I didn't get the part about running the queries against the production database. How exactly was it not overloading the database?

And the point he makes about storage capacity seems off; it's often the cost of db storage that's the problem. Why would I pay to store data I'll never need?
Definitely had to read that subject line twice.
It is of course important to give people no time to reorganize, it will put enough stress on people to render them useless. You wont magically create jobs for everyone - all of a sudden. The logical outcome is poverty and no one to help you while you seek work as they are scrambling themselves. The end product is a person you wouldn't want to employ.

It's going to suck for much longer than it should have. He might have destroyed the potential for reorganization.

I really wanted to see the experiment work out but the data is ruined now.
From an operational standpoint, this is completely WP Engine's fault. You should not depend on other people's services, doubly so if they're public and free, when your big as Wordpress Engine is. Wordpress is completely within its rights, morally or otherwise, to block free access to its services.

The silver lining here is that this will force them to do the right thing by their customers and host their own shit.
Since when do you need a human in the mix? For example, there are financial risk analytical applications that use prompt templates and function calling , and have no chat bot interface to the end user. This is one of many examples. I think the leap that people miss is that you have to talk to the AI in some way, natural language is how LLM’s fundamentally work and so you have to express the problem space in that mode to it get it to solve problems for you as a developer. For some coders, I guess that is uncomfortable.
Yeah, but he’s good at it, though. That’s the amazing thing. It’s really obvious to everyone what he’s doing, and yet he still manages to pull it off, repeatedly.

Paul Graham said: “Sam is extremely good at becoming powerful.”

Altman is a predator; people respect their power even if they fear their motives. The investor class love guys like him, because he doesn’t let ethics get in the way of seeking power. Same reason they loved Zuckerberg.
It’s a literal scam. We prohibit literal scamming and defraudation. Gambling apps should be wiped off the face of the earth, not made inconvenient to install. If they move to Tor like drug marketplaces have, that’s fine. That’s their place, approximately.

Firstly, drivers' ability is still very, very important. But secondly, and more importantly, F1 has always been about the engineering more than the driving. If that isn't for you, there's plenty of other racing leagues where they're driving equal(ish) cars.

This. Try being broke and able to get some advice and consultation with trepidation. I think its fine as long as more clearly labeled not legal advice or counsel but experiment tool.
In the realm of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), TCL is ubiquitous. Virtually every EDA tool offers a TCL interface or API, making it the predominant language for tool configuration. I've always wondered why TCL hasn't gained traction in other domains. It possesses the elegance of Lisp while maintaining practicality.
> Wordpress may be open source, but having the actual name of the "Opensource" thing be trademarked by a non-profit (that's also who-knows-how-much controlled by a for-profit entity) seems like such a dick move.

I get the "ick" factor here, but there doesn't really seem to be a better alternative. If "OpenSourceWare" isn't trademarked by non-profit "OpenSourceSoft", the options are either a) no trademark, and it's a free-for-all where the biggest marketing budget and SEO teams get the biggest return on mindshare and search results or b) Oracle gets the trademark and nobody else is allowed to use it.

> If it comes to a hot war, it better be over (without going nuclear) within weeks or at most single digit months or it's more or less over. At least from where I'm standing.

Why? There is essentially zero chance that China can mount an invasion of the mainland US or even strike at its heartland enough to disrupt an industrial ramp up, even if it takes a decade (which it won't). The US can literally wait out anyone except Canada and Mexico (which... lol) by defending its coasts, with plenty of domestic natural resources - including agriculture, metals, and oil - to supply not just its military but the entire civilian population.
The same argument could be made for alcohol, cigarettes, credit cards, luxury goods, lottery tickets, tattoos...

How do you square the harm that gambling does to unrelated parties?

It's really easy to lose a lot of money super fast with gambling such that suddenly your entire family is dire straits (losing the house, facing bankruptcy, etc.) before the non-gamblers have any ability to react.

Tcl was 1988. Lua was 1993.

Lua is quite a bit larger than Tcl. In addition, no two Lua installations can ever agree on which modules they require (which makes the actual Lua binary even bigger).
As long as you have them you are allowed to keep a digital copy as well?

We ended up going with Doppler for secrets management. Was super easy to set up. I looked at a few others, but we would either need to self host or they were going to be clunky to set up. No more .env files to leak!
I believe initially yes, wage is a big factor. It's just that now the wage gives way to the economy of scale (maybe regulation plays a big role too). It's pretty sad too. The capital wants returns and growth, at the cost of weakening a country for generations to come.

But how are they getting the data?
Warnings do not really work in practice. What if these activities are not simply self-harming but destroy the families of the addict and large parts of the fabric of society? Even you mention societal chaos. How does the libertarian world-view accommodate that?
It's just a lot of practice. Pay attention to something you want to remember. Then recall it a bit later.

If you are watching a movie, you literally have to note an interesting dialogue as something to recall later. Then try to recall it later. But not in your own brain. Talk to someone about it.

Repeat a 10k times with different types of things over a few years and your memory will feel great.
I also don't think people realize how much money, effort, time, very smart (and well-funded) individuals are working on making those odds. They have access to decades worth of data, all the stats, and are entirely un-emotional or clinical about the data they are trawling through. Even if they miss something or get it wrong, it's usually minute and you as the gambler barely make any money out of it. Short of some black-swan like event or insider knowledge, you as a single individual would not be able to come up with a system that on average does better than the book makers.

At least (very loosely) with the lottery it's kinda random and your odds are "set" or rather your payout is not proportionate to your chance of winning. It's a happy surprise kind of thing as long as you don't overdo it.
If women get known for their hoarding, its typically for animals, not living things. Which is, if you think about it long enough, a lot more creepy!
Yup, and it's available on both Steam and GOG, usually pretty cheap. It's not running the original code underneath - some amazingly dedicated soul spent over a year porting its custom engine into ScummVM, and that's what the versions on sale now use.
Same here. Also, using netstat for the PID you can see that it's only listening on localhost ipv4/ipv6.

Even if he did ... which I don't think is true, if and when it produces positive and logical results like this, that's always good. How this worked before made little sense, and this could really as well have been fixed during the Twitter times without seeming any less on point.

I do like tech platforms where the decisionmakers and stakeholders actually know and use the product. Elon candidly streaming Diablo, even for some long sessions, once a while on X is a great thing to see and I hope it is putting pressure on the team to improve streaming there even more, given the latency and layout are still a bit behind the bigger players on that even though improvements like the stream chat have been added.
I'm not sure whether you really spend so little on clothes, or have misunderstood the term 'order of magnitude'. If it were 3 orders of magnitude less you would be spending €3.50 on clothes per year. Even 2 orders less is €35, which I find doubtful a grown person can do (in America/Europe at least).

Did you actually mean that? As I'm surprised your socks/underwear don't cost at least €35 per year, eventually they get holes in them. Are you darning?

1 order of magnitude less means dividing a figure by 10. 3 orders of magnitude is diving it by 1,000.
What brand are the jeans? When I think about my shirts, socks, and underwear, all of it lasts 4-6 years.. though my socks are 6 years old and I see no sign of needing to replace them any time soon.

However, I have a stack of jeans that all start coming apart in the same spot. I've started looking into how to mend jeans, as I'm sick of this being an issue. They are the most expensive thing I'm wearing (other than shoes) and seem to be the least durable. Though I do wear them 7x more often than the other articles, so I guess I should take that into account.
Except if you are actually better than the bookmakers, the platforms will kick you off as soon as they detect that.
25.5% of that is Finland's VAT. Europeans include tax in prices.

Also, for whatever reason, European clothes cleaning systems are insanely harsh, and your clothes don't last nearly as long when washed there. I think it's related to the energy efficiency requirements; the dryers are much much hotter (if they are available at all) and the washers have to use miniscule amounts of water so they use a lot more agitating instead, I suppose.

I've never had to buy so many clothes as after I moved to Europe, and they're never soft and fluffy anymore. It's like going back in time if you're used to North America.

This is excellent news! Remember, if you buy a copy of a good, you’re entitled to enjoy it as long as you wish to. If the seller steals it back from you, it’s ethical to acquire a replacement copy.

The law may say differently, but you cannot convince me that I don’t own something I bought through a “buy” button. I’ve never seen a book or movie or game or album where the button says “License” instead of “Buy”.

Sports gambling, like all gambling, ruins lives. It's certainly worth having the discussion about whether people should be able to run a train through their life and the lives of their families via app.

But a much easier argument against sports betting is that it ruins the sports. Players throw. They get good at subtly cheating. The gambling apparatus latches itself to the sport, to the teams and players, the umpires and judges, the sporting organizations. With this much money on the line, it's not a matter of if but when games are thrown, cheated -- the bigger the game, the bigger the incentive. It's even easier now because of the amount of side/parlay betting that is available. It exhausts the spirit of competition.

Sports gambling is diametrically opposed to sport itself.

Is it? The role of government is to clean up individuals who cause trouble for the population at large.

2016 might be the most clear one. Hamilton and Rosberg were both driving for Mercedes. In 2021, Hamilton nearly won it in his Mercedes despite Red Bull having the better car for most of the season.

The thing is, the teams putting in the money and effort to build the best cars also want to hire the best drivers. I don't think it's too surprising that the best drivers in the best cars get the best results.

There is an autonomous racing league now. You can watch races on YouTube. The cars don't go nearly as fast, and they're much more prone to boneheaded mistakes than human drivers. It wouldn't be safe to have them race against humans. But I do expect them to improve.
I tend to believe that warnings are somewhat effective otherwise cigarette manufacturers wouldn’t be so opposed to them.

SKG organizer here. Something like this CA legislation was our "worst case scenario, everything else failed, at least we could do this much, we've compromised on everything" goal.

That is to say, now opponents can't push us to compromise to that level and our worst case scenario in case we pass anything at all is looking better.

We're really happy this is happening because it changes the Overton window for us and makes our case stronger and easier to argue for, as you say.

A lot of change has been happening in the past few months and even weeks with regards to the market and legislative situation around the problematic of SKG and while you can't ever fully attribute something, we hope that it's thanks to our actions. Ubisoft promising end of life offline modes for The Crew 2 and the third game in the series called Motorfest. Capcom bringing back Windows 7 era games that were lost to G4WL.

The "Ubisoft scandal" mentioned in the headline - specifically the unforced shutdown and resulting removal of functioning state from The Crew - is something that SKG have no doubt popularized. Now that we're at 350 000 signatures of a goal of 1 000 000 in our direct democracy initiative, companies and lawmakers are starting to take things seriously. And this is with a $0 budget. We're still in need of more signatures over the next 10 months to reach the goal, so if you're an EU citizen, go click the link Sniffnoy posted above and sign. Worth doing even if you're not a gamer, just to claw back some ownership rights from corporations worth billions of dollars, spreading out to all corners of technology, not just games.

If you want a good, exhaustive intro to what SKG is about, this interview between a game developer and two SKG organizers is worth watching:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnpFqPGrgDk

Ross Scott is best known for his youtube series "Freeman's Mind" where he plays Half-Life and narrates what Gordon Freeman must be thinking, with a lot of deeply philosophical considerations. It's a staple of YouTube. He's also been running a series called "Dead Game News" and that's how Stop Killing Games was born.

The other organizer, Damian, is a real-deal neckbeard dev and has pretty much done it all from BASIC on 8-bit micros to theorem provers and from video games to cryptography audits.

Do that and your access to the courts is immediately restored as the defendant. CEO goes to jail, company's gambling license is revoked.
Best make it legal then, so bookies have the threat of losing their license if they get caught rigging a match. Black market bookies couldn't care less.

I don't know why anybody develops anything for these scumbag companies (Apple and Google). There's plenty of money to be made making software for the web. I have never written a single line of Android or iOS code and have had a very successful career so far. Supporting these companies is a choice.
By your argument, moderators on HN/Reddit shouldn't remove harmful content, since moderators would still have seen it either way.
Sure - when I was a kid, I was speeding in a neighborhood (think 40 in a 30) and an annoyed cop charged me with reckless driving. The public defender recommended I plead guilty, pay a large fine and be put on probation for a year. I think a more expensive lawyer would have had different advice.
"But the more elegant solution is the blunter one: ban sports gambling once again."

I don't think anyone would call blanket banning "elegant", even if it would be the best solution.

"They estimate that legal sports betting leads to a roughly 9 percent increase in intimate-partner violence."

I'm sure the numbers are probably right, but I can't help but feel some of this is reaching a bit - many population causation studies seembto be more about triggers than true root causes. Just because betting triggered this doesn't mean betting needs to be banned. What this should lead to is better support and treatment for people affected by this type of violence. If it's not betting that set it off, it would be some other stressor (probably also money related or feeling like a loser). Trying to fix the person's behavior such as impulse control and anger management would be much better than progressively banning everything as the next trigger emerges.
I've been waiting for stem cell therapy to regrow my recessed gums. Every option for taking care of my recessed gums seem horrible and my gums are so far gone. Wish I'd have developed better habits for taking care of them when I was younger but oh well.

> It's unclear even now whether the US has enough stockpiles and enough production of modern munitions to maintain an active war against a peer adversary like China

Is it? What is the theory that the US could keep up with China? That would be the US vs the globe's industrial superpower with an arguably larger real economy. It doesn't seem plausible that the US can fight a long sustained war.

The plan as far as I can see it is to make use of a large network of allies and partners as well as aiming to finish the war quickly by cutting off materials like food and industrial inputs to stall the manufacturing engine. If it turns into a slugfest where munition reserves start to matter that seems like it would favour China.

One of the big surprises out of the Ukraine war is that the US isn't in a position where it can easily bully Russia. If that is the case it is hard to see it coming out ahead vs China in any plausible conflict.

It's much easier to collect evidence for gambling itself than to collect evidence that a match was thrown.
