This is actually a 3rd option for laravel. I assume they are making money to support the project by offering these curated cloud deployment offerings.

https://vapor.laravel.com/

https://forge.laravel.com/

https://app.laravel.cloud/
I think a lot of customers take it for granted and expect stuff to "just work".
If they pay for laravel site - they expect it to work, and don't expect to pay for keeping stuff running for the stuff they paid already (feature development + cloud bill)
Love this. Just when you thought you knew all the reserved words, you learn another one.
They kinda do achieve the goals, at a certain level.

Making video calls to loved ones? Sharing photos with family, without hitting some 2MB size limit on e-mails? There are lots of options these days.

If I like quilting and I want to connect with other quilters around the world? Facebook and Reddit have me covered.

Meeting up with friends I already know? Whatsapp will do a solid job.

A modern version of IRC, for ephemeral informal chat, organised around subject areas? Discord has just the thing.

These clearly are attempts at connecting people. Just we've got an "Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation" in spite of them, or as a side-effect of them, for whatever reason.

"The company responded by intensively lobbying the U.S. government to intervene and mounting a misinformation campaign to portray the Guatemalan government as communist.[18] In 1954, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency armed, funded, and trained a military force that deposed the democratically elected government of Guatemala and installed a pro-business military dictatorship.[19]"

This is not a one-time aberration.
Cool, and terrifying. This makes me consider that there is some sort of consciousness in the non-lingual side of split-brain patients.

Which also makes me consider: Is there some sort of consciousness in my own brain I'm not aware of? Sure, my brain does a lot I'm not conscious of—but is there a quiet, thinking awareness that exists in my skull, that I, the mind writing this, do not know of?
> Four years ago, a few months after Mr. Biden’s inauguration, Apple announced an “acceleration” of its U.S. investments, pledging to spend $430 billion and add 20,000 jobs over five years. In January 2018, during Mr. Trump’s first term, the company said that its “direct contribution to the U.S. economy” would be $350 billion over five years and that it planned to create 20,000 jobs over that period

The killer app would be to figure out how to genetically engineer good plant flesh economically in a bioreactor.

Imagine strawberry,pineapple,etc slurry production by the metric ton. With the only input into the facility being atmospheric gasses and electricity.

There would also be huge room for optimization in such a process, such as introduction of antifreeze proteins (as some fish have) to allow storage of various fruit at freezing temperatures without loss of quality.
Slightly off topic, but sharing WiFi passwords on iOS is so very user friendly.
It's library specific rather than language specific.

It's also very common, especially for Wordpress and PHP/MariaDB. If you want cheap no-nonsense hosting it's a good starting option.
It's simply not that widespread of knowledge. Modern Postgres users would never suggest Mongo, but a generation of engineers was taught that Mongo is the NoSQL solution, even though it's essentially legacy tech.

I just ran into a greenfield project where the dev reached for Mongo, and didn't have a good technical reason for it beyond "I'm handing documents". Probably wasn't aware of alternatives. FWIW Postgres would've been a great fit for it, they were modeling research publications.
Again, show your evidence.

You make a polite but still ad hominem "attack" about me instead of addressing my points with demonstrations of evidence.

I hope someday RISC-V boards graduate from Raspberry Pi 3 style "toys".

The VisionFive is hard-wired to boot from SD card, like the RPi used to be, but they eventually realized that was a terrible limitation.

The Milk-V Jupiter, a RISC-V board in an "ATX" form factor, can't boot from USB (without a special SD card to redirect to it).

My message to RISC-V is this: Can't you just be normal?
When claude gets in a loop like this the best thing to do is just start over in a new window.

When you line up claude on some good context and a good question it does really well. There are more specialized llms for sql I would try one of those. Claude is a generalist and for that, it's not great at everything.

It's really good at react and python -- as someone else mentioned -- that junior code is public and available.

However, random sql needs more "guiding" via the prompt. Explain more about the data and why it's wrong. Tell claude, "I think you're producing slop" and he will break out of his loop.

Good luck!
There were both direct subsidies and policies put in place -- such as the license places (which are otherwise hard to get in major cities like Beijing because of efforts to reduce air pollution which was really bad; so for example, you can only drive your car every other day depending on the last digit of your license place (even/odd). However EVs were exempt from this restriction immediately making them extremely popular and cost-effective.
But he does. That’s the reality. So how would you rather he spend it?
Why not just subsidize consumers in these Areas using Starlink? I feel like money invested in physical links in the past has basically disappeared without much change to neglected areas.
Ito calculus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C3%B4_calculus
Workarounds: 781 seconds timer, or 29/31 minute timer.

I’m serious, that’s what I use.
Yeah, I have a war story...

I was working on mobile robot research at JPL back in the 1990s. We had a robot with an arm attached. It worked fine except that every now and then the whole system would crash hard with a totally corrupted heap and stack, just random data everywhere. So no chance of a backtrace. The really weird thing was that this only happened when the arm was moving. We also had the exact same system running under a different operating system and we never had any problems there, so we were 100% sure it was not a compiler error.

It was a compiler error.

It took us a year to figure out what was going on. It turned out that the compiler had a bug where it would emit code that would pop the stack pointer and then pull a value out of the now unprotected stack frame. On the non-embedded system this did not cause any problems, but on the embedded system (running vxWorks) hardware interrupts used the same stack as the process that was running when the interrupt hit. So if we happened to get an interrupt just after the stack pointer was popped but before the unprotected value was grabbed, that value would get stomped on by the interrupt handler. Then when the interrupt handler would return, the process would resume, grab the now-random value, and chaos ensued.
I don’t care one way or another to be honest - he’s free to waste his money however he wants. It’s just amusing after all his proclamations about reinventing farming and changing agriculture that they’re stuck at the level of early 2010s Dutch greenhouses..

It’s a shame that rather than just hire experts and give them access to the unlimited funding to advance the field he attempted to reinvent the wheel with ‘disrupters’ but it is what it is

Is there anything concerning that someone can learn from this that is not already publicly accessible? This information is in children’s science textbooks.
Old thread, so you probably won't see this reply, but just to close the loop.

You're completely right -- most of the stuff you say is 100% on spot. The only thing I'd object to here is that you say "A related study is that ...". Ignore the study! If it seems plausible to you, then that's your intuition, and it's probably solid! I feel the same way, and I've put effort into this as well.

Same with the zombie kids and the screen usage. I do feel like I'm fighting a useless battle because I have been unable to significantly affect my own screen usage, but I try to model good behavior and to try to force myself to follow the same advice I give my kids ("accept being bored sometimes").

> Again, maybe it's rubbish, but my sample size is very small.

Yes! And this is because you are not taking a "scientific" approach to child raising, which is exactly what I would encourage. Don't put a fig leaf on it and try to cite studies about why it is true or what benefits it provides. Just do it and if people ask say that it seems to make sense to you.
If you just mean a closed group of people are passing around stock among each other, never able to collect a dividend or add new participants, then sure such a system would not be positive sum.

But the participants listed, pension funds, banks, HFTs, etc... are not just trading with each other in a closed system. These participants can all trade with each other and all gain from one another precisely because there are dividends paid out, and new participants.

Pension funds need to liquidate or rebalance their portfolio on a short notice or daily basis, so they benefit from trading with HFTs who can take on virtually arbitrary inventory and quickly hedge it, charging a very small and implied fee (usually from a spread or some other implied mechanism), who in turn offload that inventory onto a bank or another pension fund, etc etc...

These participants can all benefit from one another's involvement in the market instead of competing against each other.
Then your implementation can be as simple as CREATE TABLE documents (content JSONB);. But I suspect a PK and some metadata columns like timestamps will come in handy.
By the Overton window of America, I think much of Western Europe is somewhere between "extreme left wing" and blank stares of non-comprehension at the still-present literal Soviet memorials that were never removed when the literal USSR fell.

By the Overton window of Europe, I think the Democrats are "dangerously right wing, look at them being pro-gun". Certainly they are to the right of my personal Overton window, though perhaps I am projecting my own views on my fellow Europeans.

Republicans of faint heart should avoid finding out how Trump gets labelled on newspaper front pages around here.

When wealthy people spend a lot of money on big toys, all it does is kick money down to the rest of us.

When wealthy people start tinkering with stuff like our food supply, in the past that has had big consequences for humans (think things like the Dust Bowl or Various British-led famines, or the Holomodor and/or great leap forward if that's your bend).

A lot of us are aware that it's not great to have one human with an outsized influence working on large systems about which they have little expert knowledge or personal experience:

those folks can do things that have great consequences for our lives while experiencing no repercussions themselves.

For instance, I'm pretty sure some asshole is going to try to fix global warming by unilaterally deciding to change the albedo of the planet, and that'll cause massive problems. They will smugly claim that at least someone is "trying" something (instead of adjusting the ecocide of the planet by the forces that created their wealth) and when it goes wrong they will just retire to their lair in Montana or wherever and tell themselves that at least they didn't buy another great big toy.

Well, I know that I was just saying that HN is not the place to look for gamers, but I am still working on a video game.

Danger World (https://linktr.ee/playdangerworld) is well underway and should be coming out later this year! Danger World is a 2D narrative adventure written using Flutter's open source game engine, Flame. I am the solo developer. I've been working with a very talented art team to do the art and animations in Spine. The composer has just finished the soundtrack!

Danger World is running on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows. Last week, we got Danger World compiling on my Steamdeck for SteamOS instead of having to use the Windows .exe + Proton. I'll be getting the Linux depot setup in Steam soon.

In the spirit of doing things that won't scale to get some interest bootstrapped, I've been doing a sticker giveaway. I have a bunch of stickers featuring the cast of the game and the Danger World logo and I have been mailing them out to anyone who wants them. I've sent out 40 envelopes or so with about 10 stickers in them each.

So far, in experimenting with the various social media platforms, Bsky seems to be where my potential users are. I posted a boxart concept that I was using for IndieDB and got 100 followers from that single post of who all appear to be real actual users. Certain engagement metrics like impressions are non-existent in Bsky, but in exchange for real actual engagement from people who seem interested in my game's art, who cares?

X feels extremely P2W, except you buy their checkmark and they still don't show your content to anyone. I'm still experimenting heavily in social media land. Meta and Tiktok seem to show more promise, but since I've been scoping out and planning a visual novel mode I have also been considering taking Reddit up on their free ad credit.

I'd love to talk with anyone more experienced in marketing games like mine.
The main problem with other languages is they are not designed from the ground up to be REPL driven. With Python, for example, it works fine until you have more than one module, then it just falls apart completely. With Lisps like Common Lisp and Clojure you never have to reload the REPL for any reason. You program is running "live". It's really hard to describe, to be honest, you just have to try a true REPL language like (CL is the best, but Clojure is pretty good too).
Thanks. I wasn't aware about this library.
Quite a lot of money is at stake in the control for retail investors' minds.

Lots of stupid takes get amplified by people who lack background. Look at the recent Intel/TSMC/Broadcom merger rumors. The story was "Canada could join the US" level of stupid to anyone with experience anywhere near chip fabrication but it still circulated for several days. Also, look at what it did to the stock price of INTC. Lots of money made and lost there.
Did something funky happen to the timestamps in this thread? I could've sworn I was reading it last night (~12h ago)
It wasn't easier, but it was simpler. Fewer moving parts.

The reason we moved away from it was that after a point, the amount of legwork to implement relatively simple behaviours became astronomical. Whether or not the current state of matters is "better", who's to say. But things are certainly much easier now.

Besides, you still can use those old modes if you want to :)
> you don't sound like someone who actually has tried using crypto.

you are quite wrong, I bought a computer from a neighbor with them as one example. I stopped using them because they are a PITA compared to my CC and already digital money. I still have "truly" anonymous monero too, mined not bought

If you think multiple wallets keeps you anonymous, I have a bridge to sell you
> I don't know how you could see the CEO as a bully in this situation.

someone tried to help him, he responded by making threats, and being rude. This is bully behavior. Why do you think responding to either email with a direct threat is reasonable?

> The researcher clearly has "power" in this situation over the CEO

You don't work in, or around information security do you? You're the first person to ever make any claim remotely close to saying any "researcher" has any kind of power. Without the context, if I told any of my security friends about researchers having power, I'd get a laugh about how absurd that idea is.

> he pretty much has caught him with his pants down, so in this case the CEO is lashing out at a perceived threat. You are entitled to the opinion that the researcher responded proportionately in this situation, I happen to disagree. I would not want my friends or coworkers responding this way in their daily dealings,

Much stronger than the expectations I have for security researchers, I wouldn't want my CEO to respond to them like a petty twat. Because when you piss off a researcher, just like the cyclist and the car. We can *both* lose https://gr.ht/i/both-lose.png

> I would want to give someone a chance to make amends instead of escalating, because this is not a playground and the stakes for the CEO are very real and potentially very damaging.

yeah, couldn't agree more... maybe you should raise your expectations for the CEO who's paid not to be a POS, and actually has a duty to protect users, instead of the random trying to stop bad things happening to people he doesn't know?

> I hope maybe we can agree, though, that with a few simple modifications to his approach, he is likely to reduce the probability of negative responses to the initial email. For example, he seems to already understand that people will take this email as a scam or sales attempt. But much is left to the imagination of the (uninformed) recipient about what the auth truly _does_ want. By filling in those blanks, the imagination need not be active.

It's not his responsibility to do any of that, that's the CEOs. Across all your replies, you defend the CEO like he's your brother. Hold *THEM* to the higher standard.

It's not legal where I live (Belgium), it can be legal if you have a driveway and only film your driveway, and if you declare that camera in some database. But since I don't have a driveway, it films the street, I am aware that this is not legal.

It's my personal decision and if I ever get fined for it, I will gladly pay the fine... with the money that my doorbell camera has already saved me. It helped me catch hit&runners that bumped into my parked car twice already, and the camera is now almost two years old.

It's not connected to the cloud, saves data locally, and only stores a couple of days of video. It's not very ethical to unknowingly film public spaces, I know. My lame excuse is that I personally think that catching people that damage my property with a camera is a lesser crime than damaging someone's property and running away. The sad truth is that living in a place where parents drop off and pick up their kids twice a day do not give two shits about others. Hit and runs happen every day here.

Um because it must be worth 2 billion if this acquisition is worth $220 million. I know there’s rules about discussion quality on this site, so I guess we can’t question that.
Yep, exactly. There isn't really a name for the dialect, like I said before. We call it Kannada, but it's not what you would find in Karnataka.

I've tried to do some research, but there's not very much literature and what's there is paywalled. I was even going to email one of the most prominent authors in the field of Vijayanagar-era history and migrations for a copy of her book, but found out that she'd passed away a few years prior, sadly.
There is the fact that the variance of the entire population is defined [0] as

sum i=1..N (x_i - mu)^2 / N

while, given a sample of n iid [1] samples from a distribution, the best [2] estimate of the distribution variance is

sum i=1..n (x_i - a )^2 / (n-1)

Note that we replaced the mean mu by the sample average a, [3] and divided by (n-1) instead of N.

[0] with the mean mu := sum x_i / N being the actual mean of the population

[1] independent and identically distributed

[2] best in the sense of being unbiased. It's a tedious, but not very difficult calculation to confirm that the expectation of that second expression (with n-1) is the population variance.

[3] with the sample average a := sum x_i / n being an estimate of the population mean

Writing a streaming S3 object archiving tool which collects all old objects (in my case they are near-zero in size, but occupy 4KB blocks). In total data is 10GB daily. So I have to stream all this process to not consume such amount of RAM.

These are audit data like external system request/responses for possible investigations. This saves a lot of space. Initially written in Python, now practicing with Rust. Container images is 2.2MB small :)
On the contrary, COBOL is amazing. It's one of the first computer languages that can still compile programs written 40 years ago, while Python scripts 10 years old need extensive rewriting!
Is this a joke about conventional mechanized farming working well enough as it is or has there been serious progress in the AgTech sector? The last time I read of it the big developments were hydroponics and tractors that burned weeds with a laser beam.
I don't know if he is. A lot of people, even historians, do not understand traditional medieval Christian (i.e. what is today Catholic and Orthodox) dogma, and so are often surprised when people historically act in ways that "don't make sense". I suspect the reason is because in today's America-centric world, the most visible strain of Christianity is Protestantism, which functions very differently.
