No, they still work.
It is an identity though. That's why it's managed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

The Indian government de facto treats Aadhaar as the primary form of identification within India in the aftermath of the inability of Indian forces in Ladakh being unable to identify Pakistani nationals from Indian nationals during the Kargil War, as well as the broken and disjointed identification process in India that used a mix of voter ID rolls, village/panchayat rolls, and other lossy methods.
I would like you to image a day in his life.

His pleasures, accomplishments, fears, and compulsions.

A personality and a lifestyle that drives away everyone except acquaintances and employees.

The kind of insecurity that causes a person to gravely insult a someone who risked their life, many times over, to save the lives of strangers half a world from their home because they dismissed your media ploy in public.

The kind of personality that is so addicted to attention that despite repeated public embarrassments that would make most people rethink their actions, they reform their own worldview in order to blame society instead of rightfully feeling ashamed.

A person who has a compulsion to make money constantly when there is no longer any purpose to do so -- to the point where they use guest appearances on comedy shows to pump and dump novelty crypto coins in order to make a few more pennies.

Does that sound like a happy, content person? If anyone is jealous of that life just so that they can have the fame then all I can say is that there is ever an opportunity where one of us can grab that for themselves, please -- be my guest.
Happy to see a post on Java and a book as well.

Will checkout the book.
While I agree with the general point, for some number of people obesity isn't treatable by lifestyle changes.
Wage increases are fundamentally automatic, because there is a limited pool of labor and higher productivity means companies have more goods/services with which to bid on that labor.

In the last three decades of the 19th century in the US, wages doubled despite union membership being at historically low levels. The rise in wages was driven by the same process seen globally in every country that has experienced rapidly growing per capita GDP. As companies produce more per worker and compete for a limited pool of labor, they bid higher for workers. This results in greater value, in terms of goods/services, offered to the average worker, which, in monetary terms, translates to higher inflation-adjusted wages.

Quote from another blog entry

"In the end I think Apple got an engineer for the next twenty-five years that, though not the cleverest engineer, was one that worked quickly to prototype new ideas and took on some of the gruntwork that not every engineer wanted to work on."

Some of us like doing the blue-collar parts. Plumbing, prototyping, fixing bugs, fit & finish, tackling tech debt.

Alas, today's leetcode themed hazing rituals, err, interviewing filters out people like me, and presumably John Calhoun.

I was fortunate to manage project and product teams with a mix of skills, temperments, experience. Pairing up doers with esthetes can work out great. In that "whole greater than the sum" sort of way.

FWIW, most of the doers (I've managed or worked with) had no CS education and experience. Just an interest, curiousity in tech. Notables were a ballet dancer, historian, handful of mechanics, biologist, aeronautic engineer, sculpture, and of course musicians. People who would never get hired, much less considered, today.

Every team needs at least one doer.
Great name for your startup btw. :)
Didn't even need to click on it to know what it does.
This is just incorrect. The OpenAI models hosted though Azure are HIPAA-compliant, and Antropic will also sign a BAA.
It's still misleading and they're obviously trying to imply marketing value that doesn't exist.
Imagine how easy it would be to influence the AI to redline.

Slumlords, racists, and other CHUDs are salivating over this
I spent a lot of time, and a lot of my parent's money, on Compuserve in the mid to the late eighties. For me and my best friend all our time was spent in two places. First, and absolute foremost, was Island of Kesmai. This game, and its graphical successor Legends of Kesmai, was the stuff dreams were made of for me as a kid. I still play variants of this game today. The second big draw of Compuserve was "You Guessed It!". This was a wacky multi-player trivia game show. My friend and I (both around 13) posed as young navy fighter pilots (top gun was a thing at this time). We wrote down all the questions and answers and frantically looked them up in the next games.

Compuserve was a huge part of my life at that point in time and I'm so glad it existed. I'm really glad we got away from hourly charges though.
The Aadhaar Act, 2016 is what gave the Aadhaar system it's teeth.

Overall I like the list. Some of the bullet points were stated a little more strongly than I was comfortable with.

> People who stress over code style, linting rules, or other minutia are insane weirdos

I feel like programmatically enforced linting is like keeping a shared house clean. Suppose you live in a house with roommates. You wipe off the counters, you clean up after yourself, you put dishes in the dishwasher, so that the house is tidy and pleasant. If there's a lint or style rule that requires judgment and is hard to enforce programmatically, perhaps better left as an occasional PR comment.

Programatically enforced linting also has the benefit of removing degrees of freedom that aren't very important and don't merit getting bogged down about.
This is really cool, I'll definitely look at this if I need to embed a map in the future. Are there any libraries that lets you plot geographic data on top of this in Python, with Matplotlib or similar?

Slightly off topic, but how come there doesn't seem to be any open projects using the Overture maps data?

> Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.

Sounds like it would be a good data source, or am I missing something?

> As someone who is very interested in AI and taught myself how to code (I don’t know any other real estate people who know anything about code), I think it’s going to be incredible hard to uproot the brokerage industry.

Has learning to code generated any benefit to you? What areas do you think have space for code to help buyers?

I think there are many, and - 'AI' or not - a clever tool can generate real value for buyers. Things like mis-zoned units, unreported square footage, signs of buyer motivation, estimates of homeowner equity, etc. can be estimated by good buyers agents but could be made available to everyone for a small subscription.
> that involved in our beloved Debian?

They've been there for 20 years already.
I share your general concern, but tbf these people aren’t doing the obvious and basic “let a chatbot do it” thing, they’re more making a platform that involves a few specialized language models for making the expert-gated stuff accessible to all. Like, they’re not writing contracts or negotiating using an LLM.

I understand your wife is in the industry, but that’s honestly a huge bias in this discussion IMO, not a help. No offense intended, of course; I well understand and totally relate to the sinking feeling of changes coming to your industry! But I think it’s just objectively provable that home realtors and car dealerships are two US industries that have been allowed to fall behind the times for a while, now.
I can’t see that price on https://openai.com/api/pricing/ - it’s listing $5/m input and $15/m output for GPT-4o right now.

No wait, correction: That’s confusing: it lists 4o first and then lists gpt-4o-2024-08-06 as $2.50/$10.
One of the many bad things that Github did was to name the button that does the `git clone` action `Fork`.

Like, I get why they did it, but (as we can see) it resulted in this stupid terminology confusion.
Yes, I think it would. Have a look at the extract_mbtiles script:

Cursor can do it.
I hear this in other comments, but I cannot reconcile it with my own direct experience with brittle white PVC pipes.

There are a few grades of white PVC, including Schedule 40. There must be a subset of options which are appropriate for outdoor use.

[Edit: FWIW A superficial web search agrees with me that standard white PVC will degrade in UV. A common recommendation is to use "furniture grade" PVC, or to paint or wrap the pipe to protect it. In this context I'm mostly thinking about options available at ordinary hardware stores, not special order stuff, but apparently there are options.]

Other reasons to choose EMT though: thinner, more heat-resilient, less prone to sag, stronger by thickness, subjectively more attractive.
Fork, then clone. Simple as.
An “indentity” on this context is the opposite of something innate to an individual: it is the fact that everyone sees you as a single person (as opposed to whatever name you give when introducing yourself), in is fundamentally a social tool.

You don't need such an identity to live alone on a desert island, or in a remote village where everyone knows each other, but it's a necessity in highly mobile modern world where you mostly interact with people who know nothing about you except this identity.
Everyone will already know about the blocker as soon as it happens. Reasserting it again at a regularly scheduled meeting would be even sillier than regurgitating the commit log. At least there is a slim chance someone hasn't kept up with the commit log. There is no chance of someone not being aware of blockers by the time the standup comes around.
It's still one of the best simple media players (sadly). If it had better HiDPI support, it'd still be my go to on Windows (if I still used Windows).

I wonder if anyone there still has the source to the failed Linux Alpha. It crashed all the time, but it did exist, for a very short while.
This is not true. Both OpenAI and Google's LLM APIs have a policy of not using the data sent over them. Its no different than trusting Microsoft's or Google's cloud to store private data.
What is the alternative for providing direct benefits without lossage?

A centralized ID makes it easier to verify identity, given that alternative local systems of identification were easily falsified and used to siphon money away from welfare programs by local politicians of all parties.

Before Aadhaar, to get your PAN card you often had to deal with your local panchayat, and that was often a compromised method with local panchayat functionaries requiring bribes or straight up ignoring individuals.

Furthermore, because the local level was so compromised, it was easy to create either fake IDs which was often used for siphoning funds.

Digital/Identity Libertarianism is a Veblen good when the absolute majority of the population is dependent on government benefits and subsidies.

To be fair, Gravity Falls is also aimed at children but is still fun for adults.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Falls

Back to the seinen anime, Monster fits into the category of mystery/thriller. For science fiction/horror see Parasyte -the maxim- and for dark fantasy see Berserk.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasyte

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_(manga)

Berserk in particular is a staple. It has influenced lots of other work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_(manga)#Legacy

Be sure to not watch the 2016 anime series, as it is reviled for its poor animation. The 1997 anime series or the film trilogy from 2012 are a better use of your time. Both cover the same section of the story. However, be forewarned the part they adapt is a specific arc of the story near the beginning and is thus unfinished. Still worth it.

But I’d still recommend you start with Monster if you’re looking for something closer to live-action shows.
For me, the interesting takeaway from this article is that CompuServe started as a way for a big insurance company to monetize its idle computing capacity in the off hours.
A) this is a buyer’s agent, not a seller’s agent.

B) I don’t think you tell the agent your race, and traditional bias protections (namely doing the whole process without meeting in person) would still be in place AFAIU.
Just an advisory so folks don't get caught out, as far as I can tell the offering advertised as the "open-source version" defaults to [1] (and heavily makes use of) the Elastic license. More context here [2].

There will likely be large regulatory movement in the space in the upcoming future. There are more pending suits beyond the August 17th DoJ one.

Legally, we are still agents.

Eventually the plan is to support sell side as well. We are tackling buyers first. The reasons: Because realtors are paid for on commission, the incentive is to transact immediately and high. This has bad alignment for the buyer, but good alignment for the seller. Sellers also require a lot more in person logistics like staging and photography.
'AI/ML stuff' is a lot and if you don't know what interests you yet I'd recommend developing an intuition for all things ML/AI and building small ML models first:

1. Spend 6h going through this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vkb7BCMQd0

2. Go through Google's intro to ML crash course and pre-reqs: https://developers.google.com/machine-learning/crash-course/...

3. Refer to other videos on Youtube (3B1B and StatQuest are couple of my favs) as you go through no 2 above

Spend about a month on the above and then see what you really want to dig into next. There could be a few different ways after the above, but one way is speedrunning through 1st sem coursework of any top ML grad school program
I’ve been going back and working on retro development. These days, making software for the 68K Macintosh, which is where I learned to program in the first place. I dug a lot through old books, comp.sys.mac.programmer posts, and the source code from Soft Dorothy and others (like the GliderPro source).

It’s a trip seeing this old code through new eyes. I can see why the old Macs crashed so much (beyond the basic “they had no memory protection” explanation). I’m also fond of the 1-bit art, like the author mentions, and I curate a list of accounts on Twitter which post 1-but artwork (if you know anybody who’s missing from the list, let me know): https://twitter.com/i/lists/1578111923324944397

The nice thing about programming for a limited system is that it limits your options. It’s a nice break from the more modern experience where you can do anything by pulling in the right library. I sometimes imagine a world where computational power is frozen, and we simple get better and better software for systems that are well-understood. The thing about these old systems like the Mac 68K machines is that the pace of hardware development was so fast it made you dizzy. If a new processor came out like the 68020 or 80386, then you had maybe a couple years at most to make something that really used it to its full potential. If you waited too long, you’d be competing against a new generation of software written for a new generation of hardware.
this is why things like `find -print0` exist, which is IMO the easiest way to handle this robustly.
The license claims that it's a copyleft license... but it cannot be one with the distribution restrictions demanded by the license.

I hope that they either remove the claim that it is a copyleft license, or relax the distribution restrictions to something like "If you distribute modified versions of this Program, you may not call the modified versions Winamp.".
Clearly my business/branding sense and my sense of humor are off... it is a real product offering, and I'll honor the offer and the coupon if you sign up. Typically I provide website and VPS hosting, just hadn't advertised colo services publicly so threw the product page together. I'll change the product names eventually when I come up with something I like.

Not really. Legalese is vague on purpose because not every situation can be rigidly defined.

As for English, because of its plain nature, I have little trouble understanding someone who isn't proficient or who has a heavy accent, whereas languages with specific infections or tones might not have that kind of liberty.
Same experience here.

I had hopes of Google able to compete with Claude and OpenAI. But I don’t think that’s the case. Unless they come out with a product that’s 10x better in the next year or so I think they lost the AI race.
Its just not as smart as ChatGPT or LLAMA, its mind boggling Google fell so far behind.
This is really useful! Makes it easy to feed unstructured (thoughts) into a spreadsheet for processing later on. Thanks for doing this. Are you planning on making this open-source?

"I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker. The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions, so how can it conceive of a God, before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one?" -Albert Einstein

It would have revealed a lower layer of higher understanding.

No one has been able to calculate the mass of a quark:

"Nobody has seriously calculated theoretically a quark mass from first principles. So there is no issue of agreement with experiment. They are parameters in experimental fits, but sometimes remarkably consistent across a broad range of experiments-- and the QCD/EW calculations using them as inputs. If someone pretends to know their origin, he/she is bluffing."

But the exercise is extraordinary!
> you get hired to work with mostly irrational actors (sellers and buyers).

AI-scale personalization could help here, assuming macro scale irrationality is mostly rational in consideration of individual values (e.g. character of neighborhood, character of permitting-related town departments, etc)

I think both solutions could easily saturate a 1 Gbps line. I benchmarked Btrfs + nginx and it could do 30 Gbps, which doesn't really make a difference if your server is 1 Gbps only.

The fact that there is no service running was the more important for me. Mostly for security and bugs. I had so many problems with various tile servers in production, they needed daily restarting, they had memory leaks, etc.

Basically I wanted to go nginx-only for security and to avoid tile server bugs.

It's not. Base C# extension for VS Code is free and MIT[0], the closed component, that is a debugger, is free as well. There is an open-source alternative too, and what effectively all debugger implementations do is integrate with debugger API provided by .NET itself, which any new tool can hook into. At the same time, Rider uses its own homegrown debugger, that works even better and has nice time-travel capability.

[0]: https://github.com/dotnet/vscode-csharp (this is _not_ DevKit, which is optional, the actual language support like Roslyn language server is part of the base extension, and you really don't need DevKit which has "extra VS-style accommodations" most of which can be done with different extensions, if that's what you want)
WP Engine calls itself the worlds #1 wordpress hosting (with over 1.5m clients), but they aren't even in the top 10 material contributors to wordpress. Although they have pledged to support wordpress development, is is only to the tune of 40 hours a week. Their pledge is miniscule given their usage of wordpress and isn't even in the top 25 pledges made. It seems they were called out on this, and told to resolve it or it would get highlighted, and highlighted it was.

Sure, the license allows them to do whatever they want, but there's nothing wrong with publicizing that they don't give much in return. With over $400M ARR, thats something they could easily resolve.
