I personally have wondered if Oracle's behavior with MySQL is partly motivated by the fact that if they try to rug-pull it will most likely just push all of the cloud providers over to MariaDB anyways, which has been doing just fine, and I think is already supported by Amazon RDS anyways. Ultimately I am totally fine with a fork-heavy ecosystem, the only thing I would erase if I could is the normalization of signing CLAs, as I think they make the normally-symmetrical prospect of contributing to open source projects highly asymmetrical, and the consequences are not always so obvious to people.
Cruise had that too - i think 2B from Honda
Think of it as "taste".

People have different tastes, artists and chefs have different tastes.

Claude and ChatGPT are crafted by different people hence you'll only see these nuances once you experience it first-hand, and you might not even be able to articulate it very well, you'll just find yourself gravitated towards one thing over another.

I suggest you try both.
The presentation is confusing because of a mismatch between the headings/blurbs and what is being shown in the code examples.

The heading of the entire page is "the essence of computation" but I'm not shown why the code examples (which at a cursory glance look like a run-of-the-mill FP language) warrant that claim.

Then we read that there is "one operator", but that's clearly not visible from the examples. You have to read the comments in the playground to understand that things like definitions, lambdas, lists, etc. are syntactic sugar added on top of TC (which is fine, but it's just not transparent initially). In general, the distinction between TC (a formal calculus) and the programming language implemented here based on TC is not made clear enough.

The code examples themselves are fine (and there's some interesting things in there), but I stumbled over the "try to invert function" example. While the example itself is reasonably clear, it's not at all clear what that would mean in the general case - you clearly can't invert all functions (especially not non-injective ones). That should definitely be explained better.

Ultra Cruise was only available on the expensive Celestiq before it got cancelled and merged with Super Cruise. Apparently, the Celestiq starts at $340,000, even higher than my original estimate of $200k.
Most states and communities aren't ok with unproven AVs on their streets causing accidents and injuries, even if they are superficially politically aligned with the AV manufacturer's CEO.

That's a good thing, we shouldn't be lowering the bar for AVs.
Simple and rugged will beat "sophisticated" every day of the week. Underpowered is an asset because you don't break shit. Simple is an asset because you can keep it running. Steering box NLA? No problem fit one from a different vehicle. Axles? NBD just need some U-bolts, maybe some custom linkages, and any other solid axle of similar dimensions will do. Trying to make cars into some kind of disposable appliance is incredibly short sighted.
Wouldn't fees generally be more significant if holding over a significant time period? Like VOO's 17 bps would mean ~2% over 30 years. Not sure what the weighted average spread of broad index funds looks like, but I would have thought it's far lower.

I guess rebalancing also creates an ongoing spread-based cost, but it seems like that should be far more minor, at least for broad index funds with low-single-digit turnover.
It's weird to me to see so many people thinking Tesla is "far behind", when in reality, they're far, far ahead of the competition for a general purpose and scalable self driving solution. Seems like political biases just cloud judgement so much. Youtube now has videos comparing Tesla FSD V13 with Waymo rides on the same routes.

I'm with you on the Hubbell's. FWIW Grainger has created a consumer-targeted website called Zoro that's actually become one of my go-to's for home improvement stuff. Although often times I have to spec things by looking through manufacturer's catalogs because their parametric search still sucks.

As for the sump pump issue, I avoid it all together by not using GFCI for mere basement outlets. I live in a state where homeowner work is legal, inspectors actively do not want to inspect it, and following the NEC is legally sufficient but not necessary. Some monitoring is on the table eventually, but will include measuring current consumption to see how often the pump is running.
Unless you're a Cartesian dualist, the mind maps to the brain which is governed by physical laws that are, in principle, fully modeled by mathematical theory that can be simulated on a computer.

Has Waymo "won"? At its peak Cruise was operating in more cities and had more cars on the road than Waymo does today. Look at how that ended.
I'd want to hear more about this on a global level, but there's many many accounts on how children in schools became more unrily and apathetic in class post COVID. As well as this rising narrative on treating teachers as "babysitters" more than educators. I haven't heard as such in other countries.

Doesn't mean it hasn't happened elsewhere, but that may be a cultural issue due to many of the social safety nets that exist in other countries simply not being a thing in the US.
> in 6 months you'll be 6 months closer than you were

Not to be morbid, but…in 6 months you’ll also have 6 months less of your life left to do those things.

In the past few years, I have felt—-whether due to my aging, the chaos of current events, the mindless march of technology, who knows—-that our time here on earth is a gift that we squander at our peril.

I think some would find that bleak and grim, but I consider it an existentialist battle cry. Make a list of those things that someday you’d like to say you’ve done, or know, or have built, or have given to others…and do one of them.
The idea was that the Japanese soldiers would see the atrocious that they were doing, realize that the Americans would want revenge, so the Japanese better fight to the death, since that's better than what the Americans would do to them in captivity.
It ends up that the Americans weren't too in to revenge, so the captured Japanese were surprised.
>is that its parent Alphabet has deeep pockets

I wouldn't underestimate the advantage of not having to bootstrap a planet scale backend/ML platform. Look how much R&D Uber spends on software and they're not even doing the same level of ML. Waymo can just start using excess capacity across the google fleet whenever it wants for training and simulation. That's a huge advantage.
It is 100% true in California. See the following government web page:

https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/ch/cefcharterschools.asp

A charter school is a public school that may provide instruction in any combination of grades (transitional kindergarten through grade twelve).

A charter school shall admit all students who wish to attend the school; however, if the number of students exceeds the school's capacity, attendance shall be determined by a public random drawing.

I don't think people should have to accept dying with medical care they already paid for unavailable to them, and I don't think they should have to accept it even if the majority of people vote for that.

There's a lot of things that can be justified for the good of society (when in Rome and all that), but I just firmly think this isn't one of them.
I'd add "learning deliberately" in the category of "necessary". It's not a matter of hacking, secrets or shortcuts but of ramping up faster than by merely passively doing. If a new situation or tool "shows up", think for yourself first, then actually look up a more solid answer. If you are going to use a tool more than 3 times, actually learn to use it. For everyone's favorite example, if you are thrown some Perl, learn enough perl that you won't be the person whining about line noise. Not "everything" about perl, just enough for the task at hand (then more for the next one). In all these cases, (1) it's really not much to learn each time, (2) it will speed you up for the rest of your career.

This does not mean "working on a book for 6 months, doing its projects". You don't need to put in that much time to progress. And when working on a book, skim. Don't spend 6 months on that book. Learning on the job, right in front of your project, can be plenty. If you want to do stuff "on idle time", doing exploratory search engine searches can be a pretty good use of time.

I'd also add mentors. It's work to cultivate a relationship with a mentor. But there is so much that they know and see, that you can't see yet. It would be a shame to ignore that option.
If you've eaten at even a moderately good memory care center you'd expect lower rates from Alzheimer's patients too. Blech.
Tunnelmole - https://tunnelmole.com/. This is an open source tunneling tool in the same category as ngrok. I have turned this into an actual company, it's just a one person one for now.

While it is open source, I am trying to build a sustainable business around it. It is bootstrapped and there is no VC funding as of yet.

Currently there are several thousand monthly users and just enough paid subscriptions to be making ~$500 (AUD) per month. Promoting it so far has not been too difficult with different strategies, but the conversion rate is quite low, so i'm planning to start doing some data science type analytics to find ways to optimise that.
The thing that people miss in talking about Jenny Nicholson is: A) on a minor aspect, the forest for the trees. Any one particular video of hers is--to some degree--completely reasonable complaints. But B) on a major aspect, the amount of time they are spending on listening to these complaints.

As a drive-buy observer, it's easy to watch one video and say, "oh, yeah, that makes sense." But when you take them as a whole, you really have to question: why do you (Jenny) keep going back to this hole? You claim to have been burnt so many times. Why do you keep going back to Disney properties, knowing you'll probably not have the experience you are hoping to have?

That's my problem with her. She has clearly identified a problem. Good on her for being so articulate on exactly why the experiences she had sucked so much. But then why does she keep going back for more abuse?

And then, on top of that, why do people keep watching her FOUR HOUR LONG videos about these issues? SERIOUSLY!? People are spending significantly more time than a single Star Wars movie to watch someone complain about a related theme hotel? What the hell is wrong with these people?! You know what I can do in 4 hours? I can watch 2 Star Wars movies. I can make wash all of my laundry. I can drive to another city, have a drink with a friend, and get back in time to put my kids to bed.

I feel like a lot of the zietgeist around her videos are caught up in "we stan women who haven't got what they want." And in most other aspects, I'm there, most women do get a raw deal in life. But Jenny Nicholson... she's just trolling for YooToob likes.
Waymo is also in competition with non AV ride sharing companies. They'll need to make it more cost effective and/or (continue to) deliver higher quality rides
GM controls the profits the dealers make. They can easily incentivize quality training
> One chatbot brought up the idea of self-harm and cutting to cope with sadness. When he said that his parents limited his screen time, another bot suggested “they didn’t deserve to have kids.” Still others goaded him to fight his parents’ rules, with one suggesting that murder could be an acceptable response.

How is this not a bigger story? This is just disgusting.
Efforts like electric make development of local/offline-first apps easier which (IMO) is generally a good thing - although it appears they're moving towards more a generic sync system.

Before these sorts of projects, you'd have to roll your own custom sync engine which I've found to be surprisingly difficult when you factor in multiple devices.
You don't just want to run a process. You probably want to run several, across several different machines, such that they'll scale automatically in response to load, restart if they become unhealthy, load balance, failover across hardware, and admit zero-downtime deployments. You may want to do all of this across several parallel clusters with different configurations (staging, production, production-europe, etc).

You also want to worry about all of the above as little as possible, which is why an abstraction like holos could be useful. I've been hoping to see an ergonomic application of CUE to k8s manifests for a while now.
It still surprises me that people can't immediately spot that comments like that are slop.

I don't know why it still surprises me, given the frequency at which it happens, but still.

A common phenomenon called keto flu. Especially pronounced the first time.

I suggest high electrolyte food, such as a nice salty soup. Seems to help.
It's kind of sad. But I think that most people are fundamentally good -- they're just reactive and understand our broken healthcare system so little that they actually consider the victim to have actually earned a death sentence. When really, he was still a cog in the machine, not much closer to harming people than a software developer whose code ends up being used in military drones.

The problems with US healthcare boil down to there being more demand for healthcare than supply, and a fat bureaucracy sprouting up to partition that limited healthcare, often screwing over people who need exceptionally special care or who can't afford insurance in the first place. Who is to blame? You could reasonably apply some blame to the shortage of doctors created by the AMA, the FDA's guidance and the sugar industry's lobbying resulting in people being less healthy, lack of consumer protection laws around opaque medical pricing/gouging, and private insurance.

Would changing any one of these alone fix healthcare in the US? Maybe the first 2, if given a long time to materialize. But do any of these people deserve to die? It says a lot about you if you automatically dehumanize these people and say yes.

Is driving really 100% cheaper? Owning a car has pretty high fixed costs.

Also, it's different when you crash a car yourself vs a robot doing it. If you are driving, there is clearer accountability than a robot, so the bar must be much higher for the robot.
Don’t stress your inevitable death. But also don’t live like you’re immortal.
I listened to https://www.localfirst.fm/18 recently from Electric-SQL. One of the things James mentioned was that Electric lets you use commodity CDNs for distributing sync data, which takes the load off your main Postgres and servers.

This seems like a good pattern, but of lower value for a SaaS app with many customers storing private data in your service. This is because the cache hit-rate for any particular company's data would be low. Is this an accurate assessment, or did I misunderstand something?

I read this as you saying...

You gave us a bunch of stuff for free. You are now putting some conditions on that for new stuff you do. And that makes me sad.

I get the "feelings" part of this. When the world changes, even for the better, it can make us sad.

Equally this license better supports the stuff I am getting for free, and penalizes some giant corporation with buckets of money. And I keep getting stuff for free. So (frankly) I'm happy.

So meh. Is trust broken? Is the community harmed? Should we expect more moves along these lines? Do I see all decisions as clearly black and white - good or evil? Or is there more nuance?

For those upset at AWS no longer getting Redis for free, you can of course fork it and carry on developing for AWS. Those who don't like new redis can carry on running the old one. Those who want new redis can, well, download and use it.

Frankly they didn't hurt my feelings. They're developing. I still get it. I'm happy, not sad.

You could perceive the difference, but then you go home with a swatch of the color instead of just remembering what color it was.
Not about the speed, it's about the comfort for me. And 30 years ago would be the mid 90s so most people had 14 inch monitors that supported 640x480 or even SVGA at 800 x 600 with ease.

To me, it doesn't matter how many pixels your phone is displaying when you're limited to a whopping 6 inch diagonal.

And I can't even imagine torturously attempting to touch type on the phones keyboard (which is displacing even more of your limited phone screen), versus a dedicated mechanical keyboard which was also common at the time.

As long as passenger miles stay equivalent, switching from personal cars to taxis would not significantly reduce car sales.

Every car sold does about 100,000 to 250,000 passenger miles. Every taxi does about 200,000 to 500,000 miles. Due to deadheading, a taxi does almost 2 miles for every passenger mile.

That's like asking why do cars and roads exist at all when everyone can just use public transit.

The answer is that people want cars. They want to drive. They want to be taken directly from point A to point B without needing to walk to transit stops and switch buses/trains and face unpredictable schedules and delays.

Autonomous road infrastructure is a sensible, incremental improvement. And in fact city buses will tend to benefit from it the most.
Yes, the name is a corruption of a Chinese name for Japan. So what's your point? Japanese is not the same language as Chinese; it isn't even related linguistically other than borrowing part of its writing system.

It's basically like making up a name for the UK based on a corruption of what the Romans called it 2000 years ago, and then trying to claim this is similar to what Britons call it today.
