May have been true when Instagram was a photos app with a chronological timeline of only the accounts you follow + a few ads. If you wanted to seek content outside of your personally curated feed it was in a different tab or you would need to search for it.

Now it’s a meme-shorts first platform that constantly suggests content outside of your follows and non-chronologically. You can’t opt out of “suggested content” pictures or videos in your feed for more than 30 days at a time and there is no option to permanently opt out. It’s not possible to opt out of shorts (reels) suggestions in your feed. It’s not possible to opt out of meta “threads” suggestions in your feed. I just opened the app and 5 of the first 11 items in my feed were sponsored ads, and 1 of the 11 was suggested “threads”.
There are dozens of these in existence. Some you may have used without knowing even, eg: https://www.engadget.com/2014-06-27-chromecast-ultrasonic-pa...

A strong majority of Apple's revenue comes from outside the US. If Apple is tied to US protectionism, it is precisely the sort of org that suffers.

Now to be real, Apple has been announcing these multiple hundred billion dollar investments every four years like clockwork. They did it early in Trump's first term, they did it again early in Biden's term, now they're doing it again. But for all of the "Yeah, this is what tariffs are for! Hoo ya!" rhetoric, note that companies like Apple have far, far more to lose than what America "gains" by acts like this.
Reformation was an extremely important historical event, with very high spiritual, practical and political stakes. This might seem strange to people living in today’s post-religious world, but back then, things were much different.

They're not mutually exclusive because they're a triangle.

Cost, Convenience, Quality: Pick 2

This isn't that deep either - convenience and quality are 2 things that cost the restaurant money (either via higher rent, or more expensive ingredients).

You can't do all 3 because you'll never make a profit.

You can't do only 1 or you'll never get any customers.

Two is just right for both buyer and seller.

It's ambiguous, so I regret posting the link. Usually in energy accounting, "indirect" means "accounting puts it into a different category, but we acknowledge that other category wouldn't be making it if the demand for them wasn't here in this category and we differentiate it so we don't double-count it". Scope 1 vs Scope 2 & 3 in carbon-reporting land, if you will.

Combining primary and indirect energy is possible, I suppose, but it's not how it's usually done? So I gave a shit link, emissions reporting is dead for at least the next 4 years, and so none of this matters anyways cause we're just burning our way into prosperity for the foreseeable future.
I think this just doesn't come to terms with how much more efficient modern lights are?

I remember when folks were resisting LED lights at the start. Folks would literally promote turning off the lights earlier to save energy. Remember back when making sure the lights were out was a big deal?

Turns out, 60-100 watts down to 10 is just ridiculously hard to come terms with. Turn off the lights early just doesn't compete. Not even close.

This also ignores how much more efficient other things are. Televisions would be an amusing one. It isn't as dramatic, sure, but it is about a quarter of the energy?

Has anyone tried Le Train Bleu inside Gare de Lyon station in Paris? It's a very fancy restaurant (French, obviously).

> Do "normal Americans" pay taxes?

Yes.

The on-average crossover between negative and positive net total federal income (individuals will differ because of individual circumstance beyond just income level) tax when taking into account refundable credits (most notably, but not exclusively, EITC) is a bit below the median personal income but not that far below it, so certainly lots of individual "normal" (by most reasonable definitions) Americans do not pay net federal income tax .

But even if they don't pay net federal income taxes, they probably still pay a net positive amount in a variety of state taxes, federal payroll taxes, and federal consumption taxes (e.g., gas tax.)

Lua is a much cooler and more useful language than I think it, publicly, gets credit for. I know it’s widely used in many industries but so many times I’ve read an article like this and thought that it could be even more widely useful.

I’m currently writing a just for me static site generator in Fennel and it’s sad to see just how many powerful packages are abandoned. A lot of it is because they are mostly complete and part of why I like it is lack of churn but a last update on 18 months ago is very different from 10 years.

I want to host knitting patterns with my site generator and techniques like this make it super easy to build a little pattern dsl. It’s stuff like that which makes me wish it was more widespread.

> Heresy is a sin against the moral convictions of the in-group.

Honestly I’m perplexed. Consider the heresy of Arianism. In what way was this heresy morally different from the orthodoxy position? I just don’t see how the nature of Christ affects any possible moral or practical, or even ritual position.
Such ridiculous laws. The real crime here is that the software vendor lets people use the software without creating a new password. Even that is suspect, since I bet most people's password would be 1234 anyway. So really they should force people to set up passkeys to access the system. Or, cut out the setup, and just send them a couple of USB's which allow them to access the system.

This "manufacturer" is not doing its due diligence in any way, shape, or form. They are the ones who should face jail time for not implementing bare minimum security practices.

The idea that the guy revealing a complete lack of security is committing a crime is like saying a guy informing someone that they're naked is guilty of forcibly stripping that person. Or that telling someone there's a giant red button that drains the landlord's bank account is guilty of pressing it. Maybe they should remove the giant red button?! Or at least put it in a locked room?
Wouldn't it be "good, convenient, cheap - pick two" (at most)?

There can be good food near transportation hubs, but it will be more costly. It is difficult to filter out price as a factor in reviews because people can value their money differently, especially tourists.
I expect them to have exactly the same number of swaps in every iteration of the loop past the first one, because they are doing exactly the same thing. It's not just the same number of swaps. It's essentially the same set of swaps, in a different order. In the iteration where i = 1, the number of swaps may differ. Was I wrong about that?

LED lighting is both better and worse.

- purposefully made with line frequency (60hz) refresh which means its actually constantly blinking. you can see this with led Christmas lights by moving them.

- pack liquid capacitors designed to fail well before the rest of the board.

- thermals are too hot and fry the diodes or the rectifier IC’s.

- wrong colors sold everywhere. a proper 4000K 90+ CRI led is hard to find and more expensive. the two most often available are 2700K (yellow) and 5000K (blue)
Well, I frankly think that it’s pretty minor compared to what happened when atheists got the 20th century. Communism was their moment to shine, was the de facto system advocated by atheists during that time period, and to put it mildly, they blew it and any moral credibility to criticize religion with it.

I’ll gladly take 32,000 for the entire Inquisition over another Russian, Chinese, Cambodian, or Vietnamese revolution. Atheists need to own their history too.

Not enough resources to get another bachelors, and a masters is probably practically worthless for a pivot. I would have to throw away the past 10 years of my life, start from scratch, with zero ideas for any real skill-developing projects since I'm not interested at all. Probably a completely non-viable candidate in anything I would choose. Maybe only Robotics would work, and that's probably going to be solved quickly because:

You assume nothing LLMs do are actually generalization. Once Field X is eaten the labs will pivot and use the generalization skills developed to blow out Field Y to make the next earnings report. I think at this current 10x/yr capability curve (Read: 2 years -> 100x 4 years -> 10000x) I'll get screwed no matter what is chosen. Especially the ones in proximity to computing, which makes anything in which coding is secondary fruitless. Regulation is a paper wall and oligopolies will want to optimize as much as any firm. Trades are already saturating.

This is why I feel completely numb about this, I seriously think there is nothing I can do now. I just chose wrong because I was interested in the wrong thing.

> but you can clearly see that the bottom-right quadrant of the plot is basically empty, which is an important insight.

I don't think so? It's mostly a result of the fact that (obviously) the best place to sell food is where there are people, which is also the best place to put a metro station. So on average the kebabs are pretty good and on average they're near a station. In Figure 9 one of the worst reviewed restaurants is over 3km from a metro.

You're likely seeing a pattern where there isn't one, which is normal for humans.

There's one obvious place to go around here for a good kebab, it's a few minutes walk to the station, but the way you can tell it's the best place for a kebab is how late it's open every night. Long after other kebab places are dark they're still doing enough business to justify remaining open.

The best place for pizza in my city is very close to a train station but that's a total accident, they park (it's a van, no really, best pizza in the city but they hated owning a restaurant so they put their oven in a van instead) in the car park of a railway station's pub about five minutes walk from me.
Wow brutal roasts

“You've spent so much time reverse engineering other people's APIs that you forgot to build something people would want to reverse engineer.”
Actually OP found a very small correlation between railway proximity and Google rating. The study didn't actually measure "quality"...

Also, the lowest scoring outliers were the closest proximity, which I think is noteworthy.
Butter's now nearly twice as expensive. I'm paying twice as much to heat my house as I'd have paid 5 years ago. Bread went up over 30 percent during the war. Many product skyrocketed during covid and never came back down.

These are great examples, but I wonder if they're not actually too low.

What we really need is some kind of list (a basket, if you will) of things like this, and then periodically we can check with stores all over the country and ask them how much these things are.

Then we won't have to rely on the CPI bullshit and we'll know exactly how bad the true inflation really is!
I’ve seen fraud detection used in a SaaS product, and the great thing about a weighted rules approach, is professional services can understand it well enough to adjust it without help from engineering or data science, and they can explain to customers how it produced the results it did in a particular case, and the tradeoffs of adjusting the weights or thresholds, and the customers can understand it too. Whereas, a machine learning model, is much harder to understand and adjust, so issues are much more likely to be escalated back to engineering.

(This isn’t protecting the SaaS vendor against abusive signups, it is a feature of the SaaS product to help its customers detect fraud committed against themselves within the SaaS product’s scope.)
The kebab shop in my local Tube station in London used to wrap his kebabs in free bakery counter bags stolen from the local Tesco. Presumably to save on costs.

I don't mind saying it was the worst kebab I've ever had.
I don’t think you need to be a business to use the API? At least I’m fairly certain I’m using it in a personal capacity. You are never going to hit $120/month even with full-time usage (no guarantees of course, but I get to like $40/month).
> You don't get to rewrite decades of mathematical literature because it gives you AI vibes.

AI as a term was invented to describe exactly this. Any usage of the term AI which does not include this is a misunderstanding of the term. You don't get to rewrite decades of computer science literature because it fails to give you AI vibes.

> Most people would refer to and understand AI as being the thing they interact with. You can't interact with an optimizer, but you can interact with the function that is being optimized.

I have no idea what you mean by "interact with" in this context. You can use a non AI optimizer to train an AI. You can also create an AI that serves the function of an optimizer. Optimization is a task, artificial intelligence is an approach to tasks. A neural network trained to optimize chip design is exactly as much an AI as a neural network trained to predict protein folding or translate speech.

When I first started using Cursor the default behavior was for Claude to make a suggestion in the chat, and if the user agreed with it, they could click apply or cut and paste the part of it they wanted to use in their larger project. Now it seems the default behavior is for Claude to start writing files to the current working directory without regard for app structure or context (e.g., config files that are defined elsewhere claude likes to create another copy of). Why change the default to this? I could be wrong but I would guess most devs would want to review changes to their repo first.

> tourist trap restoraunts

Recommendations still matter and some tourists are around for a week or two. I'm highly likely to be a repeat customer at any place that is good.

In my experience finding a good restaurant in a tourist zone is not hugely more difficult than finding a good restaurant elsewhere. The search is easier as a tourist in many ways because the selection is often a limited set.

In San Carlos de Bariloche (highly touristy) I adored Alto El Fuego and I want to go back just for that. Don't try L'Italiano Trattoria: I wanted a bad experience for a masochistic change and I certainly got it. Please gain some pleasure that you've never been there. There's a massive difference between the tastes of local tourists and international tourists.
Tables didn’t work very well with screen readers if memory serves me right. That and it produced a tag soup.

I struggle to get o1 (or any chatgpt model) is getting it to stick to a context.

e.g. I will upload a pdf or md of an library's documentation and ask it to implement something using those docs, and it keeps on importing functions that don't exist and aren't in the docs. When I ask it where it got `foo` import from, it says something like, "It's not in the docs, but I feel like it should exist."

Maybe I should give o1 pro a shot, but claude has never done that and building mostly basic crud web3 apps, so o1 feels like it might be overpriced for what I need.

I'm hoping this is the start of some sanity returning. Trump is doing a disservice if he doesn't let his nominated and congress-confirmed team execute their mission to the best of their abilities. I personally think this is just Trump trying to repay Musk's obvious campaign generousity and maybe it got out of hand. I find it hard to believe that Musk would pass muster in any congressional confirmation hearing, but I do understand many "positions" don't need approved by congress.
