that didn't occur, so I wanted to open-source it, as I would love to give back to the commmunity.

It allows you to invite friends and family to be helpers for child-care, meals, and transportation, and then you can create an event and they will get auto-invited to it and can choose to support you. It is using vue on the frontend and then supabase on the backend for auth, database, realtime, storage, and edge functions.

Anyway, I hope someone finds it useful, there are some pretty cool features with db triggers in the database calling out to edge functions to process data, and then realtime notifications for invites and such.
But does this include Blue/premium/gold subscriptions and other features?
People could previously have afforded to get that done for any specific image, but now it's now possible for a propagandist to give each and every resident of the USA their own personalised faked image for a total cost of about $25k (if their electricity costs $0.1/kWh).
Is this candidate AI-generated?
Noting this feedback, thank you.
Thanks! Some good insights here. The quest is based on A Wild Sheep Chase. I can relax the guardrails a little bit, but part of what is being shown is that the world is controllable by the developer. It's nascent, but this is a demonstration of an AI that is being nudged along a well-planned narrative.

It sounds like you might have hit a blocker by trying to move to a part of the town that isn't on the map. I've forbidden those actions for now, to make sure users don't go too far off the beaten path.

You should be able to attack the townsfolk, though, (although you may need to insist). I've just added a formal option for you to attack the merchant. There's a 50/50 chance that it succeeds at each round. After that, you can escape down the alleyway and the AI will occasionally begin to speak like a pirate.

This is just one proof-of-concept for one possible domain for controllable voice AI – which I think shows potential. I appreciate that you disagree, and that’s fine!

But I can absolutely see a world where people play AI video games because they want the unbounded complexity and subtlety of a TTRPG with a human-level DM, powered by AI. I hope to have the opportunity to convince you with another play through!
Notnpossible to generate a limitee key in 2024?
> I don't think those would change often

I think this is where our contexts may differ, and so we end up with different tradeoffs and choices :) The services running on our dev servers are updated dozens of times per day, and they roughly correspond to the non-code parts of a VM.
So presumably these investments have lost a lot of value?
Until I read your comment I didn't even notice...
> Here is a lightly touched-up machine translation of what's visible of the article before the paywall banner for those who don't read French:

I do want to say, as someone who has never studied French, it is shockingly easy for a native English speaker to pull up a French article, especially one touching math or science, and read enough to get the gist[0]. I highly recommend the curious to just attempt reading the article in French, and then come back and check your understanding against this machine translation. You'll be surprised how much you understand.

[0] Probably because especially in the academic disciplines French and English have so many cognates, and even the jargon words are often cognate. E.g. the French word for a set (in mathematics) is "ensemble".
> just doesn't understand mainframes and the contemporary environment they existed in and the problems they were solving?

Yes, I am saying exactly that. He was a hardware designer who essentially ended up on the OS/360 project as a manager.

> so I'd think he knows what was actually going on during its development.

Almost no one who uses JCL would describe it or think of it as a "language." Mr Brook's entire criticism is founded in his historical author's view and not in a practical end users point of view.
Meta cancels high-end mixed reality headset after Apple Vision Pro struggles
From an application developer's perspective, the nice thing about using a passkey with a browser cookie is that you don't have to store anything sensitive. You're only guarding access to your own app with meaningless numbers. If your app doesn't store other sensitive data, the blast radius is small. There are still denial of service attacks to worry about where an attacker can use network or compute to run up your bill.

What are we guarding when building an app that uses a cloud API that costs money? Access to more compute resources. Probably a lot more than the app itself ever uses. It raises the stakes a bit. Still, in monetary terms, you're operating a vending machine that the user puts money into.

Maybe there could be some kind of protocol and workflow to securely buy a dollar of compute time from an AI vendor?

If they send some of the money to the app developer's account, it's starting to sound like an app store or micropayments system.
It feels like Vega is a viable path toward something bigger, like a global, W3C type standard for visualization, but unfortunately not as adopted as it deserves.

Maybe. From what I know of sbctl I think it would be fine for a beginner, but I can't say for sure because I use my own custom setup, not sbctl.
It being an industry is what allows people to live a decent life.

Question I wrote:

> I encountered the typo "anablibg" in the sentence "I wonder how much help they had by asahi doing a lot of the kernel and ecosystem work anablibg 16k pages." What did they actually mean?

GPT-4o and Sonnet 3.5 understood it perfectly. This isn't really a problem for the large models.

For local small models:

* Gemma2 9b did not get it and thought it meant "analyzing".

* Codestral (22b) did not it get it and thought it meant "allocating".

* Phi3 Mini failed spectacularly.

* Phi3 14b and Qwen2 did not get it and thought it was "annotating".

* Mistral-nemo thought it was a portmanteau "anabling" as a combination of "an" and "enabling". Partial credit for being close and some creativity?

* Llama3.1 got it perfectly.
I don’t think they’re talking about the price they’re renting the apartment for; I can’t imagine that number is secret in any meaningful sense of the word. Who rents an apartment without knowing the price?

I think they’re talking about more sensitive internal numbers. What are the costs and margins on the unit? How quickly are units moving at a certain price? What’s the turnover at particular prices?

I think the core mechanics bear some similarities to insider trading, with a third party “washing” the non-public information.
>I have a strong incentive to undercut them

Not in a supply constrained market where your rental will be occupied either way.
They have not... and unfortunately this viewpoint is shared by too many these days.

Removing the profit-motive from the equation does not magically net increased benefits for everyone. It's usually the opposite in reality... landlords end up doing the absolute bare minimum because sinking a bunch of money into renovating the bathrooms or kitchen will not yield increased rent under these proposed policies. Or people looking to invest in housing/apartments for rental income decide it's ROI is far too low to be worth the hassle and risks... so less housing is built.

This line of thinking looks at some minority of people living in slums, and assumes every rental owner is actually a slumlord. So, the solution is obviously to degrade the situation for everyone because some small minority of people have it rough...
Pretty sure every single profession affected by industrialisation said the same...

This is just machines for the knowledge economy.
If you’re against this change I think you should evaluate whether it’s nostalgia or resistance to change talking rather than an honest evaluation.

It’s quite clear to me that the control panel desperately needs to go.

And if you don’t like the Settings app now, realize that it can, has, and will change at a more rapid pace than control panel because Microsoft can actually work on it at a reasonable velocity rather than being stuck with the legacy technology that’s difficult for them to work with internally.
read all about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesa_Boudin

You can disagree with me all you want, but this guy was recalled as SF DA for letting criminals go.
His wikipedia enumerates several cases of him doing just that.

> In March 2020, Boudin charged 20-year-old Dwayne Grayson with elder abuse after he filmed 56-year-old Jonathan Amerson in February 2020 swinging a metal bar at an elderly Asian man in Bayview–Hunters Point, San Francisco and stealing his aluminum cans. Amerson was charged with elder abuse and robbery. The video later went viral online. Boudin dropped charges against Dwayne Grayson after a spokesperson in Boudin's office said the victim expressed his intent to pursue restorative justice.

> Boudin has been criticized for his alleged lack of prosecution of drug-related crimes, with only three drug convictions in 2021, none of which were for fentanyl dealing. Boudin has defended his actions saying that many of the drug dealers in the Bay Area are from Honduras, and would face deportation if convicted of drug dealing.
Same here. I have one echo left and using as a fancy kitchen timer with clock.
Perplexity AI plans to start running ads in 4th quarter
It is absolutely different.

I can walk into my credit union's offices - they have just two branches - and talk to someone with decision making power. An actual human being picks up the phone if I call. Their customer service has been impeccable despite some complex asks.

I am unlikely to be able to do this if someone steals my crypto.

(My security question when calling in was once "you sent an email last week that made my boss very happy, what was it about?")
No, and it’s absurdly petty to argue otherwise.
What if I only want to live someplace for a couple years? Building a house that I want to live in for the next 40 years makes sense, but if you have no reason to think life will keep you in the one place for 40 years renting may be a better deal - let someone else take the risk of building a house and hoping someone comes to live in to.
There's plenty of situations you don't hear about.

A few years ago I f'ed up and accidentally pushed keys to a public repo, and by the next morning, we racked up $50k in AWS charges from crypto miners. We reached out, they gave us a security checklist that if we followed, they'd take off the charges. We did, and by Monday (my code push was Friday evening) the charges were taken off. No public shaming required.
I obviously went through a book ephemera collecting phase. Just getting to the point at looking at all the things I came across I once thought were important.

Information used to be hard to find and small magazines always developed around subcultures.

I'm surprised how ancient magazines in box have more intrigue and accessibility than archive.org's search box. Archive.org represents a much broader reach and depth of information.

I wonder what I would have done if I wasn't actively physically searching for something.

I look forward to cataloging it.
Maybe it's my time on staff at a college newspaper in the early 90s. Neutral voice reporting was drilled into us pretty mercilessly.

When it is a pretty straightforward recounting of an event, just give me the facts please.

Its his own site, so understandably the editorial voice is his to do what as he wills, but again, in the end I believe it undermines his own credibility with his readership, or at least sprinkle more of the opinionated voice at the beginning so I can read it in that mindset, rather than having to recast my view on the reporting post hoc.
I think OP is commenting more so on the reversal of the developer’s relationship with rules of syntax than their personal capabilities.
Gasoline isn't subject to price controls, though! They were in the past, and the results were disastrous. This is what price-controls on gasoline look like: https://www.federalreservehistory.org/-/media/images/essays/...

The way that the government influences gas prices is that they stockpile or release oil from the US strategic reserves. They don't regulate prices. They influence supply in order to influence prices. The analogy would be building public housing.

I'm not sure what you mean by treating housing like an "essential good". Most essential goods aren't subject to price controls. There aren't price controls on food, for example. Most countries that set price controls on food experience famines (or the price controls are widely ignored and the black market becomes the normal market).

I used to have a side gig as the CFO for a not-for-profit (an unpaid volunteer). Anyway, this organization was over 125 years old, associated with a larger organization 80 years older than that, and had the same primary bank for 70 years ... Anyway, my treasurer, who was very smart, insisted we keep enough cash to run for 3 months in a secondary bank. Just in case we were locked out of our primary bank.
To be clear, in the case of those abusing the policy:

Those AI photos at the start of blogs often make me say "fuck it" and go back.

It screams "I rushed this out, I'm probably regurgitating something I just learned".

Those rules should be enabled by default.
Housing supply is inelastic due to the time it takes to permit and built.

Housing demand is more elastic than you suspect. People have income on a curve, and at a certain point of price/quality will move further out and commute or move to a lower cost of living city entirely.

I don't even think that it's lucrative per se, but rather that it's straightforward. Cop sits there playing candy crush, magical radar artifact makes a noise, they look up, chase down that car, then check a box on a pre-printed citation where they don't even have to think about which law to cite. But (real example) same road, clearly marked as trucks prohibited from left two lanes - a shed larger than many houses meanders by in the third lane, hanging well over into both the second and leftmost lanes - where do they even start? If the cop even happened to look up from their phone at the right time, they'd have to figure out which specific laws are being broken, how to cite them, what to take down as evidence, probably show up to the court date themselves, etc. So the actual hazardous moving violation goes unpoliced meanwhile every driver merely going the prevailing speed of the road has to spend a large part of their attention looking out for highway robbers laying in wait.
The use of jumbo frames is NOT normal and is only used in very specific setups. In general something like a storage system that is isolated to its own layer2 network. At some point your jumbo network has to hit the reset of the network and packet fragmentation is done in software via the CPU which is very expensive and not linerate. The normal outcome is you break your network.
Ah, Citi.

Related to an earlier comment I posted on a different thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41316889 , I didn't name the "national bank", but I now feel perfectly comfortable outing "Citibank" as the national bank that I will no longer (personally) do business with. Corporate stuff is a different matter.

As a matter of policy, they do not empower their front-line (personal) banking CSR reps, and even 1st-level escalation folks. They're basically nothing more than stenographers.

After 20 days of back-and-forth with non-answers, I finally sent them a certified letter giving them 30 days to "take action" or "explain non-action" on a specific dispute amounting to ~$5k.

I called to verify the prior letter was "on-record" in my account. Given the nature of the postage, it was already verified delivered.

Moving forward, that 15 year+ line-of-credit is just going sit on their books until they close the account. There is no longer a fundamental basis of forthright communication, confidence in competence, and trust to move forward.

There is no disagreement. In the constitution, isonomy is just the principle that says everyone is equal before the law, everyone is subjected to the same rules. That's formal isonomy. Under the constitution, isonomy means you have a proportional right to answer the other party's claims and even extract damages. It does not mean you can have those claims censored. This is literally spelled out in the text. They get to say whatever they want, and you get to answer them and sue them if you want. After the fact. You don't get to preempt it with a priori censorship. That would mean the manifestation of thought is not free.

Plenty of lesser laws expand quite a bit on that concept until it becomes material isonomy. Treating the unequal unequally. They all boil down to things that reduce inequality such as affirmative action. Those are irrelevant to this discussion. TSE's notions of "economic power abuse" no doubt fall in this category.
