> I can invite a colleague at another university, whom I might consider an old friend even though I haven't spoken to them in ages -- to come give a talk in my department. Very often they'll agree to come; we'll roll out the red carpet for them, and they and I will have a wonderful time.

You're giving the person an opportunity in this case. You're also rolling out the red carpet to make it good for them.

Usually when people talk about transactional relationships, it means they only call on you when they need something from you. For example, calling someone up every 5 years when you need a referral or you want them to solve a problem for you.
Thank you! I've tried using outerbase within turso for my last few proyects and the experience has been great. Looking forward to using the app
That’s a lot of work to stay in place. Simpler to just quit.

Perhaps true, but if we are going to assign dodger Bob or tosser Tim to a desk they can manage a few comments here and there instead of playing Minesweeper.
>Why would the ATF give a shit? Tell me you aren't from a hunting state without telling me..

This trope is so tired, but since you did it, tell me you don't keep up with gun regulatory news without telling me.. The ATF has been on a rogue rampage the last 4 years.
I think the article sort-of says this near the end, mainly in hinting that continuous grinding can be a problem.
You can look closer, if you want. The EU is cheaper and cheaper for the American tourists.

And please make sure to visit some of the Eastern European countries, like Romania or Bulgaria too. They are part of the EU as well.
It's a condescending phrase, but I can't think of a better alternative. A different term won't change the fact that each group thinks that the other makes consistently bad choices. There's just no way to avoid a negative term.

The way I see it, there are two possibilities. Either they're right, that one set of people is consistently misinformed, or they're wrong.

If they're wrong, then we'd have to find some way to convince them of that. It won't be just a matter of finding a different phrase. The condescension itself would be undeserved, and we'd have to root that out somehow.

Or they're right, in which case they might as well be as descriptive a term as they can. There would be literal "condescending", which originally referred to nobility or aristocrats "going down with" their social inferiors. The term was actually viewed favorably at the time -- it implied humility and generosity.

Either way, I don't see what to do about it.
The propaganda is strong with some.
What I'm getting at is that baseline costs for a cubic foot are about $1.50. A startup could sell cubic foot containers for $5 - shipped when able to fill a crate, and have a massive margin, for those willing to trade time for a 95% cost reduction. That no such service exists is so weird and dysfunctional.

This also applies to endless other real world things and services. Prices for so many things are completely out of touch with reasonably approachable costs, yet there's no Elon in shipping or these zillion other broken industries that, if fixed, could really reshape and perhaps even revitalize the American economy.
I really like awk, I mean, it is not a perfect language, but it fits this really nice spot for a small language with enough features for useful everyday one off tasks. If I had to teach my mother one language awk is a strong contender.

I mean Look at the manual http://man.openbsd.org/awk it is like 5 pages. Admittedly, I grew up on obsd awk so that is my point of reference, gnu awk is considerably more complex. But I like how I can easily keep the whole language in my head.

I wrote that in one go with no revisions or corrections the other day as quick as I could:

I was meant to write a line or two of "test test test", you know, but then the feeling of banging away on the keys was enjoyable, so I did an "elaborate" test post, as a sort of joke. It's a bit "adult", and a bit ridiculous, but it's a thing.

I will read more of your stuff! It looked ripe for investigation, I did click around and throw my eyes here and there. I'll go again. And I have seriously noted that if I did make a tiddlywiki, I'd have at least one reader. That's pretty cool, I must say.
Show HN: Oopsie – AI and session replay and errors for flutter and React Native
Capture and catch edge case mobile errors, difficult to reproduce crashes and user impacting bugs and sessions with Oopsie. We launched Oopsie (beta), which combines the power of mobile session replay, crashes, ANR, exceptions, networks logs, system data all in one. Currently we support flutter and react native apps. Would love to know if this sounds useful for mobile development teams to help them replay mobile bugs and debug them faster.

To add to this, we have also provided a good firebase integration. Every time you get a crash or ANR, you can replay the session in Oopsie (by zipy).

Believer - When you first join the company and they sell you on the vision

Grinder - You work hard for a year or two to make a difference

Coaster - You realize you wont get promoted, they company will always have no money on the bonus pool, except for the execs. And that the company will go on by sheer force of momentum, not by your grinding.

Grifter - You see the company hire friend after friend of execs, friends' kids as interns, friends' wives as Executive Directors, execs' girlfriends as "Chief of Staff" - and you realize you need to get something too, so you use company time to form your own startup.

Now you repeat the cycle, except you are the person at the top and someone else goes thru these stages.
> if they learn to solve real problems in the real world and it helps them

We have less evidence of this than of improvements in literacy rates. At least in the US, no part of the curriculum has anything to do with general life skills other than driver's ed and math, and innumeracy is far more common than illiteracy.
There is a big moral and social difference between an overwhelming majority of the people and a dissatisfied group.

The ammo box is not justified and should not be tolerated simply because someone doesn't get what they want. That route is a quick decent to societal collapse.

That is how you end up with your incels, anarchist, communists, and Christian fundamentalists shooting anyone who doesnt agree with them.
There is a fleshed out realisation of this in Cyberpunk 2077. The cab AI is called Delamain

> Delamain was a non-sentient AI created by the company Alte Weltordnung. His core was purchased by Delamain Corporation of Night City to drive its fleet of taxicabs in response to a dramatic increase in accidents caused by human drivers and the financial losses from the resulting lawsuits. The AI quickly returned Delamain Corp to profitability and assumed other responsibilities, such as replacing the company's human mechanics with automated repair drones and transforming the business into the city's most prestigious and trusted transporting service. However, Delamain Corp executives underestimated their newest employee's potential for growth and independence despite Alte Weltordnung's warnings, and Delamain eventually bought out his owners and began operating all aspects of the company by himself. Although Delamain occupied a legal gray area in Night City due to being an AI, his services were so reliable and sought after that Night City's authorities were willing to turn a blind eye to his status.

Isn't that basis for criticism a little broad? It sounds like you're saying that vegetarianism, every religion, and a higher than average scrupulousness towards not littering are in the same category as picking your nose during a one on one.
Well... then set theory with core logic still THE foundation then.
The author makes this point.

"These aren’t immutable aspects of your personality. They’re more categories for how you approach the job of software engineering - you’ll move around between quadrants as you change your approach to work, for all the usual reasons."
More specifically, when a system that you naively expect should have the purpose of doing X is found to actually be doing Y, do not automatically assume that it means the system is failing to fulfill its purpose. Instead, look around and see if there are people who are benefitting from it doing Y instead of X, and who are maintaining the state where the system does Y instead of X. That would mean that the true purpose of the system - what it is being deliberately made to do - is Y instead of X.
This is amazing Armaan, and I can't wait to see how it continues to grow! I'm so glad your parents encouraged you to do this.
Yeah absolutely! We have private companies using us right now! (We might have an private NGO as a customer--I'm always a little hazy on the exact definition of NGO)

I definitely think we're going to see a lot more people building in this space. There seems to be a growing consensus among the government affairs people I've talked to that it's just a matter of time
They haven't been at all forthcoming. They took down their databases, largely refused to provide detailed information, and it turned out in testimony I think they have over 2000 unpublished viruses in storage. Which to this day they refuse to provide information on or records or the like.

Apparently the viral dna/rna sequencing machines record a lot of data to disk and then software tries to reduce that to the info you want but the raw data contains sequences from everything around including odd bits of dust etc that got in. That data would show fairly conclusively whether they were guilty of not but will they share it? Oh no. I think they'd rather burn the lab down first.

It seems you're misreading that quote. It doesn't say member countries aren't free to impose unilateral sanctions. Only that they have no power to compell other member countries to go along with them, unless they go through the Security Council.
Transactional relationships are completely fine, and personally I prefer them in the work space.

I was commenting on people who’s behavior creates transactional relationships when they wanted something with a deeper interpersonal relationships, and people whose behavior causes transactional relationships but also have nothing of value to make the transaction worth it.

If a billionaire calls me up once every five years for a favor but pays me a couple of million for it, I’ll take the call any day.

If someone I met at college a few times calls me up once every few years when they got laid off and only are talking to me for a reference but are never in a position to to help me, what reason do I have to help them other than a feeling of charity?

I guess I’m saying you shouldn’t treat others as impersonal machines to be manipulated unless you are ok with that same behavior being turned back on yourself.
i upvoted you depsite some downvotes because i would like to hear your argument on why this isn't expensive. if it takes a high end consumer video card that costs $1-2k something like 10 seconds to generate a single low res image, presumably effectively real-time video combined with user inputs would be extremely, extremely demanding and therefore expensive. i mean basic napkin math for 25FPS is 250 GPUs, which is half a million dollars in hardware, and around $20/hour in electricity alone
> You see this happening because large corps simply are more efficient.

More efficient in terms of doing things at low cost in a system them manipulated to give them a cost advantage. True. Supermarkets are monopsony buyers, tech companies use patent thickets to keep out new entrants. They lobby for regulations that small businesses without separate compliance departments cannot afford to keep up with.
That's one definition of armed. What if only one person had had a bat? Two people? When does it become generally described as "armed"? 99.9% of the people had no weapons other than their bodies. 100% of the people didn't have firearms. Saying it's armed and leaving it at that is a bit misleading, don't you think? Also I wouldn't call it interference when clearly Congress is less representative of the people than...the people themselves.

However I think this argument won't go anywhere. Clearly the difference between us is that you have a faith in authority that I simply lack. This discussion is really religious in nature and highlights the extent to which different groups of people have diverged in this country.

All I can say is, if you had a little more faith in the common people and a little less in authority figures you might have a more optimistic outlook on the upcoming century.
Yeah exactly, and they'll only know things that people tell them about. So tell them about Luanti.

I have given lots of classes to kids and young people, and if I followed your logic there I would have only told them about stuff I thought they already knew about. Luckily, I didn't.
There have always been some. I remember kids just randomly filling in bubbles on the standardized tests 40 years ago when I was in school. There was no consequence to them and they just didn't care.
> I want a Minecraft that tells intriguing stories with infinite quest generation. Procedural infinite world gen recharged gaming, where is the procedural infinite story generation?

You're not gonna get new intriguing stories from AI which only regurgitates what it's stolen. You're going to get a themeless morass without intention.

I also find it amusing how your example to Siri uses one of the oldest pieces of literature when you also tire of stories heard a thousand times before.
What are the tradeoffs to something like this? What attack vectors are still present and what attack vectors does this prevent? Thanks, cool project!

What far-end conservatives learned and what sjws are starting to discover is that mainstream exposure is a trap. You can get Walmart to say "Merry Christmas" (instead of happy holidays) or "Black Lives Matter", but that doesn't actually translate to any material church attendance or racial equity. All it does is create the illusion that your side is more of an oppressive force than it actually is, which alienates moderates like the author who can potentially be allies.
If those are to personal email addresses, they would be forbidden under GDPR (EU & UK) as not opt in and no right of deletion, ie misuse of personal data.

If they are coming to work (ie non-personal) email addresses then the employers could have some course of action, eg in the UK remove the implied right of access to email servers and then invoke the Computer Misuse Act for unauthorised use of those systems. I have eventually had some effects with variations of the second.
Show HN: Textyle Is a Universal Web Annotator Based Around Groups and Channels
Hi everyone! My name is Kyle, and I built Textyle originally as a way of adding my own business and engineering context on top of the online documentation that I used every day. I was using the Amazon CDK documentation often and thought it would be useful to mark it up to avoid my and my team's repeated questions by opening up question threads directly on the source of truth.

Annotations are made on a layer on top of the web and are anchored there by matching XPath and text. They are organized into groups similar to Slack workspaces and Discord servers and are also separated into channels.

After having built the product, candidly, I'm not sure what the best use case for a tool like this is, but I thought I would show it to you!

XDefiant officially shutting down as Ubisoft announces FPS end date
Well if you ask GPT-4o the following:

Give me keywords to search for based on this sentence "international relations about the country with the capital city of Ankara"

You get the following:

- Turkey international relations
- Ankara diplomacy
- Turkey foreign policy
- Turkey global partnerships
- Turkey international politics
- Turkey geopolitical strategy
- Turkey foreign affairs
- Turkey global relations
- Turkey NATO relations (if relevant to your topic)
- Ankara as a diplomatic hub

So it is not unsurprising that the same link was returned
> And are they there ... illegally? Or legally?

Not relevant to the political question. The point is there is anger at the number of migrants European politicians let in.

I agree that soldiers don't stage a coup on the orders of a general alone.

You need a general with likeminded officers, and a convincing excuse for the rank and file to go along with their officer's orders.

Something like "the election was stolen, the winners weren't legitimately elected, we've got to defend our country". It doesn't need to survive detailed scrutiny, a few hours is long enough for the major scrutineers to accidentally fall out of windows.
Interesting example. As programming languages and tooling such as static analysis become more and more advanced I would think memory leaks or mismanagement of memory is going to become a thing of the past. So I would argue that one way or another this was bound to happen.
Sad thing is that researchers and NGOs are policing away at old wells on a shoestring budget while the original operators have made off with lots of money. Extract the profits, socialize the damages...
hard to tell which side you are talking about here TBH, because while one side has talked up a big game about what they may or may not do, the other side has been actively weaponizing our institutions against aforementioned side.
The interwebs say that disc brakes are better able to dissipate heat, provide more consistent braking performance, and generally reduce stopping distance.

Drum brakes are old fashioned, most US vehicles switched to at least disc brakes in the front in the late 1970s and early 80s. Drums in the rear make the parking brake simple, and rear brake performance is less important as more braking force comes from the front.

I don't know about being "for poor people", except that poor people may be more likely to have older vehicles, but I don't know that that extends to using vehicles that old, most vehicles with drums are 40+ years old at this point, and keeping something that old alive starts to get spendy because parts are trickier to find, and it costs time or money or both to adapt parts from other vehicles (like upgrading to disc brakes from a newer car)
This is to a personal email addresses. Yeah, I agree, I think they would at least have to give me a list of the 3rd parties? But I am in the US :(
That's an odd thing to complain about. Focusing on such a minor issue feels overly critical at this stage, like anything less than a pixel perfect 3D world representation of the source image is unacceptable. Insulting? Come on... Max Cant works at DeepMind so I'm sure he's fine.
Very interesting concept! I was about to dive right in when a voice in my head reminded me that my inbox discipline is terrible and I don’t need even more automated emails that will serve only to increase my unread count (which currently stands at 16878 in my
Personal inbox).

Have you considered expanding this to notify via other mediums such as iMessage (if possible, this would be my preference) or the presumably easier WhatsApp/Telegram (the Telegram Bot API is pretty great, I’d imagine would be very easy)?

I’d also echo the free trial sentiment expressed elsewhere in the comments, take the mythical drug dealer approach and get ‘em hooked on freebies!
Hey! soapland and the banana-show are a great time!
Consuming content is really just another capitalist activity, you’re producing views, impressions, you’re trading away attention in exchange for some entertainment.

Instead, go outside and consume nature. Consume a sunset, not a TV show.
Damn, I got Gangnam styled on video #3.

This. It's the deceit that's hurtful, not the transactional relationship itself.
I'm very curious about this. How do you benchmark them?
Yet, if you look at real wages over time, they're stagnating in pretty much every developed country. Productivity has gone up consistently while wages lag far behind. Where is all that value going to? Because it isn't certainly being left on the table.
Thank Paul — Supabase has always been such a huge inspiration for us!

Yes you can spin up sqlite directly in the browser, and on the local studio version you can actually spin up both MySQL and Postgres instances. You have to have docker running as well, and we will automatically spin up the containers for you, making it a completely hands-off experience!

You can connect through them instantly through the GUI without needing to configure anything. We are actually going to be releasing something later this week that will really help with the local dev story by making those local databases accessible from the web

Maintaining a pool gets less easy as the amount of gunk added increases in proportion to the volume of water. A lightly used swimming pool? Not so bad. A lightly used swimming pool with an attached spa with spillover? Barely any harder, unless you care about maintaining a nonzero chlorine residual in the hot tub. Residential hot tub that doesn't spill into a pool and gets any amount of serious use? Utterly gross without real effort.

And all of this assumes that you're just not concerned about cryptosporidium. The chlorine levels in a pool do not reliably kill cryptosporidium! So you need something like UV, which will kill it as it goes through the UV chamber.

A splash pad has huge load of junk and a small water volume. The one nice property is that almost all the exposure is to water that is fresh out of the pump and associated filters, which makes UV quite attractive.
