If you don't regularly do house fixing/improving or household chores, and you just pay someone, you easily fall into the trap of believing it is all very simple and of low value. You soon will wonder why you 'pay so much' and it is still 'poorly executed' and taking 'too much time'. Having experienced the problems mentioned in the article puts one down to earth.
No a bad recipe for success.
Representing Graphs in PostgreSQL with SQL/PGQ
Lots of great memories using Pi-hole and messing with RPi. I eventually ended up putting my devices on Tailscale and managing DNS through it, eventually using Mullvad VPN as the exit node.

Pretty good interface, and most people just have to connect using the app. Having a virtual network between devices with dedicated IPs is pretty nice too.
Navigating Menopause, Empowered and Supported
Yeah, the counter-point to this is something like Yates' Revolutionary Road—you're not as special as you think, you definitely don't have the ambition to back up the way you think your life should look and probably not enough to make anything of it even if you were dropped into that situation for free, most of your misery is because you think you should have something else, and hey, look around—of course you don't like your job, that's the deal, and the more "nice life" you want the less you'll like it, and that accidental-success you're seeing there without even trying is something you should be leaning into rather than being repulsed by.

In short, being a little clever just means you can live normal life on easy mode and you shouldn't feel bad about that, and wanting something more meaningful or glamorous or romantic without actively putting in the work to make that happen and accepting the sacrifices that come with it is just you making yourself miserable for no good reason.

(And of course if you're in the throes of that sort of a mood, being familiar with the above perspective just makes it worse, even as it offers a way out to acceptance of a life as an ordinary schlub who doesn't have things too hard, LOL)

[EDIT] I'm nearing the end and I think, to this piece's credit, some of this criticism of the perspective character's ("your") mindset is present as both text and subtext, plus a good deal of the darker thoughts and moments we're clearly to take as the output of a mind that's unwell and trying to square external reality, perceived un-reality of their situation, a certain awareness of their own privilege, plus the inescapable fact that they simply are not doing OK and are aware that they aren't and also aware that they should be and everyone else seems to be—rather than taking them as something the author intends for us to take as big-T or objectively True just because the perspective character is presenting these thoughts to us.
I agree, bundlers and bundler plugins have probably been the main thing people see with JS ecosystem and think is overly complicated.
It does thought. You can't assign new meaning to $ and $$ and expect that it works flawlessly with magic statements and the stores.

At the very least the conversion between the versions will be very messy and error prones, especially using the migration tools.

Not to mention the designs of runes was still unstable back then. Heck even now it is still very awkward to use runes with sveltekit. You need $state and $effect everywhere for the page data.

So how up to date and idiomatic all the React code shoveled into production servers by LLM's can be, if their training data is mostly riddled with deprecated styles?
In this case though, licensing their code is their use of the product. Don't let your ire of patent trolls lump everyone together. I'm not saying MPEG/Via-LA are angels, but they own rights to code that is used by millions while holding active licenses with people using that code.
Googling a question and finding an incorrect answer every now and then doesn’t mean that googling is useless. It means that you need to learn how to use google. Trust but verify. Use it for scenarios where you aren’t looking for it to be the trusted fact checker. It excels at brainstorming, not at fact giving.
Good find! Interesting data in that. I don't think a garage is a requirement to charging at home, but that's still a fair point and a lower number than I expected.
Given the (required) note that the misleading set of "triangles" is not drawn to scale, there is a range of solutions between 1 and 5.56776, since the angle of BCD is not specified to be 180 degrees (just as angle BAC is not given)

You could instead fold up the lines connected to the D point, into a V shape with the D point at the bottom, such that the points B and C (the top tips of the V) are separated horizontally by length 2 (and vertically by 0), and use the length 5 and 3 sides to go 4 units straight left or right from the top center of the V, and place point A and connect back to the far side of the V. Now point A is 3.87298 units above and 4.0 units to the side of point D, a diagonal length of 5.56776.

You could continuously deform this shape back down to the straight line case.

Now that I think about it, in the process of that deformation, there might be a point where slightly widening the V would allow you to place the point slightly higher and get an even larger max distance.
Not that I would have had to, just ran a test:

> Me: I'm trying to use a cooperator in my schematic, how do I hook it up? Also what's a suitable cooperator for 3.3v logic level?

> Gemini: It sounds like you might be thinking of a comparator, not a "cooperator," in your schematic. Comparators are electronic circuits that compare two voltages [...] LM393: This is a low-power, dual comparator that can operate from a 3.3V supply. Its output can be directly connected to most 3.3V logic circuits.
It shouldn't be the tool's job to tell the user what is and isn't a good question. That would be like compilers saying no if they think your app idea is dumb, or screwdrivers refusing to be turned if they think you don't really need the thing you're trying to screw. I would advocate for less LLM censorship, not more.

The question is useful as a test of the AI's reasoning ability. If it gets the answer wrong, we can infer a general deficiency that helps inform our understanding of its capabilities. If it gets the answer right (without having been coached on that particular question or having a "hardcoded" answer), that may be a positive signal.
We're dealing with an emergent technology. No one knows for certain how far it can be pushed. While I don't think the tech is ready to displace workers today, policies like the one's outlined in this piece serve as a form of contingency planning with little sunk or opportunity cost for considering them.

Only problem with the Niro is that depending on which year you get, it's not possible to get a proper read on how much the battery has degraded with an OBD dongle - something the E-GMP based cars in Kia and Hyundai's lineup allow you to see quite easily.

But yes, my car is now almost 2 years old (Kia EV6 AWD GT Line) and so far when its lost around 600Wh of capacity, so less than 1%.

Right! When my Pi died, my network didn't look for a backup DNS, so everything became inaccessible. It was weird - probably the classic SD card issue. With NextDNS, while I do use DNS over TLS, if my Synology fails, it just kicks back to regular NextDNS domain name servers.
Searching is an area where LLM technology excels. It makes sense, given their structure.

> Its not our Job to aid the world. Foreign aid is a huge money laundering scam by and large. We have major problems here on our own shores.

Not that huge, not a scam either given America is so deeply hated on most of the world, America decided to fight and kill everyone who even thought about "communism" whatever that meant, USAID is its foreign marketing team. Seems like it doesn't want to market itself. that's fine, You also quoted medicare and snap there, I hope you're not one of those that think having well fed people and farmers is not part of a governments job.

If you can't build a nuclear power plant safely, maybe you shouldn't build it at all. Also some firings were people who handle the nuclear weapons.

It's so great that you mention doing more with less and a meritocracy in this instance given that, the washout rate for being an air traffic controller is incredibly high and there is a deficit of air traffic controllers.

Ha. TIL that if you XOR the car emoji with 0x20 (ie. you make it "lower case"), you get the "no pedestrian" emoji. It probably won't encode below but this was copied and pasted from tfa. It seems too coincidental to be an accident - anyone who has insight to know whether this was done on purpose?

If you take this too far, you might get strange ideas, like the lower-case version of the car emoji being a ‘no pedestrians’ sign:

How xAI made the world largest GPU cluster operational in 122 days
That wouldn't stop the developer from abandoning the project though. I don't like using closed source tools when I can avoid it. Visual studio is a big exception because Microsoft will never abandon it in a million years, it's literally their flagship IDE.

The same argument can be made for the jet brains IDEs. But a closed source tool made by a solo developer just seems too risky for me, even if the OP was giving it away I'd be a little bit reluctant to use it.
I think we've all had jobs where we were paid much more than we ever expected, that on paper looked like "dream jobs," where our acquaintances would gently rib us about how fortunate and pampered we were, yet working there we felt like an abused puppy until we finally resigned. This story really brought back that weird combination of dread and gratefulness that I simultaneously felt while working such a job.
Working at Microsoft, my final task was to write a monitoring and keepalive subsystem for an API that aggregated monitoring dashboards.

This is absolutely how that feels. With the exception of my boss reneging on promised expenses and the magical realism elements: I came in, did scrum, said everything was fine, then fucked around on factorio because I could be interrupted at any time, with a 5 minute SLA target, but often days passed between these events. Don’t worry, I had tons of recommendation panels to advise on steering committees to sit silently on. It’s… it’s this, you have nothing to do and all the time to do it in, paid (in my case) primarily to not work somewhere else.

I never even learned the names of the products the dashboards monitored.
I set up pi-hole recently after hearing about it for years. I was kind of surprised at a lack of really basic features (imo):

There isn't any kind of "dry run" or "phantom" mode, where requests are not actually blocked, but appear marked in the log UI as "would be blocked". This is super important because I want to see all the things my home network is doing that would be blocked before I actually hit the big red button. I want to fix up the allow/denylist before going live.

It's also not possible (or not clear) how to have different behavior for different clients. For my "smart tv" which I begrudgingly have to allow on my network occasionally for software updates, I want to treat it with the strictest possible list. But for my phone, I don't want that same list. There's a concept of "groups" so perhaps this is user error on my part, but the UI does not make this clear.

It's not real reimbursement, you were reimbursed already when you "added value" and sold the goods or services to someone else for more than you paid for. The money you took contains VAT and most of that you will keep yourself because you paid for it. You will the take the say 20% you collected when you sold goods, subtract the VAT your supplier put on their invoice to you and give the rest to the government. You are in a way reimbursing the government. It's possible to get reimbursed by the government if you spent more money on VAT than you collected yourself - it happened to me as a freelancer if I spent more money on bills but either didn't generate any income or worked for foreign companies and my invoices were VAT free.

When all of this happens depends on the jurisdiction I guess. I had to do it quarterly. Some other people I know did it yearly. "Real" companies are probably again different, and different in different countries.
The point is that SSRIs (and reuptake inhibitors in general) are extremely crude. It's like using a dull rock instead of a scalpel, or full body radiation to remove a mole on your hand. They have a lot of secondary and tertiary effects we don't understand, nor do we truly understand the primary mechanism.

We don't know exactly what these drugs do to the body, how they do it, or what the consequences really are.

They have good outcomes for a small section of the population and that's about all we know.

One could argue that over-prescription of such a poorly understood class of drug is far more harmful.

I just picked up a used 2021 Hyundai Kona EV back in December. It had been leased for a corporate fleet and only had 28K miles on it. After the federal tax credit for used EVs ($4000, paid directly to the dealership so they just applied it like a discount), it was less than half of the original price of the car.

I reckon a good chunk of the depreciation is due to the original federal tax credit of $7,500 for new BEVs was also applied to the lease costs, so all-in-all roughly half of the ~$20,000 of depreciation was from tax credits in my case.
If we (US) could take the crony out of our capitalism, then we'd be in a much better place.
Good thing the US doesn't have an administration that will happily criminalize any opposition
No, they don't. The CRJ, and in fact most smaller airliners including the A320 and 737 do not have the ability to dump fuel.

In larger aircraft that do have the ability to dump fuel, the reason is to make the airplane lighter so it does not have do an overweight landing and the subsequent high-cost overweight landing inspection. It is not done to reduce the probability of a post-crash fire.
This is by far the most persistent piece of misinformation about EVs. In the US in 2020, on average, EVs co2 emissions corresponded to an average ICE vehicle that got 91mph. On the highest carbon intensity (ie dirtiest) grid in the country that figure was 44mph in SERC Midwest. The best was in upstate NY at 246mph. So, even in the worst case when driving like vehicles its a lot cleaner to drive an EV. It is true that the dirtier the grid the longer it takes to overcome the higher manufacturing emissions.

The Union of Concerned Scientists had a study which shows the math on all this. Of course these are the 2020 numbers so everything is better now than it was then.

Even I have seen it used in other senses by Americans, and I've never been to America. AFAICT it has only acquired that sense, at least to the extent it currently has, after #BLM.

I solved it, to my own surprise, by considering a more general problem. I wanted to get an interval for the solution, so I replaced 3 with y. Now for y=5, the solution is obvious. x(y) is a increasing function and its minimum is... oh!
For a moment I misread this as "Rotating logs are mini-ecosystems", as a complaint about disorganized cloud-computing.

> "Faithful execution" is in the eye of the beholder and is up for debate.

The semantics here are everything, it's the debate. What does the Constitution mean and what was the purpose of America? We've reached ground zero here.

To me, the purpose of America is a government for the people made possible by checks and balances -- separating powers so that they can't be abused, and giving the people ultimate choice.

Maybe you disagree, because that's not what you are suggesting. If we give in to your reading of the Constitution, the executive has the most power of all branches, which shifts power away from the people in a dramatic way.

I've asked you three times now, and you have evaded the central question -- if the executive can pick and choose laws to enforce, defund departments at whim, what is the point of laws at all?

I suspect you haven't answered it directly because you'd have to admit your reading of the Constitution implies a monarchy. And that's why we are debating semantics now, depending on how the words are interpreted we either have a system of checks and balances, or we have unbalanced unchecked power in the executive branch.

> The impoundment law itself was/is controversial

Yeah, it was controversial among people who didn't want to follow the law, and instead wanted to use their power to go around it. The concept of checks and balances is not popular with the people being checked.

I think reliability was one important part missed by the analysis. If the car has to go to the shop, no matter how cheap or insignificant the job, that's still half a day lost.
That's why the sensible buy their EV second hand. I got a 1 year old demonstrator with low miles (3500 on the clock) for 30% less than buying a brand new one.

With an OBD dongle to check the true state of the battery, it's not a risky proposition, and the 7 year warranty on the car and 8 year warranty on the battery means I have some peace of mind.
There are different kinds of power, and I'm honestly not sure Trump can get Musk thrown in jail. On what basis would Trump even do that?

Similarly, Musk can potentially launch a campaign to sway the public to move for Trump to be impeached due to his felony convictions.

A battle between the two might be the shakeup the current empire needs.

Trump may be more powerful than Musk by some metrics, on a time-limited basis (unless he manages to change the term limits), but Musk is more powerful in many ways as well. Musk's wealth is greater than that of many entire countries.

I haven't seen a single ad on my phone in ages, and that's why I can't part with Android (for now).
