I think their top-down approach is a problem. What they call human civilization wasn't and isn't centrally-planned, and its goals and ideologies are neither universal nor implicit. The integration of software agents (I refuse to call them "AI") into civilization won't occur in a de facto cooperative framework where such agents are permitted to fraternize and self-modify. Perhaps that will happen in walled gardens where general-purpose automatons can collectively 'plan' activities to maximize efficiency, but in our broader human world, any such collaboration is going to have to occur from the bottom-up and for the initial benefit of the agents' owners.

This kind of research needs to take place in an adversarial environment. There might be something interesting to learn from studying the (lack of?) emergence of collaboration there.

The author says he scrolled past it quickly, so it "may have been an honest mistake," ie not malicious.

Unwanted? There's been a big cultural shift over the past 100 years about addresses. Papers used to print subjects' addresses alongside the subject. In the 80s addresses were still considered public knowledge via phone books. So maybe Douglas Adams didn't want his to be public, but he would have been in the minority. Either way, there's no evidence (here, anyway) that he gave it a second thought.

Does it have serverless P2P like Jami yet? If not, it seems like it's not ready yet.

Without true P2P every individual user still has single points of failure.

It's less disruptive if one server bans you, since people have been known to be banned for absolutely nothing, so there's some value, but not enough that I'd actively pursue switching, unlike with Jami and similar, unless I planned on doing things that make bans more likely.

They're making really good progress though in general!

My experience with delta was that the catalog, being stored in s3 itself, was unacceptably slow, and for our data volume, Airflow was prohibitively expensive. We spent a lot of engineering time working around both problems. Which is funny because the consultants who advised us to do this told us it was the best possible solution; tailor made for our application, foolproof in every way. After that we proceeded to pay for their “data” “science” “services,” which went about as well as my scare quotes would suggest.

i dunno. moving off heroku to another provider marking up aws or pretending to seems counterproductive.

a go binary in a zip builds and uploads to lambda in 1 second. handle routing and everything else in binary, don’t use aws features. you don’t need em.

lambda, s3, and dynamo all scale to zero with usage based billing.

toss in rds if you really miss sql or dislike scale to zero.

once this is too expensive, move to ovh metal, which sells significantly faster compute, ie epyc 4244p ddr5 5200.

more importantly, they sell bandwidth for $0.50/TB instead of $0.10/GB, which is aws price before paas wrapper markup.

the ovh price is after the 1Gbps unmetered you get for free with any server.

most companies will never even need metal, and between lambda and metal is ec2 spot, which might be of use anyway for elasticity.

ovh metal bills monthly, ec2 spot bills by the second. recently i learned ec2 spot in localzones is x2-3 cheaper than standard spot. i only use r5.xlarge in los angeles these days.

ovh metal has an old fashioned but perfectly workable api. aws has a great api.

spend a few days figuring out a decent sdlc, and then freeze it permanently. it will grow insanely robust over time.

i haven’t published my ovh metal workflows. my aws workflows are here[1].

lower overhead means more interesting products coming to market. lower friction definitely doesn’t hurt. viva le renaissance!

Why are print magazines dead, but print comics still doing so well?

I only really got into comics in the last year or so. I'm blown away by just how many different comics come out each week. They have really well done artwork, and usually contain minimal ads, at least compared to modern websites.

Granted, there's fewer pages per comic. But something tells me that the level of effort is as much or more than most print magazines, due to the artwork.

They gave it all up. Major publishers had teams of sales people with deep relationships with all of the ad spenders. They gave that up to doubleclick so they could sell eyeballs to purveyors of penis enhancement drugs for $0.25 per eyeball. Then per 1000 eyeballs, then per 1000 clicks.

Then they let Google scrape everything for SEO.

Toyota has also swung back into the button direction. Only the CarPlay and a few of the backup camera controls use the touch interface (and the button I use most for the camera is a physical button). I’m sitting in my car right now waiting, and so just counted all the buttons I can reach while driving from the drivers seat and got to 95 including things like left toggle right toggle for the mirrors adjustment being two buttons, so being as liberal as possible in my definitions of a button or knob. There’s then a touch screen a little bigger than an iPad in the center console that has the Toyota infotainment stuff (which I disabled and opted out of the master data agreement so it does nothing) and CarPlay.

The thing is I intuitively know about 50 of them since I’ve been driving the vehicle about six months now.

> A lot of people live in apartments where home charging will never be feasible

People in apartments usually have an assigned parking space, often covered. All you need to provide is a 240v outlet like a clothes dryer uses. Car owners can bring their own chargers.

It's more accurate to write that a lot of apartment complexes have simply not tried to install charging because most of their tenants don't have electric cars.

re: worker/replicator dying, if the worker dies, nothing is basically reading from subject/queue (NATS), so the changes aren't reaching the destination. The default config is to have one worker. If the replicator dies, the changes from the replication slot isn't getting delivered to NATS, so the WAL size will grow on the source DB.

There are some plans to introduce metrics/instrumentation to stay on top of these things, to make it more production ready.

Replicator and worker can pause/resume the stream when say shutting down, say during a deploy.

> There are servers needed for the app to work, right?

But why?

This is described as "a simple app, in which we listed all the recipes we ever prepared, and it would propose randomly three of them. We would then choose together one of them."

You could, if you chose to, built/architect that in a way that doesn't require a backend at all.

You can use deep link URIs to send a _lot_ of data in a link in an email (like literally gigabytes on iOS). Easily enough data to send each other newly added meals/recipes.

You could also encode recipes in QR Codes, so one person enters a new recipe and the other can scan a QR Code the app generates to grab it - you can get about 4kb into a high density QR Code that'll read reliably off a phone screen.

Use one of those to maintain the whole meal/recipe database on each device, no backend required.

Maybe use a date based PRNG so both ends will pick the same "three random recipes" every day.

Send messages between apps as emails with deep links in them, so one user can use the native iOS "share by email" widget to send a "hey, what do you want for dinner" email, with an app generated message with three deeplinks, one for each random choice. Recipient responds by tapping the deep link for their recipe choice, which opens their version of the app - and the app digs the data out off the deeplink URI to pres3ent a "share your choice" button that also uses the native iOS "share by email" widget to send the response back to the first user.

Tapping links in emails and sharing via email isn't as "nice" as an app with a centralised database and push notifications, but it also has zero ongoing cost to run and you know for sure the developer has no lever to enshittify the service, and has no user PII or usage data to sell to surveillance capitalists.

Hmmm, I wonder if you could do this entirely as a web app?
I'm curious if it might be possible that an AI "civilization", similar to the one proposed by Altera, could end up being a better paradigm for AGI than a single LLM, if a workable reward system for the entire civilization was put in place. Meaning, suppose this AI civilization was striving to maximize [scientific_output] or [code_quality] or any other eval, similar to how modern countries try to maximize GDP - would that provide better results than a single AI agent working towards that goal?
Agreed, it seems tangenti.al at best
From a consumer’s perspective, paying for a product or service is an exchange of money for value. Even with a service, there’s a tangible result—like a fresh haircut or the convenience of not dealing with tax filing. Paying only makes sense when there’s value in return, which isn’t true for many subscription services. Arguments about “maintenance costs” hold little weight for customers who don’t perceive any added value.

In some cases, subscriptions are reasonable, such as when software would be a heavy burden on personal devices, like power-intensive language models, or when it needs to stay compliant with evolving legal requirements, like an accounting software or something.

A larger issue is Apple’s push for subscription-based software in almost everything, often to bolster its bottom line, while damaging the industry as a whole for the reasons mentioned.

Also subscription to a developer is a product for them, it has nothing to do with the product they create for others
BBSes usually required your name, home address, and phone number as part of signing up for an account. I never gave it much thought when entering my information nor later when collecting it from others when I was a SysOp. Once in a while when driving around I might see a street sign and think "Oh, that's where Frisbee_Guy lives" if I recognized it but never considered using it for anything nefarious. Also remember computer magazines of the time often had sections where people would get their problems published along with an address for anyone wanting to contact them about it. Sometimes even a phone number.
It was a common thing for physicians to do to avoid having patients pester them in their time off. I believe it was a $20 charge, but can’t remember if it was per year or month.

Sequin sounds like a nice fit for that. I like it and yeah it does have replay.

With pg_flo, I am looking for the tool to be fairly hands off, while declarative at the same time for data filtering, transformation and re-routing like tasks, starting with PostgreSQL as the destination for now. The less time you can spend on cleaning, moving / syncing your data the better. Also quite curious to see what other use cases folks find it useful for.

Replay/reusability has been on my mind and have a sort of an old PR open. Will give it a shot soon.

I'm not sure there would be such a shortage. Here in North Carolina we have a "shortage" of teachers. But there's tons of folks that are qualified, they just can't afford to live on a teacher's salary and don't want to put up with the politics and bad policies. If the state made teaching a valued profession and paid people what they're worth, they'd instantly fill those vacancies.

My housemate is a nurse specializing in ECMO. In the time I've known him, his salary and benefits have been reduced twice. He'd note at his last job how many people were leaving because the scheduling makes it impossible to take time off and the benefits were paltry and getting worse. Three separate people needed to approve his time off requests for PTO he'd earned.

I would bet good money the same thing would happen in medicine. Pay people what they're worth and give them workable hours and lots of folks who are qualified (or easily recertified) for the positions will come out of the woodwork.
Interestingly the macOS one is not very accurate. I took a screenshot of your comment and macOS OCR read the "cmd+shift+4" as "cod+shift+4".
The first point is absolutely correct, and (apologies in advance…) was a large driver of Nietzsche’s philosophy of evolution, most explicitly covered in The Gay Science. Not only “selfishness”, but the wider idea of particularized standpoints, each of which may stand in contradiction to the direct needs of the society/species in the moment. This is a large part of what he meant by his notoriously dumb-sounding quotes like “everything is permitted”; morality isn’t relative/nonexistent, it’s just evolving in a way that relies on immorality as a foil.

For the second part, I think that’s a good exposition of why “stupidity” and “intelligence” aren’t scientifically useful terms. I don’t think it’s necessarily “stupid” to prefer the continuation of yourself/your species, even if it doesn’t stand up to certain kinds of standpoint-specific intellectual inquiry. There’s lots of standpoints (dare I say most human ones) where life is preferable to non-life.

Regardless, my daily thesis is that LLMs are the first real Intuitive Algorithms, and thus the solution to the Frame Problem. In a certain colloquial sense, I’d say they’re absolutely already “stupid”, and this is where they draw their utility from. This is just a more general rephrasing of the common refrain that we’ve hopefully all learned by now: hallucinations are not a bug in LLMs, they’re a feature.

I hate ads, but you're actually right in this case. If done with moderation and purpose—like the YouTube videos that promote a high-quality cooking ingredient while meaningfully explaining why it’s better—it could work well.
If it's a recipe focused app, then maybe it should not be a "swipe daily" thing, as what's in the fridge right not maybe not matching what's on the phone, and it takes time and effort to buy and store food.

You probably need a food purchasing to-do list feature, and allow user to plan ahead of purchase.

But overall, it's a very nice idea with many potentials.

When I was little, the feeling of anticipating a good dinner always keeps me excited the entire day. Maybe this app can bring that feeling back.
Yes, in the US, Bell Telephone White Pages absolutely showed your house address by default. How else would you know which John A. Smith was the one you were trying to look up? By the 1980's I recall being able to pay to remove your address from your listing (or pay even more to remove your listing entirely, as noted elsewhere). The excuse that Bell Telephone gave, by the way, for charging these fees is that you were decreasing the net worth of the network by not being listed.
