Sometimes the street out front of my house will get crowded with parking. I don't mind a few cars here and there on the street, but it gets annoying when its completely slammed. It's not very comfortable driving down a street where there's only a few inches of clearance overall for a long stretch and I'm not even driving a giant truck.

I wouldn't want to live on a street where the street parking is always crowded. Some cars parking some of the time is fine; having people storing stuff on the street or being overcrowded is annoying.
LLM:s are really really good at creating queries. Shaving of the last ms from a complex query? yea, im sure an experienced query optimizer expert might beat it.

But you get very far from letting the LLM run a few queries to gather info about the database and its use.

I got a 5G capable phone a few months back, and I can't say I've noticed a difference from my old one. (Aside from the new phone being more expensive, worse UI, slower, heavier, unwieldy, filled with ads, and constantly prompting me to create a "Samsung account".)

And 99% of that is just the same, boring reasons: style (reason for particular color choices) and protection from corrosion (reason for painting stuff in the first place). The remain 1% is the interesting stuff.

Attracting attention is the well-known case, and there's bunch of established colors with funny names to choose from (like "safety orange", or "international orange" that's hardly even orange). Camouflage is also known, but usually associated with safety or surveillance. "Go away" colors are definitely more niche (though perhaps something city councils talk about).

I did research on that topic when implementing my project https://adsb.exposed/

The list of all data exchanges is here: https://github.com/ClickHouse/adsb.exposed/?tab=readme-ov-fi...

One of the best is https://airplanes.live/ - which currently aggregates data from nearly 1700 feeders globally; they have a legal agreement preventing sale of this data (to avoid situations like with adsbexchange); they share the data on a selective basis.

One of the largest ones, Opensky Network - is supposed to be open for research purposes but they refused my request straight ahead.

https://adsb.lol/ - is controversial. This database is made available under the Open Database License: http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/ plus under CC0, but there is some drama that I don't understand: https://github.com/ClickHouse/adsb.exposed/issues/12#issueco...

On one hand it's nice that the option for that fast wireless connection is available. But on the other hand it sucks that having it means the motivation for ISPs to run fiber to homes in sparse towns goes from low down to none, since they can just point people to the wireless options. Wireless doesn't beat the reliability, latency, and consistent speeds of a fiber connection.
This one's hilarious because it's such a non-issue. I refuse to believe there are American cities with enough nunnery construction that parking regulations to address overcrowding has become a priority for local planners. It's probably just the result of someone picking a number for every structure covered in some regulatory definition that happened to include nunneries.

Putin and Lukashenko are also „democratically elected”.

I am not going to attempt discussing the rest of your argument. You repeat the after Trump that millions of people died (a lot of people died but „millions” if factually incorrect), you blame the problems of EU on EU not going to bed with a dictator… and you’re upset with EU not bending to a dictator.

I made the exact comment somewhere else in the thread. I can’t believe OP’s article made zero mention of that.
Sure, but here's some examples that may be worth a lot of money to the right person, or can just cause a lot of harm:

- Regime critics with a channel on YT.

- Vulnerable individuals and others trying to keep their identity a secret. Putting yourself on YT means putting yourself in front of every deranged individual out there.

- Trump quite famously runs some of his own social media accounts personally, for better or for worse. And even where he doesn't, he probably retains ultimate control - in the case of YT it might be his personal google account that created the channel. He's probably not the only high value target to do so.

Rebase is not harmful, but thanks for your link. There are quite some people that do not understand rebase, and this link helps to get a grasp of how people can be confused.

- in section 2.2, they think that in a feature branch only the latest commit counts. You should not just be interested in how the tip of your feature branch compares to the latest main, but also into the logical sequence of steps your feat branch builds up a feature. In a rebase model, every step of your feature can be compared to main.

- in section 2.2, they conveniently omit what happens if you keep merging main into your feat branch. Your feat branch will show all useless commits telling you that "at this time, my feature diffed such and such from how main looked at at that time". "Oh, and here again a useless diff" "Oh and here again." "By the way, have a nice ball of diffs again". I don't fucking care. Why don't you just commit some info about the local weather at that time too or that your back was hurting on Wednesday 23th?

- "Rebase encourages siloed development". That claim is just ridiculous. If you don't want people to take ownership of a feature, by all means, forego branches. If someone wants to work on my feature, then we just agree that the public feat branch is to be considered public history. When the work finishes, someone can take ownership, (possibly clean up the mess with rebasing) and get it into mainline by rebasing on top of main.

> The one burning question you might have: why didn’t you just charge individual users for Rise? It obviously is one that we contemplated a lot, too. The first reason is one based on the fact that we always believed that in order to help teams, we needed to rely on individual users to bring us in. We wanted ‘Product Led Growth’. And we felt that free usage would put us in the best possible position to do so.

I think 'product-led growth' is a euphemism for expecting users to give you unicorn hockey-stick growth for free. Relying on individuals to pull in their employers and teams requires strong pmf, and also requires a very specific user with personal usage patterns that overlap with their professional usage patterns.

I think that 4 years of product-led growth not working should've shown that something needed to change, and that baseline profitability while searching for pmf should've been a higher goal than hockey-stick growth and turning Rise into a unicorn -- but I know, I know: investors.

Regardless, sad to see them go. This was a great refresher on the startup journey.
> If there is a place where I would spend eight minutes looking for parking, I would rather not go.

What happens when that place is your own home?

Do you routinely cancel necessary appointments or meetings with friends because you cannot find parking?

Eight minutes sounds excessive, but I don't think it's as uncommon as people think. Sitting at a traffic light or circling a single city block can take five minutes. There are paid parking structures which take ten minutes to enter, find a space, park, and then exit the structure.
And then problems happen!
Ever since Carta it has been stuck at 15:1 and it is trivial to see that e.g. Remarkable has better contrast than the newer (B&W) Kobos.

This is false. Carta is the B&W family of eink Panels...The most recent one (the Carta 1300) has significantly improved contrast over the 2021 era panel, the Carta 1000. It's trivial to see that, and nobody looking at the most recent Kobo B&W would claim that it has less contrast than a 2021-era device. The Remarkable 1 uses a custom co-developed version of the Canvas panel which has reduced the thickness of the touchscreen layers and other layers above the eink panel, which is the primary cause of reduced contrast in e-ink devices (including the Remarkable 1). (Remarkable 2 uses a custom co-developed version of Gallery, which has greater contrast and amazing color but slower refresh times than Carta or Kaleido.) If you ever get your hands on the eink hardware itself, you would be amazed at how much contrast even the 1st gen panels have...and how much contrast you lose to all the layers that get added above the panels to make them durable and usable in handheld devices.

The _reflective LCD_ one is the one which has become the different SKU... and guess which new SKU is neither stocked nor displayed on stores.

Both the AMOLED and the Solar Watch are separate SKUs with the display in the name. There is no "base" Fenix 8 anymore. And on that note, the closest 5 Best Buys and REIs to me all stock both SKUs for immediate pickup.

So, as I said, unless your usecase involves the eink panel staying static for _days at a time_, plain old LCD will win by far.

This is also false. There have been a number of transflective ereader devices on the market. They get worse battery life and have significantly worse contrast (without backlighting) than their eink counterparts. Seriously dude, if tranflective LCDs got better battery life and had competitive contrast to eink panels, do you really think that every ereader company including Amazon would still be using eink panels over cheaper transflective LCD panels?

With 5G, I have to downgrade to LTE constantly to avoid packet loss in urban canyons. Given the even higher frequencies proposed for 6G, I suspect it will be mostly useless.

Now, it's possible that that raw GB/s with unobstructed LoS is the underlying optimization metric driving these standards, but I would assume it's something different (e.g. tower capex per connected user).
My first puzzled interpretation was of a "reservoir of co-pays", as if there was some kind of financial/insurance exploitation going on.
> Yeah, I'm willing to bet that metaphor gets called out as ludicrous by a higher court, as it has broader implications across types of editorial expression that break down when examined.

It's not ludicrous at all. Whether a work of "selection" from an existing source can be copyrightable in its own right would probably have to be judged on pretty much a case-by-case basis, but even in the context of "selecting" from a ruling there are almost certainly many cases where that work is creative and original enough that it can sensibly be protected by copyright.
Product-Driven Orgs Aren't Perfect but They're the Least Broken
I don't think the article ever claimed that nobody would ever want speeds above 5G. But you have to admit that your use case is uncommon. Only a tiny fraction of people has anywhere near 18 TiB stored locally and an even smaller group regularly wants to do cloud backups of all of it. There are various solutions for only backing up the diff since the last backup, rather than uploading the full image.
There's one graph that basically predicts which countries are going to fail and which are going to prevail. It's the graph that shows how many people in the "doing things" age bracket a country has.

Compare these:

(germany) https://population.un.org/wpp/graphs?loc=276&type=Probabilis...

(alternatively, Europe as a whole) https://population.un.org/wpp/graphs?loc=908&type=Probabilis...

(Japan) https://population.un.org/wpp/graphs?loc=392&type=Probabilis...

(China) https://population.un.org/wpp/graphs?loc=156&type=Probabilis...

to this one

(US) https://population.un.org/wpp/graphs?loc=840&type=Probabilis...

A key aggravating factor is most countries in the first group have stagnating productivity and the country in the second group has raising productivity on top. This creates a compound advantage for the country in the second group.

It seems likely to me that there is almost no degree of anti-national behavior the government of that country would need to exhibit or no amount of country-eroding policies that could forfeit this fundamental advantage. They'd need to get their country literally nuked or something similarly catastrophic.
> This psychological defeat is what keeps you up at night.

I totally agree. I'm a bad programmer who knows little about lower level systems. And it is exactly the thought of "I need to get to the bottom of things" that kept me burning candles after my son went to bed.

But humans are fragile. I wish I were a machine who could just turn on/off with a flip of a switch. Human emotions, good or bad, mostly impede my progression. If I quaff a coffee, I get excited, but that doesn't necessarily mean I can tune into production mode immediately. If I have a depression/anxiety session, it usually wasted that whole day. I guess only the passion part works to some sort.

I look up to people like John Carmack, David Cutler, Tom West and Fabrice Bellard who can design, implement and debug complex systems, given it in hardware or software, or both. I admire most not their technical prowess, but their seemingly emotionless devotion to their objectives.

> Mediocrity is directionless

I can relate to it too. Or maybe it's better to say -- you are mediocre BECAUSE you are directionless. I dabbed into many things, but never drilled deep enough to grow that into a career, or even a serious hobby. I think it's mostly in the Gene, given I have always been like this for the last 40 or so years. I could recall my 5-year old version sitting there, impatient with a construction toy. And when I look at my kid I immediately identify this deficiency. I feel sorry for him because I don't really know how to deal with it myself, let alone guide him through. I might find him a therapist if he goes down into this dark alley for too long.

You're missing the same point as in the other reply. The issue is not whether you can conceivably derive some other reasonable interpretation of the question. The issue is whether a NT interviewer is deft enough at communication so as to make this just a minor hiccup. If they're so flabbergasted by that kind of reply, and just shut down that that point, then yeah, I'm sorry, they just suck at asking for what they want, or are trying to weasel out of owning the real question.

(Edit: Or, even better, why not, like migrate to a question that heads off the misinterpretation in the first place e.g. "Why do you feel this role is a good match for you?" I think you know why.)

Remember, everyday communication constantly has (far-more-obvious) misinterpretations that, in hindsight, with sufficient logical strength, one party could have avoided entirely. Those who are actually good at communication, at "talking about facts", can easily identify the mismatch and narrow down what they want. This remains true regardless of how obvious a thing one party missed.

So yes, I get it, you can derive a better interpretation. That's beside the (original) point about, why can't you ask for what you really want? Why would you say something like, "[uhhh, oh crap, I have no self-awareness...] Just, whatever you interpret the question to mean"?

And, as with the other commenter, it's kind of funny that you're discounting the possibility that an NT would ever be in a position where they can't/don't want to ask the question they really want to, and are in a position of power to expect the interviewee to volunteer it. ("Yes I'm desperate enough to really need the money and make up some story about how I really like your company/line of work to cover it.")

This is really cool. I played several games and will play more later.

A couple suggestions from my experience:

* Consider a mode that is like Balanced mode, but with weightings applied to somewhat un-skew the geographical distribution. This suggestion prompted by it having felt like it was a bad strategy to guess anything other than Egypt for something that was Islamic.

* Include some way to cap the number of images. There was one artifact (an Iranian rug, sorry I didn't have the presence of mind to copy a link to it) that had 132 images and took over a minute to load. This was the most extreme example, but there were others that had many images and took a long time to load. I feel like 10 images would probably be a good max.

> Transmitting high-end 4K video today requires 15 Mb/s, according to Netflix.

It doesn't really change their argument, but to be fair, Netflix has some of the lowest picture quality of any major streaming service on the market, their version of "high-end 4K" is so heavily compressed, it routinely looks worse than a 15 year old 1080p Blu-Ray.

"High-end" 4K video (assuming HEVC) should really be targeting 30 Mb/s average, with peaks up to 50 Mb/s. Not "15 Mb/s".
