Gnosticism is not a term that can be used to define a uniform metaphysical system. There are a variety of metaphysical schools that are bundled together in the modern usage. For example, in what German scholars of early 20th century came to call "Iranian Gnosticism" (in reference to Manichaeism [1]) it is in fact the Father of Light that "sacrifices his sons" as 'food for daemons' so that the battle between Light and Darkness is taken to 'their turf'.

> Capitalism

Interestingly enough, another Iranian gnostic school derivative of Zoroastrianism - that of Mazdak [2] - shared everything, including "women".

In general, one should be careful to be quite specific as to what metaphysical school of thought they are referencing when using the currently ambiguous term "Gnosticism".

Mani's metaphysical vision is rather wild. I was just reading up on it the other day - apparently he even resorted to diagrams to make things clear.

How Important Is a College Degree Compared to Experience? (2023)
We didn't even cover RSA until the original last set. It's a build-up. :)
Completely irrelevant and without substance comment. You don't even know the parent but you an unsubstantiated claim for the sake 9f argument.
> Is degrowth just the uncontroversial claim that what really matters is people leading good lives, or is it the wildly controversial claim that people would lead equally good lives even if we were to systematically shrink GDP in rich countries to focus on sustainability?

That's a great question. In my mind the great question. I have not encountered much degrowth sentiment online, it seems largely to be anti-growth-at-all-costs sentiment (the former of the two questions). The article appears to assume and argue against the latter.

Good thing most people carry those around for other purposes. That $1000 tiny computer in their pocket just swallowed yet another thing that was once discrete.
Many people already have an iPhone, so that's a sunk cost.

Even not looking at the used market, a new iPhone SE is $430 (and likely to be substantially updated soon)
The one thing that I do believe Apple managed with the iPhone is the removal of this "tech bro" vibe from carrying a smartphone overall. So I guess it's not entirely out of the question that Apple will remove the stigma from wearing huge headsets 24h long...
Either hackernews or autocorrect ate the p, it was supposed to be \p{L} which is a unicode character class.

As the other comment mentioned pcre-compatible Regex are a standard, though the pcre spec isn't super readable. There are some projects that have more readable docs like mariadb and PHP, but it doesn't really make sense to repeat the spec in library docs https://www.php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.unicode.php

There are libraries for pcre2 or gnu regex syntax with the same API if you prefer those
I'd never seriously date someone if we couldn't be totally open and honest about our sexual histories and desires, etc. I think you're referring to a specific motivation some people have about wanting to know such information that is based on shame/insecurity/prudishness. Don't discount that some people want to share these things with their partner because it creates more intimacy and/or is hot.
Great. But it doesn’t mean Apple Airpod hearing aids are only $250.
I wasn't about to paste 1000 lines of Python into the thread; I just picked an interesting snippet.
thats fair, "any generalization is almost always wrong"

but, gen-ai is not introducing a new mode to my day-to-day life. I would liken it to a calculator app. Sure, i use it sometimes, but, it is not changing my day in any significant way yet.

But ecommerce changed the way i shop, and the smartphone changed the way i transact, and consume info and entertainment
What a defensively unhinged injection of a broad generalization.
Except it’s a separate device, so it didn’t swallow it. It’s just an abstraction on an already existing thing. Digital wallets is something that swallowed wallets, for example.
Seconded, love the ability to take it camping (car, the thing weighs a ton) along with a c40, and use standard-size baskets. Current favorite is a big bang[1] which leads to a very different resulting espresso than the stock basket - both great!

No, the US gov used anti-trust laws to break them up because anti-union efforts are valuable to corps. That's why you'll also see so much anti-union propaganda today.

How much time have you spent figuring out how to use them?

Ethan Mollick estimates it takes ten hours of exposure to “frontier models” (aka OpenAI GPT-4, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Google Gemini 1.5 Pro) before they really start to click in terms of what they’re useful for.
The price/performance curve is never linear. Everyone finds their spot, and then thinks “cheaper units are ugly garbage, more expensive units are frilly and pointless.” It’s personal consumer psychology, not science.

So “worth it” only really means “worth it to me.”
Thanks for this!

Been trying to get this work with VSCode with a project I'm trying to make sense of. Having to take a pause on it right now, but looking forward to getting it working and playing with it.
It does seem like the business preys on, primarily teenage boys, in a way that traditional pornography does not.

If you look up the user demographics, you'll notice an obvious problem: The demographics do not include the number of users under 18.

https://techreport.com/statistics/software-web/onlyfans-stat...

Some may say: well that's because you have to be 18 to use the site. But that's not true. Anyone can signup for onlyfans without entering their age. Onlyfans only does age verification for creators.

If you think this site isn't primarily being used by teenagers, then I have a bridge to sell you.
So we agree, not just $250.
I made a hearing aid app for the iPhone nearly 10 years ago. It was nearly impossible to get anybody to pay $10 or less for it.Also, there is/was a FDA exception for mobile apps, which kind of obviated the need for the grad school class i was taking at Stanford about getting medical devices FDA approved.

> Ah so you think it's interpreting it as "is the second r-sound a single or double r?"

Right.

I agree it fails to actually count the letters, but I still think those two interpretations of the question are valid, so making sure the LLM addresses the intended one should be important.

I'm also not sure about the disabilities example: This type of question would be very uncommon I think, not least because there aren't really words with double ii's, and people dont usually ask trivially about the number of characters in a word; rather it's usually about the spelling of a particular syllable (and among those cases, usually 1 vs 2).

Your second example is more convincing; however again we must ask: is it understanding the question right? Because you didnt reset the context and so perhaps it based its last answer on its second last answer in a way that could be valid (inside your last screenshot).

Idk if that makes sense the way I'm trying to explain what I mean.
I don't carry around any Apple device, neither do most of people (including various IT folks in various banks) I know. You can't tweak its settings without one.
I agree with what you are saying, and people should definitely be allowed to do whatever they like in private as long as it is legal and consentual.

That said, OF is not private, and that kind of negates your point.

That's funny you say that because my experience of France is that everyone outside of Paris seems to hate the Parisians more than me, an American.
Maybe the mythology is just a tool to get people on-board with the idea of preserving certain areas to the extent they are preserved.

Some American Indians loathe the patronizing idea that they were/are nobles in-tune with nature. They may not have exploited nature with mechanized efficiency, but at least some tribes took what they needed when they needed without the hippie vision of harmonious balance and they engaged in violence and war when it made sense to do so —kind of like other groups of humans elsewhere.
Simple yet customizable? My thoughts go to Sublime Text if you want a GUI editor and closed-source is OK, or Micro if you want a TUI editor that is open source:

https://micro-editor.github.io/

Like OpenBox, most casual users can be dropped in and know their way around their interfaces, and both options are kinda lightweight compared to other modern options. There is power available for serious customization if you want (you can write plugins for them in Python and Lua, respectively).

Personally, both Vim and Emacs do not remind me much of OpenBox. I think i3wm is more a Vim, and I guess XMonad is the most Emacs-like window manager I've tried. (Arguably, EXWM is the only truly Emacs-like window manager...)

That's just any customer business.

When you go buy a house it feels like the agent is really looking at your personal circumstances and trying hard to be your friend. When you go cut your hair the staff will remember your name and ask about your day. Your dentist will keep track of your operations, personalize your care and make sure you're in trust and as comfortable as possible.

There's really nothing special about having people you pay be friendly with you.

> If you sell your body, most societies will punish you.
> Why though?

In stable families and societies, women use sex as control (power) over men. Younger women who sell sex are undermining that power structure. That is why they must be punished.

Another way to look at in economic terms: Female sex is a scarce resource. Female selling transactional sex is commoditizing this resource. In general, people don't like their valuable service getting commoditized.
I would argue that academic degrowth literature is the best of degrowth thinking.
TL;DR

Nebula is a streaming service.

It has a parent company (Standard Broadcast) which owns $83% of the service and has 3 out of 4 board seats.

An external public company (Curiosity Stream) owns the remaining 17% and 1 board seat.

Standard Broadcast is owned by 6 individuals, some of them popular YouTubers.

Content creators who post on Nebula get 50% of the service's total profits (based on watch time).

Content creators (other than the 6 mentioned above) don't own any shares in Nebula, but if the service is ever sold, they get 50% of the proceeds from the sale. This doesn't, however, apply to Standard Broadcast or Curiosity Stream, which can and are sold/traded independently.

Whether Nebula is "creator-owned" or not, as they proudly proclaim front and center on their website and marketing materials, is left as an exercise for the reader.
Maybe it's because I have been wearing aids through all my life, but I see things this way. I don't care much what stigma wearing one carries, considering the alternative is being "that guy" who needs everything repeated twice, and that is a stigma I hate.
Why? I do this sort of technique all the time at work to keep things moving. “I’m gonna ship this code on Friday and if I don’t hear anything before then I’ll assume no news is good news and do it!”.

There should always be an upper bound to how long somebody can block your progress. If something was so important that they want to block me, why didn’t they tell me before Friday? That was ample time to raise objections.

It’s just an SLA and holds people accountable.

That's hyphen-minus, which is both a hyphen AND a minus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphen-minus
I agree with everything you said, but I suffered a huge rush of blood to the head when you used the word "recreation." When I look at a government-managed area and see the word "recreation," I immediately think of 4-wheelers and motorboats, driven by people who have just drunk an entire ice chest full of beer, throwing trash out the window, possibly carrying firearms regardless of any rules.

I think we need to think about management in a graded way, with different areas having different mandates and different policies, with different restrictions on usage, and all working together in a way that repairs what we have damaged, and working together with policies for land that isn't government-managed.

However, we have to be prepared to stand up for restrictions that a lot of people aren't happy with. A lot of people aren't happy that we don't log and mine natural parks. If we give in to the "common sense" of people like that, on the reasoning that "nothing is truly wild," we'll lose the rest of what we have, and very quickly. The moment you use a word like "recreation" in connection with a federally-managed piece of land, people are going to assume it's for partying and drunk-operating noisy vehicles. And they're going to call you elitist and out-of-touch for pushing back. We absolutely need to fight those battles, even without a blind and absolute belief in "wilderness."
> the rich and powerful[1] face no consequences for wrongdoing.

Bernie Madoff. Jeff Epstein & Ghislane Maxwell. Sam Bankman-Fried. Elizabeth Holmes. Harvey Weinstein.

I get that sometimes you'll see things like Hunter Biden's tax issues being allowed to pass the statute of limitations, but a universal "the rich never face consequences" is just plain false.
You illustrate a perfect example of simply not understanding what people want. Talkers get promoted because talkers have social skills, and companies are social systems, and social skills are required to advance through them. Social skills are probably more desirable than technical skills most of the time. It’s not luck that these people succeed, it’s the fact that they have the qualities that people want.

You can succeed through partially through luck, like if a record executive decides they going to manufacture some massive level of fame for you. But this isn’t a viable long term strategy, only providing what people want is. Over time the variance of luck goes away. The luck outlook relies on the fallacious idea that you only get one opportunity to succeed, but you don’t, you have as long as you’re willing to keep trying. Maybe a failure on one particular day can be explained by luck, but you get to wake up and keep trying every day, and if you have what people want then luck becomes irrelevant and eventually you will succeed. That’s how basically every single successful person you’ve ever heard of has done it.
> All of the things raised in the article seem possible to solve without the need for microservices.

First, this has nothing to do with microservices. Needing cloud infrastructure and building microservices are 2 orthogonal things.

Second, it has nothing to do with the tech you're using. MySQL is irrelevant. So is a monolithic backend.

What IS important is the security and infrasture behind the data your storing. Clinical data (and data captured in EMR's) is easily some of the most sensitive stuff you'll come across (unless you work in govt). The idea that I wouldn't use off-the-shelf, already-tested solutions specifically for this problem with a cloud provider is nuts. I pay Azure peanuts compared to what I'd have to pay a full-time person to manage multiple environments, security updates, provisioning new infra, etc. And that's not even considering the actual process you need to go to connect to outside systems.

Most integrations want you to have a SOCS audits and stuff. What happens when there is a breach? Do you have the personnel on staff to understand and troubleshoot the issue? Remember the "we have your data and will release it for bitcoin" hacks? That's only made possible by these systems sitting in closets in someone's facility.

And trust me, this isn't just a "large enterprisey" problem. It's a "everyone who wants to build an app in this space" problem.

So you can use MySql (if you can host it compliantly) and I'm building what you could theoretically call a "monolithic" backend and it's working well. I use MSSQL on Azure though.

Pareto principle. I bought a Gaggia but didn't do all of the extra stuff you mentioned, because I simply don't care enough for marginal returns. That's why a moka pot, which I had before, would still not be a good enough successor, because getting just the Gaggia is enough for most people who want to make espresso, the optimizations you talk about, while I have heard of all of them, are pretty much unnecessary if you are not trying to reach 100% of the output. I am content with 80% good enough results.
These things you mentioned are all still looked on negatively by some people. My grandma curses 'bastards' and children 'out of wedlock'. People still lose out on jobs for having face and neck tattoos, its in the media regularly.

In exactly the same way as having an OF account, its up to the person doing these things to judge the consequences of whether they are happy with some people in the world looking down on them.
Snarky defensiveness rationalized as wit or "owning" the conversational partner.
On one hand I can't blame any engineer that wants to flee, but on the other Boeing really can't afford any more brain drain.

>preys on

What do you mean by "preys on"? Teenage boys seek out porn, is normal. There's nothing magical about this type of porn. If they are breaking the ToS and committing credit card fraud, who's at fault?
This is a type of discussion where I'm always infuriated that I have to use the wrong terms to describe both the problem and potential solutions. Being forced to choose in terms of "growth" or "degrowth" reduces everything to GDP-centric thinking.

Simply making people poor to cut down on 5% of emissions is just like banning plastic straws but allowing plastic cups.

Realizing as well that constant economic growth is impossible in the long term is required so we start figuring out a more sustainable system.

I'm pretty sure quality of life can be improved even if the GDP shrinks, but it needs to be put as a primary target. At the same time, as an EU citized, the fact that shipping a product from the Netherlands is twice as expensive as a product with free shipping from Temu means that we've got low hanging fruits that can be instantly tackled, but nobody is interested in cost/benefit analysis but only in optics of elections.
> but the industry has been aware of timing attacks for decades such that this is table stakes for any crypto implementations.

When I see CVE-fests like — https://people.redhat.com/~hkario/marvin/ — … I just do not come away with that impression.

[Widely used] Cryptographic Rust crates offering "constant time" operations in "pure Rust" — but Rust has no primitives for doing constant time operations, so it's only through hopes and prayers that it might actually work, and with no guarantee anywhere that it actually should.

(Other, less timing attack related stuff, but e.g., major companies still not supporting anything beyond RSA.)
I always took the "trust" in "trusted computing" to mean trust on the part of companies, not trust on the part of users.

I think this little essay might explain why -- declaring it "trusted" means somebody trusts it, and since it was called that before users actually had such systems, that somebody wasn't the users.

For me, it does not enhance trust overall. If offers increased protection from some vectors, but decreases it against others.
The questions are short but the answers would be long. Puppet manages all fine grained OS resources (files, dirs, repos, cronjobs, sudo declarations, firewall rules, etc) and you aggregate those resources into classes which are then pushed to different machines. The classes are parametrizable for the differences between systems.

If I was to write an idempotent script for each native resource I would finish in some years :-)

You chose whatever monitoring system you like the most.

For offline nodes you use whatever the level of criticity of your node justifies. This is something people struggle to understand: not every business needs 99.99% uptime. That said, I never had a downtime in Hetzner. On Digital ocean I had one short forced reboot in 4 years. YMMV so protect yourself as much as necessary.

Deploying on a different provider than Hetzner is the same as deploying on Hetzner except the part of launching the machine which is trivial to script - the added value is making the machine work and Ubuntu/Debian/RHEL are the same everywhere. You don't have vendor lock in with this.

If K8s works for you, enjoy it. Nobody is telling you to stop :-)

> the plantet can probably handle ten billion people living stone age lifestyles,

It can't. And evidence of it is that the population only really grew once people changed their lifestyles.

But if you make extracting fossil fuel impossible, you will only have to be concerned about local pollution and ecosystem destruction. Those two will almost completely wipe out non-domestic life in a few years, but some parts of the world will probably survive until nearly all of those 10B people die.
