I think it's a combination of Amazon murdering any competitors that can work at scale, Germany's general conservativeness around payment systems, and not-so-great shipping companies (when we lived in Germany, companies like GLS and Hermes were really bad).

In The Netherlands and we have a healthy ecosystem of larger retailers (Bol.com, CoolBlue, etc.) and smaller local shops. Everyone uses the same frictionless payment system (iDEAL) that just works with your bank account and is supported by all Dutch banks. Most companies have next-day delivery, many companies do so if you order between something before 22:00 or 23:00. Bol.com has same-day delivery for some products when you order before 12:00. Some shipping companies also deliver on Sundays, etc.

The conservativeness in Germany really jumped out at me: people still prefer paying cash (can't remember the last time I used cash outside Germany), lot of people hated internet banking (not sure if it's still the case now, but certainly was in 2018 when we left Germany), there are no store openings on Sundays, etc.

(Disclaimer: I lived in Germany)
Thank you very much! We put a lot of effort into our documentation and be ready for the next version of our documentation coming soon. The experience will be even better and faster. We also put much effort recently into simplifying how people can migrate to the next engine version with the [dumpless upgrade feature][1]. We also stabilized our full Rust Vector Store and Hybrid search (AI-powered search) feature in v1.13.

Offering a human sacrifice to an angry god to redeem us of our sins is not that uncommon and certainly not unique to Christianity. Perhaps what makes Christianity unique is the ritualistic cannibalism in many major sects, but there is much less archaeological remains of such practices in other religions and lack of evidence is not proof.
I'm currently starting to learn swedish myself. I was looking for the translation of "facing the west" but I think that was omitted in the translation. (Btw. Why is it facing THE west and not facing west anyways?) if the translation omits such a lot of detail it's not interesting to me.
It's been going on for a while. Congressmen and senators have allowed threats of violence to control how they vote:

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/mitt-ro...

To quote the article, "Some of the reluctance to hold Trump accountable was a function of the same old perverse political incentives—elected Republicans feared a political backlash from their base. But after January 6, a new, more existential brand of cowardice had emerged. One Republican congressman confided to Romney that he wanted to vote for Trump’s second impeachment, but chose not to out of fear for his family’s safety. The congressman reasoned that Trump would be impeached by House Democrats with or without him—why put his wife and children at risk if it wouldn’t change the outcome? Later, during the Senate trial, Romney heard the same calculation while talking with a small group of Republican colleagues. When one senator, a member of leadership, said he was leaning toward voting to convict, the others urged him to reconsider. You can’t do that, Romney recalled someone saying. Think of your personal safety, said another. Think of your children. The senator eventually decided they were right."

That is not a well functioning democracy.
Amazon -> 30-day return policy, they cover shipping costs, no questions asked, doesn't matter how much you used the item.

Law -> 14-day return policy, you pay for shipping, the shop will make it as difficult as possible to let you return the item (even if it's illegal), they don't have to take the item if you opened it (which makes no sense - how do I know I don't want it if I can't try it?)

Hence the terms copper-bottomed and copper-fastened.
Right. The counterpoint would be, "moving fast and breaking things" can sometimes break the important things, destroying far more value than it can ever hope to deliver. A related observation is, you might be moving fast, but you're breaking other people's things.

The slow approach might look like it's trying to "cover everything", but sometimes it's just trying to account for the things that could break, so that 1) they don't end up dumped on other people's heads as externalities, and 2) the total ROI is actually positive.

Which model is more appropriate and to what degree, really depends on the context. Technology is often a good case for the "fast" model, but since this subthread is making this an US vs. Europe thing, it's only fair to point out that the "slow" model works better when the general public is on the receiving end of the business or political activities.
> I've never understood the appeal of services like this

Because it sounds like you assume everyone lives in the same sort of conditions you do, and that's just not the case. In most places in the US, you have to drive to make all of these purchases, and in many places you won't even find stores that have things you need and can find on Amazon.
For books, independent Dutch booksellers have a cooperative called Libris which allows buyers to buy any book they can order and have it delivered to your local bookshop (no postage to pay) or directly to you, with a part of the profits going to your local bookshop. This is great on the whole, and I use it as a first option for new books (if I don't just buy it in the physical shop itself).

But they use some sort of inventory system which hooks into international publishers' stocks, and when you want to order a book from some of those, the system will cheerfully sell it to you, only for the bookshop to contact you a few days later that that book cannot be ordered.

I've had a few cases where the only way to get a certain book was through Amazon (e.g., the mass market paperback editions of Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive).
For the same reasons the US entered WWI and WWII - the US economy has gained more than any other from a stable rule based world. The US paid to rebuild Europe after WWII and that act did nothing but pay dividends.

Thought of another way, if those minerals in the ground are useful resources for the US, it's more in the US benefit to pay now to stabilize the situation so they can later buy the minerals from a happy and productive population - as the amount of trade going the other way will probably be vastly greater.

Same is true of Russia, if it was possible to undo the fuckup there after the fall of the USSR. It could be a huge economy. It's not a zero sum game, if Ukraine and Russia have bigger free economies then everyone else gets bigger too.

That's the idea anyway, it's worked before. It maybe didn't work with China because we forgot the free part. But Ukraine was already heading in the right direction with democracy and fighting corruption - which is pretty much the reason for the war.
I disagree with this. Amazon is filled with so much shovelware that it's virtually unusable for anything that isn't branded. And products which are (e.g. tech, like a laptop or TV, but not a USB cable), I just search on the local price comparison website, and the cheapest is often not Amazon.

I'd actually wager the opposite. I really doubt young people are going to Bandcamp much. While I know a ton of people over the age of 35 who use Bandcamp to keep up with old bands or friend's bands.

SoundCloud was more popular with younger folks. "SoundCloud rapper".
It's got more dark patterns than Temu. So many sneaky patterns to try and trick you in to signing up for Prime. I've never had an issue with Temu - not somewhere to get name brand products, but if I want something cheap and don't mind waiting a couple of weeks then it works better than Amazon.

You mean actual old home say in Italy or Greece or some cheap 'me-too' mcmansion copies in US?

If that works for you thats fine, but to many Europeans this looks very cheap and bland copy, like building a stone medieval castle in suburban US. Having 'greek columns' anywhere apart where they were built 2000 years ago is tasteless to me for example.

Also there is huge room between ornate and minimalist, where most people fall re design taste. I'd say minimalist is for folks who derive their happiness from other aspects of their lives compared to real estate, which is generally a good approach regardless.

But thats us Europeans, we like originality and appreciate and respect utmostly where it came from, be it food or culture.
You are not supposed to treat it as a gospel, following every guideline. Instead, it is a collection of ideas presented to you, so that you can decide if you want to use them (or not!) in your day-to-day work.

In general, software development is not a profession where you learn how to do things and do them, occasionally refreshing your skills. It is a perpetual problem solving field (not without its routines), and a continuous journey. Creativity, personal opinions and exchange of ideas play an integral role in this profession.
You have the fast approach and the really fast approach.

1) Use libraries like ShadCn that give you all of the functionality that you need for the components. Use Tailwind or other frameworks, to change the styling of these components to fit your application theme. Using the components and theme, let Claude 3.7 design the apps for you, it is good enough to get you to pretty decent and custom pages that do (mostly) work. If there is a specific page that you don't like, then you can redesign it.

2) Do the designs in Figma, and then use Builder.io to convert the designs directly into code, use Cursor to fix anything that builder has broken.

Of course, the 2 methods above can be mix and matched, this is what I have personally used in both startups and more established company projects.

>“They’re Scared Shitless”: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trump’s Grip on Congress

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/trump-congress-politic...
I agree with you on "makes you spend more and more money and attention on stuff you don't really need" but sadly this is just sometimes we have to live with and learn to control on our own or with the help of the market. Is like junk food or any other byproducts of capitalism that might not be good for us. They are not going away. We have to learn to live with them (more self-control, regulation to make it less addictive, reducing usage). As with other things capitalism, eventually an industry will grow to tackle this, it will be like Ozempic but for people with short attention spans low self-control.

Regarding your "you simply don't own anything". Leaving aside the financial aspect of it, this is a purely philosophical matter. You could say that owning and streaming are means to experiences. You have more individual control over one than the other. But at the end of the day, for most people, not being able to have a say on whether they can access a given movie or song is not a big deal. Mass media is mostly a commodity. And especifically a commodity they are happy to pay someone else to manage. Sure, a pop artist might remove her music but there is thousands of other pop artists there. You can replace pop for any niche style you might fancy. If you are one of those who finds a specific media artifact not a commodity, then you have the ability to acquire and preserve a copy of that artifact. That carries its own problems of course (loss, corruption, access issues, reliability, etc).

In the age of internet, if Spotify collapses, a competitor will fill the market with pretty much the same functionality. Makes no difference to you. A company removing a song or a movie from your service means you have to search for it in the bay of the pirates instead of your favourite streaming service. Either way, you will have access to it.

When folks talk about owning your email server or having your own customised OS. Most people are not interest in the benefits that the ownership entails and are happy to pay directly or indirectly for a third party to manage it for them. The things people care about are the same as 2000 years ago. Their friends, their family, their love life, their work. The consequences of ownership of media ranks very low in the vast majority of the population.
My father-in-law subscribes to prime for the tennis on Amazon video. He hardly ever buys anything from their site.
I see your point. I think the solution you mention (top 50 trending models) is as good a solution as I could come up with. Maybe the flow should be: Select a GPU / device -> list all the runnable models, sorted by popularity descending. How you want to operationalize popularity is another question...
Lightning network is impossible to use at scale because any operation to move to and from L2 involves operation on L1. So just to create an L2 wallet for every adult on Earth would take 10-15 years, not even counting humans born in the meantime. Second problem is that opening a bidirectional channel to any merchant is also an L1 operation, and thus makes the issue worse. So Lightning Network technical flaws let to a total centralization of the L2. Basically there are now "banks" in L2 who issue their fake virtual tokens and all transaction on L2 happen inside a centralized "bank" with this bank's IOUs and once in a while it can settle accounts. Basically a shittier and in all aspects worse copy of the existing monetary system. Not decentralized, not private, not fast, not safe for customers. Garbage tech and garbage technical implementation.
That still makes no sense, unless you want to have phone calls between bats.
Steam is the classical rebuke to this. It's a store for pay-once products, with minimal (trivially by passable) drm, and it's immensely popular.
What does "naturally occurring" mean in this context?
Definitely. It's not like prime literature, but it's good, entertaining reads. I was 12 when I read his books and I got in contact with so many concepts previously unknown. Things about art, the Catholic church, places in Europe, the CERN, the LHC. The first contact I had with the concept of cryptography was reading Digital Fortress. The first time I heard about the NSA was reading Digital Fortress. It definitely expanded my view of the world.

Yes and: (as you know) Aggregate volume also benefits Apple's whole product suite.

It's hard for a laptop mfg to justify pushing to next node process for just ~25m units. So competitors have to wait for Qualcomm, Samsung, whomever to transition.

It's easier for Apple with ~250m phones, ~50m tablets, ~25m laptops, etc. per year. (Apple's war chest also enables monosopoly of upcoming node processes.)

Imagine trying to pull off AirPods or Vision without that deep vertical integration. The ridiculously ambitious Vision is just barely feasible, riding on mobile's coattails. A Vision using 3rd party CPUs would be delayed.

This all is in addition to the Apple specific optimizations, which you mention.
Unless it culture wide problematic nurture! Then silence and passing the ball back to nature!

Oh, and unrealistic, idealising nurture due to unwillingness to look at nature. That nurtures problems, we do not deal with rational, instead we accumulate problems and shift the blame, until the buildup throws society on the side.

Oh, and if invisible nature, we pretend to nurture, then blame the failings on the individual.

Yes, im fun at parties.
If you're using HTTPS, then you're probably using letsencrypt and so your subdomain will appear on the CT logs that are publicly accessible.

One thing you could do is use a wildcard certificate, and then use a non-obvious subdomain from that. I actually have something similar - in my set up, all my web-traffic goes to haproxy frontends which forward traffic to the appropriate backend, and I was sick of setting up multiple new certificates for each new subdomain, so I just replaced them all with a single wildcard cert instead. This means that I'm not advertising each new subdomain on the CT list, and even though they all look nominally the same when visiting - same holding page on index and same /api handling, just one of the subdomains decodes an additional URL path that provides access to status monitoring.

Separately, that Palo Alto Networks company is a real pain. They connect to absolutely everything in their attempts to spam the internet. Frankly, I'm sick of even my mail servers being bombarded with HTTP requests on port 25 and the resultant log spam.
That doesn't really matter, though. While OP is using Cloudflare, the actual server behind it is still a publicly-accessible IP address that an IPv4 space scanner can easily stumble upon.
100% I pirate because I can't stand how bad the apps/UI/service of streaming is.

I pay for the hardware to self host. Even pay for a private torrent tracker and usenet.

It's not the cost. It's the horrible experience and changing of media. I want a copy of that media that won't change.

Aside from this pedantry being useless, GPT-4o as 1 of many examples, has had several updates including both its knowledge cutoff but also meaningful improvements (usually) in other benchmarks, without any official renaming etc.

I don’t read anything in the article related to nurture vs nature. Can you explain why you mention it?
That could very well be the case. A tiny minority nonetheless.

A small demographic intersection likely made of old millenials and young Gen Xers. Music leaning heavily towards alternative, and away from edm and mainstream.
Curious, what's the downvote for? Would appreciate any feedback.

Back when I used to do pedigree analysis, the general rule of thumb was 1/10 chance that the father wasn't what was stated in the pedigree.

You would run the analysis and get absolute nonsense results, and then you'd swap a father for an uncle, or a mother for her daughter, and the alleles would all just suddenly line up.

We would never tell the families, and since the pedigrees were anonymized before being published there was no need to. Some secrets are just best kept buried.

TIL why upload on 56k modems were capped on 33.6k. I always wondered about that.
Super interesting stuff!

I also remember back in the day that my 56k modem would often only connect at like 48k or so, especially when it was raining. I guess living far out from the city made the connection more noisy?
Isn't the molecule in Ozempic naturally occurring too?
Can you expand on your vaporware claims? I don't see what in the link would suggest that.

And for some of us, not focusing on AI is a good thing. A physics and simulation focus with gobs of memory is certainly intriguing to me.
I agree that "all knowledge is not equal", but I have lots of confusing things to say about that.

* Knowledge is something I value. Is "useful in life" a metric for its value? This only passes the buck to other values, such as being well fed. I'd rather say that some knowledge is more "useful to the growth of knowledge".

* Elf politics are not fun to the uninterested. Do equations become fun when you're interested? I think so, but only sometimes, somewhat. There are things, culturally, that we'd mention if put in a focus group and asked to itemize fun. Things other than equations, on the whole.

* People, curse them, exist in different problem situations. So elf politics may be statistically more relevant to the problems people in the world grapple with than the equations of motion are. This is different from being deep. But it still means that the elf politics is what those people need, and what we want them to learn about, if they're into it.

* Ideally, we should only be having fun. In practical reality we have to deal with contingent shit we don't like. This is not an effective way to gain great understanding, but that form of learning is "useful" since it pays the rent.

Excuse the inconclusiveness.
The article refers to results in animals which means it is probably years - maybe a decade - from being approved.
